TERRAZZANO: Politicians, bureaucrats shielded from pain they cause

There are now 305,200 more government jobs across Canada than there were pre-pandemic

Politicians and government decision-makers are financially divorced from the Canadians they’re supposed to represent — and it shows.

… Federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland claims Canada has “more than recovered lost jobs” during the pandemic. But whose jobs have been recovered?

There are now 305,200 more government jobs across Canada than there were pre-pandemic, but 272,800 fewer jobs outside of government.

Then there’s the three-decades-high inflation.

This is why Ottawa was freaked out by the Truckers. Our predator class public servants came face to face with the peons they rob and it scared them.

Christian Leuprecht: Canada enables Russia by opposing pipelines and protecting money launderers

My grandfather had a stern warning: Never trust the Russians. In that regard, Putin has long proven himself as reliable as he is predictable.

Having spent months painting himself into a corner, Putin left himself with no option but to run roughshod over the most basic principles of the post-Second World War international rules-based order: respect for territorial integrity and political sovereignty without recourse to violent inter-state coercion to redraw boundaries. The aim of these principles has been to avoid a repeat of the human, political, economic and military calamity of the new Thirty Years’ War, 1914-1945.

Terence Corcoran: In Canada, follow the money + the ideas

“… Schwab and the WEF had help in setting up their Canadian infiltration mission, including from Trudeau’s former chief of staff, Gerald Butts, a participant in the WEF’s Davos conferences and a leading backroom organizer of the Trudeau government’s ideological gambits. When it comes to subversive plans to overthrow the free-world economy, few are larger in scope than the WEF’s global scheme to remake the world and install a new form of “capitalism” based on the recruitment of corporate leaders into the role of government.

The WEF infiltration of Ottawa has never been a secret, nor has Butts’ involvement. But it is far from being common knowledge among voters that the ideological model behind the Liberal policy machine, the steering mechanism that guides decisions and policies, is subversive and authoritarian. It also covers a massive policy territory, from climate to COVID-19.

The Neoliberal War on Dissent in the West

Those who most flamboyantly proclaim that they are fighting fascists continue to embrace and wield the defining weapons of despotism.

When it comes to distant and adversarial countries, we are taught to recognize tyranny through the use of telltale tactics of repression. Dissent from orthodoxies is censored. Protests against the state are outlawed. Dissenters are harshly punished with no due process. Long prison terms are doled out for political transgressions rather than crimes of violence. Journalists are treated as criminals and spies. Opposition to the policies of political leaders are recast as crimes against the state.

Conservative senator MacDonald derides Ottawa residents in video

A Conservative senator from Nova Scotia was seen on a video deriding the response of people who live in Ottawa to recent protests, saying he’s sick of their entitlement and “six-figure salaries and 20-hour work weeks.”

In the video recorded near Parliament Hill, Sen. Michael MacDonald expressed support for the protesters who occupied Ottawa for more than three weeks.

Trudeauscu’s Liberal Party and their Corporate cronies intend to flood Canada with 1.3 million bodies over 3 years

Canada wants to welcome 1.3 million newcomers over three years — but can its immigration system keep up?

~~Canada~~ Trudeauscu’ handlers plan to welcome more than 1.3 million new immigrants to the country over the next three years to help its economy recover from COVID-19 and to drive future growth.

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser’s multi-year immigration-levels plan was announced Monday.

“If we’re not ready to significantly increase our ambition when it comes to immigration, we are going to be in a position where our economy will suffer, and it could put into jeopardy so many of the public services and social supports that make me very proud to be Canadian,” Fraser said.

But the plan comes amid calls from critics for the federal government to first reduce the ballooning backlog of 1.8 million applications piling up in the system as a result of slowed processing capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mass immigration does not benefit Canadians. It benefits Trudeau’s handlers.

Hey let’s make that housing shortage even worse! See how it works? You pay and pay and pay while Trudeau’s crony capitalists get rich.

Ontario’s plan to build 1.5m homes isn’t possible, says @BMO. The big bank believes "Canada’s latest problem is about excess demand." It blames the Bank of Canada's missteps. Via @BetterDwelling #BCpoli #torontorealestate #onpoli #Vanre #vanpoli https://t.co/4npvVFcRvc pic.twitter.com/1YACIHsV42

Despite COVID-19, census shows Canada grew population at fastest rate in G7, unneeded, divisive mass immigration policy to blame

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the national population almost hit 37 million last year as it grew at the fastest rate among G7 nations.

… Statistics Canada says there were about 1.8 million more people calling the country home in 2021 compared with 2016, with four in every five being immigrants.

How have you benefitted from Trudeau’s mass immigration policy?

