Governor General, guests rack up $100K in-flight catering bill during Dubai trip

OTTAWA — Canada’s vice-regal racked up a nearly $100,000 catering bill on board a government aircraft during a recent week-long trip to the Middle East.

An order paper question submitted by Conservative MP Michael Barrett shows Gov. Gen. Mary Simon and her 29 fellow passengers using $93,117.89 in catering services aboard an RCAF CC-150 Polaris during her March 16 to March 24 trip to Expo 2020 in Dubai.

Can anyone explain why this token figurehead needs to meet with anyone abroad? Did they find potential mass graves in Dubai?

National handgun ‘freeze’ among new firearm regulations proposed by Ottawa

A national freeze on importing, buying or selling handguns is a central feature of firearm-control legislation tabled today by the federal Liberals.

The government says the bill would also allow for the removal of gun licences from people involved in acts of domestic violence or criminal harassment, such as stalking.

The government plans to fight gun smuggling and trafficking by increasing criminal penalties, providing more tools to investigate firearms crimes and strengthening border measures.

Government tables bill to freeze sale, imports of handguns

New gun control legislation the federal government tabled today includes a national freeze on the purchase, sale, importation and transfer of handguns in Canada — the government’s most ambitious attempt yet to restrict access to firearms in this country.

While the proposal falls short of a full ban on handguns, it would effectively limit the number of them in Canada.

“In other words, we’re capping the market for handguns,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a press conference Monday.

Until now only criminals were interested in smuggled guns. Now normal citizens will have no choice.

Pierre Poilievre is right: Fire the gatekeepers, starting with the lifelong politicians

… The worst of the gatekeepers, as we all know, are the lifelong politicians: the men and women who have never stepped foot in the real world except to pose for cheesy photo-ops and maybe to find someone to clean their income properties. They are the ones who joined political parties before they could vote, who have been living off taxpayers since they were barely old enough to rent a car, and who earned a generous public pension at the ripe old age of 31, when many Canadians nowadays can barely afford to move out of their parents’ home.

We do need term limits and that’s only a start.

Majority Report: Canada’s Latest Advance in Precognitive Legislation

The 2002 film Minority Report was a box office success and, like the Matrix franchise, emerged as one of the most talked-about movies of recent times. The crux of the film involved a “precrime” policing unit that could act to prevent crimes before they were committed, on evidence provided by a team of comatose subjects with precognitive abilities. Of course, the plot was utterly absurd, demanding major suspension of viewer disbelief, but nonetheless provocative in its social and political implications.

GUNTER: The persecution of Tamara Lich and the gross overreaction to the convoy

Bizarre. Excessive. And indicative of an elite class that has lost its collective mind. At a bail hearing on Thursday, the federal government tried hard to have Tamara Lich returned to jail.

Lich, one of the organizers of February’s Freedom Convoy, has been free on bail for the past couple of months awaiting trial on charges of mischief and counselling others to commit mischief, plus obstructing police and intimidation.

Terry Glavin: There’s no Huawei ‘ban’ until we get it in writing

Among the many circumlocutions and outright non-answers to straightforward questions about what the federal government announced Thursday, in relation to restraints Canada might place on the ability of China’s multinational telecommunications giants to hack, spy and hold Canada’s critical telecommunications infrastructure to ransom, it isn’t easy to pick one that stands out in its absurdity. That’s because there were so many of them.

The Trudeau government isn’t using all the tools to protect Canadians from inflation, economist says

… Prime Minister Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland have been reminding people that the factors driving inflation are not entirely within their control. Supply chain backlogs and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are the main culprits making life less and less affordable for Canadians — especially those on fixed incomes.

One expert said the government’s talking points on the causes of inflation are “a bit of a cop-out.”

“It’s a half-truth at best,” said Carleton University economist Vivek Dehejia during a panel discussion on this weekend’s edition of The House about what can be done to reduce the impact of inflation on Canadians.

