Lefties promptly tell Rempel Garner’s husband to go back to where he came from.

It’s good to be rich and a Liberal

“We work with the municipalities and federal government to submit a list of what we think, some projects that would be submitted — we put some on, the national government wanted the airport put on and we will put it on,” McNeil said.

Funny.

“The people that live here, they just want their little world the way it is,” said Malkin. “They paid five, seven million dollars to buy a house in the community. Do you think they should have to have it changed because our mayor wants to have the missing middle show up?”

I seem to remember that sentiment being what conservatives were excoriated for.

West Vancouver, in John Reynolds old riding, is currently represented by Liberal Pamela Goldsmith-Jones who won a majority in her riding in 2015 with 55%.

The average house price is $2.7M.

It’s their house

It doesn’t really matter to me what Quebec demands of it’s immigrants. Good for them, when there is demand, you can be stingy. I would like to point out that if Saskatchewan or Alberta were to put these restrictions on new immigrants (which we should), we would be blasted for being racist Nazi’s.

Quebec, though? Hmmm, well, there is an election on, you know.

Trump moving the USDA

And Frontpage Mag says the swamp hates it.

A time-tested political gambit is moving new public services to areas in which a party needs support, but rarely does a politician move an existing service.

Flashback to the 80’s when Grant Devine started the Fair Share Saskatchewan program. This seems to be a similar program, but for very different reasons.

Devine wanted to shore up his support among the rural constituencies and diffuse the strangle-hold the NDP and public sector unions had on Regina. His public motivation for the program was to help support the economies of rural Saskatchewan. The voters saw it as punitive because he went whole hog on the public service and it was a factor in the PC’s losing the election. Romanow killed it almost immediately on taking office.

Trump isn’t doing that. He’s moving one department closer to the people the public servants are there to support. It’s one thing to move the Saskatchewan Dept. of Agriculture from Regina, surrounded by farms to Kindersley, surrounded by farms than it is to move it from the east coast of the US to Kansas where it’ll be surrounded by farms.

Things I’ve learned.

If you don’t put limits on empathy people take advantage of the vacuum. As an example, these scammers, who for cash will email you an official looking PDF saying Fluffy and Hoppy the rabbits are ’emotional support animals’ and you deserve special treatment.

In the article, the two examples given are actual service animals and probably cost upwards of $10K each with a two or more year waiting list. No Swimmer the fish, Fluffy or Hoppy the rabbit was cited, but I assure you, they exist.
