    Seventeen members of United Conservative Party constituency association resign over failed ‘grassroots guarantee’ So-cons don't respect grassroots. They are all authoritarian and it's top-down leadership.

    Now, note the Harper decline in military spending after the 2009 recession and the increases since Mr. Trudeau arrived in power (late 2015). The assertion that Liberals are anti-military spending is simply not true.

    It was a stunt with #45's sycophants to deflect attention from the historic day in Congress & Nancy Pelosi. Everyone knew it: nobody every said he was stupid on how to play a live Reality TV show host! LOL.

    I am beginning to think that the province of Alberta is like a reverse hedonic treadmill, to exist in a relatively stable level of negativity despite positive events.

    Germany faces the biggest hacker attack in its history. Private data of almost 1000 German , Parliament & delegates was leaked. I worked through the leaked data all night. It's shocking! Not affected so far: .

    “The most shameless Soviet propagandist never claimed that Afghan terrorists were attacking Russia,” said Barnett Rubin, an Afghanistan expert at New York University. “You can read all Soviet media in the 1980s and never find anything this ridiculous.”

    Approval for Trudeau’s performance about the same as it was for Harper’s in 2014, survey shows Harper ran a negative, dog-whistle campaign top-heavy with attack ads. His disapproval skyrocketed. I don't expect similar tactics for PMJT.
