Canada’s Corrupt Political Class

Gwyn Morgan: Canada’s unfair public-private compensation gap

It seems the enormous compensation and job security advantages enjoyed by public sector employees aren’t enough

… Meanwhile, during COVID public-sector workers kept their jobs, added two years’ credit to their gilded pension benefits and even, many of them, received wage increases. Statistics Canada’s January 2022 Labour Force Survey found that all of the country’s 206,000 job losers were private-sector employees. Public-sector employment, on the other hand, was 305,000 higher than at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020.

Add in the Corporate Welfare Class, the State Media and the NGO’s and Not for Profits that rely on tax payer largesse and you have the landscape of the political class that keeps a dolt like Justin Trudeau in power.

The risk of political violence in Canada has never been higher

Some time in the not too distant future, when the first Canadian politician has been assassinated since Pierre Laporte, we will all look back and wonder what we could have done to prevent it.

The probable answer is: Not much, in the sense of that particular attack. It is always easy to discover, after the fact, warning signs that were missed, gaps in security that should have been plugged. It is a much harder thing to identify these in advance.

This is really just an anti-Poilievre piece.

Canada’s government-driven labour market recovery is unsustainable

At first glance, according to several commonly used indicators, Canada’s labour market has recovered from the initial COVID recession that began in 2020. Canada’s unemployment rate is now lower than when the pandemic hit, and the employment rate (the share of the adult population that’s working) has almost recovered to pre-COVID levels.

However, the story is more complicated than the headline numbers suggest. The latest monthly labour force statistics confirm that the government sector – not the private sector – has driven job growth since 2020.

Policing won’t get better until politicians get their hands dirty

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau weighed in last week on a vile campaign of racist and misogynist harassment currently being endured by several Canadian women in the public eye, including journalists — a campaign that police have not been terribly interested in addressing, according to the women’s reports. (One reported being advised to “lower your expectations,” which some Canadian police forces nowadays may as well adopt as their motto.)

Rex Murphy: The Liberals and an incomparable travesty of hate

The Laith Marouf scandal, for that is emphatically what it is, of a fully public (it was all on Twitter, some on tape and film) antisemite receiving more than half a million taxpayers’ dollars from the government of Canada, caught even the laziest eye. I have observed it was a singular instance of “paying” the fox to raid the chicken house.

Denouncing The Diagolonoids

A Canadian right-wing nut is peddling a satirical meme about a diagonally-shaped North American superstate. Needless to say, much of the country’s intellectual class is terrified.

Last month, Pierre Poilievre, the populist front-runner in the race to become leader of Canada’s federal Conservative party, was photographed shaking hands with Jeremy MacKenzie, a former soldier facing weapons and harassment charges. MacKenzie is an odd duck who combines a penchant for extremist right-wing rhetoric with a predilection for ironic Internet memes. But almost no one in Canada knew his name until that now infamous handshake. As for Poilievre, he says he didn’t recognize MacKenzie, or form any particular memory of having met him—a claim that even progressive journalists have admitted is entirely credible.

Trudeau government developing path to permanent residency for an estimated 500,000 illegal alien invaders

Canada developing path to permanent residency for undocumented workers

Canada’s undocumented workers could gain a new avenue to permanent residency through a program under development by the federal government to tackle the underground economy.

It is a pivotal turning point for some of the 500,000 undocumented residents estimated to be in Canada. Many work precarious and often exploitative jobs in construction, cleaning, caregiving, food processing and agriculture.

Undocumented residents face a range of vulnerabilities, including poor mental and physical health caused by social isolation and abusive working conditions.

The Trudeau government is fighting inflation on the backs of the poor. Mass immigration ensures depressed wages. The Bank of Canada has recently instructed the corporate class not to increase wages, how convenient.

GOLDSTEIN: Pandemic employment recovery almost all gov’t jobs, report says

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals boast about Canada’s historically low unemployment rate of 4.9% as a sign of economic recovery from the pandemic, a new study by the Fraser Institute reports almost all of the gains have been in the public sector.

What happens when civil servants get partisan?

Non-partisanship is a principle of Canada’s public service. So when Ottawa civil servants cheered Trudeau’s arrival, they violated a basic principle of government

Trudeau is shoring up the base at our expense.

