Canada’s opposition leader is going viral once again, this time, aligning Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his father Pierre with anti-capitalistic beliefs.

Trudeau gov’t denies appeals from Newfoundland and Labrador to pause crippling clean fuel regulations
Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has refused Newfoundland and Labrador’s request to pause clean fuel regulations as Maritimers are struggling to make ends meet.
Klaus Schwab Says He Counts on Freeland’s Leadership in Achieving WEF Objectives: Letter
World Economic Forum leader Klaus Schwab told Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland he relies on her leadership to achieve the organization’s objectives, according to a hand-signed letter obtained by The Epoch Times.
“I have long counted on your leadership in ensuring multistakeholder efforts remain focused on results that are more equitable, sustainable and just,” Mr. Schwab wrote in a February 2022 letter.

Report finds pandemic fuelled an explosion in public sector jobs
Public sector jobs in Canada since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic have grown at a rate more than three times as fast as those in the private sector, including the self-employed, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.
No secret there, they tend to be concentrated in urban centres like Toronto and Ottawa traditional Liberal Party strongholds. The LPC is just shoring up the vote.

Double standards on climate change
While Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault was in Beijing this week, ostensibly to discuss ways China and Canada can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, a new report warned China is massively expanding it use of coal to produce power.
William Watson: One way Ottawa could save money — posture less about U.S. politics
The federal government has set itself the task of finding $15 billion in savings over the next five years, though there’s some debate over whether the savings to be generated have or have not already been spent. The finance minister (Chrystia Freeland) seems to think so. The president of the Treasury Board (Anita Anand) seems to suggest not. If the money has already been spent, that obviously lends urgency to actually finding it.

U.S. politicians want to hear from MP Michael Chong on threats from China
MP Michael Chong is about to appear in a unique locale for a Canadian Opposition politician: a hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington.
American lawmakers studying foreign interference by China have taken an interest in Chong’s case and invited him to testify. He has agreed to appear before the congressional-executive commission on China on Sept. 12.
Members of the commission reached out to the Ontario Conservative after reading media reports about his family being targeted by Beijing.
I hope he names the LPC as an arm of the ChiComs.

GOLDSTEIN: China says its coal emissions are no big deal — over to you, Steven Guilbeault
While Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault was in Beijing this week to discuss ways China and Canada can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, one of China’s major state-run media organizations wrote an editorial headlined “Western concerns about China’s coal power growth unnecessary.”
Joe Oliver: Shh! Was that the Liberal leadership race getting underway?
Anita Anand and Chrystia Freeland recently drew public attention to their contrasting personas and political positioning. Anand, now President of the Treasury Board, was ousted as Minister of National Defence, supposedly for advocating too strenuously to fund the cash-strapped military and for excessive self-promotion. Clearly undeterred, she was quick out of the gate of her new gig with a letter to cabinet colleagues ordering them to come up with $15.4 billion in expenditure cuts over the next five years. For her part, Freeland used a commencement address at Northeastern University in Boston to ask rhetorically whether capitalist democracy is still effective.

Saskatchewan designed an immigration policy that benefits citizens and newcomers, The Star says it’s RACIST!
This Canadian province wants to pick immigrants based on their nation. Is that fair, or a ‘slippery slope’?
In a first-of-its-kind pilot project, Saskatchewan is picking skilled immigrants based on their country of residence, raising eyebrows for deviating from Canada’s selection system that has otherwise been open to all regardless of race and nationality.
In August, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program created six draws with the goal of inviting 542 skilled immigrants in dozens of occupational backgrounds to settle in the province as permanent residents.
The catch is only those who are living in one of these eight countries can qualify: Czechia, Germany, India, Ireland, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine.
Because Canada’s current policy inviting incompatible cultures who have little to no desire to integrate has worked out so well.
Just think of the ethno-religious conflicts we’d miss out on if we screened for suitability! Assassinations, riots, honor killings!
Such vibrant diversity makes us stronger.
Canadians love being treated like 2nd class citizens in their own nation and understand that immigration policy must always conform to the needs of the corporate and political class.
You gotta break a few eggs to depress wages, create housing shortages and foment a fearful balkanized society I always say.
But here’s the rub, Trudeau has turned Canada into such a shithole state that the majority of “permanent residents” no longer desire to become citizens:
In 2021, nearly 45.7 per cent of permanent residents who’d been in Canada for less than 10 years became citizens.
That’s down from 60 per cent in 2016, and 75.1 per cent in 2001.
But of course the Star finds an “expert” who argues the old system is working just fine. Fine in the sense that today’s immigrants are not the old immigrants and are more likely to use Canada only as a safe place to park their money before moving on to greener pastures.
Fine in the sense the government is so inept they lost track of a million migrants thus grossly understating the housing and infrastucture crisis.
That’s a great return on investment.
Commie Guilbeault’s Suncor criticism shows ‘utter contempt’ for Alberta, premier says
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the federal environment minister’s criticism of a major oilsands company constitutes a “provocative” verbal attack on Alberta’s energy sector.
“Steven Guilbeault has once again shown his utter contempt for Alberta, our economy and our energy workers,” reads a statement attributed to the premier, released on Wednesday.
“Minister Guilbeault’s comments are a continuation of his provocative verbal attacks on Alberta’s energy sector, the most environmentally responsible and ethical energy-producing jurisdiction in the world.”

Another Trudeau Lie: A million more non-permanent residents live in Canada than official figures, ministers told
A leading economist warned federal ministers at their cabinet retreat last week that there are around one million more non-permanent residents living in Canada, including foreign students, than government estimates suggest.
The warning came in a briefing from Benjamin Tal, deputy chief economist at CIBC Capital Markets. He told the Liberal government gathering in Charlottetown that the undercounting in the official statistics means Canada is underestimating the number of new homes required to meet the country’s increasing housing needs.

‘Getting squeezed on both sides’: Liberals a distant third among younger voters
The federal Liberals are seeing a dive in popularity among younger voters, once the core of their base, falling 23 points behind the Conservatives by the end of August, according to new polling from Nanos Research.
The data shows the Liberals in a distant third place for 18-29 year olds with 15.97 per cent, compared to the Conservatives and the NDP with 39.21 per cent and 30.92 per cent respectively.
That’s a harsh lesson. Kids supported Junior and watched their economic future turn to ashes.
How to fix a broken foreign student visa system? Send it back to school
Marc Miller, the new federal immigration minister, gets it. Whether he plans to fix it; whether the Prime Minister’s Office is interested in fixing it; and whether the provinces will help all remain to be seen.
The “it” is Canada’s student visa program. Its defects and side effects have been getting a lot of attention, mostly in relation to housing prices. The fact that more than 800,000 visa students were in Canada last year, compared to fewer than 200,000 a decade and a half ago, is one of many contributors to a growing mismatch between housing demand and supply. It’s not discriminatory to point this out. It’s just math.
My bet is Miller will do nothing, ethnic vote blocs matter to the Liberals and they will not do anything to jeapordize votes.
Tasha Kheiriddin: Stacking judicial appointments with partisans makes a comeback under the Liberals
How much does it cost to get a judgeship in Canada? The answer should be “nothing.” Judges are supposed to be independent and apolitical to ensure public confidence in the legal system. All who come before the courts should be equal, whatever their political affiliation, and governments whose laws are challenged should not be favoured by friends on the bench. The judiciary has no room for partisanship, and certainly not for partisan financial gain.
