Now that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has finally announced she will deliver her fall economic statement on Dec. 16, it raises the question of how much of our money are the Liberals prepared to spend in a desperate bid to win the next federal election?
With yesterday’s special counsel report providing independent confirmation that Joe Biden is probably senile, we need to do something very painful that the Biden campaign and our compliant political press don’t want to do: Have a forthright conversation about Kamala Harris.
Joe Biden’s Senior Moment of the Week (Vol. 80)
A Minnesota farmer is suing the state over an agricultural grant program that discriminates on the basis of race and sex.
The program, called the Down Payment Assistance Grant Program, provides up to $15,000 in funding to help “emerging” farmers purchase farmland. It is administered by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s Rural Finance Authority.
With the 2021 General Election over and the results finalized, Canada is ostensibly in the same position as before Trudeau called the widely undesired snap election.
However, one thing has changed: the People’s Party of Canada is more popular than ever.
Canadians may not be thrilled with the outcome of last week’s federal election but a new poll suggests few are angry that it produced an almost identical result to the 2019 nation-wide vote.
That many?
If the Conservative Party faithful wish to avoid an even greater vote-split with the PPC in the next election, which is what I believe will happen if Erin O’Toole remains leader, and avoid having the Liberals come up the middle to win again, then they all need to get onboard with dumping O’Toole.
OTTAWA — A vast majority of Canadians believe the country is more divided than ever following the federal election, according to a new poll, with more than half saying Justin Trudeau should step down after a cynical and opportunistic campaign.
In a previous article for PJ Media, I examined Justin Trudeau’s motives for calling a snap election only halfway through a four-year term. He felt the time was right to transform a minority government into a majority government giving him extended powers to solidify his favored ideological policies, such as multiculturalism and the obliteration of Canada’s energy breadbasket in favor of wind and solar, to mention only a few. The strategy apparently failed in that the upshot was merely a return to the status quo ante.
Three days after Canada’s federal election, the final tally of seats remained unclear on Thursday, with mail-in ballots still being counted in some regions and at least one electoral district facing an automatic recount.
A polling station officer was scared of contracting COVID-19 on Monday because Elections Canada didn’t require workers to be fully vaccinated or allow them to request proof of a medical exemption from maskless voters.
A CBC News analysis of post-federal election results informs readers of a terrible outcome: 95% of the MPs making up the new Conservative Party caucus are white.
The tone of the report delivers a disconcerting sub-text: this outcome is next-door to criminal. Conveniently, CBC neglect to point out that the Conservatives and NDP ran an equal number of racialized candidates. The crime being that the Conservative candidates didn’t win. Is it any surprise they were decimated by the Liberals?
While most political analysts were focused on whether the Liberals would hold on to their minority government, something else was happening throughout election night: the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) popular vote count continued to rise. In fact, they more than doubled the votes for the Green Party. In 2019, the PPC had almost 300,000 votes. But this election, at last count, the current total is more than 800,000—more than double that of two years ago. While none of the candidates in the PPC—not even leader Maxime Bernier—has won a seat, the party has been able rally the angry anti-maskers and those opposed to pandemic health measures under their far-right umbrella. A closer look at some of those who’ve joined the party include those who were rejected by the Conservative party or gained some degree of notoriety from racist rhetoric, or are opposed to pandemic health protections. And almost a million Canadians support them.
The further the CPC moves left, the more the PPC is demonized as ‘far-right’.
The former Liberal candidate elected in Spadina- Fort York has confirmed he intends to represent the riding in Ottawa despite calls for him to step aside amid allegations of sexual assault.
In a statement released on Wednesday afternoon, Kevin Vuong acknowledged that “not everyone is happy” he was elected.
Stephen Maher: Elections allow us to get a better read on what the public wants. And the results—and where the parties moved—point to a clear trend.
In the speech he gave Monday night, after his dreams were dashed, Erin O’Toole said that he would work to make sure “reconciliation is more than a box to check.”
“It is the very keystone of Canada reaching its potential. And it starts with clean drinking water as a basic human right, still denied to Indigenous children born today.”
It was one of the biggest applause lines of his speech.
I don’t agree. What has happened is the suppression of political dissent brought about by our permanent political class and their media lackeys. This is why they hate the PPC, they’re shifting the bounds of “political discourse” and the permaclass is threatened.
Canadians today look out over a political landscape dominated by major political parties that feign conflict and ideological battle. The rhetoric and jargon of the last 33 days of electioneering and post-election speeches, reinforced by a compliant media, are filled with a façade of disagreement over policy and principles that camouflage the reality. Canada’s democracy is in the hands of statists who believe that government justifiably holds near-absolute power. Where once there were accepted limits to democracy, today the only limits seem to be the degree to which policy can be shifted in marginally different ways.
