Happy Canada Day, Canada!

Happy Canada Day, eh!

Terrance: What is Justin Trudeau doing on Canada Day, Phillip?
Phillip: Deking the country, as usual.


Global NewsBills now taking more than twice as long to get through Canada’s Senate.
Bills are spending more than twice as long in the Senate since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau‘s reforms to the upper house of Parliament, raising the question of who should get the credit for the chamber’s more thorough approach — or the blame for its plodding pace.

No snub at G20! Trudeau's clutching handsake with Bolsonaro.

Trudeau: "I will send you much Bitcoin for this photo-op."
Bolsonaro: "Yes. Yes, you will!"

Apparently, at some point after Bolsonaro snubbed Trudeau's extended handshake, the two found time to clasp hands, with Justin using both hands.

Phillip: Trudeau's a Keener.

Did Bolsonaro snub Trudeau at the G20?

Looks like it:


Maybe Jair didn't see the extended hand-shake from Captain Leaf ?

Jair Bolsonaro, Brazilian presidential candidate, will accept election results only if he wins. Sounds like Hillary Clinton!

From The Keene Sentinel:
Brazil’s leading presidential candidate, far-right former army captain Jair Bolsonaro, said that he wouldn’t accept an election result that doesn’t grant him victory.
[.]
...Bolsonaro was asked how he thought the military would react if Fernando Haddad, the leftist Workers’ Party candidate, were to be elected president.
[.]
“I can’t speak for the commanders,” he replied. “From what I see on the streets, I won’t accept any result other than my election.”
Other than Bolsonaro described as a "far-right(er)", he has the same winning/loss mental receptor mis-firing as LOSING DEMOCRAT Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

 Left: The LOSER. Right: Jair Bolsonaro

Also similarly, because Bolsonaro is "far-right", "tens of thousands of women" are united in protesting his candidacy. CBS News: 
In downtown Rio de Janeiro, a crowd that was heavily women shouted: "Sexists and fascists won't advance!"
"Sexists and fascists won't advance!" That sounds vaguely familiar. Where have I heard that?
