Ahmed Hussen demands to know how someone else let his government partner with an apparent antisemite

Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion, is demanding accountability: How could someone else have let his government pair up with a guy who spews noxious, hateful views on Twitter for an anti-racism project? What will someone else do to make it better? And how can someone else ensure that this sort of thing never happens again?

Nothing will change, progressive racists will continue to be hired to teach racism to our progressive public service.

They’ll be a little more careful saying the quiet part out loud is all.

GUNTER: Political interference should cost commissioner her job

RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki has to go.

Her willingness to potentially jeopardize the criminal investigation into the worst mass killing in Canadian history, just so she could help the Trudeau government push its gun-control agenda, has so compromised her professionalism that she can no longer be trusted to run our national law enforcement agency impartially.

JIVANI: Do Trudeau Liberals even know what racism is anymore?

Justin and fellow racist Laith Marouf

Canada’s federal government is investigating an anti-racism consultant they’ve paid over a hundred thousand dollars. Why? It turns out Trudeau’s expert on anti-racism has said some things that are considered… racist.


I suspect that Marouf is the new normal within Canada’s public service sector given the officially condoned racist belief systems that now percolate throughout Canada’s institutions thanks to the Liberal party.

He got caught is all.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Tiff Macklem wants workers to keep paying for his mistakes

For an institution that continues to claim it’s independent and apolitical, the Bank of Canada sure keeps doing not-so-independent and apolitical things. In the latest news, BoC Governor Tiff Macklem gave insider advice to business leaders not to raise workers’ wages.

How do you best depress worker’s wages?

Open the immigration floodgates as the Trudeau government has done.

How did Pearson airport’s delays get so bad? Inside the patchwork system that failed to stop the crisis

They bore the brunt of the near shutdown of the aviation industry. Tens of thousands of pilots, flight attendants, security screeners and baggage handlers were suddenly out of work when passenger travel all but vanished during the early days of the pandemic. Many of them left the industry for good.

Tim Perry, a WestJet pilot and president of the Canadian arm of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), warned politicians 10 months into the pandemic that it would take several years for all those jobs to return without financial aid from Ottawa.

The solution to every problem in Canada is more socialism for corporate Canada.

China has encroached on Canada’s critical minerals industry, with almost no obstruction from Ottawa

For the past two decades, China has built up a powerful position in Canada’s critical minerals and mining sector, with little oversight from Ottawa

Three years ago, Sinomine Resource Group Co., a Chinese company, quietly bought the Tanco mine in Manitoba. At the time, Tanco was one of the world’s few sources of the critical mineral cesium, a key input in atomic clocks and radiation detectors. The mine had previously produced lithium, a battery metal used in electric cars.

Even though Tanco was owned by an American chemicals company, Cabot Corp., Canada’s federal government had the authority to block the acquisition on national security grounds. But far from blocking the deal, Ottawa appears not to have given it a second glance.

Earlier this year, under its new Chinese ownership, the Tanco mine started producing lithium and shipping it back to China, where it is fed into the country’s massive domestic electric car industry. Tanco is now the only operating lithium mine in Canada, and Sinomine has plans to expand production over the next few years.

Rex Murphy: That sound you hear could be the country fragmenting

The Liberal government’s fixation with Trudeau-style climate action is fracturing Canada

Does it have the authority?

And, if indeed it does have the authority, a question not nearly as clear as the Liberal government believes or presumes, is whether it has the moral and political rights to exercise that authority? Just because something can be done is never the same as it should be done.

Former CSIS honcho says Canadian politicians are on foreign agents’ payroll

A former espionage officer claims that some Canadian politicians are on the payroll of foreign agents.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former chief of the Asia-Pacific desk at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), told the Commons ethics committee, “There are elected officials at all levels whether it’s municipal, provincial or federal who are being paid by foreign governments and who are not necessarily acting in the interests of Canada.”

