Two thousand dollars. That’s how much the typical two-car Ontario family spends on gas taxes every year.
Big numbers can sometimes be hard to process. But the feeling of dread Ontarians get as the gas meter ticks up sure isn’t.
Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Biden-Harris admin colluded with big tech, Trudeau to undermine Canadian freedom truckers
Explosive Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents released to the Gun Owners of America (GOA), obtained by The Post Millennial, reveal how the Biden administration colluded with social media and conspired with the Trudeau government to deplatform and censor the protesting truckers of Canada’s Freedom Convoy in 2022.
The FOIA request was filed by the GOA with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to see if they were being subject to any unwanted federal surveillance. The documents released by DHS and first posted by Ammoland Shooting Sports News revealed this interesting tidbit in an email from Samantha Vinograd to Robert Silvers.

Canada unexpectedly loses 2,800 jobs in July … Trudeau vows to double down on migrant import & civil service hiring to shore up vote bank and juice next months numbers
OTTAWA – Canada’s economy shed a net 2,800 jobs in July, as gains in full-time work were offset by part-time job losses, while the unemployment rate remained at a 30-month high of 6.4 per cent, data showed on Friday.
Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast a net gain of 22,500 jobs and the unemployment rate to rise to 6.5 per cent from 6.4 per cent in June. An increase in the unemployment rate was expected due to rapid population growth which the labor market was not able to absorb.
Tony Abbott: Canada’s military neglect has made it an Anglosphere outsider
When Australia, Britain and the United States recently came together in a trilateral defence and security agreement, there was one conspicuous absentee: Canada, the country that had had the world’s third-largest navy and fourth-largest air force at the end of the Second World War; and which, as a Five Eyes and NATO partner, could normally be expected to participate in any big security arrangement within the Anglosphere. Canada’s absence was especially striking given that the AUKUS agreement was about ending “foreign country” defence procurement distinctions as well as about providing Australia with nuclear-powered submarines. Despite being the world’s 10th largest economy, right now, with just 1.37 per cent of GDP currently spent on defence, Canada is a mere 27th in terms of “global firepower.”
Trudeau’s Canada: Homeless Torontonians are dying younger than the general population — and it’s getting worse
Losing the roof over your head could reduce your lifespan by 17 years.
That’s the takeaway from a new study published Friday, which warns that the gap between life expectancies for housed versus homeless Torontonians has only been growing, and is especially pronounced for younger generations.
It’s a gap that persists even after accounting for the outsized toll of substance use and other mental health-related challenges within the city’s homeless population, said researcher Lucie Richard with Unity Health’s MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions.
Mobile-home park residents on P.E.I. wonder how nationwide sale will affect them
Residents of six mobile-home parks on P.E.I. are worried about how a large buyout of properties across the country will impact them — and a U.S. watchdog group says the change in ownership could mean higher fees.
Last month, the Canadian Apartment Properties Real Estate Investment Trust — or CAPREIT — announced it was selling the six parks on the Island as part of a $740 million deal with TPG Real Estate, a private-equity company based in the U.S.
The sale involves 12,138 residential lots for manufactured mini-homes or mobile homes spread across 75 sites throughout Canada.
This is the world we live in, corporations profiting from the housing shortage caused by Trudeau’s mass immigration scam.

