The 75th anniversary of the Quebec flag was celebrated on Jan. 21 with the unfurling of the biggest-ever fleurdelisé on the esplanade of Montréal’s Place des Arts. A who’s who of local politicians gathered in the cold for one of those displays of unbridled patriotism for which Quebeckers are known.
Can anyone imagine Ontarians getting even slightly verklempt about their flag?
In the last two years alone, multiple Canadian federal governmental departments spent $39 million hiring contractors to comb through and censor documents requested by the public under the Access to Information Act.
As per Blacklock’s Reporter, information revealed from an Inquiry of Ministry requested by Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP Kelly McCauley last June shows the large payouts to multiple firms and individuals.
According to the Inquiry, “Each file is different based on the complexity and the volume of pages.”
The Trudeau government lavishing your money on its friends? Never!
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the appointment of a special representative on combating Islamophobia that will advise the federal government on how to better fight discrimination against the Muslim community.
Human rights activist Amira Elghawaby will be responsible for serving “as a champion, advisor, expert and representative to support and enhance” the government’s efforts, the federal government said in a statement.
Justin is a vote whore, only he would appoint a Death cult minister.
Good timing after Back to Back Muslim terror attacks in Germany & Spain.
And Iran’s Doomsday Twelver’s now have enough enriched uranium to make nukes!
And let’s not forget the Trudeau government literally hires Muslims who spew the most vile hate like Laith Marouf.
OMG! I’m an Islamophobe!
Hey CBC do you read anything the LPC tells you to type? "The report — released by the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA), an independent research organization that receives federal funding" https://t.co/EQzXw7bbpk

Fewer than half of Canadians have a high level of trust in “authoritative sources” of information such as government health agencies, public news sources, and scientists, according to internal research by the federal Privy Council.
The Privy Council report, “Misinformation and Disinformation: An international effort using behavioural science to tackle the spread of misinformation,” studied 1,872 Canadians and their “intentions to share false COVID-related headlines online,” using “behavioural interventions.”
In recent days, eye-popping reports about Canada’s unusable tanks and about its over reliance on outside contractors came to light, underscoring the incompetence of the Justin Trudeau Liberal regime in Ottawa.
First, Ukraine is asking countries with German-made Leopard 2 tanks to donate them so it can mount a critically important counter-offensive this spring to drive the Russians out of their country. Kyiv needs 300 of these battle tanks, and nations are stepping up, but Canada, with 82 tanks, has not responded yet. Reports by the Canadian Forces College in 2018 and 2022 say the tanks have been neglected and are useless.
Canada is considering contributing four Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, senior sources told CBC News — but no decision has been made.
The government could announce the donation of tanks as early as Thursday, the sources said.
CBC News is not identifying the confidential sources because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Do we even have 4 working tanks?
Adam Zivo: How Canada sabotaged its own fleet of tanks
When asked last week about whether Canada will send tanks to Ukraine, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, “We’re not there yet.” As it turns out, maybe the reason we aren’t “there” is because a decade of neglect has rendered a significant portion of our tanks inoperable.
Ipsos Public Affairs polling conducted exclusively for Global News suggests a growing proportion of Canadians (22 per cent) are “completely out of money” to the degree that they would not be able to pay more for household necessities.
That figure is up three percentage points from similar polling conducted in October and rises to 28 per cent among women.
This year — 2023 — marks year two of Canada’s net-zero plan, which will remake virtually every aspect of our economy and society, if it proceeds according to the Trudeau government’s ambitious plans.
To recap, the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act became law on June 29, 2021, committing Canada to achieve net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by 2050. In March 2022, the federal government published the Emissions Reduction Plan, which requires 45% to 50% reductions in GHG emissions from Canada by 2030, boasting separate net-zero programs for buildings, electricity, heavy industry, oil and gas, transportation, agriculture, waste. Simply put, since 2021 Canada has committed virtually every aspect of its existence to achieve a net-zero posture by 2050. And all Canadian policies, regardless of how small or how tall, will be seen as virtuous if they move the needle to net-zero, or failures if they do not.
HAMILTON—Faced with warnings of a possible recession, stubbornly high inflation and still-rising interest rates, the Liberal government sought Tuesday to reassure Canadians it will keep its big-ticket promises as well as get its fiscal house in order.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau breezed past reporters, refusing to take questions on his way into a daylong federal cabinet meeting where the economy dominated the agenda, on the morning after a few dozen anti-government protesters bellowed, honked and shot off fireworks over the Hamilton hotel where the Liberal ministers gathered.
The vids below are sobering and if true indicate Ottawa don’t know nuffin bout nuffin.

Crown corporation faces staff backlash over McKinsey contract, spending decisions
Multimillion-dollar contracts awarded by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) to consulting firm McKinsey, coupled with some unusual spending choices — including a decision to fly a private chauffeur to B.C. to drive the Crown corporation’s president around — are raising eyebrows within the BDC, sources say.
Current and former BDC employees say they’re alarmed at some of the expenses incurred by the BDC under the leadership of president Isabelle Hudon.
Hudon, Canada’s former ambassador to France, was appointed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government in 2021 to head the Crown corporation. The BDC provides loans, venture capital and advisory services to small and medium-sized businesses across Canada.
No drivers for hire in BC?
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government’s approach to building and maintaining the ArriveCan app through contracts and subcontracts tied to a two-person staffing firm is “illogical” and he has asked for a review by the Clerk of the Privy Council.
The Globe and Mail reported Monday that GCstrategies – the two person Ottawa-area staffing company that has received millions of dollars in federal commissions on IT projects – subcontracted its work on the ArriveCan app to six other companies, including multinationals such as BDO and KPMG.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’s making sure “all rules” were followed in the decision to give $103,050 in contracts to a foodie firm with family ties to Housing Minister Ahmed Hussen’s senior staffer.
Global News reported Thursday that Hussen’s office awarded $93,050 in communications contracts to Munch More Media, a Toronto-based firm focused on the food and restaurant industry. The taxpayer funds came from his constituency office budget, not his ministerial budget.
Justin will be calling us racists any minute now.
Military procurement has been problematic for decades in Canada. There are several complex factors behind this sad state of affairs, but one simple reason is the irresponsibility of politicians. The Trudeau government’s belated decision to buy 88 F-35 fighter airplanes to replace our aging CF-18s, eight years after promising to choose a less expensive model, provides an egregious example of this problem.
Consumer furor over rising food prices has reignited anger over the infamous bread price-fixing scandal, which became public in 2017 and allegedly involved several major grocers colluding to inflate bread prices.
“It’s time to get answers,” said anti-poverty activist Irene Breckon, 76, of Elliot Lake, Ont. “It’s not right that the poor people are suffering so much more, and the rich people … keep bumping up their prices.”
According to data released Tuesday, grocery prices have climbed by 11 per cent year over year.
