Thinking the ‘unthinkable’: NATO wants Canada and allies to gear up for a conventional war

CAF rearmament

NATO says it wants its members to develop national plans to bolster the capacity of their individual defence industry sectors, a concept Canada has struggled with — or avoided outright — for decades.

At the NATO leaders summit in Washington in July, alliance members agreed to come up with strategies to boost their domestic defence materiel sectors, and to share those strategies with each other. Almost entirely overshadowed at the time by debates about members’ defence spending and support for Ukraine, the new policy got little attention.

I’ve voted Liberal my entire life. Trudeau has made that impossible now.

The Liberal party and I have always been close. Inseparable, really. At age 21 in 1968, and freshly eligible to vote, I cast my first ballot for one Pierre Elliott Trudeau, new Liberal leader and MP for Mount Royal. It was immensely satisfying.

The night before, I’d been on Sherbrooke Street as the Jean-Baptiste parade grew violent and Trudeau, who was there, stood defiantly as separatist hurled missiles his way. Throughout the campaign, I’d worn my Trudeau button proudly, joining enthralled crowds at appearances.

This woman likely needs detox.

Terry Newman: CTV delivers another shameful example of anti-Poilievre bias

With a federal election that could come any day now, and the Liberal government’s public favour continually waning, some, shall we say, unorthodox media practices appear to be afoot, particularly in terms of how Pierre Poilievre is being presented to Canadian viewers. The Conservatives are always complaining about progressive media bias. This is what they mean.

How Canadians Fell Out of Love With Justin Trudeau

Canadian politics are getting fiery.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the young scion of a Liberal family who swept the global political scene off its feet a decade ago, is now a 52-year-old leader with approval ratings worse than President Biden’s.

He is rapidly losing ground to the Conservative Party’s leader, Pierre Poilievre, who, despite having vague policy plans, has deployed punchy sloganeering that has kept Mr. Trudeau on the ropes.

Another one from the Katie Telford rolodex.

Father-and-son immigrants wanting to stay in Canada rob man in Lively

A father and son from Romania who both applied for refugee status in Canada in early May, but robbed a Lively man in June, have been given the equivalent of five-month jail sentences.

“Gentlemen: your conduct is reprehensible,” Ontario Court Justice Julie Lefebvre told Nicolae Curca, 63, and Laurentiu Vaduva, 37, as she issued identical sentences of one day in jail on Tuesday.

The Crown and defence lawyers suggested the sentences, which take into account their pre-trial custody time.

Oh My! They face possible immigration consequences!

Liberals call media criticism an ‘attack on Canadians’ after CTV edited Poilievre’s comments

Slimeball

Liberal Government House Leader Karina Gould claimed criticism of media is an “attack on Canadians” after CTV National News was forced to make an on-air apology for deceptive edits, per Blacklock’s Reporter.

They lie about everything. It’s a sickness.

Jesse Kline: The pressing need to invest in, and protect, our Arctic territories

Leaks, ineffective anchors, mechanical breakdowns among problems facing new Arctic patrol ships

As southern Ontario’s hot, sticky summer starts to wind down, the last thing on most people’s minds is the vast, frozen tundra of Canada’s Far North. But on Sept. 18, a group gathered in downtown Toronto to hear a broad range of experts discuss Arctic sovereignty and security.

Granted, the Far North has always been a very niche area of interest in Canada, which is curious for a country that prides itself on being a northern nation. But perhaps that’s to be expected when 90 per cent of our population lives within 160 kilometres of the U.S. border, many in cities such as Vancouver and Toronto that have relatively temperate climates.

Ice Breakers, Submarines, Frigates, Supply vessels, Arctic patrol vessels, Fighter Jets,  Armored vehicles, Sleeping Bags, Recruiting crisis – is there anything Canada’s armed forces aren’t lacking beyond ludicrous DEI policies?

SLOBODIAN: Trudeau’s personal first-world problem is ‘green’ energy

There was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau playing global messiah on Sunday at the UN General Assembly Summit of the Future in New York, and committing another $5 billion in Canadian taxpayer money to support the United Nations’ 2030 agenda.

