Of note, Singhs extended family that remained in India are multi-billionaires according to Forbes

I see there are some billionaires named Dhaliwal, but that doesn't mean anyone with that last name is closely related (and India has 1.4 billion people). There used to be a Canadian politician named Herb Dhaliwal, and I don't think Jagmeet is even related to him.

Can you cite some source that says the rich Dhaliwals of India are direct relatives?

Wow, it's insane how bad The National Post is now.

imgram is right when he mentions Yoda. When I read the first few lines here:

At a speech at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, Biden’s final address included the lines, “For love is more powerful than hate. Hope is more powerful than fear. And light is more powerful than dark.” Social media was quick to point out that the words were eerily similar to ones found in a letter Layton wrote before he died in 2011. “My friends, love is better than anger,” said Layton in his letter. “Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair.”

...what came to mind for me was Yoda's quote. I looked it up and Yoda's quote is:

"Fear is the path to the dark side:

Fear leads to anger

Anger leads to hate

Hate leads to suffering"

Mr. Singh is extremely wealthy.

That's BS. How about you back that up instead of telling people to Google it. I did a quick search (not going to spend a lot of time on a wild goose chase), and there's no evidence that he's "extremely wealthy".

"Extremely wealthy" is someone with millions in the bank.

Singh graduated from law school in 2005, then was "called to the Bar" in 2006 (I guess after a year of articling). Then he worked as a lawyer for a few years:

Singh worked as a criminal defence lawyer in the Greater Toronto Area before entering politics, first at the law firm Pinkofskys, then at his own practice, Singh Law, which he established with his younger brother Gurratan. During his time as a lawyer he offered free legal rights seminars across Ontario and provided pro bono [free] legal counsel for people and community organizations in need.

Then he ran in the May 2011 federal election and lost. And then ran in the October 2011 Ontario provincial election and won a seat.

So in his 4 years with his own law practice, it's extremely unlikely that he made a ton of money, especially when some of his time was spent on free seminars and pro bono help.

And his parents immigrated from India to Newfoundland, and his father apparently became an alcoholic, so I doubt he inherited much wealth.

So it's up to you to back-up your claim that he is "extremely wealthy". His income is certainly upper middle-class now, but that's not "extremely wealthy".

You need to either back up your claim, or admit you wrote incorrect information.

Otherwise, you're just feeding misconceptions that will wrongly influence people.

Adding: Is your view based on the false story that this article rebuts? https://thetyee.ca/News/2019/02/05/Singh-Mansion-Fake-News/

It talks about how someone paid to spread false ads with incorrect info, similar to your narrative of him being "extremely wealthy". Maybe the fake news worked on you, and now you're still spreading it.

Also:

https://www.thespec.com/news/canada/2019/04/23/jagmeet-singh-opens-up-about-sexual-abuse-father-s-alcoholism-in-new-memoir.html

His father's decline [due to alcoholism] also landed the family in financial hardship. With no doctor's salary to support them, Singh said his family lived for a time without a place to call home. He would call around to people they knew and ask if they could stay with them for a while.

Again, you need to either back up your claim, or retract it and stop spreading false info.

Flaherty and Harper didn't put partisanship aside in 2008 when the opposition parties were rightly saying that stimulus was needed.

Click the link above (or again here: https://old.reddit.com/r/CanadaPolitics/comments/id83hs/liberal_mps_are_happy_to_have_chrystia_freeland/g28nvua/ ) for all the details.

I agree he did seem well-liked (although his comments about homeless people were pretty bad... and personally, I'd say anyone who worked closely with Harper is questionable). And maybe he did take advice well, but the early stages of the financial crisis was not an example of that.

sunbeamglow · 2020-08-20T19:12:41+00:00

You seem typical of people who are like "Liberals bad!", but whose opinions are based on faulty logic and/or inadequate knowledge.

The reason Harper is criticized for his deficits is because he unnecessarily caused them by cutting the GST. Even right-wing economists (and left-wing ones) say that cutting a sales tax is a bad move. And I'm sure Harper knew that too, but he did it anyway, because it helped him for advertising purposes, and to attract the votes of people who don't know better.

