Trudeau’s new regulations will hike costs for low-income families

This summer, thanks to the Trudeau government’s new Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), Canadians already struggling with the high cost of gasoline, groceries and other essentials will see the cost of living rise even higher.

The CFR, which went into effect July 1, forces fuel producers and importers to gradually reduce the carbon content of the fuels they sell. By 2030, the “carbon intensity” of these fuels, which measures the emissions generated per unit of energy, must be 15% below 2016 levels. If fuel suppliers fail to meet these standards, they must purchase credits, increasing costs that will inevitably be passed on to Canadians who rely on gasoline or diesel.

Blair Doubles Down in Blaming CSIS for His Not Receiving Intel on Beijing Threat to MPs

Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair says staff in his office and department aren’t to blame for not informing him of Beijing threats to MPs and has repeated that Canada’s spy agency is at fault.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) “had Top Secret information that they felt that I should see, and clearly, the process that they had in place to bring it to my attention was not complete, and did not bring it to my office’s attention and that’s now been remedied,” Mr. Blair said in a press conference in Ottawa on July 11.

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau’s policies are killing economic growth, report says

The Trudeau government is stifling Canada’s economic growth, leading to irreparable societal divisions unless the trend is reversed, warns Statistics Canada’s former chief economic analyst.

In an essay for the fiscally conservative Fraser Institute — “What is Behind Canada’s Growth Crisis?” — Philip Cross cites a recent report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development which “forecasts that Canada’s per capita GDP growth between 2020 and 2060 will be the lowest among its 29 member nations” without fundamental changes in government’s attitude to growth.

Justin Trudeau is a stupid hateful person.

Trudeau government increased federal employees 40% since election in 2015

OTTAWA — Another 21,000 federal workers hired since last year has brought the total added to the federal public service since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was first elected to 98,268, according to information published online by the Treasury Board of Canada.

The federal public service, now at 357,247 employees, is nearly 40 per cent larger than it was in 2015, when the Liberals took power, when it counted 257,034 employees.

Trudeau is creating a vote bloc.

Canada’s billions to Stellantis and Volkswagen make for a bad joke

There’s an old joke about corporatocracy that goes something like this: “Canada is a handful of companies in a trench coat.” If that one doesn’t have you howling in your seat, there’s an addendum: “That we subsidize.” Is it funny yet?

The latest iteration of the joke pertains to multinational automakers Volkswagen and Stellantis. In recent weeks, the latter threatened to pack up shop on its EV battery plant in Windsor, Ont. – and halted construction to drive home the point. That after the federal government and Ontario promised more than $13-billion in capital and tax credits to Volkswagen for a larger factory. As a result, both levels of government scrambled to strike a deal with Stellantis, which was revealed last week to be worth $15-billion.

We are lead by grifters & morons.

From Pride Month to Pride Season

An obviously aroused Justin Trudeau abandons decorum while prancing about at a Gay Pride event.

Last month, elites celebrated Pride across the West, but Trudeau’s commitment to the movement is second to none.

On June 8, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined other dignitaries on Parliament Hill for a formal raising of the ‘Pride’ flag, a solemn ceremony in which he promised yet more taxpayer money to the LGBT movement and insisted, once again, that the activists who own the country are facing a “rising tide of hate.” Last month, elites celebrated Pride across the West—the White House flew the LGBT flag alongside the Star and Stripes; in the UK, the Union Jack was taken down and replaced with the Pride flag—but Trudeau’s commitment to the movement is second to none. His government spent $108,594,964 in 2022 on ‘LGBTQ’ ideology in 2022 alone.

Foreign interference public inquiry agreement reached by all parties, Conservatives say

OTTAWA — The Conservatives said all parties agreed Friday on the scope for a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canada.

The agreement appeared to break the impasse between the governing Liberals and the Conservatives about how to proceed with negotiations to establish a probe into efforts of foreign governments to interfere in Canada’s elections and governance.

Canada’s secret service is fighting a hidden civil war

The smart money is on the spooks. They have the public on their side

The Canada of our allies’ imagination is a peaceable land of winter, hockey and exquisite politeness. The winter and the hockey haven’t changed. But peaceable and polite? Not since the civil war broke out.

