Former Liberal Party president stunned by Trudeau’s support

Former Liberal Party president stunned by Trudeau’s support

A former president of the Liberal Party says Justin Trudeau is surrounded by people in cabinet way over their heads – and he has no idea why Canadians support him.

Stephen LeDrew, Liberal Party president from 1998-2002, said past Liberal prime minister’s had a strong cabinet behind them, something Trudeau lacks.

“You look around the cabinet today and they’re all nice people, they’re all trying their hardest. But most of them have no experience in anything…it’s Trudeau, Dominic Leblanc and other people who really know nothing about public policy or good government,” said Ledrew, who ran also ran John Turner’s campaign to succeed the elder Trudeau.

Trudeau Celebrates Biden: We Have ‘So Much Alignment’

Trudeau Celebrates Biden: We Have ‘So Much Alignment’

On Friday, asked about the decision by President Joe Biden to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau touted the “alignment” between himself and Biden as well as Canadians and Biden, saying they were “much more aligned on values.”

As you read this you’ll realize how truly fecked Canada is.

Rex Murphy: A mini-exodus for our time – resignations from the Trudeau government

“To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.” — Oscar Wilde, The Importance of being Earnest.

There has been much commentary on the precipitous departure via resignation of Julie Payette from the Office of Governor General. The most telling, to my judgment, came from the always elegant laptop of Father Raymond J. de Souza in Saturday’s edition of this paper.

Kelly McParland: Why do Canadians keep re-electing this error-prone government?

You have to wonder who’s telling Trudeau it’s a good idea to start planning an election now

Justin Trudeau has so many judgment errors racked up as prime minister you have to wonder who’s telling him it’s a good idea to start planning an election.

The Aga Khan trip. Election reform. The India costume parade. SNC-Lavalin. Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott. The Kielburger brothers and the WE fiasco. Blackface. Vaccine rollout. Julie Payette. It’s not even necessary to provide details; they’re so familiar people recognize them in shorthand. It raises the question of how much the prime minister thinks before he acts.

He must have had some good stuff: Liberals oust Brampton Centre MP for making ‘baseless and dangerous accusations’ against caucus colleagues

OTTAWA—The federal Liberals have kicked out of caucus Brampton Centre MP Ramesh Sangha, charging him with making “baseless and dangerous accusations against a number of his caucus colleagues.”

In a statement, the chief government whip Mark Holland says that he learned about the allegations late last week and consulted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau immediately.

“The necessary steps were taken. As of this afternoon, Mr. Sangha has been removed from the Liberal caucus,” said Holland, who has not yet replied to a request for clarification.

I smell the usual LPC faggotry.

HARRIS: Killing Keystone, Biden’s gift to Trudeau

HARRIS: Killing Keystone, Biden’s gift to Trudeau

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is right to charge the federal government with being weak in their response to President Joe Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline.

Considering that it will cost Canada billions of dollars and thousands of well-paying jobs across the country, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s statement that, “we are disappointed but acknowledge the President’s decision to fulfil his election campaign promise” is pretty weak tea.

Justin’s plan for you – Sustainable Green Impoverishment: Biden rolls out Trump-like ‘Made in America’ executive order

President Biden spent the first week of his administration taking executive action reversing many of former President Donald Trump’s signature policies, but on Monday, he will sign an order that has the hallmarks of Trumpism.

Biden will direct his federal government on Monday to update laws and regulations governing how it spends roughly $600 billion a year on contracts for goods and services. The order attempts to strengthen existing provisions giving workers and manufacturers in the United States preferential treatment, some of which haven’t been changed since 1954.

Specifically, Biden is asking agencies to tighten the requirements that need to be met for a product to be considered made in the U.S. He’s also requesting that they make it tougher for the government to justify buying foreign goods because of the price.


Forget Keystone! Justin will ask for an exemption for Canadian goods.

Yea, sure he will, just not too hard.

And when Biden’s people say no or grant some concession that likely benefits Quebec above all others he’ll secretly smile that his plan for a “green economy” has just been given another booster shot.

Canada didn’t start Keystone XL dispute — the president did, Kenney says in rebuke of Biden

Alberta’s premier has offered another sharp rebuke of the U.S. president’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline, going so far as to accuse him of showing “disrespect for America’s closest friend and ally.”

In an interview with The West Block’s Mercedes Stephenson, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney criticized newly inaugurated president Joe Biden’s decision to block the US$8-billion cross-border energy project on his first day in office.

For Justin Trudeau, Joe Biden and Julie Payette provided welcome distractions from a more dangerous political problem

For Justin Trudeau, Joe Biden and Julie Payette provided welcome distractions from a more dangerous political problem

Where to start?

Justin Trudeau’s hand-picked governor-general resigned in disgrace.

Hours into his presidency, Joe Biden killed the Keystone pipeline project.

It adds up to a rocky week for the prime minister. And yet it could have been worse, for the big clouds of the past few days came with a political silver lining for the government. There are times when one storm does chase another.

Without Donald Trump’s much-awaited exit from the White House and Julie Payette’s unceremonious departure from Rideau Hall, Trudeau was destined to spend the week on centre stage, tied to a vaccine hot seat.

ANDERSON: If Ottawa Won’t Sanction the US, Alberta Must Sanction Ottawa

ANDERSON: If Ottawa Won’t Sanction the US, Alberta Must Sanction Ottawa

Within hours of taking office, newly elected US President Joseph R. Biden Jr. withdrew the US federal permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, effectively killing the project on the spot.

Biden is of course, likely clueless as to the facts surrounding Keystone. He likely has no idea, nor does he care about the tens of thousands of jobs he just terminated, the financial opportunities for indigenous groups he just destroyed, and the children he just introduced to welfare.

Inside Alberta’s very bad week: A behind-the-scenes look at the killing of Keystone XL

 

EDMONTON/CALGARY – The Alberta government’s trade office in Washington, D.C. called home last week with grim tidings: Rumours were circulating the U.S. capital that President Joe Biden was planning to scrap the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office.

It set off a wave of alarm. The Alberta government worked through the weekend to prepare its response strategy and a flurry of phone calls were placed between Ottawa, representatives in Washington and to the TC Energy headquarters in Calgary. On Sunday, news outlets reported on a Biden team transition memo that said the death of Keystone XL was coming.

The fix was in. KXL’s cancellation fits the LPC agenda perfectly. Impoverish Canadians and call it building a “sustainable green economy.”

Tse Chi Lop: Chinese drug lord with Canadian passport of convenience arrested in Amsterdam

Dutch police arrest Chinese-born Canadian national who allegedly runs multibillion-dollar drug syndicate

Dutch police said on Saturday they had arrested the alleged leader of a multibillion-dollar drug syndicate who is listed as one of the world’s most-wanted fugitives and has been compared to Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.

Tse Chi Lop, a Chinese-born Canadian national, was detained on Friday at the request of Australian police, who led an investigation that found his organization dominates the $70 billion-a-year Asia-Pacific drug trade, Dutch police spokesperson Thomas Aling said.

Tse is expected to be extradited after appearing before a judge, Aling said, adding that his arrest by national police took place without incident at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.

I love how CBC describes him as a “Canadian national.” Like so many others his passport was likely purchased under a government investment scam making us complicit in his criminal activities.
