“Canadians are known as peacekeepers above all and not warriors. There’s nothing proud about being a warrior, war is a desperate outcome for a human being, peacekeeping is extremely noble.”
I have no clue where the idea that this guy could be a contender for CPC leadership comes from. I have heard exactly nothing ‘in the wind’ from anyone outside of media and I think they just want to stir up crap.

The Foreign Media’s Love Affair with The Shiny Pony
Britain’s left-wing Guardian newspaper has posted a luvvy-duvvy “article” on Justin Trudeau. Any snippet from it would likely make most SDA regulars vomit so instead, here’s an apropos comment:
Really, the Guardian’s editorial board passed this nonsense with no one wondering about the doublespeak? Mr. Trudeau is the climate fighter passing pipelines? We help refugees by allowing a few of the masses in need? We create jobs for the future by investing in industries of the past? I think Mr. Trudeau is portraying himself as all things to all people; but, he is a neoliberal with a neoliberal agenda, and he doesn’t like to be criticized. He’s a good looking dude whose only difference from the previous PM is the hair; in Canada, we tend to be consistently governed by neoliberals which means really nothing ever changes. CETA was advocated by both conservative and liberal governments, the TPP was pushed, the fear of Mr. Trump and the destruction of NAFTA; it’s not so much the harm to the little guy, it is the fact big corporations (the executives) want to be in charge and with the populism, they are no longer, The world is against globalization, Canada sticks out because we are still a nice people; no, we are an obedient one which isn’t quite the same thing.
“It’s not like Paris here. “
A documentary produced by French news channel France 2 has caused a major controversy in the land of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. The reason? The news channel sent a couple of female undercover journalists to neighborhoods and cities in France with large Muslim populations to see with their own eyes how women were treated in them. The results were downright shocking.

There Goes The Narrative!
Yasmin Seweid, 18, has been charged by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) for filing a fraudulent police report after she claimed Trump supporters called her a terrorist and attempted to pull her hijab off her head, the New York Daily News reported.
A source with the New York Daily News said Seweid stood by her story until NYPD continued to press her on the matter after finding no evidence that the attack occurred. Seweid admitted that she had fabricated the story, claiming she had family problems.
Good luck with this getting as much coverage as the original hoax story did.
Trudeau wants a cut of your health and dental – with a new tax
It really is like the mob, you can’t have something – like prescription drug benefits – without paying tribute to the boss, in this case the feds.
I think the end goal is a national healthcare plan and elimination of private insurance.
How Bill’s Wife Lost Michigan
Yes, I’m a junkie so I like reading these post-mortems;
On the morning of Election Day, internal Clinton campaign numbers had her winning Michigan by 5 points. By 1 p.m., an aide on the ground called headquarters; the voter turnout tracking system they’d built themselves in defiance of orders — Brooklyn had told operatives in the state they didn’t care about those numbers, and specifically told them not to use any resources to get them — showed urban precincts down 25 percent. Maybe they should get worried, the Michigan operatives said.
Nope, they were told. She was going to win by 5. All Brooklyn’s data said so.
They should be paying us!
So this article came across my screen yesterday, it was months old but new to me. The argument is that Canada is a carbon-neutral country.
The idea, put forward by F. Larry Martin, a retired senior civil servant, is that Canada absorbs more carbon dioxide than we emit due to our forests, farmland etc.
I called up Mr. Martin and had him on radio. I think you will enjoy the chat.
