Trudeau to meet with new cabinet as Liberal support wanes both in and out of the party

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his newly reshuffled cabinet will tackle housing affordability when they meet next week to try and craft a plan that will deliver for voters and reverse the Liberals’ flagging fortunes.

Mr. Trudeau will join his 38 ministers in Charlottetown for a three-day retreat beginning on Monday as they prepare for the return of Parliament in September and refresh their policy agenda to focus on the housing crisis – an issue that a growing chorus of people inside and outside the government say the Liberals have been slow to respond to.

During Wynne’s final run for office I was left with the distinct impression she was only going through the motions, even press coverage seemed at best a polite but distant nod as the province decided it was time to move on after years of Ontario Liberal mismanagement.

I get the same sense with Junior of late as both his domestic and foreign image have tanked. No one likes a woke scold and he is not the type able to withstand ridicule.

B.C. prisoners seek extension of jail time to stay housed, avoid overdose

In the space of one week in June, Vancouver criminal defence lawyer Melanie Begalka heard something from three of her clients that bothered her enough to go public.

In this case, “public” was posting a comment on Twitter, the social media platform now known as X.

“I’ve had three clients this week asking to extend their time in custody,” Begalka wrote. “The extreme housing crisis, fear of dangerous drugs on the street and general lack of resources, it’s all real. And a terrible indictment of society when the best people can do is jail.”

11 injured at Eritrean event in Edmonton

About a dozen people were hurt at an Eritrean-themed event in Edmonton on Saturday during a clash with a group who said they were protesting the Eritrean government.

Edmonton Police Service monitored the group of protesters all day as they moved across the city in the shadow of the festival, sometimes in riot gear while controlling the crowds. Police read more than once what’s colloquially known as the riot act.

Lambros Kyriakakos, the chairman of the Coalition of Eritrean Canadian Communities and Organizations, said he helped organize the annual Eritrean community festival that draws people from across western Canada.

Why does an ISIS bitch merit a publication ban?

Terrorism Peace Bond hearing continues for B.C. woman formerly linked to ISIS

Kimberly Polman is the focus of a peace bond hearing applied under a rarely used section of the criminal code involving measures to prevent possible terrorist activity.

In 2015, Polman claims she was lured to Syria by her husband, an ISIS member who she met online. In 2019, she was detained for her association with the terrorist group and spent three years in a detention camp in Northern Syria. She was freed in 2022 and returned to Canada.

The peace bond application allows the judge to put certain restrictions on Polman if it’s determined on reasonable grounds she may commit a terrorism offense.

Due to a publication ban, CTV News is not allowed to share details of the evidence and arguments made in court until the hearing is over.

David Krayden: Guilbeault’s Trip to China Is a Betrayal of Canada’s Vital Interests

So Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault is going to Beijing from Aug. 26–31 to cuddle up to the Chinese Communist Party.

If you think that is too strong a contention, consider how Guilbeault is executive vice chairperson on the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED).

Guilbeault’s loyalty is not to Canada.

Canada’s progressive parties have lost the plot on the housing crisis

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tries to pretend the high cost of housing isn’t a federal problem, Pierre Poilievre won’t stop talking about it. His description two months ago of a postwar Niagara house as an overpriced “tiny shack” may have been pretty tone-deaf for a politician who lives in a multimillion-dollar publicly funded home, but the Conservative Leader hit pay dirt last week with a heartwarming story of how he lived as a student with his single father near a Calgary rapid transit station. He called for politicians to get serious about affordability for single parents, students, seniors and others in housing need, by getting many more new high-rise apartments approved by municipalities near federally funded public transit.

Mr. Poilievre is absolutely right on many of these counts – and also dead wrong on others.

Something to consider … The Liberal’s Mass immigration scam will cushion the decline if not further inflate real estate values. It’s a cyncial election strategy but protecting voter home equity by inundating cities with migrants might work given urban centre’s are LPC strongholds.

Michael Higgins: Guilbeault handwaves Chinese interference while cozying up to Beijing

It is difficult to decide whether Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault’s forthcoming trip to China is the result of extreme naiveté or outsized egotism.

More likely it is a factor of the two, so perhaps he is guilty of egotistical naiveté.

As part of his mission to save the world, Guilbeault is jetting off to Beijing later this month to talk about climate change.

Once you realize Guilbeault is a ChiCom asset his campaign to destroy Canada’s prosperity makes sense.

Charges Dropped Against Pastor Who Allegedly Violated Reopening Ontario Act: JCCF

Ontario’s Crown prosecutor has decided to drop all charges against a pastor who allegedly violated the province’s Reopening Ontario Act during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), which represented the pastor, said the scheduled Sept. 14, 2024, trial of Michael Thiessen of Grace Baptist Church in Alliston, Ont., “will not be proceeding.”

Terry Glavin: Mélanie Joly pushes conspiracy theories about Pierre Poilievre

While our American neighbours are transfixed with the high-drama prospect of Donald Trump’s return to the White House next year, up here in Canada our government is considering “scenarios.” And one aspect of these scenarios, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, is the “radicalization” of Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.

During an interview with a Montreal radio station Wednesday, Joly hinted at a “game plan” in the event that the Nov. 5, 2024 presidential election produces ominous results, about which Joly spoke ominously. One scenario might be a “difficult situation.” Whatever happens, there will be mayors involved, and premiers. People like that.

Why Steven Guilbeault Sits on a Chinese Regime Body

With Steven Guilbeault set to be the first Canadian cabinet minister to visit China since 2018, questions have been raised about his role with a Chinese regime environmental body.

Mr. Guilbeault, in charge of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), will go to China from Aug. 26 to 31 to participate in the annual general meeting of the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED).

Who thinks having the Cat Lady review secrets is a good idea?

Elizabeth May frustrated by lack of detail in top secret documents on foreign interference

“We don’t know their motives. We don’t know who they are and they seem to think that they can be protected by their own narrative that they’re whistleblowers,” said May. “I don’t buy it.

“Every Canadian should care to ensure that our security and intelligence establishment be reliable, that the people who work there take their oath seriously.”

The CSIS Whistleblower performed an invaluable  public service in shining a light on China’s influence over a corrupt Liberal government and in revealing the extent of the rot caused by Canada’s China class. May is unfit to carry water for the unknown CSIS staffer.

Canadian courts complicit in failed lockdowns that violated rights

Did the Canadian lockdowns violate the rights of citizens? A recent decision by an Alberta judge in the case of Ingram v. Alberta (Chief Medical Officer of Health) answered “yes” to this question.

Justice Barbara Romaine of the Court of King’s Bench ruled that Alberta’s COVID orders violated civil rights because it was the government, led by former premier Jason Kenney, that ordered the lockdowns — rather than the unelected chief medical officer of health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw. The draconian lockdown measures therefore violated the Public Health Act.

Steven Guilbeault’s trip to China raises questions about divided loyalties

How come Justin Trudeau’s environment minister, Steven Guilbeault, gives China a pass on its emissions but won’t even bother to negotiate new clean electricity regulations or fossil fuel subsidies with his fellow Canadians in Alberta?

Is it because the Communist Chinese government’s politics are closer to his own than those of the conservative Alberta government? Does Guilbeault have more in common with Beijing than Alberta?
