Canada: No Country for Young Men

Canada: No Country for Young Men

Canada has signed away its future. A country that once had a great deal going for it—abundant natural resources; a vibrant energy sector; a viable debt-to-GDP ratio; a tradition of civic decorum maintained even during a brief period of Quebec-secessionist discord; an aversion to foreign adventures; and a commendable standard of living, among the highest in the world—has squandered its many advantages and blessings in an excess of poor electoral decisions and civic indifference to its national welfare.

Of course, like any country, Canada has had its share of problems—language issues between French and English, a much-abused, asymmetrical equalization or fund-transferring formula between provinces, the Native victimhood industry—but it had managed to deal with them without protracted or endemic violence such as one sees in many other nations.

But there is no doubt that the country is dying.

‘A massive blow to his integrity and credibility’: Conservatives blindsided by Erin O’Toole’s carbon pricing plan

OTTAWA–There was no hint when Conservative caucus met Wednesday that Erin O’Toole was about to reverse party orthodoxy and propose a carbon levy.

Sources who spoke to the Star said Conservative MPs were blindsided by O’Toole’s announcement Thursday that his climate change plan included a consumer carbon price of $20 per tonne, rising to $50 per tonne in 2030.

It was a stunning reversal for the Conservative leader, who pledged to scrap the Liberal government’s carbon levy — which Conservatives have routinely labelled a “carbon tax” — throughout the party’s leadership contest last year.

But in speaking to Conservative MPs, and later at an Ottawa news conference, O’Toole steadfastly denied that his proposed price on carbon amounted to a “carbon tax.”

Douglas Todd: Canadian real-estate market better for foreign investors than locals, admits Trudeau government housing secretary Adam Vaughan

Canadians can be grateful Ottawa’s parliamentary secretary for housing isn’t afraid of saying what’s on his mind in front of a microphone.

Liberal apparatchiks must be going squirrely after loquacious MP Adam Vaughan inadvertently outed what has been the party’s real scheme on housing for six years — pushing a policy that only worsens extreme unaffordability in cities like Toronto and Vancouver.

Canada’s immigration policy does not benefit Canadian citizens unless you’re a member of the ruling class. We are a Banana Republic.

Air Canada, Trudeau government reach agreement to fleece Tax Payers in $5.9-billion ‘liquidity program’

OTTAWA — Air Canada and the federal government have reached an agreement on a $5.9-billion aid package that the company says will speed up customer refunds, protect industry jobs and return service to some communities that were shuttered due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a news release, Air Canada said the $5.879-billion liquidity agreement is provided through the government’s Large Employer Emergency Financing Facility (LEEFF) program and includes $4 billion in loans, a $500-million investment in Air Canada stock and a separate $1.4-billion loan to help facilitate customer refunds.

Boy am I shocked.

Rex Murphy: The facts in the WE scandal are clear. It’s not complicated

… The point here is plain. Why does it take months to make a ruling on what is, substantially, a very limited and understood question? Did Justin Trudeau’s engagements, his multiple appearances as a high-banner speaker at WE Day events, and his therefore obviously friendly relationship with Craig and Marc Kielburger, play any part in the decision, since abandoned, to pay the brothers’ WE Charity up to $43.5 million to run a program worth almost $1 billion? Were any other organizations consulted, offered an opportunity to apply for management of that program, or was WE plucked out because of its high profile with the prime minister? Was this a plain conflict of interest or the plain appearance of a conflict of interest, which in this context, are more or less the same thing?

Trudeau’s ‘Green transition’ could ̷d̷i̷s̷p̷l̷a̷c̷e̷ destroy the jobs of the majority of Canada’s energy workers: report

Three-quarters of the Canadians employed in oil and gas could lose their jobs as the country pursues aggressive climate targets, according to a new report that warns governments must develop worker transition plans now to prevent disastrous consequences.

If they don’t, workers could face displacement similar to that of the U.S. and Canadian manufacturing sectors in the 1990s and early 2000s, when automation and technological changes led to a decline in manual jobs across the economy.

The report by TD Economics for release on Tuesday estimates that by 2050, up to 450,000 of Canada’s current 600,000 direct and indirect oil and gas jobs could become casualties of falling demand for fossil fuel as more countries and companies commit to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

In a democracy, the government shouldn’t fund the media

When I was training to become a Chartered Accountant (now Chartered Professional Accountant or CPA) one of the most important lessons they drilled into us was the notion of independence. When conducting an audit, the auditor signing off on the auditor’s report cannot be related to or best friends with the owner of the company being audited or be heavily invested as a shareholder.

