School closures may not have been necessary to prevent spread of COVID-19, researchers at McMaster find

An “extensive,” two-year review of COVID-19 in schools and daycares has revealed that these settings were not a significant source of transmission of the virus when infection prevention and control measures were used, researchers at McMaster University have found.

The review was published Thursday in The Lancet Child and Adolescent Health and examined more than 34,000 references, including databases, websites, and studies, related to transmission in child-care settings and schools across the globe.

Pierre Poilievre: Justin Trudeau rewards NIMBY gatekeepers

Canadians are living through a housing hell. Since Justin Trudeau became Prime Minister, rent and mortgage costs have doubled. Rents have reached a record-high average of $2,196 a month. It now takes 25 years for the average Toronto family to save up for a down payment. Before Trudeau, you could pay off an entire mortgage in that time. Over the past year, the cost to rent an apartment with a roommate jumped by 18.5 per cent, making it more expensive than living alone when Trudeau was first elected.

Is it time for the Liberals and NDP to break up?

The deal between Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and Jagmeet Singh’s New Democrats has already lasted longer than most minority governments in Canadian history.

Within a matter of days, that deal will either collapse or carry on — depending on whether the two sides can come to some kind of agreement to bring pharmacare to Canada.

Two questions hang over that fork in the road for the two parties. Can the deal last? Beyond that, though, should the deal continue?

Is it possible for the NDP to steal Liberal seats next election?

Would that possibility be aided by keeping this sorry alliance together thus earning goodwill from LPC voters looking for a new home?

Both Trudeau and Singh are preening virtue signalers with grating personalities. Canada has had enough of both.

It’s hard not to think that the Liberals have given up

Ascension day.

There’s a heartbreaking scene near the end of the First World War movie “Gallipoli” in which Australian soldiers are preparing to get out of their trenches and charge the Turkish machine guns. They’re writing letters home and leaving their watches behind because they know they’re about to die. Most have a blank, resigned expression on their faces.

I wonder if the Trudeau Liberals reached their Gallipoli moment this week. Judging by Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan’s demeanour as he was sent out to meet a barrage of fire from reporters on the government’s latest tweaks to its climate policy, the answer may well be yes.

‘Gloves truly off now’: The fight among college presidents over international students is getting ugly

As soon as Canada announced it would cap the number of international students here, experts anticipated a dogfight among Ontario colleges for the limited new study permits for the province.

One prediction was that the colleges would throw Kitchener-based Conestoga College — the school with the most international students in the country — “under the bus.”

This week, disputes have boiled over in full public display, with two college presidents lashing out at one another.

Ottawa Handing 10-Year, $2 Billion Tax Break to Battery Makers, Records Show

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is handing a 10-year tax holiday worth $2.1 billion to electric auto battery manufacturers, government documents show.
Government amendments to Income Tax Act regulations grant the decade-long tax waiver to battery factories on top of the billions in subsidies they are already receiving.

“The cost of foregone federal tax revenue associated with the regulatory amendment is estimated to be about $2.1 billion over 10 years starting in 2024,” reads a Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement first obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.

Trudeau downplays Liberal divisions on Israel-Hamas war, NDP calls for firmer stance

OTTAWA – Diverse views in the Liberal party are a source of strength, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insisted Thursday as questions persisted about caucus discord over the government’s policy on the Israel-Hamas war.

“We have a large number of Muslim MPs. We have a large number of Jewish MPs,” Trudeau said at a news conference in Winnipeg.

“The kinds of conversations that go on within our party are not always easy, but they reflect the diversity of conversations happening across the country.”

Junior has already picked a side. Ask Amira.

GOLDSTEIN: The clock is ticking down on Trudeau

Time is rapidly running out for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to decide whether he’s going to lead the Liberals into the next federal election.

Assuming the Liberal/NDP accord holds, it has to be held on or before Oct. 20, 2025 — 20 months away.

Junior is petty, vindictive and vain.

He will run out the clock even if he admits to himself that he has no chance of winning the next election. He simply enjoys making life as shitty as possible for Canadians.

His globalist sister is cut from the same cloth. People can’t afford homes but that troll gives a huge tax holiday to the LPC’s pals in the corporate welfare class.

Tom Mulcair: Can Trudeau turn things around, or will he pack it in before the next election?

Justin Trudeau is looking, and sounding, less and less engaged as he struggles through his ninth year in power.

Uniformly brutal numbers from every leading polling company reflect a widespread view from voters: they’re just tired of Trudeau’s Liberals.

He is nearly 20% behind Poilievre with less and less runway available to lift off into a potential new campaign.

SLOBODIAN: Multitudes incoming… got a spare bedroom?

Canadians first? That priority conflicts with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s immigration agenda impacting a country he didn’t help build but one he’ll continue to methodically debilitate until Canada is free of him.

The Liberals are ignoring opposition protests and sticking to dangerously high 2024 immigration quotas they set, as struggling Canadians increasingly worry about having a place to call home. And many don’t even have a home anymore.

COVID protective equipment makers sue Ottawa for $5B in damages

Canadian manufacturers of masks and other equipment for protecting against COVID-19 are seeking more than $5 billion in damages from the federal government, saying Ottawa misled them about buying and helping sell their products.

In a statement of claim filed in Federal Court, the companies and their industry association allege the government made “negligent misrepresentations” that prompted them to invest in personal protection equipment innovations, manufacturing and production.

Some Liberals get greedy on the kickbacks?

John Ivison: Warnings about too many international students were clear. The Liberals ignored them

Some days you’re the dog and some days you’re the tree.

Housing minister Sean Fraser must have had that arboreal feeling as he read a Canadian Press story that said as immigration minister he ignored warnings from his department that allowing foreign students to work more than 20 hours a week could lead to “program integrity” concerns.

In other words, there was a concern among officials that hundreds of thousands of foreign students could arrive in Canada to work in low-skilled jobs and do a little studying on the side while, in the meantime, driving up housing costs.

Liberals face political oblivion with Trudeau at the helm

More than a decade ago, Justin Trudeau took a dispirited, strife-torn, third-place Liberal Party and recreated it in his own image, winning election after election after election. There are few voices of dissent within the party because the voices who matter all matter because of him.

But the latest polls show the Liberals headed for, not just defeat, but decimation in the next federal election. Even the most die-hard Trudeau loyalist must be starting to wonder whether it’s time for a change at the top.

Anthony Furey: Guilbeault’s Talk of Halting Roads Investment Makes It Clear His Policies Can’t Be Taken Seriously

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has rightly been criticized for going overboard with climate activism zealotry, Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeauilt’s latest remarks on climate, electric vehicles, and public roads are on a totally different level.

As Calgary Herald columnist Don Braid put it, Guilbeault’s remarks are “so far out on the crazy edge of climate activism that it was easy to confuse his own Twitter account with the one that parodies him every day.”
