The Liberals’ hunger for eco-activists’ approval has left them ‘tone-deaf to what is happening in the real lives of real people,’ says Alberta’s premier
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is fighting for his political life but that hasn’t dampened his government’s zeal to push forward yet another scheme to slay climate change. In what appears to be an unprecedented move of economic self-sabotage by a national government, Trudeau aims to impose a ceiling on oil and gas emissions in Canada.
The prime minister arrived home from liberating Southeast Asia from itself last week to be confronted with a raft of problems, from disloyal caucus members to India’s wrath over Khalistan. His opponents relished the consequences as he testified under oath before the Foreign Interference Commission on Wednesday.
But Justin Trudeau has entered his Sir Lancelot phase, where he rides about the countryside with a pure heart, his lance pointed at enemies of the PMO Round Table, hoping to make suburban damsels swoon again.
Pity the federal Liberal caucus in Ottawa these days.
The must feel like the crew of the doomed Titanic, trapped on board and speeding toward the iceberg under the command of Captain Edward Smith – who would eventually drown along with 1,500 others in that infamous maritime disaster.
A Greater Vancouver Food Bank policy prevents international students experiencing food insecurity during their first year in Canada from receiving free food while they adjust to an unfamiliar country and community.
Emma Nelson, communications manager at the GVFB, said in an email the policy exists because the federal government requires international students to have “substantial savings” before coming to Canada.
Federal rules require international students to have $20,635 saved up, in addition to tuition and travel costs, in order to come to study in Canada.
Trudeau’s immigration scam makes the most vulnerable Canadian citizens compete with his foreigners for food.
The revolt by some Liberal MPs against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership may not have led to his ouster, but one political analyst says tensions within the party will last for some time — and may further hurt the Liberals’ electoral prospects.
In the past six years, the federal government alone has spent or committed to spend over $50 billion on electric vehicle (EV) production and sales. Provincial governments (mostly Ontario and Quebec) have committed another $20 billion-plus.
That’s not just for ultra-expensive EV battery plants, but also subsidies to EV buyers, plus money for EV infrastructure, such as charging stations and home chargers.
What happens in a country without cultural conservatism? Look no further than Canada, where the national identity is disintegrating.
In 2015, soon after taking office, the new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gushed to a fawning New York Times that, “There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada. There are shared values – openness, respect, compassion, willingness to work hard, to be there for each other – but there is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada.”
This was Trudeau’s plan – destroying Canada was his WEF Wet Dream.
Anyone advocating for mass immigration, multiculturalism, or diversity should be in shackles.

A group of Liberal MPs have demanded that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau decide his future as party leader by Monday and that what happens after is “up to each individual MP,” according to one backbencher who’s part of the group.
In an interview airing Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live, New Brunswick MP Wayne Long said that “every MP is in their own kind of space” and that when it comes to next steps after the deadline, “a lot of it is up to each individual MP.”
Canadian public sector jobs increased by 13 percent during the COVID-19 pandemic while the private and self-employed sectors saw just 3.6 percent growth, says a new report.
“Canada’s net job creation in recent years has been disproportionately driven by growth in government employment rather than growth in the private sector,” said Ben Eisen, Fraser Institute senior fellow and co-author of the report.
Trudeau has used government spending to masquerade as economic growth.
In the 1970s, Richard Crossman, a minister in Harold Wilson’s UK government, published a set of diaries outlining the code of ministerial duties in a parliamentary system. Ministers, Crossman explained, were the essential link between the executive and legislative functions of government. They exercised decision-making power while being accountable to Parliament. This power required a degree of independent discretion, and ministers were responsible for matters within their departmental remit, provided they adhered to the principle of collective cabinet solidarity.
This week in Ottawa, Justin Trudeau faced off against a small herd of rebellious Liberals who, as it turned out, all showed up for the staring contest with a raging case of pink eye.
Basically, two dozen of his MPs whispered, “Please go away,” and the Prime Minister said, “No,” and smiled his Cheshire Cat smile, and then everyone went back to what they were doing before.
In elections earlier this year, incumbent leaders and parties in India, South Africa, France, and Britain took a beating. America’s President and Japan’s Prime Minister were pushed to step aside before their parties face voters. Germany’s Chancellor is lucky his country won’t hold national elections until next year. Voters everywhere, it seems, want change. Now it’s Justin Trudeau’s turn to face the music.
On a warm July night two years ago, Moninder Singh received a chilling message from special federal agents who showed up at his house in British Columbia: You are being formally warned that there is an imminent threat to your life. Avoid public spaces. Enhance security at home.
The first person he called — a friend and fellow activist in a campaign promoting an independent Sikh homeland carved out of India — had just gotten the same ominous warning.
A year later, that friend, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, was dead.
Canada delivered its biggest affordability measure in years—shrinking its population. That was the takeaway from a new report from BMO Capital Markets this week. The bank has repeatedly warned that promises to triple the new homes built and create affordability with supply, weren’t grounded in reality. Now that Canada is quietly acknowledging this failure, they see real affordability on the way as scaled up building meets a shrinking population.
Promising? Maybe. But the damage is done.
Longtime Liberal MP Wayne Long says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should give more weight to the views of his backbenchers in determining his future leading the Party, rather than relying on those in his immediate orbit.
“Seriously, get away from your inner circle,” Long told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos, in an interview airing Sunday. “I don’t want to name names, but get away from people, because obviously, prime ministers are somewhat insulated.”
