John Ivison: Lame-duck Trudeau is still spending, but bureaucrats are trying to stop him

Even after Justin Trudeau’s resignation convulsed Canadian politics, the relentless cavalcade of government spending announcements proceeded apace.

Tens of millions of dollars were committed to the clean fuels sector , to youth theatre modernization , to the revitalization of the Michif language and to address substance abuse .

This reflected the message coming out of the Prime Minister’s Office and the Privy Council Office (PCO) to department heads that it is “business as usual.”

Why Are Canada’s Food Banks Collapsing?

As Canadians grapple with astronomical grocery prices, troublingly high numbers of people are flocking to food banks to feed their families. Last March alone, two million Canadians visited food banks—a staggering 90 per cent increase from 2019—and the most recent figures estimate that 12,000 new users access them every month. Food banks aren’t just frequented by unhoused and precariously employed folks anymore, either: now, one in five users has a steady job.


It’s a dishonest article failing to even mention the demand created by Trudeau’s mass immigration scam.

4 in 5 new food bank clients in Toronto are newcomers to Canada, new report finds

Data also indicated that 4 in 5 of the new users are people who have called Canada home for five years or less and usage by refugee claimants also doubled to 12 per cent over the previous year, both of which, the report notes, align with permanent and temporary international migration fuelling 97.6 per cent of Canada’s population growth in 2023.

Last month, Food Banks Canada’s latest Hunger Count revealed that 32 per cent of clients to food banks across the country are people who’ve been in the country for less than 10 years.

Cole Hogan: It’s 2025 and the Liberal party is dead

Last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his intention to resign as prime minister and Liberal leader once a new leader is selected. Trudeau stated, “It’s become clear to me that if I’m having to fight internal battles, I cannot be the best option in that election.” Instead of acknowledging how his premiership has failed Canadians, Trudeau evaded accountability altogether, opting to not face Canadians in the next election. This type of arrogance and entitlement is woven into the history of the Liberal Party of Canada and will be its ultimate downfall.

Snake Oil Sales Rep Mark Carney tells Jon Stewart the Liberal party has ‘a chance’ after Trudeau’s resignation

Days ahead of his expected Liberal leadership campaign launch, former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor Mark Carney says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to step down boosts the party’s chance in the next general election.

“I think it does give the Liberal party a chance,” Carney said when asked directly by host Jon Stewart in an interview with “The Daily Show” on Monday night.

Just what we need another lying globalist shill.

It’s the Right Time to Rethink ‘Post-Nation’ Canada

There is reason enough for Canadians to be hopeful, even optimistic, about the future. It is tempting to despair in light of problems like inflation, ever-worsening housing affordability, and a possible tariff war with our largest trading partner. But Canada has good reason to believe in itself.

The U.S. president-elect is particularly taken with the idea of Canada becoming the 51st American state. Trolling aside, Donald Trump’s Canadian ambitions are more compliment than threat, and an indicator of the strategic importance of our vast country.

John Carpay: Trudeau’s prorogation served only the interests of the Liberal Party

There can be little doubt that the recent prorogation of Parliament until March 24, announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Jan. 6, is in the best interests of the Liberal Party of Canada. All cabinet ministers, including the prime minister, will be exempt from parliamentary scrutiny for eleven weeks. Further, the minority Liberal government will be able to shield itself from a vote of non-confidence, also for eleven weeks, giving the Liberal Party all that time to choose its new leader.

Population jumped 90,000 in one year Brampton data shows

Brampton’s population grew by almost 90,000 in one year and is closer to reaching the one million mark than previously expected.

New data shows that Brampton’s population went from 656,480 in 2021 to 745,557 in 2022, an increase of 89,077 or 13.6 per cent in just one year.

The Great Replacement? That’s just a conspiracy theory!

John Ivison: Justin Trudeau left Canadians feeling like strangers in their own land

Critics have often accused me of having my head in the clouds, if not somewhere darker and more malodorous. But I was literally in a cloud forest, sitting in a volcanic hot spring, when Justin Trudeau announced his resignation last Monday.

