The blinds are still drawn, and the gates remain padlocked at the Canadian embassy in Kyiv, almost three months after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hoisted the flag up the pole and announced the building’s official reopening.
Confusion persists over the meaning of the May 8 ceremony, which was timed to coincide with Trudeau’s visit to Ukraine to meet President Volodomyr Zelenskyy.
Every week I could write a column on the many ways that Justin Trudeau is a hypocrite.
But even I’m surprised by Trudeau’s insincerity on an issue as serious as slavery.
Canadians can soon expect Trudeau to make comments on social media in honour of Emancipation Day. It’s one of the most important days of the year, when we remember the men and women who fought to end slavery in the British Empire in 1834.
A P.E.I. pub has pulled photos of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau from its social media accounts after getting a barrage of hate-filled comments and phone calls.
Trudeau had lunch at Lone Oak’s Charlottetown pub during a brief stop on the Island last week.
While at the pub, owners, staff and customers had their photos taken with the prime minister. The pub later posted those photos on its social media platforms.
That walk in the snow is long past due.
Following a meeting of federal and provincial officials on Friday, the Alberta and Saskatchewan Ministers of Agriculture expressed “profound disappointment” over Trudeau’s decision to attempt to reduce nitrogen emissions from fertilizer in the name of “fighting climate change.”
The federal government is broken — but you wouldn’t know it from following the summer adventures of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
It’s no secret that the prime minister loves photo-ops, but he usually manages to at least tangentially connect them to some sort of issue. War in Ukraine? Time for a heavily photographed European tour. Outrage over residential schools? Someone find him a teddy bear and a well-lit place to kneel.
But his latest string of photo-ops don’t even bother with rhyme or reason as he tours the country seemingly at random, for no real purpose, doing basically nothing. One day he’s playing camp counsellor in the woods, the next he’s all smiles and no mask on a sightseeing train. Next thing you know, he’s picking cherries and chumming it up with fruit growers in British Columbia.
So far, no one’s been able to figure out quite why he’s doing this. He hasn’t used the trips to make any policy or funding announcements, wasn’t in town for fundraisers and the notion of a fall election seems absurd even by Liberal standards.
It’d be great if the media could ask him during one of his many photo-ops, but he’s forbidden journalists from posing questions. He wouldn’t want anything to distract from his carefully curated tableaus, and reporters have a pesky habit of wanting to talk about things other than children’s stories and fruit.
“The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) considers IMVE to have four sub-categories—“xenophobic, gender-driven, anti-authority and other personal grievance-driven violence,” the report outlines.
Anti-authority– to be interpreted as anti-government? Talk about a wide berth for legal interpretation. How will government define “anti-authority” behaviour? How about “any behaviour Justin Trudeau does not like.” Will actual violence have to take place? Or is this an incremental step toward what George Orwell wrote of as “thought-crimes?”
Canada must remain true to its values in clash over arming U.S. customs officers in Canada: Trudeau
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada must be able to remain true to its values as it tries to resolve a dispute with the United States over the legal protections for American customs officers working in Canada.
“There are conversations and discussions going on with the United States,” Trudeau said in Prince Edward Island Friday.
“I think it’s really important that we are able to stay true to our values as Canadians but respect the way we need to work together,” he said. “Those are conversations that are ongoing and I hope that they’ll be resolved soon.”
What an ass. His only value is lying.
“Climate action can’t wait. Since 2015, Canada has been a committed partner in the fight against climate change, and as we move to a net-zero future, we will continue to do our part to cut pollution and build a cleaner future for everyone.”
After which Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew somewhere in the area of 400,000 kilometres in private jets over a six-year period. As reported by the National Post in April, 2022, Trudeau has flown nearly 128,000 km in the past 10 months.
The military says it’s exploring ways to add a layer of secrecy to the movement of some Canadian Armed Forces flights, including the planes that carry the Prime Minister and the Governor-General.
The Royal Canadian Air Force says no decision has been made on how to proceed, but it’s investigating how it might prevent the real-time tracking of military aircraft. One option would be taking steps to ensure that flight-tracking websites, which sell their services for a fee, are unable to display the movement of some Canadian military planes.
Justin Trudeau can take solace from the fact that inflation probably won’t get much worse than June’s reading of 8.1%. The Canadian leader’s political problems, however, are just beginning.
Statistics Canada said Wednesday that annual consumer price gains hit their highest since January 1983, a week after the Bank of Canada surprised markets by hiking interest rates by a full percentage point to beat down inflationary pressures.
Those back-to-back signals make clear that the overheating economy no longer needs the large budget deficits that have characterized Trudeau’s reign as prime minister.
A new survey undertaken by Polling Canada found that Canadians have rated Justin Trudeau the worst Prime Minister of modern times.
Those Who Say (X) Has Been Canada’s Worst Prime Minister:
J. Trudeau: 29%, Harper: 17%, P. Trudeau: 6%, Campbell: 6%, Mulroney: 5%.
With the House of Commons in recess and all the major international summits having wrapped up, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is now spending his summer showing up in random locations.
If you were strolling through Gatineau Park on Friday, you might have seen a loafers-without-socks Trudeau telling stories to a children’s day camp while perched on a tree stump.
