  7. Sure why not? Trudeau is already scrapping MacDonalds name/picture from the $10 bill

  9. Actually, that’s not exactly the case. The new $10 bill already in circulation, issued to commemorate Canada’s 150th, features John A. Macdonald as well as George-Etienne Cartier, Agnes Macphail, and James Gladstone.
    Then in 2018 “Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister, will move from the $10 to a higher denomination, as will Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who is currently on the $5. Another Canadian will be chosen for the $5 note in a similar manner to Ms. Desmond.
    Former prime ministers Sir Robert Borden and William Lyon Mackenzie King will be dropped from the $100 and the $50. The $20 bill, which has long featured the Queen, will remain unchanged.”

  10. An Ontario court judge, Judge Zabel is being judicially “lynched” for wearing a MAGA hat in his courtroom (AS A JOKE) the day after Trump was elected. I cannot help but wonder if he would have been similarly pilloried for wearing a Hillary t-shirt or some such in celebration of a Hillary victory. Somehow I think not. You can fault him for the hat stunt on the grounds of it being unseemly for a judge to display a political symbol in the court, but that does not seem to be what he is being censured for. The assumption is that he favoured Trump (that is not clear at all) and that “Canadians” would be offended by this. Blatchford has the specifics at National Post:

  11. Indeed.
    I think Lang has a great set of pipes. I can’t agree with her politics though.
    Kenny did the right thing. This was an ambush.
    Lang should recognize that Kenney as Minister of Immigration reached out to threatened homosexuals around the world.

  12. More on the Liberals immigration problem:
    https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/08/23/oh-justin-my-justin/#more-137639
    I think that most would agree that this would not be happening under Harper, who was generous enough with immigration while preserving the integrity of Canadian culture and values, yet recognized that we cannot solve the worlds problems by inviting everyone to move to Canada, as Justin has done. The Liberals are creating a mess, and I think they will lose a lot of support, particularly in Quebec, in the next election.

  13. Absolutely this was an ambush. I do not think Kenny will lose much support among the LGBT crowd, since they are already hostile to Conservatives. A polite refusal was exactly the right thing to do.

  14. Socialism’s natural end result.
    “many mothers are now resorting to donkey and goat milk,”.
    …
    “Venezuela: Mothers Turn to Donkey Milk as Four Children per Week Starve to Death”
    “At least four children are dying every week of starvation in the socialist dictatorship of Venezuela, newspaper outlet El Nacional has reported.”
    “Amid the crisis, infant formula is no longer available to most children, while starved mothers fail to produce the required nutrients for natural feeding and have therefore turned to dangerous alternatives.
    According to Gretnita Maestre, the president of civil association Mothers and Fathers for Children in Venezuela, many mothers are now resorting to donkey and goat milk,…”

  15. The Liberals are in over their heads on this one. Trudeau can’t bring himself to call them illegals so he calls them “Irregulars”!
    Ralph Goodale is a disgrace, he’s making one colossal mess acting as front man for this quagmire….following a leader who is being fed from behind the curtain. When Trudeau speaks off the top of his head/unscripted we have all the proof we need he has no clue.
    We need to be concerned about this and the fact that Socialist creep has come into full force in our schools from Kindergarten to the halls of higher learning. They want to wipe out our history.
    Bringing in people with whom we have no history will have little chance of knowing anything about our history, those who built this country. We will be all things to all people and stand for nothing.
    Time to wake up…it may already too late. Time to quit carping on about Trump, we have more serious problems here in Canada.

  17. From Global News:
    “Normally, “irregular” arrivals who cross the border illegally first go through a security check and then go through a second screening to determine whether they are eligible to make a refugee claim. These two checks are usually done within a matter of hours or days.
    But according to Denise Otis, a protection officer with the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Montreal, the eligibility interviews are taking months to arrange. “The situation right now is for people unless you are very vulnerable, at this moment we are the 21st of August, you will have your eligibility interview in January.”
    The link here:

  18. Let’s not call them asylum seekers, let’s respect our Prime Minister’s description, they are “Irregulars”. He should very soon be defining that term and telling us exactly what that determination means and what they plan to do with them. He and his chief brown nose, Ralphie G, should be able to cobble up some cockamamie discombobulated plan AFTER they have all been welcomed and scattered across the country. Good luck having them all accounted for by the time January rolls around. Gonna be one giant mess. Watch for it.

  19. Words out that there is a rally planned 0lthis Saturday by a group opposed to Islamization in London Ontario.
    Naturally the pile on has begun with the mayor and a gaggle of provincial and federal politicians jumping on board stating their intentions march in a counter protest against what they identified as “racist”.
    Now this begs the question,
    What race is Islam?
    FYI
    ANTIFA has indicated they will also be in attendance.
    Now what can possibly go wrong?

