At least six current superior court justices may have paid to meet with the prime minister or the deputy prime minister at Liberal Party fundraisers shortly before being appointed.
These findings come in the wake of an earlier analysis by the National Post and the Investigative Journalism Foundation (IJF), which found that over three times as many Liberal party donors have been appointed to judicial office than Conservative donors since 2016.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claims he’s “making life more affordable” but his own government agencies continue to prove his carbon tax makes life more expensive.
“Nova Scotians saw prices at the pump increase by 14% in July compared with June,” Statistics Canada reported . “The introduction of the federal carbon levy in the province and higher wholesale prices contributed to higher gasoline prices.”
It’s not just Statistics Canada. Canada Revenue Agency shows the carbon tax currently increases the price of gasoline by 14¢ per litre, the price of diesel and home heating oil by 17¢ per litre and the price of natural gas by 12¢ per cubic metre.
OTTAWA – Femi Biobaku came to Canada more than a year ago fleeing persecution from the Nigerian authorities, forcing him to leave his wife, two children, community and job as an accountant back home.
He landed in Ottawa in July 2022 and stayed with a host family for nearly a month before moving into a dorm at the Ottawa Mission homeless shelter, where things took a turn for the worse.
While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rags the puck on holding a public inquiry on China’s interference into Canadian democracy, which he’s never wanted, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault is in China seeking its cooperation on climate change.
Guilbeault’s trip isn’t surprising – U.S. climate envoy John Kerry was in Beijing last month seeking the same thing – nor will it will result in any breakthroughs.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged this week that: “It’s not an easy time to be a politician.” He wasn’t referring to fears for his — and others’ — safety, rather he was responding to the backlash he and his government have received from Canadians angry with the Liberals’ outlook, their actions, or lack of actions, on several files.
Some of that outrage is misplaced, spurred by misinformation and opposition rhetoric. This month, in P.E.I., for example, I got an earful from a taxi driver in Montague, upset with Trudeau for “wanting to take all our guns away” and “funding wars overseas” (wars in plural).
I just returned home from a vacation to Florence with my wife and son. At the tail-end of this wonderful trip, I caught wind that a federal minister in Canada had received a $273 speeding ticket. A quick search on my iPhone revealed that the minister in question was Chrystia Freeland.
This week, Vancouver’s Fraser Institute put out tables showing the median employment income in the 141 largest cities in North America.
The highest-ranked Canadian city is Ottawa because bureaucrats have higher incomes on average than private-sector workers. Still, our nation’s capital was only 53rd best on the continent.
But mass immigration doesn’t depress wages! Justin said so!
Canada should follow US lead in decoupling from China, says business professor
The global economy has been waiting for China’s post-COVID economic boom, but that has not materialized. And the opposite could well be playing out, with analysts saying Canada has yet another reminder to wean itself off China.
At issue is China’s bloated property market, which by some estimates makes up over 25 percent of China’s economy. At risk are commodity prices, which had been given a long-term boost from China’s overbuilding of real estate.
Decouple from China? It won’t happen.
The sole purpose of the Liberal Party is to ensure that our China Class is able to enrich themselves at the ChiCom trough.
In return the LPC and friends surrender our nation’s sovereignty to their ChiCom masters.
Canada’s environment minister travels to China today to attend diplomatic meetings with an international group that advises Beijing on climate change — and he’s ignoring opposition calls for him to quit the group and call out China over human rights abuses and alleged interference in Canadian elections.
Steven Guilbeault is attending the annual general meeting of the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED), along with representatives of the United Nations, from Aug. 28 to 30 in Beijing.
In an interview with CBC News before his departure, Guilbeault stopped short of committing to bringing up China’s interference in Canadian democracy and its human rights record during his trip.
Give credit to to the ChiComs they own the Liberal Party. No other nation runs cover for China’s greenscam better than Canada thanks to the Liberal party.
The polling numbers for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continue to look worse, and some experts think he may soon hit a point where he has to seriously consider his future.
The latest Abacus Data survey has his Liberal Party trailing the Conservatives by 12 points, with 56 per cent of respondents saying it’s time for the prime minister to step down.
“You don’t want to be the guy that turned the whole thing into a failure,” Barry McLoughlin, president of TLC Transformational Leadership Consultants Inc., said.
The housing crisis in Canada is getting desperate. Prices for purchases and rentals are skyrocketing across the country and it’s becoming a hot political issue. Young people and citizens on fixed incomes are particularly vulnerable as the cost of living rises. As counterintuitive as it may sound, the Liberal government may be considering imposing an equity tax on primary residences to deal with housing costs.
Nothing shows your commitment to climate change like jetting across the country and lecturing others.
Once again, that’s what Justin Trudeau is doing as he flies from Ottawa to Charlottetown and back, then on to Vancouver for a brief stop at an environmental conference before heading to two fundraisers.
If you enjoy howlingly awkward human theatre – and who among us is above such delights? – watching a late-stage government try to gnaw its way out of the bear trap of its own incumbency is spectacular entertainment.
This was on glorious display this week in Charlottetown, where the newly shuffled federal cabinet gathered for a retreat before the House of Commons resumes in mid-September.
A light bulb has finally come on in Justin Trudeau’s cabinet. Dim though that bulb may be, it has sufficient power to illuminate a glaring weakness in how Ontario funds post-secondary education.
Sean Fraser, the new federal housing minister, offered the opinion this week that the 807,260 international students in Canada are putting pressure on the Canadian housing market. That’s not terribly surprising, since the number of international students has more than doubled since the Liberals took power. It’s also a problem that Fraser failed to address when he was immigration minister.
While it’s gratifying to see the federal Liberals tentatively identifying a link between the number of people flowing into the country and the shortage of housing, it’s Ontario Premier Doug Ford who really has to wake up.
The foreign student scam is harming Canadian citizens.
Are our politicians so dim they didn’t see that coming or are they just malevolent destroyers?
We need to close a lot of these woke universities. They are toxic.
OTTAWA — Most Canadians — and many past Liberal supporters — think Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should resign instead of leading his party into the next federal election, a new poll suggests.
Fifty-six per cent of respondents to the latest national survey from Abacus Data said Trudeau “should step down” when asked if he should run for office again. That’s compared with 27 per cent who said Trudeau should stay, and 17 per cent who were not sure.
Junior is losing the Star? Maybe they realize what a cockup he has made with his war on Google and FB.
