Bill Clinton tears into Donald Trump accusing him of spending 'hours a day watching TV,' calling his Oval Office 'chaos' and saying America leads the world in unemployment in the wake of COVID - as he backs Joe Biden as a 'get to work president'

Justin Trudeau, seeking to rejuvenate his government’s mandate amid an ethics scandal and double digit unemployment, named a new finance minister, suspended all parliamentary business, and promised to return next month with an “ambitious” new spending plan to help drive the recovery.

 

The Canadian leader prorogued the legislature, a formal act that ends the current parliamentary session, in order to outline a new agenda, which he plans to introduce on Sept. 23.

 

It was the culmination of a dramatic few days in Ottawa. Earlier Tuesday, Trudeau appointed Chrystia Freeland as the country’s new finance minister after the previous finance chief, Bill Morneau, resigned amid policy differences.

 

The moves suggest Trudeau isn’t in any rush to reverse the kind of spending that has already driven the nation’s budget gap to 16% of economic output this year – the highest deficit since World War II. While the pandemic has been devastating, it also offers up an “unprecedented” opportunity for a long term recovery plan and to fill “gaps” in public health and social safety nets exposed by the pandemic, Trudeau told reporters.

 

“This is our moment to change the future for the better,” the prime minister said. “We can’t afford to miss it because this window of opportunity won’t be open for long.”

Canada is poised to see budget deficits well in excess of the C$100 billion for at least one more year. Economists see Canada’s budget gap at about that level in 2021 without new measures. The deficit for the current year is projected at C$343 billion – more than six times the previous all-time record.

 

“The direction he is taking casts aside what might have alternatively once been emphasis placed upon how to eventually exit from pandemic policies in the quarters and years ahead more in favour of pivoting toward layering on an expansionist strategy,” Derek Holt, head of capital markets economics at Bank of Nova Scotia, said in an email.

 

The Canadian dollar ended Tuesday up 0.3% against its U.S. counterpart, trading at C$1.3168, though it was middle of the pack versus most other major currencies and lost ground after Trudeau began his afternoon press conference.

Proroguing Parliament is routine but can be fraught with controversy if it’s seen as a ploy to get out of difficult situations. The suspension gives Trudeau time to work on the reset, but his government has been embroiled in an ethics scandal with multiple parliamentary committees investigating his links to a Toronto charity that was given a government contract.

 

These will now be shut down. The controversy has eroded Trudeau’s approval ratings, which had previously jumped on the government’s handling of the pandemic.

 

Trudeau said he will deliver a so-called Throne Speech in on Sept. 23 to outline the parameters of his new agenda, which is expected to include measures to bolster the country’s social safety net, such as revamping unemployment insurance, and more money for green infrastructure.

A bastion fort? There's a ton of literature on that period.

 

'Fortification in a style that evolved during the early modern period of gunpowder when the cannon came to dominate the battlefield.'

 

I'm looking for a copy of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazimierz_Siemienowicz book Artis Magnae Artilleriae

Great Art of Artillery, the First Part

 

Its name implies a second part, and it is rumored that he wrote its manuscript before his death. It is also rumored that he was killed by members of the metallurgy/gunsmith/pyrotechnics guilds, who were opposed to him publishing a book about their secrets, and that they hid or destroyed the manuscript of the second part. Guilds aggressively protecting their production secrets was widespread in these times, as we can see from James Stirling having to flee Venice in 1725 for fear of being assassinated after finding out a trade secret of the glassmakers of Venice. Siemienowicz disparaged what he saw as a culture of secrecy based on "canting Alchymists of the times Past…they dealed in nothing but Smoke, yet arrogantly took upon them to be Professors of so noble and excellent an art as Chymistry."

 

In the first part of his work he wrote that the second one would contain the "universal pyrotechnic invention, containing all of our current knowledge." According to his short description, this invention was supposed to greatly ease all measurements and calculations.

 

For over two centuries this work was used in Europe as a basic artillery manual / handbook. Its pyrotechnic formulations were used for over a century. The book provided the standard designs for creating rockets, fireballs, and other pyrotechnic devices. It discussed for the first time the idea of applying a reactive technique to artillery (rocket artillery). It contains a large chapter on caliber, construction, production and properties of rockets for both military and civil purposes, including multistage rockets, batteries of rockets, and rockets with delta wing stabilizers (instead of the common guiding rods).

>"and most of all, they shall not construct any poisoned globes, nor other sorts of pyrobolic inventions, in which he shall introduce no poison whatsoever, besides which, they shall never employ them for the ruin and destruction of men, because the first inventors of our art thought such actions as unjust among themselves as unworthy of a man of heart and a real soldier."
