The U.S. is cracking down on Chinese ‘police stations’ with a tool that Justin Trudeau doesn’t want because it’ll hurt the China grift

American authorities used a legal tool that doesn’t exist in Canada: a foreign agents registry

The United States has launched a crackdown on so-called Chinese police stations operating on its soil using a legal mechanism that doesn’t exist in Canada, at least not yet — a registry of foreign agents.

U.S. authorities this week announced they had shut down what they referred to as a Chinese police station in lower Manhattan.

The criminal charges they laid were against two American citizens who allegedly failed to register their work on behalf of the People’s Republic of China.

Trudeau plays identity politics with our security in order to protect the China grift.

Why is Justin Trudeau sowing confusion about a foreign influence registry?

Asked this week about the need for Ottawa to create a foreign influence registry, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the internment of Japanese-Canadians in the Second World War and warned against the dangers of creating “registries of foreigners in Canada.”

Sabrina Maddeaux: Trudeau’s cult of personality keeps knives out of his back — for now

It seems an unwritten custom that, each calendar year, Canadians must observe at least one Justin Trudeau vacation scandal. After a certain point, they start to blur together into an amorphous cloud of exorbitantly expensive stays, questionable judgement and MPs yelling at each other about it during Question Period.

The federal public servants’ strike is backing Ottawa into a corner

The strike by the Public Service Alliance of Canada – with more than 150,000 members, it accounts for nearly half of all federal government employees – is being described as the largest in Canada since … the 1991 PSAC strike.

Of course, a lot has changed since then. In 1991, the federal government employed roughly 218,000 people (that’s the core public service, not counting agencies such as the RCMP or Crown corporations such as the CBC and Canada Post) for a population of just over 28 million: roughly one federal public servant for every 129 citizens. As of 2022, it employed about 336,000 for a population of just under 39 million: a ratio of one to 116.

VW battery plant’s $13 billion in subsidies raises questions about Canada’s EV ambitions

Volkswagen AG caused a stir in March when it said it had chosen St. Thomas, Ont., as the location for its first battery plant outside Europe. Decades had passed since Canada had enticed a major new global automaker to build out manufacturing operations here.

But the revelations this week that the federal government had lured VW with subsidies that could reach $13 billion, possibly higher, cast the news in a different light. The subsidy package was carefully calibrated to match what Volkswagen would have received in the United States, but its sheer size has raised questions about the feasibility of building an electric vehicle supply chain in Canada.

Trudeau says handing out billions to Volkswagen ‘not a waste of money’, calls out Poilievre for lack of support

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his government’s move to spend as much as $13 billion into a new battery plant for auto giant Volkswagen and set the willingness to subsidize green manufacturing as a major difference between his party and the Conservatives.

You know in your heart this will be the Mother of all Boondoggles.

Ottawa betting big with $13B subsidy to secure Volkswagen deal. Here’s why

There’s nothing small about the $13 billion in subsidies that Canada has promised Volkswagen to secure the automaker’s first battery plant outside of Europe, but it remains to be seen whether the deal is enough to kick start the manufacturing sector’s future.

The rising sticker shock of establishing a manufacturing base for electric vehicles is, depending on who you ask, either a worthy investment to secure the next generation of auto assembly or a sign that Canada should consider giving up the subsidy race and not worry so much about the sector in general.

GTA rents hit record $3,000, creating a ‘very alarming’ situation … Trudeau’s mass immigration policy is paying off BIGLEY for his corporate cronies

Average rents in purpose-built apartments broke the $3,000 barrier for the first time in the first quarter of this year — the sixth straight quarter in which Toronto area rents have seen double-digit year-over-year increases, according to Urbanation.

The situation is “very alarming,” even though rent growth has moderated, said Shaun Hildebrand, president of the market research firm, on Thursday. Rents slowed to 13.8 per cent annual growth in the first quarter from 15 per cent in the final quarter of last year and 17 per cent in the second quarter of 2022. The figures apply to purpose-built apartments constructed since 1985.

Trudeau is the woke weak link in the West’s defences

The Canadian prime minister has arrogantly thumbed his nose at the rest of the free world for years

Say what you want about former US President Donald Trump, but his insistence that all 31 Nato member states meet a 2 per cent target of GDP spending on defence was wise. This simple, straightforward request ensured each member was firmly committed to playing an equal role in this important military alliance. They would defend the safety and security of democratic countries from rogue states and totalitarian nations as a strong, united and cohesive unit.

One Nato member apparently isn’t willing to pull up its bootstraps when it comes to meeting the defence spending target. Embarrassingly, it’s my country – Canada.

‘A perfect example of what not to do’: Former U.S. envoy on Trudeau’s reported NATO comments

A former U.S. envoy to Ottawa says he’s concerned about what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reportedly said about Canadian defence spending.

David Jacobson, who served as Barack Obama’s ambassador from 2009 to 2013, says a recent Washington Post report could prove to be a setback for future U.S.-Canada relations.

The Post says Trudeau privately told NATO officials that Canada would never meet the military alliance’s spending target of two per cent of GDP.

Trudeau freeloads on Canadians, on his rich friends for vacations and foundation donations, it’s his lifestyle so its no wonder his neglectful governance reflects that.

He and his woke wrecking crew are destroying the CAF. That desecration will likely end up his legacy.

GOLDSTEIN: Our climate emperor has no clothes

Trudeau Lies About Report Saying He Told NATO Canada Will Never Meet Military Spending Target

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has responded to an American media report alleging that he privately told NATO officials that Canada will never meet the military alliance’s defence-spending target for its member countries.

The prime minister was asked by reporters on April 19, after leaving question period in the House of Commons, to confirm or deny the comments attributed to him in a report by The Washington Post published the same day.

Who’s to blame for the ethics commissioner quitting? Pierre Poilievre’s MPs, say the Liberals

OTTAWA—Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are the reason the interim ethics commissioner quit, Liberal House Leader Mark Holland said Thursday as the government remained on the defensive over its ethical track record.

Martine Richard’s appointment to the post drew criticism late last month after it was revealed she’s the sister-in-law of Liberal cabinet minister Dominic Leblanc.

Still, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended the choice, noting she joined the office under the previous Conservative government, was second-in-command and there are procedures in place to guard from conflicts.

Team Trudeau has learned nothing from Aga Khan debacle

At seven-and-a-half years in office with no short- or medium-term prospect of removal, Justin Trudeau can already safely claim a reasonably impressive tenure as prime minister of Canada. At this point it’s entirely possible he could win a fourth consecutive election, which would put him in rare company indeed. That would be all the more remarkable due to his unique combination of terrible political instincts and limitless confidence to follow those instincts wherever they lead him.

Feds can’t say which regulations to cut greenhouse gas emissions are working: audit

The federal government needs to start taking stock of whether its climate-change regulations are actually cutting greenhouse-gas emissions or not, Environment Commissioner Jerry DeMarco said Thursday

DeMarco published the results of a new audit looking at the impact of five specific climate change policies, which found that Canada doesn’t know how much those regulations are contributing to any reduction in emissions.

Freeland says Ottawa’s offer to public sector workers is a fair one that won’t burden taxpayers

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Thursday that the federal government’s offer to striking public sector workers is a fair one that wouldn’t burden the treasury with unnecessarily high wage costs at a time of economic uncertainty.

Speaking to reporters at a nuclear power plant in Pickering, Ont., Freeland said the federal government has to remember the “hardworking people of Canada” who pay public sector wages.
