While observing Canadian politics over the past five years, certain tactics and trends employed by government-media can be identified. One of the most insidious goes like this:
“Accuse your opponent of that which you indulge in on a regular basis.”
Few examples are more prescient than accusations from government and media regarding so-called “conspiracy theories.” At this stage of the game, such theories can be characterized as “anything Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Cabinet do not like.”
Ottawa city officials say they are prepared for a “unique” Canada Day, with plans to keep anti-government protests from turning into another occupation.
The traditional nationally broadcast shows are returning for the first time since 2019, this time from the plaza in front of the Canadian War Museum because of ongoing construction on Parliament Hill.
Ottawa police say they expect more protests and larger crowds than usual during Canada Day celebrations as groups related to the Freedom Convoy continue to plan demonstrations. Some in those groups have indicated they’d like to protest through July and August.
In trying to protect themselves from the latest turmoil to engulf the Trudeau government, the prime minister and his emergencies minister are offering explanations that defy both logic and the evidence on hand.
Assertions by Justin Trudeau and the minister, Bill Blair, have inconsistencies that negate their credibility. They don’t withstand close examination. And neither man can be conceded the benefit of the doubt.
‘Shame on those responsible’: Float in Sundre, Alta. rodeo parade called out as racist
I see representations of Trudeau and Singh on a manure spreader labeled The Liberal. That’s not racist. That’s an accurate depiction of the LPC.
Canada’s public safety minister ‘deeply committed’ to enhance oversight of the RCMP
The federal public safety minister says he is “deeply committed” to enhancing oversight of the RCMP by strengthening the role of the national police force’s management advisory board.
In an interview, Marco Mendicino expressed a desire to give the board the “independence and autonomy that it needs” — possibly through legislative amendments — to ensure adequate supervision.
He also stressed the need for a clearer line of communication between the board and his office to help build “trust and confidence” between Canadians and RCMP.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his use of the Emergencies Act on Freedom Convoy protestors and restrictions on the unvaccinated, saying unvaccinated Canadians accepted the consequences of not taking the vaccine.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says she must strike a balance between helping Canadians suffering from the effects of inflation and pursuing a policy of fiscal restraint — or risk making the cost of living problem worse.
In an interview airing Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live, Freeland, who also serves as deputy prime minister, said she was open to further action on affordability issues but that she believes measures already underway — worth $8.9 billion — would help alleviate the impact on Canadians.
“I have to strike a balance. One is supporting Canadians with affordability challenges and the other is fiscal restraint, because I don’t want to make the Bank of Canada’s job harder than it already is,” Freeland told CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton.
Rent is out of control in urban centers. Why is rent out of control? Too many renters competing for too few available rentals. Why are there too many renters? One big factor is the insane mass immigration policy of Freeland’s Liberal party. They’re “fighting inflation” by depressing the wages of working class Canadians through record setting immigration rates. If interest rates move higher a lot of homeowners will no longer be able to afford their mortgage payments, they call that cooling the market they helped heat up by creating too much demand through … needless mass immigration.
And that sets the stage for this interesting coincidence …
Canada isn’t prepared to deal with large investors’ growing interest in single-family homes
Rising borrowing costs, dimming economic prospects and stricter lending rules are taking some of the air out of housing bubbles in Canada, the United States and other markets in which strong demand, tight supply and speculative fever have driven prices to record levels and deepened an already serious affordability crisis.
The evidence that overheated markets are cooling is mounting. Canadian home resales slid 8.6 per cent in May from the previous month, and much more than that in such hot markets as Vancouver. Prices fell for a second consecutive month, after shooting higher through most of the COVID-19 pandemic, and some economists forecast a decline of up to 20 per cent this year as higher mortgage rates hit home.
Restoring a modicum of sanity to residential markets won’t do much for people seeking accommodation they can afford. But at least it will prevent the crisis from getting even worse, right? Well, not really.
Heat, shelter or food? Let Freeland choose for you!
Under our Liberal government, an erasure of personal freedoms in Canada are continuing to gain momentum. It appears Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may be of the opinion that existing punitive legal measures for citizens are wholly inadequate.
One of the challenges the Conservatives have faced is that they haven’t provided a genuine contrast to Justin Trudeau’s worldview.
Trudeau pushes a vision of Canada where the federal government is at the centre of everything, and where the solution to every problem is to borrow more and spend more.
The idea that governments should live within their means as the rest of us do is completely alien to Trudeau.
Justice Canada says it should have consulted the inquiry looking into Canada’s worst mass shooting in history instead of withholding critical information from them for nearly four months.
This admission of fault came on Friday after the Mass Casualty Commission confirmed that it did not receive the entirety of RCMP superintendent Darren Campbell’s handwritten notes, including the pages that describe allegations of political interference in order to advance the Liberals’ gun-control agenda.
This says the Trudeau Liberals corrupt everything they touch.
OTTAWA – The Prime Minister’s Office was in possession of a list of the firearms used in the 2020 Nova Scotia shooting spree days before the RCMP commissioner allegedly pressured local officers to publicly release the list to help with government gun-control messaging.
Singh knows his role isn’t to rock the boat, even if some of his voters want him to.
I never wanted Jagmeet Singh to lead our country. But I did want him to be a competent leader for the NDP.
Unfortunately, after choosing to support Trudeau’s internet censorship agenda, Singh’s legacy will be that of a total failure.
Controversy erupted this week when allegations came to light that the Liberal government may have tried to interfere in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) investigation into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting where 17 people were killed.
According to RCMP Supt. Darren Campbell’s notes, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki said in a phone call that she had promised the Prime Minister’s Office and then-Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair that the RCMP would publicly release information about the weapons the gunman used. Lucki was reportedly angry when the RCMP did not do so.
The Liberal government is alleged to have wanted the information made public to further their gun control agenda. Critics and opposition politicians have accused the government of attempting to use the tragedy for political gain. Lucki, Blair and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have denied that there was interference in the investigation.
Just the CBC running cover. Everyone knows Trudeau lied, it’s what he does.
In a recent CBC Radio interview defending his government’s response to the Freedom Convoy, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that tow truck drivers in Ottawa required the Emergencies Act to move in on rigs within the city’s downtown core.
A key problem in Canada today is that the political elites believe they are automatically owed the trust of Canadians.
In our own lives, we all know that trust is earned, and that those who lie constantly are no longer believed.
Somehow, politicians like Trudeau think that doesn’t apply to them.
Thus, in response to the escalating Brenda Lucki-RCMP-Trudeau government scandal, he is trotting out the same tactics he uses every scandal:
