Pablo Rodriguez considering bid for Quebec Liberal leadership: sources

Federal cabinet minister Pablo Rodriguez is seriously considering a bid for the leadership of the Quebec Liberal Party, Radio-Canada has learned.

The minister of transport is being approached by Liberal supporters in Quebec and Ottawa, sources say.

Sources indicate that Rodriguez is interested in those overtures and is reflecting deeply on the idea. A source close to the negotiations said Rodriguez could be “ready to move on” after two decades in federal politics.

Jamie Sarkonak: Green-obsessed Liberals want to come for your clothes

They’ve gone after single-use plastics, they’ve made a lunge at agricultural fertilizer — and now, the Liberals might be going after clothes.

In July, Environment and Climate Change Canada announced its intent to address “plastic waste and pollution from the textile and apparel sector.” In short, there’s a plan in the works to reduce clothing waste. It’s far too early to know what it will entail, but the consultation documents raise a key concern: will clothes become more expensive?

GUNTER: Recession? Canada is already living through one

Canada is now suffering through its worst economy in 40 years. The cause is largely the Trudeau government’s obsession with woke causes and virtue signalling over economic policy and fiscal management.

It’s not all their fault.

For instance, they didn’t start the pandemic. And Canada’s economy wasn’t the only one in the developed world to take a hit during COVID.

You simply cannot believe a word the Trudeau scammers say on any matter.

GOLDSTEIN: High immigration policy undermining housing, healthcare and climate goals

It’s hard to know what the Trudeau government was thinking two years ago when it dramatically increased its immigration targets given the added pressure this has put on three issues it says are priorities — housing affordability, improving healthcare and reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions.

Clinging to Power, Canada Style

There is a very real fear and presentiment across the land that the country is disintegrating, Many Canadians now feel, whether implicitly or overtly, that Canada is on the cusp, teetering on the verge of collapse and dissolution. The National Post reports that “A majority of Canadians looking at the country they see around them say everything seems to be broken. Concerned about rising costs, the state of health care, affordable housing, jobs and more, half of us are also angry about the way Canada is being run.” Similarly, an Ipsos poll found that 7 in 10 Canadians agree that “Canada is broken.” As Lee Harding writes in the Western Standard, our rulers “in our own capital city [are] full of self-aggrandizement, handing out contracts to their friends, serving foreign interests, burying us in public debt, and laying heavy taxes on people.” Sounds like it could be the U.S. under Biden and Harris.

More than 300 Canadians filing for bankruptcy each day as insolvency filings hit four-year high

Personal insolvencies are at a four-year high in Canada as consumers struggle with lingering inflation, high interest rates and debt they can no longer handle.

The Canadian Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Professionals (CAIRP) report for the second quarter shows a rise of 12.4 per cent in insolvencies compared to the year prior.

And the numbers for business are even worse with insolvencies spiking 41.4 per cent year-over-year.

SNOBELEN: Protecting Trudeau is ruining political careers

Former Ontario premier David Peterson told me he quit politics for health reasons. He said the people got sick of him.

Last week, President Joe Biden quit the 2024 election race, mere weeks before his party’s nomination convention. He said he was leaving to protect democracy.

Well, maybe. But there are some other good reasons why Biden belatedly and seemingly begrudgingly left the race.

Ottawa quietly announces cost of building new supply ships has jumped by almost $1 billion

The cost to build the navy’s often-delayed, long-anticipated supply ships has shot up once again — this time by almost $1 billion — the federal procurement department announced Friday.

Successive federal governments have tried for almost two decades to deliver joint support ships (JSS) to the navy — vessels used to replenish warships at sea.

After years of delay, the Liberal government awarded Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyards Co. Ltd. a build contract in June 2020 for two ships — HMCS Protecteur and HMCS Preserver — at an anticipated cost of $2.44 billion.

This is how Liberals make money.

Trudeau’s Canada: Hamas or ISIS supporter? Welcome to Canuckistan! Family Of A Yazidi Massacre Survivor? Don’t Call Us We’ll Call You!

10 years after ISIL massacre, Yazidis urge Canada to let them bring their family members

August is a month of tragedy and pain for the Yazidis, an ancient religious minority from northern Iraq.

In the early hours of Aug. 3, 2014, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) stormed through Sinjar, determined to erase the tiny, insular religious group. After announcing their caliphate in Iraq and Syria, ISIL killed men and boys, sold women into sex slavery or forced them to convert and marry militants. Those who could, fled.


Islam is evil. The Liberal-Left hope to harness that evil for use as latter day Storm Troopers against us.

MAKICHUK: How Trudeau blew up Canada’s defence alliance

Munny busts into Greeley’s saloon, seeking revenge for the killing of his friend Ned, played by Morgan Freeman. Long story short, Munny outdraws Little Bill and his deputies, and has him in his shotgun sights.

Canadian Households Spend $900/Week On Taxes—More Than Shelter & Food

“… Canadian households pay a lot in taxes – a lot more than they probably think. In 2023 the average household reported an income of $109,000 And paid $47,000 in income taxes. That works out to about $903 per week or 43% of their household income. That’s a lot more than the average of 35.6% paid towards basic necessities—food, shelter, and clothing.

In contrast, a household in 1961 had a household income of $5000 and paid $1675 in taxes annually. That’s 33.5% towards income taxes while they spent another 56.5% of that income on those same necessities.”

A federal minister wanted Canadian soldiers to serve as props at a pop concert. It’s just the latest way the Trudeau government has treated national security as a joke

A

You can’t be too careful these days. With all the fake news, misinformation and AI-generated “deep fakes” out there you can’t take anything at face value. You have to be on your guard.

Which is why when I saw a headline this week saying a federal minister had lobbied for 100 Canadian soldiers to act as “backdrops” for a concert by an Indian pop star, my first thought was it must be one of those fakes. Or perhaps someone’s idea of a joke.

Trudeau’s Canada: What happens to the dead if no one comes forward to claim them? In Ontario it’s a growing — and costly — problem

The funeral home workers carried the modest poplar casket to a freshly dug grave. There, two cemetery staff paused for a few moments before lowering the box to its final resting place.

“This is someone whose life has ended and we take a moment to just think about that,” said Scott Miller, one of the cemetery workers.


What else can you expect when the Trudeau government actively works to impoverish its citizens.

How did accused father-son Muslim terror team get into Canada?

The shocking Islamic State-inspired mass casualty terror plot targeting Toronto has scores of loose ends.

Foremost among them: How did the alleged father-son terror tag team get into Canada? When did they arrive? Under what circumstances? And were they vetted?

On Wednesday, law enforcement announced that they had thwarted what RCMP Supt. James Parr described a targeted attack in its “advanced” stages.

More measures coming to reduce temporary residents, says liar who lied about reducing numbers of foreign students

Canada’s government is preparing to unveil a suite of measures to clamp down on temporary immigration and has no plans to follow through right now on a broad program offering status to undocumented residents, the country’s immigration minister told Reuters.

“The era of uncapped programs to come into this country is quickly coming to an end. This is a big shift. You can’t just slam on the brakes and expect it to stop immediately,” Marc Miller said in an interview with Reuters on Thursday.
