Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
‘Doesn’t Prevent Spread’: Feds Asked by Premiers, Industry to Remove Vaccine Mandates During Convoy Protests
Some premiers and an industry executive asked the federal government to end its COVID-19 vaccine mandates that sparked the convoy protests across Canada in winter, with some saying the mandates didn’t prevent the spread of COVID-19.
“I know it sucks politically to back down and reverse course but does it really pay to carry on the policy in support of a mandate for a vaccine that doesn’t prevent the spread of omicron and which seems to be vanishing naturally anyway?” said Alan Kestenbaum, an executive from steel-manufacturing company Stelco, based in Hamilton, Ont., in a text message to Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland on Feb. 11.
Bill C-11 Raising Serious Doubts About CRTC’s Independence From Feds
A bill to ostensibly protect and promote Canadian online content has long been under fire for becoming a potential government censorship tool. Amid mounting criticism, another issue being raised with the proposed legislation is the broadcast regulator’s perceived lack of independence from cabinet.
“[Bill] C-11 turns basically an independent, arm’s-length, respected regulator into a branch of government. And I feel sorry for the commissioners who were there and I feel sorry for the staff there because they have been undercut by this government in a remarkable fashion,” Peter Menzies, a Macdonald-Laurier Institute senior fellow and former vice-chair of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), told The Epoch Times.
Jesse Kline: Enriching dictators in the name of ‘climate justice’ is certain to fail
Loss and damage fund agreed to at COP27 will end up being trillions in misspent dollars
To no one’s surprise, this year’s COP27 climate conference — the annual gabfest that brings politicians and environmentalists together to discuss Big Government solutions to climate change — saw some world leaders pat themselves on the back for coming up with yet another costly program to deal with global warming, and others incensed that an agreement couldn’t be reached to force everyone to ride their bikes to work and trade in their furnaces for cozy sweaters.
Enriching dictators with our money is what Trudeau does best.
GOLDSTEIN: Yes, China interfered in 2019 and 2021 federal elections
To clear up ongoing confusion coming from statements by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Chief Electoral Officer Stephane Perrault and some media reporting, the federal government itself says China attempted to interfere in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
Rex Murphy: Trudeau’s national ’emergency’ was a pure concoction of political convenience
Anyone remember the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?
Not so long ago, the Charter — as the shorthand for it goes — was looked upon as Canada’s most important, close to sacred, document — something like how the British think of the Magna Carta, or the Americans of their Declaration of Independence.
VEZINA: Government fumbled its way into invoking the Emergencies Act
Either the Canadian government or its national security infrastructure are incompetent.
It could be both. It cannot be neither of them.
Trudeau elaborates on what Chinese ‘interference’ he discussed with Xi Jinping at G20
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered his most detailed explanation yet on Wednesday about what kind of “interference” he brought up with Chinese President Xi Jinping in a meeting earlier this month.
At the recent G20 summit in Indonesia, the Prime Minister’s Office told reporters that Trudeau raised serious concerns with Xi about Chinese “interference” in Canada, but offered no specifics.
Freeland’s Office Distributed Blacklist of Trucking Companies Who Participated in Freedom Convoy
A blacklist of 201 trucking companies that took part in the Freedom Convoy protest early this year was distributed by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s office in February, records show.
“Please find attached an excel sheet detailing which companies whose trucks are participating in Ottawa convoy demonstrations,” wrote an unidentified staffer in an email distributed from Freeland’s office, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
That’s one apple that didn’t fall far from Grandpa’s tree.
Justice Minister Lametti floated using military in Ottawa during first week of convoy protests
“How many tanks are you asking for I just wanna ask Anita how many we’ve got on hand,” Mr. Mendicino said in response, referring to Defence Minister Anita Anand.
“I reckon one will do!!” Mr. Lametti replied.
Trudeau says he hasn’t been briefed on election interference from Beijing, but what might that mean?
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s claim over the weekend that he does “not have any information,” nor has he “been briefed on any federal candidates receiving any money from China,” raises a few deeply troubling possibilities.
Elections Canada chief not aware of Chinese election interference allegations
Canada’s top elections officer says he wasn’t aware of allegations of Chinese interference in the 2019 election prior to seeing reports about it on the news.
Testifying before the standing committee on procedure and house affairs on Tuesday, Elections Canada’s Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault told committee members he wasn’t aware of the allegations — made last month in a report by Global News — until reading about it.
GUNTER: Trudeau’s denial on China’s interference simply ludicrous
Just who does Prime Minister Justin Trudeau imagine is going to believe him?

Mendicino’s Spokesperson Was ‘Encouraging’ Journalists to Find Dirt on Convoy Protesters, Text Messages Reveal
According to text message exchanges summitted to the Emergencies Act inquiry, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s communications director was “encouraging” journalists to investigate who the convoy protesters were before their arrival and where their crowd-sourced funds came from, apparently without knowing if there were any particular concerns to be unearthed.
Carson Jerema: Canada, where traffic violations bring the country to the brink of collapse
Even the lower standards of Justin Trudeau and his advisers for invoking the Emergencies Act were not met
CSIS Director David Vigneault is the latest senior bureaucrat who seems to believe that it does not matter what the Emergencies Act actually says. What’s written in legislation can be safely ignored if doing so helps the government of the day expand its powers. The act of proposing, amending and passing laws through Parliament is just so tedious.
With a Public Service as partisan as Canada’s all outcomes are predetermined.
