^ Wow...

Yet when a man loses a limb from workplace hazards or automobile accidents, or (Cambodian land-mines or from Middle Eastern airstrikes to stop Hillary Clinton's allies), his Ontario disability social agency conduct regular re-assessments to ensure that he isn't "frauding" the Ontario government by refusing to work like mule with a prosthetic arm or leg.

But Ontario Leader Kathleen Wynne wants to enforce the forced re-distribution of wealth to enrich her feminist and lesbian cronies.

Where that CPP money going to? To pay for Toronto spinsters, not only as a form of retirement lottery winnings, but for them to go abroad to file false wape allegations all over the place to repeat the cycle of increasing more power to restrict male sexuality.

It's complicated, but when a Toronto woman goes abroad to file false wape allegations, the country is forced by the Canadian government to amend their laws for "womenzzz rights", but at the same time the locals who get robbed in broad daylight don't even get justice because the local police can't even afford gas for their police vehicle.

Once average Canadians get to see the bigger picture with all of this feminist crap and forced taxation from Ontario, hopefully the productive provinces of Canada separate from the elitist champagne socialist shit going on in Ontario.

Ontario is like Animal Farm where the Pigs are the Liberal Lesbians and the mules are the Alberta people working in oil rig.

Nota bien: I know that Quebec is known to be a moocher of federal transfers too, but Francophone chicks are sexually-liberal than the entire Canada, plus chicks from European France are regulars in Quebec in certain towns that I will not mention in order to prevent any spiteful Toronto womminz invasion like what they did to Montreal, without that much success except the Roosh hysteria...The Roosh hysteria which I denounced as "Islamophobic" which many MTLers later had to agree to my opinion.

We can't let them starve in Quebec because the last thing Canadians need are a surplus of Toronto womminz while the sexually fun Francophone and Parisian chicks are decreasing in number.

Caledonia, Ontario update. Man named Randy Fleming won his lawsuit against the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).

Christie Blatchford Wrote:Judge rebukes police for putting ‘demands of occupiers’ over other Canadians

More than 10 years after the oft-violent native occupation of the Douglas Creek Estates housing site began in Caledonia, Ont., a judge has given teeth to the claim that the Ontario Provincial Police engaged in “two-tiered” law enforcement that favoured occupiers over non-native residents.

“The OPP acted in accordance with a framework to put the demands of the occupiers ahead of the rights of other Canadian citizens,” Ontario Superior Court Judge Kim Carpenter-Gunn said in part last month.

Her decision was given orally from the bench on Sept. 22; Postmedia has obtained a transcript.

The case was a civil lawsuit against the OPP and six of its members filed by Randy Fleming, a 55-year-old retired steelworker and long-time resident of the picturesque small town south of Hamilton.

On May 24, 2009, Fleming had attempted to walk peacefully, carrying a Canadian flag, up the main Caledonia street to a so-called “flag rally,” the first time since the occupation had begun that the police were going to allow the maple leaf to be raised anywhere near Douglas Creek Estates — often referred to as DCE — lest the mere sight of it inflame the occupiers.

But as he approached the entrance to DCE, three OPP vans drove past him, turned around and then drove toward him, forcing him to clamber into a ditch and then up to the higher ground of the occupied site, whereupon he was forcibly taken to the ground by a half-dozen officers, his left elbow and nerves permanently injured, and then arrested.

The judge came down strongly on Fleming’s side — awarding him a total of almost $300,000 in general and special damages and legal costs, proclaiming him a credible witness who had handled both the chronic pain and simmering rage that were the residue of his arrest with stoic grace and finding the OPP had been “very heavy-handed” and that several officers were evasive or not believable in their evidence.

Carpenter-Gunn found that Fleming had done nothing wrong, let alone illegal, and that the police had breached his Charter and common-law rights “in order to appease certain unidentified Aboriginal individuals who may have been involved in the occupation of DCE.”

In the end, she said, the police falsely arrested and unlawfully imprisoned Fleming.

All he’d done, she said, “was to stand peacefully and alone with the Canadian flag, on a piece of public land in Canada, potentially angering a group of people (the occupiers) who were about 100 metres away.”

Ironically, the judge said, there were only 20 or so native occupiers at the main gate that day, and only about half of them even noticed Fleming’s approach and moved towards him. None of them was armed, and none carried weapons.

