Hi Bernie

The stories in the Epoch Times video are interesting. The question is of their truthiness. The newspaper is apparently a Falun Gong organization for which I have sympathy however how can we extract fake news from propaganda? Oops, it's all propaganda with a twist.

Do you think Xi Jinping can be overthrown? 

The publishers are Trump supporters and he knows fake news when he sees it on TV. ha ha.

Thanks for sending it.

Firstly, your reply surprised me in that the quotation sent to you was just a cut-n-paste of one sentence from an article of Epoch Times.  It was not an http link … at least it wasn’t intended to be.  The intention being that if interested, I would copy the whole article to you.  I guess that the unnoticed underlining of the sentence should have been a ‘giveaway’.  Sorry.  

Snippet 10 -- Canada's Govenor General

 

"Gov. Gen. Julie Payette's disregard for the Mounties paid to protect her has resulted in added security risks and unnecessary taxpayer costs, according to RCMP and Rideau Hall sources. Payette's secrecy and resistance to working with the RCMP routinely sends her protective detail scrambling to fulfil last-minute requests and drives up spending on overtime, hotel and plane tickets, multiple sources told CBC News. Payette has even made repeated attempts to slip away from her protectors in Canada and abroad, sources say. The RCMP has also had to apologize for her behaviour to foreign security abroad because she treated them so poorly, said sources. The latest revelations come as the Governor General's office is under an extraordinary workplace review by the Privy Council Office after CBC News reported claims Payette has belittled, berated and publicly humiliated employees."

My Conclusion

The "knives" are out, and a "not guilty until proven" argument is being presented.  In my opinion, the "Where there's smoke ..." theory, should rule the Privy Council review.  The Prime Minister appointed Ms. Payette while rejecting Stephen Harper's request for the usual advisory board selection process and, now, he should whisper our request for her resignation.  Permitting her a further embarrassing three years in position could be seen as excessive (If Prince Harry is able to resign, why not Ms. Payette ?).

It could permit the long-awaited nomination of someone from the indigenous community, perhaps.

Snippet 9 -- Global Affairs Canada

"Global Affairs Canada tasked a Chinese state-owned company with installing X-ray machines in Canadian embassies  around the world. The National Post's John Ivison, who broke that story last week, offered a significant update yesterday when he wrote that a Canadian firm submitted a lower bid—and Nuctech still won the contract. Foreign Minister François-Philippe Champagne ordered a review of purchasing practices and says no X-ray machines were ordered. Spare a thought for whichever public servant gave the green light to Nuctech in the first place."

"Paraprosdokian" comes from the Greek "παρά", meaning "against" and "προσδοκία", meaning "expectation". The term "prosdokia" ("expectation") occurs with the preposition "para" in Greek rhetorical writers of the 1st century BCE and the 1st and 2nd centuries CE, with the meaning "contrary to expectation" or "unexpectedly."
