Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government is looking at ways to strengthen the vetting process for the next governor general after his choice for the job — Julie Payette — resigned yesterday following reports she presided over a toxic work environment at Rideau Hall.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could have quite easily fought to keep the Keystone XL pipeline project alive; it may have only taken a bit of pushback against President Joe Biden to make it clear the pipeline project is vital in maintaining the Canada-US trade relationship, but Trudeau provided zero resistance.
The other day Trudeau when called by Biden to discuss the Keystone XL pipeline cancellation simply said that he understood Biden needed to fulfill a campaign promise and was “disappointed” that his administration was cancelling it.

Fears the COVID-19 variants could spread through Canada, causing the pandemic to get even worse, has a number of health officials calling on the federal government to take further action to ban non-essential travel.
On his first day as president, Joe Biden pulled the pin on Keystone XL.
The political fallout reverberated on both sides of the border, as pipeline opponents set their sights on other infrastructure that transports Canadian oil into the United States, such as Enbridge’s Line 3 replacement project.
Go ahead Libs, just keep repeating “Orange Man Bad”.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced anger from some of Canada’s premiers Thursday over U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline project — including heated calls for punishment that could fracture ties between the two allies.
The First Ministers call, which lasted just over an hour, also touched on the coronavirus pandemic and issues with the nationwide vaccine rollout, sources told Global News. But Canada-U.S. relations in the wake of Biden’s controversial move dominated the discussion.
The Canadian government’s failures on the vaccine file may end up being the biggest Liberal scandal yet, according to information that’s come my way.
As I wrote earlier this week, any delay in getting as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible will cost lives. So far, just over one per cent of the country has received at least one dose of the vaccine, which puts us behind many other developed countries.
It has the benefit of appealing to all aspects of the party, being a real alternative to what the Liberals and others are offering, and being an idea that is increasingly essential in a rapidly changing world.
Joe Biden used an executive order to kill the Keystone XL pipeline permit on his first day as president. The move, which was expected because Biden said he would do it, drew sharp criticism from Texas, where the pipeline would have ended in the Houston area.
President Joe Biden wasted no time after Wednesday’s inaugural ceremonies before getting to work. He signed 17 executive orders and memorandums—by far the most in history on a president’s first day—one of which halted construction of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, which would have carried crude oil from Canada through the US.

Gov.-Gen. Julie Payette and her secretary, Assunta di Lorenzo, are resigning after an outside workplace review of Rideau Hall found that the pair presided over a toxic work environment.
Last year, an independent consulting firm was hired by the Prime Minister’s Office to review reports that Payette was responsible for workplace harassment and creating a toxic culture at Rideau Hall.
Sources who were briefed on the report told CBC News that its conclusions were damning.

Everything Justin touches turns to shit.
US President Joe Biden has cancelled permits for the controversial Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office.
The pipeline had been projected to carry oil nearly 1,200 miles (1,900km) from the Canadian province of Alberta down to Nebraska, to join an existing pipeline.
Environmentalists and Native American groups have fought the project for more than a decade.
Development of the pipeline was blocked by the Obama administration in 2015, but President Trump overturned that order and allowed it go ahead.
