Common Sense Canadians Crush the Moonbats in Alberta…


A massive defeat for the left-wing loons in Alberta Canada now means half the Canadian provinces are aligned against Justin’s rainbow-socks coalition and disastrous climate agenda.  Apparently having a common sense approach now means ‘right-of-center‘.

CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) – A right-of-center party swept to power in Canada’s main oil-producing province of Alberta on Tuesday and attacked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s efforts to fight climate change, raising tension just months ahead of a federal election.

The United Conservative Party (UCP) of Jason Kenney, which had led in the polls for months, crushed the left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP) government of Rachel Notley amid frustration over the economy and a beleaguered energy industry.

Kenney’s victory means governments in five of the 10 provinces now oppose Trudeau’s plans to combat global warming, which look set to be a major theme of the October election. (more)

The real-world effect of having an anti-business outlook is starting to have a real impact, and not just on massive corporations.  As Manny from Ottawa points out, even the smaller Canadian firms are giving up and heading to the more pro-business U.S.A.  In this example 240 Canadian jobs are moving…

(Truro, Nova Scotia) […] “Earlier today, we informed our employees that Tarkett North America will be closing our manufacturing plant in Truro, Nova Scotia, effective July 16, 2019,” the company said Tuesday afternoon in an email to Mills, Colchester County Mayor Christine Blair and other stakeholders.

“As one of our valued stakeholders, we wanted to share that this was not an easy decision and it is not a reflection of the caliber of work done by our Truro team,” the company said in a statement issued through the National Consulting Group.

“A business decision has been made and our manufacturing operations will be relocating to Dalton, Georgia.”

The company has sister operations in Georgia and Mills said one of the reasons he has heard for the move is to improve operational efficiencies. (more)

France v Netherlands


Armstrong Economics Blog/European Union

COMMENT: I had to laugh your comment that the EU pretends to be a happy family but they are still nationalistic no matter what they say. The Dutch bid to buy Air France is just the tip of the iceberg as you say.

Thank you

HS

REPLY: You are absolutely correct. The Dutch government’s bid to buy a stake in Air France-KLM provoked an amazing outrage in Paris from the government. French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire called it “incomprehensible and unprecedented.” His statement on that issue reveals everything I have been saying about the nonsense going on in Europe. No matter what they say about federalizing Europe, deep down the politicians themselves show the inherent resentment that still lingers and will never die. The EU must abandon this idea that one government will prevent a European war. It is actually encouraging it. It should remain simply as a federation, consolidate the debts, let that be the Eurobond, and then abandon the ECB’s one policy fits all and let each nation function with their own budgets as the states do in the USA.

How the Rule of Law is Always Political


The British Parliament is exposing itself and how corrupt the real rule of law has become. They had no problem extraditing Julian Assange to the USA for exposing the corruption in the US government, but when Bill Browder was sought by Russia for criticizing Putin, suddenly it is political. Westminster has demanded the head of Interpol appear before them and explain if they are being manipulated by Putin to allow Russia to see the extradition of Bill Browder on various charges. There is no rule of law. If the Brits hand over Assange while protecting Bill Browder, it illustrates that the government is just not trustworthy on anything.

British Parliament Adopts New Face for Big Ben

The New Brexit Party in Britain May Be Underestimated


Nigel Farage led the Ukip party to victory in the last EU elections in 2014. They won 24 MEPs and brough BREXIT to the forefront, however, Nigel split from Ukip when it turned a hard right. Seven MPs have followed Nigel and switched to the newly-formed Brexit Party after PM Theresa May refused to listen and turned to the Labour Party to try to keep her deal on the table. This new party was just formed in April and it is seeking to simply exit the EU as the people previously voted.

The Brexit Party is a Eurosceptic, pro-Brexit, political party in the UK. As of April 2019, the party’s representation consists of nine members of the European Parliament, all of whom were originally elected as UK Independence Party (UKIP) candidates. Nigel Farage has announced he would stand as a candidate for the party in any future European Parliament elections in the event the UK has not already left the European Union. The last straw was simply when Prime Minister Theresa May asked Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn for Brexit talks in a bid to reach a compromise on her deal to trump her own party.

The French President Emmanuel Macron is looking to humiliate Britain by demanding that any extension result in Britain forfeiting all rights to vote in the EU. He has also come out and declared that BREXIT could damage Anglo-French relations for years if he forces Britain out of the European Union against the wishes of Parliament.

