Pt3189 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I heard the simp stammering his explanation of the cancellation on the radio while driving. What an awful public speaker he is without a script to read from. How did he ever teach anyone anything ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 He'll go down in history as 1 of the worst public speakers in Canada. I knew guys in high school that could talk unscripted & walk around in front of an auditorium w/o a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote "It was never a betrayal when Stephen Harper did the very worst thing [for the environment]. But when you believe in someone and they let you down, that's much harder," May said, her voice breaking. Further, May said, "As a women leader of a federal political party in this country, I am deeply ashamed that our feminist prime minister threw two young women cabinet ministers under the bus on a key election promise, that he left them twisting in the wind and not fulfilling [the promise]."

Ahmed grew up in a small town in Somalia where his father was a local chief. In June 2014, Ahmed said, his father was murdered, and since he was the oldest son, his life was also threatened. Weren't the local Somali chiefs typically corrupt individuals who were living well and subjugating those "under" their domain? At least that's what one of the Somali people I used to work with told me. "I … received calls that I would be next and I would be killed," he said. "I was supporting my family in Somalia, my wife and my kids." Wouldn't the lives of his wife and kids be in jeopardy still being in Somalia? Why would he leave without them? So now we have a group of 22 that will not have any screening and just be given a year of free ride on the tax payer expense. Since April 2016, the council has opened 270 files, with a large increase in the fall. Maybe Truedope should hang out in the farm fields and give the illegal "refugees" winter coats. Send them back and let them apply through proper channels with proper background checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Reminds me of going thru secondary inspection at Ft Erie back in the 90s. A whole pile of grocery bags beside the door into the offices. I asked the customs girl what was up with all the garbage on the sidewalk. All she said was, "Refugees". I wonder if these "knowledgable and full of life experience persons will be successful? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/u-of-m-safe-third-country-1.3967341 What's to stop some of these "refugees" from flying from the EU (supposedly safe the last time I looked) to Canada (losing their papers on the way) & arriving in Canada?

I guess growing the economy from the heart and budgets balancing themselves ain't cutting it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02sled Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) The feds just gave Bombardier Aerospace a $372M repayable four year loan. They wanted $1B. It doesn't have any mention of interest. Outside of Quebec it isn't a popular move on the part of the feds. As the article says. Critics outside the province of Quebec also think the federal funding for Bombardier is a disappointment; they consider the funding too generous.Aaron Wudrick, a spokesman for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, says taxpayers should not be bailing out private companies."We're disappointed that they did but, if there's a silver lining, it's the fact that it's substantially less than [Bombardier] asked for." Wudrick worries government loans will become the norm for struggling companies. "There are thousands of Canadians every day that lose their jobs, companies that go under.…If you add those together, they're the size of several Bombardiers. But no one thinks of bailing them out, and I think it's a problem when we start to treat large companies different than we would any other." Meanwhile former ministers in the Harper government took to Twitter to call out Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for supporting Bombardier while phasing out the oilsands in western Canada. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/bombardier-loan-reaction-1.3971626 So PM Trudeau wants to "phase out the oilsands" because of C02, but gives $400M to subsidize C02-emitting aeroplanes Edited February 8, 2017 by 02sled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
