Trudeau’s trip to Alberta this week to announce $175 million in federal grants for housing starts probably did for federal credibility here (already at a low) what his 2018 Mr. Dressup Goes to Bollywood tour did for Canada-India relations.
Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Ottawa appeals court ruling that found use of Emergencies Act ‘unreasonable’
Ottawa has filed to appeal a Federal Court decision that found its invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to the 2022 “Freedom Convoy” protests was unjustified.
The government is asking the Federal Court of Appeal to overturn a January decision that found the government’s use of emergency law led to the infringement of constitutional rights.

Why Canada’s consensus on immigration is fraying
OTTAWA—Anti-immigration sentiment used to be politically taboo. Election after election, a majority of voters told party leaders they wanted more immigrants, not fewer. That vision of a Canada welcoming newcomers with open arms, however, is increasingly challenged. Unless governments address a growing perception that unbridled migration is making the country worse off, we may be walking towards a darker, more divisive path, one that makes us less wealthy in the long run.
This week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre signalled a large reduction in migration numbers will be part of his upcoming platform.
Most of the article is given over to that lying idiot Miller making his usual stupid statements.
Tent City Nation: Are Canada’s homeless encampments here to stay?
Gatineau, Que. – In the parking lot of the Robert Guertin Centre, an arena that once played host to the Gatineau Olympiques major junior hockey team, is a field of red ice-fishing tents.
Arranged in four neat rows and fenced around, the 48 tents are home to a community of homeless people enduring the snow, cold and freezing rain of winter in the National Capital Region. Eloe, a woman in her 30s with green hair, a septum ring, a leopard-print scarf and red bomber jacket, lives in a tent made from construction tarps, which forms part of a satellite community outside the fence.
The Trudeau government is making sure that homeless encampments will be with us for many years to come.
They continue to flood Canada with hundreds of thousands of immigrants overwhelming the nation’s capacity to build new housing.
It will take years to restore balance and will require they cease their mass immigration scam.
The government’s ‘national security’ claim for withholding documents from Parliament is exposed as a sham
Why did the government call an election in August, 2021, in the middle of a pandemic, just as Afghanistan was falling, and with more than two years left in its mandate? A good argument could be made that it was to shut down a Commons committee looking into the mysterious dismissal of two Chinese nationals from a top-secret Winnipeg research laboratory.
At the urging of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the two scientists – Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, head of vaccine development at the National Microbiology Laboratory, and her husband Keding Cheng – had their security clearance revoked and were escorted out of the facility by RCMP officers in July, 2019. They were fired in January, 2021.
Canada wavers on military exports to Israel under pressure from Hamas supporters to suspend shipments
Canada has stopped issuing export permits to companies looking to sell military equipment to Israel, according to one person familiar with the matter.
The source says that Mélanie Joly’s office has issued instructions to staff at Global Affairs Canada to delay issuing permits that are required for weapons, firearms and components that could have a military use.
There is no proof of the alleged IDF depredations. This is all about winning the Islamist vote.

Details withheld on fired ChiCom scientists to save health agency embarrassment, MPs say
A special committee of MPs tasked with evaluating censored records on the firing of two scientists from Canada’s top infectious disease laboratory – researchers who worked with China – says most of the information redacted from Public Health Agency of Canada documents appears to have been withheld to shield the organization from embarrassment rather than to protect national security.
The committee is recommending the majority of the documents be made public, according to a Feb. 19 letter, obtained by The Globe and Mail, that was sent to House leaders of the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP and Bloc Québécois.
MPs choose not to condemn church fires
A call to condemn the most recent arson attack on a Christian church — Feb. 9 at Blessed Sacrament Church in downtown Regina — failed to gain unanimous approval in the House of Commons.
On Feb. 12, Conservative MP Corey Tochor called for unanimous consent to condemn the arson at Blessed Sacrament. Members of the Liberal-NDP governing coalition responded with “no.” Speaker of the House of Commons Greg Fergus quickly stated, “there is no unanimous consent.”
GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau’s own words on scandals come back to haunt him
Of all of Justin Trudeau’s tweets on what we now call ‘X’ that haven’t aged well, his observation on October 17, 2013 that, “It’s hard not to feel disappointed in your government when every day there is a new scandal” has aged the worst.
Poilievre’s support continues to rise as fewer think Trudeau should be leader, new Nanos surveys find
Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives have increased their support as the party Canadians would vote for and the Liberals are at a statistical tie with the New Democrats, according to the latest Nanos Research ballot tracking, which measures popular support for the major federal parties.
Poilievre’s personal numbers continue to trend sharply upwards while his party saw a 17-point advantage over the federal Liberals in the new Nanos tracking.

As cost-of-living crisis deepens, Liberals spend $1.3 million on three ‘affordability retreats’
OTTAWA — The Trudeau cabinet has spent more than $1 million on retreats focused on attempting to get a grip on Canada’s affordability crisis.
The Liberal ministers held three multi-day meetings in Charlottetown, P.E.I., Vancouver, and Hamilton, Ont., between September 2022 and August 2023. The tally has reached $1,325,233.84, according to expense disclosures and access-to-information requests.
Trudeau should ‘look into his own heart and ask himself why he was such a hateful racist,’ Poilievre says
Asked about online harms bill, Poilievre raises Trudeau’s past use of blackface
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday his party is vehemently opposed to the government’s forthcoming online harms legislation, a bill designed to combat hate speech, terrorist content and some violent material on the internet.
Saying he won’t accept “Justin Trudeau’s woke authoritarian agenda,” Poilievre said the prime minister and his government shouldn’t be deciding what constitutes “hate speech” online and called the legislation an “attack on freedom of expression.”
GUNTER: Trudeau Liberals have become an obstacle to world investment
The world wants to invest in Canada.
We have abundant natural resources and a young and educated workforce. Infrastructure is decent enough to ensure the timely flow of goods. And when there is a dispute between signatories in a contract, the courts are predictable, equitable and honest.
Kelly McParland: As their party starts to crack, Liberals look the other way
Rob Oliphant seems an unlikely candidate to serve as a fiery, chest-thumping rebel, chronic troublemaker or ego on legs searching out microphones and cameras he can spout off to.
A Liberal loyalist since youth, he has party credentials reaching back to the first Trudeau regime almost 50 years ago. He served in several capacities for David Peterson’s Ontario government, has worked on more Liberal campaigns than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made promises and was tasked with important roles by former leaders Stéphane Dion and Michael Ignatieff. In 2019, Trudeau appointed him parliamentary secretary to the minister of foreign affairs, a post he still holds.
It’s ‘obvious’ that rules weren’t followed with ArriveCan development, Trudeau says
VANCOUVER – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it’s “obvious” contracting rules weren’t followed during the development of the controversial ArriveCan app.
Trudeau says the app was developed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic when everything was in question, but there is still a need to follow rules even in difficult times.
He says investigations are ongoing and there will be consequences for instances in which public servants did not abide by the rules.
