Any deal still needs to get approval from @realDonaldTrump and @JustinTrudeau but with the clock counting down to a fixed deadline tied to Mexican President-elect Obrador’s new term, significant pressure to get it done. #NAFTA
An unexpected scene outside #Vancouver Provincial Court today ahead of Ibrahim Ali's court appearance. Counter protests have drowned out a vigil planned by the #Syrian community. Many here are blaming @JustinTrudeau's acceptance of refugees for Marrisa Shen's murder. @GlobalBC
“Where’s Trudeau?” is now being chanted outside the #Vancouver Provincial Courthouse. Dozens of demonstrators tell us they’re here in support of Marrisa Shen’s Family. Demonstrators we’ve spoken to say Ibrahim Ali, who came to #Canada as a #Syrian refugee, wasn’t properly vetted.
Members of the #Syrian community living in #Vancouver have now set up a candlelight vigil outside the courthouse where Ibrahim Ali, accused in the murder of Marrisa Shen, is scheduled to appear today. Here’s what they had to tell us. @GlobalBC
So #Trudeau is spending #Canada into oblivion. Investment money is leaving or already left. #Canadamilitary lacks equipment and funding, with no long term strategy for procurement of military equipment. Rising interest rates (4th time since last summer) will eventually lead to-
hyper-inflation, absolutely devaluing investments such as Homes and Businesses of the average citizen. No Trade deal is even close to being signed. Massive new Taxes, waves of people entering the country illegally. A Prime minister who was found guilty of 4 felonies committed-
in the course of his duties as Prime Minister. Magically timed shootings coincide with gun control measures, at locations which would be celebrating holidays or having events where large numbers of people would be attending. #cdnpoli
Looking to #invest in the #Uranium space? 🌊🚢 For the average #investor the choices are limited in this tiny niche sector with only ~60 companies left standing, compared to over 500 during last #U3O8 Bull market. In this thread I will try to lay out some of your options... 🗂️ 
If you want lowest risk #investment in #uranium then best option is an unleveraged exchange-traded Fund that holds Physical #U3O8. ⚛️ In North America that's Uranium Participation (Canada: $U US: $URPTF) & in UK that's Yellow Cake PLC on London Stock Exchange (#AIM: $YCA) ✍🏼
Today the First Nations challenge to #SiteC in BC Supreme Court resumes, asking for an injunction to stop work on the dam until the rest of the Treaty 8 infringement case is decided in court. A critical case for BC. Follow the #SiteC & #SiteCInjunction hashtags this week! #bcpoli
Heading over to 800 Smithe now for 9:45 entry. All are welcome to be in the courtroom - please join us. Latecomers not admitted; proceedings start 10 am sharp. #bcpoli
This final week of the #SiteCinjunction hearing involves lawyers from the Province of BC (we have already heard from @sage_legal on behalf of West Moberly & Prophet River FNs, and BC Hydro's lawyers. #bcpoli #SiteC
In cabinet meeting, @larry_kudlow says economy of #China "is just heading South...Right now, their economy looks terrible.”
Pool allowed to remain in cabinet meeting for extended time. @POTUS comments: “if you’d like, you can stay. If you’d like, you can leave. Freedom of the press.”
In cabinet meeting @POTUS asks @jeffsessions to look into opioids coming from #China and #Mexico, saying those countries were “sending their garbage and killing our people. .. It’s almost a form of warfare."

“Many of the views expressed by the organization’s speakers are misogynistic, homophobic, racist and/or promote violence,” the @CanRevAgency Charities Branch wrote in a letter sent to the mosque president.
It means the mosque no longer benefits from the #tax advantages enjoyed by government-registered charities. Foremost, it cannot issue receipts allowing donors to claim their contributions as income tax deductions.
Does AUSA Moira Kim Penza, prosecutor in the fed. #NXIVM #RICO criminal racketeering case, realize that her indictments of #NXIVM leader, Keith Raniere aka "Vanguard," last March, may have affected the outcome of the 2018 Mexican Presidential Election? #ArizonaMafia #Democrats
Moira Kim Penza is 1 of the main prosecutors in the federal #NXIVM #RICO criminal case. A #RICO case is very serious; it is 1 of the most complex types of prosecutions the U.S. Government can initiate. Moira's boss is Richard P. Donoghue, U.S. Atty for the Eastern District of NY.
Penza is a smart lawyer. According to publicly available information, she studied at Cornell Law School, a private Ivy League University located in Ithaca, New York. Cornell was ranked the #13 law school in America, out of 203 law schools, by U.S. News & World Report, in 2018.

The narrative they are pushing: Canada is standing firm in its principles of gender equality and is sticking up to the big bad Saudi Arabia.

I want to say something about the issue of #Saudi students in Canada likely being relocated.
I worked at a language school in the US, some years ago. We had Saudi male and female students. All of the female students had a guardian - brother, husband, sometimes cousin. 1/

We worked very hard to be culturally sensitive, and our students very much reciprocated.
But students are students. There was a male student who... never came to class. Never did any work. Repeated levels over and over again.
Problem was, he was a guardian for his sister. 2/

She was a diligent student, not top of the class, but diligent.
It got to the point where her brother was going to flunk out of school, and with that likely have to return to KSA.
Only... he wouldn't be going alone. He'd take his sister with him. 3/

#Saudi Arabia says #Canada's statement on the arrest of activists in the Kingdom is an unacceptable interference in its internal affairs, expels the Canadian ambassador and freezes all future trade. bbc.in/2vs6crl
"In her first public response to Saudi Arabia's actions, Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Monday: 'Let me be very clear ... Canada will always stand up for human rights in Canada and around the world, and women's rights are human rights'." aljazeera.com/news/2018/08/s…
Direct investment was already down in #Saudi Arabia after some of the recent disturbances; this spat with #Canada is unlikely to help. on.wsj.com/2OgITYl

