Why it’s Stephen Maher, Liberalsplainin!

After an election that turned out badly for them, angry Albertans and Saskatchewanians have been complaining about the transfer of money to other parts of the country.
 
They point out that Albertans foot the bills—paying in $240 billion more than they received in benefits over the last 11 years. It’s too much, they say. Enough is enough. It’s time to reform equalization. Some angry, unrealistic people are even using it as argument to take Alberta and Saskatchewan out of Canada and start a new country.
 
I have been waiting in vain for someone, like the prime minister, for example, to point out that this way of looking at the country—as if it is a piggybank into which some provinces make payments and other provinces make withdrawals—misses the point about what it should mean to be a Canadian.

Well, if equalization doesn’t really exist, as Maher’s tortured argument tries to claim, let’s just kill it.

The possibilities are endless;

The Universities and Colleges Union has set out its stance in a report on the ongoing row about whether men should be able to self-identify as women and be treated as female regardless of their anatomy.
 
The UCU’s ‘position statement’ did not just stand by its support for self-identification of gender, but also insisted people can choose their own race, saying: ‘Our rules commit us to ending all forms of discrimination, bigotry and stereotyping. UCU has a long history of enabling members to self-identify whether that is being black, disabled, LGBT+ or women.’

Faster, please.

Those Moderate Liberals!

Your tax dollars at hate;

B’nai Brith Canada is deeply concerned after learning that a federal grant was used to produce a guide instructing Canadian Muslims on how to vote in last Monday’s national election.
 
The “Canadian Muslim Voting Guide: Federal Election 2019” was released by the Canadian Islamophobia Industry Research Project at Wilfred Laurier University on Oct. 18, just three days before Canadians went to the polls. Its front cover acknowledges support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), a federal agency that assigns research grants.

“It is totally unacceptable that government funds have been used to promote an antisemitic movement in Canada,” said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B’nai Brith Canada.
 
“It is deeply troubling that taxpayer dollars were used to subsidize a document ‘guiding’ Canadians on whom to support in an election.”
 
The Voting Guide also alleges that “Zionist ideologies play a prominent role” in fomenting Islamophobia in Canada (page 6). No evidence is cited for this absurd and dangerous proposition.

Former senior aide to Hillary Clinton and former Clinton Foundation advisor Justin Cooper was one of the organizers of an exclusive New York City fundraiser held for Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party of Canada, True North has learned.
 
According to a source, Cooper was involved in organizing the New York fundraiser for Trudeau’s re-election bid.
 
As Blacklock’s reported on Tuesday, the fundraising event for Liberal expatriates living in New York City was held on October 10 at an unknown address. While all political donations must be publicly disclosed, the deadline for reporting donors to Elections Canada is not until two months after the election.
 
[…]

 
Cooper is the notorious staffer who was responsible for setting up a private email for Clinton during her time as Secretary of State in the Obama Administration, which some say cost her the bid for the presidency. Clinton’s private server was registered to “Justin Cooper.”
 
According to reports at the time, Copper had “no security clearance and no particular expertise in safeguarding computers, according to three people briefed on the server setup.”

Small world.

Blame Something

Blame somebody. Blame anybody, but.

The evacuees staying at the University of Regina residences are under duress and struggling in an unfamiliar environment, said Saskatchewan’s fire safety commissioner Duane McKay after several disturbances and three incidents on the campus that led to criminal charges.
 
About 420 people have arrived in Regina from the Pikangikum First Nation, a fly-in community in northwestern Ontario. It’s still not clear when they will be able to go home.
 
Saskatchewan’s government pledged to accept as many as 2,000 evacuees last week as fire threatened the community. McKay said there has been “a number of incidents” that have occurred since their arrival.
 
Some of the disturbances involved violence and damage to the residences, but McKay said nothing amounted to “large-scale destruction.”
 
“These individuals are coming from a very remote community, they’re in a very strange environment,” he said.

I blame the soft bigotry of low expectations.