And though two officers testified that if “there was a threat of violence at all, it was coming from the occupiers,” the judge said unequivocally if the police hadn’t interfered with Fleming’s quiet walk, “he would simply have passed in front of DCE and moved onto the flag-raising event.”

In other words, she said, it was the conduct of the police in “driving directly” at Fleming that forced him to leave the shoulder of the road and “walk a few feet onto what may have been DCE land.”

If the decision was a tremendous personal victory for the tenacious Fleming and his lawyer Michael Bordin, it also offered in microcosm a vindication for many in Caledonia.

From the moment the occupation began on Feb. 28, 2006, when a handful of protesters from the nearby Six Nations reserve walked onto DCE, the OPP policed as they had never policed before: Occupiers broke the law, sometimes violently right under police noses, with arrests, when they were made, not made contemporaneously but weeks or months later.

Often, even in the face of egregious law-breaking, the OPP simply did nothing.

But non-native citizens who objected — or God forbid, took to the streets to protest the uneven treatment and their abandonment by the state — were treated by the OPP as instigators, and arrested, as Fleming was, for daring to assert their rights to freedom of speech and expression.

Roads were blocked, bridges and cars burned, the residents who lived on roads around DCE at one point actually issued “passports” by masked occupiers and forced to show them to enter their property. A Hydro One transformer station was vandalized and set on fire, knocking out power to almost 8,000 people in the area.

And when the OPP belatedly deigned to enforce a court order to remove the occupiers, they were driven off the site by a mob of natives, many armed with bats, axes, shoves and the like, with their tails between their legs.

It was an astonishing decimation of the rule of law that went on for years, with the OPP and Ontario government both denying the truth of what citizens saw daily with their own eyes.

Even Fleming’s arrest was a joke, with the OPP saying they’d arrested him to prevent a breach of the peace or because he’d breached the peace, but actually charging him with obstructing a police officer.

Fleming appeared in court 12 times to defend himself against the charge (those legal fees of almost $13,000 were part of the damages the judge awarded) only to see the Crown withdraw the charges 19 months later.

The flag rally on the day when Fleming was arrested was, he testified, a response to the fact that until that date, “no one had been allowed to put up a Canadian flag on Argyle Street,” though the flag of the Mohawk Warriors flew all that time on DCE.

The Canadian flag meant something to Fleming: He’d been told stories by his father and grandparents about the First and Second World Wars and, the judge found, he was “sincere regarding his respect for the flag.”

As Christine McHale, a veteran in Caledonia’s fight for fair policing, said this week, “At least Randy and the rest of our little group can hold our heads high, knowing we did the right thing.”

Note how they charged him with a bullshit "obstruction" charge and then dragged him through 12 court appearances over 19 months and cost him $13,000 in legal fees. And then just quietly dropped the case.

Because they know that the process is the punishment.

Congratulations to Mr. Fleming and his lawyer Michael Bordin.

Well done men.

Bloody well fucking done.

Wow, he won against the OPP and the indians. Thats amazing.

I remember back in the day when the OPP were getting sued for abusing indians...now they are protecting the indians and savaging the whites. What a world.

What is happening to Trump right now has been happening to men at many levels for a long while now. There is a systematic purge of masculinity going on. SJW's are doing it to Trump right now. They did it to Rob Ford in Toronto when they went after his troubled personal life issues. And here is an example of it at the local municipal level in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada.

The mayor, Mike Bradley has been the target of an internal investigation into workplace harassment.

Quote:

Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley may be the first elected official in Ontario to have his access to a municipal office restricted, say a pair of political experts.

Bradley – a 28-year mayor who secured 66 per cent of the vote in the last municipal election – had his after-hours city hall privileges yanked last week in what some of his colleagues have described as an effort to ensure the safety of city workers.

“I haven't heard of [such a move] in Ontario before,” Western University politics professor Andrew Sancton said Wednesday. “That doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but I haven't heard of it.”

The seemingly unprecedented move comes after the release of a startling workplace investigation report involving Bradley and his treatment of four senior city staffers: city manager Marg Misek-Evans, former planning director Jane Cooper, former city clerk Nancy Wright-Laking, and former parks and recreation director Beth Gignac.

That report – authored by human resources lawyer Lauren Bernardi – found Bradley harassed and bullied all four senior managers, breaching the city's workplace harassment policy and the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

City council is now expected to consider further sanctions against the mayor – its only recourse, councillors say, to protect city staff – at its Oct. 24 meeting.

