The committee reviewing Trudeau’s use of the Emergencies Act faces a daunting task

The task of reviewing the Liberal government’s historic use of the Emergencies Act in response to anti-vaccine mandate protests in Ottawa and at border crossings got off to an inauspicious start this week.

But it’s also too early to abandon all hope that parliamentarians will be able to meet the occasion with the seriousness and transparency that the moment demands.

“I think given what’s been endured across the country over the last two months, and what’s at stake in order for us to move forward, I can’t think of a more important moment through this entire pandemic to have all parties from the House and the Senate set aside hyper-partisanship and really allow for the seriousness of our work,” said NDP Matthew Green, who will co-chair the committee.

Unfortunately none of the criminals responsible for this heinous violation of fundamental freedoms will see the inside of a jail cell. So why bother with this whitewash at all?

Trudeau has irreparably damaged our country

Asked why he supported some protests but was determined to crush the trucker convoy, Justin Trudeau answered without hesitation: He supported – and even participated in – protests he agreed with, but he did not support – and vowed to crush – those with “unacceptable views,” that is, views he disagrees with.

We are now seeing how far his NDP-backed Liberal government is prepared to go to economically disenfranchise those who hold “unacceptable views.” A convoy organizer was jailed and led into court in shackles. Bank accounts were frozen, businesses were destroyed, and many working Canadians will find it impossible to earn a living in their own country.

Lack of pipelines costing us billions

Suggesting his brain is an irony-free zone, federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault told Bloomberg News last week that Canada can’t replace Russian oil and natural gas supplies to Europe because, “our export capacity is pretty much maxed out.”

Of course, the reason it’s maxed out is Canada’s lack of oil and natural gas pipelines, the same ones Guilbeault campaigned against in his previous life as a Greenpeace activist.

Authoritarian Trudeau Denounces Authoritarian Putin, Weeks After Canada Targeted Political Protestors for Arrest

Yesterday, in a speech to a Ukrainian delegation in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had the nerve to talk about the “slipping of democracy” as a result of “greater authoritarianism”, only a few weeks after Trudeau invoked the emergency act and triggered financial targeting against protestors who assembled against his regime. Again, the media ignore the inherent hypocrisy.

They’re back! Protesters return to Ottawa, police ban anti-Trudeau signs/flags: ‘Same rule that Putin has’

Ottawa police, who have been described as the equivalent of the Keystone Cops, have reportedly banned signs that criticize far-left, vindictive Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who previously had authorizedthe crackdown on the peaceful protesters with the temporary invocation of the Emergencies Act.

GoFundMe and GiveSendGo execs confirm convoy not foreign-funded

Members of Parliament heard on Thursday that the Trudeau cabinet’s claims that the Freedom Convoy was funded by foreign powers were false, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

“Our records show 88% of donated funds originated in Canada and 86% of donors were from Canada,” said GoFundMe president Juan Benitez to the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security in the House of Commons on Thursday.

Ottawa seeks to hide ‘sensitive’ details of Communist China interference case from public view

The federal government is seeking to shield from public view some details of the case against a former Canadian Space Agency engineer accused of negotiating on behalf of a Chinese aerospace company.

Last December, the RCMP charged 61-year-old Wanping Zheng with breach of trust in a case police say is tied to foreign interference.

Wanping Zheng is accused of using his status as an engineer at the CSA to negotiate satellite station installation agreements with Iceland on behalf of a Chinese aerospace company.

The Winnipeg Germ Lab and now this. I think “sensitive” should be read as “Liberal Party complicity”

Trudeau to protect number of Quebec’s Commons seats to ensure province doesn’t lose MP

The federal government is preparing to take action to ensure that Quebec does not lose a seat when Canada’s electoral map is redrawn.

A number of government departments are working on proposals to protect Quebec’s voice in Parliament as it faces losing a seat in an upcoming redistribution of seats based on population.

Because Quebec’s population has declined, it stands to lose an MP, while other provinces with growing populations, including Alberta, would gain MPs. The last time a province lost a seat in redistribution was in 1966.

Gasoline has never been more expensive — and high prices will be made worse by Trudeau’s carbon tax thievery

… McTeague says Canada’s reliance on U.S. refiners is once again a major factor in why Canadian drivers are paying more. “We price all of our fuel in U.S. [dollars]… so that makes the bad situation worse, which is why we’re looking at at least a five to six cents a litre increase,” on top of what we’ve already seen, he said.

On top of booming demand for oil leading to higher prices at the retail level, the federal carbon tax is slated to increase on April 1, a development which will add even more pennies to the price of every litre at the pump.

Resolution introduced in Ohio legislature urges Canada to be placed on religious liberty watch list

State legislators introduced a resolution in the Ohio House of Representatives on Tuesday urging the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) to add Canada to its special watch list as a Canadian pastor remains jailed.

The resolution, which was introduced by Republican state Reps. Reggie Stoltzfus and Timothy Ginter, was cosponsored by 11 of their colleagues and appealed to the historic legacy of religious liberty in Canada, the United States and Ohio as the basis for their condemnation of how Canadian clergy have recently been treated by authorities.
