Maxime Bernier starts the week with a solid policy announcement.
I concur!
We need to teach those RWNJ’s (right-wing nut jobs) a lesson!
He began a Change.org petition suggesting that Kohn be an example to the hate-mongers on the right. The petition says CNN should send Kohn to a Sharia law based country without any bodyguards so she can be living proof of what beautiful and tolerant societies they are.
Even Justin wouldn’t take her.
May deems the BDS furor ‘old news’ now. Decides nothing.
Elizabeth May says she will continue to lead the Green Party after long consideration spurred by the party’s decision to support a controversial resolution supporting sanctions against Israel.
Read the following as: “I love the being paid part….”
“I love being a member of Parliament. I don’t love politics. I don’t love being Leader of the Green Party. It is not really something I’d recommend to a good friend. It’s not fun,” she said in an Aug. 5 interview. “Politics is awful.”
Awkward
Huma, Huma, Huma.
Meanwhile…message discipline.
Must be a day ending in Y
Bomb blast hits wedding hall in Turkey. About two hours north of Aleppo, Syria. Two guesses.
What he said.

It’s a busy weekend
There won’t be many posts.
Have a good weekend.
What the hell do you have to lose?
“You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, 58% of your youth are unemployed — what the hell do you have to lose?” Trump asked the audience in an unscripted moment from a speech in which he otherwise stuck to his teleprompter.
He accused Clinton of wanting to give jobs to refugees rather than unemployed African-Americans in the US, saying they have “become refugees in their own country.”
Y2Kyoto: It’s about control.
On how politicians, foreign and domestic, used the climate hoax.
I learned that both domestic and international actors had succeeded in using the poorly understood science of climate change to advance an ambitious environmental agenda focused on increasing centralized control over people’s daily lives.
Not a cult, no, nooo, no.
Surprising no one.

Okay. So it was a ransom. Obama must hate Iran, they keep making him look like a jug-eared dweeb.
There’s a glimmer of hope
Could it be that reset #2 may have worked? Via Ken K in the comments:
US Daily Wire had Trump by 6. I admit, I’ve never heard of them before, so I don’t know their reputation. Lots in the breakdown that’s interesting.
Red Rose Country
Libin on the the Alberta NDP. He’s like, “What the heck are you doing, Alberta NDP?”
I’m like, “Uh, Kevin, that’s the effing plan.”
Libin likely doesn’t have much contact with the NDP or their beliefs.
What do you think happens when the Balancing Pool is running all of the formerly private power companies? If you guessed Alberta Power Corp., congratulations. If you think the ABNDP wouldn’t like to leave behind a few crown corps when they leave office, you’re mistaken.
What better way to nationalize an industry then using the capitalists own weapon? I’d be surprised if the NDP hadn’t game-planned this for years. Carbon Dioxide gives the perfect excuse to run up the bills, the contracts guarantee the companies get bought out by the gov’t., the citizens pay a tonne-more to ABPower, ABPower pays a tonne-more to the gov’t, the coffers run over.
This isn’t incompetence, it’s a socialist wet-dream.
If the interaction between a couple of our Alberta commentators is any indication, then bank on at least one more term. The Alberta right-wing appears to still be in stage two of grief, anger.
The Asteroid
So sad. See ya, good riddance.
Snort:
Denton has slammed what he called a “personal vendetta” and said in a memo to staff that it was “disturbing to live in a world in which a billionaire can bully journalists because he didn’t like the coverage.”
It wasn’t Thiel that killed Gawker, it was the court that decided Gawker’s actions went over the line.
“Mental health issues”
And the left accuses the right of using dog whistles….
Global News has learned the RCMP is now leading the investigation into a stolen plane that mysteriously crashed in Peterborough, Ont. last week and it is being treated as a potential “national security issue.”

How Deep, Senor Maduro?
Banning the Burqa
Integration should be the end-goal of any immigration policy.
Austria’s Foreign and Integration Minister Sebastian Kurz from the centrist People’s Party, who plans to introduce a new integration law next year, said religious symbols such as the burqa were an issue that needed to be discussed.
‘Heck of a job, Brownie’
