U.S. ambassador ‘not aware’ of any plans for Trudeau-Trump meeting

Canada’s Ambassador to the United States says she’s “not aware” of any plans for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to meet with former U.S. president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump before the November American election.

“I think that’s a question for the prime minister,” Kirsten Hillman told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos, in an interview airing Sunday. “I’m not aware of any plans in that regard.”

Prime Minister’s Office spokesperson Mohammad Hussain said there is no meeting scheduled between Trudeau and Trump during the prime minister’s visit this week.

Trump turned him down I bet.

Canada’s standard of living on track for worst decline in 40 years

Canada is experiencing one of the country’s worst declines in the standard of living in 40 years, according to a study.

The authors of the study by the non-partisan Fraser Institute said the figures should serve as a “wake-up call” for the country’s Liberal government, led by Justin Trudeau, to enact “fundamental policy reforms”.

While Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) has grown in recent years, driven by high population growth and labour supply, its GDP per person has fallen dramatically, the study said.

Thank Trudeau.

Douglas Todd: In Vancouver, unhappily, it’s all about the price of dirt

It’s all about the land, the price of dirt.

The facts and figures are discouraging for people who don’t own urban property, which in a few decades has become the greatest source of wealth in the English-speaking world.

Although land inflation is a global urban phenomenon, Metro Vancouver residents suffer from the worst from it. The cost of dirt in Vancouver, for instance, hyper-escalated by 500 per cent between 2008 and 2016.

What happens when a thin-skinned political lifer becomes prime minister? We may be about to find out

“You must be kidding.” That was one of the many emails I received in response to a column I published in Policy Options in 2021 titled ”Justin Trudeau: The Mature Brand.” It argued that the man once accused of being ”just not ready” in a barrage of attack ads by the Stephen Harper-led Conservatives had transformed into a seasoned, mature figure.
At nearly 50, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had just navigated the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic. But I warned that while Trudeau starts from a position of strength, the unpredictable nature of the pandemic could affect voter loyalty. I wrote that “strong brands provide certainty, ease, and empathy, qualities Trudeau must embody to win the next election. Nonetheless, voter fatigue and a desire for straightforward solutions may challenge his campaign’s effectiveness.” He won another minority in October 2021. But the voter fatigue I warned of has grown into irritation. Many, including the person who wrote me that email, are now convinced Trudeau wasn’t ready to be Prime Minister. And still isn’t.
Blackie’s Star is getting more desperate by the day.

In Trudeau’s Canada, bodies go unclaimed as costs put funerals out of reach

TORONTO, May 18 (Reuters) – Some Canadian provinces have logged a jump in unclaimed dead bodies in recent years, with next of kin citing funeral costs as a growing reason for not collecting loved ones’ remains.

The phenomenon has prompted at least one province to build a new storage facility. Demand for memorial fundraisers has surged. The overall cost of a funeral in Canada at the top end has increased to about $8,800 from about $6,000 in 1998, according to industry trade group estimates.

‘Demographic Shock’ of Immigration Intensifying Affordable House Crisis: Bank

The “demographic shock” of mass immigration is aggravating Canada’s affordable housing problem, the National Bank of Canada says in a new report.

Canada’s working-age population—people aged 15 and older—increased by more than 100,000 in April alone, bringing total population growth to more than 410,000 in the first four months of 2024, according to the May 15 “Hot Charts“ published by National Bank Financial, Inc. (NBF), a subsidiary of the National Bank of Canada, Canada’s sixth-largest commercial bank.

GUNTER: Canadians living the low life

Canadians’ standard of living has declined to a level not seen for nearly 40 years. The average Canadian is now only as well off as when another Trudeau was in the prime minister’s office.

The last time our standard of living was this low, the top movies were Footloose, Terminator and Ghostbusters and the top pop hits were “When Doves Cry,” “What’s Love Got to Do with It” and “Karma Chameleon.” (Remember Boy George?)

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau’s pledge of open access to government information lies in ruins

Among all of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s broken promises, the most cynical has been the abandonment of his pledge in the 2015 election campaign that brought him to power, to deliver open and transparent government to Canadians.

“Government data and information should be open by default in formats that are modern and easy to use,” the Liberals promised in 2015.

Trudeau lies out of both sides of his mouth on mass immigration scam

Canada Needs Path to Citizenship for Undocumented Immigrants While Speeding Up Deportations, Trudeau says

There needs to be a path to citizenship for undocumented Canadian immigrants, while in other cases deportation proceedings must be “accelerated,” says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“There needs to be … a pathway towards regularization and citizenship which I know [Immigration Minister Mark Miller] is working on. In some cases we need to accelerate deportation proceedings,” Mr. Trudeau said during a press conference on May 17.

“There’s a balance in making sure that the integrity of our immigration system holds.”

That lying prick is destroying Canada through his mass immigration scam.

Chris Selley: Trudeau’s abortion shtick reaches new lows

“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that Canadian conservative leaders are as much of a threat to women’s right to a safe abortion as the rollback of the landmark Roe v. Wade court decision was in the United States,” the Toronto Star reported this week. I was disbelieving. Even by the standards of Trudeauvian hyperbole and Canada’s kabuki abortion politics, that would be a hall-of-fame howler.

Kielburger Mom’s Defamation Lawsuit Against Canadaland to Go to Trial

A defamation lawsuit filed by the mother of Marc and Craig Kielburger against the Canadaland podcast and its host will head to trial after an Ontario court rejected an application to have it thrown out, finding there is reason to believe the claim has “substantial merit.”

Canadaland, its host Jesse Brown and others involved in the podcast had sought to have the lawsuit—which centres on an August 2021 episode about the Kielburger-founded WE Organization—dismissed under legislation meant to protect people from litigation intended to silence critics or public debate.

Why Affordable Housing Policies Have Failed

Canada now plays host to 807,750 foreign students, 770,000 temporary workers, and 500,000 new immigrants being admitted annually. As a group, they represent mass immigration. Most of these people settle and are concentrated in a few parts of Canada, nowhere more so than southern Ontario and southern BC. Their numbers are rising annually and the 500,000 new immigrants drove our population over 40 million this year. We have the fastest growing population in the Group of Seven (G7). Since 2002, immigration, excluding students and temporary workers, has totalled 5.9 million.

Pat King boasted on social media about ‘Freedom Convoy’ jamming roads, court hears

OTTAWA – “Freedom Convoy” organizer Pat King boasted about his role in gridlocking downtown Ottawa and directed protesters to honk their horns in contravention of a court order in a series of videos published on social media during the events.

Those videos were tendered as evidence in his criminal trial Thursday.

King pleaded not guilty to nine charges related to his role in the protest, including a number of allegations that he counselled others to break the law by breaking a court order, with those individuals then committing mischief and intimidation.
