Everyone assumes Fianna Fail would only ever be one of TWO parties in a coalition. If you lose as many as 20 seats, as some would argue you will, and Labour can't make up the numbers (should they be so inclined), what third party would you turn to?
One could argue there were more than two partners in the '97 - '02 coalition. Either way I can't see the party loosing 20 plus seats AND forming a government. Anything less than a 20-seat loss and the Labour party should be able to do the business, particularly if the coalition dips in to the FF gene pool.
FF are well past their sell by date. The only thing they are capable of leading is a frenzied headlong dash to get their snouts in the trough.
If you are only capable of simplistic name calling, rather than engaging in the debate, just get off the website.
Yep the only way it could happen is if there was a massive rise in the number of independents, which would look unlikely in the current circumstances. If it did actually occur, my personal preference would be the greens. But as Max said, its very unlikely.
Great! We've got wafflers like Dempsey, the Wicklow Windbag, Trickey Mickey (the guy who doesn't read his briefs), Biffo, who'll yawn you into submission! Vote F?
Wouldn't Independents make up the rest? If FF fell to 58-62, Labour get 20-24, then a couple of Indos would be enough.
The Shinners are gearing up for a phone call after the big day.
They have a dissident outfit that has already broken away because Jerry has agreed to join with the second wealthiest party(FF) in the state.
Dont expect either of the new coalition to lower your taxes though-unless your a very fat cat.!
Cute Hoor,What do you think of my web article on the Morris Tribunal.?
The signs are that FG and Labour are ging to lose bigtime at the next election.
This leaves the back door open for FF to reclaim the seats lost at the last election.
If things go to plan, FF will be the largest party after the election with the unenviable task of finding a coalition partner.
I think SF and some high profile independents would be prepared to broker a deal to govern this country back to full economic health.
The arrogance of the f-failures on these old threads..."Yea.. well if it dosen't work out with Labour, we can have the Greens". That's what 15 years uninterrupted power does.
Clare Daly might be a good coalition partner for FF. She has form acting as a mudguard for dodgy builders.
The signs are that you are a spoofer who has little to be doing other than resurrecting nonsense threads that are over 6 years old.
Even for you the above makes no sense. First off, no one above says "Yea.. well if it dosen't work out with Labour, we can have the Greens". One poster stated that is the OP scenario were to come to pass (as it did) that their personal preference would be the Green party, and guess what, that's exactly what happened. Also, "15 years of uninterrupted power"??? The above posts you're referencing is from 2006, 9 years after Fianna Fáil took office after the 1997 election. Flav, I worry for you at times!
Everyone assumes Fianna Fail would only ever be one of TWO parties in a coalition.
Most people hope and pray that the thieving cnuts are gone from government forever.
What part of "Fianna Fail deliberately, and with malice aforethought, bankrupted the Country in order to line their own pockets and the pockets of their investors" do you think we have forgotten?
Hopefully the next election will see the wannabees go the same way as their kleptocratic heroes in full flavour FF.
One thing about your post gives me hope for the future and that is the fact that opinions like yours count for nowt in the real world.
In the real world, the people are fed up with the cuts being dictated to FG/Lab from the Troika.
Free travel for pensioners is a sacret cow in this country and should not be even considered tobe cut.
It only costs the government €75 million / annum.
Earnest Blythe took a shilling of the old age pension over 70 years ago - if the blueshirts attempt to take anything more of the pensioners they will never have their arses in a ministrrial Mercedes again.

Geely's EV brand Zeekr seeks to double sales in 2023, expand in Europe
Chinese electric vehicle brand Zeekr aims to double sales in 2023 to about 140,000 vehicles and plans to expand sales in Europe, Chief Executive Andy An told Reuters .
Zeekr, a brand created by Chinese automaker Geely, sold 72,000 vehicles in 2022, mostly in China. Its 001 model, priced at about 300,000 yuan ($43,600), competes with Tesla Model Y crossover and other luxury models in the increasingly competitive Chinese market.
Tesla has cut prices and trimmed production in China as it faces intensifying competition from Chinese brands such as Zeekr. Tesla sales in December fell to the lowest level in five months.
A second Zeekr model, the 009, will go into production this month
Zeekr sees opportunity for growth in Europe, An said in an interview at the CES 2023 annual technology conference in Las Vegas. Later this year, Zeekr plans to begin selling vehicles there with assisted driving systems engineered with Mobileye, he added.
Zeekr and parent Geely have a European base with Volvo Car AB, which Geely owns a majority stake in.
Zeekr and Waymo, Alphabet robotaxi unit, showed a prototype of an autonomous ride service vehicle at CES.
An said Zeekr plans to build vehicles for Waymo in China, but U.S. production is a possibility, "depending on the market situation."
Zeekr is not planning to enter the U.S. consumer market, An said.
Last month, Zeekr filed for a U.S. initial public offering, without providing details on the size or timing. Reuters previously reported Zeekr was aiming to raise more than $1 billion in the IPO and seeking a valuation of more than $10 billion.

Amazon.com introduced its long-awaited set-top box on Wednesday and the big selling points seem to be voice-activated search and gaming capabilities.
That's a differentiator from Roku, Apple TV and others, which rely on painstaking letter- by-letter scrolling and clicking to search for shows and other content. At an event in New York, Amazon demonstrated how users can speak into the remote control and the device quickly displays relevant content on the television screen.
The Fire TV device also will feature thousands of games, many at under $2, and Amazon will offer a $39.99 controller to play games like "Minecraft." As well, Amazon introduced a new game called "Sev Zero" for the new device and promised others.

The Spring House Institute in Tallahassee hosted a Fundraiser this past Saturday, April 27th. This fundraiser featured a silent auction of artwork from Florida State University's Department of Art. Attendees of this inaugural fundraiser also enjoyed food and drinks from the Hotel Duval, music by the Fried Turkeys and a screening of Pete Winter's document about the Spring House restoration with a presentation by Kevin Schweizer, lead architect on the restoration program, about the plans for the future of this project.
The Spring House is the only private residence in Florida designed and built by Frank Lloyd Wright. This house, designed in 1952 for George Lewis, is the focus of a restoration effort to preserve this local jewel. With the help of community support through fundraising, the Spring House will one day be used for a broad spectrum of classes, workshops, seminars, and other cultural events. Several FSU art instructors took students to the Spring House to work and study over the past few months. During this time the students studied the nature and architecture of the area to create incredible works of art.
The Depa rtment of Art faculty and students thoroughly enjoyed working and learning in the Frank Lloyd Wright environment and the students enthusiastically created works for the auction. We look forward to participating in future benefits and many more scholarly projects with the Spring House Institute.

Well, I am back, and I heard I missed the warm sunny day this week. Oh well I was in a warm sunny state and that was just what I needed, even though vacation = letting my guard down = getting a nasty cold in California. Now I am back and on the job again. What did I do in LA? Ate piles of Korean BBQ, then incredibly good and cheap Thai food in Thai Town. And great ramen on Sawtelle near Giant Robot. I did a little shopping and quite a bit of lazy sitting in Venice. We found an incredible bookstore called Equator Books that had tons of rare art books and the like, which inspires me to get yet more books for the shop.
I got a bunch of new greeting cards in, the stocks were a bit depleted, I have put some new designs out (including a very sweet Alice in Wonderland-inspired set) and am waiting for a couple more weeks to unveil the Valentine's Day selection. They are cute but not too sentimental.
The Matt & Nat bags and wallets are due any day now. You probably know of this line, it's all vegan bags that really look and feel and wear like leather. They are super stylish to boot!
What else - there will be someone taking photos of the shop for a magazine tomorrow so you may see me running around, cleaning and rearranging things all morning. That's all for now.


