    “National GDP unexpectedly shrinks in August
    In what came as a shock to observers and authorities alike, the nation’s gross domestic product contracted in August after a flat reading in July, Statistics Canada reported earlier this week.
    The latest disappointment is another sign that the process of cooling is well underway from the blistering pace of growth in the 12 months through June, according to fiscal sector players.”

  10. Give something an Orwellian name like Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, put Ralph Goodale in charge, and what do you think might happen? Hint: It’s not your safety that they are concerned about.
    PoCo mosque to get $53k from federal government in spite of Revenue Canada concerns

    The Port Coquitlam mosque that was recently cited for financial irregularities — and possible ties to overseas funders linked to militant Islamist group Hamas — is expected to receive a $53,000 grant from the federal government this week.

    The funds are part of a program launched by the Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness designed to improve security for communities at risk of hate-motivated crimes. According to a ministry spokesperson, the money will be used to purchase and install CCTV cameras and an alarm system at the Masjid Alhidayah and Islamic Cultural Centre on Kingsway Avenue.

    Never mind the financial irregularitites which drew a fine from CRA, the sexual assault conviction of the former director, or the ties to Hamas.

    The Islamic Society of BC told auditors that it only had limited ties to the Eid Foundation but the CRA noted both entities shared directors. As well, an employment contract for the hiring of one-time PoCo imam Ayman El Najjer was negotiated with funds from the Eid Foundation and was written on foundation letterhead.

    And in a wonderful display of newspeak:

    “Our government takes allegations of links to organizations that support terrorism very seriously,” Bardsley said in an email. “The resources of a charity should not be directed by a terrorist entity. If the Canada Revenue Agency finds that an organization is involved in activities that contravene the act, it responds accordingly.”

    Former President Barack Obama acknowledged that Breitbart News changed the media narrative during the 2016 election.
    “You know … Bannon and Breitbart did something pretty interesting. Now, they didn’t create a whole new platform but they did shift the entire media narrative in a different direction — in a powerful direction,” Obama said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.” (bbart)

    “EVs From Tesla and GM May Start Losing Their Tax Credits”
    “Electric cars have been a tough sell in the U.S. The loss of the $7,500 perk could make them even harder for automakers to pitch.”
    “To understand what could happen to electric car sales if Republicans phase out federal EV incentives, look at what happened in Georgia. Electric car sales there were growing briskly until the state cut its $5,000 electric vehicle tax credit in June 2015. Sales crashed from as many as 1,400 electric cars a month statewide to fewer than 100 the month after the incentive was axed.”

    In this wonderfully diverse Canada that Ms. Payette now represents, was it her intent to ridicule the religious beliefs of so very many faiths?”
    “Naturally, Ms. Payette opined on climate science, and equally naturally placed inquiry and skepticism on what is proclaimed the consensus of that but emergent discipline as denialism – thereby endorsing the ugliest rhetorical term in this entire, explosive issue, which summons the butchery and cruelty of History’s greatest crime as a spurious backdrop to debate on an unresolved public issue. We have a right to expect better from Her Majesty’s representative.”

  16. The office of Governor General has been in decline ever since Adrienne Clarkson was appointed. She thought she was smarter than everyone else and didn’t hesitate to announce it. It appears, then, that GG Payette is following her example.
    It’s certainly a far cry from when people like Roland Michener and Jules Leger resided at Rideau Hall, conducting themselves with dignity and respect.

  18. Don’t see any coverage in the Canadian media of the stories and photos of two young New Yorkers killed in New York City attack.See CNN or Daily Mail for poignant stories of them and of the Belgian mother who had a two month old baby and a young child, now motherless.
