Motorists left stranded on the road as soaring gas prices run tanks on empty

TORONTO – As many motorists fill their tanks in increments in an effort to save on gas, some are being left stranded or forced to abandon their vehicles as soaring gas prices leave their wallets and tanks empty.

Paula Guitar, who was on her way to Newmarket, Ont. to care for her ill mother, told CTV News that she ran out of gas in the middle of her drive. Guitar ended up using her actual guitar to busk for enough funds to get to her destination.

“A lot of people are driving on $20 worth of gas,” Brian Patterson, the president of the Ontario Safety League, told CTV News. “When they run out of gas … you can imagine today on the 400 somebody runs out of gas in the middle lane.”

Trudeau’s narrative on the use of the Emergencies Act continues to crumble

When the Trudeau government invoked the Emergencies Act to quash the peaceful Freedom Convoy, they made a number of wild claims to rationalize its use of the never-before-used act. Since then, Trudeau’s narrative about why the government needed these unprecedented powers has crumbled – the convoy was not funded by foreign donors or terrorists, the protesters had nothing to do with the arson attempt in Ottawa and to this date – not a single police force has confirmed the government’s claim that the police requested the government to invoke the act.

Rex Murphy: For the sake of his integrity, Marco Mendicino should resign

I have today a grim and possibly, in the current moment, arcane subject: the doctrine of ministerial responsibility in the parliamentary system. It is possible, I suppose, to have chosen another topic even more leaden and esoteric, one guaranteed to drive readers away and usher them to the much superior enlightenments of Lord Black. Such as, for example, the CBC’s concept of comedy.

GOLDSTEIN: Marco Mendicino is ‘Yes Minister’ of Trudeau’s cabinet

In every government, there are cabinet ministers who cause us to roll our eyes in disbelief pretty much every time they open their mouths. In Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, for many Canadians, that’s Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino.

$900 to gas up an RV: The eye-watering cost to fill your tank in Canadian cities right now

No matter where you live, if you own a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine, you are currently getting walloped with the highest gasoline and diesel prices ever seen in the history of Canadian motoring. Mere months ago, the prospect of $2-per-litre gasoline was unspeakable. Now, major Canadian cities are spending weeks on end with prices north of $2.25.

Link fixed.

Trudeau Foundation accused of delaying sex harassment lawsuit, insisting it be heard in Quebec

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation has twice sought a change of venue for a trial into allegations by a former foundation scholar who says she was sexually harassed by her assigned mentor, pressured to keep it quiet and left unsupported and unbelieved.

Local gun club members feel targeted by new gun bill

Members of a gun club in Toronto fear the impacts of a new federal gun bill.

“We’re obviously nervous,” said Graham Brown, president of the Toronto Revolver Club, which has more than 200 members.

“The biggest effect will be that it stops the transfer of handguns between legitimate sporting participants. And that’s a big worry for us.”

Mendicino was ‘misunderstood’ saying cops asked for Emergencies Act: deputy minister

… In April, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino told the same committee that after weeks of blockades in downtown Ottawa and at several border crossings, the government was in regular consultation with law enforcement including the RCMP.

“The advice we received was to invoke the Emergencies Act,” Mendicino said at the time.

But Stewart said Mendicino didn’t mean police directly asked for the law to be used.

“I believe that the intention that he was trying to express was that law enforcement asked for the tools that were contained in the Emergencies Act,” Stewart said.

Handgun sales are ‘insane’ after Ottawa unveiled plan to ban them, store owners say

OTTAWA –A week after the federal government proposed to freeze handgun sales and bring in tougher measures to curb illegal gun violence, gun vendors say handguns are flying off the shelves.

“It’s insane,” said an employee at a York Region firearms store.

Sales are “going crazy,” said Sylvia Shi, manager of Solely Outdoors in Markham.

“It’s very busy. We sold over a couple of hundred handguns in three days,” she said, adding business has “more than tripled” the usual pace, before politely saying she had no more time to speak.

Should Liberal Transportation Minister Omar Alghabra Be Ejected From Canada?

Canada maintains the most restrictive rules for travel in the world. Except, perhaps, for China and North Korea. CBC and CTV have not a problem with it. Ditto for Globe & Mail, Toronto Star and Montreal Gazette. In post-modern Canada, whatever government dictate, media promote. Or at the very least, rationalize on their behalf.

Who is in charge of of locking Canadians inside our country? Ultimately, it is Justin Trudeau. Next to him is the person he appointed as overseer of national transportation, Liberal Cabinet member Omar Alghabra.

Elections watchdog says it should be illegal to spread misinformation about voting

Canada’s chief electoral officer has issued a wide-ranging report on the last two federal elections that calls for action to crack down on hate groups, improved regulation of third parties and new laws to make it illegal to spread disinformation about elections and voting.

Unless you’re a liberal.

Sabrina Maddeaux: The indefensible Liberal plan to search your phone on a whim

This week, Toronto’s Pearson International Airport went viral for all the wrong reasons when former NHL player Ryan Whitney described it as “the worst place on Earth.” Many recent travellers would agree. It appears the airport is running a not-so-limited promotion where all fares include a tour through the nine circles of hell.

But if you think hours-long security and customs delays, passengers held on planes for hours without food or water, staffing shortages and cascading flight cancellations are bad now, just wait until border agents can search through your phone and laptop based on nothing more than “reasonable general concern.”

Almost a quarter of Canadians report eating less than they should due to rising prices: survey

A new survey suggests a growing number of Canadians are struggling with the rising cost of food as prices for basics like pasta, bread and meat all soar.

The poll from Food Banks Canada indicates hunger and food insecurity are increasing across the country, with lower-income Canadians hit hardest by inflation.

“It’s really hard to hear just how many people in this country are struggling,” Food Banks Canada CEO Kirstin Beardsley said in an interview Monday. “We found that nearly one in five Canadians report going hungry over the last two years.”

Gas price pain is a direct result of electing Trudeau

That pain at the pump you are feeling is causing squeals of delight in Ottawa as taxes from record high gas prices fill the federal coffers.

Inflation, an increased carbon tax and extra GST revenue may be taking their toll on your bank account, but they’re ensuring Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government can keep up their high spending ways.

The price of gas hit record highs across Canada over the weekend and might go higher still later in the week.

Justin Trudeau Runs for Congress The Canadian Prime Minister can’t get enough of U.S. politics.

One of the oddities of Canadian politics is that its Liberal Party politicians so often sound like they’re running for office in the U.S. And, right on time this week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that he wants to ban the sale of handguns and confiscate so-called assault weapons via a mandatory buyback.
