Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

In recent days, eye-popping reports about Canada’s unusable tanks and about its over reliance on outside contractors came to light, underscoring the incompetence of the Justin Trudeau Liberal regime in Ottawa.

First, Ukraine is asking countries with German-made Leopard 2 tanks to donate them so it can mount a critically important counter-offensive this spring to drive the Russians out of their country. Kyiv needs 300 of these battle tanks, and nations are stepping up, but Canada, with 82 tanks, has not responded yet. Reports by the Canadian Forces College in 2018 and 2022 say the tanks have been neglected and are useless.

Ipsos Public Affairs polling conducted exclusively for Global News suggests a growing proportion of Canadians (22 per cent) are “completely out of money” to the degree that they would not be able to pay more for household necessities.

That figure is up three percentage points from similar polling conducted in October and rises to 28 per cent among women.

HAMILTON—Faced with warnings of a possible recession, stubbornly high inflation and still-rising interest rates, the Liberal government sought Tuesday to reassure Canadians it will keep its big-ticket promises as well as get its fiscal house in order.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau breezed past reporters, refusing to take questions on his way into a daylong federal cabinet meeting where the economy dominated the agenda, on the morning after a few dozen anti-government protesters bellowed, honked and shot off fireworks over the Hamilton hotel where the Liberal ministers gathered.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government’s approach to building and maintaining the ArriveCan app through contracts and subcontracts tied to a two-person staffing firm is “illogical” and he has asked for a review by the Clerk of the Privy Council.

The Globe and Mail reported Monday that GCstrategies – the two person Ottawa-area staffing company that has received millions of dollars in federal commissions on IT projects – subcontracted its work on the ArriveCan app to six other companies, including multinationals such as BDO and KPMG.

Military procurement has been problematic for decades in Canada. There are several complex factors behind this sad state of affairs, but one simple reason is the irresponsibility of politicians. The Trudeau government’s belated decision to buy 88 F-35 fighter airplanes to replace our aging CF-18s, eight years after promising to choose a less expensive model, provides an egregious example of this problem.

… Canada’s outlook is grim. The Business Council of British Columbia noted that the OECD has predicted that Canada “will be the worst performing advanced economy over 2020 to 2030.” It added that Canada will have the worst economic growth among advanced economies from 2030 to 2060. “In other words, Canada will be dead last not only for the next decade, but also for the three decades after that.”
