Blessed are the non-partisan, for they shall share in the the spoils;
Treasury Board President Scott Brison tabled legislation in the House of Commons today to repeal controversial Conservative changes to the sick leave program for federal public servants, a move that will add $900 million to the government’s mounting budget deficit.
Now, prepare to be really sickened.

And here’s why:
Doomed Harper government made 49 “future” patronage appointments
For example, National Energy Board member Lyne Mercier was due to be renewed in December. Instead, Harper’s government renewed the appointment for seven years last June, effective in December. In July, Keith Chaulk was appointed to the National Energy Board for seven years, effective Nov. 23. Both are scheduled to remain on the board until 2022.
Jacques Gauthier, a temporary member of the National Energy Board, was renewed in April, well before his mandated to expire in December. He is now to sit until 2018. Another temporary member, Michael Richmond, was renewed for three years last April, effective Nov. 1, the day his term was set to expire.
The moves mean that barring the future appointments or early renewals being rescinded, the Trudeau government will not be able to replace any temporary members of the National Energy Board until at least May 2018 and any permanent members of the NEB until January 2020 – which is after the next election.

If you look at the Board, they are oil & gas people. Of course they are in favor of pipelines.

The government has a mandate to govern. If their consulatation brings them to a different conclusion, they will decide in spite of advice, just as Harper would.
Don’t worry be happy, they’ll just euthanize the sick and elderly to save on health care transfers…

I told them they should issue the people who kill for hire, ie the assassin’s business model, double SS runes for their lapels. At least Canadians at large will be able to identify who they are dealing with…

During the last election, the Liberals bought out the public service, the First Nations, and the Muslims.
And the rest of us pay.
At what point will Albertans wake up and start fighting back?
How about we organize and block all railroad traffic at the AB BC border? Nothing gets to or from the port of Vancouver until Trans mountain and gateway gets permitted and the rightaways start being constructed.
How about we organize in NW Alberta and shut in all the gas coming across the border from BC thru AB into Alliance and TCPL pipelines for sale down east?
How about we organize on the SE border and block in the oil pipelines flowing east?
How about we list and boycott all those Quebec Ontario NS New Brunswick companies’ products that they push out here? (I’m not resourceful *TM* enough to do that maybe someone out there is a little more handy at doing that).
Look, I have two months savings left, haven’t worked since November. Spring will be here, weather be warmer, pack up the kids and ol’ lady head out to camp across a railway track down in the crowsnest pass somewhere, nothing to lose = desperate measures.
We just need some natives on our side (think Caladonia) so they won’t make a move, get some LBGQT TYPES, some off white skinned, gotta have some diversity for the CBC to interview, play their game ** obstruct – obfuscate – challenge – PTRITFF (punch them right in the fooking face).
Who’s with me???
Crickets…. Just what I figured. Lie on your back, spread your legs, think of the queen??
The mindless human ballast that elected the Spawn are likely inspired by his pre-sophomoric “oratory”. I just can’t work up the shear magnitude of self contempt required to endure the self flagellation of one utterance before muting the sound or changing channels. The Spawn does take good care of his own in rewarding the federal bureaucracy that helped elect him with loot from unborn taxpayers. In a nation of sentient adult citizens this would be considered corruption. In Trudeaupia 2.0, it’s considered correcting the evil actions of an illegitimate and interloping (Harper) regime.
This issue was bogus from the very beginning. The “$900 million” was and is all smoke and mirrors. It wasn’t even a valid “unfunded liability” which the PBO clearly demonstrated. Clement’s sick leave issue was a solution in search of a problem. The Liberals didn’t “buy out” the federal public service. The Conservatives lost it all on their own. There were no promises made to the public service by the Liberals that would influence the vote. Tony Clement and a willing media was all it took to kill the Conservative vote in the federal public service. There are more Conservatives in the public service than most people realize, but you can’t spend a pile of years pissing off your constitutency and not expect them to bite back.
bu ll sh it and bafflegab are the order of the day.
The Liberals and their front man are playing their Quebec cards, the rest of the country can blow it out their ears. If Scott Brison fancies himself a go to for financial matters he’s doing a good job of losing all credibility.
As a taxpayer I want to see a column on my next return where I can take up to three weeks off as a taxpayer who is sick of this S*×t.
Having fun with our new pretty-boy, are we? BWAHAHAhahahaha.
We are so screwed. Looking at the Liberals in charge shallow and hollow describes them best.
Three years, 8 months and 14 more days of these bobble heads and no time off for good behavior. Anybody west of Mississauga who votes for these idiots in the next general has to be a masochist.
I have to give the Liberals (credit}. I didn’t think they could do this much damage in
so short a time.
Hey they can keep their sick days – but give up the right to vote in elections that pick their boss.
That’s fair.
Next step?
Allow the unions to donate to federal political parties.
I don’t think there are a lot of conservatives in public service unions. I have yet to meet one.
I, Joe Molnar, Woodstock, Ontario, Canada, hereby nominate FIRST NATIONS CHIEF, CLARENCE LOUIE to lead the CANADIAN CONSERVATIVE PARTY!
KIck Conservative ASS Clarence, and SEND Albertan oil ….east….. by pipeline!
AND *uck the nice hair guy, back to his ancestors, to CUBA, if necessary!!
Sorry skip, looks like payoffs to me.
CBC got theirs, fawning bureaucrats got theirs, eco-thugs are getting theirs.
Albertans will pay.
Corruption is back!
I give junior T some credit he has already become a master at opening his mouth and words spill out without saying anything except you immediately get this strong odor of stockyard.

I agree. I can still see the photo of the Foreign Affairs Ministry staff fawning over the Empty Suit.
You get what you vote for, and the union gangsters are certainly getting the payoffs they voted for… the Libranos continue spreading their “culture of corruption”, ignored by, or cheered on by an equally corrupt media machine… Real Change.
That is exactly what happened. I have no respect for the public service. It is abusive and frankly dishonest. I believe some of them were attempting to undermine the Conservatives from the start. Silly Canadians — have voted against their own best interests.
Not all bureaucrats are fawning over him and his party. As for the sick leave thing, the CPC played up that this big bank of sick leave was a liability, but in actually fact it showed that abuse of the sick leave is not rampant. When i retire in 2018, my bank of sick leave vanishes. I make sure I have a good bank in case something happens to me and I can still support my family. Any problem with sick leave abuse can easily be handled by the middle management, but they need backing from senior management. I have seen a case where middle management wanted to release someone, the union had no issue because we had done everything right and tried to correct the employee habits. It was senior management that balked at the termination process. You deal with the few problem people both in the sick leave and harassment cases and the rest will correct themselves. Take away the sick leave and reduce the pension and we won’t be able to compete with private industry for people with the technical skill sets we need.
