    let’s ask someone who isn’t fighting for their political life…
    “Dan Kelly, head of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business,
    says the Wynne Liberals were repeatedly warned that increasing
    the minimum wage would hurt workers
    , but went ahead with the
    move anyway for purely political reasons.”

    Two days before Christmas, when most politicians and their staffers had long left their offices for the holiday break, the finance department released — without fanfare or wide notice — a surprising update on long-term economic and fiscal projections.
    The report warns that lower than expected growth combined with higher program spending “would be sufficient to put at risk the fiscal sustainability of the federal government.”

  4. It was minus 41 (with wind chill, minus 24 without) last night on the north shore of Lake Ontario. I have never experience weather like that here in all my life. Just imagine how bad it would be without the global warming to keep it balmy. Usually minus 10 would be considered cold around here.

  5. I love what he has done here with the lightning but if you read how he did it the visual affect is a bit mis-leading. His camera records any and all lightning into its memory and then can impose it onto the background.
    Lightning appears in his settings where lightning does not appear in nature.
    For example, in nature when you see a veil of rain against the sun after a storm has passed the lightning is long gone.
    In some of these shots what you are actually seeing is the lightning stored in the camera’s memory.

  6. Who could have guessed that letting thousands of young single males without family into your country would cause problems? How long before unMe tells us these figures are made up?
    Germany: Migrants ‘may have fuelled violent crime rise’
    Migrants may be responsible for most of a recent rise in violent crime in Germany, research commissioned by the government suggests.
    The study used data from Lower Saxony, a state where more than 90% of the rise was attributed to young male migrants.
    The researchers say the findings are not surprising because many migrants who arrived in Germany in recent years are single males aged 14-30.
    This group is most likely to commit crime, irrespective of nationality.
    The researchers also said that migrants were twice as likely to be reported to police for alleged violent crimes as German nationals.

  7. Sen. Lynn Beyak, who famously declared “some good” came out of Canada’s residential schools, was removed from the Conservative Party caucus after refusing to remove a “racist” comment from her website, Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer said Thursday .
    http://nationalpost.com/news/politics/sen-lynn-beyak-removed-from-tory-caucus-over-racist-post-on-website-scheer
    The truth is not acceptable these days. Even the Conservatives support the lies.

  8. Bullsh. They have at least an estimate of the minimum cost, it’s just too high to admit before committing to the project. They have to get entangled first and hope no one gets interested in keeping track of it and watching the spending.

  9. Islam is illegal in the UK.
    Instructing “Radicalisation”:
    Michael Copeland’s latest essay discusses the fact that all basic Koranic instruction violates existing laws in the UK against “radicalization.”
    In the piece, 16 instructions are listed ::
    “These are the instructions given in mosques. All are from the Koran and the Manual of Islamic Law.”
    http://gatesofvienna.net/2018/01/instructing-radicalisation/
    Commenter Rizwan often tells us that the problem is Wahabism.
    That of course is a feint. The problem is Islam. Full stop.

  10. “Iran May Be On the Verge of Civilizational Death
    Not democratic transformation.”
    “The Norm Is NOT Democracy — the Norm Is Extinction”
    “Before we wax too eloquent about the democratic aspirations of the great Iranian people, we should keep in the mind that the most probable scenario for Iran under any likely regime is a sickening spiral into poverty and depopulation.
    Iran has the fastest-aging population of any country in the world, indeed, the fast-aging population of any country in history. It has the highest rate of venereal disease infection and the highest rate of infertility of any country in the world. It has a youth unemployment rate of 35% (adjusted for warehousing young people in state-run diploma mills). And worst of all, it has run out of water.
    We might be observing the birth of Iranian democracy in the protests of the past few weeks, but it is more likely that we are watching the slow-motion train wreck of a once-great nation in all its gory detail.”

  12. It sounds as though Bayek was removed for refusing to remove a letter that contained a particular slur — and not because of her general stance on the issue. That puts a different complexion on things. I personally think her stand is totally honest and needs to be broadly understood. Failing to remove a letter with a stereotyping slur is another matter.

