Someday, Maybe, A Canadian Reckoning

According to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his chief accountant Chrystia Freeland, runaway inflation and the recession it announces are something of a godsend. Price increases, she said in a recent address, are “a reminder of why climate action is so important, and why we have to work…faster towards a green economy.” The benefits, according to this authority, are clear: More green energy, lower prices. The claim is so fatuous as to induce intellectual migraine.

Canada sends back blocked Russian turbine to Germany

Ottawa has bowed to German pressure and will return a Russian gas turbine to Germany that Moscow has deemed critical to the flow of natural gas to Europe.

Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson announced the decision in a statement Saturday. He said the Canadian government is sending back the turbine at the urging of Germany and other European countries, which are trying to replenish gas stocks for the winter months ahead.

Bowed to German pressure? Hardly. A globalist alliance of green-scammers is using the Ukraine crisis as cover to impose their great reset. Justin is simply helping a fellow conspirator to weather the coming storm.

After Oil Production, Trudeau Works To Decimate Canadian Farm Industry

“The anger over the Trudeau government’s plan to have farmers use less fertilizer hasn’t boiled over in this country like it has across the Netherlands, but it’s getting there.”

So states an article recently published in the Toronto Sun. When considering broader context of the war against carbon emissions, CAP arrive at an intriguing hypothesis:

With carbon reduction as rationalization, Justin Trudeau wields the power to control our national destiny. In the name of fossil fuel emissions, our Liberal government has the ability to destroy segments of our economy, and indeed entire industries.

Canada’s public service is collapsing. Let us count the ways

Justin Trudeau meets adoring Civil Servants – What happens when civil servants get partisan?

If you’ve needed a new passport within the last few months, good luck.

Those whose essential travel document expired within the last two years of the COVID-19 pandemic are now facing a harsh new reality when it comes to getting a renewed passport. Long lines, camping overnight outside passport offices, desperation, tears, flared tempers and the occasional fist fight.

That is if they weren’t willing to pony up hundreds of dollars, at a rate of $25 to $50 per hour, to pay someone to wait in line at the passport office for them.


But they’ll all get pay raises and increased benefits at your expense. Our politicians and predatory civil service unions have created a new ruling class.  They hate us.

Rex Murphy: Liberal ineptitude reaches a new low with the great passport drought

It’s a sad thing about Boris Johnson. His resignation/ouster I mean. Just as we were getting used to his wonderfully comic interludes — the exchange on Putin’s pecs at the G7 last week, that was a real winner — there he is, gone.

That leaves Justin Trudeau — who played backup during the Putin-pecs riff (“bare-chested horseback riding” was his killer line) — without a partner. All very sad. The world needs its chuckles.

Seniors, low-income earners among those most impacted by rising inflation, economists say

 

Canada is experiencing a rate of inflation not seen since 1983, but economists say not everyone is experiencing it in the same way.

Canada’s inflation rate — an increase in the cost of goods and services measured by the consumer price index — hit 7.7 per cent in May, according to Statistics Canada, driven by a combination of increased cost of living, supply chain issues and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Convoy organizers discussed playing ‘race card’ with Lich’s Métis heritage … So What? Trudeau’s Liberals Employ The Identity Politics Grift 24/7

Organizers of the “Freedom Convoy” discussed using their ties to Métis identity to play the “race card” as part of an overall strategy to control their public image and garner sympathy for their cause, text messages suggest.

The messages between Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, obtained by Ottawa police and entered as evidence by the Crown in Lich’s bail hearing this week, indicate how acutely aware the organizers were of the optics of the protest.

John Ivison: The rot in Canada’s dysfunctional government is coming from the top

At the outset of the pandemic, a small army of unsung public servants was overwhelmed by a Niagara of employment insurance applications, as one-quarter of the Canadian workforce found itself out of work.

Through a combination of ingenuity and dedication, they processed more than two million claims in three weeks and got money into the hands of the people who needed it.

Healthcare, Passports, Inflation, Trudeau wants it all to turn to shit at once. He’ll use it to impose his ruinous green-scam.

Toronto could spend $68M to house refugees in hotel — weeks after scathing AG report on shelter costs

And you know as I do that most of the “benefit shoppers” will end up in Toronto.

City of Toronto staff have unveiled a plan to lease a North York hotel for more than $68 million and convert it into a temporary home for refugees — just weeks after an auditor’s report slammed the city’s handling of contracts with local hotels it uses as shelters.

Coun. John Filion, who represents the area and is also vice chair of the city’s audit committee, said he only found out about the plan to lease the 17-storey Hotel Novotel from city staff less than two weeks ago. Even so, he said he’s committed to ensuring the red flags pointed out by Auditor General Beverly Romeo-Beehler last month are addressed.

“I’m all over the contract,” said Filion, who represents Ward 18, Willowdale. “I want to know everything that’s going on here.”