It was the first major political event in recent Canadian history I have not covered — and I can’t say I was upset about not participating in the pile-on. Trudeau is going and history will likely judge him more kindly than his contemporaries, as we saw with Brian Mulroney.

Trudeau’s exit: A turning point for Canada’s stance on China and foreign interference

Donald Trump not only celebrated Justin Trudeau’s resignation, he essentially took credit for it, saying on social media that ”the United States can no longer suffer the massive Trade Deficits and Subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat. Justin Trudeau knew this, and resigned.”

In sharp contrast, they won’t be popping champagne corks over in Beijing. The Chinese government is losing a longtime champion in Canada.

In 2012, then-opposition MP Justin Trudeau told CTV’s “Question Period” that his support for expanding Chinese state investment in Canada was at least partly because “obviously, my family has historical ties with China.”

Canadians’ financial stress ramping up despite interest rate cuts

Half of Canadians are $200 or less away from being unable to cover their monthly bills and debt payments, according to MNP Ltd.’s quarterly report on consumer debt.

“Despite interest rates decreasing, people are still concerned,”said Grant Bazian, president of insolvency firm MNP.

The survey, conducted by Ipsos, found fewer Canadians expect their debt situation to improve in the coming year while a growing number believe it will worsen. More than half say they don’t think they will be able to cover all their living and family expenses in the next year without accruing more debt.

Delirium sets in among some in the Liberal caucus with Trudeau’s announcement of someday, maybe, ya never know, sorta resigning

‘Anything’s possible now’: Liberal MPs shift from ‘hopelessness to optimism’ after Trudeau bows out, though this could fade without the ‘right’ leader

Following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s announcement last week that he would not lead the party in the next election, Liberal MPs say they feel bullish about their prospects in the next election, but also say this optimism could fade if the party fails to elect the “right” leader in the upcoming leadership race.

“I’m going back to my community excited for [the] campaign. I’ve never felt that before,” said a Liberal MP, who spoke on a not-for-attribution basis to speak candidly. “We need to find a leader that connects with Canadians.”

From Obama to Justin Trudeau, how the liberal world order crumbled

In May 2016, when Justin Trudeau made his first appearance at a G7 summit, it was still possible to believe in a rules-based liberal international order. Taking his seat at the leaders’ table for a working lunch inside the Shima Kanko hotel, on Japan’s Kashiko Island, Trudeau, buttressed by winning a large majority in Canada’s general election the year before, must have felt secure.

That security was both tangible and intangible. It took shape outside the luxury resort in the form of the hulking Izumo-class helicopter destroyers of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force, deployed around the tranquil waters of Ago Bay to guard the global leadership of the West.

Don’t let the door hit ya on your way out …

Immigrating to Canada, once a goal for many, is now seen as a costly and often futile endeavour

Before coming to Canada from Iran in 2020, Hamed Heydarzadeh and his wife Mansooreh Fereidooni sold off their car as well as most of their assets, and paid a private tutor for a year to boost their English proficiency.

Heydarzadeh, 40, and Fereidooni, 35, had decided to leave their country because they opposed the regime.

“We were looking for peace in our life. We had many problems there, especially for my wife in Iran around hijab and other super strict rules,” Heydarzadeh told CBC News.

“We wanted to move to somewhere that we don’t have … to think about these issues that we have in our life.”

Five years and $50,000 later, they are considering leaving, as getting permanent residency (PR) is an uphill battle. If it doesn’t come through, they’ll have to go home, or start from scratch — again — in another country.

Blame Trudeau, he made Canada a shithole for everyone.

Justin Trudeau, l’incarnation of a modern progressivism

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is the perfect 21st-century progressive politician: illiberal and smug, antagonistic toward Judeo-Christian faith and values, and a self-styled technocrat whose best-laid plans failed.

Like so many other North American and European heirs of the radical ’60s, Trudeau had more neo-liberal economics than his Marxist forebears, but he had the same zeal for culture war. More importantly, he showed the Marxists’ top-down intolerance of dissent and antipathy toward rival sources of cultural, political, and economic power.
