Postmedia News analysis found that about a quarter of Conservative candidates defeated in the 2011 election — 35 of the 141 who lost — landed plum appointments:in the PMO, Health Canada,4 senate appointments, 2 foreign diplomatic assignments, some went to EI boards and port authorities

their greedy pirate friends get gooey jobs, slathering themselves with big paycheques and over the top perks while the PEOPLE get nothing. no election needed to keep gobbling up the gravy.

What happened to Green? He stepped down with an $18-million severance package and a pension worth more than a million dollars a year, in addition to stock options worth millions more.

http://www.chroniclejournal.com/editorial/letters/2012-05-29/tale-2-pensions

so the CEO and board of directors with their superior knowledge, education and investment skills lose over one billion in pension funds due to lacklustre investments, expect the workers to pay for investment mistake while the CEO gets the heave-ho with an $18MILLION SEVERANCE AND $500,000 ANNUAL PENSION? this is right? this is fair? this is shit!

In addition to its judicial review, Rapiscan has also filed a statement of claim in Ontario Superior Court seeking $30.7 million in compensation and another $2 million in punitive damages against CATSA and the federal government for being shut out of the contracts.

Critics say eliminating the measure means contractors on federal construction jobs will no longer have to meet the prevailing wage — $20-to-$30 an hour depending on the region — but instead can pay as little as the provincial minimum wage ($10.25 an hour in Ontario).

http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/polit...-wages-law?bn=1

yup, go after the wages, makes little sense to trade a nation of good earners for poorer earners.

“It is frustrating that good science has been conquered by junk science,” said Chudleigh, whose private member’s bill would have amended the Pesticides Act to allow lawn-care professionals to apply some currently-banned pesticides to lawns and gardens. “The physicians ... I don’t think their area of expertise extends to the use of pesticides. I’d like a doctor to look after me in his office, not on my lawn.”

http://www.torontosun.com/2012/06/02/pesticide-junk-science-challenge

safe pesticides, who knew?? safe tailing ponds: we'll be drinking the water and fishing and swimming there soon too! pirates: put down the glue.

Because the Prime Minister will not publicly discuss his religious views, Nikiforuk's conclusions are conjectural. But the Prime Minister is known to belong to an Alberta fundamentalist Protestant church that espouses "evangelical climate skepticism". Nikiforuk contends that this church holds seven tenets which "not only explain startling developments in Canada but should raise the hair on the neck of every thinking citizen regardless of their faith: 1. Disdain for the environmental movement, 2. Distrust of mainstream science in general, 3. Distrust of the mainstream media, 4. Loyalty to the party, 5. Libertarian economics as God's will (God is opposed to government regulation or taxation), 6. Misunderstanding of divine sovereignty (God won't allow us to ruin creation), 7. Unreconstructed Dominion theology (God calls on humans to subdue and rule creation)."

“The committee is seriously concerned at the apparent reluctance on (the) part of the (government) to protect rights of all Canadians detained in other countries,” the report reads.

One of the messages indicates MacKay's staff weren't happy with the amount of support they got from the Canadian Forces after a report surfaced last September that MacKay had taken a Cormorant search and rescue chopper from a summer holiday at a fishing lodge to a nearby airport in Gander, Nfld., so he could get to a government news conference in London, Ont.

Mr. Kenney’s office had ordered the department to organize the ceremony at the Sun with a few week’s notice, after noting that the CBC was televising a full-fledged ceremony during citizenship week – one that had been planned months in advance.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/poli...article4231322/


this is not quite the headline grab kenney had in mind. poor planning and execution, waste of resources. lack of citizen enthusiasm: over 3000 newly affirmed citizens declined to participate??? then blame the bureaucrats for the bungling??? fess up kenney, then walk the plank!
