… Canada’s outlook is grim. The Business Council of British Columbia noted that the OECD has predicted that Canada “will be the worst performing advanced economy over 2020 to 2030.” It added that Canada will have the worst economic growth among advanced economies from 2030 to 2060. “In other words, Canada will be dead last not only for the next decade, but also for the three decades after that.”
If the federal government’s “Just Transition” program for workers who will be laid off in Canada’s transformation into a green energy superpower is as great as the Liberals and their media apologists claim, where is it?
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised it in the 2019 federal election and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said recently he hopes to unveil it early this year.
The federal government has spent almost $94-million since the last election booking entire hotels for months to accommodate an influx of asylum seekers entering Canada, according to an access-to-information request.
Since September, 2021, the Immigration Department has paid $93,886,222 for “long leases” with hotels, mostly in Quebec, setting them aside for asylum seekers, including those entering the country through the irregular border crossing at Quebec’s Roxham Road.
The department booked 30 hotels between April and December last year – 10 in Montreal alone, according to a redacted response to the access-to-information request.
Innovation programs, critics say, have been overly politically driven with an attempt to cover too many regions and sectors, and designed by bureaucrats with outdated or underdeveloped notions
Last summer, the federal government invited 40 industry groups to weigh in on its latest big-ticket plan to support Canadian innovation. It was a $1-billion agency announced in the spring budget that would stimulate businesses to spend more on research and development and deliver innovation-led growth.
During five roundtable meetings around the end of August, officials with the Innovation, Science and Economic Development department (ISED) asked participants how they thought the proposed Canadian Innovation and Investment Agency (CIIA) could most effectively help businesses increase R&D spending and overcome challenges to growth.
Is Canada ready to meet its ‘aggressive’ electric vehicle mandate by 2026?
As Canada has mandated at least 20 per cent of car sales to be electric vehicles by 2026, some are questioning if the goal is realistic given supply levels and charging infrastructure.
The federal government has said that there will be penalties for manufacturers and importers that do not meet the 20 per cent sales target. After 2026, the government is aiming for 60 per cent of sales to be EVs by 2030, with all sales being electric by 2035.
No surprise that the idiots in Ottawa ruining our economy are divorced from reality.
EV’s are a latter day version of Hitler’s “People’s Car” the Volkswagen, an outright con.
The scheme by which workers, under the influence of a massive advertising campaign, parted with a portion of their wages each week to put towards buying a “Strength Through Joy car” turned out to be no more than a means of getting them to put in more overtime so that they could contribute to the financing of rearmament. By the end of 1939, 270,000 people had lent 110 million Reichsmarks to the state in this way. In the end, no fewer than 340,000 people invested their money in the scheme. Not one of them ever got a Volkswagen in return. The factory was converted to war production in September 1939.
EV’s are being used to provide Trudeau’s Green-scam a veneer of normalcy as if the transition to the nirvana of Justin’s Electric-La-La-Land will be virtually painless.
Just as German workers were conned out of funds Junior is robbing Canadians to support an EV manufacturing and supply chain strategy made out of whole cloth.
You will not have a car let alone an electric vehicle if Trudeau and his fellow fanatics have their way.
A second Liberal minister gave thousands in contracts to a foodie firm with family ties to a senior staffer in Housing Minister Ahmed Hussen’s office, Global News has learned.
Marci Ien, the minister of women and gender equality, gave $10,000 in constituency contracts to Munch More Media, a Toronto-based public relations firm specializing in promoting the restaurant and food services industry.
Maybe you saw that report by the CBC’s Marketplace the other day on the cost of wireless telephone service in Canada. If so, maybe your fists have not yet unclenched from the little balls of rage that formed as you watched.
Quoting a recent study by the Finnish research firm Rewheel, the report found the cost per gigabyte of wireless data transmission in Canada is “seven times more expensive than Australia, 25 times more than Ireland and France, and 1,000 times more than Finland.”
OTTAWA — The old joke is that at roll call, senators don’t know whether to shout “present” or “not guilty.” Very little happens in that sleepy sinecure that reaches the outside world.
Yet over Christmas, a clip from the Senate finance committee started circulating of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland being grilled by Conservative Sen. Elizabeth Marshall, a former provincial auditor general in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Housing Minister Ahmed Hussen’s office admitted Thursday night that his senior staffer is the sister of the director of a foodie communications firm that received $93,050 in constituency funds.
Hussen’s office confirmed that his director of policy, Tia Tariq, is sisters with Hiba Tariq, the director of Munch More Media, the company that has been receiving lucrative contracts to help the York South—Weston MP reach out to constituents.
I have never seen a government that has the unmitigated hatred and contempt of it citizens as Trudeau’s Liberals.
Energy is now about security
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, energy security has replaced climate change as most countries’ number one concern, especially the countries we count as friends and allies. No matter how much Justin Trudeau may long for it, the world is not going back to the kumbaya days of the Kyoto and Paris climate accords.
Trudeau is not fit to be in charge of anything beyond costume selection. Canada is becoming an economic basket case thanks to Junior’s Greta envy.
Trudeau’s natural gas snubbing of Japan and Germany is really bad policy for Canadians
Having shown Germany the back of his hand in August when Chancellor Olaf Scholz asked to buy some of Canada’s abundant natural gas, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau repeated the performance only two weeks into 2023 — this time snubbing the people of Japan.
Trudeau views the world much like a not very bright teenager. Magic thinking is no way to run a country. Canadians will pay and pay and pay for this madness.
Housing Minister Ahmed Hussen used $93,050 in constituency funds for public relations help from a foodie communications firm with a connection to a former senior staffer, public records show.
House of Commons rules permit MPs to use constituency funds for professional communications work, but Hussen is one of just a handful of cabinet ministers who spent a significant amount on public relations contracts over the past three years.
Because Canada needed an MP for Mogadishu.
The Chinese Consulate in Vancouver asked the province in 2014 to give to a Vancouver-based NGO the driver’s licences of Chinese nationals who had surrendered them in exchange for B.C. licences, according to internal government documents.
The revelation comes amid heightened scrutiny of China’s overseas operations after reports emerged that the communist regime is operating unofficial police service stations abroad.
The NDP, meeting in Ottawa, say they will hold the Trudeau Liberals to account. Quick, tell me another one before I stop laughing!
He believes his own Bullshit … NDP leader says Liberal government is waging war against the working class
