@ThisOldGuy3 Just took a look at one. My sister took great care of her "baby". Price blew my mind. These frets are not the least worn. She rings true on all fronts. Thanks again. Now I know where to start for asking price
THIS WEEK: Carney blows through his deficit numbers again, says his Parliamentary Budget Officer.
He’s on track to add $23 billion more to the deficit than he projected a month ago in his spring update.
No wonder Canada is the only G20 country in recession: He’s the banker who can’t budget.

I'm a one household person with a budget. If I blew threw my budget, would I expect everyone to pay for me? No. Carney blows thru $28 B & we have to pay. What's wrong with this picture? I would have to declare bankruptcy. We pay for failed bullshit, like the launch pad?
Canada: This is really happening. We can't make it go away by ignoring it. This is orwellian level dystopia. The Canadian police will become thought police.
C-9 has now returned to the House of Commons for consideration of the Senate’s amendments (a relatively minor step, as the government has indicated support). Once the House concurs, it will proceed to Royal Assent by the Governor General and become law (likely coming into force 30 days later).
BREAKING NEWS
Bill C-9 has now cleared the Senate and will head back to the House of Commons for a final vote.
Bill C-9 removes the longstanding "religious defence" for the Criminal Code. Previously, Canadians accused of promoting hatred could defend themselves by showing that they had "expressed or attempted to establish by an argument an opinion on a religious subject or an opinion based on a belief in a religious text."
What is the purpose of the religious defence? In the famous Keegstra decision, Chief Justice Dickson, writing for the majority, stated that "[t]hese defences are hence intended to aid in making the scope of the wilful promotion of hatred more explicit; individuals engaging in the type of expression described are thus given a strong signal that their activity will not be swept into the ambit of the defence."
Bill C-9 weakens that signal, perhaps calling into question the very constitutionality of the section 319(2) prohibitions on the public incitement of hatred and the wilful promotion of hatred.
The Justice Centre remains committed to defending Canadians whose Charter rights are infringed under this and any legislation.
