Police allege Liberal caucus paid $10k to have McGuinty office computers wiped;

Newly released police documents allege the partner of an aide for Dalton McGuinty was paid $10,000 to wipe personal data from the hard drives of computers in the premier’s office which happened to contain emails related to the two cancelled gas plants.
The allegation was contained in over 130 pages of documents which police used in order to obtain a search warrant for the provincial government’s security branch on Jarvis Street which they searched last month.

Lorrie Goldstein;

Titled “October, 2014, Ontario’s breath-taking, record-breaking month for electricity bills,” Parker and Luft reveal that last month, Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberal government paid $1 billion more for electricity than the market value of that power.
Put another way, the so-called “Global Adjustment” in Ontario – the difference between the market value of electricity and what it actually cost to produce – topped $1 billion, for the first time, ever.
For the average Ontario household, Parker and Luft note, that will mean an extra charge of about $30 on November’s hydro bill alone, although it won’t appear as a separate item on many residential hydro bills because the Global Adjustment is incorporated into “time of use” rates.

Future PM Simplistic?

Rex Murphy is not very impressed with the Shiny Pony’s recent utterances:

It wasn’t a slip of the tongue. (Oh, there’s a phrase he could play with.) It was the signature of an unserious mind, not to mention a mindless hit on the pilots of Canada’s military, to paint them so glibly as extensions of some macho ethos.

We should expect more — both in class and thought — from a national leader, especially when he is speaking in the context of the miseries that have been inflicted by one of the most sadistic collection of terrorists the planet has ever offered. How will they be stopped but by force?

Events do not have a single dimension. The daunting complexity of world affairs, and their intertwisted moral ambiguities, is a hallmark of this new wild world of ours. Straight-line answers are available to none. Dealing with those ambiguities, having the maturity and depth to deal with them, is what we in Canada, and elsewhere in the world, want in our leaders.

This is not the first time that the Liberals’ default despisement of the Canadian military has come to the fore. This past gem from them comes to mind.

Update: This comment from SDA regular ‘Occam’ is brilliant:
Rex postulates that MP Zoolander’s gaffes reveal an “unserious” mind. I would quantify that by stating that mini-me Trudough’s mindless juvenile gaffes reveal a political party which is now perpetually “not serious” about the important affairs of the nation or its people – they are so detached from the actual agendas and mechanics of providing good government, they have fielded a litany of inept/naive doofus losers as PM bait in hopes of hoodwinking the public so they can gain power – not to govern, but to plunder the public treasure for themselves and their patronage cartel.
The LPC is not a political party or a government in waiting – they are a kleptocratic brokerage cartel which sell political influence/privilege for personal and organizational gain. Governing responibly and well has been off the Liberal cartel’s radar for generations – it shows in their un-serious policy planks and ass-clown leaders.
“Humanitarian intervention” is nonserious psycho-babble that belongs in preteen encounter group therapy, not federal cabinet foreign policy. This is a Rump paty which survives solely on the low info voter and cannot be taken seriously as a governing alternative.

Washington Wire;

The White House might need a new poster child for its “tax fairness” campaign.
Famed billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who President Barack Obama has lauded and named a signature proposal after, is helping finance a deal that would allow Burger King Worldwide Inc. to reincorporate in Canada and potentially reduce its U.S. tax bill through a so-called inversion, the Journal reported late Monday.

Just another stop on the Root Causes Tour;

Justin Trudeau is being accused of “intellectual dishonesty” for his visiting a Montreal-area mosque that American government sources say has been an Al-Qaeda recruitment centre.
The Al Sunnah Al-Nabawiah mosque sits in Trudeau’s Quebec riding.
The Liberal leader reluctantly acknowledged last weekend he’d attended the Al-Sunnah Al-Nabawiah mosque, which follows the strict Wahhabist interpretation of Islam (codified and practiced in Saudi Arabia) then cast doubt on the veracity of the American government’s designation.

Jeffrey Simpson’s Foreign Policy Tantrum

Baiting The Left Great Moments In Socialism You Might Be A Liberal 32 Comments

Urban Ontario’s Poster Boy, Jeffrey Simpson, isn’t very happy with Stephen Harper and John Baird these days. He’s incredibly annoyed they’re standing up against Hamas and Putin … or something like that:

This new diplomacy is supposed to be based on “principles,” the accusation being that previous Canadian foreign policy was not. Rather, foreign policy had been based, Conservatives like to say, on “go along to get along,” or a lot of mushy pronouncements lacking purpose or direction, especially the full-throttle defence of Canada’s “interests.”

Lo and behold, Simpson is a Canadian pundit without principles. In other words, a perfect Liberal!

Wynning!

Baiting The Left Canadian Taxpayers Federation You Might Be A Liberal 38 Comments

In her endless thirst to confiscate more money from taxpayers, Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne is planning on a tax increase for air travelers in her province:

The fuel tax, currently at 2.7 cents per litre, will jump to 6.7 cents by 2017, under Ontario’s budget proposal — an “unbelievably punitive” hike according to Ben Smith, Air Canada’s chief commercial officer. Smith isn’t wrong. Airlines, which continue as barely profitable in 2014, operate on the tightest of margins. The hike is expected to cost Air Canada alone more than $50-million next year. To put this figure into context, the airline generated just $50-million in net profit in 2012.

Sadly, Leftists like Wynne, have never understood the Law of Unintended Consequences:

So news of Ontario’s fuel tax hike is sure to set hearts aflutter at U.S. border airports. The tax increase is expected to direct an additional 300,000 to 400,000 Canadian passengers to U.S. airports, according to Canada’s National Airlines Council. This will do serious damage to Canada’s airports, critical generators of job growth, and thus the Canadian economy overall.
