Communist China’s Useful Idiot Patty Hajdu pens letter to Alberta, asks for science behind plan to lift COVID rules

OTTAWA – Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu has sent a letter to her Alberta counterpart saying she shares concerns about the province’s plan to lift all of its COVID-19 health restrictions.

In the letter, addressed to Alberta Health Minister Tyler Shandro, Hajdu says she agrees with the Canadian Paediatric Society’s description of the move as an “unnecessary and risky gamble.”

She says recent modelling for Alberta forecasts a more serious resurgence in cases fuelled by the Delta variant, and all governments need to take reasonable steps to protect Canadians.

Riding high on vaccines, Trudeau aims to restore ruling majority

Early in the pandemic, Justin Trudeau looked like a man under siege. Atop a minority government, hiding behind a scruffy COVID beard, Canada’s prime minister called the military into infected retirement homes as hospitals filled and drug producers threw up their hands over vaccines.

So it’s all the more remarkable these days to see the newly-shaven, freshly-coiffed 49-year-old Trudeau criss-crossing his country with beaming aides, promoting childcare and green energy, ending travel bans and basking in the unexpected fact that a bigger percentage of Canadians are vaccinated than Americans.

GUNTER: The road to victory for Liberals is wide open

There have been a rash of columns lately across the nation cautioning Justin Trudeau and the Liberals not to assume a majority is in the bag if they call an early election.

Of course, nothing in politics is certain. But if Liberal supporters can’t be pried away from their party over the SNC-Lavalin scandal, in which their party leader openly tried to undermine the justice system; if they can’t see through Trudeau’s blackface antics or his corruption in the WE Charities or his economic incompetence and fiscal ineptitude, what gives the Conservatives, NDP and Bloc any hope they might use the pandemic, for instance, to demonstrate how unfit Trudeau is to govern?

TERRAZZANO: Canada has a divide and it’s between the government and taxpayers

COVID-19 has shone a light on a fundamental divide within Canada: the growing government bureaucracy and those forced to pay for it.

This contrast is illustrated by Statistics Canada’s latest jobs report. The private sector, including those who are self-employed, has shed 520,400 jobs since COVID-19 hit us, while the number of government jobs across the country has increased by 180,000.

Of those new government jobs, 52,900 are public administration bureaucrats.

Canada’s next proposal to censor the internet

Canada’s ruling Liberals are continuing their efforts to bring radical forms of internet censorship to the country’s online space.

The latest proposal, described as a vast and wide-ranging system in Canadian press reports, sets the goal of preventing illegal content from being posted on Facebook, Pornhub, YouTube, and other major platforms. Child pornography and “hate speech” – two very different types of content – are singled out in these reports as examples of what would qualify as illegal under the new law.

Trudeau government ‘buy back’ firearms plan may cost up to $6.7 billion

In May 2020, Prime Minister Trudeau issued an Order-In-Council immediately outlawing more than 1,500 makes and models of “military-style assault weapons,” which would be confiscated in due course. According to the Parliamentary Budget Officer’s recent estimate, it will cost between $47 million and $756 million to compensate or “buy back” now-banned firearms from legal owners. The wide range and higher estimate contrasts with estimates made in February by federal Public Safety Minister Bill Blair who said compensation costs would be between $300 million and $400 million.