This is a workshop-retreat for soul healing and learning tools that you may use for your own well-being and for helping others. We will start at 10:00am and finish by 6:00pm.

Suicidal Angels est un groupe de thrash metal grec. Il est formé en 2001 par le chanteur et guitariste du groupe, Nick Melissourgos. Le groupe trouve son inspiration dans les compositions des grandes formations de Thrash metal des années 80 et 1990, en particulier du groupe américain Slayer.

Islam and the West ( 2 Feb 2017, NewAgeIslam.Com)
Who Speaks For Muslims? The Saudis, The Turks Or The Germans?
By David Hearst
America's darkest hour in peace time is also the darkest hour for Arab leadership whose silence over the Muslim ban will come to haunt them
The reaction to Donald Trump's executive order to ban refugees and Muslims from seven countries has been unprecedented. Flash crowds descended on JFK and Dulles international airports on Saturday. When the New York Taxi Drivers Association held an hour-long protest at Trump's ban, and Uber attempted to profit from it by turning off their surge price, a campaign was launched to delete the Uber app from phones.
Demonstrations erupted in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, San Francisco, New York and Washington. Britain's prime minister Theresa May hardly had time to unpack her bags from her trip to Washington, than she found that her newly formed "special relationship" with Trump had turned into a domestic political liability.
On a cold Monday evening, thousands of protesters jammed Whitehall outside Downing Street. A petition calling for Trump's state visit to Britain to be cancelled has already got 1m signatures.
Not since the invasion of Iraq in 2003 has anyone witnessed scenes like this. And a lot has happened in the Middle East since then, including the Gaza war, Libyan intervention, the massacre of protesters in Rabaa, Cairo and the fall of Aleppo. None of these major events has elicited anything like the same mass indignation.
Western Moral Outrage
It is not engendered by the issue itself: the heat is not being generated by a policy debate about the best way to prevent Islamic State (IS) attacks on Western soil. Anyone with a shred of knowledge about IS would tell you that Trump's ban leaves the door open to the countries that provide the bulk of their foreign fighters.
One young protest against the ban at San Francisco International Airport on January 29, 2017 (AFP)
Nor is the fury coming primarily from Muslim communities or from the fringes of political discourse. It comes from mainstream politicians, lawyers, actors, singers and academics. The president of Harvard University Drew Faust wrote in an email that nearly half of her school deans were immigrants from India, China, Jamaica, Northern Ireland and Iran. The outrage is deep and widespread. It is, first and foremost, a moral outburst, but it also touches on the explosive issue of identity. Slamming the door shut on immigrants, some of them fleeing political oppression and war is not what millions of sons and daughters of American immigrants and indeed European ones think their countries are about. Woodie Guthrie's This Land is Your Land is suddenly back in vogue.
Sensing this, German Chancellor Angela Merkel used her first call with the week-old US president to lecture him on what being a signatory to the Geneva Convention means.
For once, just once, a substantial body of western public opinion, so often accused of hypocrisy in the Arab world, is living up to its name as a force that believes that their nation's behaviour should be based on values.
Deafening Silence of Saudi
What then are the so-called leaders of the Arab world saying to Trump at this critical point? If Merkel read Trump the riot act, then how indignant and forthright was the Saudi King Salman, a man who calls himself the leader of the Muslim world?
What did the custodian of the Two Holy Mosques have to say to Trump about his ban on Muslims, or even the distinction the US president drew between Muslims and Christians in Arab countries?
It's not as if Salman had problems with access to the president. We know the two men talked for over an hour. They talked about Iran, safe zones in Syria, security co-ordination.
But Reuters reported that a senior Saudi source "had no word " on whether the two leaders discussed Trump's order to put a four-month hold on allowing refugees into the United States and temporarily ban travellers from Syria and six other Muslim-majority countries.
In other words, Salman said nothing. He could have held his tongue out of fear about what this crazy man in the White House will do next. That certainly was the motivation for shutting down Saudi Arabia's best foreign analyst, the journalist Jamal Khashoggi. (A similar thing happened to the Emirati academic and adviser Abdulkhaleq Abdullah). Or did Salman feel so desperate for US protection that he will do anything to get into Trump's good books?
Salman's deafening silence is not one of his memory lapses. The Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has also been told not to raise the awkward subject of Trump's proposal to move the US embassy to Jerusalem, either in the Arab League or in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
According to Arabi 21, Abbas has been assured that the US embassy will only be relocated to West Jerusalem. So that's okay then. Who exactly told Abbas this is not clear - but the message from his Arab brothers is clear. If he sticks his neck out, they will not have his back.
Erdogan's Short-Sighted Policy
If the leaders of the Arab world are quickly falling into line behind Trump, then so too, alas, is, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the new strong man of Turkey and a president soon to have enhanced powers. The Turkish president commended Trump for putting a CNN reporter "in his place" after the US president refused to take a question from the network's Jim Acosta, sparked after the news organisation published a report on Russian efforts to compromise the new incumbent of the Oval Office.
Erdogan's beef with the international media is long standing. He has accused them of publishing false information about the Gezi Park protests in 2013. However, his memories of CNN should not go as far back as that. It was a CNN affiliate, CNN Turk, which broadcast Erdogan's iPhone appeal to Turks to stand firm against the attempted coup in July last year. That broadcast probably saved his life. Erdogan already seems to have forgotten that.
This is an incredibly short-sighted policy. The most right-wing government in Israeli history will use Trump as a golden opportunity to pursue its agenda, which is to continue to advance its enormous footprint in the West Bank and continue its campaign against non-Jewish citizens of Israel and residents of Jerusalem. It will do so in the knowledge that it will not only face no resistance from Washington, but have its active encouragement.

The reaction to Trump represents an unparalleled opportunity for the Arab world. He has stirred a backlash in defence of refugees and travellers from Muslim countries, who find themselves denied access to universities, charities, foundations and think tanks on which the Arab elites themselves depend.
Islamophobia Debate Goes Mainstream
Trump has brought Islamophobia to the centre stage of the mainstream political debate. Suddenly the placards are saying: "We are all Muslims." Trump is contaminating his most vocal supporters such as Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, and alienating liberal Jews in the process. He's even reawakened painful memories of Jews arriving in America from the pogroms of Russia and Eastern Europe. He is doing something no Middle Eastern conflict has yet succeeded in doing: stirring the Western conscience.
At this very point in time, Arab leaders walk away, consumed by their calculations for preserving their own corrupt regimes. Muslim countries should be in the first line of defence of Palestine. Instead, they are sending out the message that they are not bothered. In Trump, they face a man who, for the first time in post-war US history, is abandoning the title of leader of the free world. Instead, Trump sees himself as leading the "civilised world", a concept that specifically excludes Muslims.
America's darkest hour in peace time is the darkest hour for Arab leadership too. They, like Trump, will soon find that they need the credibility they are now squandering by not standing up for what is right, unlike the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people fighting on their behalf on the streets of London, Washington and New York.
Shame on them. They richly deserve the fate that awaits them, when the peoples of the Arab world finally get their chance to rid themselves of their dictators.

