During my days as an equity analyst and now as a portfolio manager I am often asked what the most important factors are when investing. I would have to say the answer is the quality of the management team in charge and the environment they are operating in — you can have an Olympic gold medal swimmer, and it won’t make a difference if there are sharks in the pool.
Having managed to get through last week without losing the prime ministership, Justin Trudeau has successfully kicked the ball to touch. Parliament reopens on January 27th, which makes the end of January the earliest that he cold be called to account.
At some point soon after in the weeks following however, one of the Opposition parties will have the opportunity to introduce a motion of non-confidence in his government, and precipitate an election.
OTTAWA — Canada appears to be barrelling toward a spring election now that the NDP is vowing to vote down the government early next year — whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stays on or not.
Political watchers are abuzz over the possible scenarios that could play out in the coming year following last week’s drama that rocked Trudeau’s government, and a springtime national campaign is the one that’s solidifying the fastest.
The exact timing is very much up in the air, but the best bet is for the government to fall by late March, and then a general election day would fall in April or May, said Yaroslav Baran, co-founder of the Pendulum Group and former chief of staff to Conservative house leader Jay Hill.
Less than a third of Canadian military members surveyed by the armed forces feel that organization provides a reasonable quality of life for them and their families, according to a new defence department report.
The latest version of DND’s departmental results report showed the number of military staff who have positive views of the Canadian Forces as an employer continues to drop.
When you openly discriminate against your primary recruitment pool and install Checkbox Weirdos in their place you may find you have a dysfunctional organization on your hands.
As the Trudeau government enters the second week of a very public internal feud, a new Leger survey finds that the scandal hasn’t done all that much to hurt its poll numbers — but that might be because Liberal support has already hit rock bottom.
Never in the field of human conflict have so many been PO’d by so few.
The prevalence of fentanyl in Canada has drawn additional attention after incoming US president Donald Trump cited the drug as part of his justification to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian imports.
Trump has accused Ottawa of not doing enough to stem the flow of fentanyl into the United States and said his promised 25 percent tariff would remain in place until Canadian authorities address the problem.
The CBC used to air The Simpsons after school.
One of the best episodes was the Cape Fear homage, in which an FBI agent tries to change Homer’s last name to Thompson.
The infighting within the Liberal Party is spilling out into the public just as the party released a new attack ad claiming they will look after your family. If they can’t look after their own family affairs, why should we believe they can look after the rest of us?
National finances under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have tanked, and many residents likely don’t know just how broke they are.
Canadians now pay around $75 million per day in interest on the national debt.
A formal petition to dissolve Parliament was submitted last week by Conservative MP Michelle Ferreri.
The petition, filed by the Peterborough—Kawartha representative, outlines multiple grievances against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government, including a deepening cost-of-living crisis and federal debt servicing charges exceeding $40 billion annually. According to the document, current debt levels surpass the combined debt of all previous Canadian governments.
Justin Trudeau is the captain of a battered old tub caught in a tsunami. There’s a hole in the hull, the water’s rising, half the vessel is beneath the surface and there’s an ominous sound suggesting it’s about to break in two. The lifeboats are out and the crew is fleeing.
Justin Trudeau is no feminist, and needs to stop insulting Canadian women by claiming that he is one.
The man’s record — both his behaviour and words — diametrically oppose such a claim. Yet, given any opportunity, he will proudly wax on about his alleged dedication to the rights and well-being of the fairer sex.
Chrystia Freeland, now a member of the Liberal backbench, is the pick of several of her backbench peers to succeed Justin Trudeau as leader and as prime minister of Canada.
But her popularity is not universal, some MPs have told Global News.
Longtime Trudeau loyalist Chandra Arya says it’s time for the prime minister to step aside — and he believes the majority of Liberals in caucus feel the same way.
“There is no alternative but to have the leadership change now,” the Ontario MP for Nepean told CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton Sunday.
He was responding to a question about what was discussed at a virtual meeting of the Ontario Liberal caucus on Saturday morning.
At this point he’s just being a prick.
