I wonder if Trudeau is looking at all the leaks going on in US and going oh hell no.

Since December, the Privy Council Office has designated at least 94 individuals, some of whom no longer work for the federal government, as "persons permanently bound to secrecy" or PPBS — a binding legal order intended to enforce their silence.

The group all had access to confidential, security-related information while working at the Privy Council Office or the Prime Minister's Office, and some were served with official notice of the gag order after they had left their jobs.

Each of them was individually identified by their boss or former boss as knowing secrets about national security, and therefore requiring a gag order that is retroactive — preventing them from talking about their work before the gag order was issued.

In total, these most recent reports add at least another 361 public servants who risk up to 14 years in prison if they ever discuss the secrets of their time in government, whether in memoirs or at family reunions.Security and intelligence historian Wesley Wark says the gagging system under the Security of Information Act of 2001 is unworkable and poorly conceived.

Wow. Pretty sure that's not what Jesus preached.

I grew up among a lot of Evangelical Christians, and knowing their belief system, it makes perfect sense to me that most of them dismiss climate change.

They think that Jesus is coming back again one day soon to bring those that are "saved" to heaven, and seven years after that the world will end.

So, if any of them even believe in climate change at all, they probably just think it's all part of God's plan for the end times.
 
True

Many also think that anything bad that happens is God's punishment. It is pretty sick and demented.

hell I know some who think that if your child dies young, it is part of God's plan. I'm thinking who wants to follow a God like that.

the best (stupidest) line is:

"I was elected to serve the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris"