They are however continuing their mass immigration plans. They hope to fight inflation by depressing wages. It’s a lie. It won’t work because the total of working class wages are simply not large enough to move the inflation needle. In truth it’s their justification for doing their corporate cronies a favour.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Liberals ban Huawei after inexcusable delay

They finally did it. Nearly three years after they promised a decision on Huawei ahead of the 2019 election, the federal Liberals grew a backbone and officially banned the Chinese telecommunications firm from Canada’s 5G network.

As the saying goes, better late than never, but the Trudeau government’s painfully slow march toward making an obvious choice –– one made much quicker by many peer nations — raises some serious questions.

Calling Poilievre a white supremacist over use of ‘Anglo Saxon’ disgusting and laughable

Have you heard the latest from the chattering classes about Pierre Poilievre?

They have proof that he’s a racist and a white supremacist because he used the term Anglo Saxon.

I wish I was making this up but there are actual stories out there making this claim by supposedly serious journalists.

We’ve all seen this movie. The political class  & their left media minions are attempting to paint all criticism of immigration policy as white supremacist and the result of The Great Replacement bugaboo. God forbid you attempt to defend your culture, only Quebec and other government approved victims are allowed to do that. And heaven help us if you defend the rule of law against the left’s open borders madness. Didn’t you absorb the learnings of your CRT indoctrination class you evil white skinned oppressor?

In Canada our mainstream political parties and their corporate cronies favour a mass immigration policy that furthers their interests not yours. They care only about meeting their magic numbers and not the consequences of their choices. The following statement will have me labeled a proponent of The Great Replacement Theory: Sound immigration policy should benefit citizens not corporate earnings or the vote whoring lust of venal politicians. Call me what you want, I won’t stop discussing our destructive immigration policy.

Unfortunately for Canada dissent is being criminalized. Time to ditch your oppressor’s political parties.

John Ivison: A banker’s cars firebombed in the night and progressive politicians stay silent

It’s time that progressive politicians condemn left-wing extremist violence with the same lack of equivocation as most conservatives denounce right-wing extremism

Former Conservative minister and senior RBC executive Michael Fortier and his family were asleep in their Montreal home at 1:30 a.m. on May 4, when he was woken by a neighbour banging on his drain pipe to warn him that the Jaguar and Land Rover parked in the driveway were on fire.

Well John that would require that your associates in the media also condemn “left-wing violence” and call out progressive politicians when they fail to do so. Facts are that the media for the most part are willing minions of the political class that seeks to criminalize “right-wing views.” Antifa, BLM, the Eco-Terrorists etc are their foot soldiers and they will continue to willingly turn a blind eye.

Rex Murphy: A compassionate government would kill its carbon tax right now

 

It’s one of the (dis)advantages of being an antique that you can recall a time when Canada had a $2 bill. There was a time when we had $1 bills, too, but that was even a longer time ago — co-incident I believe with the fall of the Ming dynasty in China — and not even I go back that far.

Baby Formula Shortage: Canadian tax payers subsidize ChiCom Baby Formula maker in Kingston which only sells its product in China

As U.S. baby formula shortage spills into Canada, questions arise over why our biggest producer doesn’t sell to Canadians

… Canada Royal Milk is a Kingston-based plant owned by a Chinese multinational company, which has received government funding through Ontario’s jobs and prosperity fund for the food and beverage sector. The plant, construction for which began in 2017, makes formula with Canadian cow and goat milk, and ships its products to China, said Charlebois.

Canadians essentially subsidize the dairy industry through the supply-management system, argued Charlebois. He thinks that if the company isn’t making products to be sold in Canada, it should have to buy its milk from outside the supply-management chain.

“That would be acceptable because it would no longer be supply-managed, it would no longer be subsidized,” he said.

A spokesperson for the Canadian Dairy Commission said it is very common for processing companies in Canada to buy Canadian supply-managed dairy and use it for products that are then exported.

Our China class at work.
