Danielle Smith expresses concern for independent media amid Trudeau’s censorship efforts

Smith has previously suggested creating a provincial internet firewall to bypass federal internet censorship laws.

Alberta premier Danielle Smith has said she is very “concerned” about new federal legislation that, if passed, would regulate how online news media is shared on social media.

While speaking during a recent radio interview, Smith said that she had been talking with “members of the media,” in particular “the alternative media, who are very concerned about some of the laws that are coming down at the federal level.”

Trudeau’s CBC Lauds Trudeau’s Climate Lunatic

Canadian climate minister’s 1st full year in office was one of cred and compromise

It’s not every day the prime minister asks a rebel to join his cabinet, but for Justin Trudeau, it’s been a well-received gamble.

As his first full year in office wraps, activist-turned-politician Steven Guilbeault is in the midst of hosting the world for the UN’s COP15 conference in Montreal, as Canada’s minister of environment and climate change. It’s the most significant biodiversity conference in over a decade.

COP15 comes on the heels of last month’s heavily attended COP27 — the UN conference for climate negotiations hosted by Egypt.

Rex Murphy Blacklock’s v. Press Gallery

“It is an honour and a privilege.” How often have you heard that worn carpet of a formulation in public speeches, a dead phrase signaling a dull talk. I wish to revive it, to bring it back to actual meaning.

It is an honour and a privilege to be allowed to enter the pages of Blacklock’s and throw a few words out about Blacklock’s armed police eviction from the ever-so-choice, universally admired college of journalistic brilliance and courage, thrower of great annual dinners, the Ottawa Press Gallery.

The Press Gallery version of events…

Matt Taibbi, Douglas Murray Dominate Trust-in-Media Debate – Trucker Convoy featured prominently

Toronto — Conservative commentator Douglas Murray and veteran reporter Matt Taibbi soundly defeated their opponents in a Wednesday evening debate on the question of whether to trust the mainstream media, convincing a significant segment of the audience to abandon their faith in an institution they say is hopelessly compromised by bias.

… The Canadian trucker protests featured prominently in the debate. During Murray’s opening remarks, the British commentator and fellow National Review contributor, laid into Prime Minister Trudeau and Canadian media outlets for failing to challenge the government-approved narrative that the protests were organized by bigots of various stripes.

“The Canadian mainstream media acted as an amen chorus of the Canadian government,” Murray argued. “Now why is this is rancid? So utterly, utterly, rancid and corrupt? Because in this country your media–your mainstream media–is funded by the government.”

Mendicino’s Spokesperson Was ‘Encouraging’ Journalists to Find Dirt on Convoy Protesters, Text Messages Reveal

According to text message exchanges summitted to the Emergencies Act inquiry, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s communications director was “encouraging” journalists to investigate who the convoy protesters were before their arrival and where their crowd-sourced funds came from, apparently without knowing if there were any particular concerns to be unearthed.

49% believe Trudeau’s immigration plan will admit too many immigrants to Canada – Leger Poll

CANADIAN POLITICS: IMMIGRATION AND THE CARBON TAX

  • 49% of Canadians think the Government of Canada’s immigration plan will admit too many immigrants to Canada.
  • 75% of Canadians are concerned the immigration plan will result in excessive demand for housing and health and social services.
  • 77% of Canadians agree the carbon tax on gasoline, diesel and home heating fuels should be frozen until high inflation passes.

You can read the report here and the brief here.

This contradicts the bullshit polls put out by our scumbag corporate class suggesting Canadians just love the notion we need 100 million immigrants.

They lie because they are evil.

Sycophants At CBC Laud Trudeau’s Latest Waste Of Money As If It’s Coming Out Of His Own Pocket & Not Taxpayers

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled a slew of funding announcements in Cambodia on Saturday aimed at deepening economic and academic ties with Southeast Asia, after decades of sporadic engagement with the region.

“This is a generational shift,” Trudeau told leaders gathered in Phnom Penh for a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

“I am announcing concrete investments that are part of our commitment to this relationship,” he said, before listing $333 million in new funding.

What an awful state of affairs, we are held hostage by a despised man-child and his equally hated errand boy.

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.

OPP saw no evidence Freedom Convoy posed direct threat to national security: intelligence officer

The economic nightmare that wasn’t? Border blockades had little effect on trade, data reveals

Hail Mary By Justin’s Journos – Let’s run with that “Foreign ‘adversaries’ may have leveraged ‘freedom movement’ to ‘advance agendas’ angle … again

Unnamed foreign “adversaries” may have leveraged the Canadian “freedom movement” protests to advance their own interests, a newly-disclosed intelligence report suggest.

According to previously secret assessments by the Ontario Provincial Police’s (OPP) intelligence branch, the “available information” on Feb. 19 suggested that foreign actors may have pushed support for the movement, which fueled the convoy blockades in Ottawa and across the country, “to protect or enhance their own strategic economic and political interests.”

Again? First they did then they didn’t, now they did! Anything for Justin!

OPP Intelligence Head Concerned With False Allegations of Extremism made by Politicians, Media Against Convoy Protesters

“So when I read accounts that the state of Russia had something to do with it, or that this was a result of American influence, either financially or ideologically, or that Donald Trump was behind it, or that it was un-Canadian, or that the people participating were un-Canadian and that they were not Canadian views and they were extremists, I found it to be problematic.”

Wow an honest public servant. Compare and contrast with Justin, the CBC and the rest of those frauds.

Canadian MPs across the spectrum see threats to democracy: ‘There’s no common middle ground’

 

OTTAWA — In a troubled world, Canadian democracy endures. But some sitting members of Parliament are worried — for various reasons — that it is getting weaker.

Ryan Turnbull is one of them. The Liberal MP for Whitby was first elected in 2019, and sees the problem through the lens of his education in philosophy: the ideal of democracy allows for public debate on a common ground of fact and reality, but Turnbull believes persistent misinformation and its self-serving weaponization by some politicians is threatening this shared basis for a functioning public discourse.

Mostly this is LPC, NDP and Elizabeth May griping about the scary convoy and such. The Star’s is gonna need a bigger fainting couch.

CBC Has Nervous Breakdown! Convoy donors gave more than $460K to CPC leadership race — and many were first-time federal donors

Canadians who donated to the Ottawa convoy protest contributed more than $460,000 to Conservative leadership candidates — and many of them were donating to a federal political party for the first time — an analysis by CBC News shows.

A comparison of donations to Conservative leadership contenders up to Aug. 1 with the GiveSendGo crowdfunding campaign for the convoy protest found over 3,100 people who contributed to both campaigns, based on identical combinations of names and postal codes.

The lion’s share of convoy donors’ leadership campaign donations went to Pierre Poilievre’s campaign.

OMG! Convoy supporters donated! And many were 1st time donors! That must be against the law!