Sarnia council members are facing a dilemma similar to that of their colleagues in Toronto when they dealt with troubled Mayor Rob Ford, says a veteran political expert.

“When (Toronto council) discovered there was unacceptable behaviour, there was nothing they could do and it strikes me that what we're seeing in Sarnia is a bit of the same,” said Robert Williams, a professor emeritus in the political science department at the University of Waterloo.

A municipal council has no authority to suspend or remove one of its members under the Ontario Municipal Act, but Williams said “creative” solutions – like restricting the mayor's access to city hall – could help restore order at the city and demonstrate Bradley's behaviour is unacceptable.

“(Council is) trying to find a way to get the message across, and the benign view would be that they want this to stop and it appears that sanctions are the only way to get it to stop when I read through that HR report,” said Williams, who is also a part-time integrity commissioner.

On Tuesday, Bradley called his new-found city hall restriction “demeaning.” He also suggested the move isn't in the public's best interest because he's known for working around the clock in his office to serve the public.

Bradley declined further comment to The Observer on Wednesday, but he did make an appearance on CTV News to address the new restriction and his three-month pay suspension.

Bradley was recently docked 90 days' pay by council after a city integrity commissioner's report found he had verbally abused and bullied two of the four complainants in the workplace investigation report.

“Despite what happened – I had a major cancer operation and being not paid for three months – I've been on the job every day,” Bradley told CTV News.

He vowed to continue to do his job “no matter how difficult council makes it for me.”

Public support has remained strong for Bradley – currently Ontario's second-longest serving mayor – who is known for his work as a political commentator and his soft spot for social justice issues like accessibility and the employment of the disabled.

Bradley has apologized for his behaviour, but he continues to raise questions about the integrity of both investigations – much to the chagrin of several council colleagues.

Williams said some elected municipal officials, like Bradley, still need to understand that holding a political office also comes with expectations in terms of conduct.

“Being elected into office does not give you free rein to act in any way that you feel you want to, and when I read the reports, the way the mayor treated staff – interestingly all female – and the way his behaviour was reported and accepted by independent sources suggests that's not within the purview of an elected official to act that way.”

But both political experts acknowledged that the Ontario Municipal Act needs to be updated to better define the role of a mayor and the role of a city manager in an effort to avoid power struggles between mayors and staff.

“There's huge potential for conflict because the relative roles are unclear,” Sancton said.

Sarnia voters will ultimately decide Bradley's political fate if he chooses to run for office again in 2018, but Sancton pointed out that incumbents tend to fare well – as long as they avoid “bad publicity.”

Sancton has been “struck” by how Bradley is now arguing that his behaviour was done all in the name of protecting taxpayers.

“If he can sell that argument, he has a chance for re-election given that he has this long record.”

This is the new tactic of the bureaucrat class... thwart the will of the voters by smearing the elected official with bullshit allegations and have the allegations certified by "experts" who are just other bureaucrats. They did precisely this to Rob Ford and they are doing precisely this to Trump right now.

Here is an excerpt from Mayor Mike Bradley's open letter addressing this matter:

Mike Bradley Wrote:The public should also be aware of the nature of some of the complaints against me
that were vexatious and frivolous; however, neither Mr. Swayze nor Ms. Bernardi
chose to eliminate them from consideration. They include:

 Mayor did not speak to me for a period of time
 Mayor did not introduce me to school children when they were touring the Mayor’s Office
 Mayor did not give me a larger role during the Inaugural Meeting of Council
 Mayor ignored me at Council Meetings
 Mayor only visited my office three times during my time at City Hall
 Mayor did not say goodbye to me when I left the City employ

The public should also be aware that Sarnia City Council:
 Over-road a public by-law at a secret, closed-door meeting on February 4th, 2016
 Illegally polled Council on holding Council meetings in April, 2016
 Conducted an illegal electronic meeting in August, 2016

There have been other violations of the Rules of Order or open government
legislation. At this point in time I have chosen not to go to the Ombudsman on
these issues as I believe the City needs to move forward, not backwards.

