Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Ontario had a cabinet shuffle last week during which an intriguing but little-remarked change took place.

Someone named Stan Cho will replace someone named Neil Lumsden for seating rights at Premier Doug Ford’s cabinet table. The intriguing bit is that while Neil was minister of tourism, culture and sport, Stan will be minister of tourism, culture and gaming.

Gambling has replaced sport because it’s all about money, and money is more important than sports. Sports knows this, which is why sporting broadcasts are now just pretexts to ceaselessly batter viewers with gambling ads. Wayne Gretzky, formerly a hockey hero, is now best known as a shill for BetMGM.

We are just under 500 days, or a little over 16 months, from being able to throw the Trudeau government out of office. Increasingly, there is a worry that this time frame still gives Justin Trudeau and his team far too much time to inflict further damage.

A recent Hill Times interview with Liberal MP Marcus Powlowski seemed to reveal something telling about the current state of the Liberal caucus: Few of them have ever had it this good, or will ever have it this good again.

Powlowski said that if he loses his seat in Thunder Bay – Rainy River, he can simply return to his medical practice. But as the article then noted, “some MPs may find it hard to get a similar well-paying and prestigious job as they currently have if they lose the next election.”

Madame Defarge, the vengeance seeking shopkeeper in Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities who divided the world into righteous rebels and evil aristos, has morphed into Canada’s deputy prime minister.

According to Chrystia Freeland it appears a seething mass of angry proletarians may be ready to storm the luxury strongholds of the wealthy unless the Liberal plan to raise capital gains tax is implemented.

In a speech on Sunday, Freeland stoked the flames of class and generational warfare using bizarre, outlandish and dangerous rhetoric.

‘No hope’ for Liberals winning next federal election with Trudeau as leader, say pollsters

Whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau leads the Liberals in the next federal election, or his party’s members choose a successor should he step down from the helm before the federal vote, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is likely headed to forming a majority government, say pollsters.

Trudeau “has basically tanked with everybody,” according to Greg Lyle, president and founder of the Innovative Research Group. “It’s over for him. There’s no hope with Trudeau.”

One in five Canadians say they or someone they know used a food bank within the past 12 months, a new survey shows.

Conducted by Nanos Research for CTV News over late May and early June, the survey of more than 1,000 Canadians found that, while only two per cent of respondents said they visited a food bank for help, close to twice as many knew of a family member who did, and more than 10 per cent said they had a friend or acquaintance who received assistance.

Chrystia Freeland is warning that democracy is at stake if Canada doesn’t raise the capital gains inclusion rate. Justin Trudeau’s deputy prime minister was speaking Sunday of the cold and dark future that awaits Canada if this specific tax change isn’t made.
