Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Canada’s auditor general has announced plans to evaluate the effectiveness of the federal child care program, as providers continue to voice concerns about the program’s impact on the sector and ability to meet its stated goals.

The office of the auditor general is in the process of launching an audit of the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care program (CWELCC) and is considering involving provincial auditors general in the investigation, said Auditor General Karen Hogan. She made the remarks in a July 18 letter reviewed by The Epoch Times and sent to the Association of Day Care Operators of Ontario (ADCO), the industry association for the province’s daycare providers.

Auditors have revealed that a federal “Equality Fund” established with a $300 million taxpayer grant quickly lost 10% of its value due to poor investments.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the fund was intended to aid women in developing countries.

Bureaucrats love to think of themselves as “public servants,” but who is really serving who around here?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau added another 10,525 bureaucrats to the taxpayer payroll last year. Since becoming prime minister, Trudeau has added more than 108,000 new federal bureaucrats.

He is literally buying voters with our money.

Last week, columnist Kimberley Strassel wrote in the Wall Street Journal that the Democratic Party’s central problem is, not Joe Biden’s deteriorating cognition, but its policies. The very same day, our own Prime Minister’s Office criticized Deputy PM and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland for poor economic messaging, a stunning public rebuke of the second most important person in the government and one of her boss’ most vocal loyalists. Apparently, Liberals’ fiscal ineptitude was not a major contributor to their staggering by-election loss in the formerly safe riding of Toronto-St. Paul’s.

It’s come down to this for Justin Trudeau as he seeks a way to win back cranky voters.

Another big-spending budget loaded with pricey benefits fell flat. A tax raid on Canadians graceless enough to buy houses before they became unaffordable failed to impress. Stirring up resentment against “the very wealthy” did nothing to reverse polls.

It’s hard to understate the historical moment that came with NATO’s 75-anniversary summit last week. The milestone the organization reached, being held in the capital of its most powerful member, should have been significant enough on its own. But with the Ukrainian War continuing, increased Chinese aggression in the South China Sea, and the growing prospect of Donald Trump winning a second term has accentuated the summit’s importance. Shoring up NATO’s long-term defence and security has become a major focus across the alliance’s members. It was into this milieu that Justin Trudeau arrived.
