When a member of a Fredericton synagogue that had been vandalized wrote to local Liberal MP Jenica Atwin to admonish her for not speaking out about it, she responded weeks later with a long letter about “the atrocities in Palestine” and how dedicated she was to helping Gaza.
Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Michael Higgins: Affordability fuels Canadian anger — not conspiracy theories
Faced with uncomfortable truths, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau often evades or misleads. Confronted recently about why Canadians are angry, Trudeau blamed wedge issues, conspiracy theories and the “right.” Such deflection will do little to quell the anger — but it does highlight how out of touch the prime minister is with the lives of Canadians.
A disturbing new Leger poll for Postmedia paints a grim picture of the emotional state of the country, and indicates why Canadians feel so livid and bleak.
Trudeau’s Generational Harm: Average asking rent prices reach $2,193 in February, up 10.5% from 2023
A new report says the average asking price for a rental unit in Canada was $2,193 per month in February, marking a 10.5 per cent jump year-over-year and the fastest annual growth since September 2023.
The data released Monday by Rentals.ca and Urbanation, which analyzes monthly listings from the former’s network, shows the average monthly cost of a one-bedroom unit in February was $1,920, up 12.9 per cent from the same month in 2023. The average asking price for a two-bedroom was $2,293, up 11.3 per cent annually.
‘Government gone overboard’: Experts concerned by Ottawa’s attempts to rein in hate speech
OTTAWA — Some of the Liberal government’s proposed efforts to crack down on hate speech and hateful conduct has some experts wondering whether Ottawa has gone too far in introducing legislation that was initially meant to address dangerous content on social media.
Last week, Justice Minister Arif Virani introduced Bill C-63, a sweeping piece of legislation largely aimed at regulating how social media platforms should respond to harmful content online. That part of the legislation, the Online Harms Act, would focus on egregious content that targets youth, disseminates intimate images without consent, promotes hatred, or incites violence, terrorism or violent extremism.
How Canada became a cauldron of authoritarianism
It seems Justin Trudeau isn’t only a dick – he also gets his ideas from one. Philip K Dick, to be precise. Trudeau’s government has proposed a new law that would give judges the power to put an individual under house arrest if they fear he might commit a hate crime. That’s right – might. It’s right out of The Minority Report, Dick’s 1956 dystopian tale of a future America in which a ‘Precrime’ police division uses intelligence from mutants known as ‘precogs’ to arrest people before they’ve committed an offence. Welcome to woke Canada, where Dickian nightmares come true.
GUNTER: Feds throwing up roadblocks to hide the truth
Here is the funniest thing said by any MP on Parliament Hill this week: “We share the outrage on foreign interference. We know this is an issue. This is a challenge we have to address.”
The hilarious speaker was Iqra Khalid, the Liberal MP for Mississauga-Erin Mills, whose declaration came just after Liberal and NDP members had voted together to shut down a Commons ethics probe into how two Public Health Agency of Canada scientists, Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Kedie Cheng, came to pass some of this country’s most sensitive secrets to Communist China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA).
A Leadership Race During The Israel-Hamas War Could Lead To An Islamist Takeover Of The Liberal Party … not that you could tell the difference
Before Liberals can replace Trudeau, they would have to reckon with Gaza
If the race to succeed Trudeau takes place while Israel is bombing Gaza, would-be leaders would be under intense pressure to appeal to voters who want Canada to push for a ceasefire. A leadership race dominated by an emotional conflict over the Middle East policy could leave the Liberals in a worse situation than they are now.
… Privately, Liberals are worried that the party could be swamped by new members who are only interested in that issue.
“They’re ripe for takeover if somebody’s got enough people who are motivated to do it,” said one veteran organizer, speaking frankly off the record.
The Islamist takeover is already near complete as support for Israel is an inch deep at best in the LPC and is professed with as much sincerity as a fake graves or stolen land acknowledgment.
The decision to fund UNRWA was Trudeau electioneering on the public dime to curry favour with the Hamas vote bloc.
