Wynneing!

Or Wynnescam?

Wynne was reduced to insisting “I’m not tone deaf” Monday as more revelations about self-serving relations between her government and the unions continued to spill out. “We have to remember that for years and years there were 72 school boards making these decisions,” in place of the centralized process put in place by her Liberals, she said. The fact the new process has proven slower, clunkier and far more expensive than anyone expected is just something voters are supposed to swallow. Unfortunately for Wynne, the size of the meal keeps growing: from $2.5 million paid to three unions when the news broke a week ago, the figure quickly grew to $3.7 million, and on Tuesday was reported to be as high as $7.1 million.
[…] According to one calculation, teachers and affiliated unions have spent $6.5 million supporting the Liberals in the past three elections, on top of direct donations to the party approaching $1 million. In return the Liberal governments of Wynne and predecessor Dalton McGuinty have rewarded union members with rich increases in benefits and salaries. Though McGuinty eventually came into conflict with union bosses as he tried to reduce Ontario’s swollen deficit, Wynne quickly mended relations by granting public school teachers $468 million in concessions in advance of the 2014 election. The unions repaid the favour with a fierce advertising campaign against Tory leader Tim Hudak.

Now Is The Time At SDA When We Juxtapose!

Apologies to all SDA readers for this posting being prematurely published. Personal events got in the way of it being properly completed. Those issues are now resolved and here is the full posting, as intended.
2011: Stephen Harper’s Tories win majority government with 39.62% of popular vote
The reaction to this victory was a resounding refrain that 60% of Canadians don’t support Harper and what an unfair & undemocratic process the current Canadian voting system is:

2015: Justin Trudeau’s Liberals win majority government with 39.47% of popular vote – The reaction to this victory “mysteriously” was absent of the fact that 60% of Canadians didn’t vote for Trudeau and the Liberals:

It is quite astounding how the so-called principles and convictions of some people change depending on which team loses.
Now that the bogeyman of Stephen Harper is gone, Rex Murphy asks some important questions about who the Left in Canada will now focus their barbs of hate on. While Leftists across the nation insist that they don’t want “American style” politics in Canada, the rampant HDS evidence of the past 9 years strongly suggests that they LOVE, and even NEED, a figurehead to hate upon. Here’s what Murphy had to say:

Speaking of Mr. Harper — now that he is, effectively, no longer prime minister, who or what shall fill the void? He was the lightning rod of our every discontent. He was a monster bent on destroying our democracy, a fascist who worked on a secret agenda for a full nine years in office and of which even now, with his leaving office, we remain still in darkness, innocent of its terrors. For you see it was far more important to keep it secret than to execute it.
He was, variously Machiavelli, Mussolini, Mao and Hitler. Harper Canada’s image in the forums of the world, and purged all our “Canadian values” here at home. He was the Sauron of Mount Doom-on-the-Rideau waving his terrible arms from the towers of fear and hate. He was tepid on global warming and down on selfies. He liked hockey.
Well, who can fill that vital role? Who can be the magnet of our great discontent now that he is going and soon to be gone? Can we abide a country that is now all sunshine and butterflies, all summer holidays and hootenanys? I predict a Canada invective-deprived, all honey and harmony. Post-Harper, all is calm, all is bright. Can we live with that? Can Twitter survive? Will Raffi hang up the mandolin?

A Glimpse Behind the Curtain of the #HateHarper SJWs

A tour around the Internet today uncovered some interesting finds:

Both are “interesting” reads on their own, if only to see how deranged some Leftist Canadians have become, being out of national power for so long.
While the views of the Red Star are well known to all SDA regulars, those of the National Observer are likely not. A quick search revealed that the editor is one Linda Solomon Wood, who turns out to be the sister of Joel Solomon, the “brains” behind Vancouver’s repugnant mayor, Gregor “Aren’t I fabulous” Robertson. Both Solomon siblings are Americans who transplanted themselves to Canada to inject their version of “progressive” politics into our country. One wonders how many Canadians realize how deeply they’re being manipulated by these foreign propagandists?

What he said.