Remembering Carrie Ann Lucas
My friend — and multi-talented attorney, activist, and mother — passed last February. We celebrated her life on Saturday. These were my words.
When I sat down to write these words, I knew I would be able to plagiarize a lot of my own previous words. I've had the privilege of introducing Carrie at various events and presenting awards to her on a number of occasions.
So I did want any nerd would do: searched my computer for documents mentioning Carrie.
As I anticipated, I found the words I had said introducing her for a Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition award, and later an award from our organization, the Civil Rights Education and Enforcement Center, as well as the words I said to introduce her as a candidate for Windsor town board. I'll reuse some of them in a sec.
But I also found a long list of other documents that show the central role Carrie played in my personal and professional life for the past 20 years. For example:
Lucas v. Iliff – the case on which my husband, Tim Fox, and I first represented Carrie and got to know her, asking her divinity school for accommodations.
Lucas v. Kmart – and our tribute to her when that case was recognized by the Impact Fund as the largest disability public accommodations case to date (and possibly through the present), making Kmart stores nationwide accessible to people using w/c.
I also found the photos we took for the Impact Fund's event. Sadly, they didn't use the one of Carrie, Tim, Kevin Williams, and me all playing poker around our conference table.
Lucas v. DU and Lucas v. DU. Or in the words of one of Carrie's best press releases, "Oops, they did it again!"
Carrie's adoption reference.
Carrie's dumpling sauce.
A spreadsheet called "Carrie Lucas Internship Timesheet" – when she interned at our law firm as a law student, prepared court-ready pleadings, and of course taught us more than we taught her.
Lucas v. Colorado Rockies: now you can buy accessible seats behind home plate without buying season tickets.
Carrie's EJW photo. After she was awarded the prestigious Equal Justice Works fellowship, I had the privilege of taking the official photo wearing – of all things – a hat my mother made her.
Her first case in federal court, for which we drafted an amicus brief. (Amicus means friend in Latin – never was it truer than on briefs we wrote to support Carrie's cases.) I also found the brief from the case last year in which she supported us as an amicus, along with Julie Farrar and Corbett, who is online.
The published case of Kerr v. Heather Gardens, setting an obscure but important ADA precedent. Every time I cite it, I recognize how Carrie still helps us and so many other lawyers in so many fields.
Lucas v. City and County of Denver: now you can buy accessible tickets to Red Rocks that don't cost $5000 on StubHub.
The many cases on which we co-counseled, including two in a row against the City of Denver for accommodations for Deaf detainees (Oops, they did it again!)
A long messaging discussion – which I saved, God knows why – about why it is OK to have breakfast for dinner and dinner for breakfast, but NOT to mix breakfast food and dinner food, reaching the consensus that ketchup on eggs was a desecration.
A downloaded copy of "15 Theses – A Protest to Challenge the Church on Disability," Carrie's blog post on Reformation Day, in which she set forth 15 specific, biblically-sourced ways in which the Church needed to become more welcoming to disabled people. (She adds: "I sketched these out during worship last week, but give me time, I could come up with 95.") I highly recommend this post to people of all faiths or none.
Carrie was the get-shit-donest person I know. We lawyers can be a cautious bunch — always arguing this side and that. I can recall many occasions when — confronting injustice or simply something that needed doing — while the rest of us were still pondering, planning, and arguing about the best route forward, we would discover that Carrie had already acted.
She saw something that needed to be done and she did it. One of the best examples of this is when she found out her niece faced the possibility of foster care: she moved immediately to adopt her.
Then realizing the obstacles she faced as a disabled woman trying to adopt, she made the rights of parents with disabilities the focus of her legal education and career.
When Carrie started her nonprofit, Disabled Parents' Rights, the number of lawyers in the country who were addressing these issues was in the low- to mid-single-digits. She quickly became an expert in this crucial area, and was a sought-after speaker and teacher for other lawyers, advocates, and even judges.
You'll hear a lot about all of her many roles: mother, lawyer, advocate, arrestee, photographer, cook. She was all these things. Then we'd be chatting and she'd say something like, "we're going to see Hamilton, so I'm making Hamilton skirts for myself and my daughters." Or "I have some time over Christmas break — I've decided to learn the hammer dulcimer."
She was the person I always turned to when I need an answer: What's the right case to cite? Who should I vote for? What does the trinity mean? How do I format a document in Word without throwing my laptop out the window? She answered these and so many others.
When we gave her the CREEC award a few years ago, we summed up Carrie's intersectional work and identities by saying: "she may be the only wheelchair-using Latina with a bumper sticker that reads 'just another disabled lesbian for Christ,' dressed in camo, driving her trak-chair into the wilderness for the perfect photo.
Carrie was our client, intern, colleague, and co-counsel, but most important to me, she was my dear friend. She had just the right combination of wisdom, compassion, sarcasm, and love, and I miss her profoundly.