The cost of the first investigation was over $70,000. The second one by Ms.
Bernardi appears to be much more by hundreds of thousands of dollars. The public
deserves to know the full cost of the two investigations, the cost of the third lawyer
and to see itemized billing details on the costs to judge the value for taxpayers’
money. The enormous amounts of taxpayer dollars spent on the two investigations
could have paved a lot of roads, protected a lot of waterfront beaches, improved a
lot of parks and made Sarnians’ lives better.

^ So true. I can't imagine what would happen to a Walter Assef today





The guy grabbed the queen of england's ass, and made no apologies.

I never heard of Walter Assef before, what a character, its crazy that his Lebanese parents ended up in Northern Ontario almost a century ago, those guys sure did move around the country after getting off the boat in Halifax.

Politicians like him are a dying breed, that video reminds me of a NB politician, Able Leblanc, who caused an uproar a few years back after flipping the bird and challenging another politician to a fight outside:




YOU'RE A PUNK!

I didn't want to make a separate thread for this so I'll just ask here, I'm making a playlist of Canadian rock/alternative/punk from the 80s/90s and am wondering if any of you guys have any ideas? Here's what I have so far:

-Doubghboys: Shine
-I mother earth: One more astronaut
-I mother earth: Another sunday
-Limblifter: Screwed it up
-Matthew good band: Hello time bomb
-Moist: Push
-Pursuit of happiness: I'm an adult now
-Pursuit of happiness: cigarette dangles
-Sloan: Underwhelmed
-Sloan:The other man
-Gob: I hear you calling
-Gob: Soda
-The headstones: Smile and wave
-The headstones: Cubically contained
-Age of electric: Ugly
-Rusty: Misogyny

^
Sandbox - Curious
Gob - you're too cool
Hanson Brothers - Danielle (hard to find) Last Canadian boy is easier*
SNFU - Better than Eddie Vedder
Chixdiggit - I hate basketball
Hostage life - sons of hostage life

last, you'll shit yourself if you've never heard of this band
The Real McKenzies - Farewell to Nova Scotia
The Real McKenzies - The Night the Lights went out in Scotland



* The Hanson Brothers are actually BC band No Means No, just switching instruments and playing songs about hockey

^Any discussion of Canadian alternative rock from the 90's is not complete without mentioning Econoline Crush. They had an industrial influenced sound that never went overboard into goth territory. One of my very favorite bands ever. Four or five years ago I could have made a road trip to see them perform at a bar in Peterborough, ON but I turned down the opportunity for pussy instead. I got the bang that night, but I'm kind of kicking myself because I heard they're on hiatus now and times were so tough that the lead-singer Trevor Hurst went to school to become a psychiatric nurse. A criminal waste of talent.





^It's kinda beta as the song is about a man's sexual insecurity, but fuck it, it sounds great.

Wasn't much into the local (Montreal) punk scene back in the day, but a couple of bands I would check out regularly were The Gruesomes and Deja Voodoo...

Ezra Levant is causing trouble at the UN:

Ezra Levant Wrote:Dear Ghost Tiger,

The United Nations just banned three Rebel Media journalists, blacklisting us from covering the upcoming UN global warming conference in Marrakech, Morocco.

The one-line excuse offered by the UN is that we are “advocacy journalists”, a term they do not define and has been used by the UN before. You can see their letter, and other key documents, by clicking here.

The UN is refusing to let Sheila Gunn Reid, and a producer and a cameraman, attend the conference. But they’re letting in 3,000 other journalists, most of whom are wildly supportive of the UN’s global warming agenda.

In other words, our journalists aren’t being kept out because we have an opinion. They’re being kept out because we have the wrong opinion.

Here, watch my new video on the subject.





The UN truly lets anyone into these conferences — even official propagandists for state-run media like China’s Xinhua and Qatar’s Al Jazeera. Not to mention Justin Trudeau’s pet broadcaster, the CBC. And of course any old blogger or neighbourhood activist who believes in global warming.

They all get in. But the UN just can’t stand the thought that three out of 3,000 journalists attending might not be singing from the official UN song sheet.

It’s just like when Rachel Notley sent an armed sheriff to stop Sheila from entering the Alberta Legislature as a reporter. Notley backed down after withering criticism. But of course the UN doesn’t have any opposition — it’s run by countries like China and Saudi Arabia.

We’ve been quietly trying to convince the UN to reconsider for two weeks — our lawyer has sent two well-reasoned letters to the UN, and we’ve even had the support of three non-partisan journalism associations: PEN Canada, The Canadian Association of Journalists and Canadian Journalists for Free Expression. They have all been ignored as well.

