The Liberals’ ‘Truck Tax’ Represents The Worst Kind of Class Warfare

The Trudeau regime’s proposed taxing of new pickup trucks in Canada has to be called out more often for what it is: obviously mean-spirited, and a form of targeted class warfare against blue-collar workers.

This type of tax already exists on the purchase of larger “fuel-inefficient” SUVs, but also extends to people carrier/work vehicles like vans and station wagons. The earlier SUV/people carrier tax is mean-spirited in its own regard and should be abolished, however, this prior law did not apply to the purchase of new pick-up trucks.

Until now.

This latest proposed tax is a step into total lunacy, and amounts to an attack on the concept of working for a living (although it’s not that surprising to find this coming from the Trudeau regime.

Oh The Horror! Justin Trudeau is being asked to hand over secret information linked to convoy protest

OTTAWA—The public inquiry into the federal government’s unprecedented use of the Emergencies Act is asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to provide information currently kept secret under cabinet confidence principles, stressing the need for transparency and openness as it studies why the controversial decision was made to deal with the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests this year.

In documents published Wednesday, the Public Order Emergency Commission conducting the inquiry said the starting point of its study is to look at why the Liberal government invoked the act for the first time since it became law in 1988.

“It is the government that must explain its decision to do so,” the documents say. “In light of this, the commission has asked the government to disclose … the information, including advice and information that may be protected by cabinet confidence or any applicable privilege.”

Trudeau’s Gun Grab – More US Reaction

Trudeau’s Gun Ban Would Have ‘No Chance’ Under U.S. Constitution: Expert

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new proposed gun restrictions have raised concerns that similar measures could be pushed in the U.S., but these types of reform would be barred under the U.S. Constitution, according to one expert.

The U.S. gun control debate was again pushed to the forefront last week following the mass shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead. Trudeau’s proposed measures, which would place a national ban on handgun sales if passed by the Canadian parliament, have drawn strong criticism from U.S. conservatives who worry that similar measures could be introduced in America.


Trudeau is blasted for handgun ban in wake of Texas massacre as critics say most crimes in Canada are committed with illegal weapons smuggled in from USA

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing backlash over his calls to implement a ‘national freeze’ on handgun ownership in his country in the wake of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

Critics claim his new proposed ban will do nothing to protect citizens as many guns ‘are already illegal’ and the ‘freeze’ doesn’t tackle the ‘root cause’ of the crime problem, which is gun smuggling.


On gun reform, neighboring Canada takes a different tack

The Canadian government’s swift push this week for tough new limits on firearms is adding fuel to the fierce debate over gun reform south of the border in the United States, where last week’s shooting massacre at a Texas elementary school has sparked Congress’s latest effort to curb endemic gun violence — and triggered new questions about why U.S. policymakers have been so ineffective at doing so.


“Dystopian future”: Republicans cry “communism” after Canada cracks down on guns after mass shooting

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday announced a new proposal cracking down on “military-style assault weapons” and handgun sales, triggering alarm among Republicans in the U.S. who have resisted any gun restrictions in the wake of deadly mass shootings.

Trudeau announced a mandatory buyback program targeting assault weapons and new regulations that will ban sales and imports of handguns. The legislation is expected to pass.

Liberals End Debate On The Online News Act

Bill C-18 – the Online News Act – will no longer be debated.

The Liberals – along with the support of the NDP – voted to end debate on the legislation.

As noted by Michael Geist, this means that the Liberal heritage minister – in charge of pushing the legislation – spent more time debating the end of debate on C-18 than he did debating the legislation itself.

A reminder (since Trudeau apparently forgot) that Canadian gun law is already way stricter than the U.S.

After word leaked earlier this month that the U.S. Supreme Court was set to overturn federal guarantees on abortion, Trudeau immediately issued a statement touting how “every woman in Canada has a right to a safe and legal abortion.” When Black Lives Matter protests roiled the United States last summer, Trudeau was quick to “take a knee” for photographers on the streets of Ottawa. And now, after a mass shooter killed 19 at an elementary school in Texas last week, Trudeau has responded with a slate of new restrictions on Canadian gun ownership.

24 Hours With Trudeau: Guns Seized, Vaccine Lockdown, Internet Censorship

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has had a busy 24-hours. Within a one day period, the newly established Liberal-NDP Socialist Coalition government accomplished the following tasks:

Passed legislation to ban and collect handguns. Shut down Parliamentary debate regarding Internet Censorship. Overthrow opposition Conservative motion to end Covid lockdowns for the unvaccinated.

A triple play of draconian measures it is. Smooth sailing through the House of Commons it was, thanks to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s agreement to play back up goalie for Justin Trudeau’s pseudo-communist Liberal team.

Guilbeault’s past unlawful acts emboldening eco-terrorists?

During the Conservative leadership debate on May 11, Pierre Poilievre took the moderator to task for not mentioning an eco-terrorist attack on a pipeline project in British Columbia when listing recent attacks on critical infrastructure.

On Feb. 17, around 20 masked assailants – some wielding axes – engaged in a co-ordinated attack on a Coastal GasLink construction site in northwestern British Columbia. They commandeered heavy equipment and inflicted damage on property, along with psychological terror on the workers.

Bill Blair, minister of emergency preparedness, said Canada was “very different from the United States”. “In Canada, gun ownership is a privilege, not a right,” he said. “This is a principle that differentiates ourselves from many other countries in the world, notably our colleagues and friends to the south. In Canada, guns are only intended to be used for hunting and sport purposes.”

National handgun ‘freeze’ among new firearm regulations proposed by Ottawa

A national freeze on importing, buying or selling handguns is a central feature of firearm-control legislation tabled today by the federal Liberals.

The government says the bill would also allow for the removal of gun licences from people involved in acts of domestic violence or criminal harassment, such as stalking.

The government plans to fight gun smuggling and trafficking by increasing criminal penalties, providing more tools to investigate firearms crimes and strengthening border measures.

Government tables bill to freeze sale, imports of handguns

New gun control legislation the federal government tabled today includes a national freeze on the purchase, sale, importation and transfer of handguns in Canada — the government’s most ambitious attempt yet to restrict access to firearms in this country.

While the proposal falls short of a full ban on handguns, it would effectively limit the number of them in Canada.

“In other words, we’re capping the market for handguns,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a press conference Monday.

Until now only criminals were interested in smuggled guns. Now normal citizens will have no choice.
