Trudeau’s housing crisis will take years to solve says Freeland

Canada’s housing crisis will take years to solve: finance minister

An affordable housing crisis that is hurting the Canadian government’s popularity will take years to resolve, even if construction hits an 80-year high, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Saturday.

Her comments were among the first by a senior member of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal administration to acknowledge the scale of the challenge. Polls show the Liberals trailing their Conservative rivals, who blame Ottawa for high inflation and soaring home prices.

This is Trudeau’s crisis, he created it so don’t blame Canadians Freedo.

Missing Chinese defense chief signals turmoil in Xi’s government

The United States believes Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu has been placed under investigation and relieved of his command, reports said Friday, in what could be the latest sign of turmoil in Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s government, just over six months after he installed a collection of loyalist leaders in his Cabinet.

Three U.S. officials and two people briefed on intelligence surrounding Li told the Financial Times that Washington has concluded that the defense chief, who took up his post in March, had been stripped of his responsibilities. They did not offer further insights into the probe.

David Krayden: Lich, Barber Trial Is a Reminder That We Will Not Return to COVID Mandates

It was the second week of what I am calling the Freedom Trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, two peaceful protesters who came to Ottawa during the Freedom Convoy demonstration of January to February 2022. This prosecution and persecution of course is not just about Lich and Barber—it’s about the whole Freedom Convoy and everyone who dared to support it. Especially those who had their bank accounts frozen by the government for doing so.

A woman has sparked outrage on social media after she was filmed spreading her brother’s ashes into a swimming pool at an Ibiza club.

Sharing a post to her TikTok, the woman appears to be dancing along to the music in a pool filled with others, before appearing to pour a dusty grey powder.

GOLDSTEIN: We’re all polluters under Trudeau’s climate change plan

Whenever Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his climate change policies “make the polluters pay” what he really means is that he’s making us pay.

While the PM strives to create the impression he’s only going after “big polluters” like oil and gas companies, he’s actually going after all of us, because we buy the goods and services — often out of necessity for such things as electricity and heat— that the “big polluters” provide.

Scan faces of every shoplifting picture, police told

Police have been told to scan every shoplifting CCTV image reported to them through facial recognition technology as figures reveal some forces are failing to identify suspects in as many as two thirds of cases.

Only one in seven shoplifters were charged over the past year across England and Wales, while 54 per cent of cases were closed with no suspect identified and other evidential difficulties led to a further 20 per cent of cases collapsing.

Critics, Opposition React to Ottawa’s Threat of Additional Taxes on Big Grocers

Critics and members of the opposition have expressed concern over the federal government’s talk of potentially imposing additional taxes on major grocers. They argue that this move could worsen the affordability crisis faced by Canadians who are already grappling with rising food prices.

At the conclusion of the Liberal party’s three-day national caucus retreat in London, Ontario, on Sept. 14, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that his government is exploring various tools, including potential tax measures, to compel major grocery retailers to stabilize food prices.

Katie Telford, long-serving chief of staff, is the last woman standing in Justin Trudeau’s inner circle

At this point, “Gotta check with Katie,” is basically a Parliament Hill magical incantation.

She is the quiet voice that carries, the last person in the room, a first-name-only Ottawa main character.

Some prime ministers have employed their chiefs of staff as mercenaries for specific moments and replaced them when the situation demanded something different. Others have held their chiefs close for years as trusted consiglieres.

Fani Willis’s Monstrous Trump Case

If Willis is to be believed, a person need not commit or agree to commit any statutory crime in order to be guilty of RICO conspiracy.

Oh, about those 161 “overt acts” in furtherance of a RICO conspiracy that Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis trumpeted in the first few dozen pages of her mammoth indictment of Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants. Never mind. Turns out, according to Willis, that those 161 acts don’t really define the sprawling conspiracy to — well, to do something. They just give you some flavor.

Dove’s spokeswoman Zyahna Bryant offers an important insight into a leftist goal

Racist

Dove went woke 20 years ago, but it doubled down by hiring BLM and “fat liberation activist” Zyahna Bryant. Bryant made a name for herself in 2020 with her damaging, race-based attacks on Morgan Bettinger. For that reason, there’s a growing Boycott against Dove. Bryant’s Dove video, however, is a useful insight into America’s societal collapse.

Gay or what.

A new book reveals how – and why – our nation has been brought to its present dire straits.

Perhaps the greatest service of Barack Obama’s True Legacy, the recently published collection of penetrating essays on the Obama presidency by a number of knowledgeable and trenchant authors, edited by Jamie Glazov, is its contribution to collective memory.
