Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez’s Credibility Problem, Part One: The Laith Marouf/CMAC Issue

Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez appeared before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage on Friday for one hour and walked away with a serious credibility problem. Rodriguez has already been repeatedly contradicted on Bill C-11, claiming that the bill doesn’t cover user content or algorithms. On both issues, the CRTC Chair (and virtually every expert) say otherwise. Friday’s hearing focused on two issues – the Laith Marouf/CMAC issue of government funding for an anti-semite and Bill C-18, the Online News Act. Given his responses to MP questions, Rodriguez now faces credibility questions on both. This post will focus on his responses to questions about Canadian Heritage funding for CMAC/Marouf and a second post tomorrow will examine his misleading statements on the bill.

The inclusion of questions on Canadian Heritage funding an anti-semite as part of its anti-hate program appeared to take Rodriguez by surprise. The questions began with Conservative MP Rachael Thomas, who noted Rodriguez’s silence this summer and pressed him on whether he would come to committee to answer questions.

Trudeau government’s $1B nuclear reactor investment shows the political bargains that have to be made

Ottawa is going nuclear in a big way, putting almost $1 billion into building a new reactor at Darlington, near Toronto.

It’s a move that has been years in the making and comes with plenty of controversy — as well as prospects to test a new low-emissions technology to generate electricity, and enough power for 300,000 homes.

It’s the latest sign that Canada’s climate change commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050 will have to be a voyage full of political compromise and big bucks that come not just from government but from the private sector.

The Canada Infrastructure Bank will announce on Tuesday that it is lending Ontario Power Generation a total of $970 million to prepare the ground for Canada’s first small modular reactor, with the goal of having it up and running by 2029.

The future is not Solar Powered Unicorn Fart Turbines. Anyone who suggests Nuclear has no place is an idiot, irradiate them.

SMR’s and lots of them must be part of the solution. Those electric cars are not gonna run long on Pride Parade Power. Hell we already know EV’s aren’t sustainable on a large scale, they’re just window dressing to fool a gullible public into going along with the program of deliberate impoverishment.

Canadian pastor jailed for holding church during COVID welcomes pardon, blasts Trudeau

Justin Trudeau prepares for meeting with WEF boss Klaus Schwab

A clergyman from Alberta, Canada, who was repeatedly imprisoned after not closing his church praised a plan from the province’s new premier to pardon and compensate those arrested and fined over COVID-19 protocols.

“It’s a step in the right direction, but I would like to see it being done,” Pastor Artur Pawlowski told Fox News Digital in a phone interview.

Pawlowski, who is now running for political office after becoming leader of the Alberta Independence Party in September, has endured multiple dramatic arrests during the pandemic, including once in the middle of a busy Calgary highway on his way home from church and again on the tarmac of the Calgary International Airport after a speaking tour in the U.S.

The lesson of 2022: energy is our lifeblood – The Ukraine war reminds us we need it in abundance, whether we like it or not

This has, so far, been a year of hard lessons. Spiraling inflation has given households an expensive economic refresher course. A land war in Europe has offered an unwelcome reminder of old geopolitical and military truths. But arguably the most important lesson of 2022 concerns the point at which these economic, military and geopolitical considerations converge: energy.

Canada’s delegation to Queen’s funeral spent almost $400,000 for hotel rooms alone

One hotel room cost $6,000 per night and the total cost of hotels for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral is more than many Canadians spent for their house, according to bills paid by the federal government.

Everyone knew the bill for the Canadian delegation attending the Queen’s funeral last month would be steep, but the king’s ransom paid out is still shocking.

Canada’s competition watchdog to investigate grocery industry in wake of soaring food prices

Canada’s competition watchdog is launching a study of the grocery industry to examine whether the highly concentrated sector is contributing to rising food costs.

“With inflation on the rise, Canadian consumers have seen their purchasing power decline,” the Competition Bureau said in a news release Monday.

“This is especially true when buying groceries. In fact, grocery prices in Canada are increasing at the fastest rate seen in 40 years.”

The government is largely responsible for inflation, are they suggesting we should trust the Liberals to investigate themselves?

