Governor General Mary Simon doesn’t seem to give a damn about taxpayers’ dollars. Since becoming the King’s representative in Canada nearly two years ago, Simon has run up several staggering bills for which ordinary Canadians have had to pay.
Last time she was discussing “World Peace” this time she was saving the world from “Global warming.” You need a lot of luxury to accomplish that stuff.
A Canadian former executive at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is criticizing Canada’s membership in the institution, saying it’s inconsistent with Canadian values.
“I didn’t find a single, tangible benefit to communicate back home here to Canada of what this bank does that is consistent with our values in a way that would benefit Canadians,” Bob Pickard, who resigned from the AIIB last week, told Power & Politics host David Cochrane in an interview Monday.
Smells like another China Class Grift.
A journalist whose reporting helped raise concerns about possible Chinese meddling in Canadian democracy told a committee of MPs on June 20 that he stands by his work.
Sam Cooper, who recently left Global News to start his own online news site, told MPs that other countries, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, have faced similar disclosures about Chinese attempts to influence elections, and have followed up with laws designed to counter foreign interference.
But in Canada, said Cooper, that has not happened.
The title of the act is a lie. It is not about sustaining jobs. It is about killing jobs
Is it that they don’t know better? Or they simply do not care? It has to be both.
The most arrogant, blundering government in modern times is fixated on devastating the most essential industry Canada has; on stopping the production of the most essential resource of the modern world. The resource that makes the world work: energy.
On the bright side, there was no sign of Chinese interference.
Voters in four byelections delivered status quo results on Monday that show, if you squint hard enough, that the severely tainted Liberal brand has staying power while the Conservatives aren’t resurging enough to threaten as a majority-government-in-waiting.
So now, with the summer solstice dawning Wednesday, it is time for party leaders to adjourn into the real world to listen more and talk less, the better to figure out why voters may desire prime ministerial change but not enough to embrace the opposition alternative.
Of the 7,141 cases where security screeners sent IRCC a ‘non-favourable’ recommendation during the years covered by the audit, 3,314 were allowed into Canada
OTTAWA – Nearly half of foreign nationals flagged by security agencies to the Immigration Department for ties to serious offences including war crimes, espionage and terrorism were allowed to take up residency in Canada between 2014 and 2019.
An internal audit of the Immigration National Security Screening Program found that immigration officials ultimately approved temporary or permanent residency, or refugee applications for 46 per cent of the more than 7,000 cases where the Canadian Border Security Agency (CBSA) recommended against applicants being allowed into the country.
It’s without question one of the darkest episodes in Canada’s modern history.
For 24 years starting in 1923, the Canada Immigration Act barred almost any Chinese person from migrating to this country, an ugly extension of the earlier “White Canada” policy and a response to widespread fear of what some called the “yellow peril.”
Justin Trudeau will be remembered for his ‘leadership’ — not ‘the trash and the rumours,’ Brian Mulroney says
OTTAWA — It wasn’t the flattering words, but the bitter context, that made Brian Mulroney’s introduction of Justin Trudeau on Monday night an extraordinary political moment.
Far from Parliament Hill, in Nova Scotia the former Progressive Conservative prime minister hailed Trudeau for his “leadership” of Canada through repeated crises, saying that’s what history will remember, not “trivia and the trash and the rumours that make the rounds” in Ottawa.
Mulroney: nothing wrong accepting envelopes of $1,000 bills
OTTAWA – Former prime minister Brian Mulroney cited the brazen public nature of his cash transactions with Karlheinz Schreiber as evidence today that there was nothing untoward in their business arrangement.
Mulroney told a public inquiry that he accepted an envelope stuffed with 75 one-thousand-dollar bills from Schreiber at a hotel at Montreal’s Mirabel Airport and then climbed into a car with his RCMP escort with the envelope in full view.
Grifters or what?

The Conservative Party says the Liberal government’s recently introduced Sustainable Jobs Act will “kill thousands of jobs” across Canada as it aims to move oil- and gas-sector workers into green-energy jobs over the coming years.
Conservative MP and natural resources critic Shannon Stubbs said in a statement on June 19 that the proposed Bill C-50—which has been referred to as the federal “just transition” legislation—is a “job-killing plan” that will displace “450,000 direct and indirect jobs” across the country.
It is in America’s interest to find out the salacious details of foreign interference in democratic elections, especially when it occurs in our northern neighbor.
Unless its wildfires cause the skies in New York City to turn the color of a sci-fi dystopia, Americans tend not to think much about Canada. But you know who has not forgotten about our neighbor to the north? China’s ruler, Xi Jinping.
As part of China’s unfriendly competition with the West, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) chairman appears to have overseen a far-reaching and complicated effort to advance Beijing’s interests through direct interference in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
OTTAWA – Today, Democracy Watch released the response it received recently to its Access to Information Act (ATIA) filed with the RCMP on July 27, 2022. The RCMP’s response letter, dated May 25, 2023, confirms it is investigating the allegation that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, former Finance Minister Bill Morneau, some members of their staff, and former Clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick, obstructed justice by pressuring then-Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to stop the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin in 2018.
The RCMP was repurposed to protect the LPC. No one will be charged.

McKinsey pitched Purdue Pharma Canada on plan to boost opioid sales in 2014, memo reveals
Global consulting giant McKinsey & Co., under the leadership of Dominic Barton, pitched Purdue Pharma (Canada) in 2014 on how it could more aggressively market and boost sales of OxyContin and other highly addictive opioids to Canadians, according to a confidential memo obtained by The Globe and Mail.
McKinsey & Co. is facing a class-action lawsuit from the B.C. government, which Ottawa plans to join, that accuses the firm of engaging in reckless marketing campaigns to boost opioid sales, placing the Liberal government at odds with a company it has relied on for more than $100-million in contract work since 2015.
Barton is the same sociopath behind Trudeau’s mass immigration scam, he was a founding member of Century 100 and is also a China Class 5th columinist.
Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole says as more reports of alleged foreign interference have surfaced, including ones involving himself, the Liberals and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have not done enough to “safeguard” democracy.
That’s because Trudeau and the Liberals work for the CCP.
Ottawa’s favourite game show – gong show, some might say – is about to begin. And now, here he is, your host for the evening, Justin Trudeau.
“Good evening everyone and welcome to Name That Minister. Let’s see if our panel can guess their identity.
“Who said that he was shocked that serial killer Paul Bernardo was being transferred from maximum to medium-security detention, though his office knew in advance?”
OTTAWA—Liberal Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino does not like to lose — or be thought of as a loser.
That much was clear when at the centre of jokes at a dinner last weekend about being shuffled out of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, he mock-charged the stage to defend his honour.
