We caught two inaccuracies just this week, from the DND directly related to Challenger flight records — and I don’t think these are accidents or mistakes.
Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau’s reckless spending means decades of deficits
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could have balanced the federal budget in 2025/26, including all of the government’s COVID-19 spending, if he had spent taxpayers’ money responsibly upon coming into office in 2015, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.
WE Charity misled donors about building schools in Kenya, records show
Marc and Craig Kielburger’s WE Charity routinely misled school-aged children and wealthy philanthropists across North America for years as it solicited millions for schoolhouses in Kenya and other projects in its Adopt-A-Village program, an investigation by CBC’s The Fifth Estate has found.
Slick marketing videos, congratulatory social media posts and crowdfunding websites across the internet tell the story of two brothers on a mission to change the world, but under closer scrutiny those digital crumbs lead down a trail of contradictions and deception.
“I don’t know how they thought they could get away with it for so long,” said a former WE employee. CBC agreed to conceal their identity because they were concerned about legal reprisals from the charity for speaking out.
Canada’s annual inflation rate hits 4.7% in October, fastest pace in nearly 19 years
Canadian inflation accelerated in October to its quickest pace in nearly 19 years, leaving households to pay sharply more for gasoline, new vehicles and meat products.
The consumer price index (CPI) rose 4.7 per cent in October from a year earlier, up from 4.4 per cent in September, Statistics Canada said Wednesday. It was the seventh consecutive month that inflation has exceeded the Bank of Canada’s target range of 1 per cent to 3 per cent.
GOLDSTEIN: Economic freedom falling across Canada — report
Economic freedom is on the decline across Canada, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.
The fiscally-conservative think tank said that based on the latest available data from 2019 — the year before the COVID-19 global pandemic hit — all 10 Canadian provinces were far down the list of economic freedom when compared with 51 U.S. and 31 Mexican states.
Brad Wall: Nothing progressive about Liberal policies hiking the cost of living
I’m not sure how popular bowling is these days, but my wife and I went recently and had a great time. There might even be real-life lessons one can glean from the game — like the reset button.
Conservatives demanding documents be released over ‘troubling’ claims Clerk of House favoured Liberals
The Conservatives are calling on the Liberals to release emails and text messages between the party and the Clerk of the House of Commons, Charles Robert, following allegations he crossed a line and broke the cardinal rule of his job by acting partisan.
Robert’s job description is to advise the Speaker and all MPs on parliamentary procedure “regardless of party affiliation” and “with impartiality and discretion.”
But CBC News reported last week that Robert is facing claims he made partisan comments and shared confidential information with the Liberals that could have given the party a strategic advantage over the opposition in the House.
GOLDSTEIN: COP26 should be last UN gabfest on climate change
It’s time to put the United Nations’ annual global gabfest on climate change out of its misery and ours.
The latest one in Glasgow — formally known as COP26 because it’s the 26th meeting of the UN’s Conference of the Parties on climate change since the first, COP 1, was held in Berlin in 1995 — went into overtime.
‘Something Has Gone Wrong With Our Economy’: Economist on Canada’s Growth and Competitiveness
Canada’s competitiveness and economic growth are being hampered by restrictive policies and the government’s disinterest in fostering the wealth-producing business sector, an economist says.
“There’s an increasing feeling in this country that something has gone wrong with our economy, and in particular our business sector, that we’re just not as competitive on the world stage as we used to be,” Philip Cross, a senior fellow at the Fraser Institute and former chief economic analyst at Statistics Canada, told The Epoch Times.
Canada has no choice but to bar Huawei from 5G mobile networks, security experts say
OTTAWA — As the Liberal government prepares to unfurl its policy on next-generation mobile networks, global security experts say all signs point to the exclusion of Chinese vendor Huawei Technologies from the long-awaited blueprint.
The development of 5G, or fifth-generation, networks will give people speedier online connections and provide vast data capacity to meet ravenous demand as more and more things link to the internet and innovations such as virtual reality, immersive gaming and autonomous vehicles emerge.
The opposition Conservatives have long pressed the Liberals to deny Huawei a role in building the country’s 5G infrastructure, saying it would allow Beijing to spy on Canadians more easily.
Jack Mintz: Will Alberta become a ‘have-not’ province if it loses oil and gas?
With the prime minister’s declaration in Glasgow last week that the screws will be tightened on oil and gas emissions to achieve net zero by 2050, it is not far-fetched to suppose that Alberta could eventually become a “have-not” province. Even with good news, such as Amazon’s $4-billion investment in a Calgary hub, a declining oil and gas sector will erode Alberta’s growth.
Media Silent On Misappropriation Of Billions In Canadian Foreign Aid
In 2019, Canada’s budget for international assistance totalled $6.2 billion dollars. Each year, our ruling government extracts approximately $6 Billion dollars from Canadian tax-payers, and ships the funds to the World Bank, IMF, and African Development Bank.
To place this in proper context, it is not as though governments previous to Trudeau’s Liberals have not indulged in the practice. They certainly have. What has not been exposed by mainstream media is alleged misappropriation of these billions.
Trudeau Pushing Ahead With Dangerous Agenda Of Restricting Free Expression
Existing laws already give the government the ability to confront hate both online & offline. Power-hungry politicians like Trudeau ignore that reality, in order to ‘justify’ restricting your right to speak freely.
CSIS sees ‘unprecedented’ increase in violent online rhetoric during COVID
Public health officials and politicians continue to be targeted by the anti-vaccine movement, and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) told Global News that increasingly violent online rhetoric around the “arrest and execution of specific individuals” is a growing cause for concern.
Farmers are struggling with extremely high fertilizer prices
Local farmers are struggling with sharply increased costs. Nitrogen fertilizers currently cost almost three times as much as in the previous year, said the President of the Austrian Chamber of Agriculture, Josef Moosbrugger, at the APA. Significantly increased prices for animal feed, energy, building materials, spare parts, machines and other operating resources would also put a “considerable” strain on the balance sheets of agricultural and forestry operations.
