According to a new Abacus Data poll, Canadians find Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a lot scarier than Conservative leadership frontrunner Pierre Poilievre.
The survey of 2,700 adult Canadians from July 22-27, released Saturday, is bad news for Trudeau and the Liberals, save for the fact the next election is three years away.
The United People of Canada, a new organization now operating out of a historic former church in downtown Ottawa, is very keen to talk about last winter’s so-called “Freedom Convoy.”
It is so keen, in fact, that TUPOC (as it calls itself) has booked two whole weeks of discussion to take place in August, in something billed as “The Freedom Convoy: A Community Conversation.”
Interviewed this week by Fox News, former federal Minister of Agriculture Gerry Ritz baled the hay regarding the Trudeau government’s attack on Canadian farmers.
“Ritz is fighting mad about Trudeau putting a 35% tariff on fertilizer because he believes nitrogen is a source of greenhouse gasses and we must eliminate those even if it means farmers can’t produce enough food to feed Canadians.”
The former Federal Agricultural Minister suggested Trudeau is “still festering over being thoroughly embarrassed and upstaged by the Freedom Convoy, and this assault on food is his latest volley to silence critics.”
The Liberal government’s proposed firearms buyback program will benefit criminals and punish law-abiding gun owners, the Conservative Party says.
In May, the government said it will introduce a mandatory firearms buyback program, paired with new legislation proposed in Bill C-21, that will tighten gun restrictions announced in 2020 that banned over 1,500 types of “assault-style” firearms.
Canada’s C.D. Howe Institute recently gathered experts in four of the seven major sectors of our economy that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is targeting to lower Canada’s industrial greenhouse gas emissions to 40%-45% below 2005 levels by 2030.
The four sectors — oil and gas, transportation, buildings and electricity — account for more than 70% of Canada’s 2020 emissions, the last year for which government data are available.
They were asked to assess how realistic Trudeau’s targets are, given that their industries will have to implement them.
Conservative lead widens as unhappiness with federal government and Prime Minister Trudeau grows
… Approval of the federal government is sagging. Today, 34% approve of the government’s performance, down 4-points this month, while disapproval has spiked to 51% (up 5 points in two weeks), the highest number ever recorded since the Trudeau government was elected in 2015 and the highest since March 2019 in the middle of the SNC Lavalin controversy.
Following up on its pledge during last year’s election, the Trudeau government published its proposal for capping greenhouse gases from the oil and gas sector.
Ottawa proposes such a cap under either of two approaches: regulations under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) to create a cap-and-trade system across oil and gas producers; or a higher carbon price and greater stringency for oil and gas facilities under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (otherwise known as the federal carbon pricing “backstop.”)
The Liberals’ decision to force farmers to reduce fertilizer use at a time of high inflation and increasing food insecurity is another example of a government that turns a blind eye to the human and economic costs of its climate policies
Justin makes it very easy to hate him and his fellow climate cultists on a personal level.
Delivery of a Nord Stream 1 gas turbine to Germany from Canada after maintenance was not in line with the contract, Gazprom’s senior manager said on Friday, stepping up criticism of manufacturer Siemens Energy.
The comments signalled a deepening of a row in which Russia has cited turbine problems as its reason for cutting gas supply via Nord Stream 1 — its main gas link to Europe — to just 20 per cent of capacity from Wednesday.
Vitaly Markelov, Gazprom’s deputy chief executive, also said Russia had complained repeatedly to Siemens Energy about problems with other turbines.
Oh oh! Looks like Justin is gonna lose some PQ jobs!
A senior Mountie told a public inquiry on Thursday that federal lawyers advised him not to disclose a call he received from the RCMP Commissioner that he says appeared to be motivated by a desire to use the Nova Scotia mass shooting to boost support for Liberal gun-control measures.
Chief Superintendent Chris Leather, testifying for a second day, said he believes political inference was behind RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki’s insistence that police release details on the guns used in the April, 2020, mass shooting that killed 22 people.
Canada wants to cut fertilizer emissions, but farmers say it could result in less food
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s push to accelerate the fight against climate change is sparking a showdown with the nation’s farmers, who say it’s threatening food supplies — and their profits.
The government is proposing to cut emissions from fertilizer 30% by 2030 as part of a plan to get to net zero in the next three decades. But growers are saying that to achieve that, they may have to shrink grain output significantly at a time when the world is scrambling for more supplies. Also at stake is the estimated C$10.4 billion ($8.08 billion) that farmers could lose this decade from the reduced output.
HALIFAX – A senior Mountie testified Thursday he believes political inference was behind RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki’s determination to have police release details on the guns used in the Nova Scotia mass shooting.
Chief Supt. Chris Leather made the comment at the public inquiry into the rampage that took 22 lives on April 18-19, 2020, during cross-examination by Tom MacDonald, a lawyer who represents two family members of victims.
In a corporate plan for an anti-racist “systems change,” Canada’s immigration ministry says it isn’t fair to treat people equally regardless of background. Instead, people should be treated according to their level of innate privilege.
In other words, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has embraced critical race theory — or diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), as it’s called in practice — with a plan called Anti-Racism Strategy 2.0. It openly signals a shift to the ideological left.
The criminally insane are running the asylum.

Farmers in Saskatchewan, a province that has nearly half of Canada’s arable land, say production will fall sharply if they are forced to use less fertilizer and pay increasingly high carbon taxes on fuel.
The government is moving ahead with its goal, first announced in December 2020, to reduce absolute levels of greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer use by 30 percent below 2020 levels by 2030. Specifically, it aims to reduce nitrous oxide emissions associated with synthetic nitrogen fertilizer use.
Three letters to the editor in the Toronto Sun Wednesday all raised the same invalid points in defending Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax.
They said a recent report by the Parliamentary Budget Officer that found most households in Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba will be paying more in carbon taxes than they get in rebates between 2021 and 2030 was flawed.
