Michael Taube: Leave it to Trudeau to destroy his party’s reputation on immigration

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s immigration plan is broken. His Liberal government may not have admitted it in so many words, but their recent actions speak quite clearly.

After steadily increasing the number of newcomers over the years, Ottawa has announced it will cap the number of permanent residents it accepts at 500,000 in both 2025 and 2026. It’s finally dawned on the Trudeau Liberals that there needs to be an economic reset. Canada’s housing market is too expensive and our health care system is overloaded — and the impact of costly temporary resident programs is too often overlooked .

Ottawa’s latest immigration plans fail to move the needle, on housing and in Quebec

Marc Miller – Got the job because he’ll say anything he’s told.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government this week took a baby step toward recognizing its immigration policy needs some fixing by halting future increases in the number of permanent newcomers the country intends to accept.

Still, Immigration Minister Marc Miller seemed to suggest that ”stabilizing” the number of new permanent residents at 500,000 constitutes a concession on his government’s part. Yet, under Mr. Miller’s plan, Canada is still on track to accept more new permanent residents next year (485,000) than it will absorb this year (465,000), or than it did last year (more than 437,000) before the number tops out at 500,000 in both 2025 and 2026.

Liberals go online to test messages attacking Poilievre’s record

The Liberal Party is beta-testing new videos attacking Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, one of which compares him to former U.S president Donald Trump.

The party confirms that a video it posted online earlier this week was its first to splice together footage of both Poilievre and Trump.

The Liberals’ video uses Polievre’s own recent viral apple-eating moment — when he got into a brusque exchange with a local journalist in B.C. — and attempts to show him taking a page out of Trump’s political playbook. The video shows Poilievre and Trump using similar language.

Trudeau Liberals lying about Immigration numbers

Time to address the immigration number that matters now

Don’t look too closely at the immigration targets the federal government set Wednesday. They’re not the numbers that matter right now.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller kept the already-planned target of 500,000 in 2025, but said there’d be no increase in 2026. But that isn’t Canada’s immigration number.

The figure that matters more is the 2.2 million in temporary residents who are in Canada. That number has surged for reasons that have nothing to do with immigration planning. And the Liberal government should be screwing up their courage to do something about that, right away.

Trudeau’s super-charged battery foolishness reaches new heights

Every week, it seems, we get another report revealing the deep thoughtlessness and fiscal recklessness of Ottawa’s electric car and electric-car battery fixation. For example, the Parliamentary Budget Officer recently asked how long it will take for the federal government to see a return on the $28.2 billion of production subsidies to EV battery-makers Stellantis and Volkswagen. The answer — about four times longer than the government originally claimed.

Canada’s public health agency lost $150 million on an unfulfilled contract last year. It won’t say why

OTTAWA — The Public Health Agency of Canada is refusing to disclose any information on how it lost $150 million in taxpayers’ money for an unfulfilled contract with an undisclosed vendor last year.

Who was the contract with? What was it for? And why did it go unfulfilled, leading to a loss of $150 million? Those are all questions the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has repeatedly refused to answer.

Rex Murphy: The carbon tax is dead. Trudeau did it in

Justin Trudeau came into office on the spume of Canadian-level celebrity, built on a persona of ostentatious, idle gestures and token cheer (selfies, socks, costumes), the endless vocalization of woke crackerjack-box slogans and a smile cemented in place that had all the warmth of well-gelled cement. Just style. Style, understood as the adoption of surface mannerisms in place of deeply settled convictions, convictions built on a real attempt to understand Canada, to relate to all its regions, and an appreciation (which does not mean agreement) of the ideas, lifestyles and situations of mainstream Canadians: style adopted as a campaign dynamic.

Canada’s housing affordability sees significant ‘deterioration,’ report says

Housing affordability saw a “considerable deterioration” in Canada in the third quarter of 2023, according to a new report from the National Bank of Canada.

The report, which comes after improvements over three consecutive quarters, shows that many homeowners are struggling and others feeling unsure they’ll ever break into the housing market.

John Ivison: Knives out for Trudeau’s fatally injured carbon tax

“With this amendment we can at least draw a line,” Quebec Senator Pierre Dalphond told the Senate’s agriculture and forestry committee.

Just one week before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he planned to exempt home heating oil from the carbon tax, in a desperate bid to curry favour with voters in Atlantic Canada, the committee was dealing with another proposed carve out.

Trudeau’s Atlantic carbon tax exemption may be a fatal miscalculation

The federal Liberals have undermined their highest environmental priority, the carbon tax, because they simply cannot afford to lose their Atlantic base.

For three decades, voters in the Maritimes and in Newfoundland and Labrador have mostly stood by the Liberal Party. One important exception came in 1996, when prime minister Jean Chrétien’s government tightened eligibility requirements for unemployment insurance – a vital social program for the region’s seasonal economy. Atlantic voters hammered the Liberals in the following election, costing them 20 seats.

Trudeau government freezes immigration targets, plans for 500,000 permanent residents in 2026

Ottawa has frozen its targets for the number of permanent residents it will welcome to Canada, saying it plans to leave the number admitted to Canada in 2026 at 500,000.

It has also stuck with its target of 485,000 permanent residents for 2024 and said it plans to take action over the next year to recalibrate the number of temporary resident admissions to ensure the amount is sustainable.

The decision not to further increase numbers follows a sharp drop in public support for immigration over the past year, according to recent polling, as Canadians increasingly associate affordability and housing concerns with an influx of newcomers.

This is garbage. Nothing will improve.

Liberal stalwart calls for new party leader, predicts Trudeau will decide soon whether to quit

A Liberal stalwart and a former prime minister’s chief of staff is calling on the party to find a new leader to replace Justin Trudeau.

In a blunt and at times stinging opinon piece for National Newswatch published Wednesday, Sen. Percy Downe wrote that the party should replace Trudeau as Liberal leader before the next election.

“The prudent course of action is for another Liberal Leader to rise from the impressive Liberal caucus and safeguard those policies (Trudeau) was actually able to accomplish,” wrote Downe, who was prime minister Jean Chrétien’s chief of staff and served in many other senior positions.

Too many issues, affordability, housing shortage, bad immigration policy, carbon tax scam, corruption, lack of ethics, etc etc etc…

Jamie Sarkonak: Carbon tax punishes provinces that don’t vote for Trudeau

How can you minimize your exposure to the burdensome carbon tax? Stop driving the car you need to get to work, eat less and — as of last week — move to a region that’s key to the Liberals’ electoral success.

Last Thursday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a three-year pause on the carbon tax for home heating oil. Technically, the pause applies to all Canadians, but in practice, it’s really just Atlantic Canada that stands to benefit, since it’s the only region where this particular fuel is used to a significant degree.

‘Outright incompetence’: Whistleblowers secretly recorded civil servant slamming Trudeau green fund

Doug McConnachie laid out his unvarnished thoughts on Aug. 25, unaware his words were being caught on tape.

Commenting on a fact-finding report he’d just received, the assistant deputy minister at Innovation came down hard on the senior leadership of Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), a foundation in the middle of a five-year, billion-dollar funding deal with Ottawa.

“There’s a lot of sloppiness and laziness. There is some outright incompetence and, you know, the situation is just kind of untenable at this point,” he said.

Joe Oliver: For the good of Canada, Justin Trudeau should go

Trudeau’s incompetent, divisive and ethically challenged leadership has been egregious

“You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go.” That devastating plea has been uttered on three different occasions in the British House of Commons, most notably directed at Neville Chamberlain after Germany’s invasion of Norway. It reflected an exasperation about appalling failures that forfeited any moral right to stay in elected office.
