“Climate action can’t wait. Since 2015, Canada has been a committed partner in the fight against climate change, and as we move to a net-zero future, we will continue to do our part to cut pollution and build a cleaner future for everyone.”
After which Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau flew somewhere in the area of 400,000 kilometres in private jets over a six-year period. As reported by the National Post in April, 2022, Trudeau has flown nearly 128,000 km in the past 10 months.
In the first six months of this year, more people crossed illegally into Canada at Roxham Road in Quebec than in all of 2019. The asylum seekers fast-track route may have all but shut down for much of the pandemic, but now it’s back in business with gusto.
Did the federal government interfere in the police investigation of the deadliest shooting in Canadian history?
That’s the central question that will be at the heart of a much-anticipated probe on Monday, looking at allegations of pressure on the RCMP during its investigation of the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting.
The House of Commons standing committee on public safety will be hearing from RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki and Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair, as well as current and former top RCMP officials from Nova Scotia.
As most adults recognize, human relationships can take on many forms. A similar principle can be applied to relations between government and its citizens. Some are healthy and productive, while others are steeped in toxicity.
In an authentic democracy, government are mandated to maximize benefits to the general public. Their purpose is one of management– to optimize well being in key categories– socially, economically, culturally. Stability is based on relative affinity between government and the people.
Authoritarian states are founded on different principles. The goal of government is one of social conformity. To control not only behaviour, but human thought, is an ideal within totalitarian societies.
When I survey the current roster of those who have been empowered to govern Canada, it is hard to avoid the onset of severe depression. None are serious people, none even remotely competent, all are driven by the ideological drivel of the day, and they are to a man and woman decoupled from the ordinary folk who make — or made — this country run.
Moreover, beginning with the prime minister and descending to the least member of cabinet, these are people who seem to have no idea what real work and economic survival consist of. Passing legislation on climate change, health policies, agriculture, energy, and supply-and-manufacturing sectors that almost inevitably tend to harm the prospects of the actual people affected while the legislators themselves are protected from the ravages of their virtue comprises the trademark of the parasitic class, which disqualifies the present bunch from serving in their official capacity. (It is only fair to mention parenthetically an astronaut and a hockey goaltender, but neither now serves in cabinet, and neither was especially distinguished.)
Justin Trudeau can take solace from the fact that inflation probably won’t get much worse than June’s reading of 8.1%. The Canadian leader’s political problems, however, are just beginning.
Statistics Canada said Wednesday that annual consumer price gains hit their highest since January 1983, a week after the Bank of Canada surprised markets by hiking interest rates by a full percentage point to beat down inflationary pressures.
Those back-to-back signals make clear that the overheating economy no longer needs the large budget deficits that have characterized Trudeau’s reign as prime minister.
Canadians have shifted their views dramatically when it comes to vaccine passports.
According to a new Angus Reid survey, just 25% of Canadians want vaccine passports to continue.
To get a sense of the shift, 70% supported them in September of 2021.
Support for mask mandates has also dropped dramatically.
The Canadian government may have dropped the ball when it comes to its export ban on military equipment to Russia.
Italian newspaper la Repubblica reported last week that Italian authorities had seized a U.S.-made, Russia-bound drone shipment. Containers with drones, or drone components, were intercepted at the southern port of Gioia Tauro. They were officially bound for Qatar but investigators suspect their final destination would have been Russia, which is desperate to get its hands on superior American drone guidance and control systems for its war in Ukraine.
According to reports, government’s implementation of the ArriveCan application is functioning like a plague upon Canadian travellers, as well as the travel industry in general.
Canadian farmers and activists are launching convoy protests across the country on July 23 to stand in solidarity with Dutch farmers who have been protesting against their government’s climate change policy since June.
Protests are set to take place simultaneously in several provinces, including Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, several social media posts show.
Trudeau: Russia is trying to ‘divide’ western allies over turbine issue
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is standing behind Canada’s decision to send repaired Russian turbines back to Germany — despite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s assertion that the move violated sanctions.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trudeau said the decision to return the turbine was “difficult” but “right.”
“Russia will not succeed in either weaponizing its energy or dividing our allies amongst ourselves. We are focused on being there to support Ukraine,” he said.
Junior made his choice, a bad one as usual and it still won’t help his German Globalist buddies a bit.
Germany worries about gas rationing as supply from Russia halted
Germans are fretting about the coming winter freeze even while Europe sweats in record temperatures, amid uncertainty over whether a complete stopping of Russian gas deliveries would force energy rationing on private households as well as industry.
The cost of living keeps on skyrocketing.
According to new data from Statistics Canada released Wednesday morning, the Consumer Price Index — the main measure of inflation — hit 8.1 per cent in June.
That’s higher than the 7.7 per cent figure seen in May, and is the highest since January, 1983.
A new survey undertaken by Polling Canada found that Canadians have rated Justin Trudeau the worst Prime Minister of modern times.
Those Who Say (X) Has Been Canada’s Worst Prime Minister:
J. Trudeau: 29%, Harper: 17%, P. Trudeau: 6%, Campbell: 6%, Mulroney: 5%.
Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich is currently sitting in jail awaiting trial on her bail breach charge – an unprecedented situation in Canadian legal history. Other organizers and people involved in the Freedom Convoy are either out on bail or not facing charges at all, so why is Tamara Lich the one who seems to be facing the harshest punishment and why is the state throwing the proverbial kitchen sink at this case?
Every Canadian’s share of federal debt has spiked by more than $12,000, or an increase of 35.3 percent, since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came to office in 2015, a recent Fraser Institute study shows.
The study compared the debt legacies of every Canadian prime minister since Confederation, looking at how much the federal debt increased or decreased during their time in office. It found that the Trudeau government has accumulated the third-highest debt among all prime ministers since World War II—just behind his father Pierre Trudeau, who saw the federal debt increase by 58.8 percent per person during his second tenure from 1980 to 1984, and Brian Mulroney, with 42.5 percent between 1984 and 1993.
