Canada’s Corrupt Political Class

NDP MP Niki Ashton who is rarely on Parliament Hill billed taxpayers for travel with family over Christmas

Socialism for Nikki means you foot the bill.

An NDP MP who frequently joins parliamentary proceedings remotely from her riding billed the House of Commons for a trip she took to reportedly meet with “stakeholders” over the Christmas holidays in Quebec — travel that included bringing her husband and kids along at taxpayers’ expense.

Parliamentary travel records indicate NDP MP Niki Ashton was only in Ottawa on one occasion for four days during the fall 2022 sitting.

But on Dec. 21 of that year, Ashton flew from Thompson, Man. to Ottawa — five days after the House of Commons had already risen for its Christmas break.

Ruling Class Concerned Public Developing Zero Tolerance For Their Bullshit

Garage set on fire. Smashed windows. MPs and elected officials are rattled by rising intimidation and threats — and ‘someone is going to get seriously hurt’

OTTAWA — It seems only a matter of time before an elected official in Canada gets seriously hurt.

In March, somebody set fire to the garage at Liberal MP Brendan Hanley’s Yukon home.

No one was injured in the blaze that destroyed the garage, two cars and a motorbike, but it left him “shocked,” profoundly shaken, and fearful about the safety of his family, neighbours and those close to him.

Jesse Kline: ‘Independent’ senators give themselves cover to block Poilievre’s agenda

Talk about whether the Senate would thwart the will of the elected House whenever a change of government is expected in Ottawa is almost a right of passage in Canadian politics. And even though Prime Minister Justin Trudeau packed the upper chamber with ostensibly independent senators, the debate remains the same this time around.

‘Divorced from reality’: Why Canadians are losing patience with public servants

Ottawa bureau chief Stuart Thomson talks to Brian Lee Crowley, the managing director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, about the government’s return-to-office plan for public servants.

Although public service unions have reacted angrily to the plan, recent polling shows that Canadians generally support government employees spending more time in the office and less time at home.

Power Corp’s 50+ years behind Quebec prime ministers

Have you ever wondered why Canada has been run by Quebecers for most of the past 60 years? The answer begins with a book almost 100 years old.

In his 1928 book Propaganda, the father of public relations Edward Bernays wrote,

“A presidential candidate may be ‘drafted’ in response to ‘overwhelming popular demand,’ but it is well known that his name may be decided upon by half a dozen men sitting around a table in a hotel room.

“In some instances the power of invisible wirepullers is flagrant.”

Chris Alexander: I am a former immigration minister. Unsustainable population increases won’t solve Canada’s underlying issues

In March, the Globe and Mail reported that Canada’s population had grown by 1.3 million in 2023—the largest annual increase on record.

This surge was driven by higher numbers of immigrants, international students, temporary foreign workers, and asylum claimants.

Given that the 2021 census showed that 8.3 million Canadians, or 23 percent of our population, had an immigrant background, this latest increase means that, in a Canada of over 40 million people, one in four of us is a temporary or permanent resident, or was born abroad. This proportion of newcomers is the highest since Confederation, beating the previous record of 22.3 percent set in 1921. By comparison, the immigrant share of the U.S. population is today about 14 percent.

Anthony Furey: The Sheldon Keefe Firing Offers a Lesson for the Public Sector

The firing of Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe on May 9 was a perfect case study in why sometimes you just need to shake things up a little bit and let someone go from your operation. If only the public sector operated the same way.

This NHL playoffs season there was, as always, great hope that the Leafs would beat the odds and go the distance. But as round one against Boston went into game seven there was, as always, broken hearts as the Leafs lost in overtime.

The Liberal’s immigration policies have accomplished the opposite of what was intended

… But many are simply seeking to stay here while their claim works its way through a system that is already so overwhelmed some claimants are living in homeless shelters or on the street and it can take several years before the Immigration and Refugee Board reaches a final decision on an application.

The worst thing about all this? The Liberals’ immigration policies have accomplished the very opposite of what they intended: They have undermined support for immigration.

I prefer to think of it as Canadians waking up to the Big Lie of immigration policy in Canada.

Immigration policy was never designed to benefit Canadians.

It was designed to benefit the corporate class and the political class at our expense.

We will continue to pay dearly for sleepwalking through our nations destruction and must remain on guard against those who lie about mass immigration’s alleged benefits.

Lecce tells Peel District School Board to drop Nakba politics … However DEI/CRT inspired anti-White “social justice” programs will remain A-OK

Stephen Lecce has a message for the Peel District School Board: Stop with the divisive politics.

Ontario’s education minister has reached out to officials at the Peel board to tell them to reverse course on including Nakba Day on school calendars of days to commemorate.

Your kid will still find lots of support if they want to add or remove a dick.

I am happy they slapped down the Nakba nonsense but why then does it remain open season on White kids?

How a ballooning public sector is reshaping Canada’s economy

In the final weeks of the 2015 federal election that would sweep Justin Trudeau to power, the Liberal leader penned an open letter to Canada’s federal civil servants promising that if he were elected, government workers would be a lot better off than they were under the last guy. “I have a fundamentally different view than Stephen Harper of our public service,” he wrote. “Where he sees an adversary, I see a partner.”

By the time throngs of cheering, selfie-snapping bureaucrats mobbed Mr. Trudeau days after he was sworn in as prime minister, it was clear the dynamic between the federal government and its hundreds of thousands of employees was about to shift dramatically after years of acrimony and cuts.

The Liberals are creating a ruling class.

Growth of government undermines Canadian economy: report

Combined federal, provincial and municipal government spending across Canada accounts for 40.5% of the entire Canadian economy, far above the ideal level of 26% to 30% needed to maximize economic growth, according to a study by the Fraser Institute released Tuesday.

That’s how you buy public service union votes.

Winnipeg man was member of Chinese military branch behind cyber attacks on Canada, officials allege

A military veteran who spent 20 years in uniform, Lieutenant Colonel Huajie Xu now lives on a quiet street in Winnipeg.

But he did not serve in Canada’s armed forces.

Instead, he was a member of China’s People’s Liberation Army, according to records obtained by Global News.

Before arriving in Canada in 2021, Xu worked at the military academy of the Chinese cyber warfare department that hacks Canadians and steals their secrets.

Cory Morgan: RCMP Report Warning of Growing Civil Unrest Due to Declining Living Standards Must Be Heeded

A redacted version of a report crafted by Canada’s RCMP titled “Whole-of-Government Five-Year Trends for Canada” has been released and it warns Canada could soon descend into civil unrest due to several factors, including a bleak economic outlook.

Canada was once known as one of the most easygoing nations on earth. Canadians were quick to apologize and polite to a fault. It was never imagined this population of passive, laid-back people could experience large-scale civil disorder and pushback against authorities. Recent events have exposed a nation frustrated with the actions of its government to the point of bringing citizens to the streets in protest, and the RCMP expects this trend to become more acute.
