The government people voted for, oddly enough:
Nova Scotia Power has confirmed there was an “issue related to ArriveCAN” that prompted concerns among U.S. crews that they “may not be able to cross the border” to help Canada amid post-tropical storm Fiona.
In a statement sent to Global News, a spokesperson for Nova Scotia Power said the issue was resolved and crews were on their way to affected areas “within a few hours.”
But were they wearing masks?!
Justin Trudeau has made serious and significant missteps on the international stage over the last several years. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic when trips overseas had been a regular occurrence, there was a running joke amongst Conservative political staff that you needed to get your popcorn ready anytime the official plane was fueled up because it was only a matter of time before the Prime Minister made some error in judgment.
After all, this is the same Prime Minister who invited Jaspal Atwal, a man convicted on charges of attempted murder, to a reception during a trip to India where the Liberal government was supposed to be focused on deepening ties between the two countries. The incident made national and international news for weeks, and in addition to being a major embarrassment, brought into question serious risks that undermined Canada’s security services.
Then there were the meetings on the Trans-Pacific Partnership in Vietnam in 2017, where the heads of 11 countries were working to hammer out a revised trade pact. Media had reported that talks had stalled, and that the Prime Minister was at the centre of the drama when he failed to show up at the scheduled time to meet with other world leaders. As was reported, he chose to take a meeting with Facebook instead, and the Australian trade minister at the time accused him of trying to sabotage the talks.
These screw ups had real life consequences, and they hurt Canada’s reputation on the international stage. But Trudeau singing over a piano on a Saturday night?
Just take it out of their pensions:
MPs yesterday demanded to see actual menus for costly in-flight meals for Governor General Mary Simon. Food expenses on a junket to Dubai were the equivalent of $218 per plate for breakfast, lunch and supper servings for Simon and 45 others: “We’d like to know whether we are dealing with caviar and champagne.”
**
“The costs were really shocking to all of us. We had eggs! We had omelettes!” deputy secretary to the Office of the Governor General’s secretary Christine MacIntyre told MPs on the government operations and estimates committee Thursday.
Omelettes laced with gold.
Five will get you ten, Justin has no idea where food comes from:
Trudeau’s visit will also include work on advancing the 17 goals of the UN’s sustainable development effort, of which he is a co-chairman. Those global goals include climate action, eliminating poverty and pollution, gender equality and fostering equitable economic growth.
And don't think he won't starve anyone, either:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has adopted dozens of secret orders-in-council (OICs) since coming to office in 2015, including two during the Freedom Convoy protests, according to CBC News.
A small number of reasons are available to governments for keeping OICs secret, including matters of national security, military operations and foreign investments in Canadian companies.
(Sidebar: like Irving hiring foreign workers and not Canadians to build ships? Like that?)
The unpublished OICs – which are hidden from both Parliament and Canadians – are government orders drafted by Cabinet and signed by the Governor General. The number of secret OICs is evidenced by an absent number in the Privy Council’s database.
While Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government adopted 28 secret OICs during his nine years in office, the Trudeau Liberals are up to 72 in less than seven years – with 21 of them in 2020 alone.
Eleven secret OICs have already been filed in 2022.
Because priorities:
A cabinet bill to regulate legal internet content is a “power grab over human communications,” a former CRTC commissioner testified last night at Senate committee hearings. Bill C-11 would classify YouTube videos as TV broadcasts subject to mandatory regulation: “It’s a kind of reverse takeover of the internet.”

The federal government announced that it would be committing up to $1.9 million in funding to “combat online terrorist and violent extremist content,” according to an announcement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sept. 20.
If the drug-dealers ran small businesses, it would be easier to shut them down:
Criminal law should not punish misguided drug dealers who just want to “put bread on the table,” Attorney General David Lametti said yesterday. Lametti made the comment in defending a cabinet bill to repeal mandatory minimum sentences for cocaine traffickers: “Did you talk to victims’ groups?”
French is a fifth or sixth language in provinces west of Québec, says new Census data. Figures show in the largest English-speaking cities francophones are outnumbered by residents who speak Russian or Hindi: “We know French is on the decline across Canada.”
