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.

…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.

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.
Wynneing!
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.

Where did the money go?
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.
Racists, Haters
Nenshi, feeling the heat, drops the race card on the same citizens that voted for him twice, the last time with 74%.
So it’s obviously racism as opposed to performance and property taxes….

Energy, Deceased
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.
So in touch….
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.
I don’t think that means what you think it does.
Must be one of those newly defined words the kids are using on Instagram. Immigration Minister denies that Canada was unprepared for surge of asylum seekers
Umm, you’re keeping them in Montreal’s Olympic Stadium. You had to bring in the military to create impromptu processing stations. You have the RCMP helping them carry their bags. You’re now sending envoys to Little Haiti to explain that, Liberal seats in Quebec are being put at risk and to try crossing in Manitoba.
“Prepared” is not a word I’d use.

“They have to watch putting themselves in a trap where they’re portrayed as intolerant and out of touch or getting a little bit too aggressive and saying something that is going to hurt the Conservative brand,” said Conservative political insider Tim Powers, vice chairman of Summa Strategies in an interview with The Hill Times.