This cannot stand. The UN must live up to their obligations to allow a free press to monitor their activities. And if they don’t, the Canadian government must intervene on our behalf.

Please click here to sign our petition, demanding that the UN lift their blacklist of Rebel reporters.

Today is the deadline for UN accreditation. We don’t expect to get it. So we will petition the Canadian government to intervene on our behalf.

But the idea that Justin Trudeau would help us is a bit of a laugh. So we’ve decided that we’re going to the conference, whether or not we’re accredited. Even if we have to holler our questions at climate VIPs as their stepping in and out of their chauffeured limousines, so be it. At least it will be more honest journalism than the trained media pets the UN lets in!

If you can, please help us defray the cost of that trip by clicking here. We’ve scrimped — we bought the cheapest plane tickets we could, and we’re staying at an affordable hotel. But we need your help. We don’t get $1.5 billion a year like Trudeau’s pro-UN CBC does.

Thank you for your help — this fight has just begun.

Yours truly,

Ezra Levant

P.S. Please forward this e-mail to anyone who cares about freedom of the press, fighting against UN corruption and secrecy, or anyone who is just sick of jet-setting VIPs telling us to pay a carbon tax while they live the high life.

And please type www.LetUsReport.com as your Facebook status!

This is great. The NDP (left leaning) party of BC is trying to make a relevant comeback. Its not going so good, as they are also beholden to all the shitty rules they are trying to make for other people. One of them is obviously 'diversity'.

So his defeated (woman, cripple, etc) opponent tell this straight white man that he shouldn't have won in his 99% white riding, because he is white and male, and he tells them he sometimes fucks other men. HA!

Take that diversity quota. What a fucking sham.

experienced Jewish lawyer and international banker vs. rookie politician with russian history degree. Game over.

Also, curious/shady on how Chrystia Freeland even ran for her seat as an MP in toronto center. Her husband, Graham Bowley, who is also a journalist for the New York times lists in his bio that he lives in New York with his wife and three children. How does one have a home riding in toronto but live in NY with her husband and family at the same time? Smells like Mike Duffy.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Canadian Federal politics are more corrupt than american. The only difference is that american politics are more open and the fraud is exposed more frequently.

edit: Freeland comes from Ukranian/EE parents which makes her degrees all the more retarded. Getting a degree in something you already have access to is just lazy. Like women getting women's studies degrees, or a francophone getting a degree in french language from an anglophone university. Perhaps they should create a degree in Hockey studies for lazy rural canadians.

Today she is speaking to reporters in Belgium while crying as it has become evident that CETA is going to fall through.

This is what happens when government jobs are given to people who have no right being there. Having a vagina and a degree does not mean she can negotiate with people who have worked every day to get to exactly their position.

She has now instantly shattered any chance of being taken seriously if there ever is a chance to re negotiate. But after whining about how nice Canada is, and how she essentially doesn't even care she was out played so she can spend time with her kids, just puts into perspective how much damage can be done by Troolander and the Liberals ideals of jobs for equality instead of jobs based on merit.

I hate to think of my country when these retards are forced to negotiate with President Trump and his top people. We are going to end up buying ice from Texas.

I cannot wait for a Trump administration to play hardball with and rough up our foul Social Justice Regime and make them actually cry on camera like the weak little communist bitches they are. The people of Canada won't prosper due to losing badly on the trade deals, but fuck my fellow citizens for being a bunch of cucks and voting a half-wit and his gang of outright marxists into a majority.

Harper pretty much gift wrapped CETA for the Liberals.

Look at the solipsism in that statement
"I personally worked hard[...] now evident to me [...] I'm personally disappointed, I think it's impossible[...] at least I get to see my three kids"

Whistleblower Edward Snowden says spying on reporters is a 'radical attack on the free press'

Montreal Gazette Wrote:Students at McGill University came out in droves to see whistleblower Edward Snowden speak via video Wednesday night, just as Montreal was dealing with a surveillance scandal of its own in the wake of the news Montreal police have been spying on reporters.

The line-up for Snowden stretched across the length of the campus, and [email protected], which organized the event, had to scramble to accommodate the overflow.





Striking temporary employees from the AMUSE union tried to block people from entering the auditorium, but didn’t succeed and their attempt to rally the crowd inside was met with boos.

