  1. Just looking at the CFL East conference standings. Talk about teams making the playoffs and not even deserving a ‘participation ribbon’.

  4. Gave up thinking about the CFL decades ago.
    3 down football can be entertaining but increasingly it has lost it’s lustre. For the majority of Canadians it’s NFL. The average age of a CFL fan is 55 – a diminished return. No future.

  8. We’ve seen what the economy if the future is. It’s the Obama economy. It will unexpectedly flail also at zero or below growth.

  10. In the most lawless countries, the report found that criminal activity goes unchecked, laws are not applied equally, corruption is apparent, and foreign investment does not reach the people who needed it.
    These are the ten countries where the rule of law was applied the least effectively.
    10. Bolivia
    This South American country was found to have high levels of corruption and very poor criminal justice. (Getty)
    9. Uganda
    Levels of corruption in Uganda are among the highest in the world. Order and security were also found to be low. (Getty)
    8. Pakistan
    Of all the countries included in the index, Pakistan had the lowest levels of order and security. Enforcement of regulation was also found to be a major problem. (Getty)
    7. Ethiopia
    The Ethiopian government performed poorly in terms of openness. The report found that laws and government data were not properly published and that complaint mechanisms were substandard. (Getty)
    6. Zimbabwe
    Zimbabwe is infamous for corruption, and issues were found within the legislature, judiciary, military and police. The country also performed worst globally for fundamental rights for citizens. (Getty)
    5. Cameroon
    Corruption was found to be rife in Cameroon, and order and security were both woefully low. (Getty)
    4. Egypt
    The Egyptian government is the least open in the world, according to the WJP’s index, with pitiful rights the information dragged the rating down. (Getty)
    3. Afghanistan
    Afghanistan’s residents experienced poor civil justice and reported high levels of governmental corruption.
    2. Cambodia
    Civil justice in Cambodia is the worst in the world – laws are not effectively enforced and access to help without discrimination is poor. (Getty)
    1. Venezuela
    Venezuela was found to be the most lawless country in the world. Criminal justice is at the lowest level in the world, and there is little constraint on the power of the government. Regulatory enforcement was also the lowest found by the index. (Getty)

  12. The only reason this is breaking is because an independent law enforcement agency looked at Weiner and Huma’s computers and mobiles. So the FBI had to investigate.

  13. The MSM isn’t writing about it, but Mary Jane McFall, Federal Agriculture Minister McAulley’s Chief of Staff is facing perjury charges relating to her testimony at an earlier trial where Burnbrae Farms – her family’s egg empire – defended itself against charges of marketing inferior products.

    There is much, much more to this story, involving “missing” court files and Leona Dombrowski, McGuinty’s former Ag Minister, now a Justice of the Peace, who issued a ruling favoutable to Burnbrae Farms (and McFall).
    Ian Cumming, journalist for Ontario Farmer, has discovered that Dombrowsky should have recused herself from the case because her family had been involved in a lucrative business transaction with Burnbrae.

  15. If Maryam Monsef were a Cabinet Minister in a Conservative government how long would it take the Liberals and media to make a huge issue of it and demand she step aside? Why is Trudeau allowed to stay silent on this?

  17. ” a 19-year-old Texas A&M University student”
    For those who don’t know, Aggie jokes (Texas A&M) are very common in Texas. This will only further the jesting.
    From the comments to the article: “without the picture this is next to impossible to prove. I would like to see all the evidence” Yah, me too.
    Short version Aggie joke: Aggie researchers make astounding discovery. They took a cricket, put it on the table and told it to JUMP. It jumped. The pulled off a front leg of the cricket and told it to JUMP. It jumped. They continued this process in an orderly fashion from front to rear until the cricket had no more legs. At this point they again told it to JUMP but it didn’t move. From this they concluded that if you tear off the legs of a cricket, it can no longer hear.
    I know …. it’s lame but there you are.

  18. “Why is Trudeau allowed to stay silent on this?”
    Because there is no effective opposition. There is a liberal leading the conservatives right now.

  19. This morning’s headline at Reuters.
    Reuters/Ipsos poll: Clinton leads in early voting
    Still shilling for ‘illery, they refer to her email “problem”

  22. PET Cemetery Report.
    Liberal Justine’s parrot is not dead: “No, no, ‘e’s uh,…he’s resting.” (H/T Monty Python)
    …-
    “Trudeau takes off to sign EU trade deal, but skies ahead aren’t clear
    After the signing comes ratification and implementation processes, in Canada and 28 EU member countries”
    “No tariffs are set to come down just yet. These signatures simply kick off a ratification process.
    And it’s not a simple one.”
    “… 28 member countries of the EU need to vote in favour for the deal to be provisionally applied…” (cbc)

  23. Since this is a Canadian Blog, I thought there would be more interest in bill C-16.
    I posted this on 10/26 but it got no interest.
    ————————-
    he and she, ze and zhe, they and those, and other pronouns for the alphabet people (LBGTEFWXYZ) is apparently about to be mandated by law in Canada.
    “Jordan Peterson, a psychology professor at the University of Toronto, posted a YouTube video criticizing the proposed Bill C-16, which adds gender identity and gender expression to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination.”
    I accidently saw this TVO discussion…. it’s not something I would normally watch …. and got hooked. It was on TVO. I guess that is TV Ontario. Anyway, it just caught my interest and might yours as well. It gets better as it goes along….. but it is long at nearly a hour. Some interesting panelists.

  24. John Galt:
    In a month, they’ll be suing!! If unsuccessful, in a year, they’ll claim sexual abuse. And if that don’t work, they’ll blame climate change and the fact that the whales are too thin!!
    It’s a never ending sink hole of welfare and self pity!!

  25. David, we here and others in Canada who keep themselves informed are well aware of the Marxists efforts to neuter Canadians. Unfortunately many people have been dumbed down enough that they cannot see where this is going. Ontario and Saskatchewan, yes Brad Wall, have already neutered birth documents.
