PM’s national security adviser says Convoy organizers intended to overthrow Trudeau like its a BAD THING!

Convoy organizers had extreme aims, says PM’s national security adviser

Extremism was at play amid the trucker convoy protests and blockades, and there is “no doubt” that some of the organizers who came to Ottawa did so with the intention of overthrowing the government, according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s top security adviser.

Jody Thomas says in unpacking what went down during the convoy protests, the clearing of them, and the divisions the whole ordeal exposed, Canada needs to take seriously the rise of domestic ideologically-motivated violent extremism.

Two months ago, Thomas took on the key job as Trudeau’s national security and intelligence adviser after a long career in the federal public service.

Career civil servant. That’s your ruling class at work Canada.

TERRAZZANO: Politicians, bureaucrats shielded from pain they cause

There are now 305,200 more government jobs across Canada than there were pre-pandemic

Politicians and government decision-makers are financially divorced from the Canadians they’re supposed to represent — and it shows.

… Federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland claims Canada has “more than recovered lost jobs” during the pandemic. But whose jobs have been recovered?

There are now 305,200 more government jobs across Canada than there were pre-pandemic, but 272,800 fewer jobs outside of government.

Then there’s the three-decades-high inflation.

This is why Ottawa was freaked out by the Truckers. Our predator class public servants came face to face with the peons they rob and it scared them.

More Government Workers, Fewer Self-Employed: What That Means for Canada’s Economy

The percentage of self-employed Canadians is the lowest it’s been in almost 35 years, while public sector employment is at its highest percentage in nearly 30—and neither trend bodes well for the economy.

Just 2.6 million Canadians identified as self-employed in October, according to Statistics Canada. This is a 10.8 percent drop from the peak level of around 2.92 million in September 2019. Self-employed workers’ current share of 13.6 percent of total employment (19.16 million) has not been this low since July 1987.

It’s bad news for all of us. The Liberal party have “hired” our ruling class. A predatory bureaucracy that sucks your wealth for their personal gain and votes LPC who ensure their place at the trough. What could go wrong?

Why government employees may want to ask for a pay cut

SecondStreet.org recently asked governments across the country a simple question – when was the last time you cut pay for your employees?

The question followed many news stories in Canada about businesses struggling during the pandemic and having no choice but to cut employee pay – movie chain Cineplex, the Winnipeg Free Press, Chrysler, Canadian Football League teams, energy giant Cenovus and countless others.

GOLDSTEIN: We pay more in taxes than on food, clothing, housing combined, says report

The public sector fared very well during lockdown

Governments at all three levels hired over 52,000 new bureaucratic administrators during the pandemic, according to the CTF.

Really!? Governments in Canada didn’t already have enough managers managing managers before?

I guess it’s no shock that StatsCan found more than 520,000 private-sector workers lost their jobs during the pandemic.

52000 thousand more votes in favour of stealing the bread from our mouths.

Want emails? Wait five years, Public Health Agency of Canada tells access requestor

He is the very model of a modern bureaucrat! Sucking your blood and getting real fat!

A requester seeking access to a week’s worth of emails and messages from the head of a federal agency embroiled in controversy has been told to wait five years or more for a response under Canada’s information law.

The applicant recently asked the Public Health Agency of Canada for emails, texts and messages that president Iain Stewart had sent or received from June 14 to 21.

What a farce.

GOLDSTEIN: Ford and the notwithstanding clause — cue the hysteria

Premier Doug Ford could have saved himself a lot of political grief from the usual suspects if he had simply done what Quebec premiers have done for years when passing French-language legislation.

He should have included a clause in his bill to restrict third-party advertising in election campaigns beyond what the previous Liberal government had done, invoking the Canadian constitution’s notwithstanding clause.

The only complaints are from our Public Service Union Predator Class and their media buddies.

GOLDSTEIN: Pandemic exposes divide between public, private sectors

The fact that 80% of Canadian workers who are in the private sector can no longer afford to pay the salaries, benefits, and pensions of the 20% in the public sector was a crisis before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Coming out of the pandemic, it’s going to be a disaster.

LILLEY: Top civil servants getting chauffeured on your dime

Quick, without using Google, name the superintendent of Financial Institutions. Can you do it? Could you name the president of the Public Service Commission?

You should know their names because they are among the most important public servants in Canada, among the 53 bureaucrats in Ottawa given a full-time car and driver. That’s right, they and many others, have a chauffeur on standby to shuttle them around Ottawa.

We are ruled over not governed by a corrupt, entitled permanent political class.

Number of bank accounts should have raised flags earlier in case of alleged fraud involving COVID-19 funds, experts say

At the centre of an alleged scheme to defraud the provincial government of $11 million in COVID-19 relief payments are more than 400 bank accounts.

Sanjay Madan – Civil servant and family stole millions

All of them were opened this spring in quick succession at the Bank of Montreal and TD Canada Trust, which then processed more than 40,000 electronic transfers from the province for $200 to $250 each — money that was supposed to be for families with young children or children with disabilities.

The volume and frequency of the banking activity is so suspicious that financial crime experts say the banks should never have let it happen.

“The banks have acted as a catalyst for the money laundering,” said Garry Clement, a former director of the RCMP proceeds of crime unit. “There is zero reason for the banks to have catered in this manner.”

Sanjay Madan, whole family stole from needy kids.

A probe into the alleged theft of $11 million in pandemic relief cash will also examine contractors and subcontractors linked to a fired government computer employee, the Star has learned.

Queen’s Park and the Ontario Provincial Police anti-rackets squads are conducting separate investigations into the alleged embezzlement from the $378-million Support for Families program.

Government sources, speaking confidentially in order to discuss a matter that is before the courts, say their internal audit is looking into past data projects involving Sanjay Madan.

Head of Toronto’s real estate agency offered staff, niece below-market rentals despite city’s affordable housing rules

Head of Toronto’s real estate agency offered staff, niece below-market rentals despite city’s affordable housing rules
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

The head of the city’s real estate agency offered apartments with below-market rents exclusively to his own employees earlier this year, in violation of city policies on affordable housing, the Star has learned.

Internal emails, obtained through a freedom of information request, show Brian Johnston, then CEO of CreateTO — an arm’s length city agency started under Mayor John Tory’s administration that’s responsible for selling and leasing land to developers to build affordable housing — also sought a below-market unit for his niece from The Biddington Group, which, earlier this year, was renting out the newly built J. Davis House near Yonge Street and Davisville Avenue.
