Jean Charest will run for Conservative leadership, Tom Mulcair says

CTV is reporting that "Jean Charest will run for the leadership of the federal Conservative party, according to CTV political analyst and former NDP leader Tom Mulcair. The former Quebec premier and deputy prime-minister of Canada has discussed the issue with his family, Mulcair said, and will throw his name into the race. 'It's a game-changer,' Mulcair said, noting that Charest is a political veteran who will intimidate candidates who don't have the same political pedigree."

Exactly. Like I said, if you wan to win the next election, you need someone from Quebec.

Green Justice nominates Thomas Mulcair, Thomas Mulcair nominates Jean Charest. Now that's a win win situation. Green Justice: Civil Liberty and Fiscal Responsibility. Joyeux Noël.

Due to the population density, the federal election is primarily decided by Ontario and Quebec. Quebec doesn't trust anyone who doesn't speak French and Ontario doesn't trust anyone from Alberta. BC trusts Quebec a lot more then they trust Alberta. There are a lot of French speaking Canadians in Ontario and New Brunswick. Jean Charest would be an excellent choice for a leader. It would be in Alberta's best interest and the rest of the country's best interest so it would.

Three Hells Angels busted in Ontario gambling ring

The Star is reporting that "Three Ontario Hells Angels bikers have been charged in a multi-million dollar offshore gambling enterprise that police say has links to mobsters in York Region."

"The investigation originally also targeted Michael (Diaz) Deabaitua-Schulde, a Niagara Hells Angel who was murdered on March 11 after leaving a workout at a gym in a commercial plaza in Mississauga. The gambling operation was linked to the Figliomeni Crime Family of York Region, some alleged members of which were charged in July by York Regional Police in a sweeping investigation called Project Sindicato, Beesley said."

"The three full-patch Hells Angels who allegedly ran the off-shore operation are Robert Barletta, 49, a London, Ont. strip club owner; Craig (Truck) McIlquham, 49, of Oakville; and Eugenio (Gino) Reda, 55, of King City." Why is the BC Gang Task force so f*cking useless?

Canadian arrested in Australia after 645 kilos of ecstasy found hidden in shipment of 200 barbecues

The National Post is reporting that "A Canadian man was arrested in Australia and accused of being a representative of a high-level transnational organized crime syndicate that imported 645 kilograms of ecstasy cleverly hidden inside a shipment for barbecues."

Reuters is reporting that "The Canadian suspect arrived in Sydney last week to visit the warehouse and was arrested in Brisbane on Monday. 'It will be alleged in court that he acted as a liaison for the criminal group responsible for importing the MDMA,' the ABF said. The Australian suspect was also arrested on Monday, while about A$300,000 ($204,000) in cash and 3.5 kg of cocaine were also seized." They had a tip...

Vancouver's budget hikes property tax, Surrey's budget does not

Global is reporting that "Vancouver city council has approved a property tax hike that is nearly double the 10-year average. The 2020 budget was passed in a lengthy meeting that saw councillors split the document into pieces and vote segment by segment. In the end, they approved a seven per cent tax increase, down from the initially proposed 8.2 per cent hike, but still much higher than many councillors wanted to see."

"The city’s four Non-Partisan Association (NPA) councillors and former NPA Coun. Rebecca Bligh pushed against the increase, arguing a budget increase so high above the rate of inflation was too much." Exactly. The NPA are fiscally responsible. The others are not.

In Surrey Doug McCallum and the Safe Surrey Coalition are fiscally responsible. The others are not. Surrey First was the least fiscally responsible slate Surrey has ever seen. They were all about going on junkets, raising taxes and spending money. Lower taxes means fiscal restraint.

Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum: Endgame

Letters to the Editor: "It seems Dr. Seuss envisioned the left-leaning Vancouver city council when he created the Grinch. The meanies at city hall have decided our merriment will be enhanced with a tax hike announcement before the yuletide."

Man injured in Surrey Shooting

The Peace Arch News is reporting that "Surrey RCMP say a 25-year-old man is in hospital with non-life threatening injuries following a late-night shooting in Guildford Monday (Dec. 16.)" He was shot near Hawthorne Park in the 10500-block of 144th Street around 10:45 p.m.

The North Delta Police are reporting that "At approximately 8:35 p.m. on Friday, December 13, Delta Police responded to report of shots being fired in the 11800 block of 73A Ave. 'There were no reported injuries, but we can confirm that several shots were fired into the residence and the vehicles parked in the driveway,' says Cris Leykauf, spokesperson for Delta Police. The incident is still under investigation, and appears to be targeted." North Delta has it's own police force.

Ontario joins BC's opioid class action fraud

CBC is reporting that "Ontario is joining five other provinces in a class-action lawsuit against dozens of opioid manufacturers. The province passed legislation late Wednesday allowing it to join the British Columbia-led suit, which alleges that drug manufacturers falsely marketed opioids as less addictive than other pain drugs."

This is ridiculous. The problem isn't Perdue or Sackler, the problem is us. We are promoting addition through harm reduction and the refusal to enforce the law. Pharmaceutical companies make pain killers. I don't think many of us would like to attend the hospital with chronic pain or under go surgery without pain killers. Ottawa and BC are promoting addiction through lethal injection sites and the abandonment of the Four Pillar program. When you refuse to enforce the law you become criminally culpable for the lawlessness you create.



Natural blaze is reporting that "An affiliate of the U.S.-based pharmaceutical company that brought us OxyContin, the blockbuster painkiller blamed for propelling opiate addiction to epidemic proportions, is now seeking to cash in by selling the cure to overdosing on the same drug. While Purdue Pharma, the major pharma firm owned by the notorious Sackler family, is engulfed in a tidal wave of negative public opinion and lawsuits across the United States, its overseas affiliate Mundipharma has quietly expanded across the globe in a bid to monopolize the market for treating opioid overdoses, the Associated Press reports."

