At the Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference this week in Ottawa, grassroots conservatives must insist that party leaders stop supporting the climate scare. It is not enough to “axe the tax” or “spike the hike,” as Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) Leader Pierre Poilievre, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and other provincial leaders demand. The “carbon tax” is merely a symptom of the climate change disease threatening Canada’s prosperity and energy security.
Liberal government to launch $500M fund for youth mental health
Ottawa is setting up a $500-million fund to help community health organizations provide more mental health care to young people.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland made the announcement Tuesday in Ottawa alongside other cabinet ministers, including Ya’ara Saks, the minister of mental health and addictions.
“Many Canadians right now are facing stress and anxiety due to war, geopolitical unrest, climate change, and financial strains,” Saks said.
What happened to Canadian kids in WW II did they all throw themselves off a cliff?
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to have a “publicly televised” meeting with the premiers to talk about the carbon price increase.
“I think he’s too scared,” Poilievre said Monday morning when asked if he thinks Trudeau would meet with the premiers on TV.
A top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service briefing prepared for the Prime Minister’s Office in February last year said Beijing had “clandestinely and deceptively interfered in both the 2019 and 2021 general elections.”
The classified document, dated Feb. 21, 2023, was drafted in response to media stories, including one in The Globe and Mail, that outlined a sophisticated campaign by China and its proxies to interfere in the 2021 election. The document was made public on Monday, when it was tabled at the Commission of Inquiry into Foreign Interference.
I can’t help but notice that few bother to comment on posts about the Liberal Party’s corrupt relationship with the PRC.
Personally I am resigned to the fact that nothing will change regardless of the commission’s findings which I suspect is the reason for the lack of interest from readers.
Our political class looks after their own.
No one will be charged, no one will go to jail and no one will lose their job.
Leaving Canada is becoming a serious consideration.
One of the most dominant topics in both the Canadian news media and politics is housing. The news features come out on a daily basis. Politicians at all levels of government voice their concerns and make announcements. Some of these announcements come with major cash infusions towards housing initiatives.
The consensus is broad and clear: Housing is too costly. There are too few units being built. The problem needs to be tackled with an all-hands-on-deck approach.
OTTAWA — Canada aims to grow its military to 71,500 regular members over the next eight years by addressing long-standing recruitment and retention problems, according to an updated defence policy announced Monday.
The new strategy builds on several recently announced policies that softened the Canadian Armed Forces’ eligibility requirements, adding new funding for military housing, child care, and efforts to digitize services and increase the number of civilian specialists, although most of that funding will come more than five years down the line.
No mention of being so woke they’ve driven away their most reliable source of recruits.
A top secret CSIS briefing prepared for the Prime Minister’s Office in February 2023 last year, following leaks to the media about Chinese meddling, said Beijing “clandestinely and deceptively interfered in both the 2019 and 2021 general elections.”
The classified document, dated Feb. 21, 2023, was tabled at the Commission of Inquiry into Foreign Interference in response to media stories including one in The Globe and Mail that outlined a sophisticated campaign by People’s Republic of China (PRC) and its proxies to interfere in the 2021 election.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada is exploring the possibility of joining the second phase of AUKUS, a U.S.-led alliance with the United Kingdom and Australia.
The initial pillar of the alliance, forged in 2021, was focused on developing nuclear-powered submarines for Australia.
Trudeau says Canada will consider whether it needs to purchase nuclear-powered submarines to better ensure it can defend Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic.
Bullshit, nothing but electioneering.
The slowly emerging proportions of the interference by the People’s Republic of China in Canadian elections does not justify concern that illicit interference materially changed the result of the two general elections in 2019 and 2021 in which China is alleged to have intervened on behalf of a number of Liberal and Conservative candidates.
For many years, there was no political payback for increasing defence expenditure, so governments in Ottawa didn’t bother.
But recent polls suggest voters are sufficiently spooked by events in Ukraine and the Middle East, not to mention by the prospect of Donald Trump’s return to the White House, to urge Ottawa to start taking defence seriously again.
On April 4, Canadian families of Hamas victims and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) launched a legal challenge of the federal government’s decision to resume funding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), following revelations that some of its staff provided material support for the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in a state of desperation. His minority Liberal government has been polling behind Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives for the better part of two years. They’re down in most opinion polls by 15 to 18 points, and only have the support of 23 to 26 per cent of the Canadian electorate. His left-leaning policies have turned off many Canadians, including fellow Liberals. His standing in the international community barely has a pulse. His personal popularity numbers continue to plummet.
How is Trudeau still in power? Because he signed a three-year work-and-supply agreement with Jagmeet Singh’s New Democrats – who are also struggling mightily in the polls – that doesn’t expire until June 2025. Without this, his goose would have been cooked.
There are so many downsides to the untenable prices in the Canadian housing market that it’s hard to keep up. But to add another one to the list: The negative effect on mobility, including the ability of people to move for work.
Prohibitively expensive home prices, high interest rates and increasing rents are the antithesis to the movement of people. Many are stuck in this constipated housing market. If you have anything close to a decent spot, you’re not going anywhere. It’s a big part of what’s gumming up the system.
As months pass, Statistics Canada’s reports suggest that food inflation is easing, and prices are gradually stabilizing. However, many consumers are not experiencing this stabilization firsthand. This perceptual discrepancy has raised questions about the accuracy of Statistics Canada’s data on food prices.
OTTAWA—Canada will raise military spending by more than $8 billion over the next five years under a revamped military strategy that still won’t hit NATO targets, but that the Trudeau government is pitching as a roadmap to ensure the military meets a “complex generational challenge.”
Entitled Our North, Strong and Free, the policy plan pledges to ramp up annual spending until the additional injection reaches about $1.9 billion in the fifth year, and commits $73 billion in new money over the next two decades to buy new gear and boost Canadian Forces recruitment to allow it to confront security challenges posed by climate change in the Arctic and more aggressive authoritarian regimes around the world.
Usual hot air. Climate Change! Climate Change! Climate Change! Transvestite Climate Change!
