Canada’s Corrupt Political Class

Terry Newman: Striking federal workers are hardly ordinary working-class Canadians

A recent article in the National Observer suggested that “real” populists would support the public workers currently on strike in Ottawa, which includes 159,000 federal employees in various departments, from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to Veterans Affairs.

The article calls these public workers “working class” and attacks Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for not championing them. Poilievre sells himself as the politician who cares about the little guy, so why doesn’t he care about these guys? Is this not a populist movement?

Most of Blackie’s media have been pushing this insulting “public service union as working class” canard.

The public service is 74% unionized with wages and benefits the working class, (13% unionized,) can only dream of.

Did you get full pay to stay home during the pandemic? Did you get a bonus for just breathing during the pandemic?

Didn’t think so.

Trudeau says handing out billions to Volkswagen ‘not a waste of money’, calls out Poilievre for lack of support

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his government’s move to spend as much as $13 billion into a new battery plant for auto giant Volkswagen and set the willingness to subsidize green manufacturing as a major difference between his party and the Conservatives.

You know in your heart this will be the Mother of all Boondoggles.

GTA rents hit record $3,000, creating a ‘very alarming’ situation … Trudeau’s mass immigration policy is paying off BIGLEY for his corporate cronies

Average rents in purpose-built apartments broke the $3,000 barrier for the first time in the first quarter of this year — the sixth straight quarter in which Toronto area rents have seen double-digit year-over-year increases, according to Urbanation.

The situation is “very alarming,” even though rent growth has moderated, said Shaun Hildebrand, president of the market research firm, on Thursday. Rents slowed to 13.8 per cent annual growth in the first quarter from 15 per cent in the final quarter of last year and 17 per cent in the second quarter of 2022. The figures apply to purpose-built apartments constructed since 1985.

Canada offering more than C$13 bln over decade for Volkswagen battery plant, govt source says

OTTAWA, April 20 (Reuters) – Canada agreed to provide subsidies of up to C$13 billion ($9.7 billion) over a decade plus a C$700 million grant to lure Volkswagen AG into building its North American battery plant in the country, a government source said confirming an earlier report by Bloomberg News.

The total Canadian investment, which could include funds from the Ontario government also, will largely match what Volkswagen would have got from the United States through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the source said.

Government funded media outlet lashes out after barbarian conservatives speak ill of another notoriously biased government funded media outlet CBC

Pierre Poilievre’s solution for a ‘broken’ Canada is to break more things — including the CBC

Pierre Poilievre appears to have divided this country into two nations. There’s the Canada that Justin Trudeau broke, and then there is the Canada that the Conservative leader himself wants to break.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation definitely falls into the want-to-break category. As Trudeau put it on Monday, Poilievre despises the CBC so much that he’s willing to join forces with Twitter’s mercurial new owner, Elon Musk.

“The fact that he has to run to American billionaires for support to attack Canadians says a lot about Mr. Poilievre and his values,” Trudeau said at a morning press conference.

Spoken by a tone deaf idiot whose circle line their pockets courtesy Communist China’s “Billionaires.”

What is the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and what does it do?

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation has been mired in a political controversy that pushed the organization’s president and board to resign last week.

At the centre of the controversy is a 2016 donation from two donors with links to the Chinese government. The donors pledged $200,000 to the foundation at the time.

While the donation spurred an initial controversy in 2016, interest in the story revived in the wake of recent media reports stating Beijing interfered in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections. The foundation said it would reimburse the funds but apparently ran into administrative roadblocks. (Radio-Canada has confirmed the donation has since been returned.)

CBC Not Even Trying To Hide It Anymore … The strange death and rebirth of the Liberal Party under Trudeau

The strange death and rebirth of the Liberal Party under Trudeau

The 2011 federal election seemed to have fundamentally changed Canadian politics. And maybe it did. Just not quite in the way it was imagined.

In theory, that vote heralded the arrival of a new political era. The Liberal Party’s day was done — the broadly centrist institution that dominated Canadian politics in the 20th century was no longer fit for purpose. Canada would finally become more like its sister democracies, with a clear contest between a distinct party of the political right and a distinct party of the left. The future seemed to belong to the Conservatives and the NDP.

CBC lays it on thick to support their scandal plagued Boss.

