Steven Guilbeault, ‘policy-maker of the year,’ is killing economic growth

The Ottawa-based Macdonald-Laurier Institute has named Steven Guilbeault, federal minister of environment and climate change, its 2023 policy-maker of the year. “Ruthless, reckless and damaging,” the cover of the latest issue of MLI’s Inside Policy magazine calls him, announcing its choice.

Standing out for reckless and damaging policy-making is a real achievement in a government now famous for policy disasters. Its economic policy has created crises of unaffordability and stagnation; its foreign policy was recently praised by terror group Hamas ; and its social policy has descended into a parody of wokeness, with international headlines mocking Ottawa for providing free feminine hygiene products in men’s washrooms on Parliament Hill and instructing all federally regulated workplaces to do the same — since providing them only to women would not be equitable.

Immigration and housing — the elephants in Canada’s crisis room

Among the tectonic forces enfeebling Canada at the moment in ways we haven’t seen in generations, there are a couple of things we’d all do well to start talking about openly and honestly in 2024, while we still can. Or rather, if we still can. Unfortunately, Canada’s political class seems disinclined to engage in a grown-up conversation about either of them: immigration and housing.

GUNTER: Micro-managing leading to mistrust of federal government

Over the last several years, senior federal civil servants have repeatedly expressed their surprise at Canadians’ eroding faith in government.

Do they not get out much and speak with dissatisfied, ordinary citizens? I suppose in their vacuum-sealed social and professional worlds they encounter very few people angered by the daily intrusions of government in their personal lives.

Tasha Kheiriddin: New year, same problems, same inept leadership from Justin Trudeau

The year is only a few days old, yet it feels like we’re stuck in 2023. Russia remains at war with Ukraine. Hamas is still at war with Israel. China is meddling in Taiwan’s election. Artificial intelligence is eating our jobs. Social media is filled with rage about inflation, Palestine, trans rights and Donald Trump. It’s enough to make you hide under the covers, shut off your news feeds and watch cat videos until you fall into a fretful sleep.

Canada seen as an ‘unserious player on the international stage,’ says Chamber of Commerce CEO

Says his kids punched him out

Perrin Beatty said in an open letter to the PM that the country needs to boost defence spending to deal with an increasingly dangerous world

OTTAWA — The head of Canada’s largest business organization wants the government to step up internationally, warning the country is seen as increasingly irrelevant on the world stage.

Perrin Beatty, CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, released an open letter to the prime minister this weekend, arguing that the country has to do more and develop a foreign policy and defence policy designed to meet today’s challenges.

I don’t trust the Chamber of Crony Capitalists to speak in anyone’s favour but their own.

LEDREW: Trudeau wants us to allow him to radically change Canada

His policies, rooted in increasingly discredited and dated dogma, would turn Canadians into a flock of sheep

Who uttered the scariest, most threatening words, anywhere in the world, in all of 2023?

Not Putin, not Kim Jong Un of North Korea, or some other unscrupulous dictator — it was Canada’s own Justin Trudeau.

We are lead by a very stupid high school student who believes communism will work … this time.

Trudeau goes into 2024 in dire need of a better story to tell

The memo sent to staff in the Prime Minister’s Office to announce the hiring of Max Valiquette as the government’s new executive director of communications said the former marketing executive would be focused on, among other things, “aligning the entire team under a clear narrative.”

In politics, a clear narrative isn’t everything, but it’s a lot. And at least one of the reasons for the Liberal government’s struggles in 2023 might be that Justin Trudeau’s side lacked a compelling narrative — a tidy story to tell about itself and the country — or didn’t do enough to be heard.

Canadian schools are accepting international students by the thousands — but nearly half aren’t being allowed into the country

Nearly half the international students who have been accepted by Canadian schools are being rejected by visa officers, and some public colleges in Ontario are seeing thousands of the would-be students they’ve admitted turned away.

New numbers analyzed by the Star offer a snapshot of the behind-the-scenes workings of this country’s international student system — a system that has become a major revenue source for post-secondary schools, but which critics, including the federal immigration minister, say has “lost its integrity.”

Saskatchewan to stop collecting hated Trudeau carbon levy from natural gas and electrical heat

REGINA – The Saskatchewan government says its natural gas utility is to stop collecting the carbon levy as of Monday from residential customers.

The move comes after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exempted those who use home heating oil from paying the levy, mostly benefiting residents in Atlantic Canada.

Saskatchewan asked for the exemption to cover all other forms of heating, but Ottawa denied the request. In response, the province said it would stop collecting the charge at the start of 2024.
