“Thankfully, the Deportation Army Economic Stimulus Plan is also a JOBS PLAN for men. We cannot investigate, round up, and deport illegals with the current staffing levels of the border patrol. But by creating a 2.5 million man deportation army, not only will be be able to deport all the illegal aliens in the country, but we will be able to offer jobs to all those men unfortunate enough to be either unemployed or underemployed.”
It’s “Keynesian Magic” at it’s finest!

Federal Bureaucrats Rack Up Pricey Relocation Expenses
Wudrick noted that some costs were for long-distance moves, including those to or from disparate locations in the north. But several relatively short moves were very high in cost, such as the CRA employees who received $538,549 and $113,608 just for moving within Ontario, from Richmond Hill to Belleville, and Mississauga to Ottawa, respectively.

A Liberal, is a Liberal, is a Liberal.
The opposition is almost certain to have a field day if Trudeau becomes the first prime minister in Canada’s history to violate a federal statute — a statute on ethics and conflict of interest, no less — while in office.
Hang ‘Em Shoot ‘Em Beat ‘Em Up In The Streets
The same assault on free speech that is attached to those who question Global Warming has crossed over into any discussion of economic systems that isn’t one of high taxation on corporations and massive government spending. So-called “progressive” economics..

Some Swamps Drain Themselves
In a “mass layoff” event reported late last week by the Department of Labor, the Clinton Foundation announced it would lay off some 22 employees at the Clinton Global Initiative, which attained notoriety during the John Podesta leaks, when the various details of the fallout between between CGI head Doug Band and Chelsea Clinton were revealed; it also emerged that long-time Bill Clinton friend Band was soliciting donations for Clinton through his PR firm, Teneo in an sordid example of “pay for play” which most of the mainstream media refused to cover, especially after Band emailed Podesta “If this story gets out, we are screwed.”
Filed as mandated by the Department of Labor’s Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN notice, on January 12, the Clinton Foundation’s Veronika Shiroka advised the DOL that as part of a “Plant Layoff” it would layoff 22 workers on April 15, with reason for the dislocation stated as “Discontinuation of the Clinton Global Initiative.” The layoffs are part of the Clinton plan put in motion ahead of the presidential election, to offset a storm of criticism regarding pay-to-play allegations during Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

Matt Taibbi Shares His Thoughts About Trump and the “Out of Touch Elite Media”
One can only speculate what Wendy Mesley thinks of her fellow Leftist, Matt Taibbi, deviating from “the script”:
“The media and politicians had spent so much time with each other that they lost touch with regular people, and Trump capitalized on that. He made us in the media villains, representative of this out of touch, ivory tower political culture,” he said.
“I think there’s some fairness to it, as much as I dislike Donald Trump, he hit a note, several notes, in this campaign that were true, and that was one of them.”
Hey Wendy, how come Hillary Clinton’s mocking of tens of millions of “deplorables” (white blue-collar workers) didn’t invalidate her in your eyes?!?

“The fact that he stood there and said (the tax) didn’t take effect yet, either he was not being honest or he just has no clue that it’s going on already,” Katula said. “I think he was completely dumbfounded. I think I caught him off guard.

Trump could be about to take a BAT to Canadian jobs
For every winner, there’s a loser.
The BAT has the backing of two congressmen with the power to do something about it: House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady.
President-elect Trump has not stated a definitive position on it, but it lines up perfectly with his plan to cut imports and boost domestic production. With Republican domination in the House, Senate, and Oval Office, there is a real chance it will happen.
I guess we’ll see.
