Rex Murphy: Jagmeet Singh’s perplexing support for a government he seems to despise

It’s better than most soap operas — the turbulent on-again, off-again mutual support society of NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and his consort, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Yet it gets increasingly difficult to make sense of Singh’s daily Twitter tirades against Trudeau’s Liberals. A secondary perplexity is the absence of any equally fiery volleys from Trudeau. Is there such a thing as a “one-way” war? If so, it is a very curious matter. For it amounts to one side verbally shelling the other on a quite consistent basis — the other side staying mute under said fire — and then both meeting up for dinner and a chat, friendly words all round, and Mr. Singh restating, “Hey, don’t mind the noise, I’ve got your back till 2025.”

There are a lot of very dumb people in the NDP.

Trudeau pushes ahead on fertilizer reduction as provinces and farmers cry foul

Provincial agriculture ministers are expressing frustration with the Trudeau government over plans to effectively reduce fertilizer use by Canada’s farmers in the name of fighting climate change.

A meeting of federal and provincial ministers wrapped up in Saskatoon on Friday with several provinces saying they are disappointed.

The federal government is looking to impose a requirement to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from fertilizers saying it is a greenhouse gas contributing to climate change. While the Trudeau government says they want a 30% reduction in emissions, not fertilizer, farm producer groups say that at this point, reducing nitrous oxide emissions can’t be done without reducing fertilizer use.

Ottawa Launches $2.4 Million Project to correct your Wrong-Think with government approved “Facts”

The Canadian government announced another measure on Thursday meant to impact the information space, this time with a $2.4 million investment to counter “harmful online disinformation.” The minister responsible for the file has cited a desire to “have a common set of facts” as part of the motivation behind the new measure.

The initiative funded by Canadian Heritage is meant to promote “civic, news, and digital media literacy through funding third-party educational activities and programming to help citizens become resilient against disinformation,” according to a statement.

“These projects will give Canadians skills and tools to tell fact from fiction online. We live and work better as a society when we have a common set of facts,” stated Minister of Canadian Heritage Pablo Rodriguez.


We’re living in a Banana Republic now.

Where have all the workers gone? Don’t blame COVID, economists say

“… We are losing people who are trained as early childhood educators because we won’t pay them more than we pay pet groomers. Well why would they stay if they can get a better job in some other sector?”

That’s borne out by Statistics Canada data showing the reservation wage — the minimum hourly rate at which job seekers are willing to accept a position — surpassing the current offered wage in nearly every sector, whereas Canadian workers have historically been willing to settle for less.

Economists believe there are other possible outcomes — increasing automation to fill the vacuum left by the labour shortage, for one. Some industries could also bring in more temporary foreign workers to help fill gaps at the lower end of the labour market, potentially blunting the gains made by domestic workers.”


The article is  LPC propaganda offering the carrot of possibly increased wages for working people.

We all know the Trudeau government has chosen record mass immigration regardless of “fit” to make up the numbers the corporate welfare class needs to depress wages.

Even Ford is jumping on the open flood-gate bandwagon.

The article is contradicted by the Liberal Party’s own 2022 budget document: Douglas Todd: Why Canadian wages never seem to go up

 The downplayed chart, one tiny aspect of the 304-page document, serves as a warning that individual Canadians, compared to the citizens of 39 other economically advanced countries, will in the next decades likely suffer the lowest real growth in their wages.

Oil and gas industry could get more time to meet 2030 emissions targets, minister says

Environment minister floats extended timeline for sector, which accounts for 26 per cent of national emissions

Canada’s environment minister says the federal government could give oil and gas companies extra time to fully meet 2030 emissions reduction targets.

“[We] recognize that some of the measures that will be needed to achieve those deep emission reductions might require more time than what we have between now and 2030,” Steven Guilbeault said in an interview with CBC Radio’s The House.

“I’m not saying today it’s necessarily going to be 2032, but the companies have said it could be 10 years, which would bring us to 2032.”


Canada contributes a whopping 1.6% to total Global GHG emissions. This is a ludicrous offer of compromise by Guilbeault.  I hope they see the writing on the wall, the people will fight back if they wage a green-scam class war.

So naturally Trudeau thinks crippling the oil and gas sector, decimating Canada’s overall economic well being and further alienating the west is a great trade off to achieving exactly squat environmentally.

Did Ottawa meddle with an RCMP murder probe? ‘There’s a whole lot of smoke here’

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.

Justin Trudeau Wants All Canadians To Surrender To The State

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.

Catalano Travelers: The Canadian Ruling Elite

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.)

High Inflation Makes Trudeau’s Spending Habits Harder to Justify

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.

Support For Vaccine Passports Has Collapsed

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.

John Ivison: Report of a drone sent to Russia points to holes in Ottawa’s export ban

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.
