Gage Haubrich: The gun ban is not working, Trudeau already knows this

Right from the beginning, experts have told the prime minister that his gun ban and buyback will divert resources away from fighting crime rather than making Canada safer.

Instead of changing course, the Trudeau government announced it’s diverting even more taxpayers’ money to its failing gun policy policy.

And it’s an expensive diversion.

Experience shows Trudeau can’t be trusted on Trump’s tariffs

If past performance indicates future results, then Canadians need to be worried about the Trudeau government handling the Trump tariff threat properly.

Many Canadians will remember that we went through the tariff issue with Trump in his first term and it didn’t go well.

Trudeau is less popular than Trump in Canada so don’t be surprised if Junior goes scorched earth on us.

‘Not that much of a deal’: Shoppers, businesses lukewarm on GST holiday

Shoppers and businesses across Canada are expressing mixed feelings and showing little enthusiasm as a two-month break from the federal GST took effect on Saturday.

Lori Parker, the owner of an independent toy store in Toronto, said the sales tax holiday could be good for business because it makes shopping cheaper for customers, but the measure means more work for her staff over the holiday season.

“It does give them a break on costs,” she said. “But we knew from the get-go that it would be a lot of work.”

Michael Higgins: Trudeau’s tyranny of virtue

The prime minister is right, the prime minister is always right. How could he be wrong, he who is so virtuous, so compassionate and so sunny? And if you disagree, you are wrong, very wrong.

And so, we are faced with the tyranny of virtue.

If a federal election is not held until October, it is going to be a long, tiresome and painful 10 months of Justin Trudeau raging at both Canadians and Americans like a demented harpy with her talons caught in a car door.

Trudeau is under siege. His MPs are openly feuding. This is only the start of troubles for the Liberal party

For those who enjoy indulging in a little Ottawa “Kremlinology,” there’s been a lot of interesting buzz, increasingly in the open, about rifts in the Liberal government. The most prominent of those differences includes two cabinet ministers, who have perhaps the highest profiles: Mélanie Joly and, just this week, Chrystia Freeland.

Other disagreements are less prominent, but no less instructive. Last week, the CBC reported that Chandra Arya, an Ontario-based Liberal MP, was accusing one of his fellow Liberal MPs, B.C.-based Sukh Dhaliwal, of threatening him and aggressively accosting him outside the House of Commons.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s four-day trip to Europe in June 2024 came with a hefty price tag for Canadian taxpayers, with records showing $71,000 spent on food alone, including $43,000 on inflight catering.

The total cost of the trip, which included stops in Italy and Switzerland for a G7 Summit and a Summit on Peace in Ukraine, amounted to at least $918,000.
