Bloc leader doubles down on remarks about Transport Minister Omar Alghabra – Freeland responds

OTTAWA – Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet is standing by comments he made about Transport Minister Omar Alghabra earlier this month that sparked criticism he was trying to tar the new cabinet member with Islamophobic innuendo.

Blanchet addressed the blowback nearly two weeks after what Alghabra dubbed a harmful and “dangerous game” of insinuation by the Bloc.

…Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland called on Blanchet during the daily question period Tuesday to apologize to his fellow MP across the virtual aisle.

Birds of a feather they say.

Royal rip-off? Departing GG worked 40 months, gets $150K pension for life

Gov. Gen. Julie Payette departs office, we learn, with a pension of about $150,000 a year, for life, for doing a job not very well, and for not very long.

She is 57 years old. It will sting, but do a little math. If she lives for another 30 years, that’s $4.5 million. With indexing, of course, it would be a great deal more than that, but the point is made: this is a lifetime of financial security for an appointment that did not last three-and-a-half years.

Because…

Canada has a permanent political class. They work to insulate themselves from you, from justice, from scrutiny all at your expense. It is evolving into a Kleptocracy. There are rarely repercussions of any severity for bad or even illegal behavior.

Canada’s natural resource minister rebuffed calls to issue sanctions on the United States over President Joe Biden‘s move to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline expansion.

“Madame Speaker, I have not yet heard a single argument that would convince me that a trade war is in the best interests of our oil and gas workers,” Seamus O’Regan said during an emergency debate in the House of Commons Monday evening.

 

Have a drink Seamus your work here is done.

Former Liberal Party president stunned by Trudeau’s support

Former Liberal Party president stunned by Trudeau’s support

A former president of the Liberal Party says Justin Trudeau is surrounded by people in cabinet way over their heads – and he has no idea why Canadians support him.

Stephen LeDrew, Liberal Party president from 1998-2002, said past Liberal prime minister’s had a strong cabinet behind them, something Trudeau lacks.

“You look around the cabinet today and they’re all nice people, they’re all trying their hardest. But most of them have no experience in anything…it’s Trudeau, Dominic Leblanc and other people who really know nothing about public policy or good government,” said Ledrew, who ran also ran John Turner’s campaign to succeed the elder Trudeau.

Trudeau Celebrates Biden: We Have ‘So Much Alignment’

On Friday, asked about the decision by President Joe Biden to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau touted the “alignment” between himself and Biden as well as Canadians and Biden, saying they were “much more aligned on values.”

As you read this you’ll realize how truly fecked Canada is.

Rex Murphy: A mini-exodus for our time – resignations from the Trudeau government

“To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.” — Oscar Wilde, The Importance of being Earnest.

There has been much commentary on the precipitous departure via resignation of Julie Payette from the Office of Governor General. The most telling, to my judgment, came from the always elegant laptop of Father Raymond J. de Souza in Saturday’s edition of this paper.

Kelly McParland: Why do Canadians keep re-electing this error-prone government?

You have to wonder who’s telling Trudeau it’s a good idea to start planning an election now

Justin Trudeau has so many judgment errors racked up as prime minister you have to wonder who’s telling him it’s a good idea to start planning an election.

The Aga Khan trip. Election reform. The India costume parade. SNC-Lavalin. Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott. The Kielburger brothers and the WE fiasco. Blackface. Vaccine rollout. Julie Payette. It’s not even necessary to provide details; they’re so familiar people recognize them in shorthand. It raises the question of how much the prime minister thinks before he acts.

He must have had some good stuff: Liberals oust Brampton Centre MP for making ‘baseless and dangerous accusations’ against caucus colleagues

OTTAWA—The federal Liberals have kicked out of caucus Brampton Centre MP Ramesh Sangha, charging him with making “baseless and dangerous accusations against a number of his caucus colleagues.”

In a statement, the chief government whip Mark Holland says that he learned about the allegations late last week and consulted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau immediately.

“The necessary steps were taken. As of this afternoon, Mr. Sangha has been removed from the Liberal caucus,” said Holland, who has not yet replied to a request for clarification.

I smell the usual LPC faggotry.

HARRIS: Killing Keystone, Biden’s gift to Trudeau

HARRIS: Killing Keystone, Biden’s gift to Trudeau

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is right to charge the federal government with being weak in their response to President Joe Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline.

Considering that it will cost Canada billions of dollars and thousands of well-paying jobs across the country, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s statement that, “we are disappointed but acknowledge the President’s decision to fulfil his election campaign promise” is pretty weak tea.

Justin’s plan for you – Sustainable Green Impoverishment: Biden rolls out Trump-like ‘Made in America’ executive order

President Biden spent the first week of his administration taking executive action reversing many of former President Donald Trump’s signature policies, but on Monday, he will sign an order that has the hallmarks of Trumpism.

Biden will direct his federal government on Monday to update laws and regulations governing how it spends roughly $600 billion a year on contracts for goods and services. The order attempts to strengthen existing provisions giving workers and manufacturers in the United States preferential treatment, some of which haven’t been changed since 1954.

Specifically, Biden is asking agencies to tighten the requirements that need to be met for a product to be considered made in the U.S. He’s also requesting that they make it tougher for the government to justify buying foreign goods because of the price.


Forget Keystone! Justin will ask for an exemption for Canadian goods.

Yea, sure he will, just not too hard.

And when Biden’s people say no or grant some concession that likely benefits Quebec above all others he’ll secretly smile that his plan for a “green economy” has just been given another booster shot.
