Trudeau says “protests should always be legal” at stop in Victoria
At a press conference in Victoria, British Columbia on Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau praised the right of Canadians to protest, saying he encourages people to express their disagreements with the government.
Trudeau made the comment in response to a question from reporters following an announcement highlighting the Liberal government’s 2022 budget spending on electric vehicles and infrastructure.
John Ivison: Ottawa is buying armoured vehicles for Ukraine, but they won’t be enough
The Trudeau government’s announcement of $500 million in military aid for Ukraine in the budget may finally unblock a bureaucratic logjam that has seen Canada’s words of support far outpace its actions.
Ottawa is understood to be in the final stages of naming a supplier of armoured personnel carriers to send to Ukraine, with Mississauga, Ont.-based Roshel expected to win the initial contract with its Senator APC armoured vehicle. Roshel was founded by Roman Shimonov, a board member of the Canada-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce, a decade ago.

Moron Justin Trudeau warns against ‘overnationalism’
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a speech over the weekend calling for Canadians to stand up for war-torn Ukraine warned against what he called “excessive populism and overnationalism.”
Canadians Didn’t Elect Trudeau To Work For The World Economic Forum
Lack of comprehension of a fundamental in Canadian governance has for decades eluded our citizenship. In terms of what political science refers to as “Classical Liberalism,” our country simply does not meet the standard.
Year after year, decade after decade, democratic governance in Canada has been under a process of erosion. The signs are obvious and apparent. Yet, because honest media reporting declines within the process, general society has difficulty recognising the transformation.
Matt Gurney: Liberals spending $8 billion for defence won’t fix dysfunctional military systems
After years of chronic neglect and underfunding, and in the more immediate aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it was obvious that more money was going to be spent on defence. Senior Liberals, from the PM on down, had been hinting as much for weeks. First there was the F-35 announcement, and now Thursday’s news: a further $8 billion on defence immediately. More might come.
All the name changes in the world won’t disguise what Bay du Nord has always been about
The federal government seemed to go out of its way Wednesday to not make a big deal out of the announcement the Bay du Nord offshore oil megaproject had cleared what may be its biggest hurdle: environmental assessment approval.

The Star Asks … Should Canada forgive the Taliban?
Habibullah, a Taliban soldier in Afghanistan, remembers setting land mines at age 17 on his first day of fighting near Kandahar. “I saw a Canadian tank explode and knew I had killed for the first time,” he remembers with remorse.
Three of his friends also died that day in 2009 — at the hands of Canadians, he says.
Habibullah, 30, says he forgives Canada for fighting the Taliban. He hopes Canadians can forgive him, too. “Now we must give our hands to each other,” he says.
Ottawa and White House in talks to stop future trucker blockades, top U.S. envoy says
OTTAWA —Canada and the U.S. are in detailed security talks to ensure there’s no repeat of trucker blockades led in part by “right-wing extremists” who “wanted to overthrow the government,” says Washington’s envoy to Canada.
Ambassador David L. Cohen said the blockades, particularly at the Windsor-Detroit border in early February, raised “significant concerns” within the Biden administration and among American manufacturers about the reliability of cross-border supply chains.
Cohen strongly condemned the protests and voiced concerns they could happen again. He also said Canada and U.S. government officials are looking at how to eliminate jurisdictional snafus that complicated law enforcement efforts to stop the blockades, along with measures to tackle the disinformation that fuelled the protests in the first place.
Canada’s new budget expands gov’t regulations on crowdfunding, review of cryptocurrency
The Liberal Canadian Finance Minister’s budget includes an investigation into cryptocurrency while also compelling crowdfunding sites to report “suspicious transactions.”
Mirroring some of the financial actions taken under the Emergencies Act, the budget that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced yesterday said a “legislative review” into cryptocurrency will be launched on top of the implementation of stricter regulatory measures on crowdfunding sites and payment processors.
Rebel News is suing Justin Trudeau
Justin Trudeau’s hand-picked government censorship panel has just declared that Rebel News journalists are not “qualified” to be news media. We just learned, that over the past year, Trudeau has spent countless tax dollars on a hand-picked team of government censors who were “studying” Rebel News in secret — they never reached out to us or spoke with us or interviewed us.
Heartbreak as Canada’s oldest ‘prairie castle’ is destroyed by fire
Canada’s oldest wooden grain elevator has been destroyed in a fire, dashing hopes of reclaiming its wood and preserving a piece of the country’s farming history.
Troy Angus, who bought a pair of dilapidated elevators at municipal auction, last month announced plans to salvage and repurpose thousands of pieces of wood and metal that made up the bulk of the structures, often called “prairie castles” for their towering, regal appearance on the vast landscape.
Justin probably thought it was a church.
