Justin Trudeau will be remembered for his ‘leadership’ — not ‘the trash and the rumours,’ Brian Mulroney says

OTTAWA — It wasn’t the flattering words, but the bitter context, that made Brian Mulroney’s introduction of Justin Trudeau on Monday night an extraordinary political moment.

Far from Parliament Hill, in Nova Scotia the former Progressive Conservative prime minister hailed Trudeau for his “leadership” of Canada through repeated crises, saying that’s what history will remember, not “trivia and the trash and the rumours that make the rounds” in Ottawa.


Mulroney: nothing wrong accepting envelopes of $1,000 bills

OTTAWA – Former prime minister Brian Mulroney cited the brazen public nature of his cash transactions with Karlheinz Schreiber as evidence today that there was nothing untoward in their business arrangement.

Mulroney told a public inquiry that he accepted an envelope stuffed with 75 one-thousand-dollar bills from Schreiber at a hotel at Montreal’s Mirabel Airport and then climbed into a car with his RCMP escort with the envelope in full view.

Grifters or what?

Tories Say Sustainable Jobs Act Will Cause Significant Job Loss

The Conservative Party says the Liberal government’s recently introduced Sustainable Jobs Act will “kill thousands of jobs” across Canada as it aims to move oil- and gas-sector workers into green-energy jobs over the coming years.

Conservative MP and natural resources critic Shannon Stubbs said in a statement on June 19 that the proposed Bill C-50—which has been referred to as the federal “just transition” legislation—is a “job-killing plan” that will displace “450,000 direct and indirect jobs” across the country.

Canada Needs to Convene a “9/11 Commission” on China’s Election Interference

It is in America’s interest to find out the salacious details of foreign interference in democratic elections, especially when it occurs in our northern neighbor.

Unless its wildfires cause the skies in New York City to turn the color of a sci-fi dystopia, Americans tend not to think much about Canada. But you know who has not forgotten about our neighbor to the north? China’s ruler, Xi Jinping.

As part of China’s unfriendly competition with the West, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) chairman appears to have overseen a far-reaching and complicated effort to advance Beijing’s interests through direct interference in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 federal elections.

RCMP confirms it is investigating obstruction of SNC-Lavalin prosecution by Trudeau and Cabinet officials

OTTAWA – Today, Democracy Watch released the response it received recently to its Access to Information Act (ATIA) filed with the RCMP on July 27, 2022. The RCMP’s response letter, dated May 25, 2023, confirms it is investigating the allegation that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, former Finance Minister Bill Morneau, some members of their staff, and former Clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick, obstructed justice by pressuring then-Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to stop the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin in 2018.

The RCMP was repurposed to protect the LPC. No one will be charged.

Trudeau’s Carpetbagging Bro Dominic Barton & McKinsey pitched Purdue Pharma Canada on plan to get rich on Opioid addiction in 2014, memo reveals

McKinsey pitched Purdue Pharma Canada on plan to boost opioid sales in 2014, memo reveals

Global consulting giant McKinsey & Co., under the leadership of Dominic Barton, pitched Purdue Pharma (Canada) in 2014 on how it could more aggressively market and boost sales of OxyContin and other highly addictive opioids to Canadians, according to a confidential memo obtained by The Globe and Mail.

McKinsey & Co. is facing a class-action lawsuit from the B.C. government, which Ottawa plans to join, that accuses the firm of engaging in reckless marketing campaigns to boost opioid sales, placing the Liberal government at odds with a company it has relied on for more than $100-million in contract work since 2015.

Barton is the same sociopath behind Trudeau’s mass immigration scam, he was a founding member of Century 100 and is also a China Class 5th columinist.

Liberals must do more to ‘safeguard’ democracy from foreign interference: O’Toole

Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole says as more reports of alleged foreign interference have surfaced, including ones involving himself, the Liberals and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have not done enough to “safeguard” democracy.

That’s because Trudeau and the Liberals work for the CCP.

Trudeau hosts a gong show: Growing list of ministerial missteps undermines confidence in government

Ottawa’s favourite game show – gong show, some might say – is about to begin. And now, here he is, your host for the evening, Justin Trudeau.

“Good evening everyone and welcome to Name That Minister. Let’s see if our panel can guess their identity.

“Who said that he was shocked that serial killer Paul Bernardo was being transferred from maximum to medium-security detention, though his office knew in advance?”

How can Justin Trudeau’s public safety minister keep his job amid so much controversy? What you need to know about Marco Mendicino

OTTAWA—Liberal Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino does not like to lose — or be thought of as a loser.

That much was clear when at the centre of jokes at a dinner last weekend about being shuffled out of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, he mock-charged the stage to defend his honour.

Jamie Sarkonak: Identity politics baked into new Liberal ‘sustainable’ jobs plan

Liberal jobs programs, business investment pools and economic plans all have one thing in common: they are obsessed with the skin colour and sexuality of the workforce.

On Thursday, Minister of Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson tabled Bill C-50, or the Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act. The bill provides a legislative backdrop to the feds’ broader sustainable jobs plan, which (if not obvious from the name) is geared at boosting job growth in the low-carbon sector. If passed, Bill C-50 would require the Minister of Natural Resources to make five-year jobs plans, adhere to various reporting requirements and assemble an advisory council to guide the execution of the plan.

GOLDSTEIN: Ex-spy chief warned of China’s interference in 2010 — he was almost fired

Thirteen years ago, the then newly-appointed director of the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service warned Canadians about the growing threat of interference by China.

It almost ended Richard Fadden’s career. It’s also why he would be an excellent choice to head a public inquiry into foreign interference today.

Taxpayers better brace for Trudeau’s two carbon taxes

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a summer special for taxpayers: A second carbon tax.

On July 1, the Trudeau government’s second carbon tax will take effect. Trudeau buried the tax in fuel regulations that require producers to reduce the carbon content of their fuels. If companies can’t meet the requirements, they’ll be forced to buy credits. Those costs will be passed on to consumers through higher pump prices.

NATO vs. Canada, its nicest truant

Canada is a committed, agreeable ally. So why, NATO countries are wondering, is it not getting up to speed on spending targets?

BRUSSELS/OTTAWA — NATO loves Canada — but hates its defense spending.

The North American country has a reputation within the West’s military alliance as an agreeable partner: Reliably committed to transatlantic relations, never obstructionist, and, well, just pleasant to work with.

But with a war on, that’s not enough.

Addressing an audience in Montreal, Senator Victor Oh said he is planning to rent buses to transport up to 3,000 people to Ottawa for an upcoming demonstration against proposed legislation to create a foreign agent registry aimed at combatting foreign influence.

“We need to rent buses to [transport people] from Toronto.

The video’s caption said Oh spoke “yesterday,” indicating the event was held on June 12.

Michael Higgins: The Liberal failure on crime has left a trail of broken victims

The Trudeau government has never been tough on crime; it’s just not in its DNA. But after eight years of government soft-pedalling on violent crimes and drugs, Canadians have clearly lost faith in the Liberals to protect them.

Overwhelmingly, Canadians are fearful of “catch-and-release” criminals causing more mayhem while on bail; drug dealers bringing misery into their neighbourhoods; and a government that is not listening to the concerns of the public.
