Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Liberals hope focus on housing, crime halts their plummet in the polls as Parliament returns

After taking a beating in the polls all summer, Liberal MPs are expected to focus on two areas of political vulnerability for them — housing and public safety — when Parliament resumes today after the summer break.

Conservatives, riding high in the polls and re-energized after a September policy convention, will use every opportunity they have during the fall sitting to argue that after eight years in government, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s policies have failed to address a shortage of housing or to keep communities safe.

Growing gap between Ottawa’s version of reality and the facts on the ground becoming apparent to Canadians

The Soviet Union ultimately collapsed from internal contradictions related to a faltering ideology, limited free speech, economic mismanagement, deteriorating international influence and an inability to deliver on promises of a better life that were painfully obvious to all but were not, for fear of brutal reprisal, discussed publicly until near the very end. Justin Trudeau’s leftist woke government is afflicted by similar if milder contradictions that in our free country the aggrieved population living under them is discussing quite openly — which suggests the government’s dissolution will come faster.

The federal government’s efforts to gather Canadian grocery executives for a summit to tackle food inflation is “disingenuous” and unlikely to bear much fruit, analysts say.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday announced he was summoning leaders from Canada’s biggest grocers together on Monday, calling for a plan to stabilize food inflation and warning tax measures were on the table should Canadians continue to face undue pain at the grocery store.

It’s so rare to see an honest headline about Trudeau.

His poll numbers are plunging. His MPs are griping. But Justin Trudeau isn’t changing course

“Better than expected” isn’t exactly a phrase that has followed Justin Trudeau around this summer.

So perhaps it is remarkable that the prime minister walked out of his Liberal caucus retreat this week with everyone talking about an “honest” conversation that went better than expected, by most accounts.

The good news is that both the public and many in the media are on the same page. Junior is being ignored at best and more often simply laughed at.

Critics and members of the opposition have expressed concern over the federal government’s talk of potentially imposing additional taxes on major grocers. They argue that this move could worsen the affordability crisis faced by Canadians who are already grappling with rising food prices.

At the conclusion of the Liberal party’s three-day national caucus retreat in London, Ontario, on Sept. 14, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that his government is exploring various tools, including potential tax measures, to compel major grocery retailers to stabilize food prices.

At this point, “Gotta check with Katie,” is basically a Parliament Hill magical incantation.

She is the quiet voice that carries, the last person in the room, a first-name-only Ottawa main character.

Some prime ministers have employed their chiefs of staff as mercenaries for specific moments and replaced them when the situation demanded something different. Others have held their chiefs close for years as trusted consiglieres.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cares so much about how the cost of food is affecting Canadians, he is threatening to bring in policies that will either raise grocery bills even more, or bring about shortages — or both. Remember spring 2020, with the empty shelves and lineups to get into the Superstore? Trudeau apparently does, and with fondness.

Atlantic Liberal MPs say they want an additional rural carve-out on the carbon tax to ease cost-of-living pressures specific to Canadians living outside of major urban centres.

MP Ken McDonald, who represents the riding of Avalon in Newfoundland and Labrador, said many of his constituents feel abandoned by the federal government.

He brought their concerns to the attention of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the national Liberal caucus meetings this week in London, Ont.
