Louise Arbour is in The Club — you are not

Louise Arbour is in The Club — you are not

Mark Carney has named Louise Arbour as Canada’s 31st Governor General. She is 79 years old, a former Supreme Court justice, a former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and a former chief prosecutor of international war crimes tribunals. She is bilingual, a Montrealer, credentialed beyond argument, and the most ideologically loaded appointment to Rideau Hall in living memory.


Arbour’s appointment is meant to be an insult.

Her toxic luxury beliefs and distaste for white people made her an ideal choice as the Royal Parasite in residence.

Will we  see a repeat performance of the Antisemitism Tsar’s tenure, a woman whose bubble was burst when she found out no one was buying the con her class has long propagated to keep the rest of us in line? That no one was going to rally to the defense of a government that has busied itself importing our death cult replacements and continues to abuse immigration policy for political and personal gain?

Arbour peddles the same globalist tripe on immigration, multiculturalism and diversity.

She is a dinosaur calling the comet racist.

BARCLAY: ‘Not American’ is now the sum total of Canada’s national identity

OTTAWA — Recently, Prime Minister Carney has publicly attacked and imploded every aspect of Canada’s historic relationship with the United States of America.

Unfortunately, Mark Carney’s incipient anti-American persona is a paradigm that the Liberal era has imposed upon all of Canada, and not merely the latest outpouring of Carney’s own personal vanity.

Liberals test public support for CBC funding cuts as internal polling backs spending restraint

Liberals test public support for CBC funding cuts as internal polling backs spending restraint

Federal officials quietly tested public appetite for cutting funding to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and other Crown corporations, with internal focus group research showing Canadians are open to reductions as Ottawa looks for ways to rein in spending.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the research, commissioned by the Privy Council Office and conducted by The Strategic Counsel under a $1.6 million contract, found participants frequently pointed to Crown corporations like the CBC and Canada Post as areas where the federal government could scale back expenditures.


Bet the polling will mysteriously experience a sea-change.

Jamie Sarkonak: Canada — the medical resort of the developing world

Jamie Sarkonak: Canada — the medical resort of the developing world

Medical tourism in the West is considered a luxury: you travel to a place with top-of-the-line doctors who can be seen faster than you’d ever expect at home, undertake a battery of tests more thorough than what’s generally done at home, and receive an assessment more all-encompassing than, again, would be expected at home.

Louise Arbour a partisan pick and wrong choice for Canada’s Governor General

Louise Arbour a partisan pick and wrong choice for Canada’s Governor General

For a position that is supposed to be non-partisan and represent all Canadians, Louise Arbour was exactly the wrong pick to become Canada’s next Governor General. That’s not on Madame Arbour, who I hope serves with grace and dignity while in the job. Botching the pick is completely on Prime Minister Mark Carney.

When Arbour’s name was first floated in the media, I doubted the reports, thinking there was no way that Carney and his team would be so foolish as to make such a political, partisan pick.

Not many approve …

Defence spending plan will send federal budget deficit soaring, watchdog warns

Defence spending plan will send federal budget deficit soaring, watchdog warns

OTTAWA — Achieving Canada’s long-term goal for defence spending would add $63 billion to the federal budget deficit by 2035 — almost double this year’s projected shortfall, Parliament’s budget watchdog says, suggesting the military rearmament drive will add pressure to the government’s currently “sustainable” fiscal blueprint.

The estimate was included in a series of reports published Monday by Parliamentary Budget Officer Annette Ryan that highlight a lack of detail on major initiatives following the Liberal government’s spring economic update last week. While the PBO concluded that current and growing debt levels are sustainable in the long term, the government hasn’t yet included all of the promised cash for defence in its spending projections, according to one of Monday’s reports.

After a decade in power useless layabouts in Ottawa to start tracking which if any temporary foreign residents have left Canada after permits run out

After a decade in power useless layabouts in Ottawa to start tracking which if any temporary foreign residents have left Canada after permits run out

Ottawa is for the first time to track which foreign students and other temporary foreign residents have left the country after their permits to remain in Canada expire, Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab told a committee of MPs on Monday.

Economists have been warning for years that Canada has been dramatically undercounting the number of temporary residents living here by presuming that international students and others leave the country after their permits and visas run out.

There’s a pattern here. Carney puts extremely stupid people in charge of important portfolios knowing they will outright lie if needed. They simply lack the dignity to admit they’re in over their heads.

Carney Pulls Canada Closer to Europe as Both Struggle With Trump

Carney Pulls Canada Closer to Europe as Both Struggle With Trump

Canada and the European Union are turning commiseration and anxiety over their turbulent relationships with the United States under President Trump into a deepening bond.

On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada joined a summit of European leaders in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, putting his country at the heart of some of Europe’s biggest priorities. He was the first non-European head of government to be invited to the gathering, known as the European Political Community summit.

Mr. Carney’s relentless pursuit of new, expanded alliances to lessen Canada’s dependence on the United States coming as Mr. Trump threatens to unravel decades of economic integration, has effectively led Canada to be welcomed as something of an honorary European Union member.

What Happens When Europeans Find Out How Poor They Are?

Do Europeans understand how poor they are? And what will happen when they find out? Those are the Continent’s big political-economy questions for the next few years—perhaps decades.

The widening gap between American and European prosperity is among the most important facts of the global economy. The clearest manifestation is the chasm in per capita gross domestic product: $94,400 in the U.S., according to the International Monetary Fund, compared with $65,300 in Germany, $61,000 in the U.K. and $52,000 in France.

While America’s prosperity advantage isn’t new, today’s scale is. From a fairly narrow edge throughout the 1980s, the gap widened a bit in the 1990s. Since 2007, however, European per capita incomes have more or less stagnated while the U.S. has enjoyed another growth spurt.

Ottawa breaks ground on long-delayed Afghanistan memorial after bitter design fight

The federal government officially broke ground Monday in Ottawa on a national memorial to the sacrifice of Canadians during more than a dozen years of war in Afghanistan.

The monument, which has a controversial design history, will be located on LeBreton Flats in the national capital, near the Canadian War Museum.

It is intended to recognize the contributions of those who served in Afghanistan and those who supported them.

The contest is nearly over to provide Canada’s next submarines

OTTAWA — Often below the surface, at times breaching into view, a high-stakes contest for a military mega-contract to build and sell modern submarines to the Canadian navy is coming into port.

With a flurry of deals that promise to beef up Canadian industry and advance Prime Minister Mark Carney’s economic goals, the two defence giants vying for the lucrative bid — one from South Korea, the other part of a German-Norwegian partnership — prepared their final pitches last week, after the new federal Defence Investment Agency gave them more time to sweeten their proposals.

Europe will not submit to an ‘insular and brutal world’, says Carney

Europe will not submit to a more “brutal world”, and can instead be the base from which a new international order can be rebuilt, Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister, has said.

Carney was speaking as the first non-European leader to attend a meeting of the European Political Community, which opened on Monday amid high tensions in the strait of Hormuz and renewed doubts about the US commitment to Nato.

“We don’t think that we’re destined to submit to a more transactional, insular and brutal world, and gatherings such as these point to a better way forward,” he said.

House of Commons officials are keeping detailed internal records on what Canadians say about their elected representatives online, including comments posted to social media, according to testimony at a parliamentary committee.

Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Mellon told MPs the Commons maintains what he described as a “very robust records management system” that catalogues incidents involving members of Parliament, including online remarks that may be critical or offensive.
