"When you let politicians decide what can be bought or sold, the first thing to be bought and sold will be politicians" Heard that a year or so ago and think it was incredibly apt for the times we are in!

I see Trudeau has doubled the national debt since taking office and the current budget projects another 40 Billion in debt accumulation. One has to wonder where all this leads, are Canadians liable for this mess and at what point is nearly every Western nation insolvent and who is the rightful owner at that point? To use an example, lets say every farmer in your area borrowed from FCC(Farm Credit Canada) but only ever paid interest. In fact they kept making more loans for additional equipment and inputs until the debt was more than the assets. At that point, or even earlier if the loan was called like happened in the 80's, FCC basically would own everything in the area. Not sure where one goes to find a responsible government. When searching debt-free countries a handful of very small islands and countries I never heard of came up along with a couple in Europe and Russia. Canada is so poorly managed, we have so many natural resources and a relatively low population. Almost like we are being milked...

Here is the question that matters If the Conservatives win, will they reverse any of the liberal implemented policies over the last 8 years that has so many citizens upset enough to want change.
My guess is not many. Some token things but stuff like massive immigration, obscene health care spending, totally unaccountable, spending sent to other countries because it is what we are supposed to do while ignoring the lack of funding at home.
Will Conservatives put back statues taken down, put a halt to the damage of colonization mantra, stop the race based government policies, recognize the human race actually has two genders. How about eliminate deficit spending and even enact a law to make sure it can't occur. Take up where Harper left off with a elected senate so that our democracy is actually using some democratic principles. Maybe make a law that elected representatives can't be persecuted by the party for voting their beleifs instead of party line.

On my ride home from falcon lake I listened to the Roy green show on Cjob. He sure gave it to the prime minister about the carbon tax. Two issues really stood out ! One was Saskatchewan s objection to give Trudeau the carbon tax . It has amounted to 50 million . Trudeau tried to tell the cra to forcefully take the money but the attorney general of Saskatchewan taught that notion . Trudeaus liberals even suggested jail time to some of Scott moes ministers if they did not cooperate . Boy is that dirty or what ! Good on Scott to fight Trudeau ! Trudeau that weasel ! Second issue Roy addressed was the idea to tax cattle methane gas . It is tried in Denmark . I can’t believe Trudeau is so stupid he would tax cow farts !! Can someone pinch me if that is real ? Well that is on trudeaus mind. More specifically it is the government saying we don’t want you eating meat . Here Knaw on this carrot ! I hope people realize what is going on here . It was never about climate change ! It was about complete udder control of your life! Ohhh that dictator makes me mad !

Yes, it is all about control. Everything our so called free world governments have done over the last 80 years is about control. Everything. And it is why I say political party doesn't matter, because it is very easy to see where the new party in power does nothing to revert back a scenario where previous government pushed further ahead with taking away freedoms. There is always some new event to pop up and say the citizens are in danger so governments must assert more control. So many examples I won't even begin.

Here is a 15 minute video with Whitney Webb, she sums up the Blackrock agenda, which should make everyone very nervous:

What a farce. Not the Liberals specifically, but what our "government" is.
So government decided to pass legislation to move for binding arbitration. I assume that means there were far to many variables in play for them to have their ducks in a row weeks before hand. That vast expanse of variables include: 1) a contract will be settled 2) a contract won't be settled
Yes, to much up in the air to have a path determined before hand.
Now, it goes to the Canada Industrial Relations Board, who also found themselves with the same vast array of possibilities. And so were totally unprepared as to how this could possibly all play out and so now that government made a decision, the CIRB must take time to figure out how it will proceed. Could be hours, could be days. Because who could have seen any of this coming to develop a plan beforehand.
And once CIRB does act, then we see if the unions actually agree to what was stated.
There really isn't too much for specifics on these things, it would be nice if our "news" would actually lay this all out in a clear and concise matter as to how the process works. As far as I can tell the stoppage is not actually ended yet, a few steps are needed.
In a real world, or at least the business world I worked in, people already had plans made to cover all possibilities, but with our "government" (and CIRB) we are told this is too complicated and instead have to wait and see how it plays out before figuring out the next possible step.

What if I said I am not surprised? While the CIRB, caught totally off gaurd by the government back to work legislation, and so apparently just starting to have meetings to decide what it should do in response, the union has given strike notice. ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/2099188/teamsters-union-serves-cn-rail-with-72-hour-strike-notice-as-cpkc-stoppage-ongoingI am expecting a 7 to 10 day period with no rail movement. Could be longer. It definitely wasn't going to be a one day stoppage. If that were the case then that would mean everyone involved would have had their plans made and the response would have been minutes. Not "well, we have to wait and see how some things play out before we decide to do what we already decided we were going to do". How is our Socialist CPC responding to all this? Probably as flakey as the rest of the government, since they are part of the government.
