Pierre Poilievre’s vision for Canada: A hellscape of everlasting torture says Star

Pierre Poilievre’s vision for Canada: Heaven for the very rich and squat for everyone else

Pierre Poilievre often calls Canada “broken,” but he rarely reveals that his dream Canada is an austere place that few Canadians would recognize or want to live in.

However, in an unscripted comment last month that received almost no media attention, the Conservative leader briefly provided us with a glimpse of the bleak vision he has for Canada.

“I’m very hesitant to spend taxpayers’ money on anything other than the core services of roads, bridges, police, military, border security and a safety net for those who can’t provide for themselves. That’s common sense. Let’s bring it home,” Poilievre told reporters during a campaign stop at a Vancouver gas station.

Because Trudeau has made Canada a paradise of course.

GUNTER: Freeland’s capital gains scheme nothing more than political trap

She said it again on Sunday in an unhinged speech in Toronto. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland insisted just 0.13% of tax filers would be affected by the new, higher capital gains tax rate that comes into effect on June 25.

(She then went on to claim that without the money generated by this one tax increase, Canada would soon be on the verge of a pitchforks-and-torches mob uprising.)

She and her party authored this very crisis.

Welcome to the most unpopular G7 summit ever

Rishi Sunak will meet some of the world’s most unpopular leaders at the G7 summit – but none have such high disapproval ratings as the British Prime Minister.

It means that Mr Sunak will win at least one contest this year as he hurtles towards wipeout in July’s general election.

Trudeau government swamps nation with so many alleged refugees that Canada moves into top 5 countries accepting claims

Despite its geographic isolation from the rest of the world save for the United States, Canada was the fifth largest recipient country of asylum seekers last year.

According to the latest global trends report released Thursday by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (also known as the United Nations Refugee Agency), Canada received 146,800 new claims in 2023, up from 94,000 the year before. Only four countries were ahead: the U.S. (1.2 million), Germany (329,100), Egypt (183,100) and Spain (163,200).

Canada to contribute $5B toward Ukraine loan, source says as G7 leaders meet in Italy

SAVELLETRI DI FASANO, Italy – A senior government source says Canada is prepared to contribute $5 billion toward a loan to Ukraine that will be based on future revenue from frozen Russian assets.

The source, who is not being named because they are not authorized to discuss details publicly, says G7 leaders are finalizing details of the loan.

Leaders of the G7 countries have agreed to engineer a US$50-billion loan to help Ukraine in its fight for survival that would use interest earned on profits from Russia’s frozen central bank assets as collateral.

Ukraine is a seriously corrupt nation, and I say that as someone who supports their cause. Peace had better soon find itself on Zelensky’s agenda.

Canadian Media a Target for Foreign Interference: National Security Committee Chair

Foreign actors are trying to interfere with the Canadian media, and journalists and their bosses need to be aware of it, the chairman of Parliament’s national security committee warned on June 12.

All forms of media, including mainstream media, are being subjected to interference by bad actors, Liberal MP David McGuinty said.

Mr. McGuinty said he can’t divulge specifics because the information is classified.

Christopher Dummitt: Treasonous MPs the end result of project to delegitimize Canada

It’s possible to be both astounded and completely unsurprised by the allegations that some members of Parliament have colluded with foreign states to serve both their own interests and those of governments like China and India.

For years now, Canada’s elite have been acting as if there is no real legitimate national interest. Imagine a new prime minister trying to invoke a Canadian version of JFK’s self-abnegating admonition to, “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” Young Canadians would say: “But I thought you told us we lived on stolen land?”

Canadians cannot be told to just sit tight while their democracy is actively being compromised

Each minute of inaction is itself its own scandal. For about a week now, the Canadian public has been aware that individuals believed to have colluded with foreign governments may continue to serve as senators, staffers and/or members of Parliament. And for about a week now, those with the power to do something have done nothing.

Personally I don’t trust Drinky May …

Elizabeth May sees no traitors around her, and at least she read the report

New housing starts mean $100,000 per home needed to fund infrastructure: report

As Canada aims to build homes faster, both the public and private sectors will need to boost spending on municipal infrastructure, a new report from the Canadian Urban Institute says.

The report, funded by the Canada Infrastructure Bank, estimated the average cost of infrastructure needed to support housing likely exceeds $100,000 for each newly built home. That includes funding for resources such as public transit, roads, water lines, schools, fire halls or recreational facilities

Colby Cosh: Class warrior Chrystia Freeland hits the capital-gains jackpot

Everybody’s talking about Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s bizarre Sunday attempt to justify the inbound Liberal capital gains tax hike, which was first announced in April and which goes into effect June 25. Although maybe a better verb than “announced” would be “sprung.” The increase in the income inclusion rate on the tax looks an awful lot, as analysts have pointed out, like a last-minute and desperate attempt to artificially boost the federal government’s woeful fiscal condition.

Canada risks ‘diplomatic isolation’ if it fails to meet NATO spending target, business leaders warn

Canada is the only one of 32 member nations not to publicly release a plan to meet the target

One of the country’s leading business voices is warning that Canada faces “diplomatic isolation” if it’s not prepared to deliver a concrete plan next month to raise defence spending to meet NATO’s benchmark.

The Business Council of Canada — which has been wading more and more into the debate on national security lately — made the assessment in a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The letter comes as both NATO defence ministers and G7 leaders prepare to gather at separate meetings in Europe, and as leaders of the NATO alliance nations get ready for a summit in Washington, D.C. next month.

We are a Clown State.

McKinsey, ArriveCan are just the tip of a rotten iceberg of government outsourcing

The federal government’s contracting practices made headline news again with Auditor-General Karen Hogan finding frequent rule violations in the $200-million in contracts awarded to consulting firm McKinsey & Company since 2011.

Ms. Hogan’s report went on to state that many of the contracts “did not demonstrate value for money.”

Sound familiar? The government is already battling months of bad press over the development of its much-criticized $54-million COVID-19 travel app, ArriveCan.

So many scandals you need a cheat sheet to keep up.
