He’s got us… under his skin.
The lesson to take from this joke being torqued by Infowars and other alt-right nazi friends of the Rebel is they're paying attention. Game on, #TeamTrudeau. https://t.co/frhv4A4kWz

A fundraiser who may have skirted laws for the Liberals.
Only days before he died, Toronto billionaire Barry Sherman was attempting to quash an investigation into a political fundraiser he held for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that allegedly ran afoul of lobbying rules.
Shocking, I tell you, shocking.

A former deputy chief executive of the NZ Qualifications Authority, Bali Haque, says Vachuda has revived a long-standing argument about the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA).
“The issue has always been what we used to call parity of esteem,” he says.
“Our move is already underway,” said Peter Gossmann, vice president and general manager of Plasticap, a producer of caps for food companies, medical firms and other customers.
The company has 40 employees in Richmond Hill and is looking to expand with another 60 employees — only not in Ontario.
MMIWG inquiry staff’s top priority is to protect commissioners from criticism: leaked email
“All staff are here to work to support four people,” said the email, obtained by CBC News from a source inside the inquiry.
“All focus of staff must be to ensure that our commissioners are not exposed to criticism or surprises and that they are fully confident that we have their backs.”

Contrary to many conservative commentators yesterday and today, I’m going to agree with the Globe’s Editorial and say Trudeau punting on the UN is a good move. Making the promise in the first place was stupid, but then, we’ve come to expect that from Mr. Grape Nehi.
One law to rule them,
And in darkness, bind them,
Unless you’re Liberal.
…elevation to the GG office, delight and honour that it undoubtedly is, does not come with a certificate of intellectual authority, or the prerogative to delimit the scope of inquiry and debate on any issue the Commons or the citizenry may wish to engage. It is not at all evident that Ms. Payette is clear on these points.
This sounds like a sensible safety initiative.

Which industry best creates wealth and reduces poverty in Canada? Resources (as usual)
Which is where a caveat should be added to the Statistics Canada commentary that “high resource prices” explain significantly increased incomes. High resource prices — be they for oil, gas, lumber or minerals — help, but only if a province or region allows its resources to be explored, extracted and then shipped to market.
Flush: def. (slang): In hock to your eyeballs. syn.: deficits, ant.: balanced budgets
Without new federal spending, Scotiabank is predicting shortfalls of $17 billion in 2017-18 and $16 billion in 2018-19.
By comparison, Morneau’s budget last March forecasted deficits of $25.5-billion for 2017-18 and $24.4 billion for 2018-19.
In the 1990s and into the 2000s, Ontario was a low-electricity-cost jurisdiction. This was a competitive advantage for the province, helping attract business and foster economic growth. Of course, in recent years, due largely to the Green Energy Act and its inefficiencies, Ontario electricity prices have soared, hurting industrial competitiveness, especially in the manufacturing sector where electricity is a major cost.
The results have been devastating.

Shortlist contestants! COME ON DOWN!
Despite innovation being rather obviously a multi-faceted issue, it seems like the only pillar they want to lean on is this weird mix of research subsidies embedded in the supercluster notion, which increasingly seems to resemble 1970s-style economic policy only with money flowing to tech and life sciences instead of manufacturing and natural resources.
Nenshi, feeling the heat, drops the race card on the same citizens that voted for him twice, the last time with 74%.

Update: Right on cue. Such a coincidence….
A pathetically poor attempt to deflect blame from useless Canadian politicians and agencies has arisen from the typical NDP/Liberal defenders. They are (unbelievably) claiming that it is not politics, but economics which might kill Energy East.
What a joke.
The Liberal government is so “in touch” with Canadians that federal government spending on public opinion research has reached its highest point in nearly a decade.
Also, the feds seem to dislike Nanos (PDF, 27pp), 1 study for $8k. They seem to really like Ekos and Ipsos-Reid, 23 for $2.3M and 12 for $2.2M, respectively.
