One mans communist tyranny….

1. The translation the media wants to give is “Little Potato.”
   The intent is more accurately “small potatoes.”

2. Perhaps a bit off topic, but I’m still miffed at Telus (my favourite carrier until I dumped them now).
   Telus kowtows to their overlords as follows:
   “Carbon pricing is the most economically effective way to reduce emissions and stimulate clean innovation – which will be critical to Canada’s success in a changing global economy.”
   What blatant hypocrisy! Our industry is much cleaner than China’s that supplies the phones Telus makes its money on. Perhaps Telus has cooked up a juicy federal contract or are they they really this stupid?

3. Of course Justin has no beef with letting the Chi-Coms bring a little piece of their police state into Canada: Scratch a social “democrat” and you are liable to find a would-be commie underneath.

4. The maintenance of our national sovereignty and the defence of our national interests are the most fundamental principles that should guide any national government.
   Too bad we have a post-national government now.

5. Communist China’s $15.1 billion takeover of Nexen was their largest-ever successful overseas acquisition.
   Guess the party that approved of this deal.

6. Telus is feeling the heat. They must have received a lot of calls regarding their carbon ignorance and the political implications thereof.
   My guess is they become a little more careful with their politically tainted tweets, at least until people stop cancelling their contracts.

9. “How China’s Past Stimulus Is Dogging Its Growth Prospects.”
   Local governments were allowed to create off-balance-sheet companies known as local financial vehicles in 2009 and 2010 to fund the stimulus spending. Off-balance-sheet liabilities can be a source of uncertainty as they potentially obscure debt loads that aren’t included in officially reported numbers.”
   The study by Chong-En Bai of Tsinghua University, Chang-Tai Hsieh of the University of Chicago and Zheng Michael Song of the Chinese University of Hong Kong says only a quarter of China’s stimulus spending shows up on the government’s balance sheet. Three quarters of the spending was conducted by entities that were off local governments’ balance sheets.”
