Fuck Carney.

We don’t need Poilievre 2.0, we need leadership.

Translation:“Give me everything I want or else I’ll keep pourimg gasoline on the separstist fire.”

Marlaina can rot in hell with her fellow traitors.

“That crowd” that he created.

Kenney STARTED the ‘sovereign Alberta’ rhetoric. He lit the fire under the separatist movement in order to start more fights with Ottawa.

That dirty littly fucker is an amoral compulsive liar and a hypocrite. The only thing he really believes is his constant status as victim.

Jason Kenney deserves to be running scared for his life.

Good.

Heads should roll at CAS for failing to keep these poor kids safe, but the couple are sadistic psychopaths. I hope they rot in an overcrowded jail for the rest of their lives.

Then fuckin’ do something, Mark!

The UCP has been complicit in every aspect of separatism since Kenney took office. Smith is a close personal friend of Parker, head of the Centurion project implicated here, as well as Take Back Alberta. He is also on the hook for over $100k in fines for illegal election lobbying, which he proudly refuses to pay.

Get these fuckers in court, and get them in jail. Get Rath & co. arrested for treason. Get Smith charged for violating the Health Care Act.

For fuck’s sake, stop being ‘concerned’ and ACT!

Zed. Zee is horrible.

Stand proud, Embrace Zed.

Thank you for (a) insulting me, (b) belittling me, © providing incorrect information, (d) building a straw man, and (e) making an unrelated and silly conclusion.

Even if they did, he wouldn’t know and wouldn’t be able to benefit from it - unless there was an incredible amount of criminal fraud happening.

Well that’s something of a circular argument.

It’s absolutely true that placing investments in a blind trust isn’t divestment - but I didn’t really see why they considered full divestment (rather than a blind trust) necessary in the first place. The article made is sound like the committee just declared that as their goal.

Regardless, the public disclosure on a broader scale of politicians is a great idea. We deserve to see that.

I agree with what you say here, but my original question was why he should be forced to sacrifice the investments he had before he was in power - and why putting them in a blind trust is insufficient to keep him from profiting from his decisions as PM.

THANK YOU!

This is the first substantive reason that anyone has given. I hadn’t thought about deferred maturation.

That said, if they can’t be exercised, that usually means he can’t fully divest himself of them, so he’d be facing the same issue.

In either case, I guess the answer would have to be something like setting a fixed payment structure on them (maybe tied to a TSX index).

At the extreme end, forcing him to abandon all non-vested options wouldn’t be the end of the world.

So the PM can’t have any investments?

This seems like overkill to me. Are they supposed to take the full capital gains hit and then stuff their money in a bank account while they’re PM?

What is insufficient about a blind trust?

“Look, the egregious gerrymandering we’re obviously doing isn’t really gerrymandering at all, it’s just…alternative partitioning that happens to give us a majorty government and nullify the influence of cities.”

Fuck Ford, fuck her racist bullshit, and fuck her charter school where Derek Fildebrandt’s kid(s?) attend.

As soon as this was announced, gas in Calgary jumped up 12 cents.

Fuck that teacher. She needs to get out of education and work for Jason Kenney’s brother or somewhere else her shitty opinion will be applauded.

Silk Road Spice Merchant, out of Calgary.

Not only do they carry top-tier spices, but they likely have multiple types of black pepper for you to play with. And they’re good people.

Cannot speak highly enough about them.

Not by a long shot.

The fact that only two parties swap leadership back and forth is true, but we frequently have minority governments in Canada; and thst means third parties can act as the deciding factor, and bring pressure on the sitting government.

The reason that the Liberals and the CPC hate the idea of PR is that it would just about end the prospect of majority governments.

I’m convinced that Poilievre is there to be so terrible that the opposition rallies around a single leader/party (Carney ATM), and squeezes out the alternative (NDP).

In other words, his job isn’t to win, it’s to turn Canada into a two-party system.

Alberta here. Fuck yes! The premise of DST is stupid. Changing twice a year is more stupider.

Abolish it forever and move to standard time.