Advocacy is the hallmark of democracy. It facilitates the diversity which is cherished by America. This dynamic creates social flow and order which is similar to the way lyrics give music a sense of organization. In this context, people like Carol Buchanan, the Director of Programs at the Denver Regional Mobility and Access Council (DRMAC), an organization that specializes in ensuring transportation is available to the disabled and the elderly, is s prime example of a true advocate.
Upon earning a Bachelor's of Social Work from James Madison University and a Masters in Nonprofit Management at Regis University, Mrs. Buchanan has had a steadfast desire to uphold a specific vision of society, one in which every walk of life has a voice loud enough to alter the status quo. Her advocacy work with DRMAC has provided those who have limitations with "voice" into having a sense of agency when it comes to expanding their quality of life by picking a simple destination. In turn, within the multifaceted opportunities that accessible transportation has the tendency to provide, individuality is the final achievement. Mrs. Buchanan has dedicated her career to creating a place which allows the purest form of diversity to blossom, ultimately pathing the way for everyone to contribute and participate within their own communities. As a result, multiple voices are heard, and everyone has a chance to sing their song.
The theme of "voice" also manifests in Mrs. Buchanan's personal life. As a woman who is grounded in her faith, Mrs. Buchanan demonstrates the power of her own voice by participating in the church choir. Moreover, not only does this activity allow Mrs. Buchanan to express herself in a personal context, but it ultimately plays a significant role in terms of shaping the work that she does on a daily basis.
Carrie Ann Lucas, Champion for Disabled Parents, Dies at 47
Carrie Ann Lucas, second from left, in 2018 in Windsor, Colo., with her children, from left, Asiza, Heather, Adrianne and Anthony. Ms. Lucas fought for the rights of the disabled, especially those who are parents.
By Katharine Q. Seelye
Carrie Ann Lucas, who championed people, especially parents, with disabilities and won a major lawsuit to make Kmart more accessible, died on Sunday in Loveland, Colo. She was 47.
Her sister, Courtney Lucas, said the cause was complications of septic shock.
Ms. Lucas, who lived with a rare form of muscular dystrophy for three decades, was an effective advocate for people with disabilities. A lawyer, she successfully forced several businesses to make their premises more accessible in accordance with the Americans With Disabilities Act.
And last year, through her forceful lobbying, she helped change Colorado law to ensure that the disability of a parent or potential guardian could not be the sole basis for denying custody, adoption, foster care or guardianship of a child.
The legislation grew out of her own struggle to adopt her niece, who was in foster care. Ms. Lucas, who used a power wheelchair, breathed through a ventilator, had low vision and minimal hearing, and relied on a feeding tube, went on to adopt a total of four children, all with disabilities.
"We hear things all the time like, 'How can you be a parent if you can't throw a football for your son?' " she told The Colorado Independent in 2016.
"As disabled people," she said, "we are always addressing the issue of how society devalues our lives and experiences."
On Monday, members of both the House and Senate of the Colorado legislature paid tribute to Ms. Lucas and held a moment of silence in her honor. "Carrie Ann Lucas is a testament to doing everything that you can with what you've got," State Senator Julie Gonzales said.
Ms. Lucas's commitment was evident in her relentless campaign against a measure to allow doctor-assisted suicide (sometimes called "right to die" or "death with dignity") in Colorado. An active member of the disability rights group Not Dead Yet, she appeared at numerous forums to express her outrage at what she saw as the implicit suggestion that people with disabilities had such a low quality of life that their lives were not worth living.
Despite her protestations, voters approved the measure in 2016. Doctor-assisted death is now legal in seven states and the District of Columbia.
It was a rare defeat in a long career of advocacy. Perhaps her most notable legal victory came in a class-action lawsuit against Kmart, to make its stores more accessible.
Ms. Lucas was the lead plaintiff in that suit, filed in 1999, and in a settlement in 2006, Kmart agreed to pay $13 million in damages to shoppers — the largest payout in a disabilities case at the time — and to bring its 1,400 stores into compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Kmart agreed to spend as much as $70 million over eight years to do so.
Carrie Ann Lucas was born on Nov. 18, 1971, in Twentynine Palms, Calif. Her mother, LaVerne (Rupert) Lucas, was a sales manager; her father, Philip Emory Lucas, served in the Marine Corps for 20 years and was stationed at the base there. When he retired, the family moved to Windsor, Colo., where he was an appliance repair technician.
Carrie Ann graduated from high school in Windsor and went to Whitworth University in Spokane, Wash., graduating in 1994 with a double major in education and sports medicine.
While in high school, she began to lose muscle strength, and by age 17 she was walking with braces. She was in a wheelchair by her early 20s.
Still, she went overseas. She taught middle school science for two years in Saipan, part of the Northern Marianas in the Western Pacific. Her goal was to become a minister, and when she returned to Colorado she earned a master of divinity degree at Iliff School of Theology in Denver in 1999.
As her health deteriorated, her sister said, she became involved with the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition, which works for equal rights for people with any kind of disability. She investigated and monitored disability rights cases there.
At the same time, she sought to adopt her niece, Heather, then 9, the disabled daughter of her half brother, Eric Gover, whose family, in Tennessee, was unable to care for her. But because of her own disabilities, Ms. Lucas ran into resistance.
She fought the system and, with the help of a court-appointed special advocate, was able to adopt Heather. The experience inspired her to make sure that the same thing would not happen in Colorado.
Driven by the prejudice she saw against parents with disabilities, Ms. Lucas enrolled at the Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver, where she received a full scholarship. She graduated in 2005 and went on to adopt three more children, Asiza, Adrianne and Anthony, all of whom have disabilities.
Ms. Lucas was executive director of Disabled Parents Rights and served on the board of directors of the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado. In 2017, she ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Windsor City Council.
She was among several people with disabilities who were arrested in 2017 on charges of trespassing after a 58-hour sit-in at the Denver office of Senator Cory Gardner. They were protesting the Republican plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would have reduced Medicaid funding and eliminated services that make it possible for people with disabilities to live independently.
In addition to her sister, her half brother and her children, Ms. Lucas is survived by her parents and her partner, Dr. Kimberley Jackson. Her half sister, Kelli Mann, died in 2017.
For the last several years, Ms. Lucas had been writing a blog, DisabilityPride.com, which provided an unvarnished view of her life.
One of her final entries, the day after Christmas, described her fear of what would happen to her children, now in their late teens and 20s, when she was gone. She said she hoped that she had given them "the tools to thrive if given appropriate supports." But, she added, she was terrified that they would be separated and lose contact with one another.
"My kids are all adopted and lost their first family," she wrote. "I desperately don't want them to lose this family too."

Christiano Sosa
America is a unique place. In theory, it is a nation in which everyone has a place and an opportunity to fulfill almost any dream. This idea is sometimes presented as too idealistic to be incorporated into the social fabric of American society. However, this is the mindset that affords the field of advocacy the strong sense of validity for which it has sustained over decades.
Christiano Sosa, the Executive Director of the Arc of Colorado, a nonprofit organization that specializes in advocating for individuals with intellectual disabilities, has demonstrated the need for systemic and individual advocacy since the mid-nineties. Upon earning a degree in Social Work, Mr. Sosa began to build on his passion for problem solving by becoming involved with the Colorado Health Network DBA Colorado AIDS Project & Howard Dental Center, a nonprofit organization that provides service to and aims to create a sense of systemic equity within the HIV/AIDS community.
Mr. Sosa's passion ultimately fueled his career path, leading straight into a case managerial position with the organization. On a professional level, this marked the beginning of Mr. Sosa's alliance with the disabled community. This has become the breeding ground that nourishes his sense of creativity. His passion for creating an accessible society for everyone in the disabled community intertwines with his hobby of cake decorating; his desire for creating eloquent cakes for the sole enjoyment of admiring the finished product ultimately contributes to his overall desire of reducing inequality in many sectors of society.
Similar to one of Mr. Sosa's cakes, the disabled community has the tendency to be multifaceted, as every disability presents various angles that affect systemic equilibrium. As a result, for people like Mr. Sosa, the process of advocacy is perpetuated on a continuum that intersects at a multitude of points. This dynamic plays a critical role in the decisions Mr. Sosa has made throughout the work he has done as an advocate.
In turn, given the fact that he has been active participant in the disabled community for the bulk of his career, Mr. Sosa is essentially motivated to reduce inequity for all parties who are ultimately marginalized due to the direct or indirect role that disability plays in one's life. Like every other advocacy organization in the United States, Mr. Sosa's objective has been to repair systemic glitches in order to assist with bringing a sense of balance between the roles of personal responsibility and society.

