Mackay out of the race? Thank goodness for that. He always impressed me as being irresponsible, especially after he broke up with Belinda Stronach.
O’Leary? I hope not. He’s simply Lyin’ Bryan 2016.
O’Leary is Brian Mulroney? MacKay irresponsible for breaking up with Stronach?
Weird opinions.
MacKay was a bright hope to knockout Trudeau. Viewed as a Red Tory by those that don’t know better he would’ve made a great successor to Harper and had the chance to pick up 50 seats just by showing up.
Now though….looks like I’ll go with Bernier. I doubt he can win but at least he’s a real conservative. A Chong win would be devastating.
I suspect we haven’t seen the last of MacKay….
I’ll second that thought! I think Trump is going to make it, and he’s already approved the Keystone XL. That will determine the future of Western Canadian oil.
O’Leary is a businessman. So was Mulroney. Lyin’ Bryan was in politics only to advance himself and all he wanted to do was to play with the big kids. I’m surprised that Reagan put up with that pipsqueak’s antics.
After reading some of O’Leary’s business page commentaries, I’m convinced he would be a lousy PM.
As for Mackay, I wondered when he was ever going to grow up. He became worse when he and Stronach split up.
The conservative movement will be better off without both of them.
Bernier….. maybe, but he’s hardly a household name. I agree that Chong would be a very bad choice.

Hundreds of GTA Muslim men in polygamous marriages — some with a harem of wives — are receiving welfare and social benefits for each of their spouses, thanks to the city and province, Muslim leaders say.
Mumtaz Ali, president of the Canadian Society of Muslims, said wives in polygamous marriages are recognized as spouses under the Ontario Family Law Act, providing they were legally married under Muslim laws abroad.
“Polygamy is a regular part of life for many Muslims,” Ali said yesterday. “Ontario recognizes religious marriages for Muslims and others.”
He estimates “several hundred” GTA husbands in polygamous marriages are receiving benefits. Under Islamic law, a Muslim man is permitted to have up to four spouses. …

Peter Mackay has likely written off the next election. Voters always give a newly elected government 2 terms regardless of how pathetically incompetent they may be.
Why is Jason Kenny screwing around in Alberta? That’s a puzzle.
It’s all about priorities. Trudeau finds time to visit mosques but can’t show up for 9/11 ceremonies in Ottawa, he sends Goodale. They both should have been there.
I’m on a wait-and-see with the federal Conservatives and the leadership race. If the incoming leader is someone who supports carbon controls because they think humans can control the climate / weather, they won’t see another cent from me.
This is Canada for crying out loud. When the ice returns in the next wave of glaciation then the country will cease to exist.

Stephen Harper takes job at international law firm Dentons
Joins firm of former cabinet colleague James Moore, ex-PM Jean Chrétien and former Manitoba premier Gary Doer. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/stephen-harper-law-firm-dentons-1.3758088
Hmmm? Laurentian Elite payoff for a weak no fire in the belly campaign? Making way for Prince Spud to become King Spud? Just askin.
Spud has at least 2 terms. The old man did 16 years with the exception of the jokelark 9 month holiday.
Nobody wants to languish on the opposition bench unless your ndp.
Will a ‘star’ candidate appear under these conditions? Not likely. Get used to it folks it’s Spud the show dog for a loooong time.
“Spud the show dog” Heh
For sure that is one mutt that will never make the ‘Working’ or ‘Herding’ group class.
I don’t think so. I suspect this is one of those firms where you get on the roster, but the work is there only when some agency wants you. I am not sure if regular pay would be involved, or if it is more like a “body/consulting shop”. The firm probably goes after ex-Politicians.
“Deplorably, Trump is going to win.”
“You can’t win an American presidential election without the deplorables’ vote. Deplorables are America’s biggest minority. They might even be the American majority. They may or not be racist, homophobic and so forth, but they know they’re deplorable. Deplorable, and proud. They’re the median family whose real income has fallen deplorably by 5% in the past ten years, the 35% of adult males who deplorably have dropped out of the labor force, the 40% of student debtors who deplorably aren’t making payments on their loans, the aging state and local government workers whose pension funds are $4 trillion short. They lead deplorable lives and expect that their kids’ lives will be even more deplorable than theirs.”
Mitt Romney’s campaign was unsalvageable after the famous 2012 “47% remark,” by which he simply meant that the 47% of American workers whose income falls below the threshold for federal taxes would be indifferent to his tax cut proposals. The trouble is that these workers pay a great deal of taxes–to Social Security, Medicare, and in most cases to local governments through sales taxes and assessments. After a covert video of his remarks at a private fundraiser made the rounds, Romney spent the rest of the campaign with the equivalent of an advertising blimp over his head emblazoned with the words: “I represent the economic elite.” Clinton has done the same thing with the cultural elite.”
They want an outsider with a big broom to come in and sweep away the Establishment, because the Establishment has given them deplorably few crumbs from the table these past eight years. As “Publius” wrote Sept. 5 in Claremont Review, “A Hillary Clinton presidency is Russian Roulette with a semi-auto. With Trump, at least you can spin the cylinder and take your chances.” http://atimes.com/2016/09/deplorably-trump-is-going-to-win/
PET stayed in office as PM until he “retired” because he kept bribing Quebec, which returned the favour by voting for him.
Spud the show potato will surely continue the tradition.

How the Sugar Industry Shifted Blame to Fat
The sugar industry paid scientists in the 1960s to play down the link between sugar and heart disease and promote saturated fat as the culprit instead, newly released historical documents show.
The internal sugar industry documents, recently discovered by a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, and published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine, suggest that five decades of research into the role of nutrition and heart disease, including many of today’s dietary recommendations, may have been largely shaped by the sugar industry.
South Park spoofs the black up quarterback.
“The Comedy Central show, which never misses an opportunity to weigh in on a controversy, released a 30-second promo for the (Wednesday) premiere showing the citizens of South Park singing a new version of the National Anthem with the lyrics:”
“Cops are pigs, cops are pigs
Wait, someone just took my stuff, I need to call the cops
Oh no, I just said cops are pigs
Who’s gonna help me get my stuff?
Why did I listen to Colin Kaepernick
He’s not even any good
Oh, I just got all my stuff back
Cops are pigs again, cops are pigs
Colin Kaepernick’s a good backup.” http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2016/09/13/south-park-tweaks-colin-kaepernick-supporters-on-new-episode.html
Doug Ford is right. But not matter, as Petite LeSpud is only a figurehead for the real players.
Once in a while there is some good news lately.
The Federal Court of Appeal has dismissed a challenge filed by a North Vancouver First Nation that claimed the National Energy Board’s review of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion was unlawful. http://energynow.ca/court-dismisses-b-c-first-nations-challenge-of-neb-review-for-trans-mountain/

QOTW – Doug Ford

TORONTO — Doug Ford came out swinging during a surprise announcement Tuesday, saying that while Justin Trudeau may be prime minister, he is nothing more than a “snowboard instructor” and “part-time drama teacher.”
“He is unqualified to run any company, let alone the country.”

They should be allowed benefits for ONE spouse only. We don’t recognize polygamy in Canada, nor should we. We can’t prevent a person from shacking up with more than one other person, but we don’t have to recognize more than one partner for welfare or pension purposes.
