Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

Of all top-heavy Liberal climate policies, electric-vehicles mandate is the worst

To meet Canada’s commitment to its Paris Agreement climate goals, the federal government has announced increasingly heavy-handed emissions reduction policies this year. It culminated Monday in the publication of regulated targets for electric-vehicle sales: an EV mandate.

History has shown us time and again that government quotas are no match for the market. The Liberals want to show us one more time why this is the case.

Federal government to give Toronto $471 million in new housing cash – and it won’t make even a tiny dent in what’s needed

Toronto will be given nearly half a billion dollars over the next four years to speed up new housing development, with a formal announcement to take place on Thursday, two sources with knowledge of the deal say.

The money — $471 million, beginning with an immediate payout of $117.75 million with further annual payments made based on the city’s progress toward housing goals, according to one source — comes out of the feds’ four-billion Housing Accelerator Fund pool, announced in March and to be divided between local governments and Indigenous communities who can satisfy national officials about their progress on housing and density.

Everything the Liberals are trying to sell is a lie. Until the Mass Immigration spigot is turned off Canada will never have enough homes.

Canada’s Immigration Plan Is Not Viable In Any Version of Reality: BMO

Canada printed yet another massive, immigration-driven quarter of population growth. What housing crisis, the country just needs to build homes faster, right? BMO Capital Markets crunched the numbers to show just how comically distorted and unviable growth has become. It’s starting to become clear the plan isn’t to diversify the country, but stimulate home prices and validate a real estate bubble.

… Kavcic puts the current plan into perspective to show the type of scale required. “For additional context, at 2.5 people per household, we’d need more than 170k new units every three months at this rate of population growth, even before accounting for domestic household formation,” he explains.

The industry is currently pushed to the max trying to churn out 220k homes per year. That’s a significantly higher number than previous years, but still roughly a quarter of the amount that would be needed to accommodate the supply-side plan.

Motor Mouth: The consequences of Canada’s EV mandate

It’s now official. We have, as a nation, joined those other countries banning the sale of internal-combustion-engine-powered light-duty vehicles past the year 2035. Now, never mind that, like last year — when the feds dropped the original draft of these new standards — it appears the Liberals are once again hoping that dropping this rather Draconian new regulation right before Christmas will give them two weeks or so for skeptics’ distemper to dissipate. Or that, as I and many insiders believe, this is most definitely a Quebec-centric dictum — a province where both Liberals and EVs are hugely popular — writ large across the entirety of our fair land.

Charging an EV …

Trudeau’s top national security adviser retiring in the new year

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s top aide on national security matters has announced she’s retiring in early 2024, after spending the last two years providing advice to the government on pressing intelligence files including the allegations of foreign election interference and the “Freedom Convoy” protests.

National Security and Intelligence Adviser (NSIA) Jody Thomas revealed her plans to leave the public service “with a tear, and a smile,” in a message to colleagues that was provided to CTV News by the Privy Council Office.

Canada needs hundreds of thousands of public EV charging ports. Who is going to build them?

Most of the people who come to visit Debbie Nightingale’s Ontario farm are lured in by a chance to get up close and personal with her herd of friendly goats. But some visit for more practical reasons: to charge their electric vehicles.

“We have people who come on a regular basis because they know we have these,” Nightingale said, gesturing to the two-port EV-charging station she installed last year with the help of a federal tourism recovery grant.

As part of the federal government’s net-zero targets for the future, it is aiming for all new light-duty car and passenger truck sales to be zero emission by 2035, which will require a nationwide network of public charging ports.

Guilbeault is a lying idiot “Most people gonna charge at home.”

Is a Liberal resurgence possible under Trudeau?

We’ve reached a “new nadir,” says pollster Frank Graves, reflecting on his latest findings. “Canada’s outlook is the darkest and most divided in our lifetime.”

Is it that terrible? Mr. Graves has been taking the pulse of Canadian public opinion for 30 years. “Scores we are seeing on the country’s direction are the worst we have ever encountered,” he told me. Latest tally? “Seventy per cent of Canadians say the country is moving in the wrong direction.”

