An Israeli defence contractor is taking the Canadian government to court after the company says it was taken out of the running for a multimillion-dollar military equipment contract without explanation.
Elbit Security Systems Ltd. says in an application filed in Federal Court last month that Public Services and Procurement Canada has refused to explain its “purported disqualification” from a contract for hand-held laser rangefinders for the Canadian Armed Forces.
In the aftermath of the Liberals’ devastating byelection loss in Toronto-St. Paul’s, Ont., on June 24, all eyes are now focused on the upcoming high stakes three-way byelection contest in the coveted Liberal Montreal area riding of LaSalle–Émard–Verdun. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau—dealing with internal dissent, and trailing the Conservatives nationally by a double-digit margin for the past year—has to call a byelection for the Quebec seat by July 30, with the date to be no later than Sept. 16.
“If Trudeau is having a hard time deciding to leave, then this is particularly important,” Greg Lyle, president of Innovative Research, said in an interview with The Hill Times. “And then that says that he doesn’t make the decision until he sees this result.”
Another very safe Liberal seat.
Assuming a Liberal win this byelection will be painted as a nation wide endorsement of the Trudeau regime.
A defeat will be blamed on the Jews, Christians, Truckers, Diagolon, Trump, feral cats and or Mike Harris.
Canadians are losing their trust in the media. According to a report from the Reuters Institute at the University of Oxford, overall trust in the media among the Canadian population has fallen from 55 percent in 2016 to 40 percent in 2023. Among English-speaking Canadians, trust in the news is even lower with just 37 percent saying they trust the media in 2023.
Dear Katie Telford,
It’ll feel odd to take advice from a lifelong Tory but hear me out.
Unlike anyone else in your orbit, I’ve been in your shoes. In the early 1990s, my desk in the Prime Minister’s Office also happened to be beside a PM who had equally bleak re-election prospects.
…On Monday, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson said in widely reported remarks that it is “shameful” Canada still hasn’t hit the two-per-cent target.
He accused Canada of “riding America’s coattails” — an echo of criticism by former president Donald Trump, whose tenure in the White House was coloured by his declarations that America’s allies were free-riding under the U.S. security umbrella.
The Quebec RCMP is actively investigating allegations of criminal activity related to foreign interference by the China Communist Party (CCP).
Authorities on Tuesday launched a public “awareness campaign” and are “seeking public assistance in connection with Chinese foreign interference in Quebec.”
The Trudeau compromised RCMP is investigating Trudeau’s boss XI in Quebec. Sure that really inspires confidence.
A growing number of Canadians are struggling financially, with nearly half stressed by housing costs and other living expenses, according to a recent survey.
One-in-three Canadians (32 percent) now fall into the “struggling” category, up from one-quarter two years ago, said the Angus Reid Institute (ARI) in its July 9 report. In addition, the number of Canadians in the “comfortable” category has decreased to 23 percent, down from 29 percent in 2022.
Canada is a cheapskate. We’re that friend who always “forgets” their wallet when they join you for dinner, who never splits the bill evenly because they “only had an appetizer,” who never treats their pals to a round but always drinks when someone else buys. Most us have had friends like this, and after a while, you stop inviting them out, leaving them to stare at the walls of their studio apartments alone.
TORONTO – A new survey says Canadians are feeling less optimistic about their finances, with respondents worried about inflation, income levels and a potential recession at the midpoint of the year.
TransUnion’s Canada consumer pulse study for the second quarter of 2024 found 57 per cent of Canadian households said their incomes are not keeping up with the current inflation rate, while 38 per cent expect payments for bills and loans to increase over the next three months.
The Privy Council Office (PCO) says it did not search the aliases Birju Dattani, the new head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, used to make controversial social media posts.
A spokesperson for the PCO said in a statement to CBC News on Monday that “an administrative oversight resulted in the aliases not being searched by PCO.”
In June, Dattani was named the CHRC’s chief commissioner, making him the first Muslim or racialized person to head the organization.
Entirely possible they didn’t search because that would have been “racist”.
A month after Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland did her best to talk up a class war, her boss now appears intent on using the housing crisis to pit young Canadians against the old.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says older Canadians who “scrimped and saved” to own homes don’t understand the hardships of a younger generation who can’t get a foot on the housing ladder.
There was an unscripted moment during a panel debate in Toronto last month that could go a long way toward explaining Canada’s long-term reluctance to publicly and wholeheartedly embrace NATO’s guideline for members’ defence spending.
Appearing on a panel at the Eurasia’s group’s U.S.-Canada Summit, the typically unflappable Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly was asked pointedly how Ottawa could be considered a reliable ally when it appears unable — or unwilling — to meet the western military alliance’s benchmark of spending at least two per cent of GDP on defence.
Big tranny army.
Canada’s ambassador for climate change has charged $254,000 in travel expenses in less than two years on the job.
Catherine Stewart billed for stays at luxury hotels ranging up to $623 a night, according to Blacklock’s Reporter, citing access to information records.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault appointed Stewart to the role on Aug. 2, 2022, saying she had done “exemplary work” as assistant deputy environment minister.
How many teat suckers like this are on the government payroll? Nothing this woman does will ever benefit citizens or the environment or anything else beyond her taste for high living.
At the crux of economic immigration policy is the question of whether immigrant selection should prioritize current labour market needs or the human capital of applicants. Does Canada need more farmhands and delivery riders, or do we want more scientists and tech workers?
For economists, the answer is simple.
Governments should rely on competitive markets to allocate labour to where it is most productive and focus immigration on raising the average skill level of the population.
We no longer live in that world.
Mass immigration is a weapon to keep wages depressed and citizens afraid & malleable.
The Great Replacement is not a conspiracy theory.
Housing Minister Sean Fraser in his housing design plans has done away with detached single family homes and determined Canadians will live in townhouses and walk-up apartments.
The department has released its Housing Design Catalogue for builders and designers, per Blacklock’s Reporter. No designs for detached single family homes are welcome.
