Trudeau Government Out Of Service

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.

NDP MP says ArriveCAN is about tracking, not safety

NDP member of parliament Brian Masse is calling on the Trudeau government to scrap the controversial ArriveCAN requirement, saying it has nothing to do with public health.

“I always fight for safety 1st, ArriveCAN is not that. It’s being used as a back door to permanently track all border crossing,” Masse said.

“MPs need to speak up now or it will destroy our tourism industry, frustrate & create longer line ups when the technology fails.”

Jesuit diaries reveal the love Indigenous Canadian tribes had for the missionaries and Catholicism

In contrast to the insistence of some Christians today that certain pagan superstitions ought to be accepted in the name of inculturation — such as the “smudging” ceremony of “purification” practiced by native tribes in North America, in which the Pope will take part — the first indigenous converts to Christianity in Canada not only embraced the Catholic Faith wholeheartedly, abandoning all superstitions, but they esteemed the Jesuit missionaries so much that they entreated them to remain with their tribes when the missionaries were considering a return to safety in the French settlements.

GOLDSTEIN: Germany’s green energy disaster a warning for Canada

Germany, historically the economic powerhouse of Europe, has been brought to its knees through its reckless pursuit of so-called “green energy,” while deliberately forfeiting its own energy security.

The disastrous result is a warning to all nations, including Canada, about the dangers of the ideological pursuit of low-carbon energy polices, without considering how they put reliable energy supplies at risk.

FUREY: Here’s why we might soon see more farmer protests across Canada

Last week, Canadian news reports told of farm-related protests erupting across the country — including one that saw a slow roll convoy head through downtown Ottawa.

These reports described this activism as a show of support for Dutch farmers. Tensions have run high in the Netherlands as farmers have used equipment to block roads and supermarkets in response to climate change regulations targeting livestock emissions. They say the regulations will force the closure of farms across the country and send food prices soaring.

Trudeau Is Stoking A Canadian Farmers’ Rebellion With His Attack On The Use Of Fertilizer

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government is pushing forward with imposing requirements on Canadian farmers to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from fertilizers, the same reduction mandates that have caused farmers in the Netherlands to engage in mass protests.

The Liberals are arguing that their 30 percent nitrous oxide reduction target is purely about emissions and not fertilizer, but it would be impossible to meet those targets the government wants to implement without cutting back on the use of fertilizer, which is the biggest contributor to emissions.

Despite widespread outrage from provincial agricultural ministries, Marie-Claude Bibeau, the federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Foods, said that she believes farmers will go along with the 30 percent reductions willingly.

Gonna party like it’s 1789.

‘Historic’ Correction Grips Canada’s Housing Market, RBC Says

Benchmark home prices could fall more than 12% through early next year from the market’s peak, a bigger decline than any of the four national downturns of the past 40 years, according to a report Friday by Royal Bank of Canada economist Robert Hogue.

Sales are also expected to slump 23% this year and 15% next year, RBC said. That total decline of 42% since early 2021 would outrank the 38% drop in 2008 and 2009.

Do Canadians Get It Yet? The Liberals Want You To Be Poor

The Trudeau Liberals spent years trying to wreck the Canadian energy sector.

As a consequence, the cost-of-living, including the cost of energy, has risen dramatically, something that wouldn’t have happened (at least not to the same extent) if Canada had been effectively making use of our abundant natural resources.

But that’s not enough.

The Liberals are now setting their sights on Canadian farmers, seeking to impose the same disastrous policies that have caused such a massive backlash in the Netherlands.

Is Trudeau Going To Make Anti-Government Behaviour A Crime?

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?”

So-Called ‘Canadian’ was ‘prolific propagandist’ in ISIS, U.S. prosecutors say

U.S. prosecutors are seeking a life sentence for a Canadian they call one of the “most prolific propagandists” in the so-called Islamic State.

In materials filed in court ahead of his sentencing hearing, prosecutors said Mohammed Khalifa was a “formidable figure within ISIS.”

Not only did he produce gory videos used by ISIS to incite attacks and recruit, but he also executed two Syrian soldiers, the U.S. Attorney’s Office wrote.

US “Journalists” continue to spread “Mass Graves” lie

From the Daily Beast…

ROME—Pope Francis will arrive in Canada on Sunday to ask for atonement for the hasty burial of hundreds of Indigenous children—as young as 3—who died in the Catholic Church’s care from the 19th century to the 1970s.

The trip is a product of the 2021 discovery of an unmarked grave containing the remains of some 215 Indigenous children who died in a Catholic residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia. Around 150,000 Indigenous children were taken from families to be “retrained” in Christian beliefs in the 19th century in a practice that carried on for decades.

There’s really no excuse for this nonsense. No graves, no bodies, no nothing but a twisted narrative.
