The Appropriate U.S. Response to Trudeau’s Financial Overreach

To strike at the coalition of truck drivers demonstrating against his government’s vaccine mandates, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau ordered financial institutions to search customer records and sanction both the protesters and those who had given financial support to them. Banks investigated the accounts of anyone identified by the government as being a participant or a donor and froze them, all without warrants or court approval. This was a manifestation of expanding state power, which would have been unimaginable just a couple of years ago in a democracy.

Why Justin Trudeau Re-Branded Canada As a Racist Society

Throughout the decades, the transformation of Canadian society has received far too little attention. The changes are profound, and more than likely, permanent. Untouched by mainstream media, knowledge of our social trajectory remains poorly understood.

A certain type of citizen can recognize the transition. The Canadian-born retain an ability to see the patterns. Generally, new arrivals haven’t lived here long enough to do so. This being one reason why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gives preference to 3rd World communities over “traditional” Canadians.

Silence Speaks Volumes – Part One

On the right side of the political line in the sand, we the fringe are highly accustomed to and getting comfortable with the constant bombardment of negativity fired at us from our sitting federal Liberal government. Justin Trudeau and his cabal have meanwhile managed to shock news outlets worldwide with their repelling rhetoric and hypocritical utter lack of self-awareness as they pummell home scornful speaking points on protestors who parked on Parliament Hill demanding freedom from pandemic restrictions.

The unacceptables now take it all in stride, knowing what he will say before he opens his mouth. His fall backs when under attack are now soothingly foreseeable.

Racist.

Antisocial.

Delusional.

Hateful.

Misogynist.

Violent.

Extremist.

Terrorists.

The list goes on. These are Justin and company’s go-to descriptors; his standard speech fodder nowadays really. They are words I hardly ever find the need to utilize unless I am mocking their glaring and unrestrained over-application and use. He then always predictably – after deeply insulting citizens whom he knows absolutely nothing about – goes on to mutter about how he “has our backs”. What a guy.

Electric vehicles face roadblocks as feds unsure how to implement communist command economy

Cost, scarcity and a shortage of charging stations are undermining Ottawa’s efforts

Canada’s first emissions reduction plan will be tabled in the House of Commons in two weeks. But the minister in charge says it won’t include specific details on how to meet the federal government’s sales targets for zero-emission cars and trucks over the next decade.

The federal plan is to require that half of all new cars sold in this country be zero-emission vehicles by 2030. Five years after that date, all new cars sold must be zero-emission.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said that while the goal of this national sales mandate is clear, he’s still consulting with the auto sector on the best way to meet it.

“We’re not sure yet exactly how we’ll get there, and the how is going to be developed in the course of the next year with the industry and other stakeholders. But the objectives are clear,” he said in an interview airing on The House this weekend.

Energy Policy in North America Focuses on Climate Change to the Neglect of Energy Security

Alberta Energy Minister Sonya Savage says it is high time that the Liberal government treats Alberta’s oil and gas reserves as a strategic asset, and not a liability to be phased out to the detriment of energy security.

Speaking at a press conference on March 11, Savage said the Russian invasion of Ukraine has put a spotlight on the weakness of North America’s energy policy, affirming the need to continue producing oil and gas to counter any supply disruption.

More CBC falsehoods about the convoy are now being retracted

GUNTER: More falsehoods about the convoy are now being retracted

The CBC has retracted a second story it reported about the Freedom Convoy that turned out to be fake.

The first was the absurd allegation that somehow Russians were behind the scenes pulling the convoy’s strings in an effort to destabilize the Canadian government.

The CBC was just doing its job as instructed by the Trudeau Liberal Party – reporting fake news.

Saudi Arabia kills 81 in its largest mass execution ever recorded .. a real value add to the oil we import from the desert Kingdom!

Saudi Arabia killed 81 alleged criminals Saturday, the largest mass execution recorded in the kingdom’s modern history.

Those who were killed had been convicted of a range of crimes, including murder, belonging to militant groups like al-Qaeda and backing Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

The executions were announced by the state-run Saudi Press Agency, which did not specify where they occurred, the significance of the timing, or the method of killing — although the kingdom typically beheads convicts.


Clearly there were bad guys in that lot, but why isn’t Trudeau lecturing the Saudis about employing transgender executioners?

Guess where Canada’s $488 billion in foreign oil came from?….and which province imports the most?

Trudeau blasts social media disinformation — in Russia and Canada

Canada’s Real Prime Minister?

Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland furnishes an interesting case study in an apparently contradictory dynamic of incompetence and competence. As a high-ranking minister, she is clearly incompetent, having, for example, nearly deep-sixed our NAFTA treaty talks with Donald Trump. Her insistence on the inclusion of “progressive” policies, such as gender equality, labor union safeguards, a chapter dedicated to indigenous peoples, and favored environmental standards only ensured that Canada got the short end of the renewed accord. Her attempt to enact Liberal policy was politically inept.

Trudeau-selected senator introduces bill to lower voting age from 18 to 16

Senator Marilou McPhedran, who was appointed to the Senate in 2016 on the recommendation of Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has introduced Bill S-201. The bill is currently in its second of three readings in the senate.

The move to lower the voting age has been pushed with varying degrees of effort by the political left in in both Canada and abroad in recent years.

Rex Murphy: Canada’s big banks have much to answer for after blindly following Trudeau’s emergency orders

Did any single bank president, floating on a stream of magnificently swollen income and bonuses, attempt to resist or test the edict from the Trudeau government? Did they go to court to test the legality of the move?

Did the great presidents of Canadian banks meet, on Zoom or in person, to discuss whether their institutions had become craven puppets of whatever comes out of the Prime Minister’s Office when Justin Trudeau sees a democratic protest he doesn’t like, or wishes to strike out at an inconvenient display of democratic spine?

Since when is it an offence against public order to be ‘ideologically motivated’?

The end is nigh.

William Watson: Ideology gets a bad rap

You may recall the federal government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act. About a year and a half ago it was, in news-time. Editorial reaction around the world, including in outlets international investors read, was generally negative.

The Economist was especially disapproving: “The truckers have every right to express their disagreement. A wise government would listen to them and respond politely, taking their complaints seriously and patiently explaining why COVID restrictions, though onerous, are necessary for the time being … The police already have ample powers to quell disorder. Yet on February 14th Mr. Trudeau invoked emergency powers under a 34-year-old law that had never been used before. It would allow the government to declare protests illegal and freeze the bank accounts of protesters without a court order.”

Cafe that supported ‘Freedom Convoy’ says it’s been evicted

After announcing its eviction and launching an online fundraiser, a downtown Ottawa business that supported the so-called Freedom Convoy has raised more than $30,000.

The Iconic Cafe, located on Slater Street just a few blocks from Parliament Hill, stayed open during the weeks-long occupation in downtown Ottawa and was used as a staging area for protesters — in some instances, prominent protest leaders would broadcast on social media from inside the cafe.
