Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
With condos not selling, Canada faces worsening home ownership crisis
OTTAWA – Canada’s home ownership crisis is likely to worsen over the next few years as proposed project sales languish at historically low levels, stalling the funding needed for construction, half a dozen economists and realtors told Reuters.
The sale of these proposed projects, comprising an array of one- or two-bedroom condominiums in major hubs like Toronto, is commonly called pre-construction sales, and a bulk of these properties are usually bought by investors to rent out.
Thank Justin for this mess.
CHARLEBOIS: Food Banks are Canada’s lifeline but can’t fix a broken system
The latest Hunger Count from Food Banks Canada paints a troubling picture: Food bank visits have surged dramatically over the past five years, underscoring a growing food insecurity crisis that requires urgent, sustainable action.
All under Trudeau’s watch.
Calls mount for Canada to bar UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese over antisemitic remarks
The Canadian government is facing demands to bar Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur overseeing the Palestinian territories, from the country, following comments she made that have been called antisemitic.
Albanese is scheduled to speak at the University of Toronto on Nov. 7 about international law and genocide.
I doubt they will ban her. Trudeau covets the Mohammedan vote, he is in the thrall of the UN and his party is virtually Islamist in conviction.
John Ivison: A warning for Trudeau from a Liberal who knows what demise looks like
With impeccable timing, former New Brunswick premier, Frank McKenna has just reflected on his time in office.
McKenna resigned 10 years to the day after first winning power in 1987.
“I knew that increasingly I was becoming less collaborative, that all the forces coming at you make you retrench and rely on a very small circle of advisers,” he told the New Brunswick Telegraph Journal’s Adam Huras this week. “I knew that was happening to me. I didn’t feel unloved. I just felt personally that I was not quite the same person that started that journey.”
Attempts to put Trudeau leadership question to rest only making caucus tensions worse, MP says
One of the Liberal MPs calling for a secret ballot vote on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership says efforts by cabinet to put the issue to rest may only be increasing tensions in caucus.
In the wake of last week’s Liberal caucus meeting, Trudeau has said repeatedly he’s not going anywhere — even after 24 of his own MPs signed a document calling on him to resign.
Several cabinet ministers have been vocal in their support of the prime minister and have insisted that a majority of MPs are still behind him.
Poor, depressed or lonely in Canada? Why not let us kill you
The Trudeau government has given the world a textbook on what not to do
With the prospect of assisted dying being legalised in the UK, the Canadian experience serves as a cautionary tale of what can go horribly wrong.
In 2015, Canada’s Supreme Court ruled that it is a fundamental right of Canadians who suffer from a “grievous and irremediable” medical condition to be assisted to kill themselves. The Court dismissed as fallacy warnings of a “slippery slope” leading to the devaluing of human life and potential harms to vulnerable persons. The Court reasoned that vulnerable persons could be protected though “stringent and well-enforced safeguards.”

China has compromised government networks, stealing valuable info: Canadian cyber spies
Threat agents sponsored by China have “compromised” government networks over the past five years, collecting valuable information, according to a new report from Canada’s cyber spy agency.
The Communications Security Establishment, responsible for foreign signals intelligence, cyber operations and cyber security, released its updated national cyber threat assessment on Wednesday, which flags what the agency sees as the most pressing cyber threats facing individuals and organizations in Canada.
Singh saves pension and Trudeau’s sorry ass again
Trudeau looks safe for now after key Canadian party refuses to topple him
OTTAWA, Oct 30 (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau looked to have secured his immediate political future on Wednesday when the leader of a smaller party dismissed efforts to bring down the minority Liberal government.
The Conservatives and the Bloc Quebecois, the two largest opposition parties, aim to topple the unpopular Trudeau after nine years in power. To succeed, they need the support of the New Democrats, whose leader Jagmeet Singh said he had no interest in the idea.
Trudeau seeks to dodge the verdict of his own party
It’s obvious why Justin Trudeau doesn’t want Liberal MPs to hold a secret-ballot vote on his leadership: He might not win.
There can be no other reason at this point, when Mr. Trudeau is deep into a third term, facing defeat in the Commons and contested within his own Liberal Party.
WTF?Terry Newman: Liberals target pregnant Christians seeking counselling
The Liberals are playing wedge politics again. They’ve released yet another in a long line of official attempts-to-save-their-arse announcements. This time, they’re letting Canadians know that they’ve had enough of pregnancy counselling centres that provide information about abortion — regardless of their faith — but do not offer referrals for the procedure or disclose that fact. No more charitable tax status for you!, the Liberals announced. Unless these clinics give in and go against their religious beliefs, or advertise openly that they won’t.
Top officials admit sharing details on India foreign interference with Washington Post that were not shared with Canadians
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national-security and intelligence adviser has confirmed she leaked sensitive information about the Indian government’s role in murder, extortion and coercion to The Washington Post that was not shared with the Canadian public.
But Nathalie Drouin told the Commons public safety committee Tuesday that Mr. Trudeau did not authorize the leak and insisted no classified intelligence was provided to the U.S. publication the day before Ottawa expelled six Indian diplomats on Thanksgiving Day.
Zero repercussions as usual. Would anyone care if Modi kidnapped Junior?
Canada needs to double its military spending to meet NATO targets: PBO
Canada needs to double its annual military spending in order to meet its NATO requirements, new Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) projections show.
After facing months of pressure from allies, the prime minister announced at the NATO Summit that Canada will meet its commitment of two per cent of its GDP by 2032.
Poilievre says it would be ‘not fair’ for Liberals to replace Trudeau as leader
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre thinks it would be “not fair” for the Liberals to oust Prime Minister Justin Trudeau now, as in his view they are “morally obligated” to keep him.
Poilievre’s comments come ahead of another potentially significant Liberal caucus meeting Wednesday, during which members are expected to continue discussions around the party’s leadership and the next election.
