PM Trudeau tops CTF’s naughty list; UCP party comes in second

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau topped the Canadian Taxpayers Federation 2020 Naughty List.

“Lying to Canadians and hiking the cost of heating our homes is a sure-fire way to land you on the Naughty List and the prime minister has achieved that in spectacular fashion,” said Aaron Wudrick, Federal Director of the CTF.

After promising not to increase taxes, Trudeau is more than tripling the carbon tax to $170 per tonne by 2030 and he’s also announced a second carbon tax.

Alberta’s United Conservative Party took the second top spot for taking the federal wage subsidy, a payment meant for struggling businesses.

Millions Of Men No Longer Want To Get Married, And You Can Thank The Government For That

Marriage is on the decline, and it’s a scary thought. Imagine dating a man for years, cohabitating, and giving the relationship your all without him ever having to “put a ring on it.” No matrimony, no wedding dress, and no big celebration with family and friends. What about the thought of having children without marriage?

It’s fine if you don’t believe in marriage, but the rest of us do. Most women look forward to tying the knot with the man of their dreams, but what will happen if millions of men refuse to get married? This is what’s currently happening in America and many other parts of the world.

ESKENASI: Do we live in a free market anymore?

Provinces across the country are imposing stricter lockdown measures as cases of COVID-19 continue to rise. For many Canadians this has meant that their only major shopping choices are ‘big-box’ stores or online.

This has had a crippling effect on the economy and put many small companies out of business, but what has it done to the free market as we understand it?

Sam Eskenasi says that the free market in Canada has not only been substantially harmed, but that rationale for doing so simply isn’t borne out by the data.

Second carbon tax expected to increase gas by 50 cents a litre by 2030

The government’s recently unveiled Clean Fuel Standard aims to reduce the carbon content of liquid fuels — including those used in transportation and heating homes.

Canada seems to have an ‘open house’ sign at all our major airports despite pandemic

Is Canada doing enough at its international borders to protect the country from potentially COVID-19 positive travellers spreading the virus after they arrive? Premier Doug Ford of Ontario certainly doesn’t think so. At a freewheeling news conference Monday, Ford lashed out at the federal government for its poor management of people arriving at Canada’s major airports, especially Toronto’s Pearson. He suggested that arriving passengers were not sufficiently screened and that many, he claimed up to 25 per cent, were not observing the 14-day mandatory quarantine.

The Saga Of This Long-Busted Submarine Is An Example Of How Sad Canada’s Tiny Sub Fleet Is

The Royal Canadian Navy’s Victoria class diesel-electric submarine HMCS Corner Brook will be out of commission until at least next summer after a recent leak caused damage to the boat, which has already been undergoing maintenance for some six years. The plight of the Corner Brook in many ways reflects the at best disappointing service career of all four of the Victorias, which Canada first agreed to acquire second-hand from the United Kingdom more than two decades ago and that have spent far more time laid up than at sea.

China analyst: Beijing ‘substantially involved’ in 2020 election

China’s communist regime, favoring Joe Biden, was “substantially involved” in the U.S. elections in November on many levels, contends China analyst Gordon Chang.

Chang, who has described the Chinese Communist Party’s infiltration of American elite circles as an “espionage emergency,” told NTD’s “Focus Focus” program Chinese propaganda favored Joe Biden for the Democratic Party nomination over Sen. Bernie Sanders and later backed Biden over President Trump.

“I think China clearly interfered,” said Chang, the author of “The Coming Collapse of China.”

Quebec premier says Ottawa should crack down on Canadians vacationing abroad

In the face of crowds of people flying south, even as COVID-19 cases surge, Quebec Premier François Legault is urging the federal government to explain how it will try to stem the tide.

And he warned Tuesday that he may also take more severe measures in what’s required upon travelers’ return home.

During a joint press conference with the three leaders of the province’s opposition parties, Legault said he was on the same wavelength as Ontario Premier Doug Ford — he, too, denounced the federal government’s slowness in intervening, since airports and borders are federal, not provincial.

20 Stories The Media Got Horribly Wrong In 2020

It should be no surprise as 2020 comes to an end that corporate media covered a horrific year as horrifically as expected. From its laudatory coverage of the presidential impeachment it encouraged to the blatant gaslighting about this year’s riotous protests, the nation’s least accountable institution performed as usual, only escalating its protection of Democrats and leftism, and shameless manipulation of the facts while demanding total power to determine them.

How Many Coronavirus Patients Actually Died Because of Unnecessary Sedation and Intubation?

There will at some point be a reckoning, if only historical, for the horrifying mishandling of the pandemic, not by President Trump, as the media insists, but by the experts. The push to secure hospitals managed to wreck the finances of many medical facilities, force infected patients into nursing homes resulting in massive deaths in long term care facilities, alongside this medieval mistreatment of hospitalized coronavirus patients.
