Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
GOLDSTEIN: Ford and Trudeau are eroding our democratic rights
Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s use of the Charter’s notwithstanding clause to override collective bargaining rights poses the same threat to democracy as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of the Emergencies Act to override the rights of people protesting vaccine mandates.
Trudeau is guilty as charged but someone has to reign in the teachers & public service unions. Their collective greed impoverishes everyone else.
Freeland’s fall economic update to include measures for students and workers, pledge fiscal discipline
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will release a fall economic statement Thursday that includes new money for students and low-income workers, while also delivering a message that Ottawa is committed to fiscal discipline and won’t fan the flames of inflation.
Two government sources say the update will also include new details on the Canada Growth Fund, which was first announced in the April budget as a $15-billion plan to spur investment in a net-zero emission economy.
GUNTER: Using Emergencies Act shows Liberals are out of touch
There is a link between the Rouleau Commission and the Trudeau Liberals’ internet censorship law that is currently being debated in the Senate.
The overreaction of the Trudeau government to last winter’s Freedom Convoy (which has been very much on display at Justice Paul Rouleau’s ongoing inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act), and the government’s justification for Bill C-11 both show the Liberals neither understand nor trust ordinary Canadians.
They used the Emergencies Act because they are in touch – they know damn well they are reviled by decent Canadians nationwide.
Alleged Chinese Police Stations in Canada: How Did They Get Here? And Why Aren’t They Shut Down Yet?
Of all the countries where China has purportedly set up unofficial police stations, only Ireland has so far ordered its local one to be closed. Authorities in other countries, including in Canada, have at most said they are “investigating” the issue.
This came after a Spanish NGO, Safeguard Defenders, published a report in September alerting countries like Canada to these stations on their soil. The station in Dublin, Ireland, displayed a public sign, “Fuzhou Police Overseas Service Station.” Other stations, such as the reported three in Toronto, are more subtle.
Free Bird: On Elon Musk and Twitter
In more than a decade on Twitter, Walter Kirn watched as the platform manipulated reality in real-time. Now? ‘Let the wild rumpus begin.’
Let me tell you about my strange time on Twitter, a so-called “social-media platform” of the early 21st century. In what I suspect is the increasing likelihood that digital records of our lives now will someday be erased, mislaid, or virtually composted in such a way as to make them irretrievable, the little story I’m about to tell may make little sense to future generations. It takes place during the period when the American establishment sought to control the flow of information in much the same way it once pursued dominion over resources such as land and oil.
This power grab caused a sort of virtual cold war, and I, as a consumer, a producer, and a conduit of information, got caught in it. Here is how the experience felt and how it went and a statement of what I hope will happen next, now that the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk promises a better, freer day.
If you want to see media manipulation at work closer to home read the comments at CBC announcing Trudeau’s plan to flood the nation with 500K of immigrants a year. The majority are not in favour of Justin’s plan to sell us out to his corporate friends. The immigration announcement was timed for release after a story was planted in Canadian media outlets this week pushing the lie that Canadians are overwhelmingly in favour of mass immigration. We are governed by criminals.
Special committee of MPs will see secret documents on firing of two Winnipeg infectious disease scientists
The federal government and the three main opposition parties have agreed to set up a special committee of MPs that will have unfettered access to all national security documents related to the firing of two infectious disease scientists at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg.
Government House Leader Mark Holland said Tuesday that his Conservative, Bloc Québécois and NDP counterparts have signed a memorandum of understanding that will allow MPs on an ad hoc committee to learn why Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, were dismissed in January, 2021. The committee will also see all secret documents involving the transfer of Ebola and Henipah viruses, overseen by Dr. Qiu, to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology in March, 2019.
John Robson: Canadian Delegation’s Stay at Pricey London Hotel Yet Another Show of Disdain for Taxpayers’ Money
When your government is spending nearly half a trillion dollars a year, calling a $90 billion deficit prudence, spewing $300 billion for frigates we won’t see for a decade, and taking $5 billion and three decades to fix a building, you might think six grand a night for a hotel room is a bagatelle. The prime minister certainly does, as he sneeringly refuses even to admit it was him.
Trudeau seeks to flood country with new goal of 500K immigrants per year … for your own good of course
The federal government is planning a massive increase in the number of immigrants entering Canada, with a goal of seeing 500,000 people arrive each year by 2025.
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser revealed the new targets Tuesday, saying the move is necessary to ensure Canada’s economic prosperity.
Canadian industries are facing a significant labour shortage, with about one million job vacancies across the country.
Who benefits?
Corporate Canada gets the depressed wages it wants.
Bank of Canada gets to fight inflation on the backs of the working class.
The rich will get richer off the contrived shortages citizens will face in everything from food to shelter.
Trudeau gets to play divide and conquer and hope a few votes come his way.
Be clear about this. Your country is being sold to corporate interests by the Trudeau government.
John Ivison: Chrystia Freeland’s fiscal update peers into the Truss trap
Chrystia Freeland will unveil her fall fiscal update this week and the focus will be on whether she has thrown out the Liberals’ free-spending playbook.
Two years ago, the new finance minister defended lavish program expenditure as a “fabulous opportunity to rebuild the country along more equitable, greener lines.”
Sikh independence referendum in Canada unfolds amid angry clashes, India’s condemnation
… The referendum — unofficial and binding on no one — has stirred up passions that are fuelling a spate of anti-Hindu hate incidents here in Canada, charges Manish, India’s acting high commissioner, who goes by just one name.
Attention has focused on the recent defacing of a Hindu temple in Toronto and a nearby statue of Mahatma Gandhi with pro-independence graffiti.
“They’re using Canadian territory for activities which could jeopardize India’s security and interests,” Manish said in an interview. “If the (Canadian) government can do something about (the referendum) and try to prevent it, that would be useful because it only creates a bad atmosphere and incites violence against India and Indians.”
Nothing says Multiculturalism like imported ethnic conflicts and race wars!
Trudeau’s plan to ‘freeze’ handguns spurred six months of ‘incredible’ sales
Between his two stores, firearms retailer J.R. Cox would usually manage to sell around 1,200 to 1,400 handguns to licensed Canadian firearms owners every year, at least before the federal government announced in May its plan to “freeze” handgun sales.
Blair, Lucki insist ‘request’ about Nova Scotia shooting info was not political pressure
The head of the RCMP and the former public safety minister continued to insist on Monday that there was no political interference in a police investigation into the Nova Scotia mass shooting of April 2020.
The House of Commons committee on public safety called back Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair and RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki to drill down into the details of a tense conference call between Lucki and senior staff in Nova Scotia that was held in the days after the shooting.
Jamie Sarkonak: The Liberals’ illiberal diversity plan for government purchases
If you’ve dismissed identity politics as frivolous, artificial and American, you may want to reconsider. For Canadian businesses dealing with the federal government, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is very real, and its impact can be very expensive. Not only that — it’s unfair and illiberal.
The good news is that Trudeau and his ministers will be sentenced to lengthy prison terms at the future Truth and Reconciliation hearings covering Liberal Party Acts Of Racism against Canadian Citizens.
Nearly 20 per cent of Canadians skipping meals amid rising food costs: survey
The majority of respondents in a Canada-wide survey released Monday said they are using coupons or hunting for sales to cope with increasing food costs. Nearly 20 per cent were also reducing meal sizes or skipping meals altogether in order to save money.
