Trudeau Foundation Held Not 1 but 3 Meetings in PM’s Building

Opposition MPs have raised questions about a meeting in April 2016 between the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and senior government officials in the building that houses the Prime Minister’s Office. It turns out the foundation had two more such meetings in the building, according to records seen by The Epoch Times.

Along with the April 2016 meeting, which was first reported by Montreal’s La Presse newspaper in April 2022, documents obtained through access to information indicate the foundation held another meeting in the building in January 2016 and a subsequent one in March 2017.

An application for over $133,000 in federal funding by Laith Marouf, who openly posted antisemitic remarks online, raised “no flags” within the Department of Canadian Heritage because his wife submitted the paperwork for the grant, according to an internal briefing note.

“The project was assessed which included an assessment of the public profile of the organization, the organization’s track record, the external environment and the financials,” said the Heritage Canada briefing note obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.

New Canadian Citizens Receive Maple Leaf Pins Made in China: Federal Records

Immigrants taking the Canadian citizenship oath at ceremonies are receiving maple leaf pins made in China, federal records show.

According to a House “Inquiry of Ministry” document obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, the Department of Immigration ordered a quarter-million pins from a Chinese vendor last year.

Justin Trudeau Xiangguo Qiu Keding Cheng – Everybody say Xi

An ad hoc committee of parliamentarians has begun its probe into previously withheld documents related to the firing of two infectious-disease scientists from Canada’s highest-security lab in Winnipeg, according to a report.

“Work is underway and documents are available to the committee members. They work independently,” said Mark Kennedy, communications director for Government House Leader Mark Holland, according to the Globe and Mail on June 29.

Trudeau expected to waste billions on dodgy EV battery plant for Quebec

Northvolt Is Near Deal With Canada on $5.3 Billion Battery Plant

Swedish manufacturer Northvolt AB is close to a deal to build an electric-vehicle battery plant near Montreal, a project that’s expected to be worth about C$7 billion ($5.3 billion), according to people familiar with the matter.

The Canadian and Quebec governments are preparing to give financial aid to Northvolt that may be worth billions, following a similar agreement with Volkswagen AG to build an EV battery plant in Ontario, the people said. An announcement is likely to be made in the coming weeks, though negotiators are still working on final details, they said, speaking on condition they not be identified because the matter is private.

Avi Benlolo: Liberal pledge of $100M to UNRWA makes Canada complicit in terrorism

Canada has reaffirmed its complicity in the murder of Israelis by renewing its aid to the Palestinians through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to the tune of $100 million over the next four years, in addition to an immediate $3 million in so-called emergency aid.

Trudeau the inveterate liar once spoke of a new era of transparent government. We’re still waiting.

Shortly before Parliament adjourned for the summer last week, the House of Commons ethics committee tabled the findings from its study of the federal government’s access to information system — the program through which citizens and journalists can (in theory) obtain information in the government’s possession.

The 118-page report makes 38 recommendations aimed at fixing what is widely considered a broken system. But in a dissenting opinion, the Liberal members of the committee quibbled with nine of those calls and even questioned the sincerity of the committee’s Conservative members.

Joe Oliver: Will the Liberals adopt an unhinged Senate bill discouraging fossil fuel investment?

Bill would undermine free markets, the energy sector and the Canadian economy

Sir John A. Macdonald called the Senate “a place of sober second thought,” which may have reflected his appreciation for at least occasional sobriety. But Bill S-243, the “Climate-Aligned Finance Act,” is the antithesis of thoughtful reconsideration. Its declared purpose is to regulate investment practices so as to reduce the risks both that financial institutions pose to the climate and that climate change poses to financial institutions. In fact, it would undermine free markets, with potentially debilitating consequences for financial institutions, the energy sector and the Canadian economy in general.

CBC must face WE Charity defamation lawsuit in a U.S. court, judge rules

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) must face a defamation lawsuit by a U.S. charity alleging the publicly funded news outlet repeatedly aired false claims that it deceived its donors, a Washington, D.C., federal judge has ruled.

U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss on Tuesday rejected the CBC’s bid to dismiss the case on the grounds that a Canadian court would be the more appropriate venue.

WE Charity, which once operated in Canada but is suing through its U.S. affiliate based in upstate New York, alleged in its February 2022 complaint that the CBC knowingly aired false claims that the nonprofit inflated the number of schoolhouses it had built in Kenya and deceived donors about how their money was being spent, among other things

Trudeau says opposition has to promise to believe his insane bullshit before launching new foreign interference probe

Trudeau says ‘full buy-in’ from opposition needed before launching new foreign interference probe

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government won’t be announcing any next steps on probing foreign interference until the Liberals get “full buy-in” from the opposition parties, to avoid the process devolving as it did under former special rapporteur David Johnston.

“As we put forward proposals to the other parties on how we can move forward to restore Canadians’ confidence in our abilities to fight foreign interference, we will ensure before we launch any next process, that there is full buy-in by the other parties on how it will be done, and who will do it,” Trudeau told reporters on Wednesday.

Canada welcomes largest number of immigrants in first quarter since at least 1972

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the country welcomed more than 145,000 immigrants during the first three months of the year.

That’s the highest number for a single quarter on record, since comparable data became available in 1972.

No one in the PC Party has spoken out about this assault on Canada.

Poilievre seizes the moment on Atlantic Canada carbon-tax fears

At 10 Bucks A Loaf They Better Put The Gluten Back!

On the day that the Liberal government released its climate change adaptation strategy, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was on an axe-the-carbon-tax tour of Atlantic Canada, seizing a golden political opportunity.

The four Atlantic Canadian premiers have joined together to ask Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to delay a July hike in carbon prices, because they worry about a consumer backlash. This week, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston published an op-ed insisting it will make life unaffordable.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Mélanie Joly fantasizes that Canada’s reputation is ‘very positive’

This past weekend both my daughter and I celebrated our birthdays. The teenagers staged an elaborate version of the Hunger Games in the Ontario countryside (water guns and nerf arrows, no knives), while the grownups sipped wine and tried to ignore their newsfeeds. This was a futile endeavour. Between the Wagner Group’s aborted march on Moscow, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alighting in Iceland for a meeting of Nordic leaders, and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly talking foreign policy on CTV, the news kept intruding, to the point where Suzanne Collins’ dystopian novel seemed an apt metaphor for the current state of the world.

Canada’s grocery industry concentrated in too few hands, Competition Bureau says

Canada’s grocery business is controlled by large players and needs government assistance to encourage new entrants to bring down prices, a report from Canada’s Competition Bureau says.

The report, published Tuesday, is the result of a probe that Canada’s top competition watchdog launched last year, when concern over food prices hit a fever pitch.

The bureau spent months examining many aspects of Canada’s grocery business, which is dominated by three domestic giants — Loblaws, Metro and Sobey’s owner Empire — along with foreign players like Walmart and Costco.

Nothing will come of this. Canada is the land of Milk & Honey – for Oligopolies.

Over Half of $7B in Subsidies to Support ‘Innovative Projects’ Won’t Be Recovered: Federal Records

Over half of the billions paid out under a corporate subsidy program to support “innovative projects” in Canada will not be recovered, according to a written submission to the Senate national finance committee.

In its submission on June 19, the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) told senators that more than half of the $7 billion spent under its Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) was “non-repayable.”
