For an alleged economic wizard, Prime Minister Mark Carney has been rather underwhelming on the fiscal file since assuming office. In fact, he has appeared outright inept, and the condo bailout in BC demonstrates it in spades. If the actions of the Carney government can’t be attributed to ineptitude, it signals something much worse.
As the Nazis took over Germany, they were a minority party that no one really took all that seriously. Hitler was crazy, but his ramblings weren’t thought of by most Germans or the political establishment as foreshadowing. People today forget they were not a majority, as history tends to obscure reality for the sensational. Communists in Russia and China (or anywhere they destroyed, really) were a minority, too. But you should never underestimate the ability of a distinct minority to bring about massive devastation, as once radicals gain power they tend to wipe out their opposition and move quickly to consolidate control. That’s what makes the lack of comment from “leaders” on the left about the goose-steppers taking over so curious.
One of the perverse joys of politics is when an elected official looks you in the eye and tells you that the thing going on directly in front of your face is not happening.
This happened twice during Mark Carney’s Oprah giveaway day on Thursday: You get a port! And you get a tunnel! And everybody gets a pipeline, whether or not they want one!

Armed with his water gun and foul language, a truculent 14-year-old Arab boy called Hamza has become the unexpected sideshow of the Paris heatwave season.
Videos have gone viral showing the pudgy Algerian adolescent in swimming trunks terrorising Parisians along the crowded Canal Saint-Martin in the blistering summer heat. Shirtless and bare-foot, Hamza aims his water pistol at pedestrians and cyclists, extorting two euros (£1.70) from targets who are commanded to pay up or get sprayed.

This time, Hamza F., who refers to himself as “Hamza La Douane,” tosses a scooter against a tourist boat in the Saint-Martin Canal, nearly hitting passengers.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Since he started work as NATO secretary-general almost two years ago, Mark Rutte has spent much of his time trying to keep the United States anchored to the world’s biggest military alliance, employing outright flattery to dissuade U.S. President Donald Trump from acting on threats to abandon it.
But the goalposts keep shifting, raising the stakes ahead of this week’s summit in Turkey.
As Americans celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, critics on the Left portray the United States as a nation defined by racial and national-origin discrimination and by irreversible decline. Having lived under both Mao Zedong’s China and the American constitutional republic, I see something very different.
America’s greatest achievement is not that it has existed for 250 years. Many civilizations are older. China’s recorded history stretches back thousands of years.
America remains a beacon.
There’s a good chance that Prime Minister Mark Carney could make a brief stop in Halifax on his way to the NATO Summit in Turkey this week.
Speculation has been building that the Royal Canadian Navy is preparing to announce the winner of its competition for a new submarine fleet, and Monday would be an ideal day to do it.

Iran’s intelligence services may be behind recent attacks in Canada, according to a top-secret government report obtained by Global News.
The threat assessment said it was a “realistic possibility” that Iran had used local criminal networks to target Canada’s Jewish community.
The report said “actors who may be directed by Iranian Intelligence Services” were also suspected of threats to the Israeli and Iranian communities and interests.

A mass shooting underwritten by the state asylum policy.
Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre, who grew up in Calgary, is spending the weekend in the city to take in the Stampede.
He also spoke to supporters at Heritage Park Saturday night, where he addressed the Oct. 19 referendum and Alberta separatism.
“We will fight for Canada,” Poilievre said. “Including in the upcoming referendum to win back Albertans…through hope, not by wagging our fingers or lecturing them, nor by threatening. We want to be respectful to people in both sides of this debate.

Off in the wings, there are chaps-clad bull riders waiting to battle against 1,600lb (725kg) horned bovines.
It’s an in-your-face marriage of Western grit, rodeo and military strength. Billed as Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Space Cowboys, the one-off event is celebrating America’s 250th anniversary. But the spectacle is not just trying to draw fans to rodeo, but also to branches of America’s military and law-enforcement agencies.
