Why didn't she bring up the thing that he was "male" that's even more damning?

And totally socially acceptable to say!

[Victoria Watcher]

Indeed.


The official Liberal Party account tweeted “Add Women Change Politics” and called Wang an incredible candidate just hours before this story broke.

Andrew Coyne: Ex-Liberal candidate’s only crime was engaging in ethnic politics — out loud

he’s pretty spot on here.

A handgun ban is reportedly on the way.

 

More virtue signalling from the 'progressive elite' targeting the myth of the handgun on the urban latte crowd. There are so many restrictions in place regarding legal handguns already. I dont know the last time a legally registered Canadian handgun was identified as being used in a crime. 99.999% OF handguns encountered are illegal and smuggled across from the US....

National Post is reporting that the Liberals plan to go on the attack against Scheer by calling him the $6 Million Man, following Trudeau's recent gaff and subsequent attack by the Conservatives that he's a wealthy elitist out of touch with average Canadians.

 

The Liberals, NP says, are crafting their attack on Scheer's life-long political career and the money he's earned while working as a politician.

 

Hmmm. I bet many lower middle class Canadians are themselves million dollar men and women if they were to add up their life-long earnings, which the Liberals believe is a serious response to accusations of Trudeau being born into an upper class family.

When a liberal has a lifelong career in politics or government they are proudly called a devoted public servant.

Office of the Premier Statement on reconciliation process between Province and Office of the Wet’suwet’en

The Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs, Premier John Horgan and Scott Fraser, Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation, have issued the following statement to mark the start of a new reconciliation process:

The Office of the Wet’suwet’en and Province of British Columbia are committed to explore a path forward together, government-to-government, that seeks to build trust over time and meaningfully advance reconciliation. This process has emerged from decades of denial of Wet’suwet’en rights and title. Both parties believe that the time has come to engage in meaningful nation-to-nation discussions with the goal of B.C. affirming Wet’suwet’en rights and title.

The Office of the Wet’suwet’en and Province are undertaking a process focused on Wet’suwet’en title, rights, laws and traditional governance throughout the Wet’suwet’en Yintah, or territory.

Our discussions will be guided by Wet’suwet’en law, the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and Canadian jurisprudence, including the Supreme Court of Canada’s Delgamuukw Gisday’ Wa decision. We stress that our commitment to lasting reconciliation is not connected to any specific project. These discussions are not transactional, but a real commitment to reconciliation.

To support this work, the Province has appointed Murray Rankin as B.C.’s representative to help guide and design the process between the Province and the Office of the Wet’suwet’en. Mr. Rankin, a lawyer and mediator, has an understanding of the Supreme Court’s historic Delgamuukw Gisday’ Wa decision and an abiding commitment to better understand the history and current reality of the Wet’suwet’en people.

As a key step in creating this new foundation for reconciliation, the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs will host a bahtlats (potlatch or feast) in March 2019 to share information and initiate discussion with the Wet’suwet’en Clans and House groups. The goal is to involve all in this dialogue. The bahtlats is an established governance and decision-making process under Wet’suwet’en hereditary leadership protocols. This work builds on discussions that have been ongoing since the Premier and minister visited the territory last August. A public announcement will follow after the official commencement of our discussions.

We all recognize that the path forward will involve challenges. It will take a willingness to innovate and take bold steps together. This engagement is a historic opportunity to advance Wet’suwet’en self-determination and self-governance, and for the Province and Wet’suwet’en Nation to establish a deeper relationship based on respect and recognition of rights.

...and now there’s SNC Lavalin.

I can’t imagine the current government can withstand such a serious scandal but nothing surprises me any more.

[Victoria Watcher]

the latest leadership poll in Quebec has Trudeau miles ahead. Like 44, 18 scheer 10 NDP 8 people’s party

I’m not sure snc lav people care about.

[Mike K.]

I don't think most people even know what's going on yet, regarding SNC.

I wouldn't read that into the release. Lawyers in BC have raked in a billion plus dollars over the past few decades "negotiating" treaties with FN that never seem to get resolved. I wouldn't suspect that this role would take much of Rankin's time.

If the allegations are remotely true, this is way, way worse than the sponsorship scandal.

a national post article today or yesterday says it's an unpaid position and rankin is still mulling over running again.

the problem is that the scandal is over some libya dealings so not very close to home for people to understand.