When Snowden’s face finally appeared on a giant screen in the room, 90 minutes late, there was thunderous applause.

While some view Snowden as a traitor, he clearly was hailed as a hero by the McGill crowd.

Whichever way you see him, Snowden – a former CIA employee and contractor for the National Security Agency who is responsible for the largest national security breach in U.S. history – is a pivotal figure in any debate pertaining to the issue of government surveillance.

He is one of the most wanted fugitives in the world after leaking thousands of classified NSA documents in 2013. His disclosures revealed, among other things, that U.S. telecommunications companies were providing the NSA with virtually all their customers’ phone records and that the NSA has a tool to search nearly everything a user does on the Internet.

So Snowden’s talk at McGill was timely, as the city is in an uproar over police spying on La Presse reporter Patrick Lagacé and possibly much more widespread spying as well.

Here’s what Snowden had to say, from his hideout in Russia, on some important issues:

Montreal spying scandal: “The story about Montreal police spying on a journalist for the reason of uncovering sources is a radical attack on the free press,” he said. “It unsettles me. It’s a threat to the traditional model of our democracy.” Now, he said, local police can decide that if they don’t like a certain reporter, they can ask a judge to monitor their phones. It used to be such measures were reserved for real criminal threats; now they have been repurposed to monitor journalists.

The Internet age and surveillance: We’re all being watched and that’s what drove Snowden to be a whistleblower. Months before he leaked the classified documents, he heard the head of the NSA outright lie, under oath, about the use of surveillance techniques. “Surveillance technologies have outpaced democratic controls,” he said. Surveillance used to be too expensive to use much. Now, he said, one guy at the NSA can track with extreme precision a large number of people. “It’s become technologically and financially feasible to track people.”

Intelligence agencies and authorities: How do we trust intelligence agencies and officials to operate fairly? We can’t, he said. Governments should establish judicial bodies with independent prosecutorial discretion to monitor these agencies and to prosecute any illegalities. “The only thing that will ensure they play fairly is the threat of criminal sanctions,” said Snowden. They need to be held accountable. And the law has been failing as a guarantor of our rights, he said.

The U.S. election: He’s very disappointed that the United States is going through an entire election cycle which has focused on the personalities of the candidates – with no mention of the Constitution. In any case, people should be cautious about putting all their hopes on any one political figure because they rarely deliver what they promise, Snowden said. “You can’t rely on others to do the things we must do ourselves,” he said. “If you want a better country, you’re going to have to build it yourself.”

Well now that it actually has happened and Donald Trump is the news president of the USA (fuck ya!), I wonder how you guys feel is will affect Canada. Here's a few things I think could happen:

-Approval of the Keystone pipeline: From what I can tell, most of the work will be benefit the Americans (pipeline work and increased refining state side) more than us but we will certainly benefit by an increase in production (extraction) and some upgrading within Alberta.

-Increased/better trade for Canada: Many Canadians seem to forget that under Obama's administration, our trade was negatively impacted especially in the early years when Obama implemented a "Buy American" policy that left many Canadian companies out of the bidding. We've also been fucked around regarding soft wood lumber and steel deals. I haven't heard Trump bitching about trades deals with Canada (only Mexico), but he has mentioned North American energy independence and hopefully Canada plays a role in that. Also, based on Dr Howard's recent post about or trade minister's recent performance on the CETA trade deal, maybe its time for a cabinet shuffle.

-A return to icy relations political relations: This all depends on Trudeau's leadership and I"m not too optimistic that he'll play it well. WE could see a return to Liberal politicians saying some smug and downright nasty things about Trump and his administration just as Liberal MP Carrolyn Parish did back in the Chretien days, hopefully we don't. Trudeau will likely continue portraying him as the "Anti-Trump", a compassionate, caring, bilingual, bi-curious smug Canadian dickweed.

Environmental movement: It appears that PM Zoolander is going forth with his carbon tax so we'll see where that takes us but it looks like Trump won't have time for these absurd measures to tax the hell out of carbon emitting industries. The energy industry in the US is going to explode while Canada sits around and watches, hopefully us Canuck tradesmen can go south to work.

Anyway that's all I have for predictions, Canada really does need to act quickly to best position itself to be ready for a ride on the Trump train, if Trudeau takes a serious leadership position he actually could make some great deals and alliances with the US that would really benefits all Canadians. I don't have my hopes up though as I think Trudeau is an idiot so I"m also considering applying for a green card!

