‘I did not expect to be a slave’: Amnesty International report exposes abuse of migrant workers under Trudeau’s Temporary Foreign Workers program

One day the slaves will revolt

“I did not expect to be a slave here.”

Bénédicte Carole Zé came to Canada in 2016 to work on a poultry farm after paying $10,000 in illegal recruitment fees for a job here. But once she arrived, she says she was forced to work 70- to 80-hour weeks for an employer who she alleges sexually abused her, controlled her banking and did not let her leave the house or have a cellphone, while threatening her with deportation if she complained.

The Cameroonian woman’s testimony is just one of many accounts of exploitation and abuse in a new Amnesty International report into the experiences of labourers in the temporary foreign worker program (TFWP).

So Trudeau and his cronies were White slavers all along! Amnesty says so!

Jamie Sarkonak: The foreign interference verdict is in — all Canadians are to blame

For you, Canadian everyman, our nation’s scandals aren’t experienced all that differently: news of deep corruption or incompetence catches wind, people get mad, bureaucratic bodies diffuse blame — and ultimately, no one pays the price. Well, except for you, who has to learn to do better.

GOLDSTEIN: Trying to hit ‘net-zero’ target will cause economic carnage, report says

People who don’t understand lame-duck Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s climate policies — apparently including most Liberal politicians and their spin doctors — think it’s going to be easy to dismantle them.

That all they have to do is get rid of the consumer fuel tax that raises the cost of gasoline, natural gas and 20 other forms of fossil-fuel energy every year and all will be well.

All 6 people trying to replace Trudeau agree with him on almost everything

The six contenders for Liberal leader and consequently, the next prime minister, are: Mark Carney, Chrystia Freeland, Karina Gould, Jaime Battiste, Frank Baylis and Ruby Dhalla.

Liberals Make Gains in Polls as Leadership Race Gets Underway, Tories Still Lead by Double Digits

As the Liberal leadership race gets underway, support for the party has been rekindled, though the Conservatives continue to maintain a strong lead, a new survey says.

The Angus Reid Institute survey published Jan. 27, says that if Mark Carney takes the helm, the Liberals would garner 29 percent of voter support, compared to 24 percent under Chrystia Freeland. This marks an improvement for the Liberals from the low of 16 percent support recorded shortly before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation announcement.
Interesting Nanos comment on polling – “I think a lot of that has to do with Justin Trudeau resigning and the vacancy that he has created,” Nanos said. “What happens is that when a party does not have a leader, there is nothing to repel people. … Now, once the Liberals select a leader, then we’ll actually have the real numbers in terms of whether there’s any real bounce to make the Liberals a little more competitive with the Conservatives than they have been over the last year and a half.”

Tom Mulcair: Three reasons why the Liberals won’t want to delay the next election

Opposition parties have been working on the assumption that the Liberals will be seeking a way to extend the life of their minority government once their new leader is chosen.

That assumption may be dead wrong.

Canada will likely be heading into an election right after the Liberal leadership race. The “natural governing party” won’t be waiting around for the opposition to decide the election date. The countdown towards the next vote will begin the minute our new prime minister gets sworn in.

I can’t see the Liberals giving up their planned Trump Tariff Slush fund without at least some time at the trough.

Liberals open to recalling Parliament if opposition parties want to pass tariff relief, minister says

Trudeau Government Left Canada Vulnerable to Foreign Interference, Report Finds

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government was “insufficiently transparent” about foreign interference in Canadian politics and sometimes took “too long to act” against attempts to meddle in the country’s past two general elections by foreign powers including China and India, a government commission said on Tuesday.

“Trust in Canada’s democratic institutions has been shaken, and it is imperative to restore it,” the commission said in its final report, which summarized 18 months of hearings, testimony and examination of classified intelligence documents.

Canada must urgently fix flawed immigration security rules

Hamas support rally Toronto

… In another case, Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad v. Canada, a convicted terrorist managed to drag out his deportation battle 26 years. Mohammad – a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) convicted of taking part in a deadly attack on an Israeli plane at Athens airport in the 1960s – lied about his identity, his criminal past, as well as his ties to terrorist organizations. Kenney told reporters at the time “This case is almost a comedy of errors, with delays, with a system that was so bogged down in redundant process and endless appeals that it seemed to some that we would never be able to enforce the integrity of Canada’s immigration system and deport this terrorist killer.” Authorities cited Mohammad for misrepresentation on multiple grounds, yet he still managed to remain in Canada for decades. The threat of misrepresentation is a significant security concern. Thorough screening is crucial to ensure that those admitted do not pose security risks, given their possible affiliation with groups involved in violence or other activities that threaten national safety.

Laughing stock nation.

Michael Higgins: A Senate stuffed with Liberal bagmen is Trudeau’s gift to Poilievre

The problem with politicians is that they will insist on indulging in partisan politicking, the distasteful and grubby manipulation of affairs to advance their own, or party, fortunes.

It leaves a bad taste in the mouth of the electorate who can see it for what it is — an odious form of political nepotism.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Carney, Freeland, Gould all suffer from an empathy deficit

Who do I trust? That’s the question Liberals need to ask themselves as they prepare to choose a new leader — because it’s the question voters will be asking in the next federal election. But it’s not about trust in the macro sense: is this person honest? Will they keep their promises? Do they have the smarts and experience for the job? It’s trust in the micro sense: who do I trust to have my back? Who gets me? Who do I trust to look after my wallet, my job, my family and my country?

Trudeau’s Canada: More older adults are living in poverty than Canada’s official numbers suggest, new research warns

The official rate of Canadians 65 and older living in poverty is six per cent.

But the number could be more than double that, new research warns.

Fourteen per cent of Canadians in that age demographic are living in “poverty-level conditions,” according to the “Ageing in Canada” survey released today by the National Institute on Ageing and Environics Institute for Survey Research.

The National Institute on Ageing (NIA) surveyed 5,875 Canadians over the age of 50 on their social well-being, health and financial security.

In the Liberal leadership race, the cybersecurity risks are massive

If you set out to intentionally design a perfect target for a cyberattack, you couldn’t do much better than the Liberal Party of Canada’s leadership contest now under way.

Foreign adversaries like Russia and China are well incentivized to try: The political impact of a well-organized ransomware attack against the party or one of the candidates (to take just one example of the kind of attack that could be launched) could be enormous – not necessarily in tilting the scales toward one candidate or another, but in delegitimizing the winner. A prime minister with a credibility problem helps Canada’s adversaries.

That’s a feature not a bug.

Singh will sell out nation and keep Trudeau in power to pass Trump tariff slush fund

Singh suggests NDP could help Liberals pass Trump tariff relief

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Tuesday he is open to working with the Liberal government to pass relief measures for workers if U.S. President Donald Trump moves ahead with devastating tariffs on Canadian goods.

Singh has said for weeks he and his MPs will vote to bring down the government and send Canadians to an election at the earliest opportunity when Parliament reconvenes after prorogation in March.

Singh said that commitment still stands — but he’s opening the door to an option that doesn’t result in the Liberals’ immediate defeat.

Who is Mark Carney, the former central banker running to be Liberal leader?

After years of speculation about his political aspirations, former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor Mark Carney has officially thrown his hat in the ring to replace Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader and prime minister.

As one of the race’s top three contenders, alongside deputy prime minister and finance minister Chrystia Freeland and Government House Leader Karina Gould, Carney has the endorsement of nearly a dozen current and former cabinet ministers.

“I’m doing this because I love our country,” Carney told a group of supporters and Liberal MPs at his official launch event in Edmonton, Alta., on Jan. 16, later adding “but it could be even better.”
