CSIS briefing for PMO in 2023 says China interfered in both 2019 and 2021 elections, inquiry told

A top secret CSIS briefing prepared for the Prime Minister’s Office in February 2023 last year, following leaks to the media about Chinese meddling, said Beijing “clandestinely and deceptively interfered in both the 2019 and 2021 general elections.”

The classified document, dated Feb. 21, 2023, was tabled at the Commission of Inquiry into Foreign Interference in response to media stories including one in The Globe and Mail that outlined a sophisticated campaign by People’s Republic of China (PRC) and its proxies to interfere in the 2021 election.

Canada exploring possibility of joining AUKUS alliance, Trudeau says

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada is exploring the possibility of joining the second phase of AUKUS, a U.S.-led alliance with the United Kingdom and Australia.

The initial pillar of the alliance, forged in 2021, was focused on developing nuclear-powered submarines for Australia.

Trudeau says Canada will consider whether it needs to purchase nuclear-powered submarines to better ensure it can defend Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic.

Bullshit, nothing but electioneering.

Conrad Black: Canadians Have a Right to Know the Scope of Chinese Interference in Our Affairs

The slowly emerging proportions of the interference by the People’s Republic of China in Canadian elections does not justify concern that illicit interference materially changed the result of the two general elections in 2019 and 2021 in which China is alleged to have intervened on behalf of a number of Liberal and Conservative candidates.

John Ivison: The new Liberal defence policy’s in no hurry to face dangerous global realities

For many years, there was no political payback for increasing defence expenditure, so governments in Ottawa didn’t bother.

But recent polls suggest voters are sufficiently spooked by events in Ukraine and the Middle East, not to mention by the prospect of Donald Trump’s return to the White House, to urge Ottawa to start taking defence seriously again.

Richard Marceau: Why we’re taking the federal government to court over UNRWA funding

On April 4, Canadian families of Hamas victims and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) launched a legal challenge of the federal government’s decision to resume funding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), following revelations that some of its staff provided material support for the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel.

Why Justin Trudeau is turning against immigration – He’s in a desperate position

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in a state of desperation. His minority Liberal government has been polling behind Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives for the better part of two years. They’re down in most opinion polls by 15 to 18 points, and only have the support of 23 to 26 per cent of the Canadian electorate. His left-leaning policies have turned off many Canadians, including fellow Liberals. His standing in the international community barely has a pulse. His personal popularity numbers continue to plummet.

How is Trudeau still in power? Because he signed a three-year work-and-supply agreement with Jagmeet Singh’s New Democrats – who are also struggling mightily in the polls – that doesn’t expire until June 2025. Without this, his goose would have been cooked.

Liberal Party created housing crisis is now hurting our labour market

Liberal Party housing initiative.

There are so many downsides to the untenable prices in the Canadian housing market that it’s hard to keep up. But to add another one to the list: The negative effect on mobility, including the ability of people to move for work.

Prohibitively expensive home prices, high interest rates and increasing rents are the antithesis to the movement of people. Many are stuck in this constipated housing market. If you have anything close to a decent spot, you’re not going anywhere. It’s a big part of what’s gumming up the system.

Trudeau government announces billions more for the military — but still won’t meet NATO’s spending target

OTTAWA—Canada will raise military spending by more than $8 billion over the next five years under a revamped military strategy that still won’t hit NATO targets, but that the Trudeau government is pitching as a roadmap to ensure the military meets a “complex generational challenge.”

Entitled Our North, Strong and Free, the policy plan pledges to ramp up annual spending until the additional injection reaches about $1.9 billion in the fifth year, and commits $73 billion in new money over the next two decades to buy new gear and boost Canadian Forces recruitment to allow it to confront security challenges posed by climate change in the Arctic and more aggressive authoritarian regimes around the world.

Usual hot air. Climate Change! Climate Change! Climate Change! Transvestite Climate Change!

Trudeau government created housing crisis poised to worsen without major reforms, RBC report says

Canada’s housing affordability crisis will hit even more alarming levels in the coming years without a bold set of policy reforms to boost supply, the economics department at Royal Bank of Canada said Monday in a report.

The country needs to complete roughly 320,000 housing units annually from now until 2030, simply to meet the new demand that will arise over that period, according to RBC estimates. This would amount to an increase of nearly 50 per cent from recent completion levels – and it would require a record pace of construction.

If anything, Canada is moving in the wrong direction. There were around 240,000 housing unit starts in 2023, down from roughly 271,000 in 2021, according to figures from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. This doesn’t bode well for completions over the rest of the decade.

In the past few weeks the Liberals have been on blast about their many housing initiatives as if that was going to solve the crisis they created.

All of their grandiose declarations amount to a drop in the bucket.

It’s all bullshit all the time from the Liberals.

Deluge of federal pre-budget announcements draws fire from opposition, premiers

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to face resistance from the Conservative opposition and some provincial leaders as time ticks down to the federal budget on April 16.

In a letter to the prime minister released on Sunday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre again articulated his critique of the government’s handling of a range of issues — from housing, to the carbon tax, to the economy more generally.

MacDougall: Spend, then spend some more, won’t save Trudeau

At this rate, all Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has left to do on April 16 is rise in the House of Commons, point to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and say “ditto.” That’s how quickly the prime minister is pulling rabbits out of her (supposed) budget-day hat.

There’s been the $15 billion top-up to the Apartment Loan Construction Program; the $6 billion for infrastructure related to housing; another $1.5 billion for the rental protection fund; and a $400 million boost for the Housing Accelerator Fund. All announced before budget day.

Trudeau campaign announces billions to build Canada’s AI capacity with your money

The Liberal government is setting aside $2.4 billion in the upcoming budget to build capacity in artificial intelligence.

The bulk of that — $2 billion worth — is going into a fund that will aim to provide access to computing capabilities and technical infrastructure.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement in Montreal today as part of his government’s pre-budget tour.

This is campaigning on our money.

Why Pierre Poilievre’s over-the-top attacks on Justin Trudeau are bad for the country

There’s been some criticism of Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre because he hasn’t given Canadians much detail about what policies he would adopt to make things better in Canada if he were elected prime minister.

It appears those critics have missed the point. Things will obviously be better if he’s PM because Justin Trudeau won’t be. That is the entirety of Pierre Poilievre’s argument to the Canadian people.

Works for me.
