Trudeau has money for French-speaking Africans, but nothing more for Canadian seniors
What an odd prime minister Canada has. Justin Trudeau has pledged $16 million for Africans to learn and preserve French, but he opposes a boost in Old Age Security benefits for Canadians who have spent a lifetime working and paying taxes.
It makes no sense. Every time Justin Trudeau leaves the country, he throws our money around like bath water.
China’s foreign interference extends beyond elections to other key areas of Canadian society, the public inquiry on foreign interference was told Monday.
Martin Green, a former top foreign intelligence assessment expert with the Privy Council, said a special report prepared for the Privy Council’s Intelligence Assessment Secretariat in January 2022 concluded that China was going beyond merely trying to influence Canada.
Is it foreign interference if the government is complicit.
Canadians think Justin Trudeau is the worst prime minister since 1968. That might sound like hyperbole, but a recent poll revealed that 38% of Canadian respondents believe Trudeau to be the worst leader the country has seen in more than half a century. It’s no surprise, then, to see the Prime Minister’s Liberal Party fighting tooth and nail for second place with Jagmeet Singh’s Left-wing NDP, with both parties sitting 20 points behind Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.
There’s a reason why Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign puts out social-media ads with middle-aged men saying they will vote for her. And why Justin Trudeau keeps appearing on hour-long podcasts. It has to do with getting permission to change your mind.
It seems to be working a little for the U.S. Vice President. For Canada’s Prime Minister, not so much.
This piece goes off the rails in the 4th paragraph ignoring the post debate backlash against Fabulist Tim Walz.
And Trudeau’s criminal mismanagement of our suffering nation will never be forgotten or forgiven.
In today’s Canada, the cradle you’re born into increasingly dictates whether you’ll ever hold the keys to your own home. This isn’t just a market fluctuation. It’s a boiled frog phenomenon.
Incremental changes – the steady rise in home prices, gradual policy shifts and slow-moving supply constraints – went largely unchallenged. By the time the severity of the crisis was recognized, many prospective homeowners were already cooked.
An interesting article marred by the author’s omission of mass immigration as the primary cause of Canada’s housing crisis.
Overwhelmed by workload, public sector integrity commissioner asks for more money
Canada’s public service integrity watchdog says it’s so overwhelmed with tips about wrongdoing, from mismanagement to violations of departmental codes of conduct, that it needs to double its budget just to keep up.
Harriet Solloway, public sector integrity commissioner for just over a year, is warning the “crisis” could undermine her office’s mandate — to investigate wrongdoing in the federal public sector and protect whistleblowers from reprisal.
Canadian doctors warned to be on the lookout for scurvy
Scurvy is a disease that likely conjures up images of sickly sailors from hundreds of years ago, but doctors in Canada are being warned to look out for the condition now, as a result of growing food insecurity.
A report published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) details the case study of a 65-year-old woman diagnosed with scurvy at a Toronto hospital last year.
No worries folks! Justin is doing OK! And he has a solution!
SURVEY: Feds @PrivyCouncilCA proposed renaming #inflation as “heat-flation” to persuade Canadians to associate rising cost of living with #climatechange, documents show.
The idea polled badly.https://t.co/5QTBJKmQ65 @environmentca @FinanceCanada #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/Pl2zSUu0mo— Holly Doan (@hollyanndoan) October 7, 2024
The Liberals’ national popularity numbers under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are tanking, but still some MPs are putting on a brave face, saying they may be down but not out, and will bounce back stronger in the coming months.
“Oh, we’ve been in the tough situations for a while now, and we’re doing what we need to do,” said three-term Liberal MP Darrell Samson (Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook, N.S.) in an interview with The Hill Times. “We’re going to surprise many people. You remember, 2015, nobody had us [winning and forming government]. They never thought I was going to win, and I was against [long time NDP MP] Peter Stoffer, of course. And things can change. We’re going to turn this around soon. Stay tuned.”

Ottawa’s Impact Assessment Act, like the carbon tax, lies gravely wounded by incompetence and regional favouritism.
Ontario gets an exemption from the IAA. Alberta doesn’t. There’s nothing original about that.
The Liberals did the same thing by exempting home heating oil from carbon tax, after Atlantic MPs lobbied the prime minister personally.
Fewer Canadians trust news media, says in-house CRTC research.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the latest data follow Statistics Canada figures showing journalists are considered less trustworthy than politicians or police.
A new poll released by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) shows that 59% of Canadians oppose the federal government’s plan to ban the sale of new gas and diesel vehicles by 2035.
“The results of the poll are clear: Canadians don’t want the government to ban new gas and diesel vehicles,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director.
For decades, the Liberal Party of Canada has been described as Canada’s “natural governing party.” It’s a centrist party in a country that’s rarely, if ever, been governed from the extremes. But over the past year, the Liberal vote share has fallen off a cliff. Our latest Abacus Data survey, released yesterday, has the Liberals 22 points behind the Conservatives nationally and even trailing the NDP by three points outside of Quebec. This has left many asking: where’s the bottom?
On Oct. 2, Toronto Police pulled over a car they suspected had been involved in a series of robberies. As officers approached the car, a man climbed out and shot one of the officers in the abdomen.
Although the officer’s wound was listed as “serious,” he thankfully was able to leave hospital the next day.
The steelworker, who confronted the prime minister more than a month ago at the gates of Algoma Steel in Sault Ste. Marie and suggested he’ll only be at the job at most for another year, has been a mystery.
Who was he? No one was saying. He couldn’t be located.
In the summer of 1991, famed music producer Butch Vig sat poolside at the infamous Oakwood Apartments. Butch watched the glossy hair metal band, Europe, high on their massive hit single “The Final Countdown” frolic in the pool with their shiny entourage. They were on top of the world. Little did they know that the cassette tape in the inner pocket of Butch’s denim vest would drive the nail into the coffin of their musical genre. You see, Butch had spent the past week recording Nirvana’s second album, “Nevermind.” This was a whole new sound and as soon as the kids heard it the whole zeitgeist would turn on a dime.
Mr. Charisma.
