He doesn't like Papa Trudeau or multiculturalism.

wikipedia posted:

Trudeau's Cabinet fulfilled Part IV of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism's report by announcing a "Multiculturalism Policy" on October 8, 1971. This statement recognized that while Canada was a country of two official languages, it recognized a plurality of cultures – "a multicultural policy within a bilingual framework".

Apparently some white nationalist group was trying to organize a rally on UofT's campus on Sept 14th? UoT came out and said they have no booking and contacted the Facebook group and asked them to remove UoT as a location for the rally.

They're likely still showing up and close to or immediately tied to Peterson, who has been way more openly palling with the fash of late.

I'm hoping that any further white supremacist rallies in Canada go the way of the one the SOO did here where there was like a handful of them and multitudes more counter protestors so they just went home. I'd rather not see this country turned into a warzone.

A major contractor for the Site C dam has gone into receivership. Turns out the incredibly responsible, business savvy and forward-thinking BC Liberal government handed large chunks of this VITAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT representing 100 YEARS OF CLEAN ENERGY and THOUSANDS OF JOBS to a barely fiscally solvent company with a nearly $100 million deficit on its books.

This development has apparently been completely blacked out by major Canadian news outlets including the left winged marxist CBC.

Yeah it isn't a coincidence that this "manifesto" is structured and worded nearly identically to the Nazi Party platform, also known as the 25 point Program. I guess with only 21 points they're not quite as ambitious as Hitler was.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Program#The_full_text_of_the_25_point_program



Personally my favourite is how they devoted an entire point to attacking Omar Khadr. Like, almost 5% of their entire platform is dedicated to how mad they are at one guy for confessing to crimes after a decade of torture.

A rock has no detectable opinion about gravity
On my limited experience, I found that Angus makes skillful rousing speeches... but still lacks a detailed policy platform that goes beyond "let's be stick together". At this stage of the leadership campaign it's disappointing not to have it clearly detailed online.

Also not a fan of Suzuki. At a grad student event maybe 10-15 years ago we booked several prominent guest speakers on various topics and I remember Suzuki asking for a lot of money beyond airfare, good hotel, and good meals. Way more than we could budget. So we had a Gairdner winner instead.

"Tiny Trains"

-Charlie Angus feels like another Mulcair, another toothless centrist out to have some safe sensible progressive policies but nothing to offend anyone, specially not rurals or suburban boomers or the job creators.
-Niki Ashton has some good policies, but the few areas she decides to be a little more "radical" or outspoken on she manages to frame in a very "tumblr discussion" sort language that it paints her as a cringe inducing "SJW" to most people , she's the opposite of Angus in that only urban millennials take her seriously.
-Jagmeet Singh feels like the NDP's answer to Trudeau. Gushing with style and progressive soundbites but yet another milquetoast vague centre-left platform.

And it's not just the candidates, it's the party, it's the entire NDP machine is uninspiring to the core at an institutional level. They keep playing it safe and focusing on winning votes and convincing people they're a respectable party rather than building a movement and winning actual change. Maybe I'm being unfair, maybe I haven't done enough research or poured over every candidate press release or quote from a rally, but as a Canadian leftist they haven't done anything to get me interested or excited and that seems to be the shared sentiments with all my NDP friends as well, even the die hards who work for the party. It's a real universal "meh" when it comes to the leadership race.

Alberta MLA Derek Fildebrandt facing 2016 hit-and-run charge :munch:

quote:

Amy Rawlinson was sitting on the ground floor balcony of her downtown Edmonton condo one morning in June 2016 when she said she saw a neighbour walk out to his red Ford F-150 half-ton truck, back into her company van with a loud bang — and then drive away.

As Rawlinson would later testify in court, she knew the neighbour from seeing him around the condo but did not know his name. She came to learn it was current United Conservative Party MLA Derek Fildebrandt.

Although his trial for hit and run is ongoing and Fildebrandt has yet to present his evidence, this most recent revelation may render even more precarious his already tenuous tenure within the UCP caucus. Through a UCP spokesperson, Fildebrandt declined to comment.

Last week, the fiscal firebrand, a former Alberta director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, was outed for renting his government-subsidized downtown condo on Airbnb. Initially defiant, Fildebrandt claimed the controversy was a political smear.

MLA says he repaid rent collected

But as the bonfire began to singe the entire party, Fildebrandt issued a mea culpa, said he would send a cheque in the amount of $2,555, the money he earned from the sublets, to the province. He then took a leave from his role as finance critic and left for Europe on what he said was a planned family vacation.

Then earlier this week, Alberta Party Leader Greg Clark released records that suggested Fildebrandt claimed food expenses while also claiming per diems for the same meals. Fildebrandt blamed the double-billing — $192.60 over more than two years — on "administrative errors" but said he took full responsibility for the mistakes and would reimburse any discrepancies.

A statement released Monday from UCP interim leader Nathan Cooper, however, indicated caucus was losing patience.

"These expense claims are concerning and appear to be part of a larger pattern of behaviour that is unacceptable for a member of the United Conservative Party caucus," the statement said.
