Guilbeault crashes Conservative convention as Poilievre finds firmer footing in Quebec

QUEBEC CITY – Fresh from a visit to Beijing, Liberal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault appeared at the doorstep of Quebec City’s convention centre on Friday to crash the Conservative party’s national convention and call leader Pierre Poilievre a climate denier.

“Frankly, it’s very easy to attack Pierre Poilievre on the environment,” Guilbeault said, adding that Poilievre is “someone who claims to be a political leader in 2023 who does not even believe in climate change, who does not believe that we should be doing anything about climate change”.

I’m betting Guilbeault got instructions from Xi.

Trudeau says he will testify with ‘enthusiasm’ if called as a witness at foreign interference inquiry

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday he will “willingly” testify before the public inquiry into foreign election interference if he’s asked.

“Willingly and with very much enthusiasm,” Trudeau told reporters at a news conference in Singapore.

“I think it’s important for Canadians to know exactly everything this government has been doing in regards to foreign interference and to talk frankly about the challenges that we continue to face in our democracies around the world.”

Just don’t ask him about China.

Ex-military general says Canada being destroyed by ‘woke movement’

Retired lieutenant general Michel Maisonneuve and his wife, Barbara, took the stage on Thursday at the Conservative Party convention, with the couple deriding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s so-called “woke agenda.”

“Our country has been led by a government that has been focused on virtue signalling,” Maisonneuve told the crowd in Quebec City. “Apologizing for who we are and how we came to be.”

Head of CCP Department Now Designated a Spy Agency Met With Canadian Ministers in 2018

The former head of a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) department responsible for engaging with foreign political parties met with multiple federal cabinet ministers and the national security adviser to the prime minister during a 2018 visit to Canada. This CCP department was recently designated an “intelligence service” by a German federal intelligence agency.

The International Department of the Central Committee of the CCP, also known as the International Liaison Department (ILD), operates “de facto as an intelligence service of the People’s Republic of China and is therefore part of the Chinese intelligence apparatus,” says a “Safety Notice for Politics and Administration” in German.

The bottom has suddenly fallen out of Liberal support. Why?

A wise old pollster once put it to me this way: “When people have decided to get rid of a government,” he said, “it doesn’t matter who the other guys are.”

Somewhere along the way this summer, large numbers of Canadians appear to have suddenly decided they want to get rid of this government. The top-line numbers are arresting enough. Four recent polls, by Angus Reid, Abacus, Leger and Mainstreet, put the Conservatives ahead by between 11 and 14 points. As late as June, the Tory lead was five points or less.

Canada added 40,000 jobs in August — but it added 100,000 more people, too

Vicious idiots run Canada

Canada’s economy added 40,000 jobs last month, about twice as many as expected, but also only about half as many as would be needed to keep up with population growth.

Statistics Canada reported Friday that while the economy added jobs, the country also added about 103,000 new people. So despite the mini-surge, the employment rate — the percentage of adults who are actively in the workforce — actually declined by 0.1 percentage points, to 61.9 per cent.

Justin Trudeau hammered by devastating polls just before Parliament set to reconvene

With only a week to go before Parliament reconvenes, a pair of devastating polls are showing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with near-unprecedented rates of disapproval.

Younger people, who were key to Trudeau’s 2015 election victory, have now broken for the Conservatives at rates that haven’t been seen since the 1980s. A new Abacus Data survey found that Millennials were nearly twice as likely to vote Conservative as Liberal. And the Tories even led among the younger Generation Z; Canadians aged 18 to 27 favoured the Conservatives at a rate of 32 per cent against 24 per cent for the Liberals.

Jesse Kline: A Liberal national housing strategy is a monstrously terrible idea

In case you hadn’t heard, Canada is in the midst of a housing crisis, and by golly the federal government must do something about it! At least, that’s the prevailing opinion of the liberal chattering classes, who are demanding a national strategy to increase the supply of houses, rental units and Soviet-style co-operative housing.

For the past couple years, the Trudeau Liberals have at least been pretending to address the issue, in the typical “we’ll add a heap of regulations and throw a bunch of money at the problem so it looks like we’re taking it seriously” sort of way.

Quebec Court of Appeal Judge Marie-Josée Hogue to lead foreign interference inquiry

Justice Marie-Josée Hogue of the Quebec Court of Appeal will chair a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canada’s elections, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc announced Thursday.

Hogue’s first report is due Feb. 29 and her mandate will focus on alleged acts of interference by China and other states, including Russia, he said.

Former governor general David Johnston was tasked with looking into allegations that China tried to meddle in the past two federal elections. He resigned from the position in June, saying his role had become too muddled in political controversy for him to continue.

I have zero faith in this farce, it’s like asking Al Capone to investigate bootlegging.

UN envoy links temporary foreign worker program to ‘contemporary forms of slavery’

A United Nations official on Wednesday denounced Canada’s temporary foreign worker program as a “breeding ground for contemporary forms of slavery.”

Tomoya Obokata, UN special rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, made the comments in Ottawa after spending 14 days in Canada.

“I am disturbed by the fact that many migrant workers are exploited and abused in this country,” he said.

Job Growth in Government Sector Outpaced Private Sector Since the Onset of COVID: Study

Jobs in the government sector grew at a rate much faster than in the private sector since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new study shows.

The study released by the Fraser Institute found that the net job growth in the public sector outpaced the private sector by more than three times during the period from February 2020 to June 2023.

Missing million temporary residents in figures casts doubt on how many have jobs: report

A discrepancy of around a million temporary residents between official figures from two federal bodies is leaving Canada in the dark about how many of those residents actually have jobs, an economist is warning.

“I want to know the truth,” he said. “What’s the true number here? The reality is that nobody knows what the truth is – nobody. And that’s a problem.”

The report says undercounting of temporary residents in labour force figures could have a serious impact on planning to alleviate labour shortages, and could also affect wages.


Incompetence or a deliberate scam? Either way Canadian citizens have their prosperity undermined by mass immigration.

International students pay sky-high fees. Whose job is it to house them?

Around 800,000 international students currently call Canada home, with thousands more expected to come with every new academic year.

As students head back to school this fall, the focus is increasing on whose responsibility it is to house them, and what the growing numbers mean for Canada’s housing crisis.


For something to have gotten this out of hand makes me suspect a “scam” benefitting the Liberal Party.

It is not the tax payers job. Blame the twits in Ottawa send the students back to their homes.