Ken Coates: Canada is a country without a centre, without a purpose

… But our greatest challenge is at home. One of the world’s most over-governed nations, Canada is on the verge of earning new stripes for ineffective governance. Many Canadians found a safe financial haven with CERB and other support payments during the early years of the pandemic. But the federal government workforce’s almost unchecked expansion has not been matched by higher quality services or improved attention to citizen’s needs.

Government application and reporting systems have turned into expensive slogs, while reporting on outcomes has declined dramatically. Approval processes for mines and major infrastructure projects deter all but the most determined companies. The country is an outlier on oil and gas production; African nations are urging major investments, while Canada does its best to keep this energy in the ground, at great cost to its treasuries.

Pandemic benefits were too generous with businesses, stringent with workers: experts

OTTAWA — Benefits rolled out at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic allowed vulnerable Canadians to stay healthy while maintaining an income, but business supports were excessive and show the outsized influence of business groups on public policy, economists say.

Just Liberals looking after their own, and now they’re erasing Canada and shafting the common man via mass immigration at their corporate cronies demand.

Where has the so-called ‘Freedom Convoy’ gone? Don’t look at us — but let’s talk about it, says a new Ottawa group

The United People of Canada, a new organization now operating out of a historic former church in downtown Ottawa, is very keen to talk about last winter’s so-called “Freedom Convoy.”

It is so keen, in fact, that TUPOC (as it calls itself) has booked two whole weeks of discussion to take place in August, in something billed as “The Freedom Convoy: A Community Conversation.”

Jamie Sarkonak: Some are more equal than others, according to Canada’s immigration ministry

In a corporate plan for an anti-racist “systems change,” Canada’s immigration ministry says it isn’t fair to treat people equally regardless of background. Instead, people should be treated according to their level of innate privilege.

In other words, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has embraced critical race theory — or diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), as it’s called in practice — with a plan called Anti-Racism Strategy 2.0. It openly signals a shift to the ideological left.

The criminally insane are running the asylum.

Rex Murphy: Jagmeet Singh’s perplexing support for a government he seems to despise

It’s better than most soap operas — the turbulent on-again, off-again mutual support society of NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and his consort, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Yet it gets increasingly difficult to make sense of Singh’s daily Twitter tirades against Trudeau’s Liberals. A secondary perplexity is the absence of any equally fiery volleys from Trudeau. Is there such a thing as a “one-way” war? If so, it is a very curious matter. For it amounts to one side verbally shelling the other on a quite consistent basis — the other side staying mute under said fire — and then both meeting up for dinner and a chat, friendly words all round, and Mr. Singh restating, “Hey, don’t mind the noise, I’ve got your back till 2025.”

There are a lot of very dumb people in the NDP.

Where have all the workers gone? Don’t blame COVID, economists say

“… We are losing people who are trained as early childhood educators because we won’t pay them more than we pay pet groomers. Well why would they stay if they can get a better job in some other sector?”

That’s borne out by Statistics Canada data showing the reservation wage — the minimum hourly rate at which job seekers are willing to accept a position — surpassing the current offered wage in nearly every sector, whereas Canadian workers have historically been willing to settle for less.

Economists believe there are other possible outcomes — increasing automation to fill the vacuum left by the labour shortage, for one. Some industries could also bring in more temporary foreign workers to help fill gaps at the lower end of the labour market, potentially blunting the gains made by domestic workers.”


The article is  LPC propaganda offering the carrot of possibly increased wages for working people.

We all know the Trudeau government has chosen record mass immigration regardless of “fit” to make up the numbers the corporate welfare class needs to depress wages.

Even Ford is jumping on the open flood-gate bandwagon.

The article is contradicted by the Liberal Party’s own 2022 budget document: Douglas Todd: Why Canadian wages never seem to go up

 The downplayed chart, one tiny aspect of the 304-page document, serves as a warning that individual Canadians, compared to the citizens of 39 other economically advanced countries, will in the next decades likely suffer the lowest real growth in their wages.
