Canadian home energy costs to spike by up to 100 per cent on average this winter: analyst

Most Canadians who pay for natural gas or electricity can expect their bills to rise by between 50 and 100 per cent on average this winter, according to one energy analyst.

Some consumers could see their bills rise by as much as 300 per cent while others could see minimal increases, but the overall trend is clear, says EnergyRates.ca founder Joel MacDonald.

Most of what will drive up the cost of home energy this winter is the rising price of natural gas, which generates 8.5 per cent of Canada’s electricity.

Freeland grossly exaggerated Freedom Convoy impacts on economy

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland grossly inflated estimates of the Freedom Convoy impact on the Canadian economy, internal documents show. Freeland cited figures described in one Department of Transport memo as an “extreme case” that did not reflect actual data.

“The blockade of the Ambassador Bridge has affected about $390 million in trade each day,” Freeland told reporters last February 14. “This bridge supports 30% of all trade by road between Canada and the United States.”

The Cruel Suppression of Tamara Lich’s Freedom of Speech

“Everyone,” says the Charter of Rights, has the fundamental freedom “of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication.” Everyone, that is, except Tamara Lich, one of the organizers of the truckers’ Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa in January and February.

Most egregiously, under her bail conditions Lich must remain publicly silent pending the result of her court hearing in September 2023—including no social media use whatsoever—all for exercising her right to protest in a free country.

The Emergencies Act was never meant to be used against political opponents

The Public Order Emergency Commission, also known as the Rouleau Commission, commenced hearings Thursday in Ottawa with opening statements from parties and the introduction of overview reports from commission counsel.

Naval-gazing Canada has neglected its military French ambassador says … sure but we have no rivals in cross-dressing or proper pronoun usage

An obviously aroused Justin Trudeau abandons all sense of decorum while admiring the “salute” at a military Pride event.

Caught up in naval-gazing and living under the protective shield of the United States, Canada has allowed its military presence worldwide to wither over the last decade or so, France’s new ambassador to Ottawa suggested Friday.

In blunt comments that he said reflected his own personal opinions, Michel Miraillet argued Canada needs to boost its defence capabilities as threats increase from the likes of China, Russia and North Korea.

Russia Is Bad For World Economy Says Tone Deaf Woman Inflicting Green-Scam Policy On Canadians

Russia’s war in Ukraine is proving to be “one of the biggest threats” to the world economy at the moment, according to Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland.

Freeland, who also serves as Canada’s finance minister, made the comments to reporters in Washington, D.C., on Friday following the annual meetings of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund (IMF), which put out a stark world economic outlook earlier this week.

Rex Murphy: The Night of the Long Honks — an imaginary Trudeau memoir

“As the days passed and I took notice of the great line of huge trucks on Wellington Street, the invasion — it was nothing less — of the huge 18-wheelers and their drivers, the nightly bonfires, the fearful lineups at the few takeouts still open, I knew matters had reached a head. This was an absolute crisis.

I immediately called an emergency cabinet meeting. The peril was great. The thought ran through my mind that it might be on my watch that the great experiment, the over 150 years of our precious Confederation, could be at an end.

KRAYDEN: With the Emergencies Act Inquiry, the jig is up for Justin Trudeau

With the Emergencies Act Inquiry, the jig is up for Justin Trudeau and time is running out for the prime minister.

At least as far as the truth is concerned.

We will soon know Trudeau was very well acquainted with the facts of the Freedom Convoy, but he chose to assiduously ignore them and distort reality to his own political ends.

The evidence already points this way.

Ivison: Trudeau has high bar to meet to justify use of Emergencies Act’s extraordinary powers

OTTAWA — The national inquiry into the invocation of the Emergencies Act, in the wake of the truckers’ convoy occupation of downtown Ottawa, is going to be used as a political bullhorn for all kinds of individuals and groups who have been granted standing.

He can’t. He’s a compulsive liar. But it’s not as if he’ll be punished for it.

Emergencies Act wasn’t needed to deal with ‘Freedom Convoy’ protests, OPP says as public inquiry begins

OTTAWA—The Ontario Provincial Police joined some provinces, civil liberties groups and so-called “Freedom Convoy” protesters Thursday in saying it was unnecessary for the federal government to use the Emergencies Act to deal with last winter’s crisis of demonstrations and blockades.

Lawyers for the Alberta and Saskatchewan governments claimed their provinces were blindsided on Feb. 14 when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the premiers to say Ottawa was considering the never-before-used law to quash the protests — a controversial decision announced later that same day.

Liberals keep ‘putting names’ on sanctions lists, with no backup or transparency, critics say

OTTAWA — Canada has announced sanctions on more foreign nationals than ever as part of its foreign policy, but the government is leaving unanswered basic questions about how those sanctions are actually working.

The Liberal government has issued list after list of new financial sanctions in response to Russia’s February invasion of Ukraine, totalling nearly 1,500 Russians, Ukrainians and Belarussians. What’s not known is how many of those individuals have actually had their money frozen, had money in Canada in the first place, or even why those specific individuals were chosen to be on the sanctions list, say critics.

The Trudeau government is performative bullshit.

Here are the key arguments presented on the first day of the Emergencies Act inquiry

The Public Order Emergency Commission’s public hearings into the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act last winter kicked off on Oct. 13 with introductory remarks from various parties who have been granted standing in the proceedings, allowing all sides to essentially make their opening arguments.

From federal officials outlining why they think the national inquiry into the government’s invocation of unprecedented powers through the Emergencies Act will conclude that its use was warranted, to lawyers for the central ‘Freedom Convoy’ protest organizers arguing that the government exceeded its jurisdiction, here are the key positions presented on day one by central players in the commission

GOLDSTEIN: Freeland’s political rhetoric ignores Canada’s reality

Sounding like a reborn cold warrior, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Tuesday that Russia and China are despotic regimes inimical to our way of life.

As a result, she said, Canada stands ready to help our democratic European allies weather the energy crisis provoked by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Plastic ban means higher prices, fewer jobs, more garbage and GHGs. Congratulations, Ottawa!

You might remember that famous scene from the 1967 movie The Graduate. Dustin Hoffman’s anxious adult-in-waiting Benjamin Braddock is trapped at a dull graduation party when family friend Mr. McGuire leans in to offer some advice. “I just want to say one word. Just one word. Are you listening?” When Benji assures him that he is, Mr. McGuire responds, “Plastics.” Waiting a beat, he adds, “There’s a great future in plastics.”

Documents introduced at the Emergencies Act inquiry will tell ‘quite the story,’ lawyer says

… Lawyer Paul Champ, who is representing a coalition of community associations and business improvement areas in downtown Ottawa, has seen some of those documents already. While he’s prohibited from talking about their contents, he said they aren’t flattering to the various levels of government and law enforcement involved.

“I think there’s going to be a very disturbing story to be told,” he said.

“I think we’re going to see where some of the balls are dropped. We’re gonna see that there were a lot of disagreements, there were a lot of arguments and dysfunction between key actors. And it’s going to be quite the story.”

You can watch the hearing at the link.