"Mundipharma’s flagship product is a naloxone nasal spray called Nyxoid, which recently received approval from regulators in Europe, Australa, and New Zealand. The company’s European division has attempted to present the antidote as an important option for combating heroin overdoses, which remains a leading cause of overdose deaths across European countries." In this case, the government needs to sue itself.



"Even as an epidemic of painkiller abuse was blamed for record numbers of overdoses and reduced life expectancy, the nation’s largest opioid distributors, their subsidiaries, and employees gave more than $23 million in campaign contributions to federal candidates over the last decade."

The Forgotten History of Operation Fast and Furious

The Active Post has posted a timely year end recap of Operation Fast and Furious. "You probably know what was officially called “Project Gunrunner” as “Operation Fast and Furious.” Started under George W. Bush, this ATF policy audaciously grew under President Obama and became indicative of the perceived attack on American gun owners by both policy makers and their friends in the establishment media."

The ATF were selling guns to El Chapo and the Mexican cartel in exchange for tons of cocaine that they brought into the United States and Canada. I kid you not.

We've talked about the Gary Web story which was made into a movie called Kill the Messenger and followed up by Freeway: Crack in the System. Iran Contra never stopped. The CIA has been deeply involved with drug trafficking since the Vietnam war. That's why they killed Major Charles McKee. The CIA learned from Judge Bonner is that if they want to continue drug trafficking they'll have to infiltrate the ATF and the DEA. That's exactly what they did. Just ask Michael Kramer.

SNC-Lavalin found guilty of fraud and corruption

The National Post is reporting that "A former SNC-Lavalin executive has been found guilty of paying off foreign officials and pocketing millions as he worked to secure contracts for the Canadian engineering company in Libya. A jury found Sami Bebawi, 73, guilty Sunday of all five charges he faced, including fraud, corruption of foreign officials and laundering proceeds of crime. SNC-Lavalin transferred about $113 million to shell companies used to pay off people, including Saadi Gadhafi, who helped the company secure deals in Libya."

The key point here is that he wasn't a former executive at the time. In fact, "He denied the allegations, saying the millions were compensation for completing complicated contracts, authorized by the former president of the company, Jacques Lamarre." The problem is "The Crown had said Bebawi was behind a "business model" that involved kickbacks and payoffs to foreign agents to secure lucrative deals for the Montreal-based engineering giant in Libya."

It wasn't just one executive in one country it is a business model within SNC Lavalin.

Under the reign of Jacques Lamarre and Pierre Duhaime, political parties were lavishly showered with illegal contributions under Canadian law. Former SNC-Lavalin CEO Pierre Duhaime plead guilty to a charge of helping a public servant commit breach of trust for his role in a bribe scandal around the construction of the $1.3-billion McGill University Health Centre.

That's the same hospital Arthur Porter was involved with and faced charges for before his mysterious death in a Panama prison. A Quebec inquiry was told that Arthur Porter and Yanai Elbaz split a $22.5M payout in the biggest corruption fraud in the history of Canada.

Yanai Elbaz, a former hospital executive who pocketed a $10-million bribe in return for helping engineering giant SNC-Lavalin win a Montreal hospital-building contract was sentenced to 39 months in prison. The problem with the Sami Bebawi case is that just like Oliver North, he was authorized to do everything he did. It is a business model within SNC Lavalin. That is why we have to cut them loose. The sky will not fall if we do. Other private Canadian companies will win the contracts and employ Canadians without embezzling so many millions of tax dollars.

SNC-Lavalin pleads guilty to fraud

CTV is reporting that "SNC-Lavalin has pleaded guilty to one charge of fraud over $5,000 and will pay a $280-million fine, federal prosecutors announced in court Wednesday in Montreal. The construction division of the company will have five years to pay the fine and will be on probation for three years. In return, prosecutors will withdraw other corruption-related charges against SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. and its international marketing arm, SNC-Lavalin International Inc."

This decision involved the entire company not just one *former* executive.

The real SNC Lavalin Fraud is tied to the current BC NDP

Chinese government forces churches to fingerprint and scan faces of members

CHVN Radio is reporting that "Christian persecution and surveillance increases as the Chinese government installs surveillance devices in churches throughout China. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) plans to check the identity of anyone who enters a place of worship through new facial recognition systems. The government controls many Three-Self churches around China and first began this invasive initiative with them in September.'

"By October, various other state-sanctioned churches in Urumqi, the central province of Hubei, and more were forced to record their membership. Congregation members are required to stand in line and have their faces and fingerprints scanned prior to attending church."

This is George Orwell. When we talked about how the Chinese Communist Party was throwing Falun Gong members in prison and executing them for organ harvesting, they said the Falun gong are crazy. They're a cult. I said no they're not. They are Buddhists like the Dali Lama. Is Tibet crazy? Of course not. Tibet is oppressed.

The Chinese Communist Party persecutes Muslims, Christians and Buddhists for their religious beliefs. Scanning their finger print and using facial recognition software to track them is evil. It is reminiscent of Hitler's registration of Jews before the Holocaust. Fascism and Communism are both an abomination. They are the same thing. The Nazi party in Germany was called the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

SenseTime is an artificial intelligence company. In 2019, the company was placed on a Bureau of Industry and Security blacklist for allegedly using its technology for human rights abuses in Xinjiang. This is a colossal concern.

China's Communist propaganda tabloid is reporting that "All foreigners will soon have to give their fingerprints upon entering China, with the new rule taking effect at Shenzhen’s airport on Friday."
