Justin Trudeau: Trump Bad Man! Poilievre Bad Man! Trump Bad Man! Poilievre Bad Man!

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.

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.

Liberals don’t want to regulate speech with online harms bill, justice minister says

Canada’s justice minister said he hopes to avoid accusations that the Liberal government is trying to regulate or curb speech with its planed bill to protect people from online harms.

“Where I don’t want this bill to go is down some sort of path where it looks like people are trying to tell you what to think, or how to criticize people,” federal Justice Minister Arif Virani told The Canadian Press in a wide-ranging interview last week.

“That’s absolutely not what we’re talking about.”

Why North American electric vehicle mandates are destined to fail

According to reports, the Trudeau government will soon unveil regulations meant to phaseout the sale of new internal combustion vehicles and compel Canadians to buy zero-emission vehicles. The Biden administration is also mandating a similar shift. T

These initiatives, however, overlook two realities — consumer preferences are not easily swayed by top-down government directives and the unrealistic timeline for minerals crucial for electric vehicles (EV) raises serious doubts about the likelihood of success.


Surprising article from the Star.

It makes the case that Trudeau’s EV nuttery is doomed to failure without even touching on the unrealistic development expectations of the electrical power infrastructure needed to charge his childish wishdream.

Have A Jolly Corporate Crony Christmas! Canadian Job Vacancies Are Falling Sharply As Excess Labor Rises

Canada’s once tight labor market, a key driver of wages and shelter costs, is loosening. Statistics Canada (Stat Can) data reveals job vacancies declined further in Q3 2023. The drop is a double-edged sword: roles being filled is good news, but job creation is failing to keep up with population growth. Canada is adding roughly 2 workers for every job filled, which will quickly transition a tight labor market to one with excess labor in a short period. Expect unemployment to rise and wage growth to fall if this trend persists.
