Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Terence Corcoran: Canada’s first ‘net-zero’ carbon fiasco
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s pre-election bailout of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Muskrat Follies hydroelectric mega-boondoggle was announced last week with preposterous “build-back-better” claims about creating “a healthier and more prosperous future” that will help achieve a clean and decarbonized energy system for the province and the country.
B.C. privacy watchdog investigating federal Liberals over facial recognition software
OTTAWA — British Columbia’s privacy watchdog is launching an investigation into the federal Liberal party’s use of facial recognition technology to pick candidates for the next election.
B.C. information and privacy commissioner Michael McEvoy’s office confirmed the investigation today following a complaint from the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.

Government of Canada announces funding to address gender-based violence and advance gender equality
Everyone has the right to live free from violence. Unacceptably, too many people in Canada continue to experience violence every day because of their gender, gender expression, gender identity or perceived gender. This issue has only been magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic in communities across the country. That’s why the Government of Canada is collaborating with partners to address and prevent gender-based violence in all its forms.
From the start of the pandemic, the Government of Canada has taken swift measures to support front-line organizations providing essential supports and services to women and their families experiencing gender-based violence through COVID-19 emergency funding.

LEVY: Government-subsidized “affordable” housing is not the least bit affordable
In the past six months, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has handed over hundreds of millions of dollars in affordable housing money to Toronto with no checks and balances.
The two announcements – Jan. 15 and July 29 – gave Toronto $335-million in Rapid Housing Initiative money for 773 “affordable homes.”
In reality, they will be mostly tiny modular housing units of 325-square-feet lumped together in a multi-residential building.
Communist China’s Useful Idiot Patty Hajdu pens letter to Alberta, asks for science behind plan to lift COVID rules
OTTAWA – Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu has sent a letter to her Alberta counterpart saying she shares concerns about the province’s plan to lift all of its COVID-19 health restrictions.
In the letter, addressed to Alberta Health Minister Tyler Shandro, Hajdu says she agrees with the Canadian Paediatric Society’s description of the move as an “unnecessary and risky gamble.”
She says recent modelling for Alberta forecasts a more serious resurgence in cases fuelled by the Delta variant, and all governments need to take reasonable steps to protect Canadians.
