Carson Jerema: Justin Trudeau’s cultural revolution

Since at least the time of the Pearson Government, one of the Liberal party’s central purposes has been to mould Canada into its own image, remaking national symbols to reflect the party while at the same time populating the civil service and public institutions with Liberal loyalists (hello Trudeau Foundation). Today, the Justin Trudeau Liberals are not merely content to put a party stamp on the country. They behave as if they want to, and as if they believe they can, remake society entirely by removing symbols and references to the past.

Jamie Sarkonak: The CRTC is coming for the internet, just as Trudeau intended

Not even two weeks have passed since the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) was given expanded powers over the internet, and it’s already labelling valid points of criticism as “myths.”

It’s a bad sign. If the organization tasked with regulating online content is playing rhetorical games in response to critics in the early days, we can hardly trust it to be honest when it builds its regulatory framework.

It’s Justin Trudeau’s government machinery that broke down in Chong case

The government’s story about who knew that Chinese diplomats were targeting a Canadian MP has gone back and forth. Each time, the upshot is the same: It fell through the cracks.

After The Globe and Mail reported last week that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service had learned in 2021 that a Chinese diplomat was involved in efforts to target Conservative MP Michael Chong’s relatives in China because of his criticism of Beijing, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said CSIS had not reported that information to him, or to higher-ups outside the spy service.

Poor planning and a ‘chaotic environment’: Internal report reveals Trudeau government’s blunders during the fall of Kabul

OTTAWA—Canada’s response to the 2021 collapse of the Afghan government was dogged by a failure to anticipate the rapid advance of the Taliban, poor policy and operational planning within the public service, and a lack of political direction and co-ordination from a Liberal government that was in election mode, says an internal government report released to the Star.

A redacted copy of the report, dated 2022 and released under access-to-information laws, found there are “many lessons” to be learned from the Afghan crisis response. The “after action” investigation was led by Privy Council Office (PCO) deputy clerk Nathalie Drouin and a small group of senior public servants with the help of an unnamed outside adviser.

GOLDSTEIN: Expelling a diplomat won’t end China’s interference

Given that the Trudeau government ignored years of warnings that Beijing’s dictators were increasingly threatening Canadians of Chinese origin who were speaking out in Canada about China’s human rights abuses, it would be naive to think they’re going to stop now.

GUNTER: Liberals’ believe they alone must combat ‘misinformation’

If you were asked to name the biggest source of misinformation in our country, you might well name the media. Or advertisers. (Does that cream really make the “fine lines of aging” disappear?)

Foreign hackers might get a nod. And social media.

Why would anyone think the Liberals want to control the media? Oh, I can think of a few reasons…

Wait, so the allegations in The Globe story were true? Our sources were not partisan coup-plotters? The Globe’s reporters and editors are not credulous half-wits?

Or what else are we to conclude from the Trudeau government’s decision to expel a Chinese diplomat, Zhao Wei, shortly after The Globe reported he had been gathering information on family members of Conservative MP Michael Chong, a prominent critic of the Beijing regime, with the intent of making “an example” of him.

Quebec government rejects Trudeau’s immigration plan, fears decline of French

MONTREAL – Canada’s plan to increase immigration is stoking fears among Quebec’s political class, who say the changes would reduce the province’s influence in the country and make it harder to protect French.

Provincial legislature members today adopted a motion declaring Canada’s plan incompatible with the protection of French in Quebec and that the province must have complete control over its immigration.

Premier François Legault said Tuesday that Quebec would not accept a big rise in immigration because of the need to properly integrate, house and educate newcomers.

MPs vote to launch study into China’s ‘intimidation campaign’ against Michael Chong

OTTAWA – The House of Commons has unanimously agreed that a committee should strike a study into the “intimidation campaign” allegedly orchestrated by a now-expelled Chinese diplomat against Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family.

Debate on the motion to see the Procedure and House Affairs Committee (PROC) take on this probe took priority in the House over the last few days, after House Speaker Anthony Rota found that Chong’s parliamentary privileges were breached as a result of the alleged targeting. The vote was held after question period on Wednesday, and passed with all-party support.

Beijing is in Canada’s face, and that requires us to push back. But how?

There has been much discussion of late about Chinese interference, both in our democratic processes and directed at specific individuals. In both cases, concern has arisen because that information came from leaked intelligence reports. While no one has seen the leaked material, however, it is clear that Chinese activity has taken place – confirmed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and by testimony before a House committee.

All three of Trudeau’s national security advisers can’t recall receiving CSIS report on MP threats

All three national security and intelligence advisers who served Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2021 told Global News that they do not recall receiving a top secret intelligence assessment prepared that year about Beijing targeting Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family in Hong Kong.

The development raises yet more questions about how the report from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), which was allegedly sent to the desk of the prime minister’s top national security official, somehow fell through the cracks.

Laughable for Liberals to say they ‘won’t tolerate’ Chinese interference

“Persona non grata.” In diplomatic circles, those three words are the equivalent of excommunication. Under Article 9 of the 1963 Vienna Convention for Diplomatic Relations, to which Canada is a party, a country can declare any member of another nation’s diplomatic corps persona non grata “at any time and without having to explain its decision.” It is considered “the most damning form of censure a country can bestow on foreign diplomats.”

William Watson: The unfortunate example of Hillary Clinton — Populist trumps unpopular

Justin Trudeau has begun to grate on people the way Secretary Clinton did in 2016

A prime minister celebrating 30 years since coming to office, 60 years since first being elected to Parliament and 90 years on the planet, and a former American first lady and secretary of state who lost one presidential campaign to Barack Obama and a second to Donald Trump may not be the most dynamic duo with which to prove your political party is still leading-edge. It’s especially a problem when the people you put up to interview them — François-Philippe Champagne in the case of former prime minister Jean Chrétien and Chrystia Freeland for former first lady and secretary of state Hillary Clinton — look like they don’t really belong in the same league, even after several years in government.

Canada’s worst decade for real economic growth since the 1930s

Over the last ten years real GDP per capita grew just 0.8 per cent a year on average in this country, its lowest rate of growth since the 1930s. Total GDP has been growing because of our growing population. But GDP per person has been essentially stagnant. This extended period of slow growth has widened the gap between per capita growth in the United States and Canada, demonstrating that the causes of our slumping growth are domestic, not external.

John Robson: Self-Congratulatory Tone at Liberal Convention Belies the Grim Reality

Apparently it’s grand being a Liberal in Canada. You’re the best, you know it, and you want the world to see you dance before your own tabernacle. Which might not be the best approach just now.

It doubtless seems weird to emerge from the heady atmosphere of the Shaw Centre to a lecture on political tactics from me, of all people. Ditto on humility. But according to the Angus Reid “tracker,” Trudeau’s net approval rating is now minus 20 so those sunny ways aren’t casting much warmth.
