Biden admin braces for possible Trump win, installs 'roadblocks' to stop him from reshaping government President Biden's administration and liberal supporters in Washington are bracing for a possible Donald Trump victory in November by installing "roadblocks" to limit the latter's ability to fire thousands of government workers, according to a new report. The Associated Press reported that a cabal of left-leaning experts, legal advisers and others are confident Biden will be re-elected but are urging him to prepare for the worst: another Trump presidency beginning in 2025. "My impression is the Biden administration is taking very seriously that potential threat and is trying to do things now," Michael Linden, former executive associate director of the White House Office of Management and Budget under Biden, told the AP. Although he added there was no "magic bullet" to stop Trump if he took office again. "Nobody should be under any illusion that there’s anything that this president can do in advance to prevent the next president from doing things that are very damaging, potentially catastrophically." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-admin-braces-for-possible-trump-win-installs-roadblocks-to-stop-him-from-reshaping-government-report/ar-BB1ioJPX Corruption in Canada worst in a decade, finds international watchdog Canada has, once again, slipped down an international ranking for corruption, standing at 13th in the world and well back of world leaders, such as Denmark, New Zealand and Singapore. Since 2015, the year Liberal leader Justin Trudeau became Prime Minister, Canada has fallen nine points, to a score of 74 out of 100 on the Transparency International's 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index. No country has seen a bigger drop in ratings since 2017 than Canada. https://www.biv.com/news/economy-law-politics/corruption-canada-worst-decade-finds-international-watchdog-8266720 Difference Between Parliamentary and Presidential Form of Government Every country in the world has its own constitution, according to which policies are framed, government bodies and institutions function and decisions are made. In finer terms, it is the constitution, that covers all the aspects of the political system adopted by the country. There are two forms of government, Parliamentary and Presidential. In Parliamentary System, the political party winning the majority seats in the parliament makes the government and elects a person from among themselves as the Prime Minister who is the head of the Government. https://keydifferences.com/difference-between-parliamentary-and-presidential-form-of-government.html ‘Do the Math!’ Democratic Rep. Tries to Explain Her $50 Minimum Wage Proposal to Befuddled Rivals During Senate Debate Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) insisted at a Monday night debate with her fellow Democrats that a $50 an hour minimum wage makes sense. Lee first called for a $50 minimum wage last year while campaigning for the California Senate seat previously occupied by the late Dianne Feinstein. Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Katie Porter (D-CA) are also seeking to grab the seat. Compared to Lee, her fellow Democrats Schiff and Porter have called for an increase in the minimum wage to $20 to $25/hours. Lee’s proposal would make it so minimum wage workers earn $104,000 annually. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/do-the-math-democratic-rep-tries-to-explain-her-50-minimum-wage-proposal-to-befuddled-rivals-during-senate-debate/ar-BB1idHsG PETA calls on amusement ride manufacturer to stop selling animal-themed carousels PETA got on its high horse this week, calling on the country’s largest manufacturer of amusement rides to stop selling animal-themed carousels. https://nypost.com/2024/02/08/news/peta-calls-on-amusement-ride-manufacturer-chance-rides-to-stop-selling-animal-themed-carousels/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpnlkaL8n2M

Debt Ceiling In a speech at the Business Roundtable headquarters in Washington, D.C., Obama dismissed concerns about raising the debt ceiling by noting that it'd been done so many times in the past: "Now, this debt ceiling — I just want to remind people in case you haven't been keeping up — raising the debt ceiling, which has been done over a hundred times, does not increase our debt; it does not somehow promote profligacy. All it does is it says you got to pay the bills that you've already racked up, Congress. It's a basic function of making sure that the full faith and credit of the United States is preserved." Obama went on to suggest that "the average person" mistakenly thinks that raising the debt ceiling means the U.S. is racking up more debt: "It's always a tough vote because the average person thinks raising the debt ceiling must mean that we're running up our debt, so people don't like to vote on it, and, typically, there's some gamesmanship in terms of making the President's party shoulder the burden of raising the — taking the vote."

In September, UBC president Stephen Toope announced that the Commerce Undergraduate Society would make a "voluntary contribution" of $250,000 to fund counselling over a three-year period. It was part of a broad response to sexual violence, which followed release of a fact-finding report into a FROSH week rape chant by commerce students. The Commerce Undergraduate Society has already turned over $50,000 for this year and it supported donating the rest of the money. However, this required the support of students in a referendum to contribute another $200,000 over the next two academic years. http://www.straight.com/news/522671/ubc-business-students-vote-against-referendum-calling-upon-them-fund-sexual-assault-counseling Corrupt Senate While the trio of Stephen Harper appointed Senators Pamela Wallin, Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazeau are facing motions to suspend them from the Senate; the list of other senators facing allegations of financial improprieties continues to grow.

As Australia ousts MPs with dual citizenship, Canada's Parliament embraces many in its ranks As a dual citizenship debacle rocks Australia's political world, Canada's Parliament embraces sitting MPs and Senators who were born around the world and hold dual, or even triple, citizenship. There are now at least 56 sitting parliamentarians — 44 MPs and 12 senators — born in countries outside Canada, according to information from the Library of Parliament and websites. At least 22 of them have citizenship from other countries, CBC News confirmed through queries to parliamentarians' offices. That figure does not include MPs and senators who hold citizenship through descent, naturalization or marriage. Canadian MPs hold citizenship from various countries, including Afghanistan, Lebanon, Portugal, Poland, Pakistan, Syria, the United States and the United Kingdom. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/dual-citizenship-mps-senators-parliament-australia-1.4439522 Here's why you can't be a dual citizen and an Australian politician The High Court has in its unanimous decision has ruled today that Barnaby Joyce, the Deputy Prime Minister, ineligible for parliament because he has New Zealand citizenship. It has also ruled ineligible senators Malcolm Roberts of One Nation, Larissa Waters of the Greens, Fiona Nash of the Nationals and Scott Ludlam of the Greens. Their positions in the Senate have been declared vacant. The National Party’s Matt Canavan and South Australian Nick Xenophon are eligible. Xenophon is leaving the Senate in any case to return to state politics in South Australia. Here’s why you can’t be a dual citizen and an Australian politician. What does the Constitution say? Section 44 of the Constitution sets out several disqualifications that result in a person being: … incapable of being chosen or of sitting as a senator or a member of the House of Representatives. One of those is Section 44(i). It disqualifies any person who: … is under any acknowledgement of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or citizen of a foreign power. Section 44(i) effectively means that dual citizens are not ordinarily eligible to be elected to parliament. https://www.businessinsider.com.au/here-is-why-you-cant-be-a-dual-citizen-and-an-australian-politician-2017-7 When dual citizenship becomes conflict of interest The Biblical injunction that “No one can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24) doesn’t apply to nations. Almost half of the world’s countries, including the U.S., recognize dual citizenship-- even when they don’t encourage it for the complicated legal issues it often raises. For example, one who obeys a requirement to gi ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qogdkRfT0oU
