Justin Trudeau’s Emergencies Act vs Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s War Measures Act. How do they compare?
In this episode of the Canadian Constitution Foundation’s Freedom Update, Christine compares the dark symmetry between Justin Trudeau and his father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Both Prime Ministers relied on emergency legislation in the face of a crisis, one real (in PET’s case) and one imagined (in Justin’s case). Both did damage to Canadian civil liberties, and both relied on secrecy to stop oversight. How do their legacies compare?
Peterborough Mayor Calls Protesters Heckling Jagmeet Singh “Violent Behaviour”
First off, it is almost trite to point out that if union protesters yelled insults at Conservative leader Candice Bergen or PPC leader Maxime Bernier it would either get next to no coverage or would have been reported as a noble effort to combat “right-wing hate” or some other nonsense.
In the case of Jagmeet Singh, this instance of heckling, although it was rude, is getting played up like it was a physical attack by a mob of rioters. Just look at the comments made by Peterborough Mayor Diane Therrien who labeled what the crowd did by shouting at Singh “violent behaviour” and called on political leaders to condemn the “unacceptable attack.”
Gas exceeds $2 per litre across Canada
As of May 16, gas in Canada now costs $2.06 per litre (up 70 per cent from January 2021), while Diesel has skyrocketed to $2.27 per litre (up 55.8 per cent from May 2021), Natural Resources Canada reports.
This record-breaking high follows last month’s record-breaking high of $1.97 per litre set last week, which was 30 cents higher than the high set in mid-April when Trudeau jacked the carbon tax up by 25 per cent.
Notably, April 1, the day of the carbon tax hike, was also the day that Trudeau gave himself a raise of $21,604 to his already bloated salary.
The Covid Stories Project
Finally, lawmakers in DC are right about something. Congress has realized that we need to preserve our memories of the Covid era. The virus and our response to it have altered American society in both mundane and supremely consequential ways. It is imperative to our understanding of our own history that we record and archive our experiences for future generations.
However, Congress’s plan won’t tell the whole story. Each of us—all 330 million Americans—have our own experiences from this time. But rather than helping collect these memories in an objective and honest way, Congress is instead establishing itself as the arbiter of our collective story. And when the government chooses our history, it inevitably spoils the truth.
Joe Biden Connects Buffalo Mass Shooting to January 6
President Joe Biden connected the racist mass shooting in Buffalo on Saturday to the protests of Trump supporters on January 6.
The president cited January 6th riots after calling all Americans to “reject white supremacy” because they were making the country look bad.
“We can’t allow them to distort America. The real America,” Biden said, referring to the white supremacists. “We can’t allow them to destroy the soul of the nation.”
Biden then immediately referred to January 6th.
FDA Blocking Infant Formula That It Knows Is Perfectly Safe
The Food and Drug Administration is blocking the sale of baby formula it knows is perfectly safe, even as baby formula has run out in many grocery stores, and even entire communities. Shortages of baby formula afflict many states, reducing the amount available by 40 percent or more.
