Liberal MPs are split on how Canada should respond to the International Court of Justice case on whether Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The United Nations’ top court opted today to continue looking into the case and demanded Israel try to limit death and damage in its military offensive.
Desperation has definitely set in at the Langevin Block, home of the Prime Minister’s Office on Parliament Hill. You can see it in how they act and who and what they attack as they try to convince voters they are relevant.
Canada’s chief technology officer, Minh Doan, a central figure in the hearings related to the ArriveCan app and contracting misconduct allegations, faces accusations of taking unusual steps that led to the destruction of e-mails at the Canada Border Services Agency, a claim he strongly denies.
In Montreal, the Trudeau Liberals found a few hours to talk about inflation and economic troubles.
About bloody time, although much too late.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet have frittered away nearly a term with their obsessions — firing out unrealistic emissions targets while rents and prices soar, nodding sagely at social extremism, registering barely a tic of discomfort while pro-Hamas demonstrators call for Canadians to be killed.
Canadian taxpayers will shell out an estimated $81.8 billion in interest payments on total federal and provincial government debt of $2.2 trillion this year, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.
The New York Times is still trying to explain Donald Trump to Americans. The effort might seem a bit late, but the fact that it’s still necessary underlines just how comprehensively Trump’s army of adversaries have failed to figure him out.
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took aim not just at Pierre Poilievre in a speech Thursday, but at the Conservative leader’s MPs and party candidates in a partisan speech ahead of the new sitting of parliament.
These are not grownups.
They’ll attack, viciously, anybody who doesn’t drink their woke, disingenuous, Canada killing kool aid. They’ll call them the worst of names.
But the second somebody talks back at them? It’s “MAGA political violence”.
They’re children. https://t.co/6mVP9DBWKJ

Many public figures became household names around the time of the Freedom Convoy in the winter of 2022, for actions they took or didn’t, or for what they said or perhaps wish they hadn’t.
The Federal Court ruled Jan. 23 that invoking the Emergencies Act was not justified and that it led to violations of charter rights. Here’s a look at the status of key figures involved in the events.
OTTAWA – Former justice minister David Lametti is resigning as a Montreal Liberal MP at the end of the month.
A professor at McGill University’s Faculty of Law, Lametti was first elected as MP for LaSalle-Emard-Verdun in 2015 and served as parliamentary secretary to the ministers of international trade and innovation, science and economic development.
“Supply, supply, supply” has been the mantra of both Liberals and Conservatives to address the housing crisis. However, both have now begun to talk more openly about the impact immigration is having on the demand side of the equation.
While the Liberals have remained publicly committed to their regular immigration targets, they’ve recently admitted that temporary forms of immigration, especially those pertaining to international students, are “out of control.”
Quality of life, per capita income and social cohesion are being sacrificed to a third world ‘population trap’
When wokeness, the making sacred of historically-disadvantaged minorities, takes control of a society like Canada, the effects go far beyond plans to stock tampons in men’s bathrooms. There, taboo-driven mass immigration is not only resulting in cultural tensions but in economic paralysis and soaring housing costs.
You know things have gone crazy when even economists at the National Bank of Canada are sounding the alarm. They say the country has entered a “population trap” in which savings are sucked into providing infrastructure and capital for new arrivals, impairing economic growth. More than that, the immense pressure of the 1.2 million new residents the country added in 2023 is driving the cost of housing through the roof. To put this number into scale, it’s larger than the population of most Canadian cities and 8 of the country’s 13 provinces and territories.
Trudeau is Canada’s worst PM in history.
Avalon MP Ken McDonald told CBC News he thinks it’s time for party members to “clear the air” and have a conversation about the direction of the party.

But as he prepares to meet with his colleagues today, McDonald is climbing down from those comments.
In a statement, he says he did not mean to call for a leadership review and continues to support Trudeau because he has the best interests of Canadians at heart.
They killed Kenny!
Why are Lib MP’s loyal? Likely because they hope to be awarded a cushy sinecure after being booted from office next election.
No sane individual can expect a Trudeau win after the horrific damage he has done to Canadian society.
Damage he cannot fix no matter how hard he lies.
Of course that worm theory could be true.
A Hamilton councillor’s recent experience witnessing a baby born in an encampment in the city demonstrates the “unacceptable” housing crisis residents face and “eye opening” situations paramedics and police officers are currently responding to, he says.
Coun. Matt Francis (Ward 5) told CBC Hamilton he was doing a ride along with police on a cold morning in late November when they were called to a medical emergency at an encampment tucked away in an industrial area in the east end.
Canadians never imagined that a man so criminally stupid, so self righteously indifferent to the genuine suffering of citizens as Justin Trudeau could ever be elected PM.
It didn’t take long for Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland to troop out to say the federal government will appeal. Justin Trudeau’s Liberals know what Tuesday’s court decision is: A millstone around their necks.
Invoking the Emergencies Act to shut down convoy protests in February, 2022, had been a popular decision at the time, and one of the biggest calls Mr. Trudeau ever made. Now the Federal Court of Canada has ruled it was illegal. Justice Richard Mosley concluded there was no national emergency, as defined by the law.
In 2024, now that Mr. Trudeau is much less popular, it’s a stiff blow to his credibility, and a kick at a government’s that’s already down.
It is not surprising that judges often disagree after witnessing the same evidence. They are, after all, simply lawyers in robes.
Federal Court Justice Richard Moseley ruled on Tuesday that the Liberal government did not have reasonable grounds to use the Emergencies Act to clear Freedom Convoy protestors in 2022, and doing so was an unreasonable overreach that infringed Canadians’ Charter rights