Natalie Orrell and Liam
Natalie Orrell who took CCDC advocacy class became a housing advocate. She believes that housing is the basis of everything a person needs. Housing provides shelter and a place to rest. Quality housing is important to have good health. She represents CCDC on the Renter's Protection Roundtable and Colorado Homes for All. She has been surprised at the control that landlords have to set rents and the gentrification that is present in Denver. Natalie believes that Advocacy areas are too siloed and we need to look across areas because issues are connected If someone wanted to become an advocate Natalie says, " Go for it"! Advocacy is hard work and you must take care of yourself.
Natalie earned a B.S. in Human Services from Metro State University. In her spare time, she and her service dog, Liam, enjoy walks. Natalie plays games on her phone and the guitar. She's bilingual Spanish. Her motto for life is: "It's all about feeling all right" Thank you, Natalie, for Advocating for affordable, accessible housing
[UPDATED] 2018 Ballot Guide [UPDATED] 2018 Ballot Guide
[UPDATED] 2018 Ballot Guide
Disability Community Expectations of Our Next Governor
Commitment to have representatives from the disability community throughout the transition team.
Commitment to quarterly meetings with disability community leaders.
Commit to a process to have ear of Governor when agency staff are obstructive. This requires understanding that we do understand the laws that govern our programs.
Civil Rights Division will become disability friendly and be trained on disability rights law.
Boards and Commissions will actively work with our community. This includes
allow us to choose our representatives where we have statutory right to a seat (absent a legitimate reason to decline),
prioritize people with lived experience,
quarterly meetings to discuss what positions are coming due so we can find appropriate candidates
Make Colorado a model employer of people with disabilities
Specific outreach
Establish a preference for qualified individuals
Establish disability affinity group among state employees and allow them to ally with advocates.
Review of job descriptions and accommodation needs and how that happens
Extend SSDI Trial Work Period concept to state programs (Section 8, Medicaid, etc)
Extend Medicaid buy-in programs beyond age 65 and allow for breaks in employment. Currently people with disabilities that require daily care have to stop working and impoverish themselves if they live to age 65 in order to continue receiving supports such as daily home care to get out of bed, shower, etc. This gives no incentive or ability to save for retirement and will leave most people in a position of losing their homes.
Continue to fix The Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) which receives significant federal funds to help people with disabilities obtain meaningful careers and jobs.
Assure equal funding for transit in all transportation funding.
Access to Community Based Services and Supports
Active functioning Olmstead plan that touches all of state government
Community First Choice will be priority in Colorado
Increase participant direction options and allow for all Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) services in all waivers and explore for certain state plan benefits.
Equalize wages with agency based care
No direct care staff ever is paid less than $15 an hour at bare minimum. Redefine what is skilled and unskilled and reform rates accordingly.
Commitment to improve the health facilities unit of Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to act as true consumer advocate.
Asset and Earning increases
Increase Medicaid LTSS asset limit from $2,000 (set in 1982) to at least $10,000
Allow people who acquire disabilities at young age to save unlimited amount for children's college and to leave a home up to a certain value to them, even if they live past age 55. (Difference between helping young people with disabilities escape poverty and making Medicaid an inheritance protection program)
Allow Medicaid buy-in clients to continue working as long as they want (currently they have to stop at age 65 despite retirement not occurring until age 67) and to keep assets accumulated while working when they retire. (see below for fixing the age 65 cut off)
Use all federally allowable options to liberalize food stamps.
Continue reforms to make Aid to the Needy Disabled less draconian.
Require new housing be at least visitable
State based vouchers
Stronger fair housing protections and enforcement (see Civil Rights Division)
Keep homestead exemption for low-income seniors and consider expanding to people on fixed income affected by gentrification.
2018 Ballot Guide
Election season is here and at the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition (CCDC) we have one message. VOTE AS IF YOU LIFE DEPENDS ON IT….BECAUSE IT DOES. CCDC does not endorse or oppose any candidate.
We say NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US…EVER! In order to participate we must exercise our right and responsibility to vote. Democracy is not a spectator sport and only works when we participate. We have no excuse not to vote. Our ballots come in the mail. If we want to go to a vote center we can, there are accessible voting booths at the voting center. If we need help understanding or filling out our ballots we can get that help from your local voting center, a friend you trust, or an advocate (including CCDC staff).
This guide will do the following:
Go over the major races and suggest things to think about as you make your choices about which candidate has most earned your vote.
Discuss your rights as a citizen with disabilities, including talking about who can vote (including many people with a criminal background and all people that have guardians).
Go over the ballot issues that have any relevance to people with disabilities.
MAJOR RACES:
We are voting for a new Governor. The Democratic candidate is Jared Polis and the Republican Candidate is Walker Stapleton . Both are currently holding other elected positions. Jared Polis is a congressman for the second congressional district and Walker Stapleton is our state Treasurer. CCDC has given both candidates our expectations for a new Governor
The Governor gets to decide who runs every state agency including Health Care Policy and Financing, Human Services, Labor and Employment, etc. If there are changes to the federal Medicaid program a Governor might be able to decide if we accept a block grant for Medicaid—something CCDC strongly opposes. How much a Governor supports Medicaid is important to us.
Governors also are able to appoint people to boards and commissions including rule making bodies like the Medical Services Board, the Human Services Board, etc. We want a Governor that will listen to us about appointments and will appoint knowledgeable advocates who have direct experience with the various systems. We want people appointed that are connected with the community that will seek out diverse opinions and make an effort to listen to our community.
The Governor is the CEO of the state and sets the tone with state agencies. The Governor decides if state agencies are there to support people with disabilities to full participants in the state, or treat us as if we are errant children, in need of protection, punitive measures to keep us compliant, or both. A Governor can choose to keep an open door to hear us if we have problems with state agencies or can assume that longtime agency staff always know best and stonewall any efforts we make raise issues.
We will also vote for Congressional Candidates in all 7 congressional districts. Here are the CCDC requests of our Congressional Delegation. Research candidates directly—do not just rely on 30 second TV commercials.
We also get to elect a new Secretary of State, Treasurer, and Attorney General. All of these positions are important. You can read more about these races here!
Many people will get to elect a Colorado Legislator —all seats are up for re-election but some areas do not have two candidates. Many Colorado Senate seats are up as well, and in some tight districts a few votes might determine control of the Senate. Never doubt that your vote counts. You should be able to have a personal conversation with anyone running in your district. To find out who is running look here. Reach out to candidates in your district and ask them about their disability platform. Ask if they will support Medicaid, and expand programs that allow us to control our lives such as Consumer Directed Attendant Supports. We want consumer/participant direction for all Long Term Services and Supports. Ask if they will support Medicaid Buy-In allowing us to work and get out of poverty. Many of the issues outlined on our Gubernatorial paper are relevant to a Representative or Senator. Most important, ask them to make a commitment that if someone asks them to run a bill that will affect people with disabilities that they will ask the person if people from the disability community have been involved with the bill. If the answer is no then please do not support the bill unless or until they have fully involved our community. Real and Meaningful engagement of people with disabilities at all levels of government must be a priority.
VOTING RIGHTS:
People with disabilities have the right to vote, the right to accessibility and the right to vote in private. Disability Law Colorado is the lead organization that protects these rights. If you have a concern about access to your ballot, or if someone says you are not allowed to vote, please contact Jennifer Levin at jlevin@disabilitylawco.org or 303-722-0300. Their website has complete information on our voting rights.
BALLOT INITIATIVES:
As always there are a lot of ballot initiatives.
AMENDMENTS ARE CHANGES TO THE CONSTITUTION. If they are lettered they were referred by the legislature. If they are numbered they were placed on the ballot by the citizen petition process.
PROPOSITIONS CHANGE STATE LAWS:
Below are the ones where there are possible effects on disability and where appropriate, the CCDC position. These are statewide ballot initiatives. There are local initiatives all over the state, such as a measure in Denver to fund mental health treatment. CCDC does not take positions on local issues but encourage you to listen to all sides, read the proposal, talk to people you trust and vote. Here are the statewide ballot initiatives that have a disability component or are about overall governance:
Amendment V: Lower the age from 25 to 21 for someone to be a state legislator or senator. CCDC has no position on this issue.
Amendments Y and Z: Both of these amendments change how go about redistricting to make the process less partisan. Y is for congressional (federal level) redistricting and Z for (state level) legislators. There will be a process to select commissioners using specific criteria and there will be an equal number of commissioners from each major political party and independent/unaffiliated weapons. When the census is taken and the population changes we get more or fewer congressional seats (probably more). This requires the congressional districts be redrawn. This is a very political process because the parties each want to use the district boundaries for their advantage. The same process has to happen at the state level. In the past partisan processes have caused districts to be drawn based on race keeping people of color in certain areas which reduces the power of the minority vote. The same thing can happen with lower-income communities—keeping everyone living in poverty in one area to dilute the power of the low-income vote. It is in the interest of everyone to have fair elections and to have districts be created using non-partisan, objective criteria. CCDC SUPPORTS THESE AMENDMENTS.
Amendment A: Removes language in the Colorado constitution that allows slavery and involuntary servitude to be used as punishment for someone convicted of a crime. Because many people in jails and prisons are people with disabilities, and because we are a social justice organization, CCDC SUPPORTS THIS AMENDMENT. It is outrageous that slavery of any form is still allowed under any circumstances.
Amendment 73: Funding for public schools which increases funding for K-12 education through an income tax increase for people with incomes over $150,000 and setting a property tax assessment at 7% for residential properties and 24% for non-residential properties. This is reduction of current property taxes. The measure also encourages the legislature to change the school funding formula. The measure does require the Colorado Department of Education to review how the funds are spent and identify best practices. The legislature should review the funding formula ten years after implementation and make modifications if necessary. CCDC agrees that schools must be well funded. CCDC is not an expert in educational financing measures or taxes and therefore is not taking a position on this bill. For a liberal analysis check out the Bell Policy Center and for a conservative analysis check out the Independence Institute.
Amendment 74 requires a state or local government to compensate a property owner if a law or regulation reduces the fair market value of his or her property. CCDC has no position on this proposal.
Amendment 75 allows candidates to accept 5 times the current campaign contribution limits if any candidate in the race loans or gives his or her campaign more than $1 million. The purpose is to level the playing field between a candidate with personal wealth and his or her opponent. CCDC has no position on this proposal. CCDC generally has concern about the influence of money in politics.
Proposition 109 changes Colorado statutes to require the state to borrow up to $3.5 billion in 2019 to fund 66 highway projects and directs the state to pay back the bonds without raising taxes. It also limits how much interest can be paid back and sets a timeline of 20 years for repayment. CCDC STRONGLY OPPOSES THIS PROPOSAL. Our two primary reasons for opposition are:
This only funds highway projects with nothing for transit or other modes of transportation. This hurts people with disabilities, many of whom rely on public transportation.
Given the limited amount of discretionary funds available to the Colorado Legislature, if taxes cannot be raised the only way to repay the money will be to cut existing programs. Medicaid or other programs important to our community could be cut to repay this debt.
Proposition 110 authorizes a slight increase in sales and use tax from 2.9% to 3.52% for transportation projects for 20 years and allows the state to borrow up to 6 billion for transportation projects to be paid back over 20 years. The funding would be allocated as follows
45% to the state
40% to local governments
15% to multimodal transportation projects
CCDC STRONGLY SUPPORTS THIS PROPOSAL because the funds will also fix the highways, which are deteriorating but will not leave out transit projects. Local governments can prioritize their needs as transportation needs vary widely around the state. This funding will not be taken out of another source, such as Medicaid or education. This is a sustainable and inclusive solution that will enable our state to meet our diverse transportation needs to have safe and usable roads and to continue to expand transit options.
Proposition 111 reduces the cost of a payday loan to 36 annual percentage rate and expands what is considered to be a deceptive trade practices for payday lending. Payday loans are usually small loans with hefty repayment fees that do not require a credit check. They are popular with low wage workers and people on fixed incomes. People can get in trouble because the fees are so high and most people that use these loans are low-income and did not have the money in the first place and end up in perpetual debt. 36% is still a very high interest rate. Opponents say that this could cause the payday loan industry to stop doing business in Colorado. CCDC SUPPORTS THIS PROPOSAL. If an industry is going to leave the state because they cannot make money with a 36% interest rate that means that they are currently getting much more. If companies need more than 36% interest leave the state that is OK. It would be a better use of our collective time and energy to focus on fair lending practices, reduce income inequality, increase wages, and reduce the cost of housing and health care so that people are not struggling so desperately.
Proposition 112 requires that new oil and gas developments are at least 2500 feet away occupied structures like homes or businesses, water sources and areas designated as "vulnerable". CCDC has no position on this proposal.
In closing, please remember to vote. Vote your ballot as soon as it comes so you do not forget. If you experience barriers call Disability Law Colorado. You can also call CCDC with questions or concerns. If you want to help do phone banking to get others to vote please reach out to Dawn Howard at dhoward@ccdconline.org or 303-839-1775.

