Which makes me believe that polls show that people think othwise of him. Are you suggesting that some in the media coordinates with some members of the Canadian government to shape political narratives and messages for shared political goals? I hope our politicians and media in the States never catch on to that scheme.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzermann Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 No peeking! Government records censored with Scotch tape, paper (the star) ... Thats why Raphael Satter, an Associated Press correspondent in Paris, was dumbfounded when he received files from the Public Health Agency of Canada that were censored using only Scotch tape and paper.He was able to see the redacted confidential information simply by peeling back the paper.This was a first, he said, in more than a decade reporting for the AP. He has made access to information requests in about 15 countries, from Norway to Rwanda. Ive never seen someone use an arts and crafts method in order to hide information from me, he told the Star....Censorship is not friendly and thus un-canadian.

While doing so, he encountered Brosseau, who was also standing in the aisle and was seen physically reacting after the contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/crow-knife-crime-scene-1.3600299 Canuck the crow, Vancouver's most notorious bird, is being accused of flying away with a knife from a crime scene. The crow has quite a reputation in Vancouver and its antics are regularly chronicled on social media, including a dedicated Facebook page that has a profile photo of the bird holding a knife in its beak.Earlier on Tuesday, police had shot a man near Hastings and Cassiar streets. They were called to the scene of a car engulfed in flames. When they arrived, police said, they were confronted by a man with a knife.Shots were fired and the man was arrested.Police shooting, car fire, shut down Hastings and CassiarVancouver Courier reporter Mike Howell said he saw the bird — which had a red tag on its leg as does Canuck — swoop in and pick up an object from inside an area cordoned off by police tape. "A cop chased it for about 15 to 20 feet, and then the crow dropped it and took off," Howell told CBC."It was really strange. In my 20-plus years reporting from crime scenes, I've never seen anything like that crow trying to take a knife." Vancouver police confirmed a bird did indeed take off with crime scene evidence. "The crow was persistent, but the knife was eventually gathered as evidence," Const. Brian Montague said in an email.The bird was also spotted sitting on the roof of the burned car and trying to get into a camera operator's gear.

BansheeOne Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Cannot find the thread on the incident which made this guy an ambassador back, it was probably started by Stuart and purged by the FSB assassination bots. Former House of Commons sergeant-at-arms grabs protester at Dublin commemoration The Canadian Press - May 26, 2016 OTTAWA — Canada's ambassador to Ireland, best known for his role in shooting dead an armed assailant inside the Parliament buildings in 2014, has once again stepped into an apparent security breach. Kevin Vickers, the former House of Commons sergeant-at-arms, tackled a protester Thursday in Dublin during a ceremony to remember British soldiers killed in the 1916 Easter Rising. The Global Affairs Department confirmed the incident, stating that Vickers "intercepted a protester who ran up to the podium" during the commemoration. Security officers arrested the protester moments later. A Global Affairs spokesman says Vickers was not injured in the incident. Vickers, a former RCMP officer, was among those who responded to the October 2014 assault on Parliament Hill by rifle-wielding Michael Zehaf Bibeau, who died in a hail of bullets — including those fired by the sergeant-at-arms from his revolver at close range. Vickers was appointed to the ambassadorial post in January 2015. He was representing Canada at the Easter Rising ceremony as a guest of Charles Flanagan, Ireland's foreign affairs minister. http://newshubnation.com/Ny_W9WeXb/Former-House-of-Commons-sergeant-at-arms-grabs-protester-at-Dublin-commemoration?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=story&utm_campaign=ShareButtons Now is the time we dance.

Colin Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Justin Trudeau and his Grits are a selfie-centred lot — and you voters are starting to get the picture.An Angus Reid poll out Wednesday says 36% of Canadians think Prime Minister Pretty Boy’s government is “putting too much emphasis on PR and photo ops.”Just 25% say Liberals’ focus is on “making real progress and getting things done,” while 17% figure both are true, and 22% say “neither” or “not sure.”I hasten to add, Angus Reid did not describe Justin as “Prime Minister Pretty Boy.”Pretty popular, is more like it.The poll puts Trudeau’s approval rating at a whopping 63%, more than six months into his sunny reign, and finds most Canadians think Parliament is working as well as or better than it did under Stephen Harper.Not even Elbowgate, his manhandling of opposition MPs in Parliament, seems to have taken the bloom off Trudeau’s rose.So maybe there’s method to this Kardashian approach to governance. Maybe Justin is more than just a pretty face. Maybe he’s got our number.Certainly, he never met a photo op he didn’t like. He boxes, he cuddles pandas, he flexes his tattoos, he paddles the Rouge, he basks in swooning girls.His photogenic sidekicks, too, are happy posers, though we have yet to learn if trade minister Chrystia Freeland has any tattoos.The style should not surprise you. Justin learned politics at his daddy’s knee and Pierre was the original photo bomber. He pirouetted behind the Queen, he revved his sport car, he backflipped into pools, he basked in swooning girls.Are you sick of it? Is the Angus Reid poll a subtle hint: Cut out the selfies, Prime Minister Pretty Boy, and cut my taxes instead?Another warning sign: Fewer Canadians (39%) see Justin’s Parliament as representing their regional interests, especially out West. Also, just 42% say it reflects concerns of “people like you,” whatever the hell that means. Old, bald farts?Most leaders would take the hint, and get down to boring, serious business, such as the economy. But don’t hold your breath for Justin. He’s a natural-born ham, a camera hog. He gets it from his mom, too. So he’ll keep churning out selfies, goofing for photographers and staging shots for as long as it works.Were this the 19th century, Trudeau Jr. would have photo bombed the Fathers of Confederation or the Last Spike, with a sexy smile and a tossed curl.Meanwhile, the Tories and interim leader Rona Ambrose trail at 37% approval, according to Angus Reid.Rona is camera-ready, but you rarely see her playing to one. Maybe she should lace on boxing gloves or ride a horse.The NDP and lame duck Thomas Mulcair are at 36%, Angus Reid says. Frankly, if Tom has a tattoo, I don’t want to see it.The Bloc and interim leader Rheal Fortin gets 13%, though I’m surprised that many people ever heard of him.Elizabeth May, the Green Party leader, shocks with a strong second place, 41%, perhaps due to that boozy photo op at the press gallery dinner last year.But nobody touches Justin and company. Liberals have always done it better. Conservatives tend to flub photo ops, as Bob Stanfield and Rob Ford did with footballs and Harper did with cowboy hats.Scoff all you like. In the Internet Age, nothing has legs like a photo op, though in Trudeau’s case, it’s more about the biceps.mstrobel@postmedia.com http://www.torontosun.com/2016/06/22/our-kardashian-prime-minister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
