It’s not until you do the
math that you realize what a black hole Ontario’s finances have fallen
down under the Dalton McGuinty/Kathleen Wynne Liberal government. Ontario’s deficit for this fiscal year (2014-2015) is projected at $12.5 billion..
While that’s probably inflated because finance ministers typically
lowball revenues and highball expenses at the start of each fiscal year,
it still dwarfs all other government deficits in the country — federal
and provincial — combined.
The estimated federal deficit for 2014-2015 is $2.9 billion. For Quebec, it’s $2.35 billion; Newfoundland $538 million; Manitoba
$357 million; New Brunswick $391 million; Nova Scotia $279 million;
P.E.I. $39.7 million.
Meanwhile, three provinces are predicting surpluses for this year:
Alberta at $2.6 billion; B.C. $184 million; Saskatchewan $71.4 million.
...Eric Holder pressured the Ferguson P.D. all week to hold back the
robbery video, nor even tell anyone about it, terming it too
"inflammatory" to be seen. It was only after Obama pressured Democrat Governor Jay Nixon to take
the Ferguson police off the case and put the state Highway Patrol (with
its Black chief) in charge, that the fed-up, betrayed department
finally released the truth about Mike Brown -- angering Obama and
Holder.

[W]hat is undeniable is that results for black Americans are far worse
in our most progressive, Democrat-dominated cities than they are
elsewhere. The progressives have had the run of things for a generation
in these cities, and the results are precisely what you see.

One of the key tenets of multiculturalism is to never,
ever criticize another culture because, as its supporters would tell
you, it's not appropriate to judge another culture which you clearly
don't fully understand. Here's how Mark Steyn explains it.
When you read this story remember that the Multi-Cultists are not upset by it at all. In their minds, to be disturbed would mean you were judging.

FORKED TONGUEmust be heriditary...
In an interview with the Vancouver Sun earlier this week,
Trudeau mused that a Liberal government would repeal the First Nations
Financial Transparency Act, the new law that requires First Nations to
post their audited financial statements online or risk losing government
funding.
The Liberal leader said the bill reflected a "lack of respect for
First Nations" and was being used by the Conservatives as a weapon
against critics. The law came into effect at the end of July. About half of the 600
First Nations communities affected by the law have yet to post their
reports.
The
Liberal leader says he would scrap new legislation that requires native
leaders to reveal their salaries, removing a right from natives that
every other Canadian takes for granted.
This bloated 'diversity' infrastructure, and the
larger bureaucracy, has made the recent wave of student protests look
particularly foolish... There they are protesting against tuition hikes,
and my view is, who are you guys protesting against? [...] Gibor Basri,
the Vice Chancellor of Equity, Inclusion and Diversity at Berkeley,
participated in some of these tuition protests and said rising tuition
gives him heartburn. Well, if he's got so much heartburn, how about he
starts divesting the seventeen staff in his 'diversity' office? He could even give up his own salary [of $200,000] or cut it by half.
Bourque's
actions thus far point to another possibility. Perhaps he pleaded
guilty because he’s proud, or at least not ashamed, of killing three
fine men in cold blood
A reporter for The Guardian was confronted by "around 20 Asian

asked if it was a in fact an ISIL flag, one man responded, "It is just
the flag of Allah," while another said, "so what if it is?"
