Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

OTTAWA – Treasury Board President Shafqat Ali says the federal government hasn’t worked out details of planned public service cuts and efforts to boost the amount of time public servants spend in the office.

Ali said in a recent interview with The Canadian Press the government is still finalizing the workforce adjustment and return-to-office plans.

Hundreds of federal employees have been warned they may lose their jobs as the government moves to shrink the public service, and many departments have told staff news on job cuts will come in the new year.

Carney won’t do anything to antagonize the civil service voting bloc.

OTTAWA — During the Liberals’ Dec. 11 Christmas party just hours after Conservative MP Michael Ma crossed the floor to the government, soirée hosts James Maloney and Mona Fortier joked to ecstatic attendees that their favourite number was “172”.

That’s the minimum number of MPs a party needs to get a simple majority in the House of Commons. With Ma’s crossing, the Liberals suddenly find themselves one seat away from their favourite number.

OTTAWA—Mélanie Joly — the lawyer and former foreign affairs minister now industry minister on the economic front lines of a trade war — talked tough all fall.

She threatened to sue Stellantis after it halted Canadian auto production plans in Brampton. She warned a British mining giant poised to take over one of Canada’s last big diversified mining companies that its offer on Teck Resources wasn’t good enough. And she declared that Lockheed Martin, the American jet maker building the F-35 fighter plane, must up its pitch because Canada is not getting enough economic benefit and is weighing the purchase of Swedish planes instead.

What Prime Minister Mark Carney gives with his left hand, he takes away with his right hand.

Canadians are already overtaxed and need significant tax cuts to make life more affordable and improve our economy’s competitiveness. But at best, the New Year will bring a mixed bag for Canadian taxpayers.

The Public Health Agency of Canada is under renewed fire after confirming it wasted more than $170 million on medical supplies that have since expired and are now bound for the dump.

The revelation has MPs demanding to know why no senior officials have been dismissed over years of inventory mismanagement.

The decline of merit is the story of modern Canada. It began as a slow corrosion under Justin Trudeau, whose rise was fuelled by name recognition and emotional politics rather than achievement. It deepened under Chrystia Freeland, who turned fiscal management into performance art. And it has continued under Mark Carney, whose credentials might suggest competence but whose actions have proven the opposite. These are not isolated examples; they are milestones on a national journey away from merit and toward mediocrity.

OTTAWA — Canada’s largest public-sector union blasted the top government department as “hypocritical” for refusing to say how many of its employees received notice of a potential layoff weeks ago.

The silence from the Privy Council Office (PCO) signals the government may not be forthcoming with public information as the majority of federal departments and agencies prepare to announce major layoffs in January.

Imperial Ottawa is going to need their Volkssturm.
