Kenny following Trump's act; not afraid to kill Albertans!

Trump and Kenny's position is that the WHO did not restrict travel from China in the first days of the outbreak!

The facts, as usual, are quite different.  At the point of time he references, we had no knowledge at all of what we were facing and the  WHO was on the ground trying to find the facts.

The US problems lay at the feet of their pricy overcharging private health care system.  Locked into profit mode none would take the time to do the necessary contact research and several weeks passed before states started their own actions.  There was no Federal leadership as there was in Canada.

According to Trump, this period was some kind of a joke Trump was saying time and again, I'm doing great, everything is going to be fine. 

Back to Kenny’s act now, he is threatening to put US trial meds into Canada if there is any delay in Canada's approval of the same tests.  The foreign tests are far from perfect, hot out of the door with profit the motive. Experimental is a kindness.

Time and again, Kenny is showing a reckless disregard for Albertan’s lives again!

Saudi Arabia - A Trump exercise.

Donald Trump meets Mohammed bin Salman during a bilateral meeting in Riyadh in May. After which Trump reiterated his support of a Saudi nuclear weapon. 

  

Israel did not react, not a word of any kind.

On August 3, The Canadian Tweet went out about human rights and dignity in regards to #SaudiArabia.

Immediately, Saudi Arabia reacted in a very extreme manner which was supported by right-wing newspapers in Canada.  They pretty much cut all ties with Canada.  In doing so have put extra pressure on the NAFTA negotiations which is what Trump asked of them.

Where Trump is off base on Trade.

Mexico for years was after the US to stop or help stop the import of automatic weapons and guns in general into Mexico.  At the time they named gun dealers in Oklahoma who were principals in this action. 

As usual, the presidents of the day chose to ignore as the NRA ramped up its rhetoric loud and long enough to block out Mexico from the US media who for some reason are also afraid of the NRA.

Trump is worried about people coming into the USA but will not give attention to the massive exports of firearms into Mexico from the USA.

China, who incidentally were the original settlers of what is now called the  USA.   They left settlements in Sacramento and further south the full length of the coastlines.  The tribes along that route and into Peru have Chinese DNA from the province that supplied the sailors and concubines for the famous treasure fleets that circumnavigated and mapped the globe by 1420  (Gavin Menzies book 1421)  Trumps fight is with the Chinese stealing intellectual properties from the US.

What he doesn't talk about is Texas who will steal everything you send to them for a trial.  Their laws are structured such that this is all legal!

The point is, Trump should clean up his own backyard before he takes the world on because he can't excite the Americans into their own production increases.

Of course; that 's just me.

A lesson in US Civics:

What happens when the losing candidate gets most votes?  Well, Trump is not president until December 19^th and any time up to and including that date the Electoral College can change their minds but; you can be sure they won’t.   

This is the 5^th time in US history that this has happened.

Proposals are out to do away with the Electoral College which is a group of people bound by the Federal Law (Judges, Generals, Fire Chiefs, Mayors) or by the state, by pledges or law, to vote for a specific candidate chosen by the people. (Popular vote 26 states out of 50 have such laws in place) You can see the excitement over these states during the election.

These states are:

Electors in these States are bound by State Law or by pledges to cast their vote for a specific candidate:

ALABAMA – Party Pledge / State Law – § 17-19-2

This proposal has been put forward over 700 times!   However, it takes a @constitutional change to enact a law to remove the College.

#To change the US constitution, requires the house and senate to both approve the change with 2/3 majority plus the change, if it gets that far it must be ratified ¾ of the states.  Canada is much more straight forward but the Wild Rose Party would like to take us in the US direction.

 

The Electoral College was put into the Constitution to protect the voting public (can you believe?) from demigods or very corrupt presidential candidates.

Speaking of demigods.  @Trump has ripped up all the US environmental agreements even though the Arctic Tundra is melting and earth’s elliptical orbit is on track and; we are still heating up!

During the election, Trump told the U S that #global warming was a farce dreamed up by the Chinese to injure US economy. Now he is saber rattling about the South China sea pointedly taking US attention off the middle east.  It is easy to see why his comradeship with Mr. @Putin was so easily formed.

His policies are the epidemy of protectionism complete with walls and fences.  Wait until he goes to work on the rest of his rhetoric.  @Saudi’s will have to dig in.  Perhaps the US will be an unwelcome guest on their middle east airports and military bases?  New middle east alliances?  @Turkey

How I see the results?

China can put more onto Trump’s plate than the US is capable of handling.  Starting with pulling or selling off their US dollars.  A crippling move!

I must explain the US has a half dozen ways of measuring unemployment but you really have to dig for the totals.  Their popular figure is 2% where in fact that is just one iconic measurement. There is a large segment that have used up their equivalent of EI so are not counted as unemployed.

Trump took office with 8 million Americans unemployed.  Perhaps he’s ready for war?  I don’t know.  But, he may see a robust military build up and engagement as being a way  out of recession which, has been proven so many times, not to work at all.

If he follows up in his present course, it will leave Russia to get rid of ISIS and anyone not friendly with Assad and firmly install the old regime (Assad) who Russia backs and it will be left to Israel to clean up a mess.

The next 4 years are going to be hell on earth!
