I wonder if any of the dough heads will actually get shuffled out of the Cabinet? If the current members are the 'best of the caucus', he hasn't got much in reserve. Plus he has to keep it gender neutral. Any female MPs in the backbenches that could replace Monsef, McKenna, Philpot, Chagger or Wilson-Raybould? The latter is  probably safe as she's of FN descent, so removing her would be 'horrible' to many people.

No he will just move people around and call it shiny and new.

How can anyone get to be any good at their job as a Minister of X when the incumbent keeps changing. It takes time to become competent in a role.

The window washer was Minister of Democratic Institutions November 4, 2015 – January 10, 2017 . Approximately 14 months. She botched that one and now Minister of Status of Women. The only reason she has a cabinet position is gender and Trudopes' arbitrary quota of 50%

Trudeau wants to promote newcomers such as Mary Ng, a former aide who was elected to Parliament last month, said two people familiar with the matter.Potential candidates to be moved include Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan, who has been under constant opposition attack after admitting he exaggerated his role in a major offensive in Afghanistan.

No need for a defence minister with a pansie ass Prime Minister!

Trudeau focuses on benefits of intelligence-gathering, sharing

Not boots on ground help

BRUSSELS — Canada’s deeply entrenched role in the fight against global extremism is more focused these days on intelligence-gathering — and sharing — than on putting more boots on the ground in the Middle East, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggested Thursday.

“The track record has shown that collaboration and cooperation between allies, friends and partners has saved lives and keeps all of our citizens safe,” Trudeau said at the outset of a day-long NATO meeting in Brussels. “We are going to continue to collaborate and to work together to ensure we’re doing everything we can to keep citizens and our communities safe.”

Trudeau brushed aside concerns that NATO’s agreement to increase intelligence-sharing in the fight against terrorism comes amid accusations that President Donald Trump and others in the U.S. are playing fast and loose with sensitive secrets.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization leaders spent Thursday hunkered down inside the sparkling new Brussels headquarters to discuss how they can better co-ordinate efforts in the fight against terrorism — and better share the cost of defence.

NATO Sec.-Gen. Jens Stoltenberg announced the alliance would be formally joining the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, albeit without a role in combat operations.

All 28 NATO allies are already part of the anti-ISIL coalition, and the military alliance has been involved in training Iraqi forces.

Trudeau suggested the role Canada now plays in fighting terrorism is through its membership in Five Eyes, an intelligence-sharing alliance that also includes the U.S., the U.K., Australia and New Zealand.

“We continue to be an important and trusted ally in the global intelligence community,” said Trudeau.

“There are many, many occasions upon which we have directly participated and in other occasions directly benefitted from information-sharing between security agencies and at the highest level.”

And while NATO agreed to assess its “level of support and the future of the mission” in Afghanistan, Trudeau betrayed no enthusiasm for sending soldiers back.

“We have no troops in Afghanistan at this time, but we are happy to be supportive in other ways.”

The last invasions didn't help much other than give birth to ISIS - what will the next invasion create?

for you old people living in the past 1930

Population 5.7 million about the size of GTA

Colorado’s marijuana industry churned out nearly US$2.4-billion in economic activity in 2015, created 18,000 full-time jobs and pumped US$121-million in tax revenues into state coffers, Orens’ group reported in a study released last fall.

 

After the initial surge, however, he noted the Colorado study predicted considerably slower sales growth under the expectation that the black market will gradually be swallowed up. The report projected sales growth of 13.1 per cent in the state in 2020.

 

In November, the parliamentary budget office projected 2018 sales tax revenue — for Ottawa and the provinces combined — to be as low as $356-million and as high as $959-million. That’s assuming regulated retail pot sells for $9 per gram, in line with current black-market prices.

Earlier this month, the C.D. Howe Institute think tank estimated legalized cannabis would generate about $675-million next year in combined federal and provincial revenue from existing sales taxes.

Deloitte estimated last fall that Canada’s soon-to-be-legalized pot industry could generate as much as $22.6-billion in economic activity.

And it will cost Ontario taxpayers $3billion a year to administer the multi teir bureacratic nightmare of an administration with thousands of government workers all lined up to get their share of the revenue.

 

Next statement Fail?

This could be posted in the Wynnebag thread as well since Professor Honeydew was present @ the announcement:

If people don't want green vehicles, how are they going to force people to buy them?

Are the provincial & federal gov'ts going to get rid of their limos & large SUVs? I doubt it, so just another case of do as I say, not as I do.

Funny last weekend at the 156 exit on the 400.  They installed about 15 ev charge stations, all were occupied with gas cars trucks cause the parking lot as usual became full.  Luckily there were no faggot vehicles present or requiring a recharge cause they would have been waiting.

Lol. I love how we pay through the nose for electrical power but yet we are supposed to buy electric cars? 

[Sksman]

One guy in our Quebec office has a Nissan Volt.

115km to 130km range summer.

dropped to 80km in winter.  He lives 40km from office so plugs in daily in winter.

Oh yeah if you run heater your range drops quickly.

He said people are buying secondary Espar heaters and installing them.  Use a small diesel fired heater in an electric car so they can stay warm and have any range.

 

Our government is again taking a path to cripple our society!

They will put us heavy into electric cars that cost too much to build and dont fit many peoples lifestyle.  What about long distance commuters?

He knows (or his advisors) that if he puts troops in harm's way in the next 2 years, the sight of body bags won't help his chances for re-election.

I caught some of his speech from the G7 today. When did we elect PM Care Bear? He sounds more at home reading stories to pre-schoolers than talking to dignitaries. 

On the topic of the G7, was there any reporting of protests in Sicily? I wonder if the 'usual suspects' show up to act up in Charlevoix next year @ the G7 meeting?

Lets hope it stops there.  France has officially gone down the toilet.  Heard they passed a maximum 37 hour work week and it is against french law to even respond to emails after hours.  I'm sure you support it.
