Why are these women still cabinet ministers? Someone please tell PM Shirtless that it’s 2016. Feds spent $10,681 on photos of Catherine McKenna and her staff during Paris climate change talks
Nearly all the photos from COP21 published by the department feature McKenna herself.
She appears in almost every shot from the conference posted on her ministerial and departmental Twitter accounts, and in each of the 23 pictures currently on ECCC’s Flickr photo-sharing account.
“Photos, like press releases, social media and other communications tools, are a way to communicate to Canadians the work the government is doing on their behalf,” McKenna’s spokesperson, Caitlyn Workman, said in an email. Health Minister Jane Philpott to repay $520 for Air Canada lounge access
The controversy surrounding Jane Philpott’s travel expenses grew Monday as evidence surfaced that the federal Liberal health minister billed taxpayers $520 for access to Air Canada’s executive airport lounges in North America and Europe.
Tim – I think the expenses allowed MPs and cabinet ministers should be similar to those that I – as a small business owner – am allowed to deduct when I file my company’s taxes. No less, and certainly no more.

Hundreds of progressives will join with Jack Layton’s family today, Monday, August 22, to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the passing of our dear friend, Jack.
The memorial will take place in the beautiful Riverdale Park West from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m., across the street from Necropolis – Jack’s final resting place.
expenses allowed MPs and cabinet ministers should be similar to those that I – as a small business owner – am allowed to deduct when I file my company’s taxes
Yes, and their expense forms should be scrutinized just as thoroughly as our tax returns, with similar penalties for fraudulent claims.
The NDP hss its own Graceland? Who’d have thought?
Have they ever released the cause of Layton’s death?
What could it have been?

Have you actually watched CNN coverage if Trump? They deserve to be treated like garbage. Treating them nicely will make no difference to the corrupt media agenda. They support Hillary and that’s that. Same with Trudeau. He is in fact a media invention. Trudeau does not exist without the media. The media is largely responsible for installing this faux Prime Minister and they continue to overlook his shortcomings
Transcript of Trumps speech in Akron Ohio Video here ( trump starts his speech at the 12:06 mark )
I didn’t have time to listen to the speech. Trump does ad lib, so the Video may not match the transcript exactly.
Snippets: Some former prosecutors have even suggested that the coordination between the pay-for-play State Department and the corrupt Clinton Foundation constitute a clear example of a RICO (Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization) enterprise. The Justice Department is required to appoint an independent Special Prosecutor because it has proven itself to be a political arm of the White House. The DOJ has acted very unethically, particularly the Attorney General’s private lengthy meeting with Bill Clinton shortly before the Department’s decision not to prosecute her for crimes that would have been prosecuted against almost any other citizen.
… Here is one example of Clinton Corruption. As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton signed off on a deal allowing Russians to take an increased stake in a company called Uranium One, giving up control of about 20 percent of America’s uranium supply to the Russians. Clinton’s approval of the deal netted the owners of the uranium company millions of dollars. In exchange for signing off on the deal, some of the former owners of Uranium One gave the Clinton Foundation millions of dollars in donations. In addition, Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a speech to a Kremlin-backed investment firm that was a beneficiary of the deal. Here is another example of pay-for-play. In 2009, Ericsson telecommunications came under U.S. pressure for selling telecom equipment to several oppressive governments – including Sudan, Syria, and Iran. Some these regimes used those technologies to monitor and control their own people. In June 2011, Hillary Clinton’s State Department began adding goods and services to a list that might be covered under expanded sanctions on Iran and other state sponsors of terrorism. During that time, Ericsson sponsored a speech by Bill Clinton, paying him $750,000 – his highest paying speech. In April 2012, the Obama Administration issued an executive order imposing sanctions on telecom sales to Iran and Syria –but those sanctions did not cover Ericsson’s work in Iran. A Trump Administration will end the government corruption. No one will be above the law.
Frances, I think you’re missing the point about the “new” economy. If a Federal Minister can claim $10,681 in photo expenses, you should be able to claim $10,681 in “social media charges” against your small business revenue.
You could hire one of your children (or a young relative) to set up a social media account (Facebook, LinkedIn etc.) and upload a few (well shot of course) photos of your business for $10,681 in charges.
You will grow to like these business practices as established by the federal government. Or at least you should take advantage of them and reduce your corporate tax payable to a trickle.
“Yes there is Islam and then there is…….”
I’ve pointed it out in a few posts in the past. Jews and Arabs are Semitic peoples. Besides DNA, they share many religious and social beliefs, including the burka and the role of women. Westernized Jews, the ones we see in Hollywood for example, tend to not follow many of these customs and thus we are led to believe that they are different. Perhaps they are, at least on the surface. Who am I to say. But just go to New York and you’ll soon have a different perspective.
I was blasted as an “antisemitic”……… (oh the irony)
You don’t have to be a trapper to know the reputation beavers have for viciousness. Don’t send your dog into the water after a beaver because your pup won’t win that battle.

Ah, but Judaism is not a proselytizing religion. And is not expansionist, nor supremacist.
That’s the critical difference.
Note: I’m a long-lapsed catholic, not a Jew.
And no Jew wants to force me, nor my wife, to observe his nutty practices at pain of death or taxes.

Muslims, Islam, and the Koran Are Not the Problem
One of the most fascinating aspects to the post-9/11 “war on terrorism” is the fixation of American statists on Muslims, Islam, and the Koran. “The Muslims are coming to get us,” they cry. “The Muslims have been trying to conquer the world for centuries. They’re determined to establish a worldwide caliphate, one in which everyone will be forced to convert to Islam. They want to replace America’s common-law legal system with Sharia law. The Koran mandates that Muslims kill Christians, Jews, and other infidels and, therefore, we have no choice but to kill them before they kill us.”
Yet, deep down American statists have to realize that all this just a crock. The war on terrorism is not about protecting America from the threat of a worldwide caliphate. The war on terrorism is all about imperialism and interventionism. It’s about control. It’s about whether the U.S. Empire is going to be able to impose its will on people and governments throughout the world.
Was any American statist expressing concern about Muslims, Islam, the Koran, or Sharia law during the 45 years of the Cold War? http://fff.org/2015/12/17/muslims-islam-and-the-koran-are-not-the-problem/