Canadian politics has a rage problem — and politicians have to be part of the solution

On a June day nearly 40 years ago, Brian Mulroney happened upon a 63-year-old woman named Solange Denis. Mulroney’s government was proposing to make a change to Old Age Security. Denis was mad about that and — with reporters watching — she conveyed her displeasure directly to the prime minister.

Mulroney’s run-in with Denis became a national story. The government was compelled to back down and “Goodbye Charlie Brown” subsequently became shorthand for how a single interaction with a voter can waylay a politician and a government.

What happened to Chrystia Freeland in Grande Prairie, Alberta last week was something else entirely — and many political leaders, from across the partisan spectrum, seemed to recognize that immediately. Among those who condemned the incident were Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford, two politicians who have had their differences with the federal Liberal government.

The nerve of the CBC publishing this tripe. The anger at the Trudeau Liberals is justified.

Vivian Bercovici: Laith Marouf embodies critical race theory that is so popular in Ottawa

Laith Marouf, who is now an international household name, seems to have had a bad week. After his many antisemitic twitter rantings became a source of controversy for Ottawa, his government contract was suspended. Explaining why he locked his twitter account, he blames three prominent “Zios” myself included, who he says were “directing their attack dogs” to him.

‘No place’ for harassment in Canada: Politicians slam verbal attack against Deputy PM

Across the nation, Canadian politicians – current and former – are denouncing an incident in Alberta during which Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland appeared to have been verbally harassed on Friday.

“There is absolutely no place in our country for the harassment, intimidation and threatening conduct that [Chrystia Freeland] and her staff were subjected to last night,” federal minister of public safety Marco Mendicino said online about the 14-second Twitter video.

Maybe the Prime Minister should cease calling citizens racists and Islamophobes, better yet maybe his government should stop hiring disgusting racists like Laith Marouf.

Rex Murphy: What’s the Liberals’ excuse for hiring an ‘anti-racist’ who spews antisemitism?

Here is the essence of the extraordinary story of the Federal Anti-Racism Secretariat and Laith Marouf, its dollar-swaddled beneficiary.

A grant of 133,000 taxpayer dollars is given to the Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC) to build an anti-racism strategy for the broadcasting sector. The CMAC’s senior consultant, Laith Marouf, has made multiple antisemitic posts. He is also not kind to Americans or French Canadians. He is a practiced gymnast of vile attitudes.

Years of racist indoctrination and diversity hiring within our government & predatory public service unions are behind the Marouf hiring.

I’m willing to bet that those responsible are shocked anyone could possibly fault them.

Welcome to “Peak Trudeau” – a sick culture that rewards racists. 

And don’t for a minute think it will get better because Marouf made headlines.

The Kumbaya Kool-Aid Klan are triumphant. Now shut up and don’t rock the boat.

Trudeau Granted Establishment Media $100-Million+ Bailout

The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on Tuesday revealed direct federal subsidies to the broadcast industry during the pandemic exceeded $100 million in Canadian dollars (about $77 million U.S.), plus a $36.5 million giveaway from waiving license fees.

Canada’s convoy movement waved the Dutch flag. Then conspiracy theories swirled about fertilizer and bugs

Over the summer, supporters of the Freedom Convoy movement have continued to hold anti-mandate demonstrations across the country, attracting anywhere from a few dozen to several hundred people in places like Sudbury, Ont., Acheson, Alta., and Regina.

Like the protests in Ottawa last winter, these smaller demonstrations featured big rigs, pickup trucks and honking — though they tended to last only a few hours and kept to parking lots or slow-moving convoys on highways.

But they also featured a new — and perhaps surprising — symbol: The flag of the Netherlands was being waved alongside the more familiar Maple Leaf and F–k Trudeau banners.

I am grateful to see that F*ck Trudeau banners are recognized as part of the political landscape.

The CBC is in full “Scare Mode”. All “right wing media” in Canada are spreaders of crazy conspiracy theories harmful to the national fabric crafted by Justin the Savior.

Adam Zivo: Justin Trudeau’s reprehensible jab at pro-Taiwanese diplomacy

Last Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said during a news conference that his government will ensure that Canadian parliamentarians planning to visit Taiwan as part of an upcoming trade mission “reflect” on the “consequences” of their visit. Trudeau’s euphemistic jab at pro-Taiwanese diplomacy was reprehensible, undermining the independence of Canada’s parliamentary associations and tacitly validating China’s threat this week to punish Canadians should the visit occur.