This civil war doesn’t pit Quebec nationalists against English Canada, but centres instead on China. The two sides are a political elite that yearns for the days when China was an economic opportunity, and a national security community aware of Beijing’s ambition to deindustrialize the West economically and neuter it geostrategically.

Colby Cosh: CBC’s damning retraction of an unsubstantiated non-scandal in Alberta

CBC News cried “uncle” yesterday in its long-running quarrel with Alberta premier Danielle Smith, as you may have read in your National Post . In January, a story from the network claimed that some member of the new premier’s staff had sent emails directly to Crown prosecutors ordering them to let up on COVID rulebreakers. This created a nasty suspicion that the premier’s office was interfering directly in individual criminal prosecutions, and it rightly led to an investigation by the province’s ethics commissioner, Marguerite Trussler. In the meantime, the CBC stood stubbornly behind its story.

‘Massively expensive’: Canadian Taxpayers Federation takes aim at $15B deal for Windsor battery plant

The $15-billion agreement to keep an electric vehicle (EV) battery plant in Windsor, Ont., is “massively expensive for taxpayers,” says the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

“These big corporations are getting buckets of cash courtesy of cost to taxpayers while the rest of us get tax hikes,” said Franco Terrazzano, federal director for the Ottawa-based federation.

“We have governments that are choosing to help multinational corporations over taxpayers.”

Gwyn Morgan: Trudeau Liberals are gutting Canada’s economic well-being

Wildfires in Canada and unseasonably high temperatures in Europe are being blamed on climate change, escalating the perceived urgency to “do something” about carbon emissions. In Canada, it seems no volume of emissions is too small to worry about. B.C. taxpayers will soon be paying some $28 million to connect cruise ships docking in Victoria to electric shore power so diesel generators can be shut down. This must set a world record in terms of the cost per unit of avoided emissions.

We’re also on track to establish a coast-to-coast cost record on emissions reductions through ever-rising carbon taxes on motor fuel plus deliberate debilitation of the oil and gas industry — though it contributes the largest share of both GDP and export revenue of any industry.

‘It’s meaningless basically’: One-time grocery rebate gets underwhelming reception

The federal government’s grocery rebate kicks in this week, but the one-time payment is being criticized by some who feel it’s too little too late for those who’ve been pummeled by perpetually rising food prices.

“It’s just a one-time payment?” one person CityNews spoke to on Tuesday in Ottawa asked. “It’ll help me with groceries for one month. And then it’s back to … as if we didn’t have it.”

Canadians who earned less than $32,000 a year, and households that earned less than $38,000 on their 2021 tax return would qualify for the one-time payment.

Trudeau To Give Up To $15-billion Of Your Dollars To Corporate Welfare Cases Stellantis & LG In Dubious Battery Deal

Stellantis, LG reach new EV battery plant deal for up to $15-billion in subsidies from Ottawa, Ontario

Stellantis NV and LG Energy Solution have reached a new deal with the federal and Ontario governments for up to $15-billion in subsidies for their electric-vehicle battery factory in Windsor, bringing to an end a months-long saga in which the companies halted construction on the project while they pushed for greater subsidies.

The agreement was announced by Stellantis late on Wednesday through a press release, the timing of which appeared to catch the governments off guard. It was subsequently confirmed by Ottawa in a statement issued by Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.

Hara-Kiri Trudeau Style

Wildfires in Canada and unseasonably high temperatures in parts of Europe are being blamed on climate change, further escalating the frenzied sense of urgency propounded by governments, activist groups and the mainstream media to “do something” about carbon emissions. In Canada, it seems no volume of emissions is too small to worry about. B.C. taxpayers, for example, will be paying an estimated $25 million to connect cruise ships docking in Victoria to electric shore power so the ships’ diesel generators can be shut down. This is surely establishing a world record in the cost per unit of avoided emissions.

Speaking of world records, our country is on also on-track to establish a much larger cost record on emissions reductions – spanning the entire nation – through a combination of ever-rising carbon taxes on motor fuel and deliberate debilitation of the oil and natural gas industry, which contributes Canada’s largest share of both GDP and export revenue.
