  2. Jackbooted thugs one and all.
    They accidently shoot an innocent person with a stray bullet while killing another at a different address because he had a knife (of course killing justified as always). While the victim recovers in the hospital the police chief does her own investigation. Finds out that the victim takes law enforcement classes, rushes to her hospital room, offers to help with victim’s law enforcement career (nice career you got in front of you pity if it was derailed). Posts a guard in front of the door to her room as if the victim was under arrest! When the victim, still in pain, is discharged she is put in prisoner’s shoes because she has none of her own, she is ordered immediately to police station, threatened with arrest if refuses to talk to those subhumans right there and then. No lawyer present, no SIU present. But the cops are the good guys, right jackboot lickers?

    Hope she gets every penny, unfortunately the jackbooted thugs will never be held personally responsible.

  4. The widow of murdered St. Albert RCMP Const. David Wynn vowed Friday to “fight a lifetime” to see a bail-reform bill become law.

  6. Bill S- 2 1 7 would expand the grounds courts consider when deciding whether or not an accused should be granted bail by specifically including consideration of criminal records and outstanding charges.
    The Liberal government has said it won’t support the bill.

  7. Get ready for Trudeau’s carbon cops
    –Jordan Bateman
    It’s bad enough the prime minister is forcing B.C. to hike its carbon tax by 60 per cent while the rest of the world rejects the idea. Reliably Democrat-loving Washington State voted down a carbon tax last month and U.S. president-elect Donald Trump has already ruled out a national tax. Australia and France have scrapped their carbon taxes. We’re boldly going where no one else is bothering — all to address our minuscule 1.65-per-cent share of global carbon emissions.

  8. Now Trudeau is bragging about the bureaucracy his plan will beget. The government plans to unleash thousands of carbon cops across Canada. Buried in a 209-page document of environmental red tape to be discussed by Trudeau and the provincial premiers this weekend are a dozen words that will cost taxpayers millions: “Compliance and enforcement will create thousands of new jobs across the country.”

  9. That’s right — thousands of new government employees, paid by your tax dollars, policing carbon emissions and making sure people are installing double-glazed windows, driving less, and following the hundreds of other policies in the report. Or, if these new compliance jobs are forced on the private sector, it will mean higher consumer prices and housing costs. Pick your poison, Canadians: higher taxes or higher prices.

  10. The Children are our Future – Millennial edition: Canada’s Worst Driver (CWD) addresses their shortcomings head on:
    https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video;_ylt=AwrBT9EDkktYcGEAax5XNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTEyOGtuOGJqBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDQjI5MjZfMQRzZWMDc2M-?p=Canada%27s+Worst+Driver+2016&fr=mcafee#id=3&vid=6b10516018eb4a754c0cc09bc35b0007&action=view
    5:57 – 7:07
    CWD host Andrew Younghusband tells it like it is to Millennial Krystal MCann (28, from Edmonton) “The drama over nothing is actually tiring..” She responds “You’re not being nice to me…Say sorry for being mean”. Krystal should be the poster-child for Millennials.
    11:32 – 16:35
    Andrew: “Before the ‘Know your speed challenge’, Krystal had what can only be described as a millennial hissy fit”. “I’M NOT DRIVING TODAY”…
    Krystal then tells Psychotherapist Shyamala Kiru “In his generation (she describes as being ‘old people’) it’s always like, just take it, suck it up and make the change but in my generation that not how we think. Millennials are not all the same people and we all want to be taught differently”. Shyamala responds with “That’s really not possible with driving…drivers education…is standardized”. Krystal: “I’m not happy with that. That doesn’t make sense”!! Psychotherapist Shyamala then says what we knew all along “Some of the things that we know in terms of the downfalls of Millennials, there’s a tendancy to seek instant gratification…entitlement…less adaptability and rather low resilience”!!
    Then just before the ‘Know your speed challenge’ Andreew says “Are you ready to do this?” Krystal: “Not until you give me an apology first. For being too harsh with me”. The test reveals the problem with Krystal’s approach.

  11. the four countries responsible for more than half of global emissions are going to raise, not lower, them. Adding other countries with no intention of playing the COP game means emissions from countries representing over two-thirds of global emissions are going to go up, not down.
    So who’s left to save the planet from the predicted global warming Armageddon? Just the European Union, Japan and Australia, with a combined global emission share of 15 per cent. And, of course, Canada, with our minuscule 1.6 per cent emission share.

