He must, with the same vigour he applies to stopping oil from getting out of Alberta, now man all stations to make sure oil keeps going into Ontario.
Canada’s incompetent Liberal Government
Who is the real “stinking albatross”?
The mainstream media continues to be out of step with the conservative movement – and ordinary Canadians.
In a Globe and Mail column entitled Tory MP’s bill to ban sex-selective abortion is the stinking albatross Erin O’Toole was warned about Konrad Yakabuski made several baseless accusations about why pro-lifers are not electable for the Conservative Party of Canada.
“Anti-choice groups claim to be acting in the name of ‘gender equality,’ though their ultimate goal of banning abortion – and depriving all women of a fundamental right – shows this claim to be disingenuous,” Yakabuski writes.
This claim has numerous innate errors. To begin, there is no right to abortion in Canada. The 1988 Morgentaler decision ruled that Parliament needed to create a new law to regulate abortion – it has since failed to do so, and thus Canada is in a situation in which abortion is neither legal nor illegal. Canada is one of two countries in the world where this is the case – the other being North Korea.

Ottawa tables legislation to send striking Port of Montreal workers back on the job
Federal Labour Minister Filomena Tassi has tabled back-to-work legislation for the Port of Montreal’s 1,150 dock workers, who have been on strike since Monday morning.
The legislation, set to be debated Tuesday afternoon, would require employees to return to work after the bill passes. It would also extend their previous collective agreement until a new one is negotiated.
The legislation would also prevent any strikes or lockouts until a new agreement is signed and impose a mediator-arbitrator on both parties if negotiations fail again. Workers at the port also walked off the job seven months ago.
Canada will be in lockstep with allies on vaccine passports: Trudeau
“We are of course looking very very carefully at this issue, even as we are in the third wave right now, dealing with extremely urgent and difficult situations. We continue to plan for how we reopen the economy, how we reopen our borders, how we get back to normal, which is something that all Canadians want to do. Obviously, as was the case pre-pandemic, certificates of vaccination are a part of international travel to certain regions and are naturally to be expected when it comes to this pandemic and the coronavirus,” said Trudeau during a news conference.

Patty Hajdu’s Dismissal Of Vitamin D Is Another Example Of Her Dangerous Incompetence
Someone who doesn’t know much about a topic can at least have the awareness to realize they are ignorant and can listen to those who are wiser. Hajdu doesn’t even seem capable of that.
