Toad Qui Est Mutant

Good job Senator Hawley! Keep up the good work.!!!

Dans le film « Le Temps des bouffons », Pierre Falardeau mettait en lumière, avec dérision, le fait que les Québécois sont traités en porteurs d’eau sur leur propre territoire, condamnés à se laisser dicter les décisions fondamentales de leur société par des élites financières qui n’ont aucune légitimité démocratique. La lutte des Québécois pour être « maîtres chez eux », c’est-à-dire pour prendre eux-mêmes les décisions qui orientent leur développement économique et social, a pris son essor lorsque Jean Lesage a fait comprendre aux banquiers de la rue Saint-Jacques que ce serait désormais le gouvernement du Québec, et personne d’autre, qui déciderait au nom des Québécois. Son message était clair : le Québec n’était plus à vendre, et son peuple devait être respecté. Cette posture a notamment permis la création d’Hydro-Québec et de la Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, qui demeurent parmi les leviers les plus importants de l’économie québécoise. La démarche de réappropriation de nos institutions démocratiques s’est poursuivie sous les gouvernements de René Lévesque, de Jacques Parizeau et de Bernard Landry. Or aujourd’hui, le gouvernement fédéral a décidé d’entreprendre des négociations avec l’Union européenne, qui touchent directement le Québec, sans consulter le Québec ni lui permettre d’avoir une place à la table des négociations, contrairement à ce qui s’était fait lors des négociations ayant mené à la création de la zone de libre-échange avec l’Union européenne. Souvenons-nous également que c’est aussi le Québec qui avait joué un rôle de précurseur dans l’appui à l’ALÉNA. Ainsi, non seulement le gouvernement fédéral refuse de consulter le Québec et de le faire participer aux négociations, il cherche à lui imposer des décisions économiques qui touchent à ses champs de compétence, en rupture complète avec la doctrine Gérin-Lajoie. Il va même plus loin sur le plan symbolique en refusant au premier ministre du Québec de prendre la parole dans le cadre d’un événement sur son propre territoire où les intérêts économiques du Québec seront négociés. Pire encore, le gouvernement fédéral voudrait nous faire croire que le fait, pour le premier ministre du Québec, d’obtenir la permission de servir des crevettes cocktail lors d’une réception constitue une forme d’influence acceptable et suffisante dans la représentation des intérêts du Québec. C’est non seulement un manque de respect grave, mais c’est surtout un important recul pour la capacité du Québec à agir de manière autonome et à défendre lui-même ses intérêts. La vision du Canada défendue par Mark Carney est celle d’un État fédéral centralisateur, voire unitaire, qui impose ni plus ni moins aux provinces un rôle d’observatrices dans des discussions qui touchent pourtant leurs intérêts fondamentaux et leurs champs de compétence. Cette vision entre directement en contradiction avec les principes défendus par notre gouvernement, notamment précisément le respect de notre autonomie et de nos champs de compétence. En début de mandat, il est essentiel d’établir clairement notre position pour la suite des choses : le Québec doit être la table des décisions pour défendre ses intérêts. C'est non négociable. M. Carney l'a bien dit lui-même : « Si on n’est pas à la table, on est au menu. »

Let’s make sure the entire world understands. In Brazil, judicial rulings in connection with federal elections are made by the court that has been in place for that very purpose, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE). @LulaOficial requested to the TSE that the polls be extended by two more hours in the entire country, citing “transportation problems.” Who controls the transport system? Lula’s government surely more so than a senator running for president. Instead of waiting for a TSE ruling. @LulaOficial immediately asked Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) justice @Cristianozaninm to order the polls remain open WITHOUT any TSE ruling. Within minutes (did Zanin even read the filing?), the polls were ordered to remain open by Zanin. The STF has 11 justices. What did Zanin do before becoming an STF justice? Oh yes, he was Lula’s criminal defense lawyer in his corruption cases. If this blatant rigging of the elections will be used to announce that Lula won, is Lula seriously expecting anyone in the international community to recognize that as a free and fair election? He knows nobody will. Has the desperation reached a point that today is the day the mask fully comes off and Lula becomes the next Nicolas Maduro? For the sake of Brazil, I pray that is not the case.

#REPORT: The Canada Revenue Agency has fired the Commissionaires, a Canadian security company that specializes in hiring ex-soldiers, and replaced them with Allied Universal, an American company which underbid them by $80,000.

I love family reunions!! Gets me every time!

Doesn’t matter what Carney thinks. If the US recognizes Alberta as new country, there is sweet fuck all that Canada can do. And if Canada doesn’t want to play ball with Alberta with negotiating its share of CPP and access to deep water , then Alberta can block all road and rail between BC and eastern Canada.

UNBELIEVABLE: Mark Carney told a reporter that he would NOT recognize a 50%+1 vote on an Alberta independence referendum. Can you believe this? Albertans can vote FOR separation. They can vote to leave Canada. But that's not enough for Mark Carney.

It wasn’t me. I’m posting her mugshot as proof.

I’m Polish. If France is your future, I come from the end of that road. France shows you the slow version. We lived the full one – the version where the state doesn’t just take care of everything. It owns everything. In Poland it arrived with Soviet bayonets. In America it would arrive by vote – slower, softer, with better slogans. But the destination is the same, and so is the mechanism. It starts with prices. When the state decides what things should cost, prices stop telling the truth. A price is a message: this is scarce, this is wanted, make more of this. Abolish the message, and the whole economy goes deaf. So the shelves emptied – first of meat, then of almost everything. Every Pole knew the joke. A man walks into a shop: "No meat?" The clerk: "No, sir. Here is no fish. No meat is across the street." We queued for everything. People wrote their place in line on their palms and kept lists through the night. You waited years for a small car, and often more than a decade for an apartment. Not because Poles were lazy. Because nobody in the system had any reason to produce what we needed. At work, we had another joke: we pretended to work, and they pretended to pay us. And the promise of equality? It produced the most unequal system of all. The party elite had their own shops – Poles called them the shops behind the yellow curtains. Those with dollars shopped in special stores. Everyone else got the queue. Then the system needed informers, because nobody believed in it anymore. Our neighbors were recruited to report on us. You never knew who was listening – the colleague, the friend, sometimes family. So we learned to live a double life: one language in public, another at home. Those who spoke up got the wolf ticket: no job, no promotion, sometimes no university place for their children. Nobody needed to send them to prison. They just couldn’t live. The newspapers reported record harvests while the shelves stood empty. Everyone knew. Nobody said it. That is what a society looks like when the lie becomes the system. In 1950 we were about as rich as Spain. By 1989, Spain was twice as rich. That is what forty years of "fairness" cost us. Today in America, the method is softer. Your neighbor won’t inform on you to the secret police. Someone will report your post, and you’ll be cancelled – no job, no account, no platform. Different tools, same machine. We got out. Ten million of us joined Solidarity, and in 1989 a system that looked eternal collapsed. Since then, Poland has become one of the great success stories of Europe – because people were finally free to build. But we still carry it. More than thirty years later, you can see it in the careful answers, the closed faces - the system leaves faster than the fear does. It takes generations to get out of it fully once you fall into that trap. Nobody votes for the queue. Nobody votes for the informer. They come with the promise. Trust me, you don’t want to go down that road.
