The federal government awarded a $371-million contract to secure personal protective equipment — one of the largest medical supply deals in its history — to a small company headquartered in a house in suburban Ottawa that had no apparent prior experience in PPE procurement.
Proline Advantage Inc.’s tender submission was one of more than 26,000 received by the government through its BuyandSell.gc.ca portal after it put out a call to suppliers last March for help procuring PPE.
Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre was falsely condemned recently for trading in conspiracy theories.
His accusers were Liberals and liberal media who misrepresented what “The Great Reset” of society — advocated by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the World Economic Forum and the United Nations (where it’s called “The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”) — means.
As George Orwell once said of Christianity and socialism, the worst advertisement for environmentalism is its adherents.
In particular, Justin Trudeau in full messianic flow is enough to make even the most ecologically conscious among us request a plastic bag next time we go to the supermarket.
It’s theft.
Far more Liberal donors have been appointed or promoted as judges than donors for other parties since Justin Trudeau was elected, a new tally shows, despite the prime minister’s promise to use a merit-based system.
In total, about 28 per cent of federal judicial appointments or promotions under Trudeau have been people who solely donated to the Liberals in the past, compared to four per cent who were solely Conservative donors and one per cent who were solely NDP donors. A further seven per cent had donated to the Liberals and at least one other party.
Recovery from coronavirus pandemic must include ‘ambitious’ climate change plan: Trudeau
Countries rebuilding from the devastation left by the novel coronavirus pandemic must do so in a way that includes an “ambitious plan to take strong action against climate change,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday.
“We will raise our emission reduction ambitions,” he said in a pre-recorded video. “And in partnership with provinces and territories, we as a country will strive for the upper end of a range of 32 to 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.“
TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford reverted to his pre-pandemic self Friday after the federal government said it would increase the carbon tax every year for a decade and spend $15 billion to reduce emissions.
“Folks, this carbon tax is gonna be the worst thing you could ever see,” Ford said at a press conference about the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I’m a strong believer of protecting the environment. But you don’t have to protect the environment on the backs of the hard-working people of this province and of this country at a time that people are just barely holding on by their fingernails.
After his Liberal government repeatedly assured Canadians prior to last year’s election that his carbon tax would be frozen at $50 per tonne of emissions in 2022, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Friday he will raise it to $170 per tonne by 2030.
That will increase the cost of gasoline by about 38 cents per litre, plus the cost of home heating fuels such as natural gas and oil.
The federal government’s carbon tax in provinces without their own emissions reductions plans will keep rising after 2022 to hit a total of $170 per tonne by 2030 under a major new climate plan unveiled Friday.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and several ministers announced the details of how they plan to fulfil the pledge to get the country to exceed its 2030 emissions reductions targets under the Paris Accord.
The United Nations Environment Program says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is failing to meet his greenhouse gas reduction targets and rich, global elites are fouling the planet with their obscene level of energy consumption.
The UN’s annual emissions gap report, released Wednesday, said even if Canada’s emissions for 2020 are down by the estimated global average of 7% because of the pandemic recession, Trudeau is unlikely to meet his 2020 target of cutting emissions to 17% below 2005 levels.
Only three of seven F-18 fighter jets purchased from Australia by the Canadian government have been integrated into the air force so far, and the Department of National Defence says key upgrades to as much as one-third of Canada’s fighter force will take up to five years, according to documents recently tabled in the House of Commons.
The slow introduction of the used warplanes — meant to bolster Canada’s existing CF-18s squadrons — and the long timeline for radar refurbishment have the opposition Conservatives questioning the value of the interim fleet.
A written government response to questions posed by the Conservatives last October was put before MPs recently. It said that the older fighters will continue to join the Canadian air force “at regular intervals” but did not lay out a precise timeline.
Parliament’s budget watchdog is raising red flags over the lack of details in the Liberal government’s $100-billion stimulus plan, suggesting Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s phone is likely “ringing off the hook” from lobbyists wanting a piece of the action.
The Trudeau Liberal government has proposed a new election voting format that would allow Canadians to vote in person over a several-day period to promote physical distancing.
According to CTV News, the bill will also seek to “Improve access to mail-in voting, including installing ballot drop-off boxes at every polling place, and allowing for online receipts of mail-in ballots.”
After breaking major international news yesterday with the release of The China Files, the topic came up today during question period in the House of Commons.
Ezra Levant and his rambunctious Rebel Media have done Canadians a service, with merit aforethought. Our foreign affairs ministry did Levant a service, unwittingly, by answering an access to information request and forgetting to black out the embarrassing bits. The documents confirm that Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, at the two-year mark of their hostage taking in China, are getting no service at all from the highest levels of our diplomatic bureaucracy. …
The diplomats simply don’t get that this is about what China did unlawfully to the Two Michaels, not about what Canada did lawfully in arresting Meng. It seems superfluous for the PLA to send spies to Petawawa when its propaganda runs rampant on the senior floors of the Pearson building.
The bureaucrats, always punctilious in writing about “Ms. Meng” cannot bring themselves even to mention the Two Michaels by name, referring to them only as “consular cases” as if this might be a dispute about pork tariffs or a lost shipment of peaches, rather than kidnappings.
Canadians owe a debt of gratitude to that GAC functionary who “forgot” to black out the memoranda before sending them to Rebel Media. There were no national security secrets, just the secret attempts by our diplomatic high command to compromise our military secrets and degrade our dignity, quailing before tyranny and not lifting a finger for the Two Michaels.

The Liberal government was dismayed when the Canadian military cancelled winter exercises with China’s People’s Liberation Army, according to top secret documents published Wednesday. …
One of the concerns from the U.S. related to “undesired knowledge transfer” from Canada to China.
A February 2019 memo to Ian Shugart, deputy minister of foreign affairs, reads, “Should Canada make any significant reductions in its military engagement with China, China will likely read this as a retaliatory move related to the Meng Wanzhou case.”
The memo also said that if DND/CAF cancelled other events there should be “careful communication strategies” to avoid it being linked to the Meng case.
(Sidebar: I call bullsh–. The Chinese have no intention of releasing those two men and the Trudeau hand puppets don’t want to upset their Chinese bosses.)
Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun has warned that the recent arrest of Jimmy Lai shows a rise in “political intimidation” against journalists in Hong Kong, part of a systematic erosion of basic freedoms, including religious freedom, by the Chinese government in recent months.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland issued a warning Tuesday to Canadian companies that have tapped into the government’s wage subsidy program: the money is to be used to pay workers, not to pay for dividends or executive bonuses.
“I want to emphasize … for any companies that may be listening, that the wage subsidy must be used to pay workers,” Freeland told members of the House of Commons finance committee Tuesday. “That is very, very clear and we expect companies to comply with that.”
Do you believe a word she says? Does she?
