Federal auditors are calling the Renewable Energy Deployment Program a “market failure.”
An internal report at the Department of Natural Resources that looked at the program from 2002-19 says without subsidies, few green energy projects like solar panels, wind farms, and geothermal projects can survive financially, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
Oh sure. Next they’ll be telling us that insiders have made a fortune on these scams.
OTTAWA — The conditions for a brawl appear to be set after Government House Leader Pablo Rodriguez announced that he will testify at a parliamentary committee about the now-dead WE deal on Monday, rather than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or members of his staff.
In a letter to the chair of the House of Commons ethics committee on Sunday, Rodriguez said that one of Trudeau’s senior advisers had been instructed not to appear before the committee — and that he will be attending in his place.
More Liberal crap…
Government House Leader Pablo Rodriguez to testify on WE deal instead of Trudeau, PM staff

How U.S. media lost the trust of the public
A global pandemic, historic anti-racism protests and a turbulent U.S. presidential election had Americans glued to their screens in 2020 like never before. Cable news ratings soared, online news subscriptions increased and the amount of time we all spent online broke records.
But as people consumed more news, they also began to trust the media less, surveys showed. According to a recent Gallup survey, the percentage of Americans with no trust in the mass media hit a record high in 2020: only nine per cent of respondents said they trust the mass media “a great deal” and a full 60 per cent said they have little to “no trust at all” in it.
The American media landscape has become increasingly polarized over the last few decades.
Hard hitting unbiased CBC political coverage… paid for by you.
The Supreme Court of Canada on Thursday has given the federal government the constitutional green light to impose a carbon tax on the provinces.
The decision was the culmination of years of disputes between some provinces and the federal government over the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (GGPPA). The law, which was introduced in 2018, laid out a national framework for pricing carbon – one that applies to everyday consumers as well as industrial emitters.
Taxes used to be the cost of maintaining the social contract, now it’s just theft by the ruling class.
I’d like to call myself an optimist, but maybe I’m actually a fool for believing that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government will ever change when it comes to dealing with China.
They’ve made some steps over the past week or so rallying international support to condemn the mock trials of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, but I still have lingering doubts that they’re truly going to change.
We were betrayed by Canada’s China class. It is my hope that they one day be regarded in the same light as those who collaborated with Hitler.
‘This is a political scandal for the government, not for WE Charity.’ — Marc Kielburger at Monday’s House of Commons ethics committee hearing.
So, Marc, it’s a scandal you say, but just for the government, not for WE. I presume you mean the present government led by Justin Trudeau. A scandal for the Liberal government.
Is it possible our prime minister, Justin Trudeau, is in reality the lost Kielburger triplet?
From time to time on Monday, during the Commons Ethics committee testimony of WE Charity pitchmen, Marc and Craig Kielburger, I’ll admit I wondered whether maybe Craig Kielburger and Justin Trudeau were the same person.
It was maybe an hour or so into the Kielburger brothers’ testimony on Monday when Nathaniel Erskine-Smith finally cut to the heart of the matter. The Liberal MP, in his mild and polite way, absolutely skewered the Kielburgers over the heartbreaking story shared by U.S. journalist Reed Cowan. Cowan had donated to WE Charity, and helped raise a sum reportedly running into the millions. Cowan was told by WE that the funds had gone to the construction of a school in Kenya, and that a plaque honouring Cowan’s late son Wesley had been put up in his honour. The problem is that the plaque was later taken down and replaced by another plaque, honouring another donor, which Cowan discovered on a subsequent visit.
It’s difficult to like the Kielbugger boys.
WE Charity founders accuse MPs of trying them in ‘court of public opinion’
Craig and Marc Kielburger say a parliamentary committee’s study into WE Charity is nothing short of a political trial, accusing MPs of trying to score points at the expense of children around the world.
The brothers delivered the indictment of the House of Commons ethics committee this afternoon as they defended WE’s operations and structure as well as the since-cancelled agreement to have it manage a federal student-grant program.
Rogers Communications has signed a deal to buy Shaw Communications in a transaction valued at $26 billion, including debt, which would create Canada’s No. 2 cellular operator — but is likely to face stiff regulatory scrutiny.
Under the plan, Rogers will pay $40.50 in cash for each of Shaw’s issued and outstanding class A and class B shares. Shaw’s class B shares closed at $23.90 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Friday.
As part of the transaction, the companies said Rogers will invest $2.5 billion in 5G networks over the next five years across Western Canada.
Is this really a good idea? In Crony Capitalism Canada it is!
Rogers fines 91-year-old woman unable to return equipment due to lockdown
The family of a 91-year-old woman is outraged Rogers had demanded she pay hundreds of dollars for failing to return phone and internet equipment while her long-term care home was under lockdown.
The family cancelled those services for Joan Davis in early May after noticing her dementia was worsening and she was struggling to use them.
They kept basic cable to help her pass the time. Her daughter, Lori Davis, says Rogers told the family a technician would pick up the equipment, but never showed.
As a single marker to the hollowness of my days, only partially accounted for by the COVID quarantines and the endless relays of its dreary and confusing morbidity statistics, allow me to tell you I have been watching some old video clips of past WE Days of brand Kielburger.
Wee liars…
WE Charity still sitting on $40M in Toronto real estate that was to be sold for endowment fund
Six months after WE Charity announced it would sell off its Canadian assets to create an endowment fund for its humanitarian programs abroad, more than $40 million in Toronto real estate remains with the charity organization.
“A Nanos Research Group poll, reported by Bloomberg News, found that only 17% of respondents think the country should accept more immigrants in 2021 than it did in 2020.
The result is a shunning of majority opinion by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. As Cultural Action Party has pointed out, within the world of public polls in Canada, a curious state-of-affairs exists.
Immigration policy should be designed solely to benefit citizens not the corporate sector or political parties as is the case in Canada.
OTTAWA – “Horrifying” stories of WE Charity’s alleged plaque-swapping and other dubious practices has prompted calls for investigations by the RCMP, the Canada Revenue Agency and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
Charity experts fear that the allegations will make Canadians less likely to open their wallets to other charities, already dealing with a downturn due to the pandemic.
It’s good to see that some outside testimony from a former donor, and a significant one, to WE Charity, Reed Cowan, has reignited public attention to the eerie connections between the Kielburger WE apparatus, the federal Liberal government, and the Trudeau family — wife, brother, mother and the prime minister himself.
A prominent donor to WE Charity has alleged that the charity was “duplicitous” in its relationships with donors and has failed to provide a proper accounting of its use of donor funds in Kenya.
Reed Cowan, a U.S. television journalist who estimates that he has mobilized millions of dollars for WE Charity, told a House of Commons committee that the charity had misled donors by promising sponsorship of the same Kenyan school to different groups without their knowledge.
It’s no wonder the Kielburgers and the Liberal Party embraced one another, they’re philosophical and ethical twins convinced they’re doing “The Lords Work.”
