Liberal party under fire as more questions raised about Nate Erskine-Smith’s nomination fight

Liberal party under fire as more questions raised about Nate Erskine-Smith’s nomination fight

Nate Erskine-Smith’s appeal of a weekend nomination in Scarborough Southwest has sparked mockery of the Liberals just as the beleaguered party has been enjoying an uptick in the polls.

It has also fuelled questions as to why the Beaches—East York Liberal MP — whose own 2014 federal nomination win was challenged — and his team didn’t publicly raise concerns during the meeting Saturday.

Stung after narrowly losing to Ahsanul Hafiz, owner of 30 Domino’s Pizza franchises, Erskine-Smith alleged “serious irregularities” in the balloting, such as voters using “Amazon orders” and refugee claimant papers as identification.

This is just business as usual for the Liberals.

LILLEY: We shouldn’t let underage non-citizens vote in party nominations

Can we talk about the crazy way that we let our political parties select their candidates and leaders.

Over the weekend, the Ontario Liberal Party held a nomination race to select their candidate for the upcoming provincial byelection in Scarborough Southwest. Ahsanul Hafiz took 718 votes on the third ballot to defeat current Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, who received 699 votes.

Ottawa penthouse purchase sparked backlash as officials warned of optics amid cost-of-living crisis

Internal government records show federal officials were rattled by public outrage over an $8.8 million luxury residence purchased for a Canadian diplomat in New York, warning the controversy made Ottawa appear out of touch with Canadians struggling to make ends meet.

According to Access to Information documents, the Department of Foreign Affairs acknowledged the 2024 Manhattan penthouse acquisition for Consul General Tom Clark drew intense media scrutiny and political backlash, describing the issue as “highly medialized” and politically sensitive.

Just fire Christiane Fox already

Just fire Christiane Fox already

It’s time for Prime Minister Mark Carney to fire Christiane Fox before she becomes a stain on his own reputation.

The deputy minister at the Department of National Defence broke a key ethics rule, offered a lame defence of her actions, and doesn’t seem to understand why helping an acquaintance get a job in her department is a problem.

Does that sound like the sort of person who should be heading a major federal department?

Doug Ford’s Bill 5 called a ‘dangerously undemocratic’ law as legal challenge is launched

Doug Ford’s Bill 5 called a ‘dangerously undemocratic’ law as legal challenge is launched

Calling Premier Doug Ford’s controversial Bill 5 a “dangerously undemocratic” law that gives the government “unconstitutional king-like powers,” a coalition of public interest and environmental groups announced a legal challenge against the use of special economic zones.

Filed on March 31 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the application questions the “constitutional validity of the Special Economic Zones Act” and, according to Ecojustice lawyer Lindsay Beck, the coalition wants the court to nullify the use of those zones, saying they override other laws and protections.

Canada’s massive debt problem is even worse than our governments want to let on—here’s why

Canada’s massive debt problem is even worse than our governments want to let on—here’s why

As provincial budget season winds down nationwide, we are left with the fiscal remains of the day as estimates of budget deficits assault our senses. With the 2025-26 fiscal year wrapping up, every provincial government is reporting or expected to report a budget deficit.

For example, Ontario’s deficit came in below what was projected at only $12.3 billion, but next year’s shortfall is now larger than initially projected at $13.8 billion. As numbers go, being a few billion dollars off from year to year, given the turbulent economic times, is to be expected. After all, borrowing from C.D. Howe, in the end, what is a billion dollars these days, anyway?

How Canada Birthed a Sinaloa Cartel Boss: A Veteran Mountie With 50 Years of Experience Explains the Unthinkable Rise of Ryan Wedding

OTTAWA — In this episode, former senior Mountie Garry Clement joins Sam Cooper to answer a question that should unsettle every Canadian: how does a figure like Ryan Wedding — an Olympic athlete from Coquitlam — end up becoming one of the most feared Sinaloa Cartel operatives in North America? The answer, Clement argues, has less to do with Wedding himself than with the country that made his rise possible.

From Floor Crossings to Foreign Influence, Canada Faces a Crisis of Integrity

OTTAWA — In recent months, Canadian democracy has been shaken by events that ought to prompt serious reflection — not just from politicians, but from every voter who believes in representative government. For years, leaning on my expertise as a former RCMP Superintendent, I have warned that complacency, political expediency, and foreign influence are eroding the ethical foundations of our institutions. Today, those warnings feel more relevant than ever.

I Once Believed Canadians Would Demand Better. Fifty Years On, I’m Not So Sure: Clement

OTTAWA — For most of my career, I believed that if Canadians truly understood the scale of criminal infiltration, foreign interference, and systemic mismanagement within our national institutions, they would demand better. I still believe that.

But after the past several years—marked by mounting revelations, official denials, and a troubling reluctance to confront hard truths—I have come to believe something else as well: silence is no longer an option.

Geoff Russ: Canada desperately needs to find its ‘we’ again

The classical liberal John Stuart Mill once warned that “free institutions are next to impossible in a country made up of different nationalities.” He wrote that, without a “united public opinion,” representative government lacked the common sympathies and culture required for it to work properly. He added that even entities like the army would cease to identify with the people and become another branch of the state.

Liberty’s better theorists have always presumed a “we,” and Canada needs to find its “we” again.

There can be no “we” in a nation subjected to the abuse of it’s culture, values and heritage by the heinous immigration scam orchestrated by Canada’s so called “elites”.

Government grifter caught using tax dollars for a paid vacay with Hubby

Senator defends spending nearly $22K for English classes in Vancouver

Quebec Sen. Amina Gerba travelled to Vancouver with her husband for two 20-hour English courses at a total cost of nearly $22,000 — trips that several parliamentarians say raise ethical questions.

Amina Gerba – Trudeau appointed Grifter

The trips in July 2023 and 2024, which fell within the rules of Senate travel, were reimbursed. Gerba and her husband took the courses at Collège Éducacentre, their tuition costing $1,521 each time.

Travel expenses — including hotel, business-class airfare and daily allowances for the six-day trips — cost taxpayers $9,064.30 in the first year and $9,790.25 in the second.
