“#Bill Morneau\u2019s wrist is slapp<\/a>ed yet again<\/strong>”

You can take Bill Morneau<\/strong> out of politics, but politics isn\u2019t ready to leave Bill Morneau. The commissioner of Canada elections,\u00a0Yves C\u00f4t\u00e9, slapped the former FinMin with a tiny $300 fine<\/strong> for violating the Elections Act last fall. At a speech to the chamber of commerce in Oakville, Ont., Morneau took a moment to pump up the campaign of local candidate\u2014now procurement minister\u2014Anita Anand<\/strong>. They also posed together in photos. That\u2019s a no-no for a sitting minister who\u2019s forbidden from using the public purse for partisan purposes. Morneau was required to post about the admonishment on social media<\/a>, which he did<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As Morneau broke the rules, one of his cabinet colleagues creatively stayed within them. Just two days before the election call, as Liberals sprinkled spending across Canada, then-foreign minister Chrystia Freeland<\/strong> doled out more than $200,000 to a union in Windsor, Ont., for apprenticeship training. Sandra Pupatello<\/strong>, the high-profile local get for the Liberals,\u00a0joined\u00a0Freeland at the event. Pupatello\u2019s campaign insisted Windsor would have a seat at the cabinet table, and more federal dollars, if she won. Her visibility at that funding announcement was no doubt calculated\u2014but absolutely within the rules.<\/p>\n

WE is leaving. The Liberals\u2019 troubles are not.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>On the heels of WE Charity\u2019s dramatic decision to wind down Canadian operations, the notion that the summertime political drama will all just fade away is doubtless tempting to Liberals and their friends. But as Marie-Danielle Smith writes in\u00a0Maclean\u2019s<\/em>, several key questions about decisions made by ministers and their public servants were left hanging by prorogation. Even as the WE empire crumbles<\/strong>, the opposition in Ottawa won\u2019t let up once Parliament is back in session.<\/p>\n

A blow for private health care:<\/strong>\u00a0A B.C. judge has ruled against an orthopaedic surgeon in the province who opened a surgery centre in 1996\u2014and argued that patients should be able to pay for faster health care to avoid even worse problems down the road. Dr. Brian Day<\/strong>\u2018s fight against certain provisions in the Medicare Protection Act, which includes several patients as co-plaintiffs, stretches back a decade. But in his decision (read all 880 pages right here),\u00a0Justice John Steeves found that the law does \u201cnot deprive the right to life or liberty\u201d of the plaintiffs. The tussle\u2019s next stop could be the Supreme Court<\/strong> in Ottawa.<\/p>\n

The new Conservative leader\u2019s overtures to Western Canada have gone over like a lead balloon among the Wexit set. \u201cIt didn\u2019t take long for Erin O\u2019Toole to throw the West under the national bus in hopes of winning those ever so precious votes from Central Canada,\u201d read a Wexit fundraising letter<\/strong> that slammed O\u2019Toole\u2019s \u201cfast capitulation to the international climate crowd\u201d after he committed to the Paris Agreement goals. The Tories, reads the letter, are even worse for the West than the Liberals because they take every vote for granted. The only way ahead, say the Wexiteers? Total regional domination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Canada is a trading nation:<\/strong>\u00a0Over at Fort Pearson, the bureaucrats at global affairs were curious about the national mood on international trade. So they paid the Ekos polling firm to ask 2,089 of us for our thoughts. The final report, recently published online, concluded that Canadians \u201cremain unified and bullish\u201d<\/strong> on trade\u2014and the results show \u201cremarkable stability in positive attitudes\u201d that buck a global uptick<\/strong> in protectionism. The love-in isn\u2019t without criticism. Forty-two per cent of respondents felt the benefits of trade are \u201cenjoyed almost exclusively by large corporations and wealthy investors.\u201d But Ekos says Canadians, who broadly accept that big companies drive economic growth<\/strong>, \u201cdo not appear too bothered by this apparent lack of equity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kevin Grandia<\/strong>, a Vancouver-based climate activist who heads up a progressive comms shop, lived out a bizarre viral episode<\/strong> on Twitter yesterday. Grandia posted an \u201coffhand tweet trying to be funny\u201d that featured an unflattering photo of President Donald Trump<\/strong> playing golf. \u201cSaw Not Fat trending,\u201d he wrote, \u201cand totally thought it was something Trump said.\u201d In a bizarre twist, the president retweeted the joke made at his own expense. \u201cI\u2019m so confused,\u201d wrote Grandia, who used the burst of engagement to give some attention to World Suicide Prevention Day<\/strong>. Hours later, the retweet mysteriously remained.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t \u2018retreat\u2019 a bit defeatist?<\/strong>\u00a0Yesterday, Prime Minister\u00a0Justin Trudeau<\/strong> announced a cabinet retreat in Ottawa starting next Monday. CabMins will focus on what you think\u2014the pandemic, the Throne Speech, and how to \u201cbuild back better\u201d\u2014as they cobble together a \u201cdetailed vision for the future.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n
