A call to condemn the most recent arson attack on a Christian church — Feb. 9 at Blessed Sacrament Church in downtown Regina — failed to gain unanimous approval in the House of Commons.
On Feb. 12, Conservative MP Corey Tochor called for unanimous consent to condemn the arson at Blessed Sacrament. Members of the Liberal-NDP governing coalition responded with “no.” Speaker of the House of Commons Greg Fergus quickly stated, “there is no unanimous consent.”
Of all of Justin Trudeau’s tweets on what we now call ‘X’ that haven’t aged well, his observation on October 17, 2013 that, “It’s hard not to feel disappointed in your government when every day there is a new scandal” has aged the worst.
Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives have increased their support as the party Canadians would vote for and the Liberals are at a statistical tie with the New Democrats, according to the latest Nanos Research ballot tracking, which measures popular support for the major federal parties.
Poilievre’s personal numbers continue to trend sharply upwards while his party saw a 17-point advantage over the federal Liberals in the new Nanos tracking.

OTTAWA — The Trudeau cabinet has spent more than $1 million on retreats focused on attempting to get a grip on Canada’s affordability crisis.
The Liberal ministers held three multi-day meetings in Charlottetown, P.E.I., Vancouver, and Hamilton, Ont., between September 2022 and August 2023. The tally has reached $1,325,233.84, according to expense disclosures and access-to-information requests.
Asked about online harms bill, Poilievre raises Trudeau’s past use of blackface
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday his party is vehemently opposed to the government’s forthcoming online harms legislation, a bill designed to combat hate speech, terrorist content and some violent material on the internet.
Saying he won’t accept “Justin Trudeau’s woke authoritarian agenda,” Poilievre said the prime minister and his government shouldn’t be deciding what constitutes “hate speech” online and called the legislation an “attack on freedom of expression.”
The world wants to invest in Canada.
We have abundant natural resources and a young and educated workforce. Infrastructure is decent enough to ensure the timely flow of goods. And when there is a dispute between signatories in a contract, the courts are predictable, equitable and honest.
Rob Oliphant seems an unlikely candidate to serve as a fiery, chest-thumping rebel, chronic troublemaker or ego on legs searching out microphones and cameras he can spout off to.
A Liberal loyalist since youth, he has party credentials reaching back to the first Trudeau regime almost 50 years ago. He served in several capacities for David Peterson’s Ontario government, has worked on more Liberal campaigns than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made promises and was tasked with important roles by former leaders Stéphane Dion and Michael Ignatieff. In 2019, Trudeau appointed him parliamentary secretary to the minister of foreign affairs, a post he still holds.
VANCOUVER – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it’s “obvious” contracting rules weren’t followed during the development of the controversial ArriveCan app.
Trudeau says the app was developed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic when everything was in question, but there is still a need to follow rules even in difficult times.
He says investigations are ongoing and there will be consequences for instances in which public servants did not abide by the rules.
The human-rights group Canadian Friends of Hong Kong says it won’t participate in Canada’s public inquiry into foreign interference, citing what it calls grave concerns about the standing granted to three politicians with alleged ties to the Chinese government.
In January, an organization representing Uyghur Canadians announced it was withdrawing from the public inquiry over the same matter. The refusals to participate threaten to undermine the commission’s ability to hear from all vulnerable communities facing persecution from China.
If, as the cliché goes, political electability is about who voters want to sit down to have a beer with, then it is also about who they don’t want to sit down to have a beer with. And if we believe recent polling, it appears that voters really, really don’t want to sit down for a cold one with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Nor, it seems, do they want to share a $10 bottle of Kombucha with him. According to data from late last year, millennials are nearly twice as likely to vote for the federal Conservatives led by Pierre Poilievre than they are the Trudeau Liberals. What’s weirder is that Gen Z — a demographic that lists climate change as a primary reason for not bearing children — appears more likely to vote Conservative in the next federal election. Overall, the vast majority of Canadians want Trudeau to step down as Liberal leader.
It’s not just Trudeau people are fed up with all the LPC’s corrupt idiots for ruining Canada.

I leave the wonderful hamlet of Buckhorn once a week to spend time in downtown Toronto filming my interviews, with all sorts of people, to discuss the issues of the day.
I have interviewed NDPers, and Liberals, but few will now come forward to agree with anything that the Canadian government is pushing.
HALIFAX—Apart from the Canadian public, the obvious loser in the ArriveCan scandal is the Trudeau government.
After all, it takes a special kind of incompetence to turn an $80,000 project into a $60-million boondoggle of epic proportions.
Thanking the Auditor General for writing what could be your political epitaph isn’t fooling anyone. Neither is the promise to accept her recommendations. Or protestations that you are committed to handling taxpayers’ money responsibly. In the light of the AG’s findings, that is all nonsense.

Everything the Liberal party says it is doing to “solve” the housing crisis they created through their society destroying mass immigration program is a damn lie.
The Liberals have us so far up the creek it will take years to fix the housing crisis and this assumes they are willing to cut back on immigration. A lost generation of Canadians will never be able to own a home or be able to find affordable rental accomodation.
If Canadians feel angry reading the revelations last week about ArriveCan, they should
Auditor-General Karen Hogan’s report on the federal government’s app for travellers during COVID-19 comes on the heels of countless reviews and committee hearings, after The Globe’s reporting found that the app’s price tag had ballooned to at least $54-million.
