A tale of two convoy trials – Pat King’s courtroom drama differs from Tamara Lich and Chris Barber’s

The three of them once stood side-by-side as road captains of a historic protest.

Now, more than two years after thousands of honking vehicles rolled through Ottawa in what became known as the Freedom Convoy, two narratives are emerging in court — potentially splitting the fates of Pat King, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber.

Factually, they are separate cases. King is being tried alone, whereas Lich and Barber are co-accused in their trial.

Jamie Sarkonak: Liberals water down citizenship for grandkids of convenience Canadians

A CBC ad campaign last summer tried to define the increasingly amorphous sense of “Canadianness” on which its brand is built: “It’s not how Canadian you are; it’s who you are in Canada.” But, if the Liberals have their way, even this tagline will be outdated soon.

Liberal government’s own polling said Canadians worried about drug decriminalization

Vancouver Junkies – How could this not be considered a successful community integration?

Months before British Columbia sought to scale back its drug decriminalization pilot project, the federal government’s own polling suggested to officials that a majority of Canadians believed the policy would lead to an increase in overdoses.

The results of the 11-page survey by the Privy Council Office, the wing of the federal bureaucracy that supports the Prime Minister’s Office, also suggests Canadians were split over whether decriminalization would make their community any less safe.

Everything the Liberals touch turns to shit.

Trudeau Liberals’ immigration policies purposefully altering Canada

Canada’s Immigration Minister, Marc Miller, has commanded center stage in Ottawa over the past few weeks making a rash of new policy announcements. The changes being made to Canada’s immigration system will make it easier for newcomers to come into the country – seemingly without regard for either the costs to taxpayers or the strain placed on Canadians’ social contract.

Last Thursday, the government tabled legislation that extends birthright citizenship, allowing Canadians who live abroad to pass down “Canadian citizenship” to their children who may have been born outside the country and live abroad. This allows for a person who never has set foot in Canada to hold Canadian citizenship based on one of their parents’ citizenship.

A Liberal position on housing that defies gravity

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appears to believe he can amend a heretofore inviolate law of economics: that of supply and demand.

He said as much in a recent appearance on The Globe and Mail podcast City Space in which he talked about housing affordability. He was asked whether current homeowners will have to accept some sacrifices so aspiring homeowners – who are presently priced out – can enter the market.

In Toronto-St Paul’s, times and politics are changing

A few weeks ago, a friend who lives in the riding of Toronto-St. Paul’s heard the doorbell ring. It was Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hadn’t even called the by-election for the affluent midtown riding, and yet Mr. Poilievre was already knocking on doors in a seat that has been Liberal for decades.

No one is realistically predicting that public disaffection with the Liberals will result in an upset in Toronto-St. Paul’s when the by-election is held on June 24.

Toronto will vote Liberal. That comet can’t come soon enough.

Justin Trudeau Is in Deep, Deep Trouble

A new poll predicts certain disaster for the once-loved prime minister.

Justin Trudeau was once the darling of Canadian liberals and hailed by American Democrats as the example par excellence of a progressive leader. During the Trump presidency, Democrats extolled Trudeau as the leader up north whose support for progressive values and multiculturalism — as well as his intensive economic policies — made him a saint in comparison to Donald Trump.

It’s time for the Liberal Party to force Justin Trudeau’s hand

“One important thing I learned in politics,” said Herb Dhaliwal, the British Columbia Liberal who served in the cabinets of Jean Chrétien, “is that once people have made up their minds, they’re not about to change.”

He was talking about Justin Trudeau’s situation. For a year now, Mr. Trudeau and his Liberals have been light years behind the Conservatives. They currently trail in various polls by 15 to 20 points. No other Liberal prime minister has ever had this kind of sustained and appalling deficit. If ever Canada’s “natural governing party” was in the throes of a death spiral, it’s now.

Canadian Home Prices “Need” To Be High To Pay For Retirements: PM

Canadian real estate prices have surged in almost every market, with a typical home price doubling in many regions. A median household in major cities like Toronto and Vancouver would need to save over 20 years for just the down payment, more than 3x the historic average. Seems absurd? The outlandish scenario was apparently a part of everyone’s retirement plan, according to Canada’s government.

That’s according to statements made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in an interview with the Globe & Mail’s City Space podcast. “Housing needs to retain its value… It’s a huge part of people’s potential for retirement and future nest egg,” he explained when discussing affordability.

The statement is shocking. If the intention was to never lower home prices, what was with the tens of billions spent on improving affordability about? We’ve long argued many of the measures implemented were actually to reinforce prices, not lower them. But let’s look past all of that, and get to the most disturbing part of that sentence.

Defence industry, allies call for Canada to increase military investments

Canada’s announcement of an $11.2-billion contract to improve training platforms for the military is getting a lukewarm reception at the country’s largest defence trade show, as allies and military industry companies want to see more investment from the federal government.

Bill Blair detailed the contract, which includes the purchase of 70 training aircraft, in a keynote speech at the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries’ annual defence industry tradeshow (CANSEC) in Ottawa.

Trudeau’s Canada: Elderly Ontario woman living illegally in RV encampment as rents continue to rise

An unhoused woman almost a year into exile at a small RV encampment in Hamilton’s North End says she’s hopeful a permanent housing solution that fits her needs will arrive soon.

Heather Grant’s precarious life at the Barton-Tiffany brownfield continues after a dispute over plumbing with a landlord last June put her family into a tent at Woodlands Park then the recreational vehicle they currently reside in today.
