Justin Trudeau’s government is in trouble and needs a major change. Here are 4 things he could do

It is bad news for Justin Trudeau’s government that a majority of Canadians are looking for change, as Abacus Data reported this week.

It is also bad news that in Ottawa, even among some loyal Liberals, there is growing discussion about a need for change — a reset, on a fairly major scale.

Trudeau and his team would be wise to pay attention to this clamour for change, inside and outside Parliament. To borrow from that old saying from Mahatma Gandhi, this is a government that needs to be the change that people are seeking.

Trudeau is incapable of change, he believes what his mirror tells him and it is a bigger liar than he is.

National security in shambles under Justin Trudeau

After several months of the Trudeau government’s stonewalling and a series of transparently brazen attempts to draw the curtains down on the clandestine operations Beijing put in motion to the Liberals’ advantage during the 2019 and 2021 federal elections, some good news. It came Tuesday during RCMP commissioner Michael Duheme’s testimony before the House of Commons committee on procedure and house affairs.

Ottawa’s Promise to Plant 2 Billion Trees Not ‘Realistic’: Environment Commissioner

Environment Commissioner Jerry DeMarco said on June 13 that the Liberal government needs to implement more “realistic” initiatives, saying the 2019 promise of planting two billion trees can not be done without the provinces’ participation.

“They need to concentrate much more on results,” DeMarco testified at the House of Commons natural resources committee. “This is a theme of a lot of our reports: They have to be realistic with their programs.”

The whole Green-Scam is a lie.

Liberals to find themselves faultless in review of Canada’s China Class Grift with ChiCom led development bank

Ottawa launching review of Canada’s membership in China-led development bank

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says Ottawa is launching a review of Canada’s membership in the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank as well as allegations raised by a former bank staffer who accused it of being “dominated by the Communist Party.”

Bob Pickard, the Canadian who was global communications director for the bank, resigned Tuesday from the institution, decrying what he called its “toxic culture” and urging Canada to withdraw from this “People’s Republic of China instrument”.

WHAT A GREAT GRIFT IDEA! LET’S PARTNER WITH A COMMUNST SLAVE STATE!

Ottawa’s deal to lure VW will cost $16.3B — $3B more than publicly announced, estimates show

OTTAWA—The deal to lure Volkswagen’s giant electric vehicle battery plant to Canada will cost the federal treasury $16.3 billion, the Parliamentary Budget Office estimates.

In a new report released Wednesday, the PBO says that over the life of the agreement — which promises to match U.S.-style subsidies until 2033 — the cost to land the German carmaker’s “gigafactory” in St. Thomas will likely be $3 billion more than Ottawa has publicly announced.


They just lie and lie and lie …

Chrystia Freeland disputes report VW deal will cost $16.3B — $3B more than publicly announced

… But it could cost more than expected because in order to level the playing field with the U.S. — as the federal Liberals have promised — Ottawa would have to give VW tax breaks on future corporate income taxes, which it calculates at another $2.8 billion.

That’s because Canada’s income tax law “stipulates that any amount of money received by a business from a government in the form of a contribution, grant, or subsidy is included in the consideration of income if that amount has not been deducted from the capital cost of property acquired … and is therefore subject to applicable corporate income taxes,” the PBO said.

As We Dither Over a Public Inquiry, Beijing Continues Its Subterfuge in Canada

Canada is not that big a deal on the world stage.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a proud, loyal Canadian and love my country. It is just that we don’t really matter that much on the global scene. Our economy is the 10th largest in the world, which isn’t bad but could be better. When it comes to population we rank 39th. Defence? We come in at 20th out of NATO’s 31 members. Meh.

Access-to-information system has suffered ‘steady decline’ under Trudeau government: watchdog

OTTAWA — The federal government’s key transparency provision has steadily eroded to the point where it no longer serves its intended purpose, says information commissioner Caroline Maynard.

In her annual report to Parliament tabled Tuesday, Maynard said chronic issues continue to plague the access-to-information system, with no solutions in sight.

For a $5 fee, Canadians can use the access law to request federal records, from briefing notes and reports to emails and invoices.

Pierre Poilievre calls for public safety minister to resign over Bernardo prison revelations

Nobody tells him nothin

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday that Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino should resign over his handling of convicted killer Paul Bernardo’s controversial prison transfer.

CBC News reported Tuesday that Mendicino’s office knew for months that one of Canada’s most high-profile murderers would be moved by Correctional Service Canada (CSC) to a medium-security institution.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Why Trudeau calling parents ‘far right’ monsters is dangerous

They say everyone has a “tell” — and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a big one. You know his political future is flashing before his eyes when he starts accusing broad swaths of the Canadian population of being deplorable, reactionary monsters.

He did so throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, ramped up his rhetoric during the 44th federal election and was ultimately rebuked by Ontario Justice Paul Rouleau in the Emergencies Act report for “further embittering” Freedom Convoy protesters with inflammatory name-calling.

Liberals …

CSIS intended for Blair to read memo on Chong, director says

CSIS director David Vigneault said the spy agency deliberately sent a May, 2021, note warning about China’s targeting of a Conservative MP and his relatives to then-public safety minister Bill Blair’s office and intended for this information to reach the minister because it was considered of high importance.

The testimony from the head of CSIS appeared to be an effort to defend the spy agency as a Commons committee probes why Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong wasn’t warned of the 2021 intelligence collected by CSIS for two years.

A Liberal Cabinet Minister lying! Unheard of.

Tom Mulcair: Will Justin Trudeau decide to stick around?

Now that David Johnston has stepped down, the serious work of putting in place a commission of inquiry can begin.

Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc embarrassed himself by saying the Liberals were never opposed to a public inquiry. But at this stage, who cares?

The important thing is that Canadians will finally have a chance to know what really happened with Chinese government interference in our elections.

He’s a delusional wee tyrant, far too much the narcissist to ever consider stepping down.

John Robson: With Johnston Gone, We Need a Real Public Inquiry With Teeth

So it looks like there’s going to be a public inquiry into Chinese communist meddling in our elections after all. At least Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc is hinting as much. Who saw that one coming?

Not David Johnston, evidently. He finally stepped down from his untenable position, which I greet with the same grace he exhibited in announcing it. Namely in resigning as depressingly ordinary rapporteur he blamed “the highly partisan atmosphere around my appointment and work,” not the real conflict of interest that made him unsuitable from the word go and the shabby initial report that made his position untenable.

The David Johnston mess is Justin Trudeau’s responsibility

It was the right decision for David Johnston to resign from whatever his job was, whoever’s decision it was.

Still, amongst the things for which there will have to be a reckoning when this is all over is why he was appointed in the first place. Mr. Johnston himself never seemed to understand what he had walked into or why he should not have walked into it – to the last, in his letter of resignation, he put the opposition down to the “highly partisan atmosphere” – but the Prime Minister and his people did. They appointed him not in spite of his unsuitability, but because of it.

Michael Higgins: Justin Trudeau dismisses parental rights as ‘far right’

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

Parental rights are now a “far right” political issue, according to Justin Trudeau.

It may be that the prime minister didn’t mean to disparage millions of parents by lumping them in with other far-right radicals like white supremacists and fascists, but that he did so speaks to his tendency to shoot from the lip.
