Omg – Tucker just dared CBC News to come interview him after the show.

Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Michael Higgins: How can Canadians trust Trudeau and Joly when they don’t trust you?
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly claim to know Canadians, but what they don’t do is trust the very people they serve.
In the last two days, neither Trudeau nor Joly when asked about a specific issue or a matter of vitally important policy would give an honest answer.
They both think that expressing faux sympathy with Canadians is a better alternative.
Trudeau gov’t ‘green’ heat pump scam to cost nearly quadruple initial estimate
An ideologically charged Canadian federal government “green” program to try and get homeowners to switch their reliable heating oil furnaces for less reliable electric heat pumps via a large grant has been blasted by a taxpayer advocacy group as yet more government waste after it was revealed the program is set to cost nearly four times as much as originally thought.

Christine Van Geyn: Emergencies Act was clearly unjustified — Liberals face steep path to appeal
Two years to the day of the beginning of the 2022 Freedom Convoy, the Federal Court has declared the Trudeau government’s response to that protest unreasonable and unconstitutional. On Tuesday, Justice Richard Mosley of the Federal Court issued a decision in a group of cases challenging the invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to the convoy. The cases were brought by public interest organizations, including the Canadian Constitution Foundation and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, as well as individual protesters who had been directly impacted by the emergency orders.
Trudeau announces ‘Team Canada’ approach to U.S. election
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Tuesday that he has assigned two cabinet ministers to lead a new “Team Canada” engagement to ensure Canada and his government are prepared for all possible outcomes from this fall’s United States presidential election.
“Canada-U.S. relations are fundamental for the prosperity and well-being of Canadians,” Trudeau told reporters in Montreal, where he is wrapping up two days of meetings with his cabinet.
No one pays serious attention to Trudeau at home or abroad.
Trudeau admits he’ll spend your money like a drunken Trudeau to buy next election
Justin Trudeau fends off dire warnings, says he won’t slash federal spending
MONTREAL — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he doesn’t believe in slashing federal spending to please business groups or opposition Conservatives, raising questions about how his Liberal government would meet its own goal to cap annual budget deficits in the coming years.
Speaking to reporters on the final day of the Liberal cabinet retreat ahead of the winter sitting of Parliament, Trudeau brushed aside a recent statement from a prominent corporate lobby group that concludes meeting the goal could require $12 billion in annual spending cuts or increased taxes — far more than the reduction of $15.4 billion the Liberals have pledged to make over the next five years.
Tasha Kheiriddin: Liberals put all their bets on campaigning against … Donald Trump
It’s retreat week for two of Canada’s top three political parties. The Liberal cabinet is hunkered down in Montreal, talking housing, cost of living, and Donald Trump. The NDP caucus is assembled in Edmonton, strategizing on how to squeeze their priorities into the Liberals’ upcoming spring budget.
And the Conservatives? They’re just sitting pretty at the top of the polls, to the consternation of their rivals, who are staring down the barrel of a 2025 election with very few options for turning the tide.
B.C., Ontario vow to crack down on diploma mill schools exploiting Trudeau’s mass immigration scam
B.C. and Ontario are vowing to crack down on private post-secondary institutions that are accused of exploiting international students, after the federal government announced Monday it will cap the number of student permits issued in the next two years.
Federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced the government will reduce the number of student visas by 35 per cent for 2024, stating the goal is in part to target private institutions he described as “the diploma equivalent of puppy mills.”
I don’t believe this for a minute.
A very good explanation of the housing crisis and why the Liberals can’t fix it doing what they’re doing.
Most housing economists at that time concluded that Canada’s booming population wasn’t the key driver of rising home prices.
The key driver of rapidly rising home prices, they argued, was a “lack of supply” driven mainly by municipal inefficiencies and zoning restrictions 2/

Federal government’s decision to invoke Emergencies Act against convoy protests was unreasonable, court rules
A federal judge says the Liberal government’s use of the Emergencies Act in early 2022 to clear convoy protesters was unreasonable.
The case was brought forward by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the Canadian Constitution Foundation and individuals who argued Ottawa did not meet the legal threshold when it invoked the legislation, which had never been used before.
The two groups shared copies of the decision online.
Trudeau still got away with it.

Of course they send out the Nazi to announce the appeal.
BS. You used it to freeze innocent people’s bank accounts, just because they disagreed with your tyrannical regime.

The problem is us, not him, Trudeau patiently explains
It has been two months since the Prime Minister’s Office announced branding guru Max Valiquette would become executive director of communications, bringing with him his expertise in “understanding millennials and generation Z.” Early in the new year, the PMO also added broadcaster, strategist and pundit Supriya Dwivedi as a senior adviser. In a Toronto Star op-ed, Dwivedi said she signed on in hopes of tackling online misinformation that’s being algorithmically forced down our throats by “giant, for-profit, foreign companies.”
Battered in the polls, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals look for a boost from … Donald Trump?
MONTREAL — The federal Liberals are turning their minds to how they can strategically benefit from the looming shadow of Donald Trump, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet are set to hold sessions on Canada’s relations with the United States ahead of this year’s presidential election.
The discussion is slated for Tuesday, before Trudeau and his front bench of cabinet ministers wrap up three days of strategizing and policy debate ahead of the winter sitting of Parliament. It also happens to occur as Trump tries to tighten his grip on the Republican Party nomination for president with Tuesday’s primary vote in New Hampshire.
Ottawa is putting all our eggs in an EV battery basket
Ever since the federal government signalled an open bar for subsidies for the electric vehicle industry, the list of companies wanting to set up shop in this country in exchange for taxpayer cash just keeps growing. We learned recently that both Honda and Toyota have added their names to it. If the past is any guide, there’s a good chance Ottawa will give each of them a wad of Canadian taxpayers’ money.
Foreign Student Scam: Canada unveils new restrictions on work permits for international students, spouses
The federal government has announced new measures to limit and curb the abuse of Canada’s international student program.
Starting on Sept. 1, Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced Monday, the federal government will stop issuing postgraduate work permits to international students who graduate from programs provided under so-called Public College-Private Partnerships.
Furthermore, for most of the international students who are not studying in graduate schools or in a professional program such as medicine or law, their spouses will no longer receive a work permit to work in Canada.
WTF! The Liberals were letting the spouses in too?
It’s only a 2 year cap and the number of permits is being reduced to 364K, a reduction of only 35% that’s still too many as this was just a Liberal party scam to begin with.
Executive Pay for Federal Employees Has Increased $571 Million Since 2015
Pay for executives working in the federal government increased over half a billion dollars in less than 10 years, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF).
Compensation for executives across federal departments and agencies increased from $1.38 billion in 2015 to $1.95 billion in 2022, an increase of 41 percent, according to a CTF federal commentary published Jan. 17, citing data obtained from access-to-information records.
The organization also found that, over that seven-year period, the number of federal executives increased 31 percent, from 7,138 to 9,371, while inflation, based on Statistics Canada data, increased 19.4 percent.

The spectre of another Trump presidency looms as Trudeau’s cabinet gathers to start a new year
In August 2016, when the current government was less than a year old, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet gathered at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ont. for a two-day retreat. The ministers bunked in the student dorms. The big story of the week concerned a $1,700 bill for car service incurred by Jane Philpott, health minister at the time.
Among their special guests were Michael Barber, the British guru behind “deliverology,” and David MacNaughton, the experienced Liberal adviser who was serving as Canada’s ambassador to the United States.
