Canada’s Signing on to WEF Agile Nations Charter Marks ‘Radical Policy Shift,’ Says Tory MP

Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis commented on Jan. 28 on the information she helped surface about Canada’s involvement in a World Economic Forum (WEF) project seeking to streamline federal regulations, saying it represents a “radical policy shift” from the current governance model.

“First of all, how did Canada become a member state and who recognize this as necessary?” Lewis asked in a video posted on YouTube.

“I don’t even remember this issue being brought up in Parliament, although this is like a radical change in the way that we conceive policy in this country.”

Feds Paid $6.7M for Hotel Quarantine Rooms Used by 15 People: Document

The federal government paid over $6.7 million last year for COVID-19 quarantine rooms in a Calgary-area hotel used by only 15 travellers, according to an Inquiry of Ministry recently tabled in the House of Commons.

The Westin Calgary Airport hotel—which the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) designated as a quarantine facility under Section 7 of the Quarantine Act in June 2020—housed just 15 quarantined travellers from January 2022 until the end of September, for which it received over $6.7 million from the federal government.

Trudeau gov’t to send tanks to Ukraine while own military suffers from underfunding

Since early 2022 the Trudeau government has given $5 billion ‘in direct financial, military, humanitarian, and other assistance to Ukraine.’

OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government said it will be giving some of its battle tanks to Ukraine despite the fact the Canada’s own military has aging equipment and is woefully underfunded compared to some of its allies.

On January 26, Canada’s Defence Minister Anita Anand announced that Canada will be gifting Ukraine four of its 82 German-made Leopard 2 battle tanks, along with the training and resources to use them. The tanks are expected to be delivered to Ukraine sometime later this year.

Anand was in Ukraine in early January, which is when she was asked by her Ukrainian counterpart Oleksii Reznikov for the tanks.

The government wants you to own an electric vehicle — but who can even afford them?

As both the government and auto makers push to make car owners transition to electric vehicles, astronomical prices threaten to make that out of reach for many Canadians.

That means that while the federal government wants every passenger vehicle sold in Canada to be electric by 2035, unless the prices become more reasonable for the average consumer, it might not be a realistic expectation.

James Godfrey, general manager at Eastway Toyota and Lexus of Windsor, says electric vehicles — a promise on the near horizon of buyers everywhere — are sold at much higher price points than internal combustion engine vehicles or hybrids. And due to supply chain issues, he says, vehicle prices in general have seen a big jump in the last few years.


The CBC is running propaganda for the LPC’s zealous commitment to a dubious technology that auto manufacturers have begun speaking out against.

Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are sliding in popularity: ‘These numbers should be a warning’

Trouble for Justin Trudeau’s government has often landed in the early weeks of a new year — Donald Trump, an unfortunate trip to India, a fateful cabinet shuffle, ministerial resignations and of course, three years ago, a global pandemic.

The first few weeks of 2023 finds the Trudeau government not in a crisis, but a definite slide, according to new polling from Abacus Data, which will be providing exclusive numbers to the Star starting this week.

Ottawa contracts comprise up to 10 per cent of McKinsey Canadian revenue

Global management consulting giant McKinsey and Company says its contracts with the federal government make up as much as 10 per cent of its gross revenue in Canada.

The Canadian revenue figures for McKinsey’s Canadian operations, contained in a U.S. court filing, show how integral federal government contracts are to the New York-based firm, which has offices in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver.

Ex-McKinsey Chief Dominic Barton has had an insidious influence on Canada’s immigration policy which now serves corporate greed exclusively.


Freeland lets us in on her and Junior’s cozy relationship with Barton.

Carson Jerema: Trudeau Liberals embrace crony capitalism, but call it ‘innovation’ policy

As soon as the Americans passed the ludicrously named Inflation Reduction Act, the shameless begging in Canada for the the Liberals to bring in their own plan would make the most seasoned con artists wince. Everyone has their hand out, demanding their cut. Carmakers, universities, unions, oil and gas companies, renewable energy companies and anyone who believes lobbying Liberals is preferable to satisfying customers has dollar signs in their eyes.

