Border blockades had little effect on trade, data reveals … but Emergencies Act!

Despite the highly publicized blockades at Ontario’s Ambassador Bridge and Coutts crossing in Alberta, cross-border trade in Ontario and Alberta was up 16 per cent in February, compared to the same month last year, according to data from Statistics Canada.

And while some businesses were impacted by the blockades, the trade figures also raise questions about the government’s use of the Emergencies Act – a decision, in part, justified by “threats to (Canada’s) economic security” brought about by the blockades.

So Justin used the Emergencies Act to crush a citizens protest on behalf of a few corporate cronies.

Illegal border crossings are skyrocketing with no end in sight

The number of illegal border crossings at Roxham Road keeps increasing, with a majority of the migrants being unvaccinated. Does the government have a plan to address this ongoing issue?

Road to Electric Vehicles: Carrot for the Wealthy, Stick for the Rest

Despite years of coercive effort on the part of the government and billions spent trying to get Canadians to buy electric vehicles, only a mere 5 percent of drivers have chosen to go electric. Research conducted by the Department of Natural Resources concluded that most Canadians simply found electric vehicles to be too expensive to purchase.

So how has the government responded to this information?

SIMS: Feds still studying home equity tax

The Trudeau government keeps saying it won’t impose a home equity tax.

But money talks and some six-digit funding cheques are raising uncomfortable questions.

The UBC group Generation Squeeze is headed-up by Professor Paul Kershaw. His team released a CMHC-funded report in January that called for a surtax on the sale of primary residences in Canada.

More asylum-shoppers crossing into Canada from war torn America after ban lifted, stats show

Snowy northern winters tend to see a drop in asylum-seekers crossing from the United States into Canada at Roxham Road, Quebec. Not this past winter.

In December the number of asylum-seekers entering Canada outside formal land border crossings reached its highest point since August 2017, government statistics show.

The growing caseload is lengthening wait times for eligibility hearings, leaving claimants waiting months on social assistance before getting work permits, one attorney said.

National inquiry into PM Trudeau’s use of Emergencies Act to end convoy kicks off

OTTAWA – A national inquiry into the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act to bring an end to the “Freedom Convoy” trucker protests and blockades has been launched, with a mandate to examine the circumstances that led to the use of the Act, and the measures taken through it to deal with the emergency situation.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has named Paul S. Rouleau to lead the “Public Order Emergency Commission,” which will have the better part of the next year to lead the independent public inquiry before having to present a final report to both the House of Commons and Senate within 360 days after the revocation of the emergency declaration.

RCMP considered charging Trudeau with fraud over 2016 Aga Khan trip, access-to-information request shows

The RCMP considered charging Justin Trudeau with fraud over a family vacation at the Aga Khan’s private island in the Bahamas, but decided against doing so because it was unclear if the Prime Minister had the authority to approve the all-expenses-paid gift for himself.

RCMP documents from 2019, recently released in response to an access-to-information request, outline the force’s investigation into the 2016 Trudeau family Christmas vacation at the Ismaili Muslim leader’s luxurious retreat. The documents reveal the Mounties looked at whether they could charge Mr. Trudeau with breach of trust or fraud based on the findings in a report from the federal Ethics Commissioner.

The December 2017 report, issued by former ethics commissioner Mary Dawson, concluded that Mr. Trudeau had violated four sections of the Conflict of Interest Act by accepting the vacation, because there was ongoing official business between the federal government and the Aga Khan.

So the RCMP weren’t sure that Justin was allowed to authorize personal graft. That’s some loophole, pure Banana Republic standards.

GUNTER: Trudeau’s electric vehicle plan is thoroughly laughable

At some point in my life, I suspect either my wife or I will own an electric vehicle. They are elegant pieces of technology.

But the Trudeau government’s goal of having 60 per cent of new vehicles sold in Canada be electric by 2030 is laughable.

Ottawa cites cabinet confidentiality over decision to invoke Emergencies Act, court filing shows

The federal government says it will not reveal what information led it to use the Emergencies Act to end truckers’ protests this winter, citing cabinet confidentiality in its response to legal challenges.

Four groups accuse the government of acting unlawfully by invoking a state of emergency when, they say, existing legislation such as the Criminal Code and traffic laws were sufficient to address it. Alberta is seeking to join the case as an intervenor, opposing the use of the emergency law.

Trudeau’s Internet Censorship Plan “Like China, North Korea” Says Twitter

A request-for-information released this week has spilled the beans on the Liberal government’s internet censorship proposals. Labelled as “government surveillance and censorship powers,” social media giant Twitter compared Trudeau government proposals to dictatorial measures found in China, North Korea and Iran.

Peter Menzies: Twitter Joins Wave of Opposition to Liberals’ Attempts to Regulate Internet

Canada’s first efforts to create an Online Harms Act were described by Twitter as alarmingly similar to those employed by China, North Korea, and Iran.

“The proposal by the government of Canada to allow the (proposed) Digital Safety Commissioner to block websites is drastic,” states Twitter’s 2021 response to the Department of Heritage’s proposed legislation.

“People around the world have been blocked from accessing Twitter and other services in a similar manner as the one proposed by Canada by multiple authoritarian governments (China, North Korea, and Iran for example) under the false guise of ‘online safety,’ impeding peoples’ rights to access information online,” it continued.

Roman Baber goes after Trudeau for demonizing “truly peaceful” Freedom Convoy

Conservative Party leadership candidate and Independent Ontario MPP Roman Baber has slammed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for demonizing Freedom Convoy protesters on Parliament Hill last February.

Baber made the comments during an appearance on CBC News’s Power & Politics earlier this week. In the segment, Baber also said that Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act was groundless.

Liberals’ proposed online harms bill slammed in ‘secret’ submissions from tech companies, telecoms

Responses to the Liberal government’s proposed online harms bill from companies including Microsoft, Twitter and Canadian telecoms are among the hundreds of submissions Canadian Heritage refused to release.

Previously withheld feedback includes a document from Twitter that warned the proposed framework involving proactive monitoring of content “sacrifices freedom of expression to the creation of a government run system of surveillance of anyone who uses Twitter.”

I hope Musk buys Twitter and tells Junior to shove it.

Geoff Russ: EKOS boss Frank Graves’ ill advised threat to keep Pierre Poilievre from winning

Frank Graves, President and founder of EKOS Research Associates, went on the attack against Pierre Poilievre’s populist-tinged bid to become leader of the Conservative party. Unquestionably, Graves has the right to express his opinions, but his online onslaught, as head of a prominent political polling firm, only dumped fuel on the populist fire he loathes.
