Trudeau Liberals buying Hamas ‘lies’: author/soldier John Spencer

John Spencer, the world’s foremost expert on urban warfare, has choice words for the Trudeau government: “Do your homework.”

At a lecture at a Toronto synagogue late last week, he said that the federal Liberals, “believe lies” coming from Hamas, and “base their policies on them,” including withholding weapons from Israel needed to fight the terror group. (Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly announced on September 10 that Canada suspended about 30 permits for arms shipments.)

Trudeau is a low life. He cares about one thing when it comes to Israel and that’s Muslim votes. Whether Hamas tells the truth or not is irrelevant.

Justin Trudeau’s Party Has a Popularity Problem: Justin Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party should be a shoo-in for a parliamentary seat at the southern point of the island of Montreal.

The district has been a stronghold for his party for more than half a century. It was home to another Liberal prime minister a generation ago. The base for a former Liberal justice minister. An easy drive to Mr. Trudeau’s own redoubt in the city.

And yet, days before a special election on Monday to choose the district’s member of Canada’s Parliament, polls show a tight three-way contest. For many lifelong Liberals, the problem is clear: It is Mr. Trudeau himself.

Justin Trudeau’s sinking popularity puts him on shaky ground

In late August, a tense exchange was caught on camera between Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and a local steel worker in northern Ontario.

As Trudeau reached out for a handshake, the worker refused it, confronting the prime minister instead about his struggle to make ends meet despite having a steady job.

Trudeau responded by listing things his Liberal government has done to help working families, including a national dental care programme and a tariff on Chinese steel that is designed to protect Canadian workers.

CHARLEBOIS: These are Canada’s ‘Hunger Games’

Last week, Feed Ontario disclosed that over a million residents in Ontario, Canada’s wealthiest province, sought assistance from food banks over the past year.

A million people.

That’s essentially Nova Scotia’s entire population as a province. This revelation presents a stark contrast when juxtaposed with the situation south of the border in the United States.

An unstable Parliament where the issue is Justin Trudeau

There were two sides to the speech Pierre Poilievre gave in front Conservative caucus on Sunday, one in each official language.

For the first 11 minutes, Mr. Poilievre spoke in French, and for almost all of that time he taunted the Bloc Québécois. Then he switched to English and spent 13 minutes needling the NDP. In each case, the subject was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Canada’s plan to donate refurbished armour to Ukraine is still spinning its wheels

Globo Homo or what?

A plan to rebuild and modernize two dozen decommissioned Canadian light armoured vehicles for donation to Ukraine is stuck in bureaucratic limbo more than nine months after the defence department handed the vehicles over to an Ontario company that specializes in restoration, CBC News has learned.

Defence Minister Bill Blair signed off on the transfer last January. He said negotiations between Armatec Survivability in Dorchester, Ont., and the Canadian Commercial Credit Corporation (CCC), an arm of the federal government, are still ongoing.

Zelensky loves Justin and Freeland but I suspect he will only accept cash support in future.

Elon Musk Says Starlink Would Cost ‘Less Than Half’ of Ottawa-Backed $2.14 Billion Plan

Elon Musk says his company SpaceX’s satellite internet service Starlink would be able to provide coverage to Canadian households for “less than half the cost of a recently announced multibillion-dollar government loan to Montreal-based satellite operator Telesat to provide that service.
Musk was responding to Conservative MP Michael Barrett, who in a Sept. 14 post on X challenged the government investment. The funding consists of a combined $2.54 billion loan to Telesat, consisting of $2.14 billion from Ottawa and $400 million from the Quebec government.

Oh Oh! Someone’s place at the trough is threatened!

Liberal minister dismisses Elon Musk’s satellite offer to Canada as ‘nonsense’

In other words the deal with the NDP is still in place

Trudeau government says it won’t delay possible confidence votes as Poilievre’s Conservatives hanker for election

OTTAWA—The Liberal government says it will not use delay tactics to avoid a parliamentary vote that could trigger an election this fall as Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre goaded other opposition party leaders to help him immediately topple the Trudeau government.

House Leader Karina Gould said the government does not intend to play games to stave off until late fall any “non-confidence” motion the Opposition parties might bring forward nor does it intend to formally suspend, or prorogue, Parliament in order to buy time.

ANDRUS: A weakened Trudeau could cozy up the the Bloc, a grim prospect for Alberta

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau clings to power amid growing challenges, his Liberal government might finally be on the verge of collapse.

With NDP leader Jagmeet Singh tearing up the “Confidence and Supply” agreement that has kept the Liberals afloat, the Liberals are in the precarious position of having to call an election, seek the NDP’s votes on a case-by-case basis, or work with the Bloc Québécois.

Jamie Sarkonak: Don’t burden the rest of Canada with asylum seekers. Change the rules

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked for an asylum-seeker surge in 2017, and boy did he get it. Well, Ontario and Quebec got most of it. And now, as those provinces struggle to support the weight, the federal government has floated a new solution: just spread it around.

A federal plan under consideration would send about 28,000 asylum seekers to Alberta, 32,500 to British Columbia, 5,000 to Nova Scotia and 4,600 to New Brunswick. The idea is to distribute the burden across the country in proportion to provincial populations. Only, we don’t have any room.

What would have to happen in Parliament to trigger an early election?

MPs return Monday to a House of Commons that promises to be even more volatile than it was when they left it in June.

The end of the Liberal-NDP governance agreement makes an early election more likely but not inevitable.

A party can only continue governing as long as it has the “confidence” of the House — the support of a majority of MPs.

Robert Libman: Montreal byelection could spell end for Trudeau and Singh

Despite all the media speculation, the leadership discussion within the federal Liberal caucus has so far remained pretty much bottled up inside the party, with public comments about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau relatively mitigated. But the bottle could pop after Monday night, depending on results of the byelection in the Liberal stronghold of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, left vacant with the resignation of former justice minister David Lametti.
