  10. In an interview with Jian Ghomeshi on ”Q”, Justin Trudeau says his Dad called American pop culture (IE: Archie comic books) ”Crap.”
    After what the major media sources have been revealing in the past 72 hours, I wonder what Pierre Elliot would think of ”CBC pop culture.”

  17. A woman Jian G. was beating was concerned about bruises but he assured her he knew where to hit.
    Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

  18. Red Rag Ottawa Citizen is on the Trudeau agenda message headlining PM Harper’s announcement on income splitting for couples with children, it will help some but not all. Bull feathers. It’s going to help many and hurt nobody. What program helps everyone?
    Letting parents make more choices is not the way of the Left,they want to be the boss of us all from cradle to grave, the Commie doctrine. Trudeau is now boxed in by another master stroke by Harper, he’s going to kill all such tax breaks announced by the Harper government should he become, God forbid, Prime Minister. Of course he could change his mind, or closer to the truth his brains behind the curtain could change his mind.

  19. Another item for the “it’s not easy to catch/it’s probably nothing “ files –
    What goes through your head when you see the government who has been telling you Ebola is hard to catch and the are only a few cases and most people recover from it, orders 250,000 Hazmat suits?
    Do the MSM-stifled reports of doctors, nurses and police that numerous persons who were “bleeding out” in the final stages of Ebola just “disappeared” from hospitals seem to come into focus? Could it be this deadly disease, brought into the country by a criminally negligent government is now far out of control and this fact is being kept from the public until after the election – remember how Benghazi was stifled until post election?

    “Warmth is Good; Cold is the Killer”
    “For decades green extremists have been spreading doomsday forecasts of global warming.
    But where do we find the greatest abundance of life on land? Follow the equator around the globe – the Amazon, the Congo, Kenya, Indonesia and New Guinea – all places where it is warm and wet.
    And where is life such a struggle that few species live there? Go towards the poles – Siberia and the cold deserts of Antarctica and Greenland.”

    “Parts of Ontario could see their “first significant snowfall of the season” on Halloween”
    “A low pressure system is threatening to bring up to 15 cm of snow to parts of Ontario between Thursday and Saturday.”

  22. “The price is not right for many oil rich nations.
    Oil is selling for roughly $83 a barrel on the global market. That’s bad news for Iran, Nigeria, Venezuela, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, among others. They need the black stuff to trade at far loftier levels in order to balance their budgets.”
    That is good news for those who are concerned about these countries exporting their ideology, terrorism, or invading other countries.
    http://money.cnn.com/2014/10/30/investing/cheap-oil-prices-hurt-iran-venezuela-saudi-arabia/index.html?sr=twmoney103114oildie0100story
    Of course these lower oil prices also hurt Canada and in particularly Alberta and Saskatchewan.

  26. Saudi Arabia has changed its oil export policy, shifting away from its focus on oil price, to market share. This means they will not reduce production when prices are soft, instead hoping that the lower oil prices discourage investment in their competitors and eventually drive them from the market. Since 59% of Saudi citizens live on less then $850.00USD to $450.00USD a month, it looks like they can withstand longer term lower oil prices then the west can.

  27. Harper has the progressives spinning with his Family Tax Cut program:
    http://www.ipolitics.ca/2014/10/30/a-windfall-for-the-rich-a-sop-for-everyone-else/
    “In other words, one cannot simply look at tax rates and conclude that, because a two-earner family pays less tax than a single-earner family with the same income, the tax system is treating the single-earner family unfairly.
    There is no justification whatsoever for introducing income-splitting on social or economic grounds — certainly not in the current economic environment. The argument that the government makes — that it did it for seniors and therefore it should be applied to other families — doesn’t make a particle of sense. The fact is that the Harper government gave income-splitting to seniors to make amends for its decision to tax income trusts.
    Income-splitting is being done to placate a small part of the Conservative base at the expense of virtually everyone else. The rollout will be explicitly political: those households that qualify will be able to collect their tax cut when they file their 2014 tax return, just in time for the election.”
    Rife with questionable assumptions. Oh yeah – here’s a real life example of the “rich” Tory base being placated:
    Single income family, $60,000 per year 2 kids under six one older than six but under seventeen:
    Voted NDP last election.
    UCCB – $200/month increased to $380/month
    Income splitting – receive full reduction of $2000 tax even with loss of spousal and child deduction.
    Oh and let’s not forget the doubling of the fitness tax credit, now a refundable tax credit meaning even if there is no tax bill, the credit is still received.
    Voting Conservative next election
    A master stroke by Harper that has the leftie’s heads exploding everywhere. Go ahead Justin and Tom, make my day, threaten to reverse these measures.

  28. Harry (Greed) Reid has started begging for Senate money and voters.
    I love it when I hear them begging to keep their jobs.
    –
    Reid-
    These are voters who could determine the outcome of the whole Senate.
    I’m begging for your help to close the gap IMMEDIATELY.
    –
    Oh Please help me keep my senate leadership job. ha

  31. “it’s not easy to catch/it’s probably nothing “
    Ebola is a lot easier to catch than health officials have admitted — and can be contracted by contact with a doorknob contaminated by a sneeze from an infected person an hour or more before, experts told The Post Tuesday.
    “If you are sniffling and sneezing, you produce microorganisms that can get on stuff in a room. If people touch them, they could be” infected, said Dr. Meryl Nass, of the Institute for Public Accuracy in Washington, DC.
    Nass pointed to a poster the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quietly released on its Web site saying the deadly virus can be spread through “droplets.”
