Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Washington Post, Sept.4th … “What we’ve said to our members is that ‘Trump is a liability to the future of the nation,’ and we’ve asked them for support for Club for Growth Action to get that message out,” Club for Growth President David McIntosh said in a statement to The Washington Post.
Club for Growth, June 2nd…

Well, that’s awkward.

Grace Batchoun says she doesn’t have a problem with losing. But she does seem to have a problem with pretty near everything else that happened during last Sunday’s vote to choose a Liberal candidate for the federal riding of Ahuntsic-Cartierville. And that could prove to be a problem for Mélanie Joly and, ultimately, Justin Trudeau.
Yesterday morning, Batchoun, a project manager who was one of three opponents contesting Joly for the nomination, announced that she had filed an appeal of the Sunday’s vote. Her challenge is based on several factors, the most worrisome based on simple arithmetic. On Sunday organizers of the vote announced that 2,065 ballots had been cast, including spoiled votes. But according to Batchoun’s reading of the list of ballots cast that she says was provided to her by a Liberal Party official, only 1780 people actually showed up to vote.

Premier Brad Wall says he wants to know where the leaders of three parties stand on genetically modified organisms.
The term refers to a broad category of agricultural products, including the genetically modified canola that is a mainstay of the Saskatchewan crop.
Wall said Monday GMOs was one of the topics he raised in a letter he sent to Conservative Leader Stephen Harper, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.
The letter also featured questions about equalization payments and pipeline policy.

The official tasked with overseeing the membership of the federal Liberals in British Columbia has resigned after party brass halted a bid for a nomination that he was chairing.
Mike Hillman, who first joined the party in 1968, said he resigned as membership chair of the party’s B.C. arm on Tuesday because barring former two-time Liberal candidate Wendy Yuan from running was contrary to the wishes of the party faithful in the new riding of Steveston-Richmond East.
Over the weekend, Ms. Yuan was disqualified as a nominee, with the party telling reporters “some serious issues prevented” her from being approved as a candidate. Instead, the party announced it would acclaim former Richmond MP Joe Peschisolido at a meeting Tuesday evening.

Ms. Yuan has quit her position as policy chair in the local riding association, along with her spokesman and riding communications chair Sunny Chiu. Five other executive members, including president Peter Xie, also resigned. Mr. Xie and two other members were on vacation and unaware of the unfolding controversy.

The plot thickens!