Justin Trudeau, am I guilty of pre-crime?
Tim Berners-Lee, the man who invented the internet, intended it to be a place for everyone. But now the web is being used to undermine democracy and free speech. It has become a tool for the powerful to suppress dissent. ‘That feeling of individual control, that empowerment, is something we’ve lost,’ Berners-Lee told Vanity Fair in 2018. Today, not only do corporations like Google and Meta dictate what we see online, but, in places like Canada, the government is quickly making itself the gatekeeper.
What happens when a provincial government defies a federal law? We’re about to find out
When Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault suggested it was “immoral” for the government of Saskatchewan to deliberately defy the federal carbon pricing law, the allegations of hypocrisy followed quickly.
Had Guilbeault himself not been arrested for breaking the law? Hadn’t he proudly climbed the CN Tower in 2001 to protest Canadian climate policy?
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre posted a picture of Guilbeault being taken into custody by police in 2011 and later asserted that what was really “immoral” was the Liberal government increasing the carbon tax while also flying to international summits.
‘This is a red alert’: Byelection result has Trudeau Liberals looking nervously toward the next campaign
OTTAWA — The terrible showing by the federal Liberals in the Durham byelection won by the Conservatives demonstrates how much work lies ahead for the Trudeau-led party to motivate its flagging base, if it even can.
Byelections are often sloughed off as no reflection of anything other than voter disinterest in byelections. Unless a political party manages a surprise win.
Still, the loss in Durham stung not because the Liberals expected to win. They didn’t.
Michael Higgins: Trudeau escapes accountability by pathologically giving non-answers
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a news conference Thursday to respond to questions, but he didn’t provide any answers.
Trudeau deflected a series of questions concerning everything from the appalling $100 million fiasco that is the ArriveCan app, to Canada’s funding for the troubled and possibly terrorist-infiltrated United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza, to the lack of support and cash for the armed forces.
Excited by Justin Trudeau’s pharmacare plan? Don’t get your hopes up
The NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh describes it as “historic.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talks about “moving forward with national, single-payer pharmacare.”
But for those who view the Liberals’ new legislation as the baby steps toward a plan that covers all — regardless of income or status — with life-saving medicines, the bill should come with a warning label: “Don’t get your hopes up.”
Trudeau government brags about hiring more bureaucrats
Great news this morning: thanks to the hard work of Canadians, 41,000 new jobs were created last month! Double the market expectations.

Public sector hiring is driving the labour market in Canada
Employment gains in the public sector more than offset losses among Canadian businesses last month, highlighting a labour market that has been propped up by government hiring.
In February, public-sector roles rose by 18,800 positions, while the private sector lost 16,400 jobs, Statistics Canada data showed. Over the past year, employment in the public sector has grown 4.7 per cent, versus 1.2 per cent in private industry.
“If you look at how the private sector’s trending, it’s sharply decelerating,” Beata Caranci, chief economist at Toronto-Dominion Bank, said in a phone interview. “That’s tied to the interest rate cycle, not the government hiring that’s tied to specific funds and social policy.”
Pierre Poilievre accuses corporate Canada of ‘sucking up’ to Trudeau’s government
OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is accusing corporate Canada — including natural resources companies and housing developers — of “sucking up” to the Liberals and is urging them to actively campaign against the government.
The audience for his latest salvo at the corporate sector was the sector itself, a Greater Vancouver Board of Trade breakfast, which Poilievre acknowledged isn’t the kind of crowd he talks to that often.
He told a room of business leaders and numerous Conservatives that his affection for the business world lies with the entrepreneurs who risk it all to make a living — not the lobbyists or CEOs who only focus on what’s best for themselves.
SHOCKA! Islamist Vote Whore Trudeau will resume funding Hamas via UNRWA
The Canadian government has confirmed it will restore funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.
International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen confirmed the move at a press conference Friday in Mississauga, Ont.
Canada suspended funding to UNRWA in January after Israel alleged 12 employees of the aid agency were involved in some capacity in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
What a sleazebag.
