Canada’s whistleblower protection is nearly dead and lies dead last among other countries surveyed on their “track record for compliance with best practices” behind Albania, Bangladesh, Latvia, Pakistan, Romania, Tanzania, Uganda and Vietnam.

The International Bar Association said Tuesday federal whistleblower protection law is “nearly entirely dormant.”

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau bribing us with our own money to vote Liberal

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are gearing up to bribe us with our own money, yet again, to win the looming federal election, having given themselves the perfect vehicle to do it.

It’s a so-called economic stimulus fund of up to $100 billion to be spent over the next three years, details to come whenever Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland finally delivers a budget, which the Liberals have now delayed for two years.

‘Shocked, astonished, horrified’: WE’s alleged dubious fundraising methods could have negative impact on other charities

OTTAWA – “Horrifying” stories of WE Charity’s alleged plaque-swapping and other dubious practices has prompted calls for investigations by the RCMP, the Canada Revenue Agency and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Charity experts fear that the allegations will make Canadians less likely to open their wallets to other charities, already dealing with a downturn due to the pandemic.

Rex Murphy: Finally we might get answers to the Trudeau-WE Charity scandal

It’s good to see that some outside testimony from a former donor, and a significant one, to WE Charity, Reed Cowan, has reignited public attention to the eerie connections between the Kielburger WE apparatus, the federal Liberal government, and the Trudeau family — wife, brother, mother and the prime minister himself.

Dr. Tam Agreed to Keep WHO Secrets: Will the MSM Apologize for Calling Derek Sloan a Racist?

Rebel News obtained documents showing that Dr. Tam had by signing an agreement with the WHO agreed to keep secret information discussed by the WHO, that she was privy to, which contradicted health advice they were putting out. This, in effect, also meant Dr. Tam would have to promote WHO health advice as Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, as disagreeing with it would inevitably require her to reveal why the WHO’s recommendations were wrong.

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau’s carbon taxes — big costs and broken promises

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon pricing regime has become an expensive, confusing, multi-headed Hydra in which claims made by his government are not accurate and promises have been broken.

Among these inaccuracies and broken promises are the government’s claim the carbon tax is revenue neutral in the four provinces where it applies, that 80% of households are financially better off because of rebates and that the tax, currently at $30 per tonne of industrial greenhouse gas emissions, would be frozen at $50 per tonne in 2022.

WE Charity was ‘duplicitous’ in its Kenya dealings, claims prominent donor Reed Cowan

A prominent donor to WE Charity has alleged that the charity was “duplicitous” in its relationships with donors and has failed to provide a proper accounting of its use of donor funds in Kenya.

Reed Cowan, a U.S. television journalist who estimates that he has mobilized millions of dollars for WE Charity, told a House of Commons committee that the charity had misled donors by promising sponsorship of the same Kenyan school to different groups without their knowledge.

It’s no wonder the Kielburgers and the Liberal Party embraced one another, they’re philosophical and ethical twins convinced they’re doing “The Lords Work.”

Trudeau government backpedals on investigating human rights complaints against mining companies

In 2018, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government announced it would create a new watchdog that would have powers to investigate the overseas activities of Canadian companies, including the ability to force them to respond to questions and turn over evidence.

But it later scaled back those plans following an “onslaught of mining industry lobbying that got them to change their minds,” said Emily Dwyer, the coordinator of the Canadian Network on Corporate Accountability (the CNCA), which represents a group of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), churches, trade unions and other civil society organizations.

“It has been gutted,” Dwyer said.

Trudeau’s Canada: Low achievement, high self-esteem

Tristin Hopper’s weekend article in the National Post asked why Canada can’t get things done anymore, from procuring vaccines to renovating 24 Sussex Drive. Malaise about Canada’s performance is entirely justified as our pampered public sector fails to deliver and few Canadian brands dominate in the global marketplace.

Canada’s image was not always so dim.

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau – defender of human rights, admirer of tyrants

In assessing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s reluctance to condemn China’s treatment of its Uighur Muslims as a genocide, one has to factor in his past admiration and affection for dictators.

By contrast, Trudeau was quick and decisive when it came to agreeing that a democracy — Canada — had committed genocide.

Trudeau government sets sights on legal gunowners—while ignoring criminals

Trudeau government sets sights on legal gunowners—while ignoring criminals

Last week, the Trudeau government introduced Bill C-21, which would dramatically expand police powers in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau claims the legislation will combat gun violence and keep communities safe, but none of the bill’s provisions directly address gun violence or violent crime.

Instead, the bill demonizes legal firearms owners, who are not the problem, invents a variety of new administrative crimes and creates a “red flag” law that allows police to search and seize property (with a court order) on the grounds that a potentially dangerous individual has a firearm. Of course, the “red flag” provision is not new. Such a provision already exists and has for 20 years. Concerned individuals can dial 911 or medical doctors can call the Chief Firearms Officer.
