Hey CBC do you read anything the LPC tells you to type? "The report — released by the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA), an independent research organization that receives federal funding" https://t.co/EQzXw7bbpk

Fewer than half of Canadians have a high level of trust in “authoritative sources” of information such as government health agencies, public news sources, and scientists, according to internal research by the federal Privy Council.
The Privy Council report, “Misinformation and Disinformation: An international effort using behavioural science to tackle the spread of misinformation,” studied 1,872 Canadians and their “intentions to share false COVID-related headlines online,” using “behavioural interventions.”
Crown corporation faces staff backlash over McKinsey contract, spending decisions
Multimillion-dollar contracts awarded by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) to consulting firm McKinsey, coupled with some unusual spending choices — including a decision to fly a private chauffeur to B.C. to drive the Crown corporation’s president around — are raising eyebrows within the BDC, sources say.
Current and former BDC employees say they’re alarmed at some of the expenses incurred by the BDC under the leadership of president Isabelle Hudon.
Hudon, Canada’s former ambassador to France, was appointed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government in 2021 to head the Crown corporation. The BDC provides loans, venture capital and advisory services to small and medium-sized businesses across Canada.
No drivers for hire in BC?
Consumer furor over rising food prices has reignited anger over the infamous bread price-fixing scandal, which became public in 2017 and allegedly involved several major grocers colluding to inflate bread prices.
“It’s time to get answers,” said anti-poverty activist Irene Breckon, 76, of Elliot Lake, Ont. “It’s not right that the poor people are suffering so much more, and the rich people … keep bumping up their prices.”
According to data released Tuesday, grocery prices have climbed by 11 per cent year over year.
Maybe you saw that report by the CBC’s Marketplace the other day on the cost of wireless telephone service in Canada. If so, maybe your fists have not yet unclenched from the little balls of rage that formed as you watched.
Quoting a recent study by the Finnish research firm Rewheel, the report found the cost per gigabyte of wireless data transmission in Canada is “seven times more expensive than Australia, 25 times more than Ireland and France, and 1,000 times more than Finland.”
Housing Minister Ahmed Hussen’s office admitted Thursday night that his senior staffer is the sister of the director of a foodie communications firm that received $93,050 in constituency funds.
Hussen’s office confirmed that his director of policy, Tia Tariq, is sisters with Hiba Tariq, the director of Munch More Media, the company that has been receiving lucrative contracts to help the York South—Weston MP reach out to constituents.
I have never seen a government that has the unmitigated hatred and contempt of it citizens as Trudeau’s Liberals.
Housing Minister Ahmed Hussen used $93,050 in constituency funds for public relations help from a foodie communications firm with a connection to a former senior staffer, public records show.
House of Commons rules permit MPs to use constituency funds for professional communications work, but Hussen is one of just a handful of cabinet ministers who spent a significant amount on public relations contracts over the past three years.
Because Canada needed an MP for Mogadishu.
The Chinese Consulate in Vancouver asked the province in 2014 to give to a Vancouver-based NGO the driver’s licences of Chinese nationals who had surrendered them in exchange for B.C. licences, according to internal government documents.
The revelation comes amid heightened scrutiny of China’s overseas operations after reports emerged that the communist regime is operating unofficial police service stations abroad.
The NDP, meeting in Ottawa, say they will hold the Trudeau Liberals to account. Quick, tell me another one before I stop laughing!
He believes his own Bullshit … NDP leader says Liberal government is waging war against the working class
OTTAWA – A federal committee overseeing government operations is launching a parliamentary inquiry into contracts awarded to consulting firm McKinsey & Company.
The firm recently came into the spotlight after news reports highlighted the rapid growth of the company’s work with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.
The government says it has awarded 23 contracts to McKinsey since 2015 that are together worth $101.4 million.
While many Canadians struggled and saw their financial health deteriorate during the pandemic, the rich got richer.
A new report by Britain’s Oxfam International found that Canadian billionaires saw their wealth grow by a staggering 51 per cent since the pandemic began.
“This accelerated a trend that was already driving wealth inequality in Canada over the past decade,” Oxfam Canada reported.
Bearing in mind that this is a report from the very rapey folks at Oxfam there is no question we are in a new era of the Robber Baron.
Canada is looking more like a crony capitalist kleptocracy every day under Junior.
OTTAWA – Quebec is taking a dwindling share of Canada’s new immigrants, and significantly less than its proportional national share, as it maintains tight caps on newcomers, even as the Trudeau government continues to open the floodgates to more immigration nationally.
… But Quebec brought in 68,820 people, roughly 15.7 per cent of the immigrants to Canada, despite the province representing nearly 23 per cent of Canada’s population.
By contrast, Ontario took 184,000 newcomers in 2022, 42 per cent of the total who came to Canada, even though Ontario represents 38 per cent of Canada’s population. And British Columbia welcomed more than 61,000 people, almost as many as Quebec did, despite B.C. having a population that is 3.5-million people fewer than Quebec.
The government is never your friend but in Canada they are an outright enemy. Canada’s immigration policy is designed to benefit the Corporate class.
That you and your family may suffer due to shortages in housing, medical care and economic insecurity is brushed aside assuming it was even taken into consideration.
Our mainstream political parties, the LPC, CPC and NDP are all in on the scam hoping to harvest ethnic vote blocs.
The Liberals outsourced Canada’s immigration policy to Dominic Barton and McKinsey & Company.
They just don’t care about you or the havoc mass immigration has on our society.
Quebec noticed. Good for them.
Zeihan’s comments on Canadian immigration are interesting, basically we’re probably fecked.
How did it come to be that silence regarding Anglo-European Canadians became the law of the land?
… Breaking down 2021 federal election results highlights the “strength of the Liberals and NDP in visible minority majority urban ridings and the relative strength of the Conservatives in ridings with between five and twenty percent visible minorities.”
A new report from the National Opinion Centre has delivered a rarity among immigration-related communications in Canada. Among other vital statistics related to Canadian demography, the following statement speaks to the impact of immigration intake in Canada:
“The number of ridings in which visible minorities form a majority of the population has increased from one in ten (33) in 2011 to close to one in six (51), reflecting high and increasing levels of immigration.”
If the “racialized” don’t vote Conservative why does Poilievre’s CPC support mass immigration like Justin and Singh?
Peter Zeihan: Canada’s 5 Problems – Worth a watch, basically our immigration policy is fecked. Kinda funny too.

… Mexico’s market is growing. Yours is not. Your market is protected. Mexico’s is not. The Mexican labor force is complementary to ours. Yours is not. We have a deal with the country that matters, and that isn’t you. We are leaving NAFTA. You know our terms. Take them or leave them. We are moving on.
In a single searing moment of revelation, everything that had guaranteed Canada leverage over America, everything that granted Canada a place in the world, everything that had generated any meaningful international influence, had evaporated. Canada capitulated within days and signed on for NAFTA2.
If you can’t beat them, join them. If you can’t join them because you weren’t born into an excessively wealthy family, eat them. If you can’t eat them (the rich) because they’re people and that’s illegal, steal from them. And then brag about it on Twitter.
Rate of jobs growth more than three times greater than in private sector
We often talk about Canada’s poor productivity and low per capita income growth. What we don’t discuss is productivity in the public sector. The goal of governments may be to make our lives better but is a bigger public service really giving us a higher standard of living?
