Canada’s Corrupt Political Class – Page 31

We should know which politicians got China’s money

Can we take a break from lecturing Americans about the state of their democracy and focus for a bit on problems with our own?

Canadians love to watch from a safe distance when all the horrors and glories of the American political system are on display, as they are this week as we comb through the results of their midterm elections.

We especially love to pat ourselves on the back for the fact that our system is, for the most part, mercifully free of the most extreme elements of U.S. politics. That’s mostly just good for our national self-regard, but it would be a shame if it distracts us from the disturbing possibility that a foreign power has been actively interfering in our own recent national elections, even changing the outcome in at least one case.

From the Star no less.

Bank of Canada signals more rate hikes to come

‘We will come out of this,’ Tiff Macklem pledges as central bank signals more rate hikes to come

In much the same way that Canadian households were forced to adjust on the fly to high and escalating prices, Canada’s job market and overall economy will see some painful changes in the coming months as Canada’s central bank steps up its fight to wrestle inflation into submission.

That was one of the main takeaways of a wide-ranging interview with Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem on Thursday, one in which the central banker said he understands the pain that Canadians are feeling about their finances right now. But he is more resolved than ever that the bank’s actions to establish price stability will be worth it in the long run.

What’s it going to take for the Liberals to crack down on Chinese subterfuge?

God only knows what it’s going to take.

Twelve years ago, the warning came from Richard Fadden, then the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. At least two provincial cabinet ministers and several municipal politicians were more or less puppets of the People’s Republic of China, he said, initially avoiding mentioning China by name, for the sake of discretion. “I’m making this comment because I think it’s a real danger that people be totally oblivious to this kind of issue,” Fadden said at the time.

Unless a very damaging leak emerges nothing will be done.

Canada’s China Class exemplified by sleazebags such as Dominic Barton, currently involved with turning what’s left of Canada into a 3rd world shithole via mass immigration, hold sway with our political class.

Canada has been sold out by our elites.

Freeland Lies and Lies and Lies

Emergencies Act should be ‘once-in-a-generation’ kind of tool: Freeland

Canada’s invocation of the Emergencies Act should be a “once-in-a-generation” move, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters on Wednesday.

… “What Canada faced at just the beginning of this year, actually, was a very serious challenge and threat to our national security and our economic security,” Freeland said.

What horseshit. The Convoy was never a “National Security Threat” and the border blockades had a marginal effect on commerce.

Ottawa warns of China’s growing threat in new Indo-Pacific strategy

Ottawa’s long-awaited Indo-Pacific strategy will call out China as an increasingly disruptive global power, in a reversal of the government’s previous policy of avoiding confrontation with the world’s second-largest economy.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly will outline the broad themes of the government’s new strategy in a major speech to be delivered in Toronto on Wednesday to the Asia Pacific Foundation and the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. An advance copy of the speech was provided exclusively to The Globe and Mail.

Canada has become a hotbed for low-wage foreign labour under Trudeau … Amazon biggest user

Just under a decade ago, the Temporary Foreign Worker program was reeling from a string of controversies – over unpaid wages, the displacement of Canadian workers and the exploitation of migrants.

Justin Trudeau, then the leader of a Liberal Party in third place, penned an op-ed in the Toronto Star in 2014 that outlined a fix for the program. For one, he said it needed “to be scaled back dramatically over time, and refocused on its original purpose: to fill jobs on a limited basis when no Canadian workers can be found.”

But since Mr. Trudeau’s Liberals have come to power, the country has doubled down on its use of foreign labour. At the end of 2021, more than 775,000 people from abroad had temporary work permits, an increase of 92 per cent from 2015, and 600 per cent from 2000.

Fucking evil bastards.

Liberals want you impoverished – working on policies to ensure carbon tax remains in place for years to come

The idea that releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere should cost money — known as carbon pricing — sits at the center of the federal Liberals’ plan to limit climate change, and now they’re working on policies to ensure that it remains in place in Canada for years to come.

Last month, Jonathan Wilkinson, minister of natural resources, told a crowd in downtown Toronto, that the federal Liberals plan to introduce a policy to ensure carbon pricing not only remains in place through at least 2030, but also ramps up during that time, from $50 per tonne to $170 per tonne.

Wilkinson made his comments during a question-and-answer session after a speech to the Canadian Club, saying that industry won’t invest billions of dollars to reduce their carbon emissions until they have “certainty” that carbon pricing won’t be abolished under a future leader.

Chrystia Freeland backs away from ‘out of touch’ comment about Disney+ that upset those stupid poor people she hates

Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland admitted her own privilege Monday as she acknowledged Canadian families’ struggles with the skyrocketing cost of living, after facing criticism over her family’s cost-cutting decision to cancel its Disney+ subscription.

“I am a very privileged person, for sure. Like other elected federal leaders, I am paid a really significant salary. I really recognize that it is not people like me, people who have my really good fortune, who are struggling the most in Canada,” said Freeland in Milton, Ont.

