Fuck off.

Fuck Carney.

We don’t need Poilievre 2.0, we need leadership.

Translation:“Give me everything I want or else I’ll keep pourimg gasoline on the separstist fire.”

Marlaina can rot in hell with her fellow traitors.

“That crowd” that he created.

Kenney STARTED the ‘sovereign Alberta’ rhetoric. He lit the fire under the separatist movement in order to start more fights with Ottawa.

That dirty littly fucker is an amoral compulsive liar and a hypocrite. The only thing he really believes is his constant status as victim.

Jason Kenney deserves to be running scared for his life.

Good.

Heads should roll at CAS for failing to keep these poor kids safe, but the couple are sadistic psychopaths. I hope they rot in an overcrowded jail for the rest of their lives.

Crime.

Foreign-backed crime.

Then fuckin’ do something, Mark!

The UCP has been complicit in every aspect of separatism since Kenney took office. Smith is a close personal friend of Parker, head of the Centurion project implicated here, as well as Take Back Alberta. He is also on the hook for over $100k in fines for illegal election lobbying, which he proudly refuses to pay.

Get these fuckers in court, and get them in jail. Get Rath & co. arrested for treason. Get Smith charged for violating the Health Care Act.

For fuck’s sake, stop being ‘concerned’ and ACT!

Yep.

GTAV, Undertale, Elden Ring, and Myst.

Mom is stoned.

I remember it being common by the late '70s.

Zed. Zee is horrible.

Stand proud, Embrace Zed.

Canada has Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID). People can - with medical approval and assistance - choose to go out on their own terms.

Thank you for (a) insulting me, (b) belittling me, © providing incorrect information, (d) building a straw man, and (e) making an unrelated and silly conclusion.

Even if they did, he wouldn’t know and wouldn’t be able to benefit from it - unless there was an incredible amount of criminal fraud happening.

Well that’s something of a circular argument.

It’s absolutely true that placing investments in a blind trust isn’t divestment - but I didn’t really see why they considered full divestment (rather than a blind trust) necessary in the first place. The article made is sound like the committee just declared that as their goal.

Regardless, the public disclosure on a broader scale of politicians is a great idea. We deserve to see that.

I agree with what you say here, but my original question was why he should be forced to sacrifice the investments he had before he was in power - and why putting them in a blind trust is insufficient to keep him from profiting from his decisions as PM.

THANK YOU!

This is the first substantive reason that anyone has given. I hadn’t thought about deferred maturation.

That said, if they can’t be exercised, that usually means he can’t fully divest himself of them, so he’d be facing the same issue.

In either case, I guess the answer would have to be something like setting a fixed payment structure on them (maybe tied to a TSX index).

At the extreme end, forcing him to abandon all non-vested options wouldn’t be the end of the world.

Do you mean within the US or trust internationally?

The rest of the world has begrudgingly let the US dominate world commerce, culture, and morality. Now they’re realizing how much of their own identity they’ve given away, and are struggling to recover from it. Critically, even if the US ever gets their shit together again, nobody else wants to go back to the same relationship they had. We’ve been forced out of an abusive relationship, and now we’re free.

So the PM can’t have any investments?

This seems like overkill to me. Are they supposed to take the full capital gains hit and then stuff their money in a bank account while they’re PM?

What is insufficient about a blind trust?

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, Meta, Nvidia, and yes, Apple, are all in the surveilance sales industry. The tech they produce is irrelevant.
