Trudeau government paying $84M to firm employing Katie Telford’s husband to manage rent assistance aid program

OTTAWA – The Trudeau government is paying up to $84 million to a company that employs Chief of Staff Katie Telford’s husband as a senior executive to administer its COVID-19 emergency commercial rent assistance program for small businesses.

Due to the ties between Telford and her husband, Robert Silver, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) assures that their chief of staff has recused herself from any decisions that may involve MCAP, Silver’s employer.

Sleaze thrives when Liberals are power.

As AUKUS looks to collaborate with other allies, why is Canada not mentioned?

Canada has once again found itself on the outside looking in after some of its closest allies — the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia — announced the next phase of their new AUKUS security pact this week.

AUKUS, formed by the three countries in 2021, is part of efforts to push back against China’s growing power in the Indo-Pacific region by focusing on military modernization through new technologies. The trio announced Monday it will begin consultations this year on collaborating with “prospective partners” around the world as part of its second phase, specifically mentioning Japan as an ally it is considering working with.

I suspect our allies no longer trust Canada, perhaps Justin should ask China to put in a good word for us.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Don’t be fooled, Trudeau doesn’t care about defence

On Monday, the day of the total solar eclipse, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau donned a pair of blackout glasses. Not to stare at the sun, but to avoid seeing what is right in front of him: his abject failure to rebuild Canada’s armed forces.

Canadians Pay Higher Income Tax Than Workers in Most Other OECD Countries: Report

Canadians at all levels of income pay more tax than residents in most other OECD countries around the world, according to a new report.

The study, “Canada’s Rising Personal Tax Rates and Falling Tax Competitiveness,” published by the Fraser Institute, said personal income tax rate increases at both the federal and provincial levels have made Canada less competitive compared with other countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Mark Carney offers a preview of what he’d look like as Justin Trudeau’s successor — and what he’d stand for

Mark Carney has joined the chorus of voices asking Justin Trudeau to call a first ministers’ meeting on climate change and the carbon levy.

Carney, often touted as a possible successor to Trudeau, threw down the request during an evening speech in Ottawa on Monday, framed as a manifesto of sorts on where the former bank governor stands on the big issues of the day.

PM’s six-day Indo-Pacific trip cost $2M, including $200K in catering

The prime minister’s six-day trip, accompanied by his son, to “strengthen ties” in the Indo-Pacific region in September cost taxpayers nearly $2 million, with nearly $200,000 spent on in-flight catering.

PM didn’t accept CSIS warnings about MP Dong and possible Chinese interference in Don Valley North riding in 2019

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accepted the advice of his campaign manager in the 2019 election that no action should be taken against Liberal Han Dong despite concerns raised by Canada’s spy service about possible China-directed interference activities, the public inquiry into foreign meddling heard Tuesday.

The Foreign Interference Commission has heard testimony that CSIS provided a classified briefing in Sept. 28, 2019, to Liberal Party officials, who received national-security clearances, about alleged irregularities in the Don Valley North nomination that Mr. Dong won.

No surprise Trudeau works for China.

Tom Mulcair: Super Trudeau’s pre-budget tour is about saving himself

Before Justin Trudeau entered ‘costume rehab,’ he used to get dressed up pretty often. From his brown- and blackface(opens in a new tab) episodes during his teaching and high school years, to the traditional apparel his whole family wore on a botched trip to India(opens in a new tab) in 2018, our prime minister had a hankering to wow us with his disguises.

He even had a second campaign plane(opens in a new tab) during the 2019 federal election to carry cargo, and then Conservative leader Andrew Scheer didn’t miss the chance to ridicule Trudeau for needing another plane to carry all his “props and costumes.”

Freeland doesn’t rule out new taxes on wealthy or corporate Canada in upcoming budget

OTTAWA – Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has ruled out raising taxes on the middle class in the upcoming federal budget — but won’t say if corporations or the wealthy are in for the same treatment.

Freeland pointedly did not answer Tuesday when asked during a news conference about the prospect of new taxes on corporate Canada or others not part of the middle class.

Money just grows on trees in Liberal Land.

HARRIS: Conservative leaders must stop promoting climate scare

At the Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference this week in Ottawa, grassroots conservatives must insist that party leaders stop supporting the climate scare. It is not enough to “axe the tax” or “spike the hike,” as Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) Leader Pierre Poilievre, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and other provincial leaders demand. The “carbon tax” is merely a symptom of the climate change disease threatening Canada’s prosperity and energy security.

Liberal government to launch $500M fund for youth mental health

Ottawa is setting up a $500-million fund to help community health organizations provide more mental health care to young people.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland made the announcement Tuesday in Ottawa alongside other cabinet ministers, including Ya’ara Saks, the minister of mental health and addictions.

“Many Canadians right now are facing stress and anxiety due to war, geopolitical unrest, climate change, and financial strains,” Saks said.

What happened to Canadian kids in WW II did they all throw themselves off a cliff?

Poilievre wants Trudeau to have carbon price meeting on TV with premiers

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to have a “publicly televised” meeting with the premiers to talk about the carbon price increase.

“I think he’s too scared,” Poilievre said Monday morning when asked if he thinks Trudeau would meet with the premiers on TV.

Prime Minister’s Office received 34 briefings on foreign interference since 2018, CSIS says

A top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service briefing prepared for the Prime Minister’s Office in February last year said Beijing had “clandestinely and deceptively interfered in both the 2019 and 2021 general elections.”

The classified document, dated Feb. 21, 2023, was drafted in response to media stories, including one in The Globe and Mail, that outlined a sophisticated campaign by China and its proxies to interfere in the 2021 election. The document was made public on Monday, when it was tabled at the Commission of Inquiry into Foreign Interference.

I can’t help but notice that few bother to comment on posts about the Liberal Party’s corrupt relationship with the PRC.

Personally I am resigned to the fact that nothing will change regardless of the commission’s findings which I suspect is the reason for the lack of interest from readers.

Our political class looks after their own.

No one will be charged, no one will go to jail and no one will lose their job.

Leaving Canada is becoming a serious consideration.

Anthony Furey: Sadly, the Housing Crisis in Canada Isn’t on Track to Get Any Better

One of the most dominant topics in both the Canadian news media and politics is housing. The news features come out on a daily basis. Politicians at all levels of government voice their concerns and make announcements. Some of these announcements come with major cash infusions towards housing initiatives.

The consensus is broad and clear: Housing is too costly. There are too few units being built. The problem needs to be tackled with an all-hands-on-deck approach.

Canada needs more soldiers. Here’s how it plans to recruit them

OTTAWA — Canada aims to grow its military to 71,500 regular members over the next eight years by addressing long-standing recruitment and retention problems, according to an updated defence policy announced Monday.

The new strategy builds on several recently announced policies that softened the Canadian Armed Forces’ eligibility requirements, adding new funding for military housing, child care, and efforts to digitize services and increase the number of civilian specialists, although most of that funding will come more than five years down the line.

No mention of being so woke they’ve driven away their most reliable source of recruits.
