Like Poilievre, Freeland is pitching a housing plan that would limit immigration

OTTAWA — Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland’s plan to fix the housing shortage would tie the number of newcomers Canada admits to housing availability.

The former finance minister made the promise in a 10-point policy document her campaign issued Monday morning. Freeland said the move would slow down population growth until housing affordability stabilizes.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been promising for some time now to tie immigration numbers to housing starts.

Oh yea that’ll turn the race around.

Michel Maisonneuve: Only an election can save Canada from the old, tired Liberals

With apologies to my friends in polling, I do not like polls. I am a bit surprised that, according to recent polls, the federal Conservative lead over the Liberals is shrinking, though I believe that a 27-point lead was never sustainable. What I don’t understand is what some Canadians do not get: it does not matter who becomes the new Liberal leader. They still will be Liberals with the same extremist progressive ideology, the same mismanagement of Canada’s resources and the same prioritization of the wrong things.

Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge will not seek re-election: source

Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge will not seek re-election, Radio-Canada has learned. However, she will shortly unveil her proposal to modernize CBC/Radio-Canada’s mandate.

According to a Liberal source, St-Onge will announce this week that she will not be a candidate in the next election. She represents the riding of Brome-Missisquoi in Quebec and was elected in 2021. St-Onge plans to complete her term as minister and MP.

The exodus continues hinting that internal polling is likely far more dire than the Carney Mania results ginned up by reliable pollsters.

Non-permanent residents now 7.4% of population of Canada

Canada undercounts non-permanent residents (NPRs) in its labour market data, according to a new report from the C.D. Howe Institute.

This underrepresentation in Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey (LFS) distorts critical economic indicators such as unemployment rates and nominal wage growth, creating challenges for policymakers and economic analysts.

ANDRUS: Trudeau’s Senate farce

Last week, the Prime Minister filled another three vacant seats in the Senate by appointing Baltej Dhillon (British Columbia), Martine Hébert (Quebec), and Todd Lewis (Saskatchewan) as “independent” Senators.

But, let’s be real.

As we’ve told you before, Justin Trudeau claims to be “modernizing” the Senate, by appointing “independent” Senators.

Mark Carney is changing the game for Pierre Poilievre, and maybe Donald Trump, too

If Mark Carney is the next prime minister who has to deal with Donald Trump, the U.S. president may need to change up his game on the insults he’s been tossing in Canada’s direction.

Calling Carney “governor” won’t exactly have the same sting, given that the man increasingly seen as the front-running Liberal leadership contender has actually been a governor of two national banks — Canada and the Bank of England.

Gage Haubrich: Mark Carney’s carbon tariff would hurt Canadians and help no one

It would be hard to come up with a dumber tariff plan than President Donald Trump, but Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney is giving it his best shot.

Carney released his carbon tax plan recently and it contained a tariff, a carbon tariff.

Carney said he would “change” the carbon tax. But he would replace it with a hidden industrial carbon tax. And, on top of it all, he would impose carbon tariffs on imports. In former central banker speak, this tariff is called a “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.”

TERRAZZANO: Now is the time to end politician pay raises

Like a bad April Fools’ Day joke, every year on April 1, politicians in Ottawa pad their pockets the very same day they take more money from taxpayers with carbon and alcohol tax hikes.

This year may be no different.

On April 1, backbench MPs will collect a $7,900 pay raise, according to Canadian Taxpayers Federation estimates. That will push their annual salary to $211,000.

‘It was futile’: Trudeau’s GST holiday ends with a whimper among B.C. retailers

For any money that consumers saved during the federal government’s two-month GST holiday, the economic measure “did not move the needle” as a boost to B.C. business, retailers say.

The tax holiday, unveiled by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last November as an inflation-fighting measure to deliver “real relief at the cash register,” estimated to put $1.6 billion in consumers’ pockets, comes to an end Feb. 15.

Carney just hiding and changing carbon tax – not scrapping it

To their credit, reporters are asking Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney tough questions about how much his replacement carbon tax will cost.

So far, he doesn’t seem interested in giving a clear answer.

During an announcement in Halifax, Carney said he will erase the “consumer” carbon tax and make big businesses pay it without passing on the costs to everyday people.

Michael Higgins: Mark Carney follows Trudeau’s anti-Israel lead

If one of the requirements for Liberal leadership contenders is that they exhibit an anti-Israeli bias, then Mark Carney and Frank Baylis have delivered.

In a tweet last week, Carney said U.S. President Donald Trump’s “proposed forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza is deeply disturbing. It would violate the rights of Palestinians and international law, and it would set back efforts to promote peace and security for all in the region.” Carney said he supports a two-state solution, and that Palestinian families should receive help rebuilding their homes and their lives.

Lorne Gunter: Carney just offers more of Trudeau’s tired, destructive policies

In politics, as in psychology, it’s called projection.

When little is known about a politician, voters tend to project onto him or her those qualities and policies they themselves want most to see.

That’s the phenomenon Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney is benefiting from. He is helping revive Liberal party fortunes because relatively little is known about what he stands for, so voters just assume he’ll be everything the detested Justin Trudeau was not.

Carney is on board with mass immigration