This is the first time #SaudiArabia overtly terrorises the west: In the past
1. Saudi threatened to retrieve $750 bn from the US is JASTA law is implemented
2. Saudi threatened to stop any financial support to the UN if accused of violating Human rights

#SaudiArabia changed its deleted tweet, unaware it can never be deleted and hidden, in a photoshop, the 9/11 hijacked plan used by #AQ.
#Statement | The negative and surprising attitude of #Canada is an entirely false claim and utterly incorrect.
#Statement | We have been briefed by what the #Canadian foreign minister and the Canadian embassy to the #Kingdom released on what they named "civil society rights activists", and we affirm that this negative and surprising attitude is an incorrect claim.
#Statement | The Canadian position is an overt and blatant interference in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of #SaudiArabia and is in contravention of the most basic international norms and all the charters governing relations between States.
BREAKING: Saudi Arabia recalls its ambassador to Canada, considers Canadian ambassador persona non grata. Freezes all new trade and investment transactions with Canada: Saudi Press Agency.
Comes days after Canadian government said it was 'gravely concerned' about arrests of activists in Saudi Arabia, including sister of jailed blogger Raif Badawi, and called for their release. Background: cbc.ca/1.4770268
Latest on Canadian relations with Saudi Arabia:
#Russia, #Israel, #US & #Jirdan eventually negotiated departure of 422 #WhiteHelmets & their families out of #Syria (initial number was reportedly 827).#Canada, #Germany, #UK also involved in talks, each agreed to host them. Some 3750 activists remain in SYR.

💥Trump allegedly conspires with the Russians to fix the 2016 election.
➡️That's the crime.
⚡️Then he accuses Obama of not doing anything about the crime he committed (allegedly) in the last 2 mos of Obama's presidency?
🤪If it sounds insane, it is.

➡️Answer: Because the Obama administration was investigating. And the Mueller team is still investigating.

Reposting this: Firstly, because the first photo is falsely attributed to the intentional slaugther of the bison in the US when, in fact, it was taken in what is now Regina, and lastly, to dispel a narrative that tribes were "over hunting"~ #101 stuff

The culling was done here, in what is now Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta. The last northern herd was wiped out in the 1860s. That sparked a conflict between the Cree and Blackfoot as the Cree had to push west to find the last herds. It was manifest genocide policy. #canada

Le déraillement du #G7Charlevoix par #Trump démontre 1 trait central du président US. Il n'est pas"idiot"OU machiavélique selon le dilemme établi depuis son entrée en politique en juin 2015. Il paraît très cohérent idéologiquement ET fort naïf dans la relation interpersonnelle...
2) #Trump applique 1 doctrine ancienne,déjà exposée en 1987 dans sa fameuse pub au @nytimes:
a) refus de toute régulation de l'ordre international par les #EtatsUnis, trop coûteuse;
b) refus des alliances contraignantes
c) priorité à 1 développement centré sur le territoire US
a) refus de toute régulation de l'ordre international par les #EtatsUnis, trop coûteuse;
b) refus des alliances contraignantes
c) priorité à 1 développement centré sur le territoire US
3) Car reprenons ce texte de #Trump en 1987 qui est son 1er"manifeste"- publicitaire, quel présage- de politique étrangère...et tout le #G7Charlevoix, ainsi que sa mise en déroute- y est contenu...
Que retenir finalement du #G7Charlevoix que #Trump quitte ce matin en avance après à peine 24h de présence?Qu'il avance sur la remise en cause d'1 ordre mondial libéral régulé par les #EtatsUnis depuis 1945 et qu'il se moque toujours des salamalecs.#thread washingtonpost.com/world/national…
2) En effet, on a vu de nouveau le président #Macron et le PM canadien #Trudeau revenir à la stratégie #compol des démonstrations d'affection et de dialogue amical, mises en scène pour l'opinion publique, afin de fléchir 1 #Trump qui les accueille poliment SANS s'engager sur rien
3) #Trump plaisante avec (sur?) #Trudeau, complimente-à l'excès- le président #Macron sur leur relation très spéciale, il est comme 1 poisson dans l'eau avec ses jeux de dupes face caméra, qui ne l'impliquent pas...

Do @AdamSchiffCA and @SenWarren care to comment about their buddy #SamanthaBee calling a woman, mother and public servant a “feckless c**t” and telling her to dress like a hooker? The same woman who’s currently working on #PrisonReform cc: @TBSNetwork @TheDemocrats
Is that your office #AdamSchiff as your constituent please answer why this is okay? Though it’s something you probably wish you could say yourself that’s why I’m voting for @Johnny_Congress #FullOfSchiff #TakeBackCalifornia
Dear @BarackObama and @madeleine do you condone calling women “feckless c**ts” and telling them to dress like hookers? #AskingForAFriend
THREAD: The US @StateDept released its annual #ReligiousFreedom report today. From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, here's where #LGBT issues come up in this year's reports.
#LGBT issues feature in this year's reports on Australia, Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, Costa Rica, Greece, Indonesia, Israel, Jamaica, the Maldives, Mauritania, New Zealand, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, Sudan, Syria & Turkey. (And I probably missed others.)
The report on #Australia stays pretty neutral in its discussion of the legalization of same-sex marriage and subsequent push for religious exemptions under Australian law. state.gov/documents/orga…
