Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday that Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino should resign over his handling of convicted killer Paul Bernardo’s controversial prison transfer.
CBC News reported Tuesday that Mendicino’s office knew for months that one of Canada’s most high-profile murderers would be moved by Correctional Service Canada (CSC) to a medium-security institution.
They say everyone has a “tell” — and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a big one. You know his political future is flashing before his eyes when he starts accusing broad swaths of the Canadian population of being deplorable, reactionary monsters.
He did so throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, ramped up his rhetoric during the 44th federal election and was ultimately rebuked by Ontario Justice Paul Rouleau in the Emergencies Act report for “further embittering” Freedom Convoy protesters with inflammatory name-calling.
Liberals …
Hmm so kids can pick their gender and pronouns, consent to irreversible medical transitioning involving puberty blockers, hormone therapy, top surgery and bottom surgery, but they shouldn't be allowed to protest because they're too young? The logic is strong with this one.🤦♀️ pic.twitter.com/KxSEPICMAL

CSIS director David Vigneault said the spy agency deliberately sent a May, 2021, note warning about China’s targeting of a Conservative MP and his relatives to then-public safety minister Bill Blair’s office and intended for this information to reach the minister because it was considered of high importance.
The testimony from the head of CSIS appeared to be an effort to defend the spy agency as a Commons committee probes why Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong wasn’t warned of the 2021 intelligence collected by CSIS for two years.
A Liberal Cabinet Minister lying! Unheard of.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s surprise visit to Kyiv was hosted in part by Andriy Melnyk, a controversial Ukrainian figure recently recalled from Germany after he defended Stepan Bandera, a Second World War Ukrainian nationalist whose forces participated in the Holocaust.
Now that David Johnston has stepped down, the serious work of putting in place a commission of inquiry can begin.
Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc embarrassed himself by saying the Liberals were never opposed to a public inquiry. But at this stage, who cares?
The important thing is that Canadians will finally have a chance to know what really happened with Chinese government interference in our elections.
He’s a delusional wee tyrant, far too much the narcissist to ever consider stepping down.
So it looks like there’s going to be a public inquiry into Chinese communist meddling in our elections after all. At least Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc is hinting as much. Who saw that one coming?
Not David Johnston, evidently. He finally stepped down from his untenable position, which I greet with the same grace he exhibited in announcing it. Namely in resigning as depressingly ordinary rapporteur he blamed “the highly partisan atmosphere around my appointment and work,” not the real conflict of interest that made him unsuitable from the word go and the shabby initial report that made his position untenable.
It was the right decision for David Johnston to resign from whatever his job was, whoever’s decision it was.
Still, amongst the things for which there will have to be a reckoning when this is all over is why he was appointed in the first place. Mr. Johnston himself never seemed to understand what he had walked into or why he should not have walked into it – to the last, in his letter of resignation, he put the opposition down to the “highly partisan atmosphere” – but the Prime Minister and his people did. They appointed him not in spite of his unsuitability, but because of it.
Parental rights are now a “far right” political issue, according to Justin Trudeau.
It may be that the prime minister didn’t mean to disparage millions of parents by lumping them in with other far-right radicals like white supremacists and fascists, but that he did so speaks to his tendency to shoot from the lip.
There are no plans to invite Canada to a security pact between Australia, the UK, and the United States focused on defence technology cooperation, says U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby.
The trilateral security pact, AUKUS, was formed in 2021 and has been seen as a way to counter China’s growing military presence in the Indo-Pacific region.
I suspect Canada is excluded because we are riddled with ChiCom assests.
The old saw about crisis management is that the goal is to figure out where the crisis ends and get there as quickly as possible.
But when Liberal cabinet minister Dominic LeBlanc met reporters on the Saturday morning after the resignation of David Johnston to talk about next steps, he was back where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was three months ago, on March 6.
Canadian government research obtained through Access to Information shows Canadians rate the cabinet’s climate program as ‘incompetent, unfair, and lacking transparency.’
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the research does not mention Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault by name but reveals widespread distrust of the government’s environmental policies.
It’s not a “climate plan”, it’s thieving thuggery.
As much as the parliamentary investigation into food inflation is more about political artifice, the Competition Bureau’s study on the food industry announced last fall is the more interesting exercise.
Since last year, the Bureau has been heavily criticized for not upholding a decent level of competition in the food industry and helping consumers cope with higher food prices. The food retail industry is essentially controlled by a handful of players: Loblaw, Empire/Sobeys, Metro, Walmart and Costco sell well over 85% of all the food we buy in Canada, and the Competition Bureau did nothing to prevent that from happening.
"Court documents reported back in 2021 unveiled emails between high-ranking industry executives, including some at Maple Leaf Foods, suggest an intention to synchronize meat prices, resembling the alleged coordination of bread prices. That’s right, meat. Because of the pandemic,… https://t.co/w0Y603yBfC

10 Dollar Butter is pure Cartel.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may not be a particularly moral creature, but he is smart. Having watched part of Canada catch fire and burn for six weeks – no doubt largely at the hands of arsonists – he swiftly blamed the situation on ‘climate change’ and proposed an extension of the carbon tax to ‘fix it’.
Smart? Hardly. Scummy? Yes. Trudeau is also using the carbon tax to fund the Ukraine war.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused Canadians to have an “increased distrust of government and science,” according to a report by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).
The report, based on questionnaires with 2,088 Canadians and 16 focus groups nationwide, noted that less than one quarter (22 percent) of those surveyed said they were more likely to trust federal agencies since the pandemic.
It’s what happens when you’re governed by Liberal Party Grifters.
Federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland claims to be worried about the latest interest rate hike by the Bank of Canada and the effects it will have on inflation.
“I know a lot of people are struggling,” Freeland told the Senate finance committee the day the Bank announced it was raising the rate from 4.5% to 4.75%. “A lot of people saw that and said, ‘Oh, what am I going to do with my mortgage?’”
