  1. Finally, after 260 plus days of waiting, Justin Trudeau’s ‘pro-active disclosure’ is out.
    Now, we can see the honesty and transparency of the new Liberal party.
    Unfortunately, it is a farce. JT has released crap. He has treated the voter as one of his fans that love him unconditionally.
    JT has listed 5 trips for a total disclosure of $ 8,705.81. That is for a 3 month period. He was averaging about $7,000 a month on travel alone before he became leader. It is a slap in the face to the taxpayer.

    BUT, there is a silver lining in this very dark cloud.
    Justin (and companion) has a $2,000 expense listed for a trip to Sudbury. The trip was explained as ” Visit to Shkagamik-KWE Health Centre, Nickel Rim South Mine, Collège Boréal. ”
    Sounds OK, a few photo-ops on our dime. I don’t like it, but there is a lot I don’t like about all politicians and the way they spend our money.
    The shiny one also had lunch with a guy who won a contest for helping JT win the leadership. Oh well.
    BUT, one more little item caught my eye.
    ” Roche was going to see Trudeau again Thursday night at a $1,200-a-plate fundraiser where he was working as a volunteer, not a paying customer.”

    Justin went to a fund-raiser. He cannot bill the taxpayer to attend fundraisers.
    I think his main purpose for the trip was to attend the fund-raiser(that is what he does best)and the rest was just cover.
    There is more. I’m waiting for a reply from someone.
    If I get the answer that I’m expecting, the shiny pony best know how to tread water for a very long time.

  2. I rarely complain about the filter, it is part of the territory, but this time my tip may actually be important.
    Thanks.

    “China Pollution Tops Hazardous Levels Ahead of Congress Meeting”
    “Pollution in Beijing was stuck at unhealthy levels for the sixth straight day, prompting warnings for people to stay indoors as thick gray smog shrouded the capital a week before the annual meeting of China’s legislature.” (googlenews)

    Thanks, no need to apologize. I appreciate this site and can’t imagine the time it must consume. Is AWK, short for ‘alone without Kate’ ?

    “Beijing ‘barely suitable’ for life as heavy pollution shrouds China’s capital”
    “Ordinary Chinese have also found new ways to express their anger about pollution. A man in northern China, Li Guixin, filed a lawsuit against his hometown of Shijiazhuang, saying it owed him the 10,000 yuan ($1,800) he spent on an air filter and a treadmill to exercise indoors, his lawyer Wu Yufen said yesterday.
    Air quality
    “Li Guixin couldn’t take a walk or run like in the past as air quality worsened and he also has to wear a mask now when he goes out,” said Wu, who also lives in Shijiazhuang, home to some of China’s worst air pollution. “His case is relevant for everyone in our city.””

  6. “PM to send Canadian delegation to Ukraine”
    “Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced that Canada will be sending a delegation to Ukraine on February 28, 2014.
    The Canadian delegation, which will include parliamentarians, community leaders and government officials – led by John Baird, Minister of Foreign Affairs – will meet with members of the anticipated Ukrainian transitional government and civil society.”

  7. I thought China’s “basic dictatorship” allowed them to step in and sort out problems like this tout de suite. That’s what Kim Justin-il said. So why aren’t they doing it? Maybe Justin knows.
