Union conspiracy
After months of partisan uproar over Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s alleged conflict-of-interest issues, we may finally be getting to the heart of the matter. Turns out the campaign to bring down the minister really has nothing to do with whether he was in breach of federal conflict rules when he introduced legislation to reform federal pension legislation. The real issue is that Morneau introduced legislation to reform federal pension legislation.
That the conflict-of-interest allegations are a fabricated front for a union drive to kill the legislation became all too clear Monday when The Globe and Mail published a story outlining how the Canada Post Pension Advisory Council had delivered a letter back in September to Parliament’s ethics watchdog warning that Morneau could be in a conflict of interest because he was “spearheading” legislation that would “benefit his family firm.”

Promising cancer discovery
Canadian PhD student makes groundbreaking cancer discovery
A PhD candidate at Queen’s University has discovered a novel DNA binder that could “switch off” cancer cells and prevent them from spreading.
Through screening numerous chemical compounds, Caitlin Miron, 28, identified one compound that binds to a four-strand DNA structure called a guanine quadruplex that’s associated with cancer and other diseased cells. The compound could be effective in targeting cancer cells and prevent their growth and metastasis. It could also be applied to other diseases including HIV.
“It’s incredibly exciting because researchers have been trying to identify DNA binders with properties like this one for more than two decades,” Miron said in a statement. “It’s so new, we’ve had to devise our own techniques for analysing and testing it.”
Mama's Bible
Four brothers left home for college, and they became successful doctors and lawyers.
One evening, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed the 75th birthday gifts they were able to give their elderly mother who moved to Florida.The first said, "You know I had a big house built for Mama."The second said, “And I had a large theater built in the house."The third said, "And I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her."The fourth said, "You know how Mama loved reading the Bible and you know she can't read anymore because she can't see very well. I met this preacher who told me about a parrot who could recite the entire Bible. It took ten preachers almost 8 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $50,000 a year for five years to the church, but it was worth it. Mama only has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it."The other brothers were impressed.After the celebration Mama sent out her “Thank You” notes. She wrote Milton, the house you built is so huge that I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway.""Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home; I have my groceries delivered, so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks..""Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound and it can hold 50 people, but all of my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing, and I’m nearly blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same.""Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you so much.

He should be sent to keep Hitler company
Neo-Nazi Richard Spencer banned from 26 European countries for attempting to attend pro-white rally in Poland
White Nationalist Richard Spencer has been banned from 26 European countries for five years, the Polish news site Niezalenzna reported Monday.
Spencer has been banned from the entire Schengen Area, which compromises twenty-two of the twenty-eight European Union member states, with four more legally obligated to join.
The ban followed Spencer’s attempt to visit Warsaw for racist march earlier this month.
In 2014, Spencer was banned from the Schengen Area for three years following his attempt to host a white nationalist conference in Hungary, the Southern Poverty Law Center noted.
Europe isn’t the only place Spencer has found he is unwelcome.

The Russians have arrived in America and Trump opened the door
Rachel Maddow Just Blew the Latest Russia Stunner Wide Open: Who Would Have Thought that Betsy DeVos Was Right in the Middle of It
Folks, Maddow just blew this story wide open. And it’s huge.
Billionaire brother of Trump’s education secretary, Betsy DeVos, is Erik Prince. Erik not only represents his family as one of many hard-right, social-conservative activists who have poured millions and millions into organizations and people who would push a far-right agenda. He also is the founder of Blackwater – a company the United States has hired in an attempt to privatize some of the war in Iraq. They represent how people can make money by turning war into a for-profit enterprise
You might recall Blackwater – several contractors were convicted of killing seventeen unarmed Iraqi civilians. The company was forced to rebrand itself several times, attempting to created much-needed distance from the typical Blackwater Google search. Prince moved his family to an obscure place, and Erik largely fell out of the public’s mind.
That’s when things got really interesting, Maddow explains. You see, Prince was far from public view, but he was, however, strongly in the sights of Team Trump. Right before the election, Steve Bannon’s Breitbart Newspublished a bombshell story, in which Erik Prince is credited with saying the police were on the verge of arresting Hillary Clinton as a complicit figure in a money laundering/child-sex ring. Prince also claimed that the Obama Justice Department was working hard to cover up the story, but according to Prince’s sources, arrests were “imminent.”
The accusations were so severe, that the report claimed that Hillary frequented a secret “sex island with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.” It further suggested that Hillary was guilty of murder.
Maddow starts putting the pieces together.
