HAPPENING TODAY
Conservatives will move a motion to launch an expansion of the Jasper wildfire investigation.
Over the last two weeks, an alarming amount of evidence has been released at the environment committee that shows Minister Guilbeault was negligent in protecting Jasper.
Here’s what the investigation has revealed so far:
Minister Guilbeault’s senior officials were caught discussing cancelling prescribed burns for ‘political’ purposes, months before Jasper burned.
Minister Guilbeault’s top officials at Parks Canada couldn’t tell Parliament how much hectares of dead pine remain standing in Jasper.
Minister Guilbeault’s department turned away dozens of fire fighters who arrived on scene to stop the fires.
Minister Guilbeault’s department handcuffed the Alberta government from decision making when they were trying to help.
Canadians are demanding answers.
We won’t stop until we get them.
Stay tuned.
Liberal fraud & corruption.
Three contractors are bidding to repair a fence at the Parliament Buildings. One is from Montreal, another from Winnipeg and the third is from Vancouver.
All three go with a public works official to examine the fence and see what needs to be done.
The Vancouver contractor takes out a tape measure, does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well" he says, "I estimate the job will run about $9,000. That's $4,000 for materials, $4,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me."
The Winnipeg contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $7,000. That's $3,000 for materials, $3,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me".
The Montreal contractor takes no measurement and does no estimating, but leans over to the government official and whispers, "$27,000." The government official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure?
The Montreal contractor whispers back, "$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Winnipeg to repair the fence."
"Done!" replies the government official. That, my friends, is how CORADIX makes a quarter billion dollars in 10 years working for the Trudeau Liberals.
#TrudeauMustGo
Way to take a very serious, sensitive and important topic and use it in the most inappropriate and misleading way to feed your narrative Rachel.
Trying to suggest an abusive parent is anything like a concerned parent who loves their child and needs to be part of that conversation is sick.
Jesus some people will just go as low as it takes. 🤦🏼♀️
On July 30, 2008, Vincent Li brutally killed and cannibalized a 22-year old Timothy Richard McLean, Jr. on a Greyhound bus. For that crime, he served 4 years and is now walking free and unmonitored.
Tamara Lich, meanwhile, is facing 10 years for holding an anti-Trudeau protest.
Fred Penner and Mr. Dressup is a pretty great crossover, but the story behind it carries some tragedy.
About two weeks before he was to appear on Fred Penner's Place in 1992, Ernie Coombs' wife Marlene was struck & killed by a car while she was out shopping in Toronto.
Penner contacted Coombs and told him that it was okay if he cancelled the shows or rebooked.
Coombs said no. He and his wife had talked about it before she died and he wanted to be on the show.
"The energy that the crew gave him, when he came on set, was overwhelming to say the least," Penner said.
They did two shows. At the end of the second show, a song was scheduled called "Together, Tomorrow"
Penner and Coombs sat on the log on the set getting ready to say goodbye to the audience with that song at the end of the second show.
Penner stated that the song became about Ernie and his wife and both he and Ernie were on the brink of tears while singing the song.
"That was absolutely the most beautiful and most intense moment I ever had on the series," Penner said.