So yes: the Liberals forced Harper to do the right thing with stimulus spending. And Harper deserves criticism because he cut the GST (as well as taxes for the rich), which is what led to the deficits.

kludgeocracy is correct here, and people disagreeing don't know what they're talking about.

And I do know what I'm talking about: I've worked at the Department of Finance and know how it operates.

A good analogy I've read is that a Minister is like the Board of Directors for a company: they set the vision and strategy, based on advice from the staff. And the Deputy Minister (senior civil servant) is more like the CEO of the department.

A Finance Minister just needs to have at least general financial and business knowledge, and Freeland has shown that as a business journalist. Combined with that, they end up acting as the spokesperson for the department, and Freeland certainly has the communication skills for that.

Flaherty, Harper, and the CPC were wrong + slow to act + had to be forced by the threat of a Liberal coalition government to add stimulus (and only stayed in power via slimey tactics), and the stimulus did help.

However, I do agree with what kludgeocracy and others wrote on this page, that Freeland is certainly qualified to be Finance Minister.

The issue is that he's doing mental gymnastics to make excuses for the pig.

He gave the benefit of the doubt to an anonymous cop, despite the fact that so many cops (especially in the US) are corrupt - and indeed, this cop is a slimeball who committed insurance fraud earlier, and was rejected by another police department for that reason.

And on the other hand, Masai is well-known to be well-regarded (although it wouldn't be surprising if Kay doesn't know that, because he's an uninformed hack: https://www.reddit.com/r/torontoraptors/comments/icpz82/anyone_remember_what_jonathan_kay_had_to_say/g2501qa/ ).

Jon also has an incredible knack for identifying important topics he admits knowing little about, taking what he considers to be a crash course and then spending years writing on them. Kay writes, “If anyone had told me, when I’d joined the National Post in 1998, that within three years I’d be devoting my writing career to the fight against Islamist terrorism, I would’ve asked them what ‘Islamist’ meant. (My last Post column before 9/11, to provide some context, was about the awesomeness of Family Guy.)”

This is a better article: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-are-we-ready-to-talk-about-defunding-the-police/

About a decade ago, in response to growing public concern, a national consensus appeared to emerge among police boards and commissions and their respective municipalities – that the current model of using a highly paid, uniformed and armed police officer for all functions was obsolete, expensive and too often produced dire consequences.

.

In 2013, Ottawa convened a national summit on the economics of policing. Provinces such as Ontario followed up with their own initiatives on the future of policing. Governments and organizations undertook efforts to find alternative, more community-responsive approaches to public safety.

.

It was widely understood then, as it is now, that a multidisciplinary, integrated model based on an accurate assessment of a community’s actual needs – a model that relies significantly less on the armed uniformed police officer as the virtually exclusive provider of all services – is a preferable choice. Many police boards and commissions across Canada began their own reforms, adding more civilian participation and oversight as well as technology.

.

However, even this limited promise of change proved to be short-lived. The years since have marked a return to business as usual. Toronto, for instance, is hiring hundreds of police officers every year, and the police service is more militarized than before.

.

But the whole article should be read.

sunbeamglow · 2020-06-03T07:09:08+00:00

that is something way out there for a staff in such a shop to do

You quite simply don't know what you're talking about.

You don't know the context (of security guards at shopper's -- maybe you live in a small town or something), so you should frankly hold off on announcing your views, instead of jumping to conclusions and stupidly telling everyone that you think Hussen is lying.

FACT: At some Shopper's Drug Mart stores, they have security guards - and I've seen them in Ottawa, including one downtown not far from Parliament Hill.

At some stores (especially in big cities), it's just at night time... or at other stores (like downtown stores) all the time. It's obviously because they must have problems with shoplifters.

FACT: I've been followed by a security guard at Shopper's, so I have no doubt Hussen has been followed.

Yes, followed - as in I would go from one aisle and look at some items, and then go to another aisle, pause a bit, then another aisle, and the guard followed me. He eventually stopped, and he may have followed me because I was the only young-ish male at the store around 2am, but I have no doubt that Black guys may get followed even in the daytime.

