"The leader's job is to pick the common ground between all of those types of conservatives," Scheer told a news conference after his win.
 "Each and every kind of conservative plays an important role," he said. "The leader's role is to find common ground among all those types of conservatives."

All Conservatives will be welcomed, iincluding libertarian conservatives, social conservatives, democratic reform conservatives and fiscal conservatives.

The "common ground among all those types of conservatives " mentioned

will come by leading through application of the progressive-conservative

principle of choosing among possible directions that which best serves

the present and future interests of the whole country and all the people,

not simply part of the country and certain categories of people.

From: Larry Kazdan
Subject:Re:  Rising program expenses propel fed 2016-17 deficit to $21.8B: preliminary estimate,  Andy Blatchford, 05/26/2017

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/canada/feds-run-218b-deficit-in-16-17-putting-them-close-to-target-early-analysis-424607373.html

Canada has a floating non-convertible fiat currency - the Canadian dollar - and such dollars can be created at will by the central bank.  A Library of Parliament research document plainly states: "By recording new and equal amounts on the asset and liability sides of its balance sheet, the Bank of Canada creates money through a few keystrokes. The federal government can spend the newly created bank deposits in the Canadian economy if it wishes."

To prevent inflation, there is indeed a limit (determined by available resources) to what our government can spend.  But we currently have much unused productive capacity, including the talents of 1.3 million Canadians actively seeking work who desire to earn income and contribute to society. 

During WWII we used the Bank of Canada to help pay the salaries of every third adult male who were serving in the military.  Why does the federal government not mobilize the unemployed today to do useful work by using money which costs nothing to create?  Unfortunately, pundits and ideologues constantly urge the government to protect an arbitrary and irrelevant debt-to-GDP ratio and to tolerate real world losses including the suffering of the long-term unemployed and their families.

1. How the Bank of Canada Creates Money for the Federal Government: Operational and Legal Aspects

"By recording new and equal amounts on the asset and liability sides of its balance sheet, the Bank of Canada creates money through a few keystrokes. The federal government can spend the newly created bank deposits in the Canadian economy if it wishes."
***
"The Bank of Canada's money creation for the Government of Canada is an internal government process. This means that external factors, such as financial markets dysfunction, cannot cause the federal government to run out of money."

How can a country�s financial condition remain sound and stable when the state can issue money whenever needed?

The danger of spending too much money is inflation; there might also be an impact on exchange rates. The solution to the first problem is to avoid spending more once full employment is reached; and to carefully target spending even before full employment to avoid bottlenecks. The solution to the second is to float the currency.


3. William Mitchell is Professor in Economics and Director of the Centre of Full Employment and Equity (CofFEE), University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia http://bilbo.economicoutlook.net/blog/?p=31487

"Forget the deficit. Forget the fiscal balance. Focus on what matters � employment, equity, environmental sustainability. And as we would soon see � the fiscal balance will just be whatever it is � a relatively uninteresting and irrelevant statistical artifact."

ELITIST SURRENDER: BBC Host Says "Get Used To" � Islamist Terrorism
We know the elitists have failed to keep our societies safe. It turns out virtue-signaling and political correctness can't deter evil killers.

Yet, rather than take any steps to keep the citizens of the West safe , such as banning all those who leave our country to fight for ISIS
and try to come back � the elites are pushing an incredibly disturbing line of thinking: They want us to get used to terrorist attacks.
First instinct of the elites: Surrender us to violence and terror

The elites live behind walls and layers of security, so when they say "we need to get used to terrorism,"� they aren't talking about themselves
they're talking about us.

It's always the rest of us who get put in danger, and the elites are all too happy to surrender our safety if it means they can avoid tough decisions and continue to preach "diversity"� and "tolerance",� even as they refuse to condemn the horribly intolerant ideology of radical Islamism.

Katty Kay's ( BBC) statement shows the underlying attitude of the globalist elites. They aren't prepared to stand up for freedom or defend our right to be secure.

When the going gets tough, they'll retreat behind their security and their walls and leave us to deal with the consequences.

It's no wonder that the establishment elitist media is losing more and more public trust every day. They don't share our experiences, and they don't have anything at risk. As a result, they will never get to the truth, and they'll never represent us.

In Canada we should Protect ourselves from The Liberal Trudeau Government who is not considering the future Security issues in Canada by bringing in Muslim refugees that have not been properly cleared by our Customs and Immigration agents especially those that have been crossing into our borders from the USA with No Documentation.

Contact your Local MP to voice your opinion against open immigration.