Green energy isn’t viable without subsidies: Audit

Federal auditors are calling the Renewable Energy Deployment Program a “market failure.”

An internal report at the Department of Natural Resources that looked at the program from 2002-19 says without subsidies, few green energy projects like solar panels, wind farms, and geothermal projects can survive financially, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

Oh sure. Next they’ll be telling us that insiders have made a fortune on these scams.

Tam criticized for supporting ‘indefensible’ assessment of COVID-19 risk

An expert who worked on the Auditor-General’s report that criticized Canada’s lack of preparation for COVID-19 says the government’s risk assessments were “an utter failure” and cannot be defended.

Wesley Wark, an adjunct professor at the University of Ottawa who analyzed the risk assessments during the onset of the outbreak, said Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam’s remarks last week that sought to justify those assessments are “defending the indefensible.”

Tam is China’s puppet.

Tories demand Trudeau testify on WE Charity deal after Liberals reject hearing from PM staff

Tories demand Trudeau testify on WE Charity deal after Liberals reject hearing from PM staff

OTTAWA — The conditions for a brawl appear to be set after Government House Leader Pablo Rodriguez announced that he will testify at a parliamentary committee about the now-dead WE deal on Monday, rather than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or members of his staff.

In a letter to the chair of the House of Commons ethics committee on Sunday, Rodriguez said that one of Trudeau’s senior advisers had been instructed not to appear before the committee — and that he will be attending in his place.

More Liberal crap…

FUREY: The carbon tax ruling is judicial activism at its worst

Take a look at a couple of sentences about climate change that appeared Thursday concerning the Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling on the carbon tax.

Here’s one: “It is a threat of the highest order to the country, and indeed to the world.” And here’s another: “The undisputed existence of a threat to the future of humanity cannot be ignored.”

Tsk… “Judicial Activism” is just a right wing conspiracy theory!

Ignoring years of institutionalized Trudeau Idolatry the CBC pontificates on how US Media has lost public trust

How U.S. media lost the trust of the public

A global pandemic, historic anti-racism protests and a turbulent U.S. presidential election had Americans glued to their screens in 2020 like never before. Cable news ratings soared, online news subscriptions increased and the amount of time we all spent online broke records.

But as people consumed more news, they also began to trust the media less, surveys showed. According to a recent Gallup survey, the percentage of Americans with no trust in the mass media hit a record high in 2020: only nine per cent of respondents said they trust the mass media “a great deal” and a full 60 per cent said they have little to “no trust at all” in it.

The American media landscape has become increasingly polarized over the last few decades.

Hard hitting unbiased CBC  political coverage… paid for by you.

The Price China Never Paid for its ‘Hostage Diplomacy’

The Price China Never Paid for its ‘Hostage Diplomacy’

After Canada arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. extradition request on Dec. 1, 2018, Beijing warned Canada of “serious consequences” if she wasn’t freed. It carried through with its threat a few days later, when it detained Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. After that, the regime blocked Canadian agricultural imports to China.

Ottawa has adopted stronger language of late over the arrest of the two Canadians, in contrast to its earlier, noticeably softer tone, which typically praised China for the economic benefit it presents before calling out the regime’s hostilities.

Supreme Court of Canada upholds “constitutionality” of federal carbon tax theft

The Supreme Court of Canada on Thursday has given the federal government the constitutional green light to impose a carbon tax on the provinces.

The decision was the culmination of years of disputes between some provinces and the federal government over the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (GGPPA). The law, which was introduced in 2018, laid out a national framework for pricing carbon – one that applies to everyday consumers as well as industrial emitters.

Taxes used to be the cost of maintaining the social contract, now it’s just theft by the ruling class.

Canada’s China Class At Work: Trudeau bet on China over Canada at height of pandemic

Canada’s China Class At Work: Trudeau bet on China over Canada at height of pandemic

I’d like to call myself an optimist, but maybe I’m actually a fool for believing that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government will ever change when it comes to dealing with China.

They’ve made some steps over the past week or so rallying international support to condemn the mock trials of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, but I still have lingering doubts that they’re truly going to change.

We were betrayed by Canada’s China class. It is my hope that they one day be regarded in the same light as those who collaborated with Hitler.
