Morneau broke ethics law three times during WE Charity affair, ethics commissioner rules but Trudeau Family Grift forgiven

… In the much anticipated report, which was published alongside a similar investigation into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s involvement in the WE scandal, Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion criticizes Morneau for failing to recuse himself from cabinet’s decision to outsource a $900 million student volunteer grant program to the organization and by allowing his staff to “disproportionately assist” WE because of his ties to co-founder Craig Kielburger.

Update – Trudeau did not break federal ethics rules in WE Charity scandal — but Morneau did: report

Guilbeault defends censorship bill by citing Trudeau government-funded groups

It is my contention that Guilbeault is slightly more punch worthy than Trudeau.

Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault attempted to advocate for his controversial Bill C-10, citing multiple Canadian cultural organizations as supporters. Guilbeault failed to mention, however, is that many of the organizations he listed were recipients of government funding.

Beyond C-10: Inside the government’s plan to suspend Internet users and block website access

While we’ve all been distracted by the government’s bumbling overreach with Bill C-10, they’ve launched yet another attack on our online rights and freedoms: a Bell-backed proposal to give the government sweeping censorship powers to demand ISPs block websites, and have ISPs suspend our Internet, or even ban us permanently. All this any time that litigious rights holding companies like Rogers, Disney or Bell claim we’ve improperly accessed their copyrighted materials.

Canada creeps towards totalitarianism

Canada creeps towards totalitarianism

If the Canadian government doesn’t like the content you’re producing, they want to ensure you can’t make a living off it

Canadians pride themselves on their ultra-progressive reputation. In contrast to the gun-loving, war-mongering, big government-hating, get-off-my-lawn-you-commie reputation of Americans, Canadians see themselves as North America’s kinder, gentler half. But that smug politeness has seen us sleepwalk into an Orwellian nightmare.

We have never felt much of an affinity to free speech in Canada — saying what you really think is mean and individual rights are for people who don’t have a feminist drama teacher as prime minister. So it’s perhaps unsurprising that a new bill proposing to regulate speech on the internet is being pushed by our politically center-left Liberal party.

Canada is virtue signalling while waffling on global access to COVID-19 vaccines

Based on public statements, it’s easy to come to the conclusion that Canada is working to improve global access to COVID-19 vaccines.

This quote comes from an opinion piece in the Washington Post on July 15, 2020; the lead author, none other than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:

“…we must urgently ensure that vaccines will be distributed according to a set of transparent, equitable and scientifically sound principles. Where you live should not determine whether you live, and global solidarity is central to saving lives and protecting the economy.”

The person being quoted here in early May of this year is Mary Ng, the International Trade Minister in Trudeau’s cabinet:

“The work we have been doing and the leadership we have been providing is very much about removing all barriers to vaccine access, whether it be production or supply chain or export restrictions…We’re trying to remove all barriers to access to vaccines.”

But despite what Trudeau and Ng said, Canada is not doing all that it can to improve access. Far from it.

Jamil Jivani: How Trudeau’s censorious agenda could target Joe Rogan

The most popular podcaster in the world, Joe Rogan, is loved by Canadians. We listen to his show, The Joe Rogan Experience, in big numbers and there’s a buzz every time he talks about our country. Rogan loves us, too. He once told his millions of fans that Canada is “’one of the greatest countries the world has ever known.”

But Rogan — American, popular and controversial — creates exactly the kind of content that Justin Trudeau’s censorship agenda is designed to target.

Latest Trudeau Green-scam – A Global Carbon Tax Dreamed Up By The EU

Latest Trudeau Green-scam –  A Global Carbon Tax Dreamed Up By The EU

If you thought Canada’s domestic carbon tax was controversial, just wait for its new global equivalent now being negotiated behind closed doors, say Canadians who have been following its progress.

It’s not a secret. In fact the new charge got its own subheading in the recent federal budget.

The plan is to “make sure that regulations on a price on carbon pollution apply fairly between trading partners,” said the budget document. “This levels the playing field, ensures competitiveness, and protects our shared environment.”

It’s prompted, in part, by fear of a Rust Belt repeat. Then, industries hollowed out in rich countries as manufacturing chased cheaper labour. This time, the draw would be from countries with climate regulations to those without.

Horseshit. All it means is that even more money will be extorted from citizens. You can bet the China class will ensure the communist regime and their investments are exempted.

GOLDSTEIN: Pandemic exposes divide between public, private sectors

GOLDSTEIN: Pandemic exposes divide between public, private sectors

The fact that 80% of Canadian workers who are in the private sector can no longer afford to pay the salaries, benefits, and pensions of the 20% in the public sector was a crisis before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Coming out of the pandemic, it’s going to be a disaster.

Minister backtracks comments on Bill C-10, says social media users ‘will never’ be regulated’

OTTAWA — After suggesting that under Bill C-10, the Canadian Radio-television and telecommunications Commission (CRTC) could impose discoverability regulations on individuals who have a large-enough following online, Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault now says that’s not the case.

In a new statement sent to CTV News late Sunday night, the minister says he used “unclear” language when he referred to people and online channels being subject to federal regulations as part of the government’s updates to the Broadcasting Act.

Governments across Canada withholding COVID-19 data to regulate public reaction to pandemic, says access-to-information advocate

Sean Holman, an access to information expert and journalism professor at Mount Royal University in Calgary, said uproar in British Columbia Friday over revelations the provincial government was only releasing a fraction of its COVID-19 data to the public is just one example of such secrecy.

“It doesn’t surprise me,” said Holman, who stressed B.C. is particularly notorious for withholding information. “But it really emphasizes the need for governments across Canada to provide more information to the general public about what’s going on during this public health disaster.”

What exactly did the Liberal government do with an allegation against ex-top soldier Vance in 2018?

It’s the story that reaches to the top of the Prime Minister’s Office, that has caused damage to the Liberal government’s feminist brand, led to calls for the defence minister to resign and for the prime minister to fire his chief of staff.

At the heart of it is this question: What happened with an allegation against ex-chief of the defence staff Gen. Jonathan Vance in 2018?

Or as some critics would say: Why did nothing happen with an allegation against Canada’s former top soldier, who remained in the position for almost another three years, and is now under military police investigation? And where was the follow up?
