MONTREAL—Against a backdrop of a double-digit deficit in the national public polls, Justin Trudeau and his cabinet are huddling in Montreal to plot strategy for the high stakes winter sitting of Parliament in which the next federal budget will be delivered.
The retreat begins today and will wrap up Tuesday.
Justin is that stupid.
When it comes to electric vehicles (EVs), the Trudeau government and Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault are putting the policy cart before the technology horse.
If last week’s extreme cold temperatures over most of the country taught us anything, it’s that EVs just aren’t practical (yet) for a country this big and this cold.
The number of international students in Canada now exceeds one million, according to official figures that show an increase that has escalated far faster than the government’s own internal forecasts.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada told The Globe and Mail that at the end of December, there were 1,028,850 study permit holders, with just over half of them in Ontario.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Israel’s “short-term” actions could result in the withdrawal of “support for a Jewish state” from Canada and other allied nations.
Trudeau’s Liberal government voted in favour of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, an Islamic extremist terrorist group leading the Palestinian government that holds the doctrine all Jews must be destroyed.
OTTAWA — One of Canada’s leading business groups has accused the federal government of eroding the country’s economic standing through its failure to constrain spending and more quickly adopt policies to cash in on the global transition away from fossil fuels.
The Business Council of Canada, a lobby group based in Ottawa, sent that message in a letter addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday.
In the letter, which the group provided to the Star, council president and chief executive Goldy Hyder warned that government inaction in areas like spending restraint and reforms to the process to approve major projects is undercutting the Canadian economy.
Recognize this: This article is written to suggest the “Business Council of Canada” representing Canada’s corporate welfare class gives a damn about the so called transition away from fossil fuels and supports Trudeau’s lunatic climate policies.
In fact the BCC only want Trudeau to make it easier for them to cash in on his Net Zero fraud before the public kicks that nonsense to curb.
The BCC in their insatiable greed heartily supports Trudeau’s destructive mass immigration scam. They do not hold your best interests at heart.
In the lead up to the 2019 federal election, People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier was uncannily prophetic on immigration.
Right now immigration, and its impact on housing, jobs and affordability becomes a successively bigger topic each week.
More and more columnists, journalists, economists and politicians are talking about it. Yet none of them has given even a grudging acknowledgement to Maxime Bernier’s 2019 platform on this issue.
Mad at Justin Trudeau? Tuning him out? The prime minister says he hears you — and he gets it
Justin Trudeau gets a lot of advice. It goes with the job of being prime minister.
But who does Trudeau seek out when times get tough, as they have so often over the past year?
“Define ‘tough times,’ because that sounds like Monday to me,” Trudeau said when he sat down with me for a wide-ranging, one-on-one interview last week. “Every day is tough. We’re running a country in a really, really complex time.”
Only Blackie’s Star has the gall to paint the public’s intense and growing disdain for Trudeau as if it were a mere glitch quickly remedied by a selfie or special socks.
During Wynne’s last run for office it became evident that not only the public but the media had tuned her out. I suspect Wynne tuned Wynne out.
She became an afterthought and deservedly so. People were interested in one thing – seeing the back of her.
Trudeau and his ministers desperately hope to reverse his faded fortunes and are spinning tall tales about how they’re solving the housing, affordability and mass immigration crisis while building a fabulous economic future under their lunatic Net-Zero tyranny.
But it’s all lies these problems were inflicted upon us through the malevolent incompetence of Trudeau’s Liberals. Canadians know that.
Our nation’s social and economic security has been deeply harmed by Trudeau’s policies and it will take years to fix the mess Junior created.
It is the common people who are suffering from his incompetence not Junior’s insulated Liberal cabal and the most vulnerable will continue to bear the brunt of Trudeau’s malfeasance for years to come.
Besides our new status as a naturally wealthy nation made deliberately poor Canada’s other claim to fame is as a World Class Laughing Stock. Thank Trudeau for that. I bet his cronies steal the tampons from Parliament’s men’s washrooms.