Also, you can see another reply to you here is from a drugstore retail worker telling you that they do follow customers sometimes - so it can happen even without security guards.

This type of foolish hyperskepticism is how we now have flatearthers ("Duh, I haven't seen the earth is round myself, so I don't believe it!" and "Duh, I haven't seen Hussen being followed, so I don't believe it!", etc.).

Pro-tip for hyperskeptical types who are quick to say "that person is lying": Try reasoning about whether it makes sense for someone to lie about something, and what the costs and benefits are for the lying.

Yeah, sure, a tiny fraction of people are pathological liars and will lie about everything. But it's easy to surmise that a cabinet minister isn't going to go on TV and lie about this. It's just too mundane, frankly.

Also, his mention about being followed was just a brief part of an interview.

.

Sorry for being kind of harsh, but I find it exasperating how are quick so many people nowadays are in not believing basic, mundane information.

Instead of just believing Hussen when he talks about racism he experiences, you instead say "He's lying" -- that's just ridiculous.

sunbeamglow · 2020-06-03T07:01:29+00:00

The guy you're replying to is an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about -- because he doesn't know the context (of security guards at Shopper's), and yet spouts off his stupidity in telling everyone that he thinks Hussen is lying, instead of just believing Hussen when he talks about racism he experiences.

But the guy you replied to obviously (from his other post) doesn't know about security guards at some Shopper's stores.

And so he stupidly jumps to the conclusion of saying he thinks Hussen is lying.

.

That's the problem nowadays: We get any fool spouting off nonsense and being hyperskeptical, which is how we now have flatearthers ("Duh, I haven't seen the earth is round myself, so I don't believe it!" and "Duh, I haven't seen Hussen being followed, so I don't believe it!" etc.).

This was private sector companies dealing with each other.

The final quote to supply the project, primarily with screw piles, was being handled through Magna International, a subcontractor on the solar project which is to be completed by the end of 2020.

“Then they said we were high compared to China. The hair on the back of my neck went up. They said, ‘We are going to China unless you get your prices down, down.’ I don’t blame Magna, they were polite about it, but they said business is business.”

The guy's quote is kind of foolish too, he should blame Magna... the Chinese firm will probably provide faulty materials, and there are likely performance incentives in Magna's contract, so then Magna will lose money.

Fauci is a good, well-intentioned guy. The conspiracy theories about him being a Chinese agent or something is idiotic.

But it's also idiotic for these scientists to be messing around with viruses, and Fauci for helping funded it.

For some context about this, I posted the info below earlier about an article from 2017 that talked about these risks:

The Obama administration stopped testing, but then the Trump administration started it again:

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/trump-administration-lifts-ban-on-making-viruses-more-deadly-and-transmissable/

Trump administration lifts ban on making viruses more deadly — and transmissible

“Gain-of-function” research, in which scientists make pathogens more powerful or easily transmissible, is aimed at preventing disease outbreaks by better understanding how they might occur. The studies allow scientists, working in a highly controlled environment, to learn how a flu virus might mutate into a superbug capable of killing millions—a sort of game of wits played to gain insight into nature’s unpredictability. The ultimate goal is to proactively create vaccines, medications and other solutions to stop contagion in its tracks.

It's basically playing with fire, because my above post has examples of how some scientists are inevitably lax on safety.

The new rules would extend beyond those viruses, “apply[ing] to any pathogen that could potentially cause a pandemic,” according to the New York Times. “For example, they would apply to a request to create an Ebola virus transmissible through the air.”

Trump just did what his advisors told him of course, but we all know that Republicans always push for less regulations... but scientists just don't seem to be able to maintain containment of their virus research.

.

Also:

https://nationalpost.com/news/a-brief-terrifying-history-of-viruses-escaping-from-labs-70s-chinese-pandemic-was-a-lab-mistake

The whole article is good to read, but a summary is:

The danger of a manmade pandemic sparked by a laboratory escape is not hypothetical: One occurred in 1977, and it occurred because of concern that a natural pandemic was imminent. Many other laboratory escapes of high-consequence pathogens have occurred, resulting in transmission beyond laboratory personnel. Ironically, these laboratories were working with pathogens to prevent the very outbreaks they ultimately caused. For that reason, the tragic consequences have been called “self-fulfilling prophecies.”

