Trudeau is in real trouble. He has now lost two very high profile members of his government - both highly respected for intelligence and honesty. And that means Canada is now in real trouble. The Liberals have not been an impressive government. But their collapse at this point could well bring to power a Conservative party that is even worse.

Think hard. Our very wealthy don't pay taxes. None. Zero. Zilch. So how can cutting their taxes create jobs?
It can't. It never has and it never will. This is the kind of lame-brain politics that Trump specializes in, too. He routinely talks about how he has created jobs in the U.S. The truth is that jobs in the U.S. are in decline. So is the size of weekly pay cheques for the working class. That has been happening for a long time thanks to job automation.
What we are watching is a decline in working class incomes and in general purchasing power. Well, of course. How could it be otherwise? The wealthy are avoiding their taxes by hiding their money overseas. They take uncounted billions away and hide them. That doesn't and can't create jobs. On the contrary, it destroys them.
They take monster sums OUT of the country and hide them. And that twit, Jason-Kenney, wants to do it even more?
And the sad thing is that many people actually believe the nonsense spouted by the Kenneys and the Trumps (and the Fords as in my home province of Ontario.) In countries where we have thousands living in the streets and millions living in poverty, we pat billionaires on the head as we tuck more billions into their pockets.

Here is a calmer-than-usual look at the Lavalin-Trudeau affair. I agree with it. But, unlike the columnist, I'm not at all sure Trudeau will survive this.

From World War One to almost 1950, Iran was controlled by Britain And Britain plundered it for its oil. All the profits went to British capitalists. Worse, Iran was required to provide oil for all of the ships of the Royal Navy - free. And, of course, Iran was not allowed to have elections.
Then Iran sinned. It held a democratic election. And it set out to control its own oil industry.
Britain was furious - but not strong enough to invade. It had to call on the U.S. for help. The U.S. was pleased to do so seeing this as a chance to cheat both Britain and Iran out of all that oil. The elected government of Iran was dismissed by that lover of democracy - the U.S, - and replaced by a puppet shah (king). And the U.S. then owned Iran oil. So the Iranians kicked out the shah, and took back their own country.
Ever since, Iran has been evil in the western news media. (Gee. Sounds something like Venezuela.)

In 1939, Britain was the owner of the biggest and most profitable empire in world history. (and perhaps the most murderous). When I was in school we saluted the British flag every morning.
But the empire collapsed soon after 1945. Now it is possible that soon Britain, itself, and it's flag may no longer exist.

It's a nice thought. But I'm not at all sure about the prophecy of this next itme. The Liberals and Conservatives have been on the take for 152 years (and years before that). And they are still the major parties of Canada. (Canadian voters, like American ones, can be very slow to get real.)
Nor am I convinced the NDP would offer any change great enough to make a difference. The creation of the NDP was built on the rubble of a CCF that had pretty strong principles. And the NDP wimped itself by leaving those principles behind.

Judaism, by any standard, is a quite remarkable faith. And we don't do that faith any favors when we pretend not to see the damage that Israel has done to it. There is nothing Judaic about people who steal the land of others, and who murder them and abuse them.

The Australians were, of course, British. So were the Americans who slaughtered their native peoples. Of course. George Washington was not a new breed. He was British.
Of course, and unlike Australia, we cover up the viciousness of our British (and French) ancestors - just as the U.S. does. Thus all the Hollywood movies about cowboys fighting off vicious native peoples.
Actually, the British did even worse in places like India and China where they worked and starved millions to death..

As I write these blogs it becomes obvious to me. Adolph Hitler was a small timer.
The British Empire was far more murderous and thieving than Nazi Germany ever was. While Hitler piddled around in Europe, Britain had been plundering much of the world with mass murders, with slavery, with starvation in the hundreds of millions. Hitler came nowhere close to the British record to its evil.
The United States has been at war almost all of its history. It slaughtered its native peoples, stole half of Mexico, invaded Latin America, murdering uncounted numbers of its people and maintaining the Latin American countries as virtual slave operations for the benefit of American billionaires. After 1945, it failed in its big goal to murder, plunder, abuse the people of China. It also tried but failed to take Vietnam, North Korea and, now, Afghanistan and, disguised as a voluntary quitting after victory, it is withdrawing from Syria, (a posture that ignores the fact that the U.S. did not go to Syria to help it but to defeat it.)
Indeed, given its size and the money that it can pour into its military, the U.S. has been amazingly feeble in its major wars since 1945. This is unlike the British Empire which was just as greedy and murderous as the U.S. but which, unlike the U.S., knew how to win wars.
So what's coming?
Watch for a growing concern of the U.S. as climate change dramatically moves its population away from climatic danger zones. American capitalists are going to demand that neighbouring countries be generous to their fleeing people. And their target will be Canada as the neighbour suffering the least from climate change.
The U.S. is not our friend. The U.S. has no friends. (In fact, most countries have no friends.) It has invaded Canada several times, threatened invasion in 1904, and retained invasion plans until at least the 1930s.
Canada is next door to a U.S. that has invaded almost every country in the Americas. Don't kid yourself about being friends. The U.S. is ruled by its capitalists, a group as murderous as was Nazi Germany at its peak. (Okay. It still has a bit to go to beat the Nazi British Empire.)
