Canada’s Corrupt Political Class

Clinging to Power, Canada Style

There is a very real fear and presentiment across the land that the country is disintegrating, Many Canadians now feel, whether implicitly or overtly, that Canada is on the cusp, teetering on the verge of collapse and dissolution. The National Post reports that “A majority of Canadians looking at the country they see around them say everything seems to be broken. Concerned about rising costs, the state of health care, affordable housing, jobs and more, half of us are also angry about the way Canada is being run.” Similarly, an Ipsos poll found that 7 in 10 Canadians agree that “Canada is broken.” As Lee Harding writes in the Western Standard, our rulers “in our own capital city [are] full of self-aggrandizement, handing out contracts to their friends, serving foreign interests, burying us in public debt, and laying heavy taxes on people.” Sounds like it could be the U.S. under Biden and Harris.

CHARLEBOIS: New grocer code rewrites rules in Canadian market

“… To many, the Grocer Code of Conduct remains an enigma. Fundamentally, this code aims to enhance competition in the Canadian market by imposing accountability across the food industry, particularly targeting practices that have traditionally occurred out of public view. Under this new regime, various opaque practices, such as the exorbitant fees charged to suppliers by retailers, will be subjected to scrutiny and regulation.”

Jack Mintz: Federal employment bloat costing taxpayers at least $10 billion annually

Buried among the many tables in Statistics Canada’s June employment report are data on public sector employment: federal, provincial and local employees hired by departments, agencies, hospitals and schools, including universities and colleges. As of June, 4.412 million workers were public employees, representing 21.5 per cent of Canada’s workforce. That is an astonishing 972,000 more (28.3 per cent) than in 2014, when 3.439 million Canadians were working for governments. And the numbers don’t include contracted services.

New faces, old fears

The front-page headline demanded action: “Time to Close the Gates.” It was March 26, 1908. Centred on the page, a list of three recently murdered men and their four “supposed slayers” – their non-Anglo-Saxon, ethnic names unmissable in all-caps. “The Goth is at our own gates,” The Globe editorial warned.

“One has only to glance at this list to see that the Slav and the Italian are swelling the statistics of crime in this country.” The only effective cure for the “invasion” would be “the closing of the gates on the offscourings of the Slav and Latin races.”

This Globe piece is one of a small flurry of articles that have recently appeared expressing concern about Canadian attitudes toward immigration and or identity politics.

It’s not surprising that the paper of record for Canada’s Corporate cronies will have published 3 such pieces in that last week.

The elite have have sold Canadians a “patriotic myth” that immigration is always beneficial and that to oppose it is racist.

Someone is getting worried about their supply of cheap foreign labour hence the push to remind Canadians to know their place in the run-up to Canada Day.

NDP’s Ashton pays back some money from Christmas trip initially billed to taxpayers

Thief

OTTAWA – A New Democrat member of Parliament has paid back a portion of the thousands of dollars she spent on a Christmastime trip for herself and her family that was paid for with public money.

The federal New Democrats said Manitoba MP Niki Ashton Reimbursed the House of Commons administration for $2,900, part of the more than $17,000 in costs she incurred during a Christmas Day trip to Quebec City followed by a visit to Montreal.

Only $2900.00?

In a country where immigrants are the majority, anti-immigration politics are obsolete

Among the less commented-on results of the Toronto-St. Paul’s by-election was the performance of the People’s Party of Canada, the populist-nationalist party led by former Conservative cabinet minister Maxime Bernier. If you missed it, here it is: they got 234 votes, or 0.63 per cent of the total.

What a disappointment this must be for the PPC, after winning 2.67 per cent of the vote in the riding in the past general election. But it’s in keeping with the trend nationally. In the 2021 election the PPC took nearly 5 per cent of the vote. Nowadays it’s mired in the two-to-three-per-cent range.

Coyne bullshits for a living, but this nonsense is below even his typically low standards.

Slumlord Trudeau: When Asylum Seekers Have Nowhere To Go

Ann doesn’t know how old she is. She thinks she’s probably 40 or 41, but she became separated from her parents as a child, and she has no record of her birth. When she was a child she lived alone on the streets of Kampala, Uganda—one of thousands of homeless youth in the city—and survived by collecting plastic bottles and scrap to sell to recyclers. She slept outside at night, then later in a church, and attended school by day. Remarkably, after years of diligent study, she secured a high school scholarship, saved money and enrolled in university. She earned a degree in international business and began a career in business development for multinational corporations.

“Asylum Seekers”, “Temporary Foreign Workers”, “Foreign Students”, “Mass Immigration” “Chain Migration” “Anchor Babies” all part of the plan to alter Canada’s demographic forever.

