Yep, an aggressive question about finance from a citizen is immediately labelled as ‘racist’.
And yet Trudeau “fears a rise in extreme populism and a polarization in the political discourse”. Well, you get what you begat.

While the police looked on, fascists targeted journalists in Toronto.
That only took almost two weeks of public pressure.

CFL Picks, Week 8
Thursday, 17:00 CST: Ottawa at Toronto. Franklin is out, McLeod Bethel-Thompson is in. New QB, new system, same old Argos. RedBlacks by 10.
Thursday, 20:00 CST: Riders at Eskimos. Collaros is back. Carter is playing on the offense. Close game but no one beats Reilly for forth quarter come backs. Edmonton by 3.
Friday, 17:30 CST: Hamilton at Montreal. Story line game of the week. Hamilton trades Manziel to Montreal and now he starts against Hamilton. Montreal has made a few good moves in the last couple of weeks so we’ll see how it goes. Hamilton though is solid across the board. Hamilton takes it by 5.
Saturday, 19:00 CST: BC at Calgary. As per normal, pick Calgary by 15 until they lose or it’s late October.
CFL Picks Week 7
Thursday, 17:30 CST: Edmonton at Montreal. No, Manziel won’t start against Edmonton. The Als D did pretty good last week, but the offense just wasn’t clicking. I don’t expect that to change, but I do expect a closer game than many may think. Edmonton by 7.
Friday, 18:30 CST: Toronto at Winnipeg. Toronto really underplayed last week against Winnipeg. Neither the D nor O could stop or do anything. Franklin had better start picking it up or he’ll be on the short-list as the next perennial backup QB. Too much has been invested in him and he’s had a lot of time to grow into the job. Winnipeg by 5.
Saturday, 14:00 CST: Ottawa at Hamilton. Now then, the Manziel controversy has been settled. Thankfully. Massoli has to play better than he did against Saskatchewan…fortunately he’s playing a team that he could do that against. Ottawa is having a hard time gelling this year, one week they play like crap, then last week they eek out a win against BC with a solid 2nd half. Hamilton has to rise up if they’re going to beat Ottawa but, they are at home. Hamilton by 3.
Saturday, 19:00 CST: Calgary at Sask. I want to pick Saskatchewan…I really do. Calgary by 15.
Enjoy the games.
Real Refugees.
Good job Trump and Trudeau for requesting this mission of Israel and to Canada for authorizing the relocation of 50 of the White Helmets plus their families to Canada.

That’ll work.
The Silicon Valley electric-car company said it is asking its suppliers for cash back to help it become profitable, according to a memo reviewed by The Wall Street Journal that was sent to a supplier last week. Tesla requested the supplier return what it calls a meaningful amount of money of its payments since 2016, according to the memo.
The auto maker’s memo, sent by a global supply manager, described the request as essential to Tesla’s continued operation and characterized it as an investment in the car company to continue the long-term growth between both players.
God bless wheat.
Gluten is wonderful, thank you. Eat more bread.
Surprising no one.

Thumbs up.

All the villages in all the world are looking for their idiots.
Robert Lighthizer, the U.S. Trade Representative, is known to be angry at Canada for failing to present creative proposals, not backing him on pushing for higher wages in Mexico and broadly challenging the States at the World Trade Organization, the Johns Hopkins professor said.
This from the fools that started NAFTA talks with a social justice warrior plank. The mind boggles. How does one advocate for workers rights, biological equality in the US and take a hard pass on “a living wage” in Mexico?

Martha Hall Findlay on the supply managed dairy sector.
On the other hand, the dairy lobby is one of Canada’s richest and most powerful. It spends more than $100 million every year on lobbying and marketing — aimed at politicians, the public, trade negotiators, and, most frustratingly, farmers. The myths they tell have their own farmers scared, the public inured to exorbitant dairy prices, and politicians completely cowed.
Well…of course, and Harper is correct again.
Trudeau starts a trade war for political points. We’re the casualties
Solomon writes a lot of self-evident truths here that will make a lot of people in Canada clench teeth and turn red…not the least the CNN and NYT copy-readers working in Canadian media.
Canadians who think Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is standing up for Canadians against U.S. President Donald Trump over dairy tariffs have it wrong. Trudeau is standing up for Quebec against the Rest of Canada. It is Trump who is standing up for Canadians.
Heh
I voted for Max.
And not the Dairy Cartel. Read the whole thread.
Chimo: Thank you. Yes I am a politician but I am trying to do politics differently. Don’t believe in vote-buying politics that led to today’s big government.

The Duck Boat update
CFL Picks Week 6
Apologies for missing last week, I went 2/3…which is better than normal so caveat emptor.
Thursday, 17:30 CST – Riders at TiCats. Riders haven’t played well and apparently aren’t practicing well either. Hamilton on the other hand is a team on the rise with a QB trying to set the record for consecutive games with 300yds passing. Pick TiCats by 10…and yes the record will be broken.
Friday, 17:30 CST – BC at Ottawa. Travis Lulay single-handily changed the Lions season last week, on the other side of the field, I’ve never been sold on Harris and his receivers are dropping balls left, right, short and deep. Pick BC by 5.
Saturday, 14:00 CST – Winnipeg at Toronto. Matt Nichols looks pretty good,
Saturday, 19:00 CST – Montreal at Calgary. Will Bo Levi Mitchell start? I’m not sure that it matters. Until they lose 2 in a row or it’s late October/November just pick Calgary by 15, it’s easier that way.
About time.
City of Regina, take note.
