Trudeau attempts to bribe you with your own money with a GST vacation on certain items before Christmas

Trudeau government to announce GST vacation on certain items before Christmas

The Liberal government and the NDP have agreed to introduce a two-month GST vacation on certain items before the holiday season, Radio-Canada has learned.

The measure is part of a multi-billion-dollar package designed to provide relief to families hit by rising prices. Ottawa also plans to send cheques to some Canadians in the spring.

Sources said the federal government will announce the temporary GST relief Thursday, which should take effect before Christmas. A long list of items are targeted, including certain grocery products on which the federal tax applies, such as beer, wine and prepared hot meals.

Update: Trudeau government announces $250 cheques for some Canadians, plus GST cuts on food, beer, children’s clothes

‘Men that want to use women’s restrooms are threatening to kill me’, says Republican

A Republican congresswoman claimed men are threatening to kill her after she called for a transgender colleague to be banned from using female bathrooms in the US Capitol.

Nancy Mace on Monday introduced a resolution to amend the rules of the US House of Representatives to prevent Sarah McBride, the first transgender congresswoman, from accessing women-only spaces.

Ms Mace has now alleged that people are “threatening to kill” her over the proposed legislation.

Arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu, Gallant and Hamas commander over alleged war crimes

Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) have issued arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister and former defence minister, as well as Hamas’s military commander.

A statement said a pre-trial chamber had rejected Israel’s challenges to the court’s jurisdiction and issued warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant.

A warrant was also issued for Mohammed Deif, although the Israeli military has said he was killed in an air strike in Gaza in July.

Schools urged to remove bias from the curriculum and swap school trips to museums and theatres for football club tours and graffiti workshops

Schools should cut down on museum and theatre trips and remove references in lessons to middle-class activities such as skiing holidays, a government curriculum review will be told.

Deprived pupils are alienated by the use of jam-making, rocking horses and house purchases as examples in exam questions, said Lee Elliot Major, a professor of social mobility at Exeter University.

He said the miners’ strike and Jarrow March, along with the working-class heroes Michael Faraday, Charles Dickens and Mary Anning, should be covered instead.

Some of this is sound and a balance would be beneficial but we know the woke will abuse it so no one gains.

Ford to cut 14% of European jobs, blaming weak EV demand and rising competition

Ford said on Wednesday it would cut around 14% of its European workforce, blaming significant losses in recent years compounded by weak demand for electric vehicles, a lack of government support for the shift to EVs, and rising competition.

The U.S. company is the latest automaker after Nissan, Stellantis and GM to cut costs as the industry struggles with growing competition from Chinese rivals in Europe, waning demand in China, and the challenges of shifting to EVs that remain too expensive for most consumers to buy.

FORSETH: Blessed are Canada’s young, for they shall inherit the national debt

The combined federal and provincial government debt in seven provinces has surpassed the value of all goods and services produced in those provinces. This not only impairs economic growth but also directly impacts our daily lives and living standards, as revealed by a new study published by the Fraser Institute.

Author Jason Childs says, “When government debt grows so high that it is larger than the entire value of the economy, not only does additional debt offer no benefit to growth, living standards stagnate.”

OTTAWA — Canadian smokers who are trying to save a few bucks by purchasing contraband cigarettes may not realize that they are participating in a growing illicit industry that is now surpassing legal sales of tobacco in some parts of the country.

Campaign Grifters Ironically Killed Dems’ Government Grift

The insignia of a donkey, maybe if bucking its hind legs, can still work as truth in advertising for Democrats. But for the party of the kickback pigs, mobbing the trough seems a more accurate symbol.

Democrats, the party of government graft and grifts, fell victim to graft and grifts this election cycle.

The Harris campaign paid Nu Vision Media $350,000 immediately prior to Roland Martin, who runs that company, conducting a half-hour interview of the vice president that nobody watched. “It should have been a hell of a lot more,” Martin told the New York Times about not his viewership numbers, but the money paid to his group. “More should have been spent on Black-owned media.”

Philadelphia welcomed them. But not everyone is ready for ‘Africatown.’

PHILADELPHIA — Sheriff Haeda Raa left Liberia to escape a violent tribal initiation ritual, reaching Central America by plane and, finally, the U.S. border with Mexico by bus and on foot late last year.

U.S. immigration officials held him for five days. He didn’t know where he’d go if he was released. He had no family or friends to turn to for guidance. But he did get a word of advice from a fellow detainee.

“Go to Philadelphia,” Raa, 48, recalled his saying. “We have a community there.”
