Diane Francis: Trudeau’s inability to stand against China is a stain on Canada

Last year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government sent millions of dollars to the People’s Republic of China — in the form of contracts and foreign aid — despite the fact that Beijing has been holding two Canadians hostage for more than two years and has threatened Canadians living in Canada for opposing the regime’s mistreatment of the Uighur people and its takeover of Hong Kong.

Justin is a puppet merely doing the bidding of Canada’s China class.

Federal Firearms Buy-Back Program Estimated Cost Report

On May 1 2020 the Canadian Liberal Government announced an Order In Council (OIC) firearms prohibition. As part of this order the Government implemented an amnesty period (ending April 30 2022) to allow legal firearms owners the time necessary to become compliant with the new law. They also announced that they would introduce a buy-back program for the legal firearms owners affected by the OIC.

Since the mention of the buy-back program, there have been many questions around how much this federal buy-back would cost Canadians. Well, as of June 29 2021, the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) has finally released their report on what they estimate the cost of this program to be. Spoiler alert, it’s not cheap. They’re estimating a cost that ranges between $47 million to $756 million.

Liberal Canada marching towards tyranny as move to criminalize dissenting speech moves closer to reality

In case you haven’t noticed, in the age of COVID-19, our laid-back, ultra-liberal northern neighbor, Canada, is moving steadily toward tyranny, and there are not many people in the country who seem to mind.

That COVID-19 tracking app you were urged to download? It didn’t deliver — ‘far from it’

That COVID-19 tracking app you were urged to download? It didn’t deliver — ‘far from it’

The federal government spent $20 million on a smartphone application designed to alert users to possible COVID-19 exposures, and new data obtained by The Canadian Press shows the results didn’t live up to expectations.

Ottawa’s COVID Alert app, introduced late last year in several provinces, uses Bluetooth to detect proximity to others who have installed the app on their mobile devices, and it notifies users when they’ve been in close contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19.

No one trusted this app, and rightly so.

The privilege of pandemic private jets. How wealthy Canadians travelled during COVID-19

For the past 15 months, Canadians have been advised to avoid non-essential travel outside of Canada, but the definition of “essential” travel is open to interpretation and personal judgment.

While it has not been against the rules to fly abroad, COVID-19 testing and quarantine measures, along with the reduced capacity of commercial airlines, have made travel difficult or even prohibitive.

Friends of Justin no doubt, we really are a Banana republic.
