as I said, your conspiracy theme runs strong, runs deep! So... you want the names so YOU can do YOUR OWN deliberations... cause otherwise its a secret! LOL! Meanwhile, you've been asked a half-dozen+ times to review the names of those 57 Senators that have been appointed per the Advisory Board process and advise of any concerns you might have with them... any one of them! Apparently your nattering, blustering and blathering about secrets has you just too busy to comply with these repeated requests.

I'm going to say it one last time, it is not about individuals it is about a secret process that selects them. How the hell would I or anyone else know whether they were the best choice because all the other candidates were secret, only known to the PM who makes makes his choice according to his own priorities.

again, you don't trust the process, you don't accept the Advisory Board has integrity in itself and in following the process to arrive at and present merit-based nominations. Earlier I posted stats associated with the '2018 cycle'; stats that showed there were some 3500+ candidates reviewed during that cycle. You're such a pompous ass you position yourself as the arbiter of determination and deliberation of those 3500+ candidates! Cause you're member wilber! LOL!

more on that Alberta sham: after PM Trudeau made his most recent appointments (that included filling 1 of the 2 Alberta vacancies), CPC/O'Foole clearly ramped up their rhetoric... quite obviously looking for another divisive wedge issue to play into the stooopid "UNFAIR DEAL" Alberta claims it receives as a part of the federation! And now we see that extend to the point that the CPC has officially named its candidate for the Alberta Senate. Meanwhile NO OTHER federal political parties are participating in the sham Alberta Senate election process... which would seem to fit the member wilber declared, "dependent and partisan" Senate he relishes!

I think regarding it as a private process really may be more appropriate. Something that belongs to a PM - more than just a perk of power - certainly a right in any case.

A self appointed right to secrecy.

the fix was in! It's a secret process... secret I tells ya! How do we know this was the best CPC candidate nomination? How many others were considered; were deliberated upon? We want the names, gdamnit! The names now! It's been suggested this was all under the control of CPC leader O'Foole! But who knows... cause its a secret!

early learning & child-care agreements signed between the Liberal federal government and:

=> July 8 - British Columbia;
=> July 12 - Nova Scotia;
=> July 23 - Yukon;
=> July 27 - P.E.I.;
=> July 28 - Newfoundland and Labrador; and now:

=> August 5 - Quebec

riddle me this waldo, what do these conspicuously absent provinces have in common: the Conservative government of Alberta, the Conservative government of Saskatchewan, the Conservative government of Manitoba, the Conservative government of Ontario and the Conservative government of New Brunswick? What could it be... just what could it be, hey waldo?

Affordable child-care is finally a political winner, 15 years after it was first proposed --- Paul Martin started it, Stephen Harper scrapped it in what we now know was a multi-billion dollar mistake

Quote
Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin had put in place the beginnings of a national child-care program on the eve of his political downfall. Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who won the contest, promptly scrapped it, a multi-billion-dollar mistake based on what we know now about the relationship between subsidized daycare and labour participation rates.

Only about 81 per cent of women 15 years of age and over were working or looking for work at the end of Harper’s decade-long tenure, about the same as when he took power. The rate for men was about 91 per cent, also unchanged. The gap represents hundreds of thousands of people who could have been helping to generate wealth, but weren’t, sometimes by choice, but probably more often because daycare was too expensive.

The daycare announcements are fantastic news.  Now the state can raise all of our children from the age of 1-2 while both parents become the corporate slaves they've always dreamed about as all that extra income does absolutely nothing to increase standard of living because all its doing is driving up the bids on housing, which the feds and provinces have barely done anything about (banks and developers 4 life n*gga).  Why have a society where 1 income can support a family when you can need 2!  Surely this has helped single parents stay out of poverty!  Surely single parents could honestly use some daycare, but so can rich married couples.  Universal everything!

Corporate wh*ring is certainly more fulfilling than creating a human life from your own belly from the love with your spouse and then spending your time teaching it about life and love.  Congrats ladies!  There's a simple solution though...become a daycare worker!

As a bonus, instead of caring for our senior parents or having them help raise our kids as they do in developing countries, daycare means we can increase the rate of throwing our parents into retirement homes as they rot depressed and aimless.  The natural cycle of life is complete!  Who needs grandkids to keep you young when you can live in a residence filled with geriatric old spunkers who are constantly getting sick and dying all around you.

What a glorious achievement for society!

How are the Liberals going to pay for all this stuff?  We all know they'll never balance another budget ever again.

Putting this here for lack of a better place: Meng pleads GUILTY

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-huaweis-meng-to-resolve-fraud-case-in-plea-deal-that-does-not-include/

Quote
Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies, is expected to appear virtually in federal court in New York City Friday to resolve U.S. bank fraud charges against her, according to a source.

The source said the plea agreement does not include Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, who have been imprisoned in China on charges of espionage since December 2018. It remains unclear if there is a side agreement with China that would free the two men who were arrested after Ms. Meng was detained at Vancouver International Airport on a U.S. extradition request.

Reuters first reported that Ms. Meng has accepted a plea deal that would end her extradition hearings in Canada and allow her to return to China.

In a letter filed in a New York court Friday, acting U.S. Attorney Nicole Boeckmann told presiding U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly that the U.S. Justice department had reached a “resolution of the charges” against Ms. Meng.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-huaweis-meng-to-resolve-fraud-case-in-plea-deal-that-does-not-include/

She didn't plead guilty, she made a plea deal and admitted some wrongdoing but no guilt on the charges.

They gave her a deferred prosecution agreement, which is how white collar criminals get out of jail free, similar to how the Trudeau gov wanted to handle SNC Lavalin.

If this doesn't result in the freeing of the 2 michael's this is a major failure for Canada and US-Canada relations.  Let's hope an announcement on them is released in the next few weeks.

Quote
In the agreement, which is not an admission of guilt, Ms. Meng accepts a significant portion of the U.S. government’s case against her. This includes that she made “untrue” statements to bankers about Huawei’s relationship with a company, Skycom, that conducted business in Iran and was in fact controlled by the Chinese company. She accepted that Huawei caused Skycom to conduct about $100-million of U.S. dollar transactions through a bank that cleared these through the United States – “at least some of which supported its work in Iran in violation of U.S. law.”