And Canadians are made to pay and pay and pay for their ever falling standard of living and fractured low trust society all to appease Trudeau’s corporate cronies and their insatiable demand for cheap labour.

How We Got to 41 Million

For decades, Canada has been a model of inclusive immigration. But over the last few years, the Liberals have admitted too many people, too fast. Why did no one see it coming?

When Canada’s population hit 40 million people last June, the federal government could not contain its excitement. “It’s a strong signal that Canada remains a dynamic and welcoming country, full of potential,” said Anil Arora, Canada’s chief statistician. Canada had grown more quickly than expected—by 1.1 million people over the previous 12 months, mostly due to a huge wave of international students and temporary foreign workers. And yet, despite the fanfare, this population boom wasn’t a good-news story. Because there were not enough homes for all those new people.

The Liberals did see it coming, so did their corporate cronies. Each will benefit from the deliberate harm they have visited upon Canada.

The Liberals intentionally set out to undermine Canadian society by importing votes by the millions.

Our Captains of industry squeal with delight at the pool of wage depressing cheap labour and the profits they’ll reap exploiting the shortages mass immigration creates.

Rest assured virtually none of the foreign students or temporary workers will ever be deported.

Spit in a Liberal’s face.

NDP MP Niki Ashton who is rarely on Parliament Hill billed taxpayers for travel with family over Christmas

Socialism for Nikki means you foot the bill.

An NDP MP who frequently joins parliamentary proceedings remotely from her riding billed the House of Commons for a trip she took to reportedly meet with “stakeholders” over the Christmas holidays in Quebec — travel that included bringing her husband and kids along at taxpayers’ expense.

Parliamentary travel records indicate NDP MP Niki Ashton was only in Ottawa on one occasion for four days during the fall 2022 sitting.

But on Dec. 21 of that year, Ashton flew from Thompson, Man. to Ottawa — five days after the House of Commons had already risen for its Christmas break.

Ruling Class Concerned Public Developing Zero Tolerance For Their Bullshit

Garage set on fire. Smashed windows. MPs and elected officials are rattled by rising intimidation and threats — and ‘someone is going to get seriously hurt’

OTTAWA — It seems only a matter of time before an elected official in Canada gets seriously hurt.

In March, somebody set fire to the garage at Liberal MP Brendan Hanley’s Yukon home.

No one was injured in the blaze that destroyed the garage, two cars and a motorbike, but it left him “shocked,” profoundly shaken, and fearful about the safety of his family, neighbours and those close to him.

Jesse Kline: ‘Independent’ senators give themselves cover to block Poilievre’s agenda

Talk about whether the Senate would thwart the will of the elected House whenever a change of government is expected in Ottawa is almost a right of passage in Canadian politics. And even though Prime Minister Justin Trudeau packed the upper chamber with ostensibly independent senators, the debate remains the same this time around.

‘Divorced from reality’: Why Canadians are losing patience with public servants

Ottawa bureau chief Stuart Thomson talks to Brian Lee Crowley, the managing director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, about the government’s return-to-office plan for public servants.

Although public service unions have reacted angrily to the plan, recent polling shows that Canadians generally support government employees spending more time in the office and less time at home.

Power Corp’s 50+ years behind Quebec prime ministers

Have you ever wondered why Canada has been run by Quebecers for most of the past 60 years? The answer begins with a book almost 100 years old.

In his 1928 book Propaganda, the father of public relations Edward Bernays wrote,

“A presidential candidate may be ‘drafted’ in response to ‘overwhelming popular demand,’ but it is well known that his name may be decided upon by half a dozen men sitting around a table in a hotel room.

“In some instances the power of invisible wirepullers is flagrant.”

Chris Alexander: I am a former immigration minister. Unsustainable population increases won’t solve Canada’s underlying issues

In March, the Globe and Mail reported that Canada’s population had grown by 1.3 million in 2023—the largest annual increase on record.

This surge was driven by higher numbers of immigrants, international students, temporary foreign workers, and asylum claimants.

Given that the 2021 census showed that 8.3 million Canadians, or 23 percent of our population, had an immigrant background, this latest increase means that, in a Canada of over 40 million people, one in four of us is a temporary or permanent resident, or was born abroad. This proportion of newcomers is the highest since Confederation, beating the previous record of 22.3 percent set in 1921. By comparison, the immigrant share of the U.S. population is today about 14 percent.

Anthony Furey: The Sheldon Keefe Firing Offers a Lesson for the Public Sector

The firing of Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe on May 9 was a perfect case study in why sometimes you just need to shake things up a little bit and let someone go from your operation. If only the public sector operated the same way.

This NHL playoffs season there was, as always, great hope that the Leafs would beat the odds and go the distance. But as round one against Boston went into game seven there was, as always, broken hearts as the Leafs lost in overtime.