Many people experiencing homelessness are PWDs (people with disabilities). Each year CCDC supports DHOL's (Denver Homeless Out Loud) legislative efforts to reverse the camping ban. The ban prevents people experiencing homelessness from sleeping or resting in public spaces as well as sleeping in legally parked cars. I wanted to better understand what motivates Terese Howard to be an important leader within DHOL Terese and a small group of individuals started DHOL in September 2012 because no one was continuing the fight to reverse the camping ban and its devastating effects. Terese firmly believes everyone has something to contribute! Some can raise money, others make signs, others drive individuals to appointments. People experiencing homelessness have a wisdom of what really will make their lives better. Currently, they are collecting signatures for the Denver Right to Survive Initiative so voters in Denver can decide whether the camping ban should stay in effect. For more information, please visit DHOL's website Denver Homeless Out Loud
Terese and members of DHOL currently work on several projects. They are part of the new group Colorado Village Collaborative which is building tiny homes for individuals who were homeless to live in. Right now people are living in a village of eleven tiny homes. The locker project is an effort to place artistically decorated lockers throughout Denver so people can safely store their processions. Thank you, Terese, for organizing the wise voices of those experiencing homelessness!

BP debates paying a dividend. Google takes issue with Apple. And Bernie Madoff has some choice words for his investors. On this week's Motley Fool Money Radio Show, we discuss those stories, share some stocks on our radar, and talk irrationality and investing with best-selling author Dan Ariely.


Our painstakingly cultivated collection of fish are destined to adorn the most luxurious homes and aquariums across the world.
Our creations take significant effort and skill to produce, but that is why we derive such great satisfaction in seeing them brought to life. We value the continued existence of these outliers within their species. Their rarity means they would surely disappear without cultivation.
Imagine you are spearfishing in a remote location off the Australian east coast and the anchor on your boat breaks free. It drifts away…leaving you stranded in deep water, more than 100 kilometres from land, desperate and close to drowning.
Founder of Jardini International, Jason Coe, found himself in this exact predicament. The situation was dire, but adrenaline kicked in and Jason started swimming for his life. Exhausted and dehydrated, he swan until he thought he could see the boat in the distance. But it always seemed out of reach and perhaps it was just a mirage?
Finally, he reached out and was able to grasp the edge of the boat and pull himself aboard. A barb on the anchor had just managed to catch the very top of a narrow pinnacle of reef arising from depths of 60m, fixing the boat in place.
This moment changed everything for Jason. An engineer by profession, he had always been an avid lover of nature, had an interest in keeping aquarium fish and was a champion spear-fisherman, a sport that focuses on understanding and targeting specific fish.
He completely re-focused his energy on finding ways to fulfil his passion for fish and established Jardini International. Jason is now a recognised go-to person within the industry.
Displaying fish of the calibre offered by Jardini International requires an aquarium or bespoke pool of grand proportions and quality. Let us oversee the design and installation of your luxury aquarium. Understanding sizing, sourcing materials and designers, and ensuring a smooth installation are made easy by accessing our specialist knowledge and skill in project management.
Looking for something outside our collection? Jardini International specializes in hard-to-find ornamental fish that create excitement. Our networks, aquarium industry experience and reputation for excellence make us a trusted purveyor of rare fish within Australia and internationally. Let us help you in your quest.