  21. AGW RIP.
    AGW’s altleft Inquisition strikes again.
    …-
    “After publishing new book critical of Al Gore, climate scientist has website shut down by attacks”
    “As reported on WUWT on Tuesday, New book from Dr. Roy Spencer on Al Gore’s fallacies: An Inconvenient Deception – How Al Gore Distorts Climate Science and Energy Policy – Al Gore has provided a target-rich environment of deceptions in his new movie.
    Now, Dr. Spencer reports his website drroyspencer.com has become inoperable due to attacks:”.

  23. I think Australia’s been doing this for a few years and possibly some western European countries as well.

  25. Eventually all progressives belly up to the statist trough. Having no business experience, acumen or interest, this is the only way they can get rich.
    “Mike Duffy sues Senate, government for almost $8-million.”
    Mr. ‎Duffy is arguing that the Senate and unnamed senators “acted unconstitutionally” as it suspended him without pay, and that the RCMP mishandled its investigation into his expenses because he was a “more high-profile target” than former top Conservative official Nigel Wright.”
    https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/mike-duffy-sues-government-senate/article36078625/
    Perfect progressospeak: anyone using their own money for anything is obviously evil; it’s always better to pillage the taxpayer. Just ask Peter Mansbridge.
    It seems taxpayers once again are underwriting the lies based election of the Trudeau government. The total Senate “scandal” was at most one-third of what the NDP misappropriated with their “satellite offices,” and one fourtieth of what the Chretien Grits ripped off taxpayers in the Sponsorship Scandal.
    Oh right, taxpayers had to pay for that as well. Way to go 905 belt and their obliviousness combined with believing the mendacity of the mediocracy.

  27. Nazis, Nazis Everywhere
    Being called a Nazi is nothing new to me. Having been born in Germany, I grew up being called one.
    Even when I was an adult, I’m sure there were people who were absolutely convinced that the first thing I did in the morning after getting out of bed was to salute a portrait of Adolph.
    It doesn’t bother me any more. I simply shrug my shoulders and carry on while thinking to myself that anybody who has such an opinion of me is the one with a problem, not me.
    Sticks and stones, etc., etc.

  28. The liberal sickness continues.
    The International Olympic Committee (IOC) confirmed that it would allow transgender athletes to compete in whatever category they wish to participate in during the 2018 Winter Olympics, a report says.
    http://www.breitbart.com/sports/2017/08/24/olympics-will-allow-transgender-competitors-2018-winter-games/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=daily&utm_content=image-category&utm_campaign=20170824
    From the comments. “Just another reason not to watch. Liberals are destroying everything that used to be fun.
    Plus, none of this makes sense. Women athletes can’t abuse testosterone to become stronger but they have to compete with biological males. I feel like I’m living in the twilight zone.”

  29. PET POT Cemetery Report.
    Liberal Justine’s Mr. Polly Parrot:
    “*No no he’s not dead, he’s, he’s restin’!”
    “Earlier this summer officials had warned that the impasse over cheese could delay the implementation of the entire CETA deal, which has already experienced a painfully long birth.”

    “Cheesed off! EU faces trade battle with Canada after farmers left RAGING by CETA stitch-up

  31. I believe that Duffy was used as a whipping boy against Harper. His abuse of expenses was always murky — a media concocted abuse motivated by vindictiveness. Now it’s payback time. Why shouldn’t Duffy get 8 million if Omar Khadr, a confessed terrorist who murdered someone gets even more! I would really like to know who paid Duffy’s lawyer to spin out that case during the election. Would not surprise me if it was some group like LeadNow.

  32. Did the puffster steal the dough? Of course he did. So did pamela waloon. Once the real thieves (libranos) were back in power all was forgotten. It’ll be made right with a big payout.
    A minor inconvenience for puffy once the cheque is written.

  33. Duffy did not steal anything. He claimed reimbursement for a second house — just like mist other Senators. Personally, I don’t think any of them should get living expenses, but Duffy should have been treated the same as the others. He was not.

  34. There was plenty of evidence that that the puffster was a rare visitor to his ‘home’ in PEI. By every reasonable test his expenses failed the smell test. The Senate rules were so vague and undefined he escaped conviction.
    No sympathy from me for a thief who feeds at the public trough lm

  35. Yes Senate rules were lax, and if Duffy’s claims were inappropriate, the Senate finance people should have caught the problem. I am not excusing him morally, but (on a smaller scale) it is the same sort of thing that people do when they collect travel per diems . . . they have not spent the total amount, but decide they are nevertheless entitled to the max. No one is holding Duffy up as a paragon of moral behaviour, but he is no worse than many other Senators. As Blatchford says in her National Post column today, he may have a case. I believe that Lawrence Greenspon is his lawyer for this, so he may in fact have a successful case.

  36. I think we agree.
    I don’t doubt for a minute that his case will succeed. When you look at the specious suits that have been successful his at least has some merit. It appears to be malicious prosecution.
