    1. 88,000 new government workers? Well that goes a long way to explain most of the $11 billion annual deficit. Kenney has an easy fix – hand out 100,000 pink slips and the budget will balance itself. Remember – Stelmack and Redford ran bloated commie bureaucracies before the communists took power.

    1. You can tell it’s a very Canadian lawsuit though: she’s going for $3.6 million.

      A US lawsuit would be claiming $360 million minimum.

      (Frankly, bankrupting the university’s coffers would have set a salutary example for the rest of the universities in Canada to start cutting out the malarkey. We can dream I suppose.)

    2. hopefully the settlement will come out of rambukabuka’s assests and the rest of the commies at WLU.

  4. Study: Reduced criminal penalties contributed to more thefts
    The Associated Press Updated: June 12, 2018

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California voters’ decision to reduce penalties for drug and property crimes in 2014 contributed to a jump in car burglaries, shoplifting and other theft, researchers reported Tuesday.

    Larcenies increased about 9 per cent by 2016, or about 135 more thefts per 100,000 residents than if tougher penalties had remained, the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California found.

    …Proposition 47 lowered criminal sentences for drug possession, theft, shoplifting, identity theft, receiving stolen property, writing bad checks and check forgery from felonies that can bring prison terms to misdemeanours that often bring minimal jail sentences.

    Captain Obvious strikes, yet again.

    Reducing punishment increased the incidence, in effect, upping the economic value of the crime.

    What’s next? Will some study conclude that theft is a crime with economic motivation?

      1. I know I’m off topic but I just can’t resist making another one of my prognostications. Recently, an article someplace suggested that Nikki Haley would be the first female President of the U.S. Now while that is a possibility, it is also a very real possibility that it will be Kamala Harris. It’s clear that is her target. The reason I bring it up is that I consider Kamala the embodiment of everything I detest in both the Democrat party and in women who subscribe to the social justice playbook. She is a cynical dangerous person, far more than Hillary ever was. I suggest she is someone to watch in the future…….. (my prognostications are AMAZINGLY accurate).

        Oh, and the article. Not good. A hit piece. Not that she doesn’t deserve ridicule it but it’s really misleading to imply she doesn’t know the laws relating to murder. She’s a gun control advocate and what her tweet is really implying is that men in domestic violence situations always use guns to kill women and thus we should ban guns.
        I think the reality is much less than “always”. In domestic violence fists and clubs are much more satisfying.

  6. Regina and Saskatoon police trial mental health app in cruisers
    Pamela Cowan, Regina Leader-PostUpdated: June 12, 2018

    Cst. Eric Lauf with the Regina Police Service demonstrates the HealthIM app installed on their in-car Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) in Regina. The pilot project software is in every police cruiser and at detention to help officers do mental health risk assessments.

    Like all police officers, Insp. Cory Lindskog has responded to many mental health crisis calls during his career — some of which he can only describe as heartbreaking.

    “There are a lot of unknowns,” Lindskog said. “First of all, it’s being able to determine that this person is in crisis and needs help, and then trying to figure out what kind of help this person needs.”

    Police officers in Regina and Saskatoon are using a software application called HealthIM to evaluate a person’s mental state. When patrol members arrive at a call, they use the app — which is installed on laptops in their patrol cars — to assess the risk the individual presents to himself or others.

    “It’s not that we’re diagnosing people, because that’s certainly not our role,” Lindskog said. “It just gives us more information. Are they delusional? Are they drinking?”

    At this rate, along with police sidearms, shotguns and AR-15s(assault rifles if not a police officer) and Tasers, police will carry tranquilizer guns, too. Choices, choices…

    Since Cult. Marxists, some in an fit of pathological empathy, think every crime is a mental health issue and hence without culpability. Soon the police may only be allowed to carry a tranquilizer gun.

    Then all police shootings/investigations will be billed through the Medical Care Insurance Commission. Thus reducing the municipal costs for policing.

    There is a method in their madness, whoops, whose idea was this? Have they been evaluated? Do they need to be …medicated, too?

    Directives will discourage police accidentally shooting themselves in the foot, no matter how bad the shift partners jokes were. )

  7. So the USA has been awarded the 2026 World Cup jointly with Canada and Mexico—in joyful expectation, no doubt, that by then the Trump rebellion will have been put down and progress will have resumed towards a globalist-controlled North American Union.

    http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/worldcup/north-america-lands-2026-world-cup-1.4703826

    I actually do think north American unity is feasible by 2026—with Canada and Mexico being governed wisely and well by military governors appointed by President Jared Kushner, first Jewish president of the United States, with mandates to drain the swamps, build the Wall to the south, and solve the Muslim problem to the north.

    I actually can’t wait.

      pot DOES have medicinal purposes. perhaps, PERHAPS if there had NOT been such fervent illogical opposition to legalization for medicinal purposes, we would not now be in this sort of ‘all or nothing’ point in the struggle for some friggin common sense.

    A spokesman for Doug Ford says Ontario’s incoming premier is determined to deliver on his campaign promise to scrap the “disastrous” cap-and-trade system and fight a federal carbon tax.

    Ford’s pledge is causing concern in Quebec, a province that introduced a cap-and-trade system in 2013 and shares a carbon market with Ontario and California.”

  12. $10m is the new grievance settlement.
    Lindsay Shepard take note. According to Mad Max your skin Color should not matter.

