I see a few good things coming out of my (and many others) vote for the candidate most likely to achieve regime change in Ottawa in 2015.<br /><br />* Diplomatic & (esp) judicial appointments <br />* De-lousing the Senate and returning it to a non-issue (ie phony-election-time vote-grabber ala Harper & Mulcair)<br />* Tax conversation ... compare Trumps' plans and USA fubar to our focus on 'fairness' (not to say they achieve it but its a step)<br /><br />Meanwhile, after pledging allegiance to the Paris-Accord, getting the "social-license" for pipelines etc. is proving harder than he thought - witness the reality of the KM fight here vs the recent 'done-deal' bravado of the Feds and Alberta.<br />And privatization-by-stealth (infrastructure bank etc) is a tough sell.<br /><br />I fear we will have to endure another vote-split on the 'left' and a return to the odious CPC under fptp before we'll get electoral reform ... if ever. (and the NZ experience shows that the right will consolidate and prosper in any system where big-money still controls the puplic narrative.)<br /><br />~Meanwhile, a tiny step of foreign policy improvement is offset by the non-sense from our war-mongering-Ukrainian-nationalist minister, Freeland.Northern PoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670080478290108536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-1445811983347575902017-10-03T16:48:33.946-07:002017-10-03T16:48:33.946-07:00At least Trudeau had the good sense to replace Can...At least Trudeau had the good sense to replace Canada's ambassador to Israel. We went from Harper's "<a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/canada-to-replace-outspoken-pro-israel-envoy-with-career-diplomat/" rel="nofollow">outspoken pro-Israel envoy</a>" to a quiet career diplomat fresh off a posting to Afghanistan.<br /><br />CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
