Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

A family relies on a rusty sedan to get around. It’s slow and breaks down often. But the family, instead of opting for a practical replacement, puts in an order for a flashy, new model not yet in showrooms.

Sure, the luxury vehicle is significantly more expensive, and it will take years to arrive. But it is sleek and fast, and the family figures the time they will save commuting makes the higher price worth it (despite the loan they will need that will add to their already considerable debts). Besides, many of their neighbours have luxury cars – it’s about time they had one, too.

This in a nutshell is the faulty logic the Liberal government is using to create a high-speed rail line between Quebec City and Toronto.

Halto Alto!

OTTAWA — Lots of ink has been spilled this past year about the quandary of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s sprawling past business dealings, significant investments and his many potential conflicts of interest, and a parliamentary committee unveiled some possible solutions this week.

Yet, most of these solutions are very unlikely to see the light of day.

While the federal Liberals smugly refer to themselves as Canada’s natural governing party, the historical record suggests that may be true, despite the danger it poses to democracy.

They’ve been in charge of the country 70% of the time since 1900.

… Amir Epstein, CEO of Jewish advocacy group Tafsik, said that while the report properly acknowledges the rise in antisemitism, it shows a dangerous disconnect by ignoring the key factors driving Canada’s surge of anti-Jewish hatred.

“By ignoring the rise of antisemitism and anti-Zionism alongside the rise in immigration from countries that breed religious and cultural hate towards Jews, the government is refusing to acknowledge a problem obvious to anyone with a scintilla of intellectual honesty,” he said.

When your so-called government pushes blatant lies they demonstrate they simply do not care about the consent to govern.

Canada is not a free country.

With Liberal MPs holding a majority of seats in the House of Commons, government House leader Steven MacKinnon moved a motion on Thursday that would see that majority reflected in the allotment of seats on House committees.

This would be an entirely unremarkable development — the sort of procedural housekeeping that occurs at the start of each Parliament — except for the fact that it was happening a year after the last general federal election.

It is for that reason — and for the remarkable events that have transpired over the last 12 months — that the change to committees was not simply waved through the House this week with unanimous consent.

An immediate election call after a floor crossing may dampen the enthusiasm.
