Trudeau government guts Revenue Agency...

...Canadians will no longer be subject to yearly auditing of their finances under a new... wait a minute...our aboriginal brothersOkay, false alarm... apparently this only applies to our aboriginal brothers & sisters...
OTTAWA — The federal Liberal government showed more solidarity with Canada’s First Nations on Friday as it lifted sanctions against indigenous communities that have not complied with a Conservative spending-transparency law. Bennett... also said she’s suspending court actions against those First Nations not complying with the law.
So, more special laws... for special people.
Aaron Wudrick, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation's director, said the move makes no sense.

“A law without consequence for non-compliance is a toothless law,” he said. “As such, soon many First Nations people across the country will again be in the dark as to how their elected leaders spend public dollars. Suspending enforcement of this law is wrong, and completely undermines the very principles this government claims to be advancing.”
What do our aboriginal friends say?
Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde welcomed what he called a “new approach,” predicting it would result in “real accountability by all parties.”
So Perry, removing the legal requirement to be accountable will result in "real accountability?" No wonder people living on reserves are shitting in plastic buckets and drowning in substance abuse, family violence and assorted endemic criminality.

I wonder... would removing the onus to momentarily cease forward motion at stop signs improve traffic safety?

...maybe trust-fund millionaire Justin can explain it...
University dining halls aren’t exactly famous for serving gourmet dishes, but Oberlin students say their meals aren’t merely bad—they are racially inauthentic, and thus, a form of microaggression.

Liberal students at a Canadian university, for example, recently shut down a free yoga class for disabled students because yoga has its origins in Hinduism, meaning it doesn’t belong to white people and they shouldn’t practice it.

There’s something deliciously ironic about Oberlin students—some of the most privileged people in the world, as evidenced by the $50,000 they pay annually in tuition—whining about the bun-thickness of meals prepared by lowly paid cafeteria workers.
Perhaps the "End Times" are, justifiably, truly upon us.
