Your Corrupt Government and You

Authoritarian governments always do things to benefit themselves:

The Conservatives and the NDP are calling on the Liberal government to release email and text messages between the party and Clerk of the House of Commons Charles Robert in response to claims that Robert broke the cardinal rule of his job by acting partisan.

According to Robert's official job description, he's expected to advise the Speaker and all MPs on parliamentary procedure "regardless of party affiliation" and "with impartiality and discretion."

CBC News reported last week that Robert is facing claims that he made partisan comments and shared confidential information with the Liberals that could have given the party a strategic advantage over the opposition in the House.

 

MP Girl Name is a Liberal plant and we all know it:

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole has removed a Saskatchewan senator from the party a day after she launched a petition to force him to face a leadership review.

** 

A Saskatchewan senator yesterday became the first member of the federal Conservative caucus to petition for a leadership review following the Party’s second consecutive election loss. “Erin O’Toole lost this election by every measure,” Senator Denise Batters said in a video message to Party members: “You can’t come back from that.”

G.K. Chesterton warned about platitudes “in peril of becoming one of those things that are accepted ‘in principle’ by all unprincipled men.” In Canada one such is that conservatism is yucky. It may have a certain ignoble utility in rallying the rubes if they form part of your deplorable base, but it is both socially disreputable and intellectually laughable.

Kenney and O’Toole radiate that attitude. And it’s not working for them, and can’t. ...

Fundamentally, the reason conservatives believe in the policies they believe in is that they are convinced there is something to believe in. There really is Truth, epistemological and moral. They don’t and can’t think winning is everything. So they’re far less comfortable than the relativist parties with abandoning principle even for immediate gain, let alone humiliating defeat, including by substituting organizational ruthlessness for conviction.

 

 

You mean, move industry back to Canada, back to a country with proper wages and manufacturing standards?:

And when it comes to consumption, Alter says now is the time to reconsider our buying habits.

"Just make everything last longer and buy less."

 

 

But Canadians voted for it, so ... :

The “great reset” is a slogan that aspires to some new world order without Canadian mining, Canadian oil and natural gas and other CO2-emitting industries. The great reset will be so great, in fact, that we will not only be forced to get by without reliable base load energy and resource sector jobs, but thanks to the magic of government, income inequality will be a thing of our dark Darwinian past. ...

Maybe voters themselves are at the very beginning of another reset — one in which they begin to see the costs of Canada’s left-wing, anti-natural resource policies, including skyrocketing inflation, shortages of consumer goods and higher interest rates. They will soon feel, if they are not already, the negative impact of a federal government that is not only lacks interest in monetary policy, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau famously confessed during the election, but lacks focus on economic matters.

Also:

“You’ve got a finance minister who has given us hundreds of billions of dollars of inflationary deficits, with more to come; you’ve got the housing minister that gave us the worst housing bubble in Canadian history, keeping his job; and of course you’ve got a radical Greenpeace activist who believes in much higher energy prices and shutting down industries that employ hundreds of thousands of people in charge of our environment,” Poilievre declared.

“It’s the costliest cabinet ever, which means more inflation, higher costs for fuel, food and housing. And that’s why my number one priority is to fight Liberal inflation and stand up for consumers and workers. Thank you very much.”

 

Shut down the oil sands. 

Do it.

Do it for once and for all and do it before Canadians access that precious fuel to heat their homes.

Have the intestinal fortitude to reduce Canada to a medieval serf-like state where tuberculosis and dying of exposure are things and do it one, sharp move:

Cabinet should act to “leave the majority of the fossil fuels in the ground from now on,” a scientific panel of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society has been told. Further mining of Alberta oil sands is “unacceptable in terms of the survival of this planet,” said a climate scientist: “You have the power.”

 

Yes, yes - Remembrance Day is all about you:

Despite Sophie's poem, federal records reveal that her grandfather did not serve in World War II. On top of this, no mention of Sophie's grandfather can be found in the book of remembrance.

Further digging by our friends at Blacklock's suggested that Sophie's grandfather was a non-combatant who died at the age of 83. The PMO would not comment on whether this was true.

Since when was a lifestyle choice worthy of monuments but not, let's say, having invented a country?:

The federal government wants to know what Canadians think about five potential designs for a new monument in Ottawa to honour victims of its LGBTQ2+ purge.
