It's Probably Nothing Never Before Uttered There Goes The Narrative 9 Comments

Generally speaking, the leadership cadre of large Canadian businesses tend to carry water for the Liberals no matter what. It’s refreshing to see at least one of them speaking out about the Canadian economy’s appalling lack of productivity.

“The business sector (has) grown productivity about 50 per cent since roughly 2000 (but) the non business sector — this is government and not-for-profit businesses and workers — in those areas … productivity has been absolutely flat, zero growth, not one bit of productivity,” she said at the University of Waterloo’s Tech Horizons conference.

“I find it kind of frustrating because those people were telling us in business that we’re not productive when they’re the ones who are flat like pancakes.”

 

Sharing Is Caring

The Times- Ads are filled with bodily functions for our incontinent culture

The difference is that in previous times the advertisers recognised that while their products might be needed, it was for personal, private reasons which did not need to be shared in public. Attending the lavatory was not something to be ashamed of, but neither was it something we all wished to signal loudly to whoever might be present, as if it were an achievement. Still less having gonads whose scent could stun a stoat at fifty paces, or being unable to keep your wee inside you for five minutes. None of this needed explaining.

National Post- Pierre Poilievre: Memo to corporate Canada – fire your lobbyist. Ignore politicians. Go to the people.

If you want to stop Trudeau’s latest tax hikes, don’t talk to politicians about it, talk to the people. If the tax hike is going to force doctors to leave Canada, the medical associations must ensure every patient knows that. If your factory will have to forgo expansion because Trudeau is taxing investment, assemble all your workers in the hall and tell them that. If his tax on venture capitalists is going to make it impossible for engineering grads to stay in Canada, make sure students (and their parents) in Kitchener-Waterloo know that.

Bret Stephens at the Wall St. Journal:

Hillary and the Liberal Way of Lying
How the Clintons pioneered the methods by which Obama sold his Iran deal…
What the Clintons pioneered–the brazen lie, coyly delivered and knowingly accepted–has become something more than the M.O. of one power couple. It has become the liberal way of lying.
Consider this column’s favorite subject: the Iran deal. An honest president might sell the current deal roughly as follows.
“My fellow Americans, the deal we have negotiated will not, I am afraid, prevent Iran from getting a bomb, should its leaders decide to build one. And eventually they will. Fatwa or no fatwa, everything we know about their nuclear program tells us it is geared toward building a bomb. And frankly, if you lived in a neighborhood like theirs–70 million Shiites surrounded by hundreds of millions of Sunnis–you’d want a bomb, too.
“Yes, we could, in theory, stop Iran from getting the bomb. Sanctions won’t do it. Extreme privation didn’t stop Maoist China or Bhutto’s Pakistan or Kim’s North Korea from building a bomb. It won’t stop Iran, either.
“Airstrikes? They would set Iran back by a few years. But even in a best-case scenario, the Iranians would be back at it before long, and they’d keep trying until they got a bomb or we got regime change.
“Fellow Americans, how many of you want to raise your hands for more Mideast regime change?
“So here’s the deal with my deal: It never was about cutting off Iran’s pathways to a bomb. Let’s just say that was an aspiration. It’s about managing, and maybe slowing, the process by which they get one.
“I know that’s not what you thought I’ve been saying these past few years–all that stuff about all options being on the table and me not bluffing and no deal being better than a bad deal. I said this for political expedience, or as a way of palliating restive Saudis and Israelis. You feed the dogs their bone.
“But if you’d been listening attentively, you would have heard the qualifier ‘on my watch’ added to my promises that Iran would not get the bomb. And what happens after I leave office? Hopefully, the Supreme Leader will be replaced by a new leader cut from better cloth. Hopefully, too, this marathon diplomacy will open new patterns of U.S.-Iranian cooperation. But if neither thing happens we’d be no worse off than we are today.
“That’s why getting a deal, any deal, is more important than the deal’s particulars when it comes to sanctions relief, inspections protocols and so on. The details only matter insofar as they make the political medicine go down. What counts is that we’re sitting at the table together, speaking.”..

At The Gods of the Copybook Headings:

The Cliches Are Coming Down Like Beaver and Moose
Charles Krauthammer tries to be nice to us…But when he has to write a column about Canada this McGill graduate lurches from one Canuck cliche to the next…
…Barack Obama could club to death a baby beaver on the front steps of Parliament Hill and still be regarded as a hero. Long winded editorials in the Toronto Star would hail the President’s decisive efforts to curtail beaver overpopulation, while the CBC would run a segment featuring a recognized beaver expert explaining how the President’s bludgeoning technique was both humane and efficient. Obama worship is just as obnoxious and irrational in Canada as in parts of the United States…