Let’s see…

Housing shortages!
Depressed wages!
Precarious work!
Overwhelmed public services such as healthcare!
Institutional racism AKA “Diversity & Inclusion policy” otherwise known as racist hiring practices!
A corrupted political system driven by identity politics and open to foreign influence!
The erosion of the value of citizenship and nationhood!
The erasure and demonization of our heritage!
We get called racists and Nazis for speaking out!

Why Canada’s truckers will lose

They are driving into a merciless political establishment

The world does not usually pay much attention to Ottawa, Canada’s sleepy capital city. But over the weekend it generated international headlines. A “Freedom Convoy” consisting of anti-vaccine mandate truckers descended on the Canadian parliament to protest cross-border vaccine mandates and what they see as the infringement of their rights. Anti-establishment voices, ranging from Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk to Russell Brand and Donald Trump, all expressed their support.

Canada’s rankings in the Corruption Perceptions Index have plummeted under Trudeau

Canada has come off badly again in Transparency International’s annual Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), with the country’s score falling faster than any other in the 180-country rankings, which were released this week. Canada’s score has dropped to its lowest ever — 74 out of 100 — a slide that has cost Canada eight points over the past five years alone.

Trudeau’s China Suck Up: Dominic Barton’s job appointment to be probed and quickly swept under rug by Watchdog

Watchdog asked to probe former China envoy Dominic Barton’s job appointment

The federal Ethics Commissioner has been formally asked to investigate whether Canada’s former ambassador to Beijing, Dominic Barton, violated ethics rules when he accepted an offer to become chair of Rio Tinto, a global mining company that does much of its business in China.

Two New Democratic MPs wrote to the commissioner, Mario Dion, on Friday. Their letter says they believe Mr. Barton is in breach of the Conflict of Interest Act because he met with executives of Rio Tinto shortly before the end of his time as a diplomat.

This is your Quisling China Class at work folks.

‘Crazy good’: Rural Canadians are raving over Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite-based internet service. Should Canada’s big telcos be worried?

Canadians who’ve had to increasingly rely on home internet during the COVID-19 pandemic say plugging into the low Earth orbit satellite service has made a world of difference. Experts weigh in on what this means for Canada’s monopolistic internet giants.

“… But Gerry Wall, an Ottawa-based telecommunications economics consultant who tracks Canadian internet costs for Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, believes Starlink has become a threat to the country’s largest internet providers because of the speed and ease of access to its internet connections.

“If I was them, I’d be worried,” Wall said. According to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, Canadian cellphone and internet costs are among the highest in the world.”

More Government Workers, Fewer Self-Employed: What That Means for Canada’s Economy

The percentage of self-employed Canadians is the lowest it’s been in almost 35 years, while public sector employment is at its highest percentage in nearly 30—and neither trend bodes well for the economy.

Just 2.6 million Canadians identified as self-employed in October, according to Statistics Canada. This is a 10.8 percent drop from the peak level of around 2.92 million in September 2019. Self-employed workers’ current share of 13.6 percent of total employment (19.16 million) has not been this low since July 1987.

It’s bad news for all of us. The Liberal party have “hired” our ruling class. A predatory bureaucracy that sucks your wealth for their personal gain and votes LPC who ensure their place at the trough. What could go wrong?

Dairy farmers pushed record-breaking price hike for milk even higher

A record-breaking price hike for milk announced by the Canadian Dairy Commission would have been lower if the country’s dairy farmers hadn’t intervened.

The commission announced in October it would be raising the price paid to farmers for milk next year by 8.4 per cent. Internal records obtained by Global News show the increase would have been less if the normal method for setting prices was used.

“The (commission’s) process ignores impacts on Canadian retailers, restaurants and families,” Michelle Wasylyshen, national spokesperson for the Retail Council of Canada, said.

Dairy Farmers=Cartel

Former Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull says Huawei 5G would leave Canada’s networks vulnerable to China

Former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, who banned China’s Huawei Technologies from providing equipment for his country’s 5G wireless networks, says Canadians should ask themselves a question as they ponder whether to do the same: are they comfortable with leaving a vital piece of infrastructure vulnerable to the Chinese government?

A decision on whether to formally ban Shenzhen-based Huawei from Canada’s 5G networks – and presumably from successor networks still in development, such as 6G – is expected soon from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.

Cost of living tops pandemic as key issue for Canadians ahead of Parliament’s return: Ipsos

As Parliament prepares to spring back into action on Monday, Canadians have one thing at the top of their mind: the rising cost of living.

That’s the latest from a new Ipsos poll, which found concerns about rising price tags on essentials like groceries and gas are now outranking issues like the COVID-19 pandemic, health care and housing as Canadians’ top concern.
