The House of Cards Crumbles: Why the Bell Media Layoffs and Government’s Failed Media Policy are Connected

Bell’s announcement this week that it is laying off thousands of workers – including nearly 500 Bell Media employees – has sparked political outrage with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau characterizing it as a “garbage decision.” The job losses are obviously brutal for those directly affected and it would be silly to claim that a single policy response was responsible. Yet to suggest that the government’s media policy, particularly Bills C-11 and C-18, played no role is to ignore the reality of a failed approach for which there have been blinking warning signs for years. Indeed, Trudeau’s anger (which felt a bit like a reprise of his Meta comments over the summer) may partly reflect frustration that his policy choices have not only not worked, but have made matters worse.

Former MP Raj Grewal launches $50M lawsuit against RCMP, Ontario attorney general

A former Liberal MP has launched a $50-million lawsuit against the RCMP and Ontario attorney general, nearly a year after a judge dismissed charges that stemmed from the claim that he used his political office for personal gain.

The lawsuit, launched by former Brampton East MP Raj Grewal, accuses the national police service along with province’s chief law officer of wrongfully alleging he misused his political office for financial benefit.

Same government that supports child sexual mutilation wants to censor “online harms”

Experts urge federal government to pursue moderate, ‘judicious’ approach to harmful content online

Digital policy experts say the Liberal government should be restrained when it comes to formulating its promised legislation governing online harms.

In an interview on CBC Radio’s The House that aired Saturday, Emily Laidlaw, an associate professor at the University of Calgary, said the federal government faced a major challenge in crafting a bill that was technically viable and did not overstep itself.

“It’s really hard legislation to write,” Laidlaw, who holds the Canada research chair in cybersecurity law, told host Catherine Cullen.

Giant Foreign Aid Sinkhole Of Africa Is Mad Canada Isn’t Sending Enough Cash

Africa will ‘friend-zone’ Canada if Ottawa doesn’t improve engagement, experts say

OTTAWA – Canada is approaching total irrelevance in the world’s fastest-growing continent, experts argue, saying that a pattern of disengagement in trade, diplomacy and investment in Africa means Ottawa is ceding ground to Russia and China.

“Africa is going to friend-zone Canada if the current approach remains, because it’s lukewarm,” said Stanley Achonu, the Nigeria director for the One Campaign.

His organization, which fights extreme poverty and preventable diseases, testified this week at the Senate foreign-affairs committee, which is looking into Canada’s relations with a continent on track to almost double in population by 2050.

Africa is well known for its corruption and is a confirmed sinkhole of foreign aid funds.

Let China get ripped off for the next few decades Canada has done it’s share.

Conrad Black: Justin Trudeau’s debacle of misgovernment

This column has often lamented the decline of Canada’s competitive status as an economic and geopolitical power, and particularly our descent down the ladder of the world’s nations in per capita income. Everything that could be done in this very fortunate country to make our nation less prosperous and less influential in the world is being done. Capital leaving Canada that was generated in this country has exceeded investment capital entering from outside by $285 billion in the last nine years. The world is clawing at our door to buy our oil and natural gas but the present government, while inciting every conceivable pretext for refusing or harassing the construction of pipelines to get our oil and gas to world markets, has clamped its lips around the gas-pipe of climate alarmism.

Transactional marriages help fuel surging Punjab exodus to Canada: study

In their eagerness to gain a foothold in Canada, some residents of the Indian state of Punjab and elsewhere have gone to unusual lengths — including transactional marriages.

Their families paid the migration expenses of individuals who passed the standardized English exam needed to obtain a study visa here — in exchange for the person marrying them. As spouses of those English-proficient students, the new husbands or wives were — until last month at least — allowed to obtain work permits in Canada.

‘There’s an opportunity to divorce themselves’: Strategists weigh in on future of Liberal-NDP deal

With NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh putting the Liberals “on notice” that it could be a deal breaker if they don’t deliver on a pharmacare framework by March 1, the weekly panel of political strategists on CTV’s Question Period weigh in on the future of the parties’ confidence-and-supply agreement.

The deal — inked in the spring of 2022 — sees the NDP prop up the Liberals until 2025 in exchange for progress on key policy issues, such as pharmacare.

The parties had initially set the deadline for tabling pharmacare framework legislation for the end of last year, but in December, they pushed back that cut-off date to March 1.

Does Canada Exist?

“An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.” —Sun Tsu

Major Russ Cooper, CEO of Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights and Freedoms, puts the question succinctly. “How could it be that the country that once called itself ‘strong and free’ could have fallen so far from grace? The fact that it has done so is evidenced by a plethora of instances that have put a new national coarseness and vacuity on display.”

Feds Gave Over $144 Million to International Organizations for Climate Change Programs

The federal government has given over $144 million to international organizations, including the United Nations, for the “purpose of fighting climate change” since 2017.

“Canada’s International Climate Finance Program aims to support low and middle-income countries already affected by climate change in their transition to sustainable, low-carbon, climate-resilient, nature-positive and inclusive development,” states part of Environment and Climate Change Canada’s (ECCC) Jan. 29 response to Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant’s Inquiry of Ministry.

19 point Conservative lead over Liberals in Abacus poll says Justin Trudeau’s attacks on Pierre Poilievre not working

OTTAWA—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals keep taking punches at Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, but a new poll suggests they aren’t landing.

The Abacus Data survey, provided exclusively to the Star, suggests a 19-point lead for the Conservatives over the governing Liberals, with the support of 43 per cent of those polled compared to 24 per cent.

The three-point jump for the Tories since the last time Abacus surveyed comes as its latest poll shows the government’s approval rating is down by four percentage points, with 59 per cent of respondents saying they disapprove of the job Trudeau’s government is doing.

Another ‘beer tax’ increase is coming on April 1, amid calls to cancel it

It is no April Fools’ joke. On April 1, a federal tax increase on alcohol sometimes known as the “beer tax” is scheduled to come into effect, meaning Canadians could soon pay more for their alcoholic beverage of choice.

A Conservative MP is calling on the Canadian government to stop the raise.

The alcohol excise tax is set to go up by 4.7 per cent, which Kelowna-Lake Country MP Tracy Gray says will cost Canadians about $100 million extra in 2024-25.

On immigration, the sum of Canada’s special interests is not the national interest

… Ottawa fostered a parallel immigration system that is now far larger than the traditional, permanent immigration system. And unlike the regular immigration system’s economic-immigration stream, the focus is on low-wage labour. The impact is seen in falling gross domestic product per capita and rental housing prices rising much faster than the rate of inflation. Both have the effect of lowering living standards, particularly for low- and middle-income Canadians.

No other developed country is pursuing a policy anything like this.

Jack Mintz: Canada has lost $225 billion in foreign investment since 2016

According to the OECD, Canada was the third largest recipient of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in the first three quarters of 2023 (at US$42 billion), behind only the United States and Brazil. Does that mean Canada is doing well attracting capital, as the federal government has argued? Not really. Not if you consider outflows, too.

Trudeau says he’s furious over Bell Media layoffs, calling it a ‘garbage decision’

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is trash-talking BCE Inc.’s widespread layoffs, calling the cuts a “garbage decision.”

Trudeau says he’s furious over Bell Media’s decision to end multiple television newscasts and that the corporation should know better.

The outlet made program cuts Thursday after its parent company announced job reductions and the sale of 45 of its 103 regional radio stations.

I’m sure Bell will maintain their current high standard of sycophantic coverage.
