What's next?

So, Carney -- with his smug face hanging out -- is going to bail out rich B.C. developers who have lost money on condos.  I know I've blogged about this before, but what an outrage!  How far will this go?  Are Toronto developers next?  Montreal?  Calgary?  How about individual home owners who have lost money in personal real estate transactions?

I mean, taking this to its logical conclusion, why not?  If Vancouver developers are eligible, so is everyone else.  It's insane and I think it's completely fraudulent.  Does the RCMP have anything to say about this blatant kickback scheme?  It may not be "technically" illegal -- like our recession  -- but it's definitely illegitimate, in my view.  

Of course, digging into all the numbered companies, contracts and sub-contracts you eventually get to Brookfield, so there's your answer right there.  

Speaking of deals where the fix is in, who do you think will be behind the successful bid to renovate 24 Sussex?  The fact that Carney is convening an esteemed panel of experts to evaluate the bids is immaterial.  We all know who will get the deal.  Moise Safdie might as well not bother getting out of bed because my money's on Brookfield.

I'm glad that 24 Sussex is finally going to be fixed, but the process stinks.  Do you think it will be renovated, or torn down and an ugly new structure erected in its place.  I pray it will be the former, but I fear it will be the latter.  Architects love to make bold, read ludicrous, statements and this one will probably be a whopper.

But the topper is that as Carney is handing failed states and sh-t hole countries billions, he's asking ordinary Canadians to dig into their own pockets to chip in to cover the renovation!  How much change can we find in the back of the couch cushions?  It' unconscionable.  

Speaking of shady deals, look into who's getting all the contracts in Ukraine, via Chrystia Freeland.  Ding, ding, ding, right again!  And speaking of Ukraine, Carney's given Zelensky and his gang of convicted criminals $25.5 billion.  Our deficit is $78 billion, so that means Ukraine is responsible for 33% of Canada's entire deficit.  Why does no one -- except me -- look into this?

Watching the World Cup, I could not be more bored.  The players are too good, which makes for ho-hum soccer.  I tuned into a documentary about Vinny Jones, the great British footballer.  It was spectacular!  

The great Vinny Jones.  Wouldn't want to run into him in a dark alley.

I also watched a series about Sunderland and its fanatical fans.  Again, thrilling!  But at the FIFA level, strikers and defenders are so good they're dull.  But a lot of people are spending millions going to matches.

Odd that all the so-called "Canadian" fans are zealously routing for other countries.  That's because they're not really "Canadian" when it comes to soccer.  They're supporters of their home teams, which isn't Canada.

Me?  I remain a Habs fan.
