Second diaspora group pulls out of Xi Jinping’s rigged foreign-interference inquiry

The human-rights group Canadian Friends of Hong Kong says it won’t participate in Canada’s public inquiry into foreign interference, citing what it calls grave concerns about the standing granted to three politicians with alleged ties to the Chinese government.

In January, an organization representing Uyghur Canadians announced it was withdrawing from the public inquiry over the same matter. The refusals to participate threaten to undermine the commission’s ability to hear from all vulnerable communities facing persecution from China.

Nobody wants to have a beer with Justin Trudeau

If, as the cliché goes, political electability is about who voters want to sit down to have a beer with, then it is also about who they don’t want to sit down to have a beer with. And if we believe recent polling, it appears that voters really, really don’t want to sit down for a cold one with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Nor, it seems, do they want to share a $10 bottle of Kombucha with him. According to data from late last year, millennials are nearly twice as likely to vote for the federal Conservatives led by Pierre Poilievre than they are the Trudeau Liberals. What’s weirder is that Gen Z — a demographic that lists climate change as a primary reason for not bearing children — appears more likely to vote Conservative in the next federal election. Overall, the vast majority of Canadians want Trudeau to step down as Liberal leader.

It’s not just Trudeau people are fed up with all the LPC’s corrupt idiots for ruining Canada.

Obvious loser in ArriveCan scandal is Trudeau government

HALIFAX—Apart from the Canadian public, the obvious loser in the ArriveCan scandal is the Trudeau government.

After all, it takes a special kind of incompetence to turn an $80,000 project into a $60-million boondoggle of epic proportions.

Thanking the Auditor General for writing what could be your political epitaph isn’t fooling anyone. Neither is the promise to accept her recommendations. Or protestations that you are committed to handling taxpayers’ money responsibly. In the light of the AG’s findings, that is all nonsense.

EU farmers are protesting climate change regulations. Could Canadians join them?

In Poland, farmers pelted the European Union building with eggs.

In Belgium, hundreds of tractors blockaded one of the continent’s busiest ports.

“I’m a small farmer, I’m 18 years old, and I don’t know how life will turn out for me later on,” said Mattia Buzzone, a Sicilian farmer, at a protest in Rome, Italy.

Douglas Todd: Record population growth ‘massive problem’ for housing in B.C.

B.C. mayors say they can’t keep up with densification, which means rebuilding sewers, water lines, roads and more

The statisticians describe the unprecedented number of people streaming into B.C., while the province’s mayors explain how difficult and costly it is to try to house everyone.

A special housing meeting of the Union of B.C. Municipalities heard this week that B.C.’s population has jumped like never before — and that more than 600,000 new dwellings are needed just to get back to supply and demand ratios similar to a couple of decades ago.

How we thought we’d turn out vs how we will turn out.

Everything the Liberal party says it is doing to “solve” the housing crisis they created through their society destroying mass immigration program is a damn lie.

The Liberals have us so far up the creek it will take years to fix the housing crisis and this assumes they are willing to cut back on immigration. A lost generation of Canadians will never be able to own a home or be able to find affordable rental accomodation.

Will the government learn anything from the ArriveCan saga?

If Canadians feel angry reading the revelations last week about ArriveCan, they should

Auditor-General Karen Hogan’s report on the federal government’s app for travellers during COVID-19 comes on the heels of countless reviews and committee hearings, after The Globe’s reporting found that the app’s price tag had ballooned to at least $54-million.

Jack Mintz: ‘ArriveScam’ boondoggle demands government accountability

If I have a serious health problem, like a chest pain, who do I reach out to? A physician? A clinic? A hospital emergency department? Or do I take my chest pain to a consulting firm that has no medical expertise? It’s not a trick question: with your life on the line, you go to the best as quickly as possible.

Every Liberal government comes with pre-loaded graft.

Trudeau’s welcome mat for immigrants wears thin amid Canada housing crunch

OTTAWA, Feb 17 (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has relied on immigration to drive economic growth and plug labor gaps, but now he is hitting the brakes after a seismic shift in public opinion that could undermine his chances to win the next election.

It was Trudeau’s father, Pierre, who championed immigration as prime minister in the early 1970s, promoting “multiculturalism” as government policy. Over time, Canadians have come to see the country’s diversity as part of its identity, like the maple leaf and hockey.


“It was Trudeau’s father, Pierre, who championed immigration as prime minister in the early 1970s, promoting “multiculturalism” as government policy. Over time, Canadians have come to see the country’s diversity as part of its identity, like the maple leaf and hockey.”

This propaganda was swallowed by a gullible Canadian public who like the proverbial frog was slowly boiling to death before realizing too late that Canada had been irrevocably harmed by mass immigration and the nation destroying lies of multiculturalism and diversity. It was promoted by the political and corporate classes who view mass immigration as a means to serve their selfish ends at your expense.

Cory Morgan: Guilbeault’s Concern Isn’t Roads and Emissions; It’s About Restricting Individual Mobility

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault is desperately trying to recharacterize his own words since he let his mask slip with candid comments about road infrastructure and electric vehicles.

There is no getting around it. Guilbeault was pretty clear when he told attendees at a fundraising luncheon: “Our government has made the decision to stop investing in new road infrastructure. There will be no more envelopes from the federal government to enlarge the road network,” and “We can very well achieve our goals of economic, social, and human development without more enlargement of the road network.”

How else are we to interpret what the minister said?

Canadian Housing Supply Targets Don’t Make Sense, “Will Never Be Hit”: BMO

Canadian policymakers are sprinting across the country to rain cash to stimulate homebuilding. Unfortunately, it’s not working with new housing starts actually falling further from targets in January. BMO wrote to investors to explain this is predictable, since the targets were unrealistic and will never be hit. Partially due to the lack of resources available to build at that scale, but also the fact that homebuilders build for the market, not policymakers.