Tony Clement out for sexting
Hoid
#1 Nov 6th, 2018
Veteran conservative MP Tony (Fake Lake) Clement is stepping down over a sexting scandal where his dick pics were sent to an extortionist rather than a 12 year old girl as he had hoped.

Nothing about Clement really surprises me. While I realize it's not a valid reaction, I always had a feeling there is something unsavory about him- just call it a hunch or sixth sense! Anyone else get the same vibes?
Danbones
LOL, yeah my nut bar evangelical friends who live in his riding thought he was da man
well I guess now they have the pics to prove it.
The former leader is class but current Conservative I want Torst because he's the real leader of the party of Conservative.
I want Torst.

The TRUTH about LIE-beral policy and their planned looting and pillaging of our economy with their carbon crap and trade tax MUST NOT become public knowledge or LIE-berals ARE TOAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS public knowledge that the LIE-beral carbon crap and trade tax scam only cleans cash from wallets an leaves the dirt in the air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hoid is forced to LIE about 12 year old girls because he has NO REAL FACTS with which to defend his beloved LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we saw some solid TRUTH last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have said before that LIE-beral fate hangs on just how many of the silent majority chose- for once- to get out and vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And last night voter turn out in United States SET RECORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have said before that the best Our idiot Boy Justin can hope for in the 2019 election is a short lived minority govt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that is basically what Yankees created last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One gang controls the House and another controls the Senate.........with Trump in the middle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We Cdns can THANK GOD that Our idiot Boy DID NOT manage to get his electoral reform crap implemented here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where does it say more than once. Clement claimed it was his first time and Scheer decided to take him at his word. whether Clement is telling the truth or not, the decent thing to do is to no make assumptions, so I applaud Scheer's wisdom, in the absence of prof to the contrary, to assume take Clement at his word.
until later that same day when he found out Tony was lying and turfed him
Do you have a link to that?

So LIE-berals are hypocrites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what else is new?????????????????????
Here is an article illustrating the slippery and sleazy nature of LIE-beral values and morals. With some comments of my own in brackets):
Trudeau hiding behind a woman's skirt.
By Mark Bonokoski. Published: October 30, 2017. Updated: October 30, 2017 3:57 PM EDT
Filed Under: Toronto SUN/ Opinion/ Columnists
For a man who claims to be an avowed feminist, Justin Trudeau sure likes to hide behind a certain woman's skirt.
And so, apparently, do many in his cabinet, most particularly Finance Minister Bill Morneau, the infamously dubbed Willy Porno during his teenaged years at Toronto's Senator O'Connor College School.
Yes, high-school yearbooks have always wrought a certain hell.
What we have heard now is that a number of Trudeau's cabinet ministers have taken advantage of the same loophole that Morneau used to maintain control of his wealth while deciding on the wealth of the country, and all are hiding behind the same skirt that Trudeau so loves to cite as their guidance counsellor — the skirt of Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson.
(Too bad Our idiot Boy will not tell us if he has answered ANY of the questions put to him by the ethics commissioner! He blandly asserts that he is cooperating regarding things like his holiday with Aga Khan- the guy who gets hundreds of millions in govt grants for various charitable foundations he runs! And Our idiot Boy is refusing to tell us how it happened that he invited a convicted Sikh terrorist along with him on a visit to India! As for Morneau- he sees nothing wrong with himself and his father selling about $10 million dollars of shares in his pension company Morneau Shepard a mere week before introducing legislation that significantly dropped the value of the shares!)
(If I had been the guy buying the shares that so suddenly dropped in value I would certainly be screaming FRAUD! It is specifically to AVOID such nasty accusations that people like Morneau- and at least 3 other senior LIE-berals SHOULD have put their holdings into a bind trust- but did not- because they are ENTITLED- far more so than mere mortals! But hey- they are LIE-berals so we can trust them even when they ignore the rules? Maybe? And we can be reassured that the integrity commissioner has all well under control- even though LIE-berals refuse to discuss ANY details in parliament? And the commissioner is dependent on LIE-berals for her job so all is entirely above board? Or not?)
Now, two things should have happened by now, but haven't.
One, Mary Dawson should no longer be the federal ethics commissioner, now working through her third extension.
And, secondly, Bill Morneau should no longer be finance minister, not flailing away to regain lost trust.
Indeed, when a finance minister has lost the trust of the people, and Morneau unquestionably has, then it is the duty of a prime minister to yank him out of the front row, and put him somewhere in the back benches where he can do no harm.
Trudeau went to the polls promising to be a cut above his predecessor, the controlling Stephen Harper, and provide Canadians with an accountability and transparency that would stir pride.
But he has done no such thing.
(At least Harper style "control" was in the public favour! Conservative senators Wallin and Brazeau were accused by Conservative party of wasting tax payer money and they paid it back when ordered. Conservative senator Duffy refused and so the Conservative party paid for him! And then they took Duffy to court to recover their money! But it turns out that senate spending rules are so sloppy that Duffy is ENTITLED to waste our money if he wants! At the same time- LIE-berals were quietly laughing because LIE-beral senator MacDonald Harb had wasted MORE MONEY than Wallin, Brazeau and Duffy- COMBINED! And Harb walked away with his gravy! No wonder Harper is on record as wanting to do away with the senate- and its why ever ENTITLED LIE-berals want to keep it!)
This is the prime minister who, when in opposition, went after Harper like a dog on a bone for any and all improprieties, and hounded him relentlessly when Sen. Mike Duffy got himself in a pickle over Senate expenses and a $90,000 cheque from the chief of staff in the PMO.
But the time the dusted settled, and Duffy was acquitted on all charges, the Liberals were on their way to a majority victory and Duffy was yesterday's news.
So, let's talk ethics.
As Mary Dawson has confirmed, a number of Trudeau's cabinet ministers — supposedly "fewer than five" — who watched Morneau get grilled in Question Period by Tory leader Andrew Scheer and NDP house leader Guy Caron on his dodge of inscrutable ethics were playing the same game with their own investments.
Instead of putting their assets in a blind trust, they retained control of their money by holding it indirectly in a numbered corporation, or some similar mechanism.
(This sort of money handling scandal is the sort of stuff one expects of army generals who have taken control of govt in a banana republic!)
And these are people who have insider information that goes way beyond normal insider information.
They are legislators, and they are legislators who sit in on cabinet meetings that decide on financial policy.
They are the most powerful flies on the wall in the country, yet Mary Dawson obviously gave them the advice that did not prohibit them from doing a Morneau.
(Or else they ignored Dawson and bribed or intimidated her into silence! One has only to look at the relationship between Ontari-owe auditor general Bonnie Lysyk and Wynne-bag LIE-berals! She has caught them multiple times on various screwups and LIE-berals have responded by suggesting she is incompetent and has no clue what she is saying about things like dirty LIE-beral accounting, Hydro price gouging, a pedestrian bridge built upside down, the snow plow scandal and the road paving mess! The funny thins is that it was LIE-berals who HIRED Lysyk- and now apparently do not dare to fire the allegedly "incompetent" Lysysk for fear of a savage wrongful dismissal suite by Lysyk- who has exposed so many LIE-beral skeletons in various closets!)
As PMO spokesman Cameron Ahmad told the Globe and Mail, "We expect all Members of Parliament to work with the Commissioner and structure their affairs according to her guidance."
This, of course, has been Trudeau's pitch since the outset of the Morneau Affair, capitalized here to because it is indeed a scandal.
It enabled Trudeau to stand up in the House of Commons and, with the sincerest of faces, tell Canadians that Morneau — and now a bunch of his cabinet ministers — were complying with the ethics commissioner, and that Canadians had nothing to fear because everything was above board.
If this is not hiding behind Mary Dawson's skirt, what is?
Thanks. I'd just come across it and was about to post the link when I noticed your post.

