Canada’s Corrupt Political Class

The Horror! Pierre Poilievre has made the job of Justin Trudeau’s ‘ski buddy’ almost impossible

Long before David Johnston was given a role in Canada’s foreign-interference saga, and even before he served as governor general under a past prime minister, he had a walk-on part in a famous work of fiction.

Johnston was the real-life inspiration for the character “Davey Johnston” in Erich Segal’s tragic novel “Love Story,” which was made into one of the most wept-over films of the 1970s, starring Ryan O’Neal and Ali MacGraw.

So what made an over privileged frat boy become a ChiCom sympathizer?

Bill Blair significantly delayed approval of CSIS surveillance on LPC powerbroker Michael Chan as if to avoid scandal during 2021 election

Bill Blair took months to approve CSIS surveillance of Liberal powerbroker, national-security source says

… Although lawyers for CSIS and independent counsel from the Justice Department approved the warrant as did the office of CSIS director David Vigneault, the source said Mr. Blair, a former Toronto police chief, did not sign off on it until June.

The four-month delay left little time for CSIS to get the approval of a federal judge and to figure out the best ways to plant bugs in Mr. Chan’s cars, home, office, computers and mobile phones before the election campaign got under way.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau triggered the election in August, 2021, for Sept. 20 – a ballot in which the Liberals returned to power with another minority government.

The LPC is in the bag to China.

Doug Ford, Chrystia Freeland spar over whose stash of tax payer cash should be used to rescue Stellantis corporate welfare scheme

OTTAWA – Queen’s Park and Ottawa are at a standoff over funding for a multi-billion battery plant in Windsor, Ont., with the 2,500 jobs hanging in the balance as the company threatens to walk away if a deal can’t be reached.

Stellantis and its partner LG announced the battery plant in January 2022, pledging to create 2,500 new jobs in the community with the $5-billion plant. Details were kept secret at the time, but the company appears to have received $1 billion, split between the federal and provincial governments, to build the plant.

Canada is getting played by Stellantis, but we asked for it

Ottawa and Queen’s Park are getting played by Stellantis but you can’t say they didn’t ask for it. By deciding to engage in a subsidy war with the United States, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford ensured they would be held for ransom.

Politically, they have no choice now but to pay up. Mr. Ford and Mr. Trudeau have boasted so much about attracting electric-vehicle investments, they would both lose face if Stellantis packed up its marbles. They may argue in public over who should pay most of the ransom to prevent Stellantis from cancelling plans to build a $5-billion electric-vehicle battery plant in Windsor, Ont. But none of that will matter in the end.

Neither Ford nor Junior will lose any sleep over this heinous waste of tax payer money.

Jack Mintz: Public-sector employment growth is badly distorting labour markets

The federal public servant strikes reminded Canadians that public-sector employees have a pretty good deal. On an apples-to apples comparison, their pay is higher on average than in the private sector. Their jobs are secure even in a recession. And they benefit from rich, inflation-indexed pensions. They may also get more vacation and paid-leave days compared to the private sector.

Windsor Mayor Demands Frankie Champagne Extort Tax Payers For Bigger Stellantis & LG EV Battery Plant Bribe After VW Hit Corporate Welfare Jackpot

Windsor mayor calls out Ottawa after Stellantis accuses feds of failing on plant deal

The mayor of a southwestern Ontario city says he expects the federal government to live up to a deal that would see one of the world’s biggest automakers build an electric vehicle battery plant in the area.

Stellantis says the federal government has not delivered on an agreement with the automaker and South Korean battery-maker LG Energy Solution to build a battery plant in Windsor, Ont.

People can’t afford shelter or food and are taxed to death but the fucking Liberals can always find a reason to grease Corporate palms.

‘This is a system that’s breaking’: Toronto food bank lineups swell as grocery prices spike

On Saturday mornings, Maggie Herdman, 31, leaves her home near Jane and Eglinton at 6 a.m. to commute nearly an hour to the Fort York Food Bank. Once there, it can take up to four hours before it’s her turn to shop inside the small College Street storefront.

Before the pandemic, Herdman used to be able to relax, sit down and read as she waited inside. Now, through rain and snow, she stands by as the line snakes behind her towards Kensington Market. “I’ve gotten sick before,” said Herdman, a recipient of Ontario Works. “But I still do it.”

All of this misery lies at the feet of our ruling class. Mass immigration, supported by the Uniparty has driven shelter costs beyond the reach of many, young, old it doesn’t discriminate.

Anybody seen any trickle down from the public service strike? Didn’t they claim they were “fighting” so everyone could enjoy gold plated benefits like they have?

Who thought that Canada would become a Banana Republic governed by greed.

Liberal-funded pro sexual mutilation of children charity trying to ban Fox News

Jamie Sarkonak: Egale, the Liberal-funded charity trying to ban Fox News

The rights organization that asked the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to ban Fox News gets the majority of its money from government.

It’s an awfully lucrative funding stream for an organization that happens to call for the silencing of the federal government’s ideological opponents. While federal funding certainly isn’t a death sentence for credibility, it’s something to be mindful of — especially when that money is new, and especially when the recipient seems to align with government on many issues.

To David Johnston: Canada needs a public inquiry

To David Johnston:

You have accepted the unenviable task of deciding upon the course of action to be followed by the government in the matter of Chinese intervention in Canada’s electoral process. You’ve been asked to review the findings of two closed-door panels that the federal government has set up to investigate Beijing’s interference activities in the 2019 and 2021 elections, and make recommendations that could include a formal inquiry, a judicial review, or some other process. That is the commitment that was made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when he appointed you as the independent special rapporteur on foreign interference in March.