Was the $50 billion in subsidies to Northvolt, General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen and Stellantis to build EV battery plants in Ontario and Quebec not enough?

Trudeau strokes his ego at our expense.

Justin Trudeau is fighting to keep his minority government alive. Here’s what that might cost him

OTTAWA—What is the price of parliamentary peace? Is any price too high for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau now that the NDP-Liberal co-operation deal is dead?

Liberals have begun talks with the New Democrats and the Bloc Québécois, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Tuesday. The goal is to find common political ground with the opposition for the months ahead.

Tom Mulcair: Justin Trudeau is still a celebrity, but does it matter anymore?

For a fleeting moment on Monday night, it was easy to forget that Justin Trudeau is 20 per cent behind in the polls.

Trudeau and his handlers scored a home run with their decision to have him appear on “The Late Show(opens in a new tab)” with Steven Colbert. Justin Trudeau is one of the most recognizable leaders on the world stage and in this interview, he was playing to one of his strengths: star appeal.

His previous foray onto a stage with American talk show host Hasan Minhaj(opens in a new tab) had turned into a nightmare for Trudeau. He was quizzed on everything from his construction of the Trans-Mountain pipeline to his interference in the prosecution of SNC Lavalin.

Homerun? With who?

‘It’s a complex issue’: Why Steven Guilbeault thinks the Liberals’ climate plan isn’t resonating

The environment minister tried to make the case that the plan is working and ruled out slowing down scheduled increases to the carbon tax

OTTAWA — Low in the polls and staring down the barrel of an election, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault tried to make a case.

That case, which the minister outlined before reporters gathered on Parliament Hill on Tuesday, was a simple one: The Liberals’ plan to tackle climate change is working and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre wants to cut it.

Trudeau’s grip on Montreal cracks as Bloc, Conservatives gain ground

Support for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sharply declined in Montreal, one of his party’s last political strongholds, marking a dramatic shift in a city long considered a Liberal bastion, according to new polling.

As public dissatisfaction grows, even Trudeau’s once-secure base — home to his House of Commons seat — now appears vulnerable.

Trudeau’s “unpopularity, along with broader discontent with the Liberal party, has eroded support even in areas that previously seemed unassailable,” the Angus Reid Institute reported on Tuesday.

Bloc threatens to push for an early election if government doesn’t top up pensions by Oct. 29

Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet laid out a list of demands Wednesday he said the government must fulfil by the end of October if it wants to avoid the risk of an early election.

Speaking to reporters on Parliament Hill, Blanchet said the Bloc wants the government to push through a bill, C-319, that would hike Old Age Security (OAS) payouts by 10 per cent for seniors between the ages of 65 and 74. The government topped up OAS payments for seniors aged 75 and older in 2022.

Blanchet also said he wants the government to agree to pass a Bloc private member’s bill, C-282, that exempts the supply-managed farm sectors — dairy, poultry and eggs — from any future trade negotiations.

Sneaky. Blanchet has married the pension issue, a sure winner among seniors certainly, to the real agenda of protecting the cartels.

Terry Newman: Liberal embrace of lithium batteries is a toxic airborne event

Monday evening, at the Port of Montreal, a fire broke out in a container that was storing 15,000 kilograms of lithium batteries. The city issued a lockdown notice at 7:06 PM. Residents of the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough were told that it was “important to stay indoors, close doors, windows and ventilation systems for (their) safety.” The notice remained in effect until 10:57 PM when they ended the lockdown, assuring the public it was issued as a “precaution,” that the fire was now “under control,” even though the “operation could still take a few more hours,” and that “tests (had) confirmed that any danger to public health and safety (had) been ruled out.”

Colbert Laments To Trudeau That ‘Canada’s Trump’ May Bring ‘Fascism’

CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Monday’s taping of The Late Show in an attempt to help him reverse his collapse in the polls by labeling his Conservative Party opponent, Pierre Poilievre, “Canada’s Trump,” which naturally means he is, in Colbert’s eyes, a fascist, nativist-xenophobe.
