Jamie Sarkonak: Cabinet shuffle the closest Liberals come to accountability

Members in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet don’t offer resignations for their failures. They simply wait for the next cabinet shuffle. The awkward question of accountability never needs to be asked. Disastrous headlines are averted.

With the total number of ministers remaining constant at 39 following last week’s cabinet shuffle, only seven have stayed in the same position they were in previously. That’s a ministerial turnover rate of 82 per cent. And judging by the performance of the previous cabinet, there’s good reasons why many of them have been shuffled out.

Trudeau blameless for asylum seekers sleeping in Toronto’s streets says Trudeau

‘It is unacceptable in a country like Canada,’ Trudeau says of asylum-seekers sleeping on Toronto streets

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it is “unacceptable” that asylum-seekers were forced to camp out on Toronto streets when they were turned away from the city’s overwhelmed shelter system last month and is vowing to be “part of the mix” when it comes to solving the crisis.

Last week, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow renewed her call for the federal government to come up with long-term solutions for refugees coming to Toronto. She said the $97 million in funding that recently came from Ottawa is not enough to deal with the shelter space shortage.

“Unacceptable in a country like Canada?” You made Canada a shithole Junior.

When will be rid of this puke?

The Liberals must fix the housing crisis, before it undermines support for immigration .. Awww too late corporate crony class the jig is up

In last week’s cabinet shuffle, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promoted Sean Fraser, one of his government’s rising stars, from immigration to housing. His job in this new portfolio is to fix the problem he contributed to in his old one.

Mr. Fraser must find a way to ease this country’s critical housing shortage, a problem the Liberal government is stoking by bringing in more than a million newcomers a year to Canada.

High levels of immigration bring growth, energy and confidence to our country. But they also bring problems. Mr. Fraser must fix the worst problem of all, or risk undermining the Canadian experiment.


Immigration benefits no one save the Corporate  and permanent political class, they love importing new slaves.

A smaller piece of the pie is all you’ll get for your labours meanwhile Trudeau and his cronies will line their pockets.

Reduced wages, shortages of housing, overwhelmed education, public tranit, healthcare and a fragmented low trust society are features not bugs.

They want you poor and afraid.

Trudeau sets sights on fourth election fight with Cabinet refresh

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made massive changes to his cabinet last week in a move political analysts say is more theater than substance, but the Liberal leader’s close advisers say it shows his determination to seek a fourth election victory.

With a string of recent polls showing the left-leaning Liberals trailing their right-of-center Conservative rivals after almost eight years in power, Trudeau changed or shifted three-quarters of his cabinet.

A cost-of-living crisis, a sharp rise in interest rates, and a chronic housing shortage have given the opposition Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre ammunition to attack Trudeau, accusing him of feeding price increases with profligate government spending, calling it “Justin-flation.”

GUNTER: Trudeau government’s policy for EVs just foolish

 

The Ford Motor Company announced Thursday it was pushing back its target for building electric vehicles (EVs). Instead of rolling out EVs at a rate of 600,000 a year by the end of 2023, Ford would not reach that goal until sometime in 2024 (or maybe even 2025).

It’s like Canada’s industrial policy is being made by a couple of not very bright high school kids.

A human rights group is raising concerns about the Canadian government-funded Chinese Canadian Museum as it opens to the public this month, citing anomalies during the opening ceremony and some board members’ outspoken support of the Chinese communist regime.

‘I’m disappointed’: On the Liberal back benches, there’s grumbling about Justin Trudeau’s cabinet shuffle

Conrad Black: Justin Trudeau’s ‘great liberal death wish’

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Canada is apparently revelling in its status as the world’s most politically correct country. There are undoubtedly many Canadians who are embarrassed, as I am, by the amusement that the American and British media enjoy in referring to us as a people who are obsessively preoccupied with pre-emptively and aggressively making every conceivable concession to previously unheard of sensibilities, supposedly in the interests of being inoffensive. The Trudeau government over the last eight years has been almost entirely preoccupied with three issues, each of which is an inexhaustible reservoir of potential politically correct policy blunders. It has been tireless in exploiting that rich potential for misguided policy.

Danielle Smith calls on ‘reasonable’ ministers to counter Guilbeault’s influence in cabinet

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the fact that Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault continues to spearhead the federal government’s climate agenda means the ministers around him will have to work harder to achieve a “balanced approach.”

“The fact that we have five cabinet ministers that we’re dealing with — four of them are reasonable, one of them is not,” Smith told host Catherine Cullen in an interview on CBC’s The House airing Saturday.

“I’m hoping that the four reasonable ones are able to carry the day because we can have a deal with the federal government that is good for industry, good for the environment, good for consumers, good for the planet, good for our trade partners.


Guilbeault is developing a Rasputin like prescence.

Anita Anand ousted as Defence Minister because proposed policy update too costly, say sources

A reworking of the Liberal government’s defence policy update is underway after the document proposed by National Defence and Anita Anand was deemed to be unrealistic, according to multiple defence sources.

The Prime Minister’s Office is taking more of a hand in reworking the defence policy update, the sources noted. Defence Minister Anand tried at least twice to get the update approved but the document was rejected as unrealistic and too costly.

Anand had pushed the Canadian military’s position of a significant rearmament and reequipment plan at a time when the Liberal government is trying to get spending under control and finance major initiatives such as affordable housing and a national dental care program.
