All monies from Saskatchewan business, municipalities and people should be run through the Provincial gov’t before being handed over to the Feds. Basically, be Quebec because you’re making empty threats unless you’ve the ability to turn off the money spigot.
Having said that, if Saskatchewan doesn’t want to pay into the federal GST kitty via carbon tax, which we don’t, then we shouldn’t whine if the Feds decide to hold back some contributions from PEI.
Be Danny Williams to this infantile regime, remember the PITA he was for PM Harper?
Ridiculous.
“Charges are being considered against the man.”
Has the whole world gone mad?

Gun Control.
The sheriff’s deputy described the shooting as an abnormal occurrence in the typically quiet Wagoner County. “This is very, very unusual for us. It’s not something we’re used to,” he told Tulsa World. “It’s not something we normally have.”
And now there will be fewer occurrences.

Couldn’t you just double the volume with 750 mL of distilled water?
Seems like a two for one deal to me.

RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson, July 2013: “While I am very proud of the heroic response of our members and employees (many of whom were personally impacted) in helping the community stay safe during this disaster, I am quite concerned by the sharp criticism that has arisen in the media with respect to the gun seizures from evacuated homes”
RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson, February 2017: … referenced the Mounties’ decision to give rifles to more frontline officers as he expressed fears Monday about the increasing militarization of Canadian police forces.
Well, at least he’s consistent.

I Felt A Great Disturbance In The Narrative
Robert Abell, a co-owner of Lotus Gunworks in Jensen Beach, Florida, told ABC News today that a man entered the store five or six weeks ago and asked specific questions about high-end body armor. When employees said the store didn’t carry the body armor he wanted, Abell said, the man made a phone call in a foreign language, hung up and then asked about ammunition in bulk.
He was probably calling NRA head office.

“It’s really none of Ontario’s business…. the answers no – we’ve worked for eight years to develop the Saskatchewan advantage,” Wall told Ottawa Now Host Evan Solomon on 580 CFRA. “I don’t want a level playing field for our province, I want to have this be the best place for companies to maintain jobs and to create new jobs and to invest.”

Newest Shooting Triggers Media Party Playbook
This past evening, in Lafayette, Louisiana, a murderer has reportedly killed at least one person and injured many more.
Media Party journolists [sic] the world over have just opened to Page 1 of their playbook for such circumstances. Here’s the checklist:
- Is the shooter a Muslim? If so, hold off on mentioning his name or religion for the longest amount of time possible.
- If he’s white then dig far and wide to find out even the slightest connection to the GOP, the Tea Party, any other conservative connections, Christianity, and the NRA.
- Find out if any of the victims were non-white. If so, then immediately start using phrases like “Hate Crimes”, “Racism”, and “Black Lives Matter”.
- Retrieve the long list of regular guests who will espouse the usual talking points about gun violence in America.
- Being that Louisiana has a Republican governor, Bobby Jindal, find out his stance on gun control and blame him for the entire event. The fact that Jindal is a presidential candidate provides an added bonus to the media as they can now destroy his campaign as well.
- Mock anyone who points out that the Grand Theatre, where this occurred, is a gun-free zone.

Update: At least two people have been confirmed murdered and the shooter is reported to be a 58 year old white man.

Oh look, another 6400 Lois Lerner emails the IRS ‘found’. Geez, just ask the Chinese already.
Can’t somebody start laying obstruction charges yet? Does this have to be a political game, timed just perfectly? Sickening.
Well. That’s odd.
