2017 memo prepared for PM warns of Beijing election interference

National security officials drafted a warning for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his office more than a year before the 2019 federal election, alleging that Chinese agents were “assisting Canadian candidates running for political offices,” according to a Privy Council Office document reviewed by Global News.

Written by the office of National Security and Intelligence Advisor, Daniel Jean, at the request of Trudeau’s chief of staff — and arguably his most trusted aide — Katie Telford, the document called “Memorandum for the Prime Minister” was also provided to Privy Council Office clerk Michael Wernick, records show.

GUNTER: Poll reveals dark mood of Canadians

It’s a little surprising that 67% of Canadians polled by Leger for the National Post agree with the statement, “It feels like everything is broken in this country right now.”

That’s a variation on the common poll question, “Is the country headed in the wrong direction?” and I have seldom seen a negative answer so high.

Trudeau’s climate-spending tab excludes costs you’ll pay

As a general rule of common sense and decency, if you’re going to spend more than $120 billion of other people’s money, you best be sure it’s a good idea. Unfortunately, the Trudeau government seems unaware of this rule.

Liberals concerned about offending foreign interests desiring to undermine Canadian security

Former Canadian envoys to China urge Ottawa to launch foreign agent registry

OTTAWA – Two of Canada’s former envoys to China say Ottawa is enabling foreign interference on Canadian soil by not launching a registry to track those acting on behalf of other countries.

The Liberals have promised to eventually launch consultations on a foreign agent registry, which would require people to publicly report when they are doing paid work on behalf of another state, under threat of fines or jail time.

But Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino warned on Monday that such a database must be carefully considered, as it could stigmatize communities who have felt targeted by security agencies in the past.

Time for a change?

Nienhuis: Assisted dying for the mentally ill should be cancelled altogether — not merely delayed

When the Senate, an unelected body, introduced a clause into its Medical Assistance in Dying legislation (MAiD) that added mental illness as a qualifying factor, it showed a deep disconnect from the people of Canada and a lack of care for those who suffer from mental illness. Since then, psychiatrists, psychologists and thousands of Canadians have called for a stop to this madness. It seems the federal government is finally listening.

Diane Francis: Can Canada’s welfare state survive Trudeau’s immigration targets?

Seven years of foolish Liberal immigration policy is cratering housing, health care and the middle class in the country’s two largest cities, Toronto and Vancouver. A new report by CIBC Capital Markets reveals that the overly rapid immigration problem is much more serious than most people realized.

… Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is reducing the living standards of Canadians while at the same time attacking the country’s economic base and resource industries.

More than one third of Toronto’s condos are owned by investors, new StatCan report finds

A whopping 36 per cent of the condos in Toronto are owned by investors, according to a new report published by Statistics Canada via the Canadian Housing Statistics Program.

In some smaller markets, investors account for well over 80 per cent of condo ownership, and across Ontario overall, almost 42 per cent are owned by investors.

The report defines an investor as someone who owns at least one residential property that is not used as their primary place of residence. The data is pulled from early 2020, before the pandemic feeding frenzy hit and prices shot up by more than 50 per cent across the country as interest rates reached historic lows.

This is the result of Trudeau’s immigration policy. Immigrants park their money here to make a profit consequently driving up home prices and making Canada too expensive for Canadians to live in. Then they move on, that’s all they contribute. See Below.

Rex Murphy: Trudeau’s wokeism is a dismissal of everything that counts

So now we have, at least for the time being, a state-sponsored “representative” to combat Islamophobia.

I say for the time being only because there are concerted mutterings out of Quebec that the advocate-activist so appointed is an ill choice. And as all know Justin Trudeau has an eagle’s eye for alarms coming out of his home province.

John Ivison: Liberals could freeze beer taxes and show Canadians they actually care

It’s a risky business for any government to be out of touch because survival depends on being in touch.

That was why last week’s Abacus Data poll was so striking — it suggested that 72 per cent of voters feel the Trudeau government is not focused enough on the cost of living crisis. Half of current Liberal voters feel the same way, the poll suggested. The numbers were comparable for other issues that are preoccupying Canadians like housing and health care.

Ottawa Didn’t Disclose China’s Spy Balloon Because There Were ‘Lives at Stake,’ Minister Says

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says Ottawa didn’t tell the public about China’s spy balloon that was spotted over North America because there were “lives at stake.”

“There are lives at stake. There are techniques at stake. This is complex stuff,” Mendicino told the Canada-China House of Commons committee on Feb. 6.

Why is the government spending $21-million advertising on social media such as TikTok?

When the U.S. Senate passed a bill in December to restrict the use of TikTok on government-issued devices, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau noted that “we are watching what the Americans are doing.” But the government does more than just watch – it spent $21-million advertising on the likes of TikTok last year.

As we scroll these days, we may notice a government-promoted post, which means that we as taxpayers have paid to post information on a platform and push it into people’s feeds. The $21-million spent last year is at the crest of a steady increase over the years, up from $7.8-million in 2017. On TikTok specifically, the Government of Canada spent $1.7-million on ads last year, up 128 per cent from the previous year.

Canada’s push to decriminalize drugs will be a disaster

Overdose deaths continue to rise in Vancouver, the epicenter of Canada’s addiction crisis, as barriers to drug use are demolished. After British Columbia’s decriminalization experiment came into effect, the province’s center-right Liberal Party pledged that, should they be elected, they will invest $1.5 billion into Portuguese-inspired rehabilitation-oriented treatment. This would be a significant improvement over British Columbia’s current farce. Earlier this week, the Canadian province of British Columbia decriminalized the possession of small amounts of hard drugs, such as cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl.

Jamie Sarkonak: Liberal-funded ‘misinformation’ study itself full of misinformation

If someone told you that that misinformation killed 2,800 Canadians based on a single opinion poll by Abacus Data, would you believe them? I would have a hard time buying it.

Last week, a report by the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) made the brash claim that misinformation killed 2,800 Canadians during nine months of the COVID-19 pandemic. The model behind this figure assumed that belief in misinformation caused most cases of non-vaccination. It was too simplistic to be useful, but that didn’t really matter — the feds produced yet another expert-backed report that connected the word “misinformation” with death and fear that would stoke hysteria in the press .

Gee a Liberal funded “academy” writes a report favourable to the LPC agenda. Imagine that.

Canada sends 1 military aircraft into Haiti’s skies as gang violence escalates

OTTAWA – Canada has sent one of its military planes to Haiti to help the country cope with escalating violence.

A joint statement today from National Defence Minister Anita Anand and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada has deployed a CP-140 Aurora aircraft to help “disrupt the activities of gangs” in Haiti.

Gang violence has become a reality for those living in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince since last summer, with hundreds having reportedly been kidnapped and killed.

I hope it doesn’t break down.

Canada’s government poised to move closer to ending free speech

Many people still sneer at Justin Trudeau for his silly costumes; soft-spoken, even boyish, demeanor; and overt love for all leftist tropes, whether racial, sexual, religious, or anything else. Those people are fools. Trudeau is a dangerous man who is rapidly creating a totalitarian government that grants rights only to those who march in lockstep with Trudeau’s leftist political and social beliefs.