No amount of spin will lie the Liberals out of that legacy.
OTTAWA – As the United States election cycle goes into full swing ahead of a pivotal election later this year, federal Liberals north of the border have been increasingly comparing Canadian Conservatives to Trump Republicans.
For several months, the refrain from Liberal MPs is that the federal Tories are doing “American-style” politics, and their leader, Pierre Poilievre, is representing “Trump North.”
Conservative MPs are using “MAGA” tactics, the Liberals say, referring to Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan. They’re invoking it just as the ex-president looks for another kick at the presidential can.
The Fraser Institute of Vancouver, one of the outstanding public policy think-tanks of North America, last week issued a summary entitled “24 facts for 2024 — Canadians should understand the impact of government policies,” and the message is sobering. I am much indebted to Fraser’s Niels Veldhuis and Peter Brown for most of the statistics in this column. Fraser starts with the distressing statement that while per capita income in Canada has effectively stagnated from 2016 to 2022, moving only three per cent from $54,154 to $55,863, the United States per capita income in the same time has risen more than four times as much, from $65,792 to $73,565. “The average Canadian now earns $17,700 less than the average American.” According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Canada will be the worst-performing advanced economy in the world from 2020 all the way to 2060.
Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tried to walk a fine line on the Israel-Gaza conflict. But by seeking to appeal to all sides, he has pleased no-one.
On Thursday, Israel’s envoy to Canada had a request for Mr Trudeau – that Canada “leave no room for misinterpretation” on a matter that the ambassador said was “crystal clear”.
The matter was South Africa’s allegation before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Israel, accusing it of genocide in Gaza. Israel has slammed the claim as false and “grossly distorted”.
Rising migration levels are putting public services under strain
Population growth used to be determined by birth rates. But in the infertile West, it’s increasingly immigration policy which makes the difference. One might think, then, that no government would use this power beyond reasonable bounds. However, that’s to reckon without Justin Trudeau. During his eight years in office, the Canadian Prime Minister has pursued a recklessly liberal immigration policy.

Canadians are experiencing scandal fatigue with the federal government.
Rather than expressing rage or even annoyance as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did a new version of his old Aga Khan private resort vacation debacle, citizens are responding with a resigned shrug of the shoulders. While whiffs of possible government corruption involving the controversial ArriveCan APP are emerging and federal officials are being suspended, Canadians aren’t even batting an eye. People have given up hoping for accountability as the government continues to skate on, scandal after scandal, without resolution.
After eight years of the Trudeau Liberal government managing the Canadian economy, Canadians are in the throes of a cost-of-living crisis. While this crisis is being felt by citizens in countries around the world, the Trudeau government’s policies are exacerbating the tight financial situation most Canadians find themselves in. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, and a host of senior ministers are championing fiscal and economic policies that are proving to be detrimental to the economic well-being of individual Canadians and of the country as a whole.
The word “democracy” often conjures up a basic understanding of a system in which the decisions and actions of a society are guided by the collective will of the people.
The practical implementation of that, however, often falls short. A few examples that come to mind are hot-button topics like universal background checks on gun sales, multilateral climate change initiatives and abortion rights. Despite overwhelming support from the public, more often than not, governments fail to enact legislation to support these policies for a wide variety of reasons.
Earlier this month we wrote that the bigger issue with Justin Trudeau’s controversial Christmas vacation in Jamaica was not the fact that the Prime Minister was able to lodge his family in a luxury resort for nine nights for free, but that the Conflict of Interest Act allows him and other public office holders to accept undisclosed gifts of unlimited value from friends and family members.
We stand by that. The Conflict of Interest Act and the Conflict of Interest Code for MPs need to be amended to require every Parliamentarian to disclose gifts from friends and immediate family worth more than a nominal value.
He is convinced he is above the law.