‘Ottawa police knew ‘Freedom Convoy’ participants “could” get guns’ … just like they could get donuts or could get hash browns or a manicure inquiry hears

Ottawa police knew ‘Freedom Convoy’ participants could get guns as deputy chief defends his force’s response, inquiry hears

OTTAWA — An Ottawa police “threat assessment” of the approaching “Freedom Convoy” last winter flagged how some unnamed participants had access to guns and that weapons had been seized from travelling protesters in “two cases at least,” according to a document tabled at the Emergencies Act inquiry.

And yet, Ottawa Police Deputy Chief Steve Bell defended the local law enforcement agency’s preparations for the convoy protests in testimony Monday, saying that despite Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) intelligence that the protest convoy travelling across Canada to Ottawa could stay for a long time, the local police could not have predicted the demonstration would turn into a “violent” and “traumatic” occupation around Parliament Hill.

Armed Forces replacement of weapons sent to Ukraine will take up to 4 years, could face problems buying new howitzers

The Canadian military will replace over the next two to four years some of the equipment it sent to Ukraine but could face a problem acquiring replacements for the howitzers it donated.

The Canadian Army donated four M777 howitzers to Ukraine’s military and those guns have proven effective on the battlefield in that country’s war with Russia.

Trudeau’s pandemic hiring boom adds billions to federal payroll & shores up predatory public service union electoral support for Liberal party

A pandemic-fuelled hiring spree has grown the federal civil service by more than 35,000 people since April 2020, according to a CBC News analysis, helping add billions to Ottawa’s payroll costs.

Figures supplied by the Treasury Board and other ministries and departments show the federal government added 19,151 jobs in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, and another 16,356 positions in fiscal 2022. All told, the feds now employ 335,957 people across the country: a 12 per cent increase from pre-COVID times, and the greatest number of public servants in Canadian history.

An additional 28,176 bureaucrats were on long-term leave in 2022, not receiving their full salaries, but many of whom remain eligible for taxpayer-funded top-ups, benefits, insurance and pension contributions.

Canada’s handgun ban will not impact violent crime: expert

As of this past Friday, the federal government has froze the sales, purchase, and transfer of handguns. Making it illegal to a buy a handgun of any kind, unless “exempted.”

The decision was made in Ottawa to help limit access to firearms, and combat gun violence across the country.

But one crime expert doesn’t believe the government addressed the actual issue of gun-related crimes, and in turn, targeted the wrong group.

“We don’t have law abiding licensed citizens going around shooting people, the criminality that’s out there is using illegal guns – and I don’t feel this was the right step,” said Karen Reid-Sidhu, executive director at the Surrey Crime Prevention Society.

Military recruiting issues may be ‘more serious’ than senior ranks letting on: Hillier

As the Canadian Armed Forces grapples with how to boost recruitment amid growing global dangers, a former chief of the defence staff is warning that the situation might be even worse than the top brass are letting on.

Current Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre has warned in recent weeks that, due to recruitment issues, Canada does not have the military “that we need” to tackle future threats — and that readiness within the CAF is “going down.”

Anand’s PR people must have dictated this article. It never mentions the CAF is now “Uber woke” and instead blames everything and anything including of course “right wing extremists” for the shortfall.

Never mentioned but reported elsewhere is that young white males, formerly the armed forces primary source of recruits, have ceased to sign up.

There’s nothing appealing about being sent to Club Ed for mispronouning a bitchy “superior” officer who’s complaining of PMS even though they have a penis said young white males everywhere.

McKinsey still can’t shake Dominic Barton’s reign of error … or Canada’s China Class at work

Justin Trudeau and Dominic Barton – Canada’s China class

…. Mr. Barton, who served as Canada’s ambassador to China until late 2021, does not come off well in the book. Indeed, most of the scandals that have haunted McKinsey in recent years originated during his tenure – from its work advising Purdue Pharma on how to “turbocharge” OxyContin sales (for which it paid US$641-million last year to settle legal claims with several U.S. states) to the laying of criminal charges last month by South African authorities over McKinsey’s work for the country’s state-owned freight-rail operator.

Trudeau and Barton both enjoy the taste of Xi Jinping’s arse.

Canada Prime Minister Announces National Handgun Freeze…Or So He Thinks

Someone forgot to tell Justin Trudeau that he can’t stop the signal. On Friday, October 21, the feeble Canadian Prime Minister announced that handgun ownership has been frozen. No further purchases, transfers or imports of handguns are allowed. At least under officially recognized government databases.

It’s workin great!
