Carson Jerema: Justin Trudeau’s war on oil and gas is a war on the middle class

Don’t worry, it will keep getting worse. The cost of gas will continue to rise — and with it, the price of just about everything else. Once this pandemic-induced inflationary period has passed, the Liberals’ enthusiasm for forcing Canadians to lower their standard of living will only grow.

Of course, they won’t phrase it that way. They will call it a “transition,” or “putting a price on pollution,” or Canadians “doing their part to fight climate change.” The government might even believe some of it.

It is criminal what the Trudeau government has done to Canada.

Watson Told Trudeau Convoy Protesters Were ‘Nasty’ and Un-Canadian: Phone Call

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a phone call that the Freedom Convoy protesters were “nasty people” that don’t represent the country, saying they remind him of the Republican Party, documents presented at the inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act show. His comments were shown at the inquiry on Oct. 18, where he later denied to the convoy protesters’ lawyer that he had politicized the protests.

“A challenge for everyone. Still a pretty unstable situation. Nasty people out there that just don’t represent Canada,” Watson told Trudeau on Feb. 8, according to a transcript presented at the public inquiry into the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.

Our political class lives in a bubble without contact to Canadians.

Chrystia Freeland is right to condemn doing business with dictators. Will Trudeau listen?

There were a couple of things that were quite striking about Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland’s clarion call at a Brookings Institution forum last week where she called for a radical dismantling of the global trade paradigm that Russia and China have lately proved so successful in subverting by coercion, blackmail and war.

Justin loves the taste of Dicktators.

OPP Intelligence Head Concerned With False Allegations of Extremism made by Politicians, Media Against Convoy Protesters

“So when I read accounts that the state of Russia had something to do with it, or that this was a result of American influence, either financially or ideologically, or that Donald Trump was behind it, or that it was un-Canadian, or that the people participating were un-Canadian and that they were not Canadian views and they were extremists, I found it to be problematic.”

Wow an honest public servant. Compare and contrast with Justin, the CBC and the rest of those frauds.

Don Martin: Trudeau faces the greatest risk of Freedom Convoy fallout

He may not have seen the potential threat when truckers rolled toward Ottawa last January, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cannot miss the risk of Freedom Convoy fallout he now faces.

Under the no-nonsense watch of Justice Paul Rouleau with a lineup of inquisitive lawyers representing all sides of the protest, the Public Order Emergency Commission may well deliver a daily dose of bad news for the government as Trudeau and his seven cabinet ministers parade across the stand.

PM Trudeau, Poilievre spar over recession concerns, ruinous increase in carbon tax scam

PM Trudeau, Poilievre spar over recession concerns, affordability bill

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sparred in the House of Commons on Tuesday over concerns of a looming recession and how the federal government should be tackling inflation, with Trudeau accusing Poilievre of “blocking” the Liberals’ bill to implement housing and dental benefits.

Tuesday’s Question Period saw a back-and-forth between Trudeau and Poilievre, with the Conservative leader accusing Trudeau of “bragging about” the $500 top-up for low-income renters as part of the proposed affordability legislation, while adding “these days, you can’t even rent a dog house in the backyard for that kind of money.”

Trudeau is a thief.

Canada’s annual rate of inflation cooled to 6.9 per cent per cent in September, according to Statistics Canada.

The agency said the drop in the headline figure was largely thanks to lower gas prices.

But prices on food purchased from the grocery store continued to soar, rising 11.4 per cent to a new 41-year high.

Canada: The Weak Link In Countering Terror Finance?

Justin Trudeau, Canada’s charismatic young Prime Minister, seeks to cultivate a progressive image. The Wall Street Journal calls him “the world’s golden boy of liberal politics,” while lamenting that a corruption scandal tarnished his “rock-star popularity.” Much of his progressive façade, however, rests on an embrace of identity politics. And, as often happens when ethnic lobbies trump individuals, radicalism wins while the silent majority loses out.

Trudeau’s Second Carbon Tax to cost $1,277 per Canadian – Report

Toronto – A newly released report authored by economist Ross McKitrick exposes the true cost to Canadians of the Trudeau government’s new Clean Fuel Standard, dubbed Canada’s “Second Carbon Tax.”

This new tax will be expensive. According to the report released by LFX Associates, Economic Analysis of the 2022 Federal Clean Fuels Standard, household energy costs will increase by 2.2 to 6.5% a year per household. In real money terms this will mean an extra tax of $1,277 a year per worker.

A new research report says federal cybersecurity legislation is so flawed it would allow authoritarian governments around the world to justify their own repressive laws.

The report by Christopher Parsons of the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab makes 29 recommendations to bolster transparency and accountability of the proposed measures introduced in June by the Liberal government.

The Prime Minister’s Office knew about an anti-racism consultant’s derogatory tweets about “Jewish white supremacists” a month before the government cancelled a $133,000 contract in which he played a key role.

The consultant, Laith Marouf, is an expert for the Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC), a non-profit that was awarded the contract earlier this year. Mr. Marouf’s tweets also derided francophones and Black and Indigenous public figures.

Diane Francis: Canada is a lightweight nation

OPEC kicked the United States, the West, and the world’s poorest nations in the teeth recently with oil production cuts that will raise prices to help finance Russia’s war against Ukraine and Europe. And what has Canada done to help allay this situation, given that it is a country with one of the biggest oil and gas reserves on the planet?

Carson Jerema: Trudeau Liberals know using the Emergencies Act was an overreaction

… The Liberals don’t want the public looking too closely at their flimsy case for invoking the Emergencies Act to oust the Freedom Convoy last February. In the spring, they refused to allow the Conservatives, the official Opposition, to chair or vice-chair the parliamentary committee studying the use of the act, as is common practice for committees. The government has also used cabinet confidentiality to deny requests in court to outline the specific information supposedly used to back up claims that there was a genuine national security threat.