  13. The writer (from the Guardian) is having a tough time accepting the fact that two parties with more than 50% of the vote want to form a government. Hilter, Mussolini and Trump are all mentioned in a single sentence. Plus…

    “The coalition ‘contract’ that these populists want to implement includes not only massive public spending, which would break the budget and push Italy out of EU rules, but also the creation of specific crimes for immigrants and forced mass repatriations, as well as the closure of asylum centres and all Roma camps. The limits of legitimate self-defence are to be extended to include confronting burglars with weapons in hand.”

    The above changes to be implemented are referred to as a “dark shadow stretching over Italy”.

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/30/italy-regime-change-future-repressive-alliance-five-star-league

    The newly elected Italian government has been described as right-wing, populist and anti-establishment. They want a basic minimum income program, elimination of previous cuts to pensions, higher environmental standards AND less immigration thus making them both Europhobic and xenophobic.

    As one commenter posted “Italy cannot survive without immigration”. I think it’s more likely that “Africa won’t survive without massive emigration”.

  15. So Trump is the clear and present danger to democracy?

    Et tu Rosenstein? If he can’t produce the subpoenaed documents, Rosenstein should receive an arrest warrant and a pink slip. If Sessions can’t stand the political heat of this, then he can go too.

    “We learned that the Justice Department and FBI had, in fact, submitted to the FISA court the Steele dossier’s allegations from Russian sources, on the untenable theory that the foreign purveyor of these claims, Christopher Steele, was trustworthy — notwithstanding that he was not making the allegations himself, but instead was only relaying the claims of others.”

    We learned that the FBI had not been able to verify the dossier’s claims (and that even Steele does not stand behind them), but that the Justice Department presented them to the court anyway.”

    We learned that the Justice Department failed to tell the FISA court that Steele’s reports were an anti-Trump opposition-research project paid for by the Clinton campaign — i.e., paid for by the political candidate endorsed by the president, paid for by the party of the incumbent administration that had applied for the FISA warrant against its political opponent.”

    We learned that the Justice Department failed to tell the FISA court that Steele — on whose credibility it was relying — had been discontinued by the FBI as a source because he had lied about his contacts with the media.”

    We learned that one of those contacts with the media (specifically, with Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News) had generated a news story that the Justice Department actually offered as corroboration for Steele — on the false theory that someone other than Steele was the source for the story.
    We learned that the revelation of these facts posed no danger to national security or to methods and sources of intelligence-gathering. Instead, the Justice Department and FBI had fought tooth-and-nail against disclosure because these facts are embarrassing and indicative of an abuse of power.”

    And we learned that, after the initial 90-day FISA warrant was authorized in October 2016 (about three weeks before the election), it was reauthorized three times — well into the first year of the Trump administration. Meaning: The last FISA-warrant application was approved at the Justice Department by none other than Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.”

    Attorney General Sessions was counseled by Justice Department officials (none of them Trump appointees) to recuse himself under circumstances in which (a) there was no criminal investigation (which the regulations call for in recusal situations); (b) his contacts with Russian officials were not improper; (c) there was scant evidence of criminally actionable collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia; and (d) Sessions apparently had no involvement in approving FISA surveillance of Trump officials, and had less involvement than Rosenstein did in Comey’s firing.”

    On what planet is it necessary for Jeff Sessions to recuse himself but perfectly appropriate for Rod Rosenstein to continue as acting attorney general for purposes of both the Mueller investigation and Congress’s probe of Justice Department investigative irregularities?”

  16. Our demented demediocracy plying their statist trade and tripe again, as per SOP – take a story, bend it, interpret it, spin it for the necessary feeding of the 24/7 TDS news cycle, and then forget they put the actual reason in the article. Oops, don’t let that happen again eh?

    “Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s longtime confidant and former personal attorney, is likely to cooperate with federal investigators, as his lawyers are expected to leave the case, sources said.”

    Cohen, who is under federal investigation now with no legal representation, is likely to cooperate with federal prosecutors in Manhattan, sources said. This development, which is believed to be imminent, will likely hit the White House, family members, staffers and counsels hard.”

    Of course via a spy, er confidential informant.Clearly he’s flipping on Trump because he’s changed his lawyers.

    Never mind this tidbit. No he must have the goods on Trump; he must, he must, especially with Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination today.

    “A(nother) source familiar with the matter tells ABC News that among the reasons for Cohen’s change in counsel is a fee dispute.”

    Well, here it is… it’s brain dead Stupid Liberal Justine, et al.

    Q: Would POTUS Trump defend-protect SLJustine from a psychotic weapon, eg., KIMNORK?

    POTUS is POTUS Trump. Don’t poke/provoke the grizzly. Get over on his right side.

    For SLJustine to publicly provoke/embarrass President Trump is Trudeau’s swan song.

    “Still think outsourcing our national defence is a good idea?

    “… the most typical reply, whether simply baffled or outright mocking, has always been, “But why should Canada have a military? The Americans will just protect us.”

    Really? Does anyone still feel like this is something we should take for granted?”

    “Why spend money to do something your big, friendly neighbour will just do for you?

    That’s an appalling attitude. It is astonishingly cynical and self-absorbed. Countries should care about their own defence because that’s basically what countries are for. It’s deeply embarrassing that Canada has forgotten this. But I’ve long since reconciled myself to the bleak reality that whatever I might think about such a lazy, self-indulgent attitude, it is the accepted defence consensus among both our major political parties.

    But it shouldn’t be, and Donald Trump, whatever else he might be, is a very helpful reminder of that.”