  13. “Gore: ‘Bitter cold’ is ‘exactly what we should expect from the climate crisis’”
    Gore is an idiot, and so is anyone who still buys his garbage. I think it is time to get rid of the foolish Carbon tax. Voters need to take a stand. Libs will back off if enough people get really mad.

    “What’s behind the Conservative push for Justin Trudeau to face ethics committee on Aga Khan trip?”
    “Two weeks after a damning report by the ethics commissioner found Prime Minister Justin Trudeau broke federal ethics rules when he took a 2016 trip to the Aga Khan’s private island, Conservatives want to hold a special ethics committee meeting to find out more about who else was on the island with him and whether he will pay back Canadians for the trip.
    Conservative ethics critic Peter Kent sent a letter Friday to the chair of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics requesting “an extraordinary meeting” of the committee next week to consider a motion to invite Trudeau to answer questions about the report on Jan. 17 or 18.”
    “Given the chair of that committee is Conservative MP Bob Zimmer, it is virtually certain the meeting will be granted.
    However, whether the committee actually votes to support the motion is an entirely different matter.”

    “President Trump’s Poll Numbers Boom with the Economy”
    “While our elitist media continues its relentless and unprecedented attacks against Trump — obsessing over castle intrigue, the Russian collusion conspiracy theories, and chaos narratives, the American people are seeing something completely different in the actual, proof-positive results coming out of the Trump administration…
    A booming economy, ISIS pretty much destroyed without us having to add a single boot on the ground (that we know of), regulations slashed, energy production and exploration booming, superb judges in record numbers confirmed, a stock market zooming to highs that seemed impossible only a year ago. Black, Hispanic, and overall unemployment sit at record or near-record lows. And so much more…
    Trump is not only getting things done, as the indisputable results show, he getting these big things done efficiently and competently.
    And in the end, this is all the voters care about or should care about.”

    https://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/news/2018/01/05/scott-wiener-housing-bill-transit-development.html
    This is a case of leftists -vs- leftists. Leftist centralized (State) control over leftist local (City) control. Our city’s downtown Planning Documents (all areas within 1/2 mile of the BART station) mandate a 35ft ht. limit … and any project with more than 3-stories is virtually DOA. Those local Planning regulations have made it economically infeasible to develop any housing project in our downtown (walking distance to BART). So the leftists whine about the cost and scarcity of housing … yet place every obstacle possible in the path of building more housing.
    It’s the drawbridge theory of … I’ve got MINE … now shoo! Beat it! Get outta my town!

  19. Translation from that article:
    Trudeau had to know all that. But it did not seem to worry him.
    He looks like a fool now. And why, in fact, have invited this guy into his office? This habit of appearing does not encourage him to be prudent.
    This Boyle, which the Americans were the first to find in Pakistan, wanted to take a commercial flight to Canada rather than take the chance to follow its first liberators … The Americans would have questions to ask this strange hostage.
    This story is in addition to others. The whims of a former theater teacher who plays it grandiose, Gandhi with selfies, walkabouts and excuses of all kinds … He then discusses the fate of the world at the table of the rich.
    It is said that Trump is unbalanced. But does not Saint-Justin-du-Selfie show a deficient judgment?
    He disguises himself as a Burmese king or a prince of Bengal, plays the flag and the carpet, rolls his sleeves and goes deep into the dye to stretch his pretended youth …
    He would come naked if he was to fall in love with the pygmies of the Amazon …
    We have the impression that Canada is becoming a monarchy. And that Nero is not the most brilliant of the canton.

    This excuse clearly displays the stupidity of this PM, but it does not explain or excuse the arrogance that goes along with this stupidity. In my view, based on Justin Trudeau’s performance two years into his mandate, his makeup is crystal clear: 50-per-cent stupid and 50-per-cent arrogant.”

  21. You just fail to see the genius of the scam. They have the fools believing that if it’s hot it’s because of industrial society and if it’s cold it’s because of industrial society. So basically there is no way to declare the crisis over. It’s the perfect leftist crisis to maintain power. The only solution is to de-industrialize, adopt full communism or kill yourself. That’s why I respond “you first comrade”