The political chaos in Europe is just off the charts as we head into May. This is seriously altering the capital flows by sending capital fleeing the EU by the billions. We have shown this chart before. This was compiled using the British government’s own statistics. Britain entered a protracted economic decline after it joined the EU. It makes no economic sense to remain.

 

Erdogan Demands Recounts


Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP) have demanded recounts in 39 districts that they lost and have prevailed on eight. There has been great concern that Erdogan’s AKP will not accept defeat at the hand of any vote. Many fear there is an undercurrent of tyranny rising behind the curtain.

Most British Now Just Want to Leave with NO DEAL – Get out while they can the polls show


Perhaps there is some new plague that only affect politicians on a global scale. It seem no matter what country we look at, it is simply going completely insane. Americans rarely understand Parliamentary politics in London for it is not unusual for Trump to meet with Chuck and Nancy in the White House. In British politics, there is no pretend bipartisanship where there are meetings between the parties. The structural difference in a Parliamentary system is that the ruling party controls everything and the opposition party might as well just go on holiday.

Here the mere fact that Prime Minister Theresa May is meeting with the head of the Labour Party is earth-shattering to say the least. It illustrates that May will not compromise for it is very clear that she will not yield to her own people and is attempting to force the EU demands down everyone’s throat.

The latest polls show that the majority of British have had enough. They just want to exit the EU without any deal whatsoever. There is absolutely NOTHING top gain from am EU deal. Britain will be the major loser and it will surrender its sovereignty in the process.

This is going to make for an extraordinary interesting WEC in Rome. Our model has been projecting political chaos but even this has scored I believe new record high in political incompetence. PM May was against BREXIT from the outset. She has refused to negotiate a fair deal for Britain and in the process she is dooming her own country.

Trudeau Demands Compliance – Exiles Wilson-Raybould and Philpott From Political Party…


Political events in Canada are revealing new levels of leftist collectivism.  The fallout from the SNC-Lavalin bribery/corruption scandal continues to expose just how far the modern left will go in order to demand absolute compliance and protect their political interests.

[Backstory Here – and Here – and Here – and Here]

Yesterday Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau banished former Ministers Jody Wilson-Raybould (statement here) and Jane Philpott (statement here) from the Liberal Caucus, for non-compliant behavior. Both women exposed how Trudeau demanded the Attorney General drop a criminal prosecution to serve his political interests.

Today Ms. Raybould and Ms. Philpott responded to the heavy handed tactics during a press conference.  The former Attorney General stated: “I knew something very dangerous and wrong was going to happen.”  Canada is FUBAR.

Jody Wilson-Raybould

@Puglaas

Reflecting on what PM has done, my thoughts are w/ my constituents in , my dedicated staff & volunteers, my family & friends & all Canadians who believed in a new way of doing politics. I will take the time to reflect & talk to my supporters about what happens next. (1/2)

3,395 people are talking about this

Justin from Canada delivered remarks last night announcing the banishment of Ms. Wilson-Raybould and Ms. Philpott while informing the liberal caucus they now have an obligation to attack the exiled cabinet ministers as enemies. WATCH:

There are predictable parallels here…

PM May to Join Left Against Her Own Party?


Anyone who wants to understand why the dollar is the only game in town, all they need do is look at the politics in Europe. It is just absurd. In Britain, Prime Minister Theresa May simply REFUSES to abandon her BREXIT plan no matter how many times Parliament votes against it. She survived a no-confidence vote last year so nobody can oust here until December and she refuses to resign. She has made a real disgrace of how Parliamentary politics operates.

PM May will now ask the EU for another extension to the BREXIT deadline of April 12th to “break the logjam” in Parliament. She is now turning to meet with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who is the closest thing to a communist in the West, to join with the extreme left in hopes of saving her plan.  May has insisted that her withdrawal agreement would remain part of the deal.

In all my years of politics, I have never seen such absolute stubbornness on the part of any world leader to the point that she will alienate her own party. There is no question that this will outrage Tory Brexiteers. Boris Johnson has come out beside himself saying that now Labour will decide the fate of Britain.

Under the terms of hard borders and remaining in the customs union, Britain under May has rejected the democratic process entirely. She is tieing the fate of Britain to that of the EU, which in an of itself is in dire straights. If we needed any explanation as to why the British pound will collapse in the future, all we need do is look at this dynamic-duo May-Corbyn for the answer.

If you need any explanation as to why the dollar continues to be the currency to which everyone is fleeing, you have it in spades. Putting the fate of Britain into the hand of Corbyn is like putting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) in the office of President