Canadian Economy’s Underperformance Pre-Dates COVID and Is ‘Worsening’: Study
Canada’s economy has been outperformed by many of its peer countries before the COVID-19 crash of 2020, due to lags in key sectors such as business investment, says a public policy think tank.
The Fraser Institute released a new study on Aug. 7 which compares Canada to other developed countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
“It may be tempting for policymakers to blame Canada’s poor economic performance on the COVID pandemic and all the disruptions it caused, but the truth is Canada has been underperforming its international peers in important ways for many years,” said in a statement Jason Clemens, executive vice president of the Fraser Institute.
Proles will no longer fear us! Trudeau’s plan to cut temporary immigration means we can’t depress wages & profit from shortages says Corporate Welfare Class
Trudeau’s plan to reduce temporary immigration risks economic harm: business groups
Canada’s independent business advocate says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan to reduce temporary immigration risks dire economic consequences, underscoring the pressures the government is facing as it tries to slow population growth.
Don’t know what they’re on about. Trudeau will do squat.
They were supposed to decrease the intake of phony foreign students yet somehow we’re on track to exceed 2023’s numbers.
I hope Poilievre is listening. Corporate carpetbaggers should not be in charge of immigration policy.
I totally stepped all over that so called abuse survivor and now people are saying mean things about me says disgusting Liberal Pol!
The Hijacking of Canadian Democracy by Anita Vandenbeld
… But this week, I closed my constituency office because I fear for my safety and that of my staff. Headlines in mainstream media about me scream “Abuse survivor demands Liberal MP apologize after testimony ‘hijacked’ in chaotic House committee” and “Witnesses storm out of House committee in tears, decrying Liberal politicization”. Social media posts include comments like “It sounds like Anita has to get assaulted viciously to take this issue more seriously”, “Look at this fat POS, someone put her out of her misery”, “I guess these women would change their mind if it happened to them or someone they love”, and worse. My car license plate was posted online. How did we get to this point?
Trudeau government delays appointment of latest antisemitic Muslim they hoped to get away with hiring after independent review
OTTAWA – After an independent review, Justice Minister Arif Virani announced Wednesday that Birju Dattani has agreed not to begin his appointment as chief commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission on Thursday as planned.
Virani launched the investigation after Canadian Jewish organizations raised concerns about allegations surrounding Dattani’s past activities.
Dattani, the first Muslim and racialized person to be appointed to the role, has previously denied allegations that he made anti-Israel statements, including what Conservatives characterize as a “justification of terrorism.”
Sky-high migration can hurt economies. Canada needs to find a balance
Douglas Todd: It’s become the new thing among the West’s centre-left politicians — to regret the super-charged migration rates of the past three years. And acknowledging they’ve been hurting the finances of many, including the young.
It has become the new thing among centre-left politicians — to bemoan the super-charged migration rates of the past three years.
Australia’s Labour Prime Minister Anthony Albanese now says his country’s migration system “isn’t working properly.”
Britain’s new Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer says his nation needs to be “less reliant on migration.”
Unfortunately for Canadian citizens mass immigration is seen as a weapon by the Liberal-Left and their corporate cronies.
Trudeau and Singh see identity politics as the path to electoral success and as the means to destroy the white working class that rejects their elite values of diversity, multiculturalism, DEI and CRT all of which have been used to demonize and discriminate against Whites because … our skin is white.
The Trudeau government considers it mission accomplished to have caused serious harm to Canada’s demographic by the mass import of incompatible cultures resulting in a low trust balkanized society.
As for Canada’s corporate welfare class they love driving down wages by employing cheap foreign labour. Getting caught is just the cost of doing business.
And of course there’s profits galore just waiting for those able to exploit the shortages mass immigration brings.
But it’s all legal of course just like the Nuremberg Laws.

Federal government reviewing how Toronto terror suspects arrived to Canada
OTTAWA – Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc says federal departments are reviewing how two men with suspected links to a terrorist group abroad were allowed into Canada.
Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and his son, Mostafa Eldidi, 26, were arrested in Richmond Hill, Ont., last week and face nine different terrorism charges, including conspiracy to commit murder on behalf of the terror group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
I bet that’ll be real thorough.
A Political Trial Unfolds in Canada—and the Coutts Four Are Exonerated
Justin Trudeau’s political prisoners have officially been exonerated. A jury in Lethbridge, Alberta found the remaining two defendants of the Coutts Four, Tony Olienick and Chris Carbert, not guilty. The men had been charged with conspiracy to murder charges as a result of their participation in the non-violent Truckers Freedom Convoy in February 2022, and they had been held in custody ever since, denied bail in spite of no history of violence or criminal records.
Their 30-month incarceration and subsequent legal victory are not just the tale of authoritarian overreach by the Trudeau administration. They tell the story of the wider political battle between the professional managerial class throughout the West and the working class over whom they rule—and the cost to four working-class men of fighting back.
Joe Oliver: Four critical endgames are looming that could change the world
Around the world, endgames are looming in four high-stakes political, environmental and military disputes. The results will resonate well beyond the immediate protagonists.
Here at home, a Liberal government in its death throes is engaged in cringeworthy acts of desperation. The prime minister used his officials to publicly chastise his deputy PM for failing to prettify his economic and fiscal debacles. Then, predictably, he failed to persuade Mark Carney to board a foundering vessel with no lifeboats. Unless Trudeau jumps ship early to avoid electoral obliteration, long-suffering Canadians will have to wait 15 months for liberation from: high prices, unaffordable housing, profligate spending, rising taxes, massive deficits, intrusive regulations, divisive identity politics, alienating woke ideology, regional tensions, international humiliation and the absence of moral leadership. Whenever exactly he takes over, Pierre Poilievre will face a monumental task to undo the damage.
Michael Higgins: Shoplifting rates show how tough life has become in Trudeau’s Canada
Canada is turning into a nation of shoplifters, which is less an indictment of the criminal and more a sad reflection on our government.
Shoplifting increased 18 per cent in 2023, with 155,280 reported incidents, according to Statistics Canada. And that increase built on 2022, which saw a 31 per cent rise from the previous year.
Every crime tells a story, but some generalizations can be made about certain categories of offences.
