Sabrina Maddeaux: The indefensible Liberal plan to search your phone on a whim

 

This week, Toronto’s Pearson International Airport went viral for all the wrong reasons when former NHL player Ryan Whitney described it as “the worst place on Earth.” Many recent travellers would agree. It appears the airport is running a not-so-limited promotion where all fares include a tour through the nine circles of hell.

But if you think hours-long security and customs delays, passengers held on planes for hours without food or water, staffing shortages and cascading flight cancellations are bad now, just wait until border agents can search through your phone and laptop based on nothing more than “reasonable general concern.”

Almost a quarter of Canadians report eating less than they should due to rising prices: survey

A new survey suggests a growing number of Canadians are struggling with the rising cost of food as prices for basics like pasta, bread and meat all soar.

The poll from Food Banks Canada indicates hunger and food insecurity are increasing across the country, with lower-income Canadians hit hardest by inflation.

“It’s really hard to hear just how many people in this country are struggling,” Food Banks Canada CEO Kirstin Beardsley said in an interview Monday. “We found that nearly one in five Canadians report going hungry over the last two years.”

Gas price pain is a direct result of electing Trudeau

That pain at the pump you are feeling is causing squeals of delight in Ottawa as taxes from record high gas prices fill the federal coffers.

Inflation, an increased carbon tax and extra GST revenue may be taking their toll on your bank account, but they’re ensuring Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government can keep up their high spending ways.

The price of gas hit record highs across Canada over the weekend and might go higher still later in the week.

Justin Trudeau Runs for Congress The Canadian Prime Minister can’t get enough of U.S. politics.

One of the oddities of Canadian politics is that its Liberal Party politicians so often sound like they’re running for office in the U.S. And, right on time this week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that he wants to ban the sale of handguns and confiscate so-called assault weapons via a mandatory buyback.

Canada’s Covid rules “stringent and invasive”: EU report

A healthcare law review submitted to the European Parliament in May took aim at the Canadian government for having some of the strictest Covid-19 restrictions in the world.

The report, Right to health, a comparative law perspective: Canada, published by the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS) and authored by McGill University law professor Dr Derek Jones, was a survey of the country’s legal system as it pertains to healthcare rights. The EU has published similar reports about other countries.

“Many stringent and invasive public health measures for the Covid pandemic – curfews, capacity-restrictions in restaurants, the closure of bars and nightclubs for months, locking of office buildings, stoppage and restrictions on international travel – have severely curtailed or arrested commercial trade in vital sections of Canada’s economy,” the report said.

One-in-five Canadians reported going hungry due to rising food prices

A new survey suggests a growing number of Canadians are struggling with the rising cost of food as prices for basics like pasta, bread and meat all soar.

The poll from Food Banks Canada indicates hunger and food insecurity are increasing across the country, with lower-income Canadians hit hardest by inflation.

The survey conducted by Mainstreet Research found almost a quarter of Canadians reported eating less than they should because there wasn’t enough money for food – a figure that nearly doubled for those earning under $50,000 a year.

Liberals Used Emergencies Act to End Convoy Protests to Quell Support in Party’s ‘Home Base’ of Quebec, Preston Manning Says

Former Reform Party leader Preston Manning says one of the reasons the Liberal government invoked the Emergencies Act to put an end to the convoy protests was because they realized a great portion of the support for the protests came from Quebec, the Liberals’ “home base.”

Carson Jerema: Justin Trudeau, the troll farm prime minister

The Liberal party has been replaced by a troll farm. All governments to some extent curate their policies based on what would be politically beneficial and what would score points off the opposition. For Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, however, this has become pretty much all they are doing.

From gun control to abortion rights to vaccine mandates, no underlying purpose is being served, no policy goals are being truly met. The only aims are to rile up an increasingly hard-left base and to provoke the Conservatives into opposing these policies so that the Liberals can paint them as ogres.

I have long said Trudeau’s tweets are a propaganda exercise, deliberate falsehoods designed to humiliate as per Dalrymple’s explanation.

Canada: Growing pushback against Trudeau’s clinging to vaccine mandates as others discard them

In Canada, the unvaccinated are banned from all commercial airliners, passengers and crew member alike. But pressure is mounting against Trudeau.

Trudeau’s American counterpart Joe Biden also has a “no logic” border policy, as border crossings from Canada to the US are restricted for the unvaxxed, even though Biden permits multitudes of illegals from Mexico to enter the US — a whopping half a million “during a 10-week period ending on May 15.” Also, refugees from Afghanistan and Ukraine are entering America, many of whom are unvaxxed. So why keep Canadians out, people who could benefit both the Canadian and American economies? Something is clearly amiss.

New gun legislation ‘doesn’t target law-abiding gun owners,’ says lying safety minister

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino isn’t ruling out the possibility of a national ban on handguns in Canada, saying the federal government is leaving “all options on the table.”

In an interview on CTV’s Question Period, Mendicino said Ottawa’s newly introduced gun-control bill is a “step in the right direction” to mitigate gun violence across the country but it won’t eliminate the problem all together.

“Bill C-21, while it is a significant stride and the most ambitious in a generation, by itself, will not eradicate gun violence. We have to invest in our police, we have to make sure that we are protecting our borders, we have to introduce smart gun policy and we also have to make sure that we are addressing gun crime at its root cause,” he said.

Trudeau Government “Reminds Me Of Islamic Republic” Says Iranian Refugee

“It is not just the government that reminds me of the Islamic Republic. The current state of the legacy media, paid for by Justin Trudeau, is just as bad as anything I saw in Iran, arguably worse.”

“If I hadn’t seen the truth with my own eyes while on the ground here in Ottawa I would not be able to believe the level of lies and fake news being spread.”
