Comey on Trump: “It was very concerning”

Wow.  Here’s Comey’s prepared statement.  It’s going to be quite a morning, tomorrow.

Screen Shot 2017-06-07 at 3.16.55 PM

This is obstruction of justice, by any reasonable standard.  The only reason why Comey does not come out clearly and say that, I suspect, is because he knows he will be asked this tomorrow: “Well, if you felt it was obstruction of justice, why didn’t you act before now?”  It’s a fair question.

Thus, he left it a bit vague – the “I could be wrong” sophistry.  It’s a duller blade, but it’s a knife that still kills.

Everything changes, tomorrow.  Donald Trump is nearing the final act, whether he is aware of it or not.

 


JDL arrests in Kevin Metcalfe case

The video showing the assault on Kevin here. Update from Kevin here:

So I just wanted to provide an update on the assault case I’m involved in.

I just got off the phone with 52 Division and can confirm pending charges against two individuals: member of the Jewish Defence League Max Bocknek, and a previously unknown individual, Michael Smith.

Bocknek is currently being processed at 52 Division and Smith has been issued a summons to turn himself in to the local police in his community. This will be converted into a warrant if his voluntary appearance is not forthcoming.

It’s been a rough ride personally and as you can see from the chart – four involved parties are still on the street. I can confirm that more charges are pending and will provide updates when those are available.

Thank you to everyone who has expressed support over the last month and I hope you all rest a little easier knowing that there will be a smaller number of these violent cultural supremacists at rallies in the coming months.

Also, if you’re a member of the public who can identify the ‘unknown’ (top center) in my attached rogue’s gallery it would be greatly appreciated.  Kevin

Ontario snap election, pro and con

Rumours are rampant. Tweeters are a-Twitter. Pundits are prognosticating.

Herewith, the Grit pros and cons.

PRO

  • eliminates the PC’s huge financial advantage
  • capitalizes on post-budget bounce
  • potentially catches the opposition off-guard 
  • recognizes that things could get worse the longer they wait

CON

  • we could lose – badly

Rebel, rebel, your face is a mess

Here’s what The Rebel is saying about a fine Canadian company, Sears, which quietly declined to advertise with The Rebel. 


Got that? Okay. And here’s just one thing found on The Rebel’s web site:


If you can make sense of any of that, drop me a line. 


Saving Trump from himself

Now in HuffPo!

My preferred graf:

You’ll never get him off Twitter. Ever. He thinks he’s The Shakespeare of Twitter. So, invite people to tweet at him about challenges they face. Have him commit to reading a certain number every day, and develop solutions for them. On Twitter. It’ll satisfy his craving for attention, and it’ll maybe even help out some citizens.


I think Dave Khan can be Premier of Alberta

My friend Dave was elected Alberta Liberal leader on the weekend. He’s an amazing guy, and I believe he’s got what it takes to win.

He’s also got a few things in his favour:

  • The ideological extremes are arrogant, and have (stupidly) left the Alberta political centre wide open
  • The notion that a Liberal option is unelectable in Alberta is just not true – Trudeau showed everyone that in 2015, even in Calgary
  • The Wildrose/PC internal battles aren’t over – they’re just starting.  And the NDP remains very unpopular.  There’s room for a smart, centrist Liberal option in Alberta – because Alberta has changed

The Alberta Party is a stalking horse for the Right and the Left.  Khan’s Liberals are the only sensible option for modern Alberta.

Watch this guy.


Help Sleeping Giants shut down “alt-Right” sites in Canada

What’s Sleeping Giants? Basically, it’s citizen-run Twitter accounts which try to persuade advertisers to boycott far-Right web sites like Breitbart and The Rebel, (which was founded by Andrew Scheer’s top aide, BTW).

It works.  You can read about the results here and here and here.

There’s a Sleeping Giants Canada account, too.  It’s here.

What is Sleeping Giants Canada concerned about? Here’s just one example:

Go there, and use friendly persuasion to get companies to stop giving money to those who say they “hate Jews” and more.  Examples here and here and here.

Citizen power works.  Use it.



Scheer is a scheater

7,500 votes. 

That’s much more than the margin Scheer “won” by. That’s an actual scandal. 

But what would you expect from a leader whose campaign guru helped to found the alt-Right web site The Rebel?
