Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

It’s time for the Liberal Party to force Justin Trudeau’s hand

“One important thing I learned in politics,” said Herb Dhaliwal, the British Columbia Liberal who served in the cabinets of Jean Chrétien, “is that once people have made up their minds, they’re not about to change.”

He was talking about Justin Trudeau’s situation. For a year now, Mr. Trudeau and his Liberals have been light years behind the Conservatives. They currently trail in various polls by 15 to 20 points. No other Liberal prime minister has ever had this kind of sustained and appalling deficit. If ever Canada’s “natural governing party” was in the throes of a death spiral, it’s now.

Canadian Home Prices “Need” To Be High To Pay For Retirements: PM

Canadian real estate prices have surged in almost every market, with a typical home price doubling in many regions. A median household in major cities like Toronto and Vancouver would need to save over 20 years for just the down payment, more than 3x the historic average. Seems absurd? The outlandish scenario was apparently a part of everyone’s retirement plan, according to Canada’s government.

That’s according to statements made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in an interview with the Globe & Mail’s City Space podcast. “Housing needs to retain its value… It’s a huge part of people’s potential for retirement and future nest egg,” he explained when discussing affordability.

The statement is shocking. If the intention was to never lower home prices, what was with the tens of billions spent on improving affordability about? We’ve long argued many of the measures implemented were actually to reinforce prices, not lower them. But let’s look past all of that, and get to the most disturbing part of that sentence.

Defence industry, allies call for Canada to increase military investments

Canada’s announcement of an $11.2-billion contract to improve training platforms for the military is getting a lukewarm reception at the country’s largest defence trade show, as allies and military industry companies want to see more investment from the federal government.

Bill Blair detailed the contract, which includes the purchase of 70 training aircraft, in a keynote speech at the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries’ annual defence industry tradeshow (CANSEC) in Ottawa.

Trudeau’s Canada: Elderly Ontario woman living illegally in RV encampment as rents continue to rise

An unhoused woman almost a year into exile at a small RV encampment in Hamilton’s North End says she’s hopeful a permanent housing solution that fits her needs will arrive soon.

Nearly half of Canadians think Trudeau is staying on for selfish reasons: poll

OTTAWA — Nearly half of Canadians think Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is staying on as Liberal leader, despite his party lagging far behind Conservatives in polls, simply because he likes being prime minister, according to a new survey.

Respondents to a new Postmedia-Leger poll were asked whether they thought Trudeau was staying because he wanted to implement new policies, because he wanted to face off against Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, because he didn’t think his party had any better options or whether he just liked his job.

Trudeau Lied: Royal Canadian Navy not considering nuclear-powered subs

The Royal Canadian Navy is not looking at the option of nuclear submarines despite earlier suggestions by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to the contrary.

The navy has been focused on the potential acquisition of convention-powered submarines for the past several years to eventually replace the existing Victoria-class submarines, according to emails from National Defence to this newspaper.

“The RCN is completing an analysis of conventional submarines that meet Canada’s requirement to patrol all three of its oceans,” National Defence spokeswoman Frédérica Dupuis confirmed in the latest email.

Harassment of MPs spiked almost 800% in 5 years, says House sergeant-at-arms

The harassment members of Parliament experience from the public has jumped almost 800 per cent in the last five years, according to the person in charge of security in the House of Commons.

Patrick McDonell, sergeant-at-arms and corporate security officer, told a committee of MPs studying the House harassment policy Tuesday that the spike was driven by incidents that are “mostly online but also in person and at events.”

The number of files McDonell’s office has opened on threats to MPs has also increased significantly, he said.

What’s worse the butt hurt experienced by coddled MP’s or the real world harm the Liberal government has inflicted upon Canadians?

John Ivison: If 2025 becomes the mortgage-pain election, the Liberals have already lost

Sometimes, politics is simple.

Occasionally, voters disregard all the noise, look at their own personal circumstance and vote accordingly.