Mendicino, RCMP will face committee over contracts to firm now tied to China

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino is slated to testify before a parliamentary committee on Monday about federal contracts awarded to a firm that has ties to the Chinese government — a revelation that came amid increased concerns about foreign interference last month.

Last month, reports emerged that Ontario-based Sinclair Technologies had been given 24 contracts since 2009, including work for the Department of Defence, the RCMP and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

Quebec government wants Amira Elghawaby to resign as federal representative to propagandize Islamist Supremacy, just days into her new job

The Quebec government is calling on the federal government to withdraw its support of Amira Elghawaby, the new representative to combat Islamophobia, only four days after she was first appointed.

This comes a day after her attendance at the sixth commemoration of the deadly mosque attack in Quebec City, honouring the six men who were killed in 2017 when a gunman opened fire just before 8 p.m. in the Islamic Cultural Centre in the Sainte-Foy neighbourhood.

Since her appointment on Thursday, the journalist and human rights activist has been pressured to clarify her position on Quebec’s secularism law.

Liberal ‘Green Energy’ Plan Adding to Inflation: Bank of Canada Paper

The most persistent trend adding to inflation is the transition to “green energy,” which “raises costs,” according to a new Bank of Canada staff discussion paper.

“The 2021–22 Surge in Inflation” says that Canada has undergone the most pronounced surge in inflation in the 2021–2022 fiscal year since the 1970s.

A dollar in 1970 was equivalent to about $7.44 in purchasing power today, according to the Canada Inflation Calculator, based on Statistics Canada consumer price index (CPI) data.

1 year after disrupting Alberta’s border with the U.S., protesters return to Coutts — where wounds remain

As vehicles pulled into a meeting spot on the side of the highway south of Lethbridge, Alta., it was clear that this year’s convoy protest gathering would be different. As people gathered to mark its one-year anniversary, they were greeted by two RCMP vehicles at the side of the road.

There was no missing the police vehicles scattered along the highway and the helicopter in the air, or the message: The event would be permitted, a large-scale disruption would not.

One year ago, Alberta RCMP had sent out a fairly innocuous media advisory warning of heavy congestion and slow-moving traffic near the border crossing at Coutts, Alta.

Trudeau Tells Liberal MPs to ‘Be Ready For Anything’ Because of Minority Status

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau implicitly told Liberal MPs on Jan. 27 to be ready to campaign in an election due to the minority status of their government, in a speech during the party’s caucus retreat that focused on accomplishments and criticized Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre.

“We need you to keep stepping up in your communities,” Trudeau said.

“You’re all working the ground hard to get yourselves nominated once again, because we’re in a minority Parliament, and we need to be ready for anything.”

Justin Trudeau’s MPs are more nervous than ever about the Liberal party

MONTREAL—On Monday, Justin Trudeau’s government will enter a make-or-break parliamentary season. Given the average life of past minority governments, this could well be the last full year of the prime minister’s third term. More than a few Liberals fear it could also be the closing chapter of their party’s tenure in power.

Back in 2015, Trudeau rode to power on a cyclical wave of change. In the next election, the Liberals will be running against the tide. In recent Canadian history, no federal incumbent has ever managed to win a fourth consecutive term. This prime minister has never lost a political battle, but there is a first time for everything.

Albertans must counter climate extremists in Ottawa planning destructive decarbonization

The next provincial election in Alberta is only a few months away and will be the most consequential one to occur in my 70 years of living and prospering in Alberta. It will create a real “existential” binary choice for Albertans; will we choose to resist the deconstruction of our economy and its reliance on the hydrocarbon production sector, or accommodate that by acquiescing to an extreme, implacable national climate and energy agenda of de-carbonization?
