I’m betting these guys didn’t see this coming from their ‘ABC’ campaign.
To do that, the government will essentially demote some veterans to a rank below the one they held when they left the military – something that the veterans say is not only unfair but humiliating.
Anything to save a buck for ‘office renovations’, refugees and PM Selfie’s vacations, eh.
The Russians and Chinese know more about Hillary’s email than the American public.
In their customary fashion, Team Clinton is pushing back with a touch of cheek. Ms. Clinton now plans a serious effort to sell herself as the better national security candidate than Donald Trump, based on her tenure of secretary of state. While there is no denying Mr. Trump is a national security neophyte who seems unacquainted with some of the basic lingo of that field, he is not under FBI investigation for espionage and political corruption.
Besides, it’s summer and I’m spending 2 hours a day on, frankly, nothing.
Michelle Rempel is on the hunt for an explanation of why Edmonton Mill Woods MP Amarjeet Sohi spent $835k on ‘office renovations’.
Luckily for him, the CBC has his back.
@jfgroves The Conservatives claim the $835,000 was for office renovations. That isn't true. New department, new office, new staff. ^jb

Course, it isn’t a new department or a new office….

Update: SDA Gets Results

BI (before Internet) these Liberals with bylines would have gotten away with it and set the narrative. Should have sold the CBC when the Conservatives had the majority. What’s the worst that could have happened? Lose the election?
Lots of rumours going around about the former Fisheries Minister.
It would be normal to leave cabinet, not so normal to also leave the caucus.
Let’s not get anyone sued by jumping to conclusions on SDA, eh?
See, the Cincinnati Zoo didn't kill the Great Ape, they enabled it's assisted suicide. #cdnpoli

And the wing-nuts talk about Tony’s gazebo. Montreal, you’re just special.
$700k, folks, should be done by July.
… This is a war over how dialogue in America will be shaped. If Hillary wins, we’re going to see a further tightening of PC culture. But if Trump wins? If Trump wins, we will have a president that overwhelmingly rejects PC rhetoric. Even better, we will show that more than half the country rejects this insane PC regime.”
Red Lined, April 22nd – Brexit would put UK ‘back of the queue’ for trade talks – Obama
Red Faced, June 30th – after Britain’s 52-48 vote to leave, the State Department has signaled over the last 24 hours that Obama’s threat was empty.
A hundred years ago, today.
He may garner some of that Silicon Valley vote.
Crappy move by MassMutual Financial Group. ‘Knowledge transfer’.
“This, among other things, has forced me to conclude that the majority of conservatives (not all) are very much like most liberals and leftists. They view politics and economics not as the key to unlock and unleash the total potential of human kind, allowing us to drastically improve the lives of future generations, and achieve untold levels of greatness in our own. They view it as a religion, a therapy session, and a substitute for real and genuine accomplishment in life because they’re too damn lazy to put any real work or effort into it. This is why after 40 years of Rush Limbaugh and 35 years of conservative talk radio, nothing has been achieved because, just like going to church, it’s easier to bitch, whine, lament, rue, and mope, than actually put forth the work and effort. And just because they claim to be conservative doesn’t meant they have a harder work ethic or know better. They just happened to be lucky to choose the political model that actually works.”
If we don’t tell him, he can’t call us liars.
“The difficulties I have faced in accessing the information my office needs to produce relevant and timely analyses are much greater than I expected they would be,” LeClair said. “Ministries have repeatedly refused to provide my office with information on grounds that are not founded in my enabling legislation.”
Spending cuts coming, a deficit too in tomorrows budget.
Maxime calls for the end of supply management in eggs, poultry and milk.
I wonder what Martha Hall Findlay thinks.
Thomas Sowell on dubious graduation messages:
Two themes seem to dominate Commencement speeches. One is shameless self-advertising by people in government, or in related organisations supported by the taxpayers or donors, saying how nobler it is to be in “public service” than working in business or other “selfish” activities. In other words, the message is that it is morally superior to be in organisations consuming output produced by others than to be in organisations which produce that output. Moreover, being morally one-up is where it’s at.
The second theme of many Commencement speakers, besides flattering themselves that they are in morally superior careers, is to flatter the graduates that they are now equipped to go out into the world as “leaders” who can prescribe how other people should live. In other words, young people, who in most cases have never had either the sobering responsibility and experience of being self-supporting adults, are to tell other people — who have had that responsibility and that experience for years — how they should live their lives.
Language warning:
Kathleen Wynne actually claims that criticism of her policies by a Alberta legislator Derek Fildebrant amounts to sexism. Justin Trudeau used the foreign workers program that he criticized and after manhandling fellow MPs, may discipline Kevin Vickers for taking down a protester.
