the Duffy/Nigel thing could be a well planned something to encourage some sort of electoral reform.

Nigel's motivations for dropping 90k would be my prime curiousity.

to my eye, that might be nice, Duffy looks like he belongs in a hospital, not as an electoral system sanctioned advisor to a goverment. Why not just let him take the fallout for accidentally overspending 90k without noticing. He's either 1/2 braindead or a criminal. To Nigel: there are more deserving charities.

So, Ariondys:

Since you claim to live in Canada, you should know then that, in this country, we have due process and people are innocent until proven guilty and the same goes with Senator Mike Duffy.

Therefore to call Duffy "half-brain dead and a criminal" shows your darker side.

After your posting, 31 criminal charges against Mike Duffy were eventually laid, but an Ottawa judge declared Mr. Duffy not guilty to ALL 31 CHARGES back on April 21st of 2016. Duffy is now suing the senate and the government for 7.9 million dollars for losing his reputation.

In fact, after that well publicized court case, the federal government dropped all fraud changes against Senator Pamela Wallin, Senator Patrick Brazeau and a third Liberal senator, who retired (Mab Harb).

Once the public heard of Duffy's court win and the whole Nigel Wright debacle, the Canadian public had had enough of Harper and it was pretty clear that the Duffy prosecution did serious damage to the Conservative Party's re-election chances, in that they lost badly to the Trudeau Liberals at the next federal election and many Conservative cabinet ministers got defeated.

Re: senate reform, Mr. Trudeau, as part of his 2015 election platform, promised to reform the senate. But after he got elected, he flip-flopped on the issue and decided to keep the status quo. One of MANY flip-flops, it must be said !

canada 12:05pm chart..



edit - image fix....

Thanks for posting that graphic, James. I tried several times to post, myself, with my own charts and a chart from astro.com but it didn't allow it. When I shrunk down the image smaller than 600 x 600 pixels, the same thing happened? Go figure.

If you've noticed, Saturn, by transit, is almost 90 degrees square, the natal Libra ascendant. Last week, it opposed Moon in Cancer, while the Moon rules Justin Trudeau, and the 10th house leader of the country.

Last week, Mr. Trudeau went to India to promote Canadian business. But, he was severely criticized for allowing a known convicted Indo-Canadian to attend a reception while in India and therefore, someone made a serious security lapse. (Saturn opposite Moon in the 9th house of foreigners).

As a former member of the International Sikh Youth Federation (a banned terrorist group in Canada and India), Jaspal Atwal was convicted of the attempted murder of an Indian cabinet minister in 1986.

Atwal also was convicted of a vicious assault on former BC Premier Ujjal Dosanjh, yet he got an invite to a PM event.

How he even got clearance to visit India, with his criminal record, is even more mysterious ! Trdueau's response to the incident was that a liberal mp from surrey, b.c. "recommended" that the visit take place. But it shows that Trudeau has a blundering nature and that he takes things for granted.
