RE:RE:RE:Fwiw, CBC is in fact covering the military training storyas usual, good points. Agree Covid is a different tale, but Harper had the financial crisis to deal with, a similar issue. History will tell whether all of the financial response to Covid was required. Think it will find the intent was well meaning but that billions of dollar of CERB and Old age pension payments that were sent to people landed in the accounts of people who didn't neeed it. Was it 800,000 people received Cerb were living in thier parents basements , or were in households with ongoing incomes of over 100,000K?. REv canada could have run a few queries to figure that out. I was one of those pensioners that recieved special one time payment (300$ I think) and I was about to send it back when my wife reminded me I'd probably easily pay that in ongoing carbon taxes from the 'Canada save the world from climate change' initiatives. The latest carbon tax increase announcement is another example of him breaking promises. Think Trudeau gave BB 100 milion for something. Chen did say he never asked for a penny, so not sure why that was needed. As for Trump, he is a vulgar buffoon who needs to leave ASAP. He should get checked for mental challenges. But he and Trudeau are in very similar places on the Honesty, integrity and character scale. And its a very low place. A few of Trudeaus highlights: trying to hide the 10.5 milllion $ payout to convicted terrorist Khadr, then doing a witch hunt to try to find out who leaked the news because he knew the vast majority of Canadians would disagree wwith it.. Hanging out with the terrorist loviing Boyle, Gropping a woman who later outed him and his answer is 'she must have it experienced it differently that I did". Technically I wont say he lied there, as I'm sure her butt felt it differently than his hand did. The SNC affair was a great example of putting himself before the law of the land. First he claims he and the PMO did nothing to interfere with Rayboulds decision to not give SNC a Deffered Prosecution Agreement. Then, when outed on that lie, claims he was trying to save Canadian jobs, when the CEO of SNC himself said that was BS, that no jobs would be lost. Then he strips Rabould of her job when she won't comply with his wishes. All she was trying to do was not give break to a company that had previously been convicted of the same charge , bribery, and learned nothing. Justins view of Justice, if a convicted bank robber gets let out after doing time , and is charged again , don't bother charging him, he won't learn anything. On the international front, not sure why you take a person previously convicted of attempted murder on a diplomatic mission to India. Won't even bother with the WE affair. We may never know because of all the peroging of parliament and committee fillibustering what happened there. But we do know te stench of the affair was enough that many large school board and businesses pulled their support for WE after llistening to early facts . WE has closed Canadian operations. Too bad, one of my kids went on a WE sponsored rebuild event in Equador. Thanks Justin . Unfortunately our currrent leader is no different than Trump with regards to ethics, truth and character. Terrible example for todays youth (those paying atttention) Cheers - lets hope for a good week for BB..
