Those Moderate Liberals!

Your tax dollars at hate;

B’nai Brith Canada is deeply concerned after learning that a federal grant was used to produce a guide instructing Canadian Muslims on how to vote in last Monday’s national election.
 
The “Canadian Muslim Voting Guide: Federal Election 2019” was released by the Canadian Islamophobia Industry Research Project at Wilfred Laurier University on Oct. 18, just three days before Canadians went to the polls. Its front cover acknowledges support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), a federal agency that assigns research grants.

“It is totally unacceptable that government funds have been used to promote an antisemitic movement in Canada,” said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B’nai Brith Canada.
 
“It is deeply troubling that taxpayer dollars were used to subsidize a document ‘guiding’ Canadians on whom to support in an election.”
 
The Voting Guide also alleges that “Zionist ideologies play a prominent role” in fomenting Islamophobia in Canada (page 6). No evidence is cited for this absurd and dangerous proposition.

Things You’ll Never See On The CBC

Former senior aide to Hillary Clinton and former Clinton Foundation advisor Justin Cooper was one of the organizers of an exclusive New York City fundraiser held for Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party of Canada, True North has learned.
 
According to a source, Cooper was involved in organizing the New York fundraiser for Trudeau’s re-election bid.
 
As Blacklock’s reported on Tuesday, the fundraising event for Liberal expatriates living in New York City was held on October 10 at an unknown address. While all political donations must be publicly disclosed, the deadline for reporting donors to Elections Canada is not until two months after the election.

Cooper is the notorious staffer who was responsible for setting up a private email for Clinton during her time as Secretary of State in the Obama Administration, which some say cost her the bid for the presidency. Clinton’s private server was registered to “Justin Cooper.”
 
According to reports at the time, Copper had “no security clearance and no particular expertise in safeguarding computers, according to three people briefed on the server setup.”

Small world.

Blame Something

Blame somebody. Blame anybody, but.

The evacuees staying at the University of Regina residences are under duress and struggling in an unfamiliar environment, said Saskatchewan’s fire safety commissioner Duane McKay after several disturbances and three incidents on the campus that led to criminal charges.
 
About 420 people have arrived in Regina from the Pikangikum First Nation, a fly-in community in northwestern Ontario. It’s still not clear when they will be able to go home.
 
Saskatchewan’s government pledged to accept as many as 2,000 evacuees last week as fire threatened the community. McKay said there has been “a number of incidents” that have occurred since their arrival.
 
Some of the disturbances involved violence and damage to the residences, but McKay said nothing amounted to “large-scale destruction.”
 
“These individuals are coming from a very remote community, they’re in a very strange environment,” he said.

I blame the soft bigotry of low expectations.

Scheer climate plan would encompass more big polluters, require investments as penalty

A portion of Scheer’s plan, obtained by CBC News, would compel facilities that produce 40 kilotonnes of emissions or more per year to invest in green tech. The Trudeau government’s current rules impose emission caps on firms that emit more than 50 kilotonnes per year.
 
Scheer will outline his party’s much-anticipated environmental policy at a speech in Quebec on Wednesday. The Liberals have criticized him for taking such a long time to release a climate plan; Scheer was elected leader of the Conservative Party in May 2017. […]
 
In 2017, the 1,622 facilities monitored by Environment Canada’s GHG Reporting Program accounted for 292 megatonnes of emissions — 41 per cent of Canada’s total, according to Environment Canada. The oil and gas sector was responsible for more than a third of those emissions.
 
Mining and oil and gas have been the only sectors to increase emissions since 2005.

Coulda had Max.

Did you know Calgary has its very own Eco Mentor? We pay them $76,094/year. No idea what they do but it sounds like a sweet gig if you can get it. Oh and when you get your property tax this week and it’s much more than last year, sleep well knowing we have an “Eco Mentor”

There’s also a Cycling coordinator, Walking coordinator, and Liveable Streets Manager on the payroll.