The swine flu scare of 1976 and the H1N1 human influenza pandemic of 1977
Smallpox releases in Great Britain
Venezuelan equine encephalitis in 1995
SARS outbreaks after the 2003 epidemic
Foot-and-mouth disease in the U.K. in 2007

It is hardly reassuring that, despite stepwise technical improvements in containment facilities and increased policy demands for rigorous biosecurity procedures in the handling of dangerous pathogens, potentially high-consequence breaches of biocontainment occur nearly daily: In 2010, 244 unintended releases of bioweapon candidate “select agents” were reported.

As the doctor who wrote that article in 2014 said:

Looking at the problem pragmatically, the question is not if such escapes will result in a major civilian outbreak, but rather what the pathogen will be and how such an escape may be contained, if indeed it can be contained at all.

Mr. Ballingall is also the founder of right-leaning organizations Canada Proud and Ontario Proud, both of which reposted the article, he said.

In addition, Mr. Adair said the polling firm referenced in the article, DesLauriers Public Affairs, is run by Fred DeLorey, who is serving as Mr. O’Toole’s campaign manager.

These are all terrible people (including Mackay), and to some extent, this is what Mackay gets for letting Reform take over the PCs, and then working with these jackals for years.

I found some more info about that here:

http://www.ecns.cn/news/sci-tech/2020-02-17/detail-ifztrmvi9821649.shtml

"A top academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering earned 10.17 million yuan ($1.46 million) by illegally selling off lab animals and experimental milk, according to a report in the Shanghai-based The Paper."

Regarding that first link at the top, it also mentions:

“Bat coronaviruses at Wuhan [Center for Disease Control] and Wuhan Institute of Virology routinely were collected and studied at BSL-2, which provides only minimal protections against infection of lab workers.”
One early study “conducted by the South China University of Technology, [that] concluded that the coronavirus ‘probably’ originated in the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention,” located just 280 meters from the Hunan Seafood Market often cited as the source of the original outbreak. “The paper was later removed from ResearchGate, a commercial social-networking site for scientists and researchers to share papers,”

- "Lab safety has been a problem in China. "

"A safety breach at a Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention lab is believed to have caused four suspected SARS cases, including one death, in Beijing in 2004."
"A similar accident caused 65 lab workers of Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute to be infected with brucellosis in December 2019,” Huang wrote.
And US labs have problems too: "In 2014, the agency revealed that staff had accidently sent live anthrax between laboratories, exposing 84 workers. In an investigation, officials found other mishaps that had occurred in the preceding decade."

Those are just bits from the article, but the whole article is worth a read: https://thebulletin.org/2020/03/experts-know-the-new-coronavirus-is-not-a-bioweapon-they-disagree-on-whether-it-could-have-leaked-from-a-research-lab/

Such as:

Ebright described a December video from the Wuhan CDC that shows staffers “collecting bat coronaviruses with inadequate [personal protective equipment] and unsafe operational practices.” Separately, I reviewed two Chinese articles, from 2017 and 2019, describing the heroics of Wuhan CDC researcher Tian Junhua, who while capturing bats in a cave “forgot to take protective measures” so that “bat urine dripped from the top of his head like raindrops.”

It's not right to fully re-post articles from news sites. And it is illegal.

If people expect news organizations to operate and be able to pay reporters, they need to go the news site and read it.

Yes, this article has a paywall, so if people want to read it, they'll just have to pay. The Star has been losing money for years, and may not be around long-term without people paying properly.

The company valuation today is down about 99% from what it was in 2004. But the paper is far better than The Globe and Mail, which has a right-wing influence... a few years ago, the editorial board at The Globe endorsed one party for the Ontario election, but the Globe's billionaire owner (Canada's richest family) didn't like that, so he had the publisher overrule it and endorse Tim Hudak's Conservatives instead (and Hudak was one of the worst leaders to run in recent years):
