Canada’s economy posted record job gains in April that, along with a pick-up in wages, analysts suggest it’s the strongest signal the country is coming out of a six-month stint of weakness.
Employment rose by 106,500 in April, blowing WAAAY past the prediction of 12 thousand jobs. It contradicts everything we are being told about a slowing economy. But if all is so great why are we seeing record use of food banks.. Increased bankruptcies. People are barely paying the bills. And why Justin Trudeau’s numbers are tanking. Well, according to this chief economist-- the numbers don't add up.
Three top, former Conservative Cabinet members, one of them Alberta Premier Jason Kenny have come forward to provide information and to testify for the defense in the breach-of-trust case against Vice-Admiral Mark Norman. And yet none were called by the RCMP. The Crown didn’t seem to see the need to find out what they had-- heads should roll. Will they?
Former Peterborough Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro, who spent one months behind bars for electoral offences, is accusing Canada’s elections authority of having a personal vendetta against him. He’s calling for a parliamentary investigation. Del Mastro is coming forward at a time of renewed public discussion about the elections commissioner’s decision to strike a compliance agreement in 2016 with SNC-Lavalin. SNC was caught giving illegal donations to the Liberals and was never punished.

Today, we remember the service and sacrifice of those who fought for peace and freedom during the Second World War."
An Ontario man is “fuming” after losing hundreds of thousands of Aeroplan miles that he was saving for his retirement. Chris French logged about one million miles on Air Canada flights during his career, which had him flying all over the world on a regular basis.When he retired, he had about 370,000 Aeroplan miles in his account. French booked a trip earlier this year, but when he checked his Aeroplan account, the miles were gone. He had missed the company’s deadline to use the miles by two weeks. The company says it send out warnings.
The day after March for life protests are held across the country, and where a handful of Conservative Mpp’s, And Mp’s went out to support the march, twitter is ablaze today with the new line of attack both Federally and here in Ontario--- is this insinuation of a hidden agenda and we must protect our rights. This is a very small fraction of the party. And frankly-- while i am pro-choice, i find the attacks on those who are against it to be troubling. Are those with opposing views not allowed to hold them??
