MALCOLM: Trudeau needs to muster the courage to condemn Hamas

“This note is being written in the midst of a significant missile attack from Gaza so please forgive my brevity. I am trying to get this out before I have to run to another location.”

That was an email I received from a colleague earlier this week who is working in Israel. That country has fallen into a civil war against the terrorist insurgency group Hamas.

Diane Francis: Trudeau’s immigration scheme is just another way to redistribute Canada’s wealth

It’s hard to imagine a bigger bungle by the Trudeau government than the vaccine fiasco and budget carnage, but now there’s immigration. Aims are to allow 1.2 million more permanent residents into Canada in the next three years when other, well-managed countries like Australia and New Zealand, are preoccupied with retaining the living standards of their existing populaces by trimming immigration.

DARED! Jordan Peterson to Justin Trudeau: ‘Just Try and Regulate My YouTube Channel’

“I have a million more YouTube subscribers than our national broadcaster CBC,” Peterson tweeted. “So does that make me a broadcaster to be regulated by Trudeau’s pathetic minions? Or does it just indicate that CBC is a failure, despite the fortune it takes in in public subsidy?”

No self-respecting person can see Trudeau’s ‘one-dose summer’ as anything other than an admission of failure

The government had repeatedly said everyone who wanted a vaccine (and they were talking about two-doses, not just one), would have them by the end of September.

But now, in what is an obvious admission of failure, Trudeau (or more likely some advisor,) came up with the talking point of a “one-dose summer.”

Amazingly, he says it as if it is some sort of accomplishment, as if we should thank him for failing to meet his earlier promise.

Canada is virtue signalling while waffling on global access to COVID-19 vaccines

Based on public statements, it’s easy to come to the conclusion that Canada is working to improve global access to COVID-19 vaccines.

This quote comes from an opinion piece in the Washington Post on July 15, 2020; the lead author, none other than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:

“…we must urgently ensure that vaccines will be distributed according to a set of transparent, equitable and scientifically sound principles. Where you live should not determine whether you live, and global solidarity is central to saving lives and protecting the economy.”

The person being quoted here in early May of this year is Mary Ng, the International Trade Minister in Trudeau’s cabinet:

“The work we have been doing and the leadership we have been providing is very much about removing all barriers to vaccine access, whether it be production or supply chain or export restrictions…We’re trying to remove all barriers to access to vaccines.”

But despite what Trudeau and Ng said, Canada is not doing all that it can to improve access. Far from it.

GOLDSTEIN: Internet censorship only part of Trudeau’s vision

The Trudeau government’s obsession with regulating, censoring and ultimately controlling what Canadians can see on social media is part of a much larger agenda of instructing Canadians on what and how to think.

Justin Trudeau’s mishandling of sexual misconduct in the military strikes yet another blow to his feminist credentials

MONTREAL—News of the appointment this week of former Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour to conduct yet another external review of sexual misconduct in the Canadian military predictably went down like a lead balloon.

Arbour’s qualifications for the job are not in question. On the contrary, she comes to it with a solid reputation for bringing a no-nonsense approach to such tasks.

To this day, her 1996 report on events at Kingston’s Prison for Women still stands out for the clarity of both its findings and its recommendations.

But if the recent past is any indication, Arbour’s strong credentials may well be wasted on the Liberal government.

The Liberals are Surging in the Polls Because There is no Opposition

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau despite falling personal popularity ratings is surging in various polls from various polling firms, likely signaling he will be looking to hold a new election sooner than later, once he can find a good enough excuse to hold one.
