Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government

A group of Conservative Party of Canada MPs met with some of the people planning protests in Ottawa this summer, including organizers of the Freedom Convoy that occupied downtown streets earlier this year.

James Topp, a veteran marching across Canada to protest against remaining vaccine mandates, is set to end his journey on June 30 but he drove into Ottawa Wednesday to take part in the meetings.

He was joined by Paul Alexander, a former official in U.S. president Donald Trump’s administration, and Tom Marazzo, who served 25 years in the Canadian Forces and had a failed bid as an Ontario MPP candidate.

Oh no!

A leaked intelligence report says officials are worried about the so-called “freedom convoy” heading back to Canada’s capital next week.

Canadian authorities are preparing for the imminent return of the anti-vaccine convoy, warning that increasingly violent rhetoric from extremist groups aligned with the movement could pose a threat to politicians, police, and civilians.

The vast majority of Canadian households, especially those with kids, are worried about feeding their families amid decades-high inflation, according to a new survey.

Polling from Ipsos conducted exclusively for Global News earlier this month shows that 72 per cent of families with kids are worried about putting food on the table after inflation hit decades-high levels of 6.8 per cent in April. That compares with 57 per cent of households without children.

Imagery may not be everything in politics, but it’s an awful lot, especially for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s optics-obsessed government. And the image that comes to mind of the Trudeau government is that of the Ever Given, the giant container ship that ran aground in the Suez Canal and was stuck there for days.

Canada’s massive boost to its debt levels during the COVID-19 pandemic failed to increase its economic growth compared to 32 other industrialized countries, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.

Using data from the International Monetary Fund, the report says that from 2019 to 2021, Canada had the second-largest increase in its gross debt as a share of the national economy, surpassed only by Japan.

A cut in planned government spending could help tame rampant inflation and reduce pressure on the Bank of Canada to hike interest rates, according to a report from Scotiabank.

The report from the bank’s chief economist Jean-Francois Perrault and modelling director René Lalonde claims that Canadian fiscal policymakers are “doing nothing of any significance to slow inflation at the moment.”

It’s too serious to be funny, but the committee set up to investigate why the Emergencies Act was used has acquired more than a touch of farce.