Jesse Kline: Steven Guilbeault’s bad-faith plan to ban gas-powered cars

The Liberals don’t like to characterize their policies as causing potentially irreparable divisions between Eastern and Western Canada. Yet nothing screams “Laurentian elite looking out for their own at the expense of everyone else” quite like the recent press conference announcing the government’s new Electric Vehicle Availability Standard.

ANALYSIS: Cost of EV Battery Replacement May Come as a Shock

They design a purpose built EV fire pool and it’s still burning.

As Ottawa mandates selling electric vehicles (EVs) and with an increasing number of offerings for consumers, the potentially major issue of battery replacement remains uncertain.

It’s been said that an EV is its battery and then everything else.

In a video uploaded Dec. 12, automotive journalists Andrea and Zack Spencer of the Motormouth Youtube channel, told the story of Kyle Hsu, a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 owner who faced a $60,000 bill to replace its battery. That was more than the $55,000 cost of the car brand new.

Justin Trudeau fears Pierre Poilievre is bringing Trump-style politics to Canada

Justin Trudeau is worried Canada is vulnerable to the spread of the far right in the United States, and says no one should be smugly assuming that this country is immune to its influence.

In a candid and personal interview with his old friend Terry DiMonte, Trudeau talked at length about the angry climate in Canada and the U.S., and what he sees as near “nihilism” infecting political discourse.

“There is something that is changing right now,” Trudeau said. “Donald Trump was a symptom of that, not a cause … There is a level of anger and ‘burn down the institutions’ and almost nihilism that’s creeping in, in all of our countries.”

Justin has a very strong aversion to mirrors.

Dear Ottawa: Mandating electric-vehicle sales is a bad idea

Canadians got a jolt Tuesday when Ottawa released new electric-vehicle regulations. The move, called the “Electric Vehicle Availability Standard,” aims to dramatically accelerate EV sales. Meeting the standard will require EVs to constitute 20 per cent of new vehicles sold by 2026, 60 per cent by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2035. For reference, EV market share has been less than 10 per cent in recent years. But not complying with the proposed rule risks drawing the ire of regulators – along with potentially hefty fines.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Anti-Israel propaganda is everywhere and the Liberals are benefitting

What happened to Canadian youth’s love-in with the Conservative Party? Last month, Gen Z couldn’t get enough of the Tories: an Abacus poll taken in late November found that 36 per cent of voters aged 18-29 would vote Conservative, compared to 24 per cent who would vote Liberal. This month, the bloom is off the rose: the latest Abacus poll shows Conservative voters bleeding to the Liberals in all age categories, but most noticeably among 18-29 year olds. Today, only 24 per cent of them would vote Conservative, compared to 32 per cent who would vote Liberal, a near total reversal.

Perceptions of corruption increasing in Canada: Report

Canada faces “increased perceptions of corruption,” a new Department of Public Safety report says.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the document doesn’t identify specific cases but says “establishing a strong ethical tone at the top may be a useful tactic.

“The country has experienced a relatively consistent drop in its score over the past two decades, indicating increased perceptions of corruption,” said the report, “Methods Of Preventing Corruption: A Review And Analysis Of Select Approaches.”

Cory Morgan: Ottawa’s 2035 EV Target Will Be a Costly Policy Failure

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s plan to illegalize the sale of new conventional vehicles in Canada by 2035 is unreasonable, extreme, and will wreak havoc on the Canadian economy.

Despite nearly 10 years of cajoling, promoting, and subsidizing electric vehicles (EVs), over 95 percent of vehicle sales in Canada are still combustion engine models. EVs remain too expensive and impractical for Canadians to embrace. Rather than trying to understand why citizens won’t switch to EVs, the Canadian government is taking the ham-handed approach of forcing the transition, and the consequences of the move will be dire.

Trudeau says antisemitism rise is ‘terrifying’ after teen terror charges

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the rise of antisemitism in Canada is “terrifying” after a 15-year-old was arrested late on Friday night in Ottawa and charged with terrorism-related offences.

The RCMP say it’s alleged the youth, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, intended to target the Jewish community and is suspected of having explosive materials.
