This Is Awkward

The CEO Paying Everyone $70,000 Salaries Has Something to Hide.

As we talked about his wild six months, I brought up the lawsuit, asking if Price thought Gravity’s spending on the raises triggered his brother’s suit, as he’d implied. “I have no idea,” he slowly shrugged, looking right at me. “The quote in the Seattle Times from his attorney was, ‘It wasn’t only because of that.’ ” He twisted his beard between two fingers, contemplating the statement by Lucas’s attorney, Greg Hollon. “That one singular quote in the paper is the only information I have about if they were connected or not.”
It’s a poignant story, one that I almost wrote. Until I realized Price knew more than he was letting on. The lawsuit couldn’t have been prompted by the pay raise–if anything, it may have been the other way around.

Liberal legalese…

“The agreement will be legally binding and it will have, as part of that, countries will be legally bound to provide targets. The actual target that each country provides will not be legally binding, likely, because that is the difficulty with many countries, including the United States,” she added.
“It’s really important that we have everyone at the table and come up with an agreement.”

Via email — “I came across this by accident scanning the comments section of a youtube
video.”

I have a friend that works at a CFB military base in Manitoba Canada she is a medic and a captain, has served two terms in Afghanistan, is
he young attractive woman, but her job right now is to babysit 1700 Syrian
refugees all of them are young man and show her no respect and show no
appreciation to the country that’s feeding them and housing them. Very few
refugees getting out of Syria are families, women, or children because the
young man can get out easier and they don’t help the others. Nobody knows
how many of these young men are Isis terrorist and our retarded government
thinks that none of them are. The officers and privates that are taking care
of them, hate it, they know better, they have been trained to pick them out
and some the refugees admit they are pro ISIS

Unverified of course, but hmmm.

The Convenient Memory Lapses of a Liberal

Though Charles Adler left his radio gig in Winnipeg to move to Vancouver, he has a new show on satellite radio, from which a podcast is published as well. In the most recent episode he interviews Warren & Lisa Kinsella. Much of the talk was about the Canadian Senate. Mrs. Kinsella has a “unique” perspective starting around 19:00 into the podcast:

“Because Stephen Harper first, of course, stacked the Senate. So we have an imbalance in the Senate. We have Conservatives dominating it.”

Her comment necessitated a quick check of Senate appointments:

Stephen Harper: 59 Tories
Jean Chretien: 72 Liberals + 3 Independents

It’s most interesting that such a prominent Liberal made such a comment, considering that her husband was one of Chretien’s BFF’s during his tenure as PM. Conveniently short memories.

Bombardier;

As Bloomberg reports, Bombardier Inc. will get a Quebec government rescue of as much as $1.3 billion as the struggling planemaker prepares to pump in even more cash into the tardy, over-budget CSeries jetliner.

How quaint. They say “Quebec government rescue” as if Quebec pays its own bills.


Macleans has a sunnier take.
Morning update!

Wynneing!

Or Wynnescam?

Wynne was reduced to insisting “I’m not tone deaf” Monday as more revelations about self-serving relations between her government and the unions continued to spill out. “We have to remember that for years and years there were 72 school boards making these decisions,” in place of the centralized process put in place by her Liberals, she said. The fact the new process has proven slower, clunkier and far more expensive than anyone expected is just something voters are supposed to swallow. Unfortunately for Wynne, the size of the meal keeps growing: from $2.5 million paid to three unions when the news broke a week ago, the figure quickly grew to $3.7 million, and on Tuesday was reported to be as high as $7.1 million.
[…] According to one calculation, teachers and affiliated unions have spent $6.5 million supporting the Liberals in the past three elections, on top of direct donations to the party approaching $1 million. In return the Liberal governments of Wynne and predecessor Dalton McGuinty have rewarded union members with rich increases in benefits and salaries. Though McGuinty eventually came into conflict with union bosses as he tried to reduce Ontario’s swollen deficit, Wynne quickly mended relations by granting public school teachers $468 million in concessions in advance of the 2014 election. The unions repaid the favour with a fierce advertising campaign against Tory leader Tim Hudak.

The Sound of Settled Science

What is the opposite of diversity?

This article reviews the available evidence and finds support for four claims: (1) Academic psychology once had considerable political diversity, but has lost nearly all of it in the last 50 years. (2) This lack of political diversity can undermine the validity of social psychological science via mechanisms such as the embedding of liberal values into research questions and methods, steering researchers away from important but politically unpalatable research topics, and producing conclusions that mischaracterize liberals and conservatives alike. (3) Increased political diversity would improve social psychological science by reducing the impact of bias mechanisms such as confirmation bias, and by empowering dissenting minorities to improve the quality of the majority’s thinking. (4) The underrepresentation of non-liberals in social psychology is most likely due to a combination of self-selection, hostile climate, and discrimination. We close with recommendations for increasing political diversity in social psychology.

Richmond Hill City Council Embarasses All Canadians

Apparently the “enlightened” folks on the City Council of Richmond Hill, Ontario believe that the Canadian Anthem would be offensive to their proceedings. At the risk of offending their delicate sensibilities, here’s a glimpse into what happened late last year at a Canadian War Cemetery in the Netherlands. Apparently Dutch politicians aren’t offended by our anthem like their Richmond Hill colleagues are:

Legalized Pot: Who’s the Biggest Dope?

Sept. 11, 2014 – Liberal leader Justin Trudeau hints at the legalization of marijuana in Canada.
Jan. 1, 2015 – Wannabe Liberal MP candidate, Jodie Emery, discusses the support for her candidacy from Liberal Party insiders.
Apr. 20, 2015 – Jodie Emery’s husband, Marc, reveals his beliefs about children and marijuana:

The marijuana crusader says he has a message for all BC parents.

Emery claims parents should encourage their children to spend more time with “pot people.”

“Nothing bad is going to happen to your son or daughter if they smoke marijuana, unlike if they hang out with people who are into athletics, or into alcohol, or into a number of things, fast cars, I say that pot makes your teenager a lot safer.”

In the 2015 Canadian Federal Election, one wonders how many parents of teenagers are going to stay home and not vote or even actually vote for the Liberals? This, having plenty of facts abound about what damage marijuana can do to a developing brain. But as the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for – you may get it.
