StatCan report casts clouds on claims of a widespread labour shortage in Canada

OTTAWA – A new report is casting doubt on the idea that Canada is facing a widespread labour shortage and bolsters the arguments by some labour economists that high job vacancies aren’t due to a shortage of workers.

The Statistics Canada analysis finds there are no labour shortages for jobs that require high levels of education, suggesting other factors, such as a mismatch in skills and pay, might be to blame for a high number of empty positions.

Trudeau is a lying bastard shilling for the corporate class. Stupid, greedy and evil people run this country and they profit from the pain mass immigration inflicts on you and your family.

Would you pay $800 a month to live in a closet? In Vancouver, that may be all you can afford

Two-bedroom basement suites going for $3,000 a month, a single bed in a room listed for $1,000 a month, and windowless closets renting for $800.

Expensive rent in Metro Vancouver is nothing new, but renters searching for a home in the region say the listings they’re coming across have reached a whole new level of absurdity.

“It’s out of control,” said Laura Herbert, 48, who is trying to find an affordable home for her adult son, who has a brain injury and lives off $1,400 a month in disability payments.

The Liberal Party makes you live like your in the 3rd World. If you voted for Trudeau you should be dipped in shit and run out of town.

Stephen Harper thinks foreign interference is ‘far worse than we think’

China’s political interference in Canada is pervasive, and likely goes well beyond what has already come to light, former prime minister Stephen Harper is warning, calling for an end to what he calls “naive globalism.”

The Chinese government has sought to influence elections in Canada, channel money to curry political favour and seek vulnerabilities in politicians who have family living in China, according to secret intelligence documents reported by The Globe and Mail in recent months.

What else could be expected? Canada is a balkanized state of 5th Columns thanks to Multiculturalism which makes loyalty a one way street.

And …

Trudeau’s China Class Buddy says “My work to protect Canada’s democracy from foreign interference is not done”

More like his work is protecting Canada’s China Class antics.

Over Half of Canadians Say Johnston Should Have Called for Public Inquiry: Poll

Slightly more than half of Canadians believe that Special Rapporteur David Johnston should have called for a public inquiry into foreign election interference, according to a new Angus Reid poll on May 26.

The national public opinion survey found that 52 percent of respondents said an inquiry should have been called, while 32 percent thought it was unnecessary, and 16 percent were unsure.

Targets of Chinese regime reject Johnston whitewash and call for public inquiry

Leaders of Canadian activist and religious groups targeted by Beijing are calling for a public inquiry into foreign interference, saying it isn’t enough for former governor-general David Johnston to hold hearings to listen to their concerns about China’s efforts to silence their criticism.

Groups representing human rights activists, Muslim Uyghurs, Hong Kong pro-democracy dissidents, Falun Gong practitioners and supporters of independence for Tibet told The Globe and Mail they’ve been sounding the alarm for years about Beijing’s harassment and intimidation tactics.

Singh Asks Trudeau for Certain Conditions Before Getting Security Clearance

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is asking the prime minister to allow more members of his party to be briefed on foreign interference attempts, after the leaders of the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois declined to obtain the required security clearance.

In a letter addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday, Singh said he wants those two spots given to members of his team who would accompany him in the briefings.

Singh also asked Trudeau for a briefing on how much he can and cannot say after reviewing the intelligence.

Garbage. Singh has one job, crash Trudeau’s government.

When you’ve lost the Star …. Johnston’s report into foreign interference failed to provide the needed transparency. An inquiry is needed.

Democracy is built on trust.

It’s the opening line in David Johnston’s first report on foreign interference in our electoral process and it was repeated by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in his response to that report.

But that trust is built on public confidence that can only come from transparency. On that count, Canadians had no reason to be more confident in the government’s vigilance and response to Chinese interference after hearing from Johnston.

This was a Banana Republic Farce. Johnston is in China’s pocket as is the Liberal party.

Johnston has professed that it would be “wonderful” if all Canadians learned to speak Chinese — his three daughters have done so, having attended several universities in China. When he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Nanjing University in 2012, Johnston had already made more than a dozen visits to China. As president of the University of Waterloo, Johnston oversaw the establishment of one of China’s propaganda-and-espionage Confucius Institutes. He has met Xi Jinping several times and has accompanied several trade delegations to China.

Assuming Singh continues to support Junior then I am on for a march on Ottawa.

Canada’s billions to Volkswagen and Stellantis are irresponsible and inflationary

It’s easy to see what Volkswagen and Stellantis get out of the billions in subsidies that Canada is dangling in front of them for domestic battery plants. Such subsidies clearly improve the companies’ returns on investments enough to attract these electric-vehicle battery plants away from other jurisdictions such as the United States or Europe. It’s harder to see what the Canadian and Ontario governments get in return.

