Assuming Liberal leadership frontrunner Mark Carney wins his party’s crown and becomes our next prime minister on March 9, voters in the next federal election will have a choice between a red-meat conservative — Pierre Poilievre — and a vegetarian version — Carney.
Liberal leadership hopeful Karina Gould said she doesn’t yet have the money to stay in the race, but is working hard to meet what she calls “an extremely aggressive fundraising deadline.”
To compete to become the next Liberal leader, and by extension Canada’s next prime minister, candidates need to pay $350,000, made in instalments. A major chunk, $125,000, is due at 5 p.m Friday.
OTTAWA — Two federal cabinet ministers and several Liberal MPs have signed their names to a statement condemning as “ethnic cleansing” U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians out of Gaza into neighbouring Arab countries.
Justice Minister Arif Virani and International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen say they also support their government’s response that Canada supports two states, Israel and Palestinian.
As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau meets with Canada’s premiers and works with cabinet to craft his government’s response to an unpredictable Trump administration, he’s also batting away repeated demands from opposition leaders to recall Parliament.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh say Parliament must return so that the government can pass new legislation that will strengthen the border and protect workers and businesses, respectively.
The CBC makes Trudeau out to be a great national hero sacrificing all for the sake of the nation.
The nation he spent 10 years trying to destroy.
Liberal leadership hopefuls are pivoting and responding to the attention-consuming existential threats to Canadian trade posed by U.S. President Donald Trump – a preview of what the next federal election is going to look like, according to Liberal strategists.
“There’s nothing usual about this race,” said Greg MacEachern of KAN Strategies.
From the very short timeline to the wild trade drama and the various characters involved, party leadership contests don’t normally play out like this one.
People will not forget or forgive the Liberal record under Trudeau. At best the Liberals may cannibalize NDP and green votes.
“Tough trade negotiations are on the horizon, and I don’t trust our sui socked, ersatz, black faced sultan from handling it without adult supervision.”
On January 30, 1649, King Charles I of England was beheaded. People from all ranks of society were shocked. The king, chosen by God, was killed by men.
Charles believed in the divine right of kings and felt no deep connection to Magna Carta, first signed in 1215. And he certainly was not fond of the institution spawned by that odious document — Parliament. He should have kept his thoughts to himself. The High Court of Justice declared that Charles was guilty of “…attempting to uphold in himself an unlimited and tyrannical power to rule according to his will, and to overthrow the rights and liberties of the people.
Liberal leadership frontrunner Mark Carney recently announced his carbon tax plan and here are some key points.
It’s expensive for Canadians.
It’s even more expensive for farmers.
He ‘s on board with the WEF and the UN. Carney is a carpetbagger.
While the government bends over backwards promising Canadians it’s not going to introduce a tax on the sale of your home, it’s also been spending your money figuring out how to implement a tax to do just that.
Something doesn’t add up. Why spend money on something you have no intention of following through with? And let’s be clear — the Liberals are spending lots of time and money dreaming up new ways to tax your home.
You have no choice but to be a spectator of Mark Carney’s astroturfing. After all, the Liberals have suspended Canadian parliamentary democracy to make it happen.
Whether he is portrayed as an outsider, a new voice or a charismatic figure, the Carney campaign’s essence is convincing Canada that he is someone he is not.
Public Safety Minister David McGuinty says the new “fentanyl czar” position Canada is creating after a deal with U.S. President Donald Trump will be a commanding role to coordinate a national campaign against illegal production and distribution of the deadly opioid.
“This new fentanyl czar position is one that will transcend any one part of the government will pull together a full Canadian national response between our provinces, our police of local jurisdiction, and work with our American authorities,” Mr. McGuinty told CNN in an interview Tuesday.
Why did it take so long?
Justin Trudeau got a last-minute reprieve from Donald Trump on the 25% tariffs that were set to take effect, but only after a lot of drama, a drop in the stock market and the Canadian dollar dropping briefly into 67-cent territory.
Why so long? Because Canada’s China class along with Justin’s Khalistan pals made out like bandits.
“Trump is trying to deal with border issues; the Liberal Party wants a trade war.”
President Donald Trump has put tariffs on Canadian goods just as he said he would before being elected. No surprise. Despite calmer, more thoughtful minds calling for diplomacy, the leaders of the Liberal Party have been calling for a trade war for weeks. You can only have a war if two sides fight. Trump told Canadian authorities what needed to be done beforehand. He has now published the full text of his Executive Order where he informs us what he sees the problem being. The order is consistent with his earlier explanation.
American President Donald Trump has made it clear both in rhetoric and writing that the drug crisis is one of the key reasons why he’s implementing 25 per cent tariffs on all imports from Canada.
We as a nation can’t ignore this aspect of the tariff issue or try to argue our way out of it. We have to address it with eyes open. And now is the time to look more at some of the concerning aspects of drug production in our country that U.S. policymakers seem to want to address more than our own do.
The reason the federal Liberals can never be trusted on the carbon tax is that even as they seemingly abandon it, they refuse to admit they were wrong to introduce it.
Instead of apologizing to Canadians for their half-baked, poorly explained policy that divided the country, while they insulted anyone who opposed it as wanting to let the planet burn, the Liberals even now refuse to accept responsibility for what they did.