That would not bode well for the Liberals in next year’s election.

In the House of Commons on Monday, Conservative Leader, Pierre Poilievre, pointed out that three-quarters of the outstanding mortgages in the country will be coming up for renewal before the end of 2026.

As predicted on this blog, Trudeau is working to support sky high real estate prices in cities to protect his urban vote base.

Trudeau says real estate needs to be more affordable, but lowering home prices would put retirement plans at risk

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government aims to make housing more affordable for younger Canadians without bringing down home prices for existing homeowners.

Cutting shelter costs while ensuring that homeowners’ property values remain high could be viewed as contradictory, but Mr. Trudeau was adamant that property owners would not lose out.

“Housing needs to retain its value,” Mr. Trudeau told The Globe and Mail’s City Space podcast. “It’s a huge part of people’s potential for retirement and future nest egg.”

Mass immigration will be maintained at unsustainable levels to force housing prices ever higher and drive rents out of reach.

Trudeau’s corporate cronies will reap a bonanza from the shortages mass immigration brings not the least of which is depressed wages.

Ottawa wants the power to create secret backdoors in our networks to allow for surveillance

A federal cybersecurity bill, slated to advance through Parliament soon, contains secretive, encryption-breaking powers that the government has been loath to talk about. And they threaten the online security of everyone in Canada.

Bill C-26 empowers government officials to secretly order telecommunications companies to install backdoors inside encrypted elements in Canada’s networks. This could include requiring telcos to alter the 5G encryption standards that protect mobile communications to facilitate government surveillance.

China can’t use Canada as trade path for cheap goods, Freeland says

(Bloomberg) — Canada won’t allow itself to become a foothold for oversupplied Chinese goods that could pass through to its democratic allies, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said.

But she did not commit to following the path of U.S. President Joe Biden, who announced massive tariff hikes against Chinese goods earlier this month. For now, Canada is simply reviewing its trade measures toward China, Freeland said.

“Canada absolutely recognizes that China has an intentional, state-directed economic policy which is leading to overcapacity and oversupply in specific sectors,” Freeland told reporters on Tuesday. She said the Asian country isn’t “playing by the rules” when it comes to steel, aluminum, some critical minerals and metals and manufacturing products.

CSIS and Trudeau’s adviser clashed on foreign interference threat in 2021: report

Intelligence regarding foreign interference sometimes didn’t make it to the prime minister’s desk in 2021 because Canada’s spy agency and the prime minister’s national security adviser didn’t always see eye to eye on the nature of the threat, according to a recent report from one of Canada’s intelligence watchdogs.

The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) released a report on Monday evening pointing to several schisms in the flow of information between Canada’s intelligence agencies and the federal government during the last two federal elections.

The latest unintended, inevitable consequence of Liberal immigration policy

Canada has always been an outlier on immigration. That was true long before the Trudeau government. Compared to other rich countries, we had a relatively wide and open door. But around the door were walls, which were also higher than those in Europe or the United States.

Canadians were always concerned about controlling the border, yet very welcoming of immigrants. That sounds like a contradiction. It isn’t. Walls don’t block a door, they support it. No walls? No door.

Joe Oliver: The Trudeau Liberals have eroded all five pillars of prosperity

Canada’s standard of living is in decline, both in absolute terms and compared to our southern neighbour and other wealthy countries. A Fraser Institute analysis shows that real GDP per capita was lower during the pre-recession period 2016-19 than in any similar period since 1985. As of the last quarter of 2023 it was below its value for 2019:Q2. It’s no surprise that 44 per cent of Canadians now say money is their leading source of stress.

Canada’s ‘net zero’ greenhouse gas emission targets are ‘wishful thinking’: Report

The Trudeau government’s pledge to achieve “net zero” greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 is impractical and unrealistic, and its 2030 target of cutting emissions up to 45% below 2005 levels could cause significant damage to the Canadian economy, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.