Don Martin: David Johnston’s reputation is but a smouldering ruin

Justin and Johnston China Class Grifters

… Sorry, but the perception prevails of them as neighbourly chums in the Laurentian Elite backed by evidence suggesting due diligence was deliberately lacking as he put together his report.

For example, Johnston didn’t reach out to former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole until last week. This was the former leader most vocal about Chinese electoral interference, yet Johnston’s report was already on its way to the printers for translation, by the time an O’Toole interview was booked.

Johnston also took great pains to probe and question the accuracy of news reports yet failed to examine the Trudeau Foundation’s role in the controversy after it received substantial money from Chinese benefactors looking to buy friends in high places.

And his conclusion that senior Liberals didn’t know about Chinese efforts to help elect a Liberal minority mandate was based on merely asking the prime minister if that was the case. Not surprisingly, Trudeau said it wasn’t.

Terry Glavin: David Johnston escapes inquiry into his own China dealings

The former governor general is a poster boy for ‘elite capture’

In the uproar over revelations earlier this month that Beijing’s meddling in Canadian politics involved a secret plan to target the family of Conservative Party Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister Michael Chong, His Excellency Cong Peiwu, China’s ambassador in Ottawa, had some advice for the Trudeau government.

“China strongly urges the Canadian side to immediately stop this self-directed political farce,” Cong said, further urging Parliament to mind its manners and “not go further down the wrong and dangerous path.”

Poilievre calls on Singh to force a foreign interference inquiry

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh to drop the NDP’s support for the Liberals in the House of Commons to force the government to call a public inquiry into foreign political interference.

Former governor general David Johnston, now special rapporteur on foreign interference, tabled a report Tuesday recommending the government not move forward with a public inquiry, citing the sensitive nature of the intelligence an inquiry would have to examine.

Erin O’Toole blasts former Governor General David Johnston for ‘disappointing’ study of foreign interference

OTTAWA—Former Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole says the federal government’s point-person on alleged foreign interference – former Governor General David Johnston – only met with him as a “box-checking exercise,” and that he doesn’t trust his study of the issue to seriously address concerns about Canadian democracy.

O’Toole, the Oshawa MP who led the Conservatives in the 2021 election, added his voice to the chorus of opposition skepticism about how the Liberal government is handling allegations of Chinese state interference, which has grown in recent months into a political firestorm fuelled by a series of intelligence leaks to the media.

Trudeau Flunky & Fellow China Grifter David Johnston rules out public inquiry into Communist China’s interference in Canadian politics

Former governor general David Johnston says China’s interference in Canadian politics is an “increasing threat to our democratic system” but ruled out a public inquiry on the matter, saying intelligence on Beijing’s activities is highly classified and could never be openly discussed with Canadians.

In a 55-page report tabled Tuesday, Mr. Johnston said he uncovered no proof that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ignored intelligence briefings on Chinese influence operations in the 2019 and 2021 elections, or warnings of attempts by Beijing to intimidate Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong.

“I have not found examples of ministers, the Prime Minister or their offices knowingly ignoring intelligence, advice or recommendations on foreign interference or being driven by partisan considerations in dealing with these issues,” he wrote.

The slimy bastards.

This is an unmitigated disaster. He is explaining at length why it is incumbent upon the public not to question his impartiality, rather than upon him as a public officeholder not to put the public in a position of having to wonder.

No public inquiry: David Johnston to instead conduct public hearings on foreign interference

How we got here: China’s unrelenting influence campaign, the Liberals’ mishandling and the questions that remain

Looking back, we should have known. No, strike that, we knew; everybody knew. However much China might have liberalized its economy, whatever material gains it might have made, it was always clear that the Communist Party of China was the same brutal gang of thugs it always was. The Berlin Wall fell in 1989 because Mikhail Gorbachev would not approve shooting the protesters. That same year, at Tiananmen Square, China went in another direction.

Looking back we should have known that the unholy alliance of the corporate and political class were all too willing to sell Canada to the ChiComs.

Personal attacks on Justin Trudeau’s fellow China Class crony David Johnston by Conservatives are ‘unseemly,’ says minister who genuinely expects us to roll over and believe the usual Bullshit

Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc says the Conservatives’ personal attacks against former governor general David Johnston — who is set to reveal Tuesday whether he believes a public inquiry into foreign interference is necessary — are “unseemly.”

LeBlanc, who is also the minister responsible for overseeing democratic institutions, told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos, in an interview airing Sunday, that Johnston is a “senior statesman in public affairs and public service and the law,” and Canadians should judge him for his report, rather than being “unduly agitated by (Conservative Leader Pierre) Poilievre’s negativity.”