CBC Propagandists: Lets put a happy face on Trudeau’s mass immigration scam

Canada’s plan for more immigrants aims to boost workforce, but experts say they’ll need support

A plan to welcome a record number of immigrants to Canada includes bringing in needed workers, but experts and employers say more could be done to help newcomers arrive and thrive in their new home.

… “If we don’t have immigration, our workforce will not grow,” said Anil Verma, professor emeritus of industrial relations and human resources management at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management.

According to the government’s fall economic statement, “Immigration is core to our identity as Canadians, while also being a key driver of Canada’s economic growth.”

Absolute bullshit. Propaganda designed to serve the corporate class who want as large a pool of wage slaves as possible. That’s what “growing our workforce” means.

Canada lags in productivity because a low dollar and depressed wages serve as subsidies to business. Automation is making its impact felt in many sectors. Justin remains intent on destroying the oil and gas sector despites Freeland’s “Friend shoring” Happy Talk. And the Bank of Canada has told corporate Canada to hold down wages – so they can fight inflation, on the backs of the poor. Are all these immigrants going to learn to code?

Canadian Heritage Department Bought Maple Leaf Pins Made in China

The Department of Canadian Heritage bought over $300,000 worth of maple leaf pins made in China, according to records presented in the House of Commons, despite MPs condemning the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for genocide last year.

According to a House “Inquiry of Ministry” obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, the department has spent exactly $344,513 over the past two years on Chinese-manufactured Canada flag pins.

Not an accident, just everyday Liberal corruption.

Loblaw tops big Canadian grocers in profit reports amid inflation surge: analysis

Canada’s top three grocers all posted higher profits this year compared with their average performances over the last five years, new research from Dalhousie University has found.

Critics have accused grocers of so-called greedflation, suggesting they are profiteering at a time when food prices are rising at the fastest rate in more than 40 years, and researchers say a lack of transparency in their financial results isn’t helping.

GOLDSTEIN: Ford and Trudeau are eroding our democratic rights

Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s use of the Charter’s notwithstanding clause to override collective bargaining rights poses the same threat to democracy as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of the Emergencies Act to override the rights of people protesting vaccine mandates.

Trudeau is guilty as charged but someone has to reign in the teachers & public service unions. Their collective greed impoverishes everyone else.

Free Bird: On Elon Musk and Twitter

In more than a decade on Twitter, Walter Kirn watched as the platform manipulated reality in real-time. Now? ‘Let the wild rumpus begin.’

Let me tell you about my strange time on Twitter, a so-called “social-media platform” of the early 21st century. In what I suspect is the increasing likelihood that digital records of our lives now will someday be erased, mislaid, or virtually composted in such a way as to make them irretrievable, the little story I’m about to tell may make little sense to future generations. It takes place during the period when the American establishment sought to control the flow of information in much the same way it once pursued dominion over resources such as land and oil.

This power grab caused a sort of virtual cold war, and I, as a consumer, a producer, and a conduit of information, got caught in it. Here is how the experience felt and how it went and a statement of what I hope will happen next, now that the purchase of Twitter by Elon Musk promises a better, freer day.

If you want to see media manipulation at work closer to home read the comments at CBC announcing Trudeau’s plan to flood the nation with 500K of immigrants a year. The majority are not in favour of Justin’s plan to sell us out to his corporate friends. The immigration announcement was timed for release after a story was planted in Canadian media outlets this week pushing the lie that Canadians are overwhelmingly in favour of mass immigration. We are governed by criminals.

Trudeau seeks to flood country with new goal of 500K immigrants per year … for your own good of course

The federal government is planning a massive increase in the number of immigrants entering Canada, with a goal of seeing 500,000 people arrive each year by 2025.

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser revealed the new targets Tuesday, saying the move is necessary to ensure Canada’s economic prosperity.

Canadian industries are facing a significant labour shortage, with about one million job vacancies across the country.

Who benefits?

Corporate Canada gets the depressed wages it wants.

Bank of Canada gets to fight inflation on the backs of the working class.

The rich will get richer off the contrived shortages citizens will face in everything from food to shelter.

Trudeau gets to play divide and conquer and hope a few votes come his way.

Be clear about this. Your country is being sold to corporate interests by the Trudeau government.

Sikh independence referendum in Canada unfolds amid angry clashes, India’s condemnation

… The referendum — unofficial and binding on no one — has stirred up passions that are fuelling a spate of anti-Hindu hate incidents here in Canada, charges Manish, India’s acting high commissioner, who goes by just one name.

Attention has focused on the recent defacing of a Hindu temple in Toronto and a nearby statue of Mahatma Gandhi with pro-independence graffiti.

“They’re using Canadian territory for activities which could jeopardize India’s security and interests,” Manish said in an interview. “If the (Canadian) government can do something about (the referendum) and try to prevent it, that would be useful because it only creates a bad atmosphere and incites violence against India and Indians.”
