Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
The secret shrug on foreign interference
“With CSIS, everything’s a big secret,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford once said about a 2022 briefing his government received about Chinese interference.
It seemed funny at the time, because of course Canada’s spy agency is secretive. But when you hear the way federal officials failed to pass on useful information of foreign election interference to political parties during the 2021 election campaign, you can see the problem.
Anthony Furey: Don’t Expect Fiscal Restraint in the Upcoming Budget
The freebies are already pouring forth from the Trudeau government in the lead up to the April 14 federal budget announcement. So far their pre-announcements include free contraceptives and more free child care, but expect more giveaways over the next couple of weeks as the Liberals do all they can to try and woo voters back.
What we shouldn’t expect though are any signs of fiscal restraint from what could be described as Trudeau’s “desperation budget,” given his dreadful showing in the polls.

Justin Trudeau: Today I’m against everything I did that made you mad yesterday. Trust me. How are my poll numbers?
Justin Trudeau: immigration into Canada is far too high
Temporary immigration is too high and putting undue pressure on Canadians, Justin Trudeau has claimed.
“Over the past few years we’ve seen a massive spike in temporary immigration,” the Canadian Prime Minister told an audience on Tuesday. “Whether it’s temporary foreign workers, or whether it’s international students in particular that have grown at a rate that’s far beyond what Canada has been able to absorb.”
Trudeau started flooding the country with immigrants as soon as he was elected.
He called anyone who raised objections a racist and white supremacist.
Now suddenly he admits his own mass immigration policy has failed!!!
Yes indeed, immigration to Canada “has grown at a rate… pic.twitter.com/KWgvU8BFAN

Former Conservative leader alleges Communist Chinese interference may have played a part in his ouster
Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole believes foreign interference may have led to his removal as party leader, according to documents tabled before the foreign interference inquiry.
In a document containing notes from an interview between O’Toole and lawyers acting for the Foreign Interference Commission earlier this year, O’Toole is quoted as saying he was suspicious about the motives of the person behind the petition that called for a leadership review following the 2021 election.
Influx of Asylum Seekers Surprises Canada and Cities Bear the Cost
Canadian cities are being overwhelmed by a record surge of newcomers seeking asylum, straining their budgets and pushing temporary shelters beyond their limits.
In Peel, a suburban region in greater Toronto, the shelter system is running at 300% of capacity, with asylum-seekers occupying more than 70% of the beds and many more camping on the streets, according to Patrick Brown, the mayor of Brampton, Ontario.
Canada’s biosecurity scandal: the risks of foreign interference in life sciences
In July 2019, world-renowned biological researchers Xiangguo Qiu and Keding Cheng were quietly walked out of the Canadian government’s National Microbiology Lab (NML). The original allegation against them was that Qiu had authorised a shipment to China of some of the deadliest viruses on the planet, including Ebola and Nipah.
Qiu and Cheng, a married couple, subsequently lost their security clearances and were then fired by the NML in January 2021. At the time, both were subject to investigations by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canadian Secret Intelligence Service (CSIS). The NML said both had lost their positions for ‘breaches of policy’; it did not say what those breaches or policies had been.
Then the story seemed to go away—until now.
Joe Roberts: From Israelis to the Kurds, Canada abandons its friends on the world stage
The Trudeau government’s message to our Middle Eastern allies is clear: Canada is a fair weather friend. Stand with us at your peril, because when you’re in the crosshairs, we’ll be too busy polishing our image and playing domestic politics to notice your plight.
Canada made a mockery of not one, but two Middle Eastern allies in the same week — Israel publicly, and the Iraqi Kurds quietly. Make no mistake: the damage we are doing to our friends in the region is catastrophic.
Majority of Canadians Say Federal Government on ‘Wrong Track’ to Help Middle-Class: Survey Report
Middle-class Canadians are tired of the rising cost of living and the “high tax burden” placed upon them, according to in-house Privy Council research. Focus groups from across the country told pollsters the federal government has failed to address the issues most important to Canadians.
“Discussing additional measures that could be taken by the federal government to assist the middle class, participants suggested actions such as lowering taxes for middle-class households and increasing the range of benefits and supports available within Canada,” reads the pollsters’ analysis, which was first obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
Compulsive Liar Trudeau fails to acknowledge he created the mass immigration mess now says temporary immigration needs to be brought ‘under control’
Trudeau says temporary immigration needs to be brought ‘under control’
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government wants to rein in the number of temporary immigrants coming to the country, saying the situation needs to be brought “under control.”
“Whether it’s temporary foreign workers or whether it’s international students in particular, that have grown at a rate far beyond what Canada has been able to absorb,” Trudeau said at a housing announcement in Dartmouth, N.S.
“To give an example, in 2017, two per cent of Canada’s population was made up of temporary immigrants. Now we’re at 7.5 per cent of our population comprised of temporary immigrants. That’s something we need to get back under control.”
He’s lying. The numbers bandied about are a drop in the bucket and will make little to no impact.
Trudeau and the LPC are running scared having wreaked generational economic harm on Canada’s young and old.
People will never be able to afford a home, many are unable to afford rent.
Trudeau did this through the most cruel mass immigration scam ever inflicted on a western nation.
It’s not immigration, it’s replacement.
Carson Jerema: Economists’ open letter oblivious to carbon tax realities
The suggestion that hundreds of economists could put out a letter endorsing the federal government’s signature climate policy, the carbon tax, without it being perceived as political is incredibly precious. Although Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are not directly named, they are the clear targets of the letter, which was released last week. Hardly apolitical, the stunt, and the 340-plus economists who have so far signed on to it, are deserving of nothing more than a massive eye roll.
MP Dong Admits Knowing a Bus Was Organized to Bring International Students to Nomination Contest in His Riding
MP Han Dong has admitted that he was made aware that a bus had been organized by a private school to bring international students to vote in the Liberal Party nomination contest in 2019, in which he was a candidate. The admission was mentioned by counsel at the foreign interference inquiry in Ottawa on April 2.
Referring to a statement of evidence to be presented later, commission counsel Kate McGrann said Mr. Dong knew “that international students attending a private high school and living in a residence at Seneca College voted in the 2019 Don Valley North nomination.”
Tasha Kheiriddin: Liberals’ blind opposition to LNG is making us poorer and less safe
“Not interested.” Those are the words of Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, when asked whether the federal government would subsidize future liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. “We are not interested in investing in LNG facilities,” retorted Wilkinson. “That’s the role of the private sector. They need to assess the business case and make the investments.”
Douglas Todd: Canada’s tough-talking immigration minister making headlines, but how much is spin?
It’s rare when a politician criticizes the record of his own party, but that’s the approach Immigration Minister Marc Miller has been adopting.
The teenage friend of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has become quotable as he goes after the “perverse effects” and “lack of integrity” in the migration system that his Liberal predecessors — John McCallum, Ahmed Hussen, Marco Mendocino and Sean Fraser — built up upon gaining power nine years ago.
The Liberals race to win back younger generations that have left them in droves
Before the last federal election, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government spent billions to hand out a $500 precampaign bonus cheque to Old Age Security recipients and increased payments to those over 75.
That money is gone, but now the Liberals are finding their political problem is a completely different age group: the under-40s, who have abandoned the party in droves. Now Mr. Trudeau’s government is racing to offer them measures that will give them a little disposable income.
