Hey! Vic Toews doesn't have a monopoly on creepy. You've undoubtedly heard of Maygan Sensenberger? The 23-year-old wife of 69-year-old Liberal Senator Rod Zimmer? Apparently they had some sort of altercation on an airplane. Here's their photo:
Oh man. Real Estate. First, the Vancouver Sun had this article. They changed the headline after I posted my comment, but the initial headline said "Vancouver home prices continue to rise..." Yet, nowhere in the article does it say that housing prices in Vancouver have risen. It says that the percentage of income required to own a home has risen by 2.2 percent to 91.0 percent (which is obscene and a dramatic indicator that this is unsustainable)...but this does not support the claim that house prices have risen. A totally bogus and deceptive headline. And then you look at this graph...and it shows you just how clueless these writers are. Throw this StatsCan page into the mix with median household incomes....boy. Let's buy some Vancouver Real Estate!
Hey look everybody! Alberta, with all their oil money and Conservative principles...they're looking at a massive deficit. Of course, the comment trolls are claiming that they're not Conservative enough and that's the problem! I thought everybody in Alberta was a hard working taxpayer supporting the rest of Canada? Why do they even need social programs?
Imagine that you had this business...you could borrow as much money as you wanted for super cheap. And then you could turn around and lend it out for a larger rate, guaranteed. So the more money you lent out, the more money you brought in. And you could release all kinds of reports and self-serving "research" that encouraged people to borrow more-and-more from you because things can't possibly go down. Yes, you might be able to make gobs and gobs of money as well. Of course, anybody that points out that the banks seem to be making an awful lot of money off the backs of Canadians is just "jealous".
Rob Ford is just the gift that keeps on giving. In light of the reading while driving and the conflict of interest trial (and that's just in the last two weeks!) you'd think that Stephen Harper would keep his distance from this guy. But no. They're going on a fishing trip. I can just see this guy getting thrown out of his Mayor's job, and then named as a Senator or Ambassador a few days later. And then, his awesome niece makes an amazing twitter comment about women preventing sexual assault by not dressing "like a whore". Yes. The woman below, who plays in the lingerie football league, said you shouldn't "dress like a whore" in order to not get raped.
Just another independent government adviser for Stephen Harper. His Chief of Staff has maybe used his position to improve his financial standing with Barrick Gold.
The new Chief of Defence Staff? An ex-fighter pilot in favour of the F-35. May as well double down, I guess.
Jack Layton's funeral cost a bit of money.
So we have a Senator that is legally incompetent....I realize that we need to respect her dignity, but come on...
Am I mistaken, or did the guy who is supposed to "clean up the RCMP" just have a bunch of on-duty cops do some ceremonial shit at his wedding...and he didn't know they were on duty?
