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.
Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Poilievre’s support continues to rise as fewer think Trudeau should be leader, new Nanos surveys find
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.

As cost-of-living crisis deepens, Liberals spend $1.3 million on three ‘affordability retreats’
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.
Trudeau should ‘look into his own heart and ask himself why he was such a hateful racist,’ Poilievre says
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.”
GUNTER: Trudeau Liberals have become an obstacle to world investment
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.
Kelly McParland: As their party starts to crack, Liberals look the other way
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.
It’s ‘obvious’ that rules weren’t followed with ArriveCan development, Trudeau says
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.
Second diaspora group pulls out of Xi Jinping’s rigged foreign-interference inquiry
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.
Nobody wants to have a beer with Justin Trudeau
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.

LEDREW: Trudeau leading Canada down woke path to impoverished nation
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.
Obvious loser in ArriveCan scandal is Trudeau government
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.
EU farmers are protesting climate change regulations. Could Canadians join them?
In Poland, farmers pelted the European Union building with eggs.
In Belgium, hundreds of tractors blockaded one of the continent’s busiest ports.
“I’m a small farmer, I’m 18 years old, and I don’t know how life will turn out for me later on,” said Mattia Buzzone, a Sicilian farmer, at a protest in Rome, Italy.
Douglas Todd: Record population growth ‘massive problem’ for housing in B.C.
B.C. mayors say they can’t keep up with densification, which means rebuilding sewers, water lines, roads and more
The statisticians describe the unprecedented number of people streaming into B.C., while the province’s mayors explain how difficult and costly it is to try to house everyone.
A special housing meeting of the Union of B.C. Municipalities heard this week that B.C.’s population has jumped like never before — and that more than 600,000 new dwellings are needed just to get back to supply and demand ratios similar to a couple of decades ago.
How we thought we’d turn out vs how we will turn out.

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.
Will the government learn anything from the ArriveCan saga?
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.
Jack Mintz: ‘ArriveScam’ boondoggle demands government accountability
If I have a serious health problem, like a chest pain, who do I reach out to? A physician? A clinic? A hospital emergency department? Or do I take my chest pain to a consulting firm that has no medical expertise? It’s not a trick question: with your life on the line, you go to the best as quickly as possible.
Every Liberal government comes with pre-loaded graft.
