Trudeau blames immigration fiasco on everyone but himself
Trudeau says he could have acted faster on immigration changes, blames ‘bad actors’
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government could have acted faster on reining in immigration programs, after blaming “bad actors” for gaming the system.
Trudeau released a nearly seven-minute video on YouTube Sunday talking about the recent reduction in permanent residents being admitted to Canada and changes to the temporary foreign worker program.
For years, I’ve demonized anyone who suggests we reduce immigration levels by calling them “racist” and “islamophobic”.
Today, I’m reducing immigration levels.
This is all the proof you need that most of what I say is just divisive, virtue signaling nonsense. pic.twitter.com/9X8q6dzvzj

What a monster. He’s ruined the hopes and dreams of a generation turned Canada into a 3rd world shithole and he blames everyone but himself.
WTF?
UPDATE: This is apparently from a far-left non profit group based in Michigan called @DistillSocial. They received hundreds of thousands of dollars in government grants. Now they’re threatening Trump supporters. https://t.co/V6VelyqNJa

How a Republican in Canada views Trump: ‘Not asking for anything crazy’
The incoming Donald Trump administration and Republicans in Congress still see Canada as a friend and ally, but will continue to press Ottawa on addressing border security and defence spending, a prominent conservative advisor says.
Georganne Burke, who has worked in both U.S. and Canadian politics and supported Trump’s return to the White House, says those two issues in particular will be major sticking points in the Canada-U.S. relationship unless the Liberal government shows it’s willing to act in the ways Trump wants.
WTF?
Lies, fake news, and falsehoods! I know many Christian conservative families and not one of them believes any of what is mentioned here.

Hostility Toward Christians Skyrockets Across Europe
Report fingers radical Islam and radical leftism as motivations for attacks on Christians.
While Christians in America are celebrating an end to the hostile Biden-Harris regime, Christians in Europe witnessed increased persecution and hatred last year, according to a new report. The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC Europe) published its annual report on Friday, examining instances of “intolerance and discrimination against Christians” over the course of 2023. Unfortunately, the report found that religiously-motivated hate crimes against Christians more than doubled last year.
Richer, safer, at peace with itself and its neighbours – what Trump might do for America and the world
Few people in history have had more words written about them than Donald Trump. And perhaps it is in the nature of things that much of what is written is uninformed, half-informed or mal-informed.
But reading British reactions to Trump’s historic re-election landslide this month, it is still striking how little effort there is in this country actually to understand what Trump is about or what he wants to achieve.
Just one reason why this is strange is that Trump tends to say what he wants in very plain English. And then he does what he says he’ll do.
This is the difference between the political moment that swept Justin Trudeau into leadership and the one that will push him out
People have good reason to doubt the veracity of campaign promises because they have good, abundant evidence that politicians hardly feel honour-bound to keep them.
For many politicians, making promises you can’t keep is as natural as breathing on the campaign trail. In turn, the electorate is conditioned to expect political promises to be like piñatas: designed to be broken.
But it looks like the Donald Trump’s victory may be ushering in a new era.
Trump II: Challenges Ahead
What will Donald Trump’s foreign policy look like in his second term?
This is the question currently making the buzz in the commentariat around the world.
Western European pundits claim that Trump will abandon the Ukrainian lamb to the Russian wolf or, at least, force the European shepherd to foot the bill for keeping it half alive.
Parliament on the road to an unprecedented confidence crisis, but there are off-ramps
OTTAWA — If no political party is willing to say uncle, the drawn-out stalemate in the House of Commons is heading for an unprecedented situation that could amount to a tacit lack of confidence in the government, without anyone in Parliament casting a vote.
The Conservatives and Bloc Québécois have already announced plans to try to bring down the government and trigger an election with a non-confidence motion at the next opportunity. But there’s no telling when that opportunity will come, because the House has been gridlocked in a filibuster for more than a month.
Whatever it takes to rid us of Justin is fine by me.
Prosecutors: Diddy Trying to Obstruct Justice from Jail, Asking Family to Influence Witnesses
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has tried to reach out to prospective witnesses and influence public opinion from jail in a bid to affect potential jurors for his upcoming sex trafficking trial, prosecutors claimed in a court filing urging a judge to reject his latest bail request.
The government accusations were made in a Manhattan federal court filing late Friday that opposes the music mogul’s latest $50 million bail proposal. A bail hearing is scheduled for next week.
GOLDSTEIN: Liberal lack of ethics starts at the top
The repeated failure of Trudeau cabinet ministers to behave ethically is not primarily due to the weakness of the federal conflict of interest act that was passed by the Stephen Harper Conservative government in 2006, although it is indeed weak.
CBS Frets Palestinians Are Scared of Trump’s Israeli Ambassador Pick Huckabee
Continuing their not-so-veiled attempt at over-compensating in favor of Palestinians, CBS used Thursday’s CBS Evening News and Friday’s CBS Mornings to kvetch about President-Elect Trump selecting former Arkansas Governor and two-time GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee as his choice for U.S. Ambassador to Israel.
MacDougall: Can local democracy survive the decline of local news?
If, as the great Joni Mitchell says, you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone, perhaps it’s time to appreciate the local news before it goes.
These words reach you thanks to the efforts of the small — yet mighty — engine that still powers the sole print-based daily newsroom in Canada’s capital. But how long such local messengers will continue to reach you is a real question, one that might be decided by the next federal election, where funding for journalism with be a point of debate between Justin Trudeau (who favours some) and Pierre Poilievre (who doesn’t).
Shamed Democratic Pollster Quits Profession after Failing to Rig the Presidential Election
The liberal media swears they’re unbiased. According to them, it’s just a weird, inexplicable quirk of fate when conservatives perpetually get the dagger and liberals are always pampered, propped up, and protected. Still, they’re adamant: “There is no media bias!”