  12. I taught the earliest of the millennial cohort while I was a post-secondary instructor. What you wrote could have easily described the behaviour of many of my students.
    I was frequently reprimanded by my so-called superiors for my teaching method which, by their standards, was old-school and outdated. I was constantly pressured to “make the learning easier” and treat the kiddies like they were made from delicate and fragile porcelain.
    I quit nearly 15 years ago and I don’t miss it. Had I stayed in that job for much longer, I’m sure I would have become an alcoholic because of all the idiocy I had to contend with.
    There’s a reason why school teachers quit the business after, on the average, 5 years.

  15. ‘Sexist’ banquet joke riles feminist researchers at Arctic science conference in Winnipeg
    Leah Braithwaite, the executive director … stressed that ArcticNet does not “condone anything discriminatory or exclusionary,” she said the comments “were taken completely out of context, and without the context, the comments did sound hurtful and offensive to people.”
    Braithwaite said the “comments were completely misconstrued, and they didn’t mean at all what they sounded like.”
    “It was actually a linguistic misspeak.”

    Hopefully these snowflakes could go to a safe room where they wouldn’t find any triggers for their sensitive insecurities, and find lots of therapy stuffed toys and coloring books to work on.
    It’s interesting that the comments following the article are mostly NOT supporting CBC’s usual PC twaddle

  16. Well just bend over, carbon tax it is, nothing we can do but weep and wail and pay and pay….targets not met will have to be bought is the concept, we are not big polluters. Neither Trudeau nor his band of incompetents, including his Environment Minister, have a plan, they’re winging it.
    Politics in this country needs a shakeup, let’s hope O’Leary runs for the Conservative leadership.

  18. What on earth was Joe Biden doing here and who invited him? Beyond a few platitudes, who benefits? I suspect the Biden grin was genuine, he must have been thinking what bunch of rubes.

  19. Saw this on Powerline; learn it because this is Canada 2016:
    The Anthropocene Creed
    I believe in CO2, the gas almighty
    Creator of warming on earth
    I believe in Climate Models, our Lords,
    Which were conceived by Navier-Stokes,
    Born to make climate scary
    Suffered under climate skeptics
    Were crucified by e-mails, dead and buried;
    They descended into Hell;
    On the third assessment report they rose again from the dead;
    They ascended into policy heaven,
    And sitteth on the right hand of the administrator Almighty;
    From thence they shall come to judge the emitters and the dead.
    I believe in the Hot Spot
    The Holy Scientific Consensus;
    The Communion of Experts;
    The forgiveness of emissions;
    The resurrection of Gaia;
    And the Gas Everlasting.
    Amen

  21. Re:Trudeau / Biden video by Brian Lilley.
    Brian should have omitted the gratuitous dig about Trudeau calling himself eye candy. Trudeau supporters see it the same way we see Arctic dinner speaker kerfuffle in John Galt’s comment at 4:57. Cutting the video from 1:18 to 1:38 makes the message a lot sharper.

  23. Raise a glass tomorrow to toast the real “Canada Day”.
    The Statute of Westminster, 1931: Giving Canada Its Own Voice
    The anniversary of the establishment of the Statute of Westminster is celebrated each year on December 11. The Royal Union Flag, commonly known as the “Union Jack,” where physical arrangements allow, is flown along with the National Flag on federal buldings, airports, military bases and other federal buildings and establishments within Canada, from sunrise to sunset, to mark this day.

  24. Evidently someone has no knowledge about statistics. Sampling is the act of selecting a random data point and checking its characteristics, comparing it with whatever tolerances and standards are in effect.
    What’s next? “Define what you meant by ‘the'”?

  25. Most people never even heard of this day, nor do they understand its significance. They all assume that July 1, 1867 was the day Canada came into existence.
    It did, but it didn’t. It was a confederation of several British colonies into a larger union with a central government. But it had no autonomy as such and that didn’t come until the Statute of Westminster was enacted. For example, when Britain was at war in 1914, the rest of the Empire was automatically as well. In 1939, Canada declared war independently of Britain.
    Oddly, I first learned of this while looking through citizenship books that my parents had to read in order to become Canadians. I don’t remember it being taught in school or, if it was, it was covered to briefly that I have no recollection of it.
    That’s a shame because I sometimes ask recent high school graduates that I might meet if they know that the Statute is. Inevitably, their response is “Huh?”

  26. One thing about a carbon tax is that it can be undone. Witness the Australian experience.
    I suspect that if the liberals themselves aren’t forced to recant the next election might be fought over it. It’s bad tax policy by any measure.

  27. I’ll bet Libs won’t allow the flying of the Union Jack. They are keen to have us forget our history.

    Milquetoasts. Every time that sort of thing happens in Lotusland, we out here on the prairies laugh at them.
    Yet those same pantywaists take great pride in being close to major ski resorts and won’t hesitate going there. Then again, to them, that’s “good” snow. “Bad” snow is anything in the city which might interfere with their pampered daily lives.