Quebec government rejects Trudeau’s immigration plan, fears decline of French

MONTREAL – Canada’s plan to increase immigration is stoking fears among Quebec’s political class, who say the changes would reduce the province’s influence in the country and make it harder to protect French.

Provincial legislature members today adopted a motion declaring Canada’s plan incompatible with the protection of French in Quebec and that the province must have complete control over its immigration.

Premier François Legault said Tuesday that Quebec would not accept a big rise in immigration because of the need to properly integrate, house and educate newcomers.

Former Trudeau Foundation trough hog says engaging with Chinese officials was ‘naïve’

Morris Rosenberg, the former president and CEO of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, says in retrospect the embattled charity was naïve to think it would have “soft power” over China when it accepted money in 2016 with ties to the Chinese government.

The former veteran public servant told a parliamentary committee Tuesday night that at the time, there was a belief that engaging with Chinese officials would familiarize them with Canadian governance, rule of law and human rights.

“Was that naïve at the time? In hindsight, probably it was naive,” said Rosenberg.

“We felt we could do more good.”

What gall.

Canadians can’t afford groceries but Trudeau buys PSAC vote bloc loyalty with 12.6 per cent raise compounded over four years and a $2500.00 pension payment

Tentative agreement reached for 120,000 public servants

… In a statement on its website, PSAC said the tentative agreement includes wage increases of 12.6 per cent compounded over four years, and a one-time, pensionable lump sum payment of $2,500.

It includes language on remote work that gives members “additional protection” from “arbitrary decisions,” and it requires managers to assess requests individually instead of by group, and give responses in writing to allow members and PSAC to “hold the employer accountable to equitable and fair decision-making,” PSAC said.

Trudeau and his civil servants are vile thieves. I will vote for the party that vows to slice and dice the public service unions.

Why Does Xi’s Puppet Trudeau Fight The Implementation Of A Foreign Agent Registry? Maybe Because A Report By CSIS Says It Would Be An Obstacle To China’s Interference In Canada

China views Canada as a ‘high priority’ for interference: CSIS report

China sees Canada as a “high-priority target” and employs “incentives and punishment” as part of a vast influence network directed at legislators, business executives and diaspora communities in this country, according to a top-secret intelligence assessment from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

The report warned that Beijing is the “foremost perpetrator” of foreign interference in Canada. Its agents are unconcerned about repercussions, the report says, because of the lack of obstacles such as a foreign-influence registry of the kind established in the United States and Australia.

Justin has been harping about the potential dangers of a foreign agent registry because Canada is of course racist and we’ll probably use it to single out his ChiCom buddies and disrupt the China Grift. That sounds like the voice of Xi’s Puppet rather than a PM with the nation’s best interests in mind.

The continued exposure of China’s influence operations in Canada points to willful blindness bordering on collusion by the Trudeau government.

I maintain the ongoing exposure of China’s shenanigans may not be the work of a single leaker in CSIS and may in fact be a joint effort involving an ally or allies of Canada seeking to topple Xi’s Puppet because of the obvious security risk Trudeau and his party pose to the west.

PS. In the CBC article linked above detailing the potential harms of a foreign registry Trudeau references the internment of Italian Canadians during WW II. One small problem for Junior is that with a few unfortunate exceptions most detainess really were fascists.

The harm done by Justin Trudeau’s apology to Italian-Canadians might require an apology of its own

… Mr. Liberati compiled his own biographical database of the internees. He found police had detailed dossiers indicating involvement in fascist organizations for at least 100 of them. Even 500, however, represented a small fraction of the 3,500 Italian-Canadians known to have been members of local fascist groups.

“[M]any who later professed their loyalty to Canada had in fact been fervent Fascists and had maintained their positions even during their internment,” Mr. Liberati writes.

The spotlight is shining a little hotter on the Trudeau Family Business

Douglas Todd: Many Canadian politicians belong to the landlord class. We should question their motivations

It’s relevant to ask about conflict of interest when so many cabinet ministers and MPs make serious money through their real estate investments.

Having so many Canadian politicians invested in real estate is a problem.

In the midst of an affordability crisis that has struck Canada harder than almost any other country, the public should be worried that an unusually high proportion of its politicians are landlords.

… In addition to the real estate holdings of Liberal cabinet ministers — notably including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, Housing Minister Ahmed Hussen and cabinet ministers David Lametti and Francois-Philippe Champagne — 38 per cent of the MPs in all parties are real estate financiers or landlords.

The U.S. is cracking down on Chinese ‘police stations’ with a tool that Justin Trudeau doesn’t want because it’ll hurt the China grift

American authorities used a legal tool that doesn’t exist in Canada: a foreign agents registry

The United States has launched a crackdown on so-called Chinese police stations operating on its soil using a legal mechanism that doesn’t exist in Canada, at least not yet — a registry of foreign agents.

U.S. authorities this week announced they had shut down what they referred to as a Chinese police station in lower Manhattan.

The criminal charges they laid were against two American citizens who allegedly failed to register their work on behalf of the People’s Republic of China.

Trudeau plays identity politics with our security in order to protect the China grift.

Why is Justin Trudeau sowing confusion about a foreign influence registry?

Asked this week about the need for Ottawa to create a foreign influence registry, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the internment of Japanese-Canadians in the Second World War and warned against the dangers of creating “registries of foreigners in Canada.”
