A tweak to the Elections Act the Liberals introduced this week could allow for about 80 MPs to qualify for a House of Commons pension.
Minister Dominic LeBlanc unveiled a suite of changes to the Elections Act on Wednesday, including expanded days for advance voting and an easier process for mail-in ballots, but it would also move the current proposed fixed election day from Oct. 20 to Oct. 27, 2025.

Justin Trudeau can look back at a number of important policy initiatives in his almost nine years in office. He has done plenty of popular redistribution — subsidizing child care, child benefits, dental care and a skeletal pharmacare program, all paid for by rising corporate and marginal personal tax rates and higher debt. He can also claim credit for recovery from the COVID recession, though he did it with over-the-top, inflationary deficits.
OTTAWA – For the first time, Canada will set targets for the number of new temporary resident arrivals to the country, Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced Thursday.
The federal government plans to decrease the number of temporary residents to five per cent of the population over the next three years, down from the current 6.2 per cent.
The first targets will be set in September.
Trudeau is intent on destroying Canada.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s controversial vacation to Jamaica last Christmas cost Canadian taxpayers far more than his trip to the same destination a year earlier, CBC News has learned.
According to the government’s answer to questions posed by Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer, tabled this week, Trudeau’s 10-day vacation with his family to Prospect Estate near Ocho Rios cost taxpayers $230,442, a 42 per cent increase over the $162,000 cost of a similar trip over the Christmas holidays in 2022-23.
Now he’ll have to raise the carbon tax!
Correcting the Trudeau government’s political spin defending its carbon tax is like playing whack-a-mole.
You deal with one nonsensical claim and another pops up.
OTTAWA—The federal government has referred three cases of suspected subcontractor fraud to the RCMP following an internal review that found nearly $5 million in illegitimate payments on federal contracts from 2018 to 2022.
“We need to do better when it comes to ensuring the integrity and the reputation of our procurement system,” Public Services and Procurement Minister Jean-Yves Duclos told reporters at a press conference Wednesday.
Ottawa should move to Haiti.
Canadians are confident when it comes to recognizing fake news online without help from the government, a survey shows, but they are not so sure when it comes to AI-generated content.
Results from federal focus groups found that “a number of participants express reservations about the government presenting itself as an ‘authority’ on disinformation.”
Ottawa plans to create Canadian citizenship path for undocumented immigrants
Ottawa is preparing to create a path to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of people who have lived and worked in Canada illegally for years, starting with construction workers, Immigration Minister Marc Miller says.
In an interview, Mr. Miller said he is preparing to create a “broad and comprehensive program” that would allow many without valid documents to apply for permanent residency. Among those included would be people who entered the country legally, as temporary workers or international students, and then remained here after their visas expired.
Because you just have to grant citizenship to people who break the law.
A secret RCMP report is warning the federal government that Canada may descend into civil unrest once citizens realize the hopelessness of their economic situation.
“The coming period of recession will … accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations,” reads the report, entitled Whole-of-Government Five-Year Trends for Canada.

As U.S. legislators race to disconnect the world’s most downloaded app and prevent TikTok’s massive American data from potentially feeding Chinese security agencies, Ottawa should demonstrate equal resolve.
Canada’s Bill C-34 — proposed legislation to prevent foreign investors from harbouring foreign intelligence services — is in its home stretch of Senate review, before going to the House of Commons for final discussions.
A noted fiscally conservative think tank warned that a proposed federal mandate from the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to ban the sale of new gasoline/diesel-only powered cars after 2035 and allow electric-only sales is an unrealistic fantasy that would cause massive chaos by threatening to collapse the nation’s power grids.
“Requiring all new vehicle sales in Canada to be electric in just 11 years means the provinces need to substantially increase their power generation capabilities, and adding the equivalent of 10 new mega-dams or 13 new gas plants in such a short timeline isn’t realistic or feasible,” said G. Cornelis van Kooten, a Fraser Institute senior fellow and author of “Failure to Charge: A Critical Look at Canada’s EV Policy.”
Quebec Liberal MP Anthony Housefather says he is “reflecting” on his future in the Liberal party after a heavily amended NDP motion on Palestinian statehood passed in the House of Commons on Monday.
Housefather was among three Liberals who voted against the final motion, which called only for progress towards a two-state solution instead of the recognition of a Palestinian state.
The other two, former public-safety minister Marco Mendicino and Manitoba MP Ben Carr, both say they are disappointed in how the 11th-hour amendment process went.
Watch Housefather describes how Trudeau visited his riding, assured Jewish constituents at a synagogue there would "be no daylight between the Liberal position on Israel with the Conservative position" Since Oct 7 Liberal wedge position is the NDP anti-Semitic one.."horrendous!" pic.twitter.com/EdNenfNGRx

In 2018, teen brothers Hudson and Jackson Forsyth-Beck started growing veggies in the front yard of their rental home in Squamish, B.C., selling pickles.
That turned into a busy farm stand over the years.
But now, their family is facing eviction. Their father Robert Forsyth posted a video in a Facebook group appealing for help to find a home — and freezer space — to save about 10,000 pounds of produce, pies and preserves.