Mulcair is such a weasel, criticizing Trump with SJW buzzwords. Calling him MR.Trump and not president elect

At least Trudeau understands his diplomatic responsibility

Sweet Mother of Pearl. Trudeau is doing his best to kill Canada.

Illegal Mexicans in the USA are going to flee to Canada. Why? Troolander just made a deal with Mexico that as of Dec 1, Mexicans will no longer need a visa to enter Canada. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-m...-1.3845957

Between the mexicans and the syrians Canada will be an alternate universe that americans can look at and think 'so thats how america would have looked like if Hillary won'

I came across a good article from the Financial Post that explains how a Trump presidency is a far better scenario for the Canadian economy than a Hillary presidency.

http://business.financialpost.com/fp-com...for-canada

Some good quotes:

Quote:Take heart, Canada! Don’t let the dour faces on American television journalists, Twitterati and our own CBC get you down. They might all be miserably contemplating the next four years under the ethically challenged but transformational Donald Trump, instead of the ethically challenged establishment-entrenched Hillary Clinton they clearly hoped would win. Tuesday might have delivered a huge loss to the political class, intellectual class and left-leaning media. But, economically speaking anyway, Donald Trump’s victory is looking like a big win for Canada.

---

A president Hillary Clinton would have implemented policies that would have been sure to drag down the economic growth of an economy upon which Canada overwhelmingly relies for its own

---

All of these were growth-killing policies overlooked by Canadian pundits who prioritized their distaste for Trump’s vulgarity and jingoism over the prospect of a robust American economy that could help Canada enhance its own prosperity. The U.S. GDP has been growing at not much more than two per cent a year for over a decade, much to Canada’s economic detriment; under Clinton, that seemed bound to continue

---

But however unrealistic or even loopy you might understandably think Trump’s proposals and opinions are about immigration, NATO, Russia and the Federal Reserve, his election platform was profoundly more geared toward reviving American growth than was Clinton’s — and that spells good economic news for us.

I bookmarked this article and will be sharing it with friends.

If Trump stays true to his commit to deport illegals en masse, I think that this could actually be a benefit to Canada and we should take some of them in. When most of us think of illegal aliens, we think of some non-English speaking, uneducated dude seeking manual day labour gigs for cash at the local hardware store. Of course a lot of them fit this description but there are many of them who although they came to the US illegally or overstayed their visas, were educated in the US and have US work experience that Canada could use to our advantage. I met a few deported Colombians who were sent back due to paper work, including some pretty hot chicks, many of them worked at US call centres in Bogota for a few bucks an hour and I always thought that it was a huge waste that these young people were sent back but that's the way she goes!

John McCallum was recently in the news telling us that the Liberals want to drastically increase the amount of immigrants to Canada to boost our economy: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-i...-1.3825548

Quote:Canada is expected to "substantially" boost the number of immigrants it welcomes to the country each year, but experts warn that any increase must be matched with more robust resettlement assistance.
The new levels will seek to offset projected demographic challenges in Canada, including an aging population and growing labour gaps. In 2016, the target was to permit 300,000 newcomers to the country.
The government's economic growth advisory council has recommended ramping up immigration levels to 450,000 people a year over the next five years, with a focus on skilled, highly educated and business-oriented people. McCallum has suggested that target may be overly ambitious, but said the government will "substantially" raise the number.

Out of the potentially millions of Latinos who face deportation from the US over the coming few years, I'm sure that more than a few of them would pass our point system and make fine Canadian citizens and would assimilate well into Canadian society. Of course, those US bred Latinos would probably think that Trudeau's Canada is a cesspool of socialism and would end up voting Tory so it'll probably never happen haha, better to import 3rd world illiterate goat herders who will vote Liberal!

^^ What if they come in by the millions?

And WTF. Supposedly Canada has strict immigration laws. So now he's going to go against our system even further by making it so that any Mexican can come over, just because they're Mexican?

What's wrong with a system that guarantees we're getting the quality ones, that are willing to work hard and contribute to the economy, and assimilate to Canadian living?

Clearly there's no filter planned for Mexicans. Money to buy a flight, you can come.

This is BS.

Easy fix: make them all live in Saskatchewan.