Clement is taking time off for 'addiction therapy'.
Since when is video taping your johnson and swirly balls and sending it to some woman, now all of a sudden labeled an 'addiction'??

However, that usually relates to people who've suffered emotional, physical, or sexual abuse or have experienced some other kind of trauma. And who knows, maybe Clement falls in that category and if he does, my sympathies to him. It's still not an excuse though: if he did have that problem, why didn't he seek help for it before he got caught, not after?
The way I see it, a big difference exists between a person who says:
'Hey, I engage in compulsive sexual beahviours: perhaps I should seek help for that before it escalates and I hurt someone.'
And the one who says:
'Hey, now that my compulsive sexual behaviours have escalated to the point where they've now hurt someone (i.e. my career and my family), maybe I should now seek therapy to excuse myself.'
He is a sleaze bag , and is going to do all he possibly can to hold onto his seat on the gravy train .

Clement HAD consent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hehr DID NOT HAVE CONSENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These two events ARE NOT EQUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But Fake News loving and Fake Feminist LIE-berals do not see the issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even worse- LIE-berals such as Hoid are LYING about the age of the female Clement sent his photos to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But then THERE IS A REASON WHY WE CALL THEM LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that reason is ON CLEAR DISPLAY AT THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the flaw in the whole plan is that he cares more about money than his family or his career.
hard sort of fellow to extort
I'll be fair to him for a moment here. We've just learnt that someone was trying to blackmail him using his nude pics. It's possible his wife found out around the same time we did. That means he now fears for his marriage. If he has children, they now know so he now has to face them. His and his wife's parents might now know. His friends probably now know. The general public now knows. Just the humiliation of this act can push some men to attempt suicide. Looking at it that way, unless he's really cold-hearted, I don't believe that hanging on to his seat is the primary focus in his mind right now.
Or he believed that it would look even worse if his wife found out from the extortionists than form him.

What are you suggesting there Hoid????????????????????????
That Clement might have a sense of entitlement ALMOST AS BIG AS A LIE-beral?????????????????????
Poor stupid LIE-beerals made a HUGE FUSS over the Mike Duffy business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the same time LIE-berals IGNORED LIE-beral senator MacDonald Harb --- who took WAY MORE MONEY THAN DUFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!
And LIE-berals SHRUG OFF Senate GREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berlas sneered at Harper for trying to rein in Senate spending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And now Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals are in charge and are IGNORING Senate spending ENTIRELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The big spending stink of the day is the WASTEFUL spending of LIE-beral PAL and former Governor General Adrienne Clarkson!!!!!!
And WHAT- IF ANYTHING will LIE-berals do about THAT???????????????????????
LIE-beral two faced hypocrisy is the order of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And idiot LIE-berals think this stuff is good election campaign material???????????????????????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don't think there's any way it could look worse.
Yep. I found that guy distasteful in my opinion since I first laid eyes on him. However in this so called age of enlightenment, we are supposed to dismiss such opinions. However there is a school of thought to "follow your instincts", which in the past has been proven to be true in many cases. I would conclude that we should probably say nothing, but watch that guy like a mink in the hen house!
i'll let you do the watching

Rajamouli gets best director award from New York Film Critics Circle
IANS | December 03, 2022 12:31 PM
NEW YORK: Tollywood hitmaker S.S. Rajamouli has won the best director award from the New York Film Critics Circle (NYFCC) for his epic adventure film 'RRR', reports 'Variety'. The awards are seen as the bellwether for the upcoming Hollywood awards season.
Although 'RRR' wasn't selected to represent India in the international feature category of the Academy Awards, Variance Films has mounted a substantial campaign to have the film recognised in the general categories, including best picture. And as 'Variety' puts it, it looks like it could be paying off. Rajamouli's win has been described as 'one of the jaw-droppers' of the evening.
NYFCC's winner for best film has typically had a strong correlation with the Academy Awards' best picture category. Since the expansion to nominees in 2009, only 'Carol' (2015) and 'First Cow' (2020) have missed Oscar recognition. The latter was the first film that has won New York's top prize and failed to garner a single Oscar nomination.
Last year, the winners included the Japanese feature 'Drive My Car', which went on to receive a nomination for best picture. Other crossover winners included 'The Power of the Dog' receiving the directing prize for Jane Campion, alongside eventual lead and supporting actor nominees Benedict Cumberbatch and Kodi Smit-McPhee.
Lady Gaga's best actress win for 'House of Gucci' and Kathryn Hunter's supporting triumph for 'The Tragedy of Macbeth' were the two winners that failed to garner recognition.
At Friday's gala awards event, Todd Field's 'T�r' from Focus Features took the top prize for best film. A24 led the tally for all studios with four wins. Celebrating its 88th year, the NYFCC membership consists of more than 50 journalists from leading publications, including 'Time' and 'Variety'.
In the middle of one of the most stacked fields of contenders in years, Cate Blanchett was among the two wins for 'T�r', earning best actress for her turn as a controversial German composer on the verge of losing her grip on power. This marks her second win from the group after 'Blue Jasmine' (2013), for which she won her second acting Oscar (after 2004's 'The Aviator').
Far from a done deal, she is fighting in a race that includes surprise Gotham winner Danielle Deadwyler ('Till'), Gotham honoree Michelle Williams ('The Fabelmans') and fan-favorite Michelle Yeoh ('Everything Everywhere All at Once'), according to 'Variety'.
Colin Farrell won best actor for his work in two of the four films he starred in 2022 -- 'The Banshees of Inisherin' by Martin McDonagh and 'After Yang' from Kogonada.
The 46-year-old Irish star is the fifth leading actor to win the prize for multiple performances after Brad Pitt for 'Moneyball' and 'The Tree of Life' (2011), Robert DeNiro for 'Awakenings' and 'Goodfellas' (1990), Jack Nicholson for 'Chinatown' and 'The Last Detail' (1974) and William Powell for 'Life With Father' and 'The Senator Was Indiscreet' (1947). All men went on to receive a nomination for one of their films during their respective years, notes 'Variety'.
Much of the season has seen much talk about Brendan Fraser's work in Darren Aronofsky's 'The Whale'. Farrell's turn as the lovable drinking buddy Padraic in McDonagh's dramedy, however, has captivated audiences since debuting at Venice, where Farrell won the Volpi Cup for best actor over Fraser, whose film also debuted there.

More lane closures are coming this week on Del. 141, as Delaware's transportation department continues work on a massive project to rebuild two 1960s-era bridges over I-95 North.
This week, traffic will be reduced to one lane going both north and south on Del. 141 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday to Friday.
DelDOT contractor Mumford & Miller Inc will be paving the new sections of the twin bridges, according to an update on the project. Workers are also building fences and parapets, as well as installing new signs and working on the shoulder of I-95 northbound.
The ramp for exit 5B (NB I-295/Newport) will remain closed until Sept. 30. There will also be lane closures on I-95 and I-295.
The work is part of the $84 million projectto replace the Del. 141 bridges across Interstate 95 and reconfigure ramps and approaches at the interchange.
Once the ramps are done, attention will shift to the Commons Boulevard and Del. 141 interchange near Wawa. The project is scheduled to wrap up in 2020.