Using immigration to fill vacant, lower-skilled jobs is not sound economic policy

Ask a Canadian why the government is increasing immigration and more often than not they will tell you: “to grow our economy.” Ask an economist and you’ll rarely get that answer.

Boosting the economic well-being of a population is indeed a worthwhile objective of immigration, but that requires more than simply making the economy bigger.

India’s economy is 60 per cent bigger than Canada’s and Switzerland’s is 60 per cent smaller. Is India’s economy what we are aiming for? Making the economic pie as big as possible is clearly not the objective. What matters is the size of the average slice when the pie is divided by the population.

It’s a great policy if your goal is to treat citizens like shit. Canada’s China Class loves it.

Accepted Pay For Play ChiCom Payoff: Board, CEO of Pierre Elliott Trudeau foundation steps down

Citing politicization of a 2016 donation allegedly orchestrated by the Chinese government, the board of directors for the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation has stepped aside.

A statement posted to the foundation’s website early Tuesday morning broke the news, saying President and CEO Pascale Fournier and the board made the decision to jointly resign.

“In recent weeks, the political climate surrounding a donation received by the foundation in 2016 has put a great deal of pressure on the foundation’s management and volunteer board of directors, as well as on our staff and our community,” read the statement.

Is Canada’s China Class starting to sweat?

Liberal-NDP coalition excludes the Anti-Woke Left

It has been just over one year since the Liberal-NDP coalition formed a confidence-and-supply agreement. CBC News says this agreement could be “a model for the future.”

But it’s clear this coalition has not been good for Canadians who don’t buy into a woke political agenda, including the “anti-woke left.”

Howard Levitt: On the China file, Johnston fails the test of Caesar’s wife — and he must know it

“With conflict of interest, the rule of Caesar’s wife applies. It must not only be pure but must be seen to be pure.” — Bursey vs. Acadia Motors, N.B. Court of Appeal

Does the conduct of our former governor general, David Johnston, in accepting the position of special rapporteur with respect to the Chinese government’s influence in two federal elections, a post that requires him to decide on the ethics of his friend and cottage neighbour Justin Trudeau, pass the purity test? Meaning, not only is he free of a conflict of interest, but is he “seen” to be “pure,” (i.e. unimpeachable) as well?

Johnston is a member of Canada’s China Class, like Justin Trudeau, Dominic Barton, John McCallum and many others in government, business and academia.

They have conspired to sell our country out to the ChiComs for personal gain.

They deserve nothing but our contempt.

Former CSIS officials say decades of China warnings went unheeded

Former CSIS officials say the intelligence agency has been warning successive governments about foreign election interference for decades but all failed to act — and measures outlined in this week’s budget are not enough to address the problem.

“Thirty-two years in national security work, every time we’ve had a crisis, every time we’ve had an incident, that’s what the government’s done. We’ll throw money at the RCMP, we’ll say you folks have got to sort that out. And I don’t think that’s really an appropriate response,” Dan Stanton, former executive manager at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), told a committee of MPs on Friday.

More than half of Chinese Canadians say suggesting some Chinese-Canadian politicians are under Beijing’s influence is racist, only 1/3 believe ChiComs are election meddling

A third of Chinese Canadians believe Beijing meddling in elections, pressuring Canadians: poll

Just over a third of Chinese Canadians believe the government of China has tried to interfere in elections here and pressure Canadians in pursuit of its political aims, suggests a new Postmedia-Leger poll of an ethnic group at the centre of the foreign interference affair.

… At the same time, more than half thought suggesting certain Chinese-Canadian politicians are under Beijing’s influence is racist.

As discussion and debate rages over allegations of meddling by Beijing in Canadian affairs, much attention has turned to the country’s 1.7 million or so residents of Chinese descent.

No punches pulled those numbers indicate a clear danger to our society.

Our Politicians have remade Canada into a balkanized 5th Columnist state via mass immigration, multiculturalism and the denigration of our nations values and heritage.

Playing identity politics with Canada’s security is a vile and dangerous practice that all our political parties engage in.

Down with the Uniparty.

Adam Zivo: CBC keeps coming to Trudeau’s defence over interference scandal

The CBC’s coverage of the China interference scandal has often been questionable and partisan. Though its unsurprising that the organization has chosen to act, yet again, as the Liberals’ state-funded PR wing, its recent decision to platform an apologist for Beijing’s genocide against the Uyghurs is a new low.
