OTTAWA – The federal government admitted certain items on the nearly $100,000 in-flight catering bill for the governor general’s eight-day trip to Dubai in 2020 were “problematic” and is working to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
RCMP sent Freedom Convoy blacklist to lobbyists
Records show an RCMP blacklist of bank account holders identified as part of the Freedom Convoy movement was sent by email to lobbyists, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
The records show the RCMP distributed names, birth dates, phone numbers and more by unencrypted email and neither police nor Cabinet ensured the blacklist was accurate or confidential.
Canada is a Banana Republic.
Irving shipyard recruiting foreign workers to build new warship fleet despite vow of more jobs for Canadians
Irving Shipbuilding wants to bring in more foreign workers to help construct the Canadian navy’s new fleet of warships.
Irving is involved in a recruiting campaign to bring in workers from the Philippines as it gets ready to construct the first of 15 Canadian Surface Combatants.
… But Irving employees told this newspaper that the firm is losing skilled Canadian shipbuilders because the firm is not paying enough and benefits are lacking.
Big LPC supporters I hear.
Jamie Sarkonak: Laith Marouf’s delusional screed against Trudeau and ‘Zionist’ conspirators
… Laith Marouf — the antisemitic, anti-racist, pro-decolonization activist who received federal funding to make a socially just broadcasting strategy for the country — isn’t exercising it. Instead, in a statement released Monday, he doubled down on his antisemitic talking points that caused his funding to be revoked. Perhaps he should have stayed silent, because he isn’t a very sympathetic character.
GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau’s climate targets could cost $18,000 to retrofit home, says report
So, how would you like to pay up to $18,000 to retrofit your home to help Prime Minister Justin Trudeau meet his 2030 and 2050 greenhouse gas emission reduction targets?
A study by the C.D. Howe Institute says that’s what it could cost for a typical, detached, single-family home.
Canada not following suit with other nations’ inflation-busting relief measures: CTF
Canada is falling behind its peers when giving their residents a break from rising cost of living, according to a new report by a government watchdog group.
Released Wednesday, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation report accuses Canada of hiking taxes and making life unaffordable, while 51 other countries have taken steps to provide relief for its taxpayers.
Fighting extremist content online: Trudeau dedicate $1.9M to terrorist analytic tool created by … the UN?!!?
The federal government is giving new funding to continue the development of an automated tool for finding and flagging terrorist content online.
… The tool Trudeau referred to is the Terrorist Content Analytics Platform.
Created by the United Nations’ Tech Against Terrorism initiative in 2020, the tool combs various corners of the internet for terrorist content and flags it for tech companies around the world to review — and, if they choose to do so, remove.
Fighting hate? Bullshit. Criminalizing dissent is the goal. And it’s a UN creation? That bastion of human rights? What could possibly go wrong?
John Ivison: Uh-oh, Trudeau’s back to not thinking about monetary policy again
Regular readers will know that this column is no fan of Pierre Poilievre’s pandering to conspiracy theories and bashing “elites.” But the new Conservative leader was on firm ground on Tuesday, when he said the Trudeau government doesn’t have a plan to fix inflation, and that its planned legislation to boost benefits with borrowed money throws gasoline on the inflationary fire.
Trudeau Commends Event Organized by Group Whose Chinese Affiliate Said Aims to ‘Spread the Voice’ of CCP
A democracy advocate is warning about the Chinese regime’s covert “cultural infiltration” after multiple Canadian politicians lent support to the opening celebration of a new Chinese library that’s part of a China-based project whose founder had said aims to “spread the voice” of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The new B.C. library was unveiled during a Sept. 10 “Night of the Mid-Autumn Festival” event held at a winery in Richmond, just south of Vancouver, which was celebrated by a number of federal, provincial, and municipal politicians and reported on by various Chinese state media.
TERRAZZANO: Trudeau government not serious about making life more affordable
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s approach to making life more affordable is like giving somebody a bike after totaling their car and then waiting for a big thank you.
Justin’s only concern is securing the approbation of the global elite who wish to rule us, he’ll make you suffer in poverty to achieve that.
World confused by Canada mourning the Queen with carousing, Sandra Oh … Canada is confused too
Within hours of the Queen’s death on Sept. 8, officials in Ottawa promised that Canada – as Queen Elizabeth II’s largest overseas realm – would be playing a key role in her funeral and interment.
Instead, the world may come to remember Canada’s participation in the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II primarily for two things: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau belting out Bohemian Rhapsody in a London hotel lobby only days before the funeral, and Ottawa’s weird decision to send actress Sandra Oh in its official delegation.
Junior’s government is just a High School for pampered dullards.
John Ivison: Scaremongering about Poilievre could be the only move Trudeau has left
Pierre Poilievre and his team will be gratified by the first public opinion poll since he was elected Conservative leader, which gives his party a healthy five-point lead over Justin Trudeau’s Liberals.
While there was no sign of a surge in support from voters — Abacus Data has the Conservatives at 35 per cent support, up one point from its last survey — neither was there a drop in approval from Canadians queasy at some of the new leader’s more controversial rhetorical flourishes.
Canada to have 50 million people, half of them immigrant families, by 2041
Canadian immigration levels are currently at their highest since the era just before the First World War, when mass immigration was used to homestead the prairies. Just last year, Canada brought in 401,000 new permanent residents.
One result of this influx, according to new projections from Statistics Canada, is that Canada will be home to as many as 50 million people by 2041. It’s twice as high as the Canadian population as recently as 1980. It also means that over the next 19 years, we’ll be adding enough new Canadians to equal the present-day equivalent of all of Western Canada (the combined population of Alberta, B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba was 11 million in the last census).
Canada – A Great Big Leicester.
Howard Levitt: Public sector jobs boom is a shell game that plays havoc with our economic future
One day late last year, Justin Trudeau took to twitter to tout his government’s job creation record.
“Thanks to your hard work and the hard work of Canadians across the country, Canada’s unemployment rate is the lowest it’s been since the start of the pandemic. In fact, more than 154,000 jobs were created last month — and … in the COVID-19 Era, more than 1 million jobs have been recovered,” he wrote in a tweet.
Justin has just added to his reliably Liberal vote bloc at our expense.
Canadian MPs across the spectrum see threats to democracy: ‘There’s no common middle ground’
OTTAWA — In a troubled world, Canadian democracy endures. But some sitting members of Parliament are worried — for various reasons — that it is getting weaker.
Ryan Turnbull is one of them. The Liberal MP for Whitby was first elected in 2019, and sees the problem through the lens of his education in philosophy: the ideal of democracy allows for public debate on a common ground of fact and reality, but Turnbull believes persistent misinformation and its self-serving weaponization by some politicians is threatening this shared basis for a functioning public discourse.
Mostly this is LPC, NDP and Elizabeth May griping about the scary convoy and such. The Star’s is gonna need a bigger fainting couch.
