  1. Portland. If the left has their way every city in the US and Canada will be Portland. And we know who is funding this anarchy.

      1. precisely o w g, if, IF it is ‘revenuuuu neutered, er, neutral’, why WHY impose it in the first place?
        because politishuns politrick.

        1. Apart for revenue generation taxes can be used to induce behavior. In theory, when proceeds from the tax on those who behave in an undesirable way go to the pockets of those who behave in a desirable way, the tax can be revenue neutral. Of course that is how the libranos wanted to sell cap and trade. In practice this was just another money grab.

          P.S. Could you please stop pretending to have an ability to think critically and to form opinions? Seeing you struggle is cringe inducing.

  2. “We, the Liberal Party of Canada in caucus, assure Canadian voters that our proposed carbon tax will be REVENUE-NEUTRAL! – Or anything else we have to say to get it to pass without sparking a massive voter revolt; we really NEEEED the money guys…”

    – What was it that what’s-his-face said about Obamacare? “The stupidity of the American voter was REALLY important in getting this passed!”

    1. “In terms of risk rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in, you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical to get for the thing to pass. Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.” — Jonathan Gruber

  3. BREAKING NEWS!! Pro-Liberal Heather Hiscox, on the CBC News morning show, just announced that Ralph Goodale and Bill Blair will be holding a new conference at 9:15 am this morning! Wow!! We’ll all be watching!!

  4. In all honesty can someone tell me why the state,city,district would put with what is happening in Portland?

    1. Because the elected officials there honestly believe that violence is never the answer, and so they don’t know what to do when they yell at the children “Go to your room!” and the children yell back “NO!”.

  5. Great to know that some Islamic governments are more liberal than the Taliban and actually promote listening to music.

    Salah Muhammad al-Tubaigy, who has been identified as the head of forensic evidence in the Saudi general security department, was one of the 15-member squad who arrived in Ankara earlier that day on a private jet.
    Tubaigy began to cut Khashoggi’s body up on a table in the study while he was still alive, ….
    “When I do this job, I listen to music. You should do [that] too,” Tubaigy was recorded as saying.

    Does Hillary listen to music when she orders a hit?

  6. Portland is being destroyed by the leftist. The ones who pull the strings on the left saw how well the radical movement of the day, the hippies,worked in radicalizing San Francisco in the 1960s and they are continuing that model now with every big city, and using whatever means is best suited to the particular city. So far, Occupy, ”Antifa”, and black lives matter have been the three biggies in their latter day campaign of destruction. Wonder who is financing it?

  7. Come and enjoy Portland’s multicultural, global village, with a plentiful side of social justice.

  8. Arrrugh – haven’t you had enough of those vacuous ‘royals’? Somebody named Eugene who’s 39th in line for the throne gets married and the kanadian press is all over it. Wall to wall.

    Then prince hank’s previously enjoyed trailer park wife announces she’s pregnant and….. well, it’s none stop.

    Canadian’s are as vacuous as the ‘royals’ for falling for this crap. Tell ’em to get a job!

    Now, to the important work of picking out the bicycles and bridges

    1. the current MSM is the new supermkt tabloid.
      a process now in its 50th year.
      Harry is actually a decent bloke I think, google ‘Invictus’.
      dont blame the royals for all the press coverage, Charlie spoke under his breath to the princes about the msm’s intrusiveness.

  9. U.S. Treasury employee has been charged with leaking financial information on the Trump team (flash drive in hand.)

    “The top Treasury Department employee who was charged Wednesday with leaking confidential financial documents pertaining to former Trump officials was apprehended the previous evening with a flash drive containing the allegedly pilfered information in her hand, prosecutors said in court papers.

    The dramatic arrest late Tuesday came on the heels of other high-profile, leak-related prosecutions under the Trump administration, which has pledged to go on the offensive against leakers that the president has called ‘traitors and cowards.’ ”

  10. My alma mater, the University of Alberta, besmirches its reputation yet again. And here I thought the flap about Dr. Fruit Fly’s honorary degree was bad enough:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V6lEZR6AeQ

    The other day, after several years, the alumni office called me, the objective being to beg for money. I hung up. Why should I donate to an institution that supports that kind of nonsense?

  11. The CO2 deception

    The program to create and push the deception that human CO2 was causing global warming was primarily the brainchild and successful because of Canadian Maurice Strong. He applied it in complete form when, in 1992 he became Chairman of Ontario Hydro, the government agency that controlled all energy production in the Province. It destroyed the economy of Ontario taking it from the best performer of all Canadian provinces to one of the poorest.
