In Hamilton, Ontario there is an evolving case of Radical Leftists squelching the free speech of others under the guise of “fighting hate”. The feigned righteousness of these folks is truly bewildering.
Interesting Question for Albertans
Former principal secretary to the woman who destroyed Alberta’s economy asks an interesting question. We already know how the MSM and government employees will answer it but what about regular Albertans?

Anti-trade extremists.
Trade is the life-blood of any nation, state, town or shopkeeper. Being against free and fair trade is anathema to a healthy economy. That damned freak with the hair did it again, sabotaging opportunities for markets.
What? Oh. Well, who do you think I’m talking about?
Ironic that one of the reasons being shopped around is because of Quebec politics, cough, Bombardier.

I’m a little torn about this story.
While conducting a welfare check, police found Macke’s four children – two 12-year-olds, a 6-year-old and a 7-year-old — alone.
Police discovered that Macke left the U.S. a day earlier and wasn’t set to return until Oct. 1, the Register reported. She did not arrange any supervision for the children, authorities said.
On one hand I firmly believe that two twelve-year old kids should be more than capable of taking care of themselves and two younger children for a week.
On the other hand is the qualification in the previous sentence, should be.
On the gripping hand is the unstated question…how in the heck did a welfare case with four children get the money to go to Europe for a week?

Okay, that wire tapping thing.
From Kate and via Instapundit:
Obama v. Trump: Strictly Correct & Misleading v. Not Strictly Correct But Fundamentally True
Personally, I’m holding my cards close on this one.
Umm, Okay.
“The award, created in 1989, is given to a public official or group of public servants from any level of government each year “whose actions demonstrate the qualities of politically courageous leadership in the spirit of ‘Profiles in Courage,'”
Sure, if causing the Democratic Party to get destroyed at every elected level is courageous, and then to have President Trump and the Congress roll-back every single plank of your supposed legacy qualifies as ‘courage’.
At least the Americans waited until he’d done something to give him an award, unlike the Norwegians.
The Easy Targets
So, how did The Washington Post headline the appointment? “Trump picks former Georgia governor Sonny Perdue, who once led a prayer for rain, for agriculture secretary.”
Yes, that was their actual headline.

2016 Election Prediction — Results
While there are votes still(?) being counted, apparently, it looks pretty safe to declare a winner.
The first — and only — person to correctly predict the result was…

Trump 306

Why?
I don’t understand the reasoning for this. 25% of “qualified labour expenditure” (whatever that means) seems a little profligate.
The decision is likely to resonate the most in Joly’s province of Quebec, and her hometown of Montreal, where the tax credit could benefit several popular French-language talk shows produced by independent production companies.
Oh, nevermind. Spending money in Quebec is reason enough for the Liberals.

Social License.
They’re not doing their part, or so we’ve been told.
So just how much money has flowed out of Alberta to Ottawa? A lot. Between 2000 and 2014, on a net basis, Alberta’s individual and corporate taxpayers shipped an estimated $200 billion-plus to the federal government. That’s what left the province, less what the feds reinvested here.
It’s Probably Nothing
