The Definition of Stupidity

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Cases in point:

In one of the biggest changes, long-time defence minister Harjit Sajjan is being removed from the defence portfolio and replaced by Procurement Minister Anita Anand.

Anand successfully handled the government’s vaccine rollout and was seen as one of the standouts in Trudeau’s last cabinet. 

(Sidebar: no, she bloody hasn't!)

Sajjan, a former soldier and police officer, leaves defence as the military deals with an ongoing sexual misconduct crisis with several top generals facing accusations and concerns the department has done little to make women feel safe in the forces.

International development is a much smaller department with much less prominence internationally, but Trudeau insisted Sajjan was not being demoted and had done good work trying to reform the defence department.

 

(Sidebar: it's totally a demotion and we all know it.)

 

The complete list of failures and favouritism here

 

Other mistakes:

- Goebbels is now the environment minister but one is sure that he won't let go of his pet project.

- Bardish Chagger is out.

 


What would one worry about?:

What is not publicly documented is another side of the military’s response to COVID-19, involving the work of defence intelligence and its medical experts in monitoring and assessing the threat posed by COVID-19 in the crucial early months of the outbreak, first in China, then globally.

 

 

You paid people not work and bribed them to vote Liberal.

Good luck getting them to be over-taxed and under-employed:

Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough says shifting the government’s COVID-19 support programs from ones that were more “passive” to those that “incentivize work” is a reflection of the country’s success in fighting the pandemic.

 

Would this be the success of killing senior citizens and shutting down an economy?

Or firing people over their reluctance to have injected into their bodies something that is likely to harm them?

 

 

This was instituted by someone who has never, ever worked in a school:

Parents of elementary school children in Toronto are expressing concern after their children were asked not to speak during lunch in an effort to curb transmission of COVID-19.

 

Good luck with that, guys.
