(Insert own comment here):
A prominent Quebec author and historian at the head of a Quebec activist group has initiated a private criminal prosecution against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, claiming the prime minister has encouraged illegal immigration into Canada, in violation of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Frédéric Bastien, president of Justice pour le Quebec, alleges that Trudeau made comments that encouraged illegal crossings into Canada at the infamous Roxham Road border point between New York State and Quebec.
(Sidebar: this crossing.)
Private citizens in Canada have the right to initiate criminal proceedings without relying on the Crown to initiate them. Bastien said he believes he has reasonable grounds to proceed with the prosecution, which if successful could result in the prime minister being subject to a fine or even imprisonment.
Dear Santa Claus, make this happen.

Former Liberal MP Will Amos (Pontiac, Que.) billed taxpayers for a private five-figure training course he completed a month ago, more than a year after leaving office, records show. Authorities yesterday did not explain why expenses were paid for Amos, now a private consultant after he was censured by the Commons for misconduct: “I’m now serving Canadians in new ways.”

Since 2015, the number of federal, provincial and local employees has grown by 18.5 per cent, twice as fast as in the private sector, where employment growth was 9.0 per cent. What is less appreciated is the over-the-top employment growth in federal departments and agencies. There were 336,000 federal government employees in 2022, up from 257,000 in 2015 — a 30.7 per cent increase.

Minister Diane Lebouthillier’s Canada Revenue Agency de-registered numerous charities after misplacing paperwork, records show. Groups that filed annual returns were stripped of their charitable status after the Agency lost the records then claimed they were never mailed in the first place: “It was atrocious.”

Jonathan Wilkinson, whose wife owns a share of a gas company, said that Canadians unemployed because of the "green economy" could always be janitors:
Canadians thrown out of work by climate change programs can always get jobs as janitors, says a federal briefing note. The memo to Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said the “green economy” will still require workers without “green skills” like janitors and truck drivers: “Some green jobs will not require workers with green skills to perform their jobs, i.e. janitor or driver working for a solar energy company.”
We already clean up enough of your crap, Jonathan, so, no.

A first-term New Democrat MP is a federal supplier whose firm has been awarded almost a half million in contracts since her election in 2021.

No one is really going to privatise healthcare in this country.
If everyone is so afraid of privatisation, stop tweeting about your six hour emergency room wait:
Ontario is expanding the private delivery of public health care by funding clinics to perform more cataract surgeries, MRI and CT scans, colonoscopies, hip and knee replacements and other procedures in an attempt to ease pressures on the hospital system.
Making the announcement Monday, Premier Doug Ford lamented “endless debates” about who should deliver health care and said all he cares about is getting people the care they need quickly and safely.
It's that or MAID, guys.

The military has appointed gay advisors to help “innovate” religious instruction in the Canadian Armed Forces, says a briefing note. It follows a cabinet-appointed panel’s recommendation that Catholic chaplains be purged from the army, navy and air force over church teachings that contradict federal policy: “Chaplains provide a ‘safe place’ for members.”

Justin's younger, uglier brother worked as a propagandist for the Iranians.
A small Canadian telecom service firm is taking issue with a tech watchdog’s report that it discussed working with an alleged front company to help Iranian officials spy on civilians.
Citizen Lab, the Toronto-based digital and human rights organization, alleged in a Monday report that Port Coquitlam, B.C.-based PortaOne was involved in 2019 discussions to help set up a new mobile phone service in the Islamic Republic, which is now facing a massive wave of upheaval.

But ... but ... crime:
In the wake of a church-burning on New Year’s Eve in rural Alberta, The Epoch Times followed up with police on the status of investigations into the fire as well as the torching of multiple churches in Canada in the summer of 2021.The fire investigator has determined that arson was the cause of a blaze that destroyed St. Joseph Lutheran Church near the village of Hay Lakes, just north of Camrose and about 50 kilometres southeast of Edmonton, late on Dec. 31, burning it to the ground.Camrose RCMP Cpl. Kevin Krebs says plain-clothes officers are doing interviews and collecting witness statements.“Hopefully we can find somebody that’s responsible for that fire. Arsons are very hard to solve. Quite often the evidence that would normally be left around for another type of crime is destroyed by the fire,” he said.Krebs said it’s unclear whether the fire was related to a spate of church fires that occurred in the summer of 2021. The fires followed news of the apparent discovery of unmarked graves found near a residential school in Kamloops, B.C., in May 2021.Krebs said arson cases get special attention because of the damage they do to lives and property.“They’re very high on our priority list of solving. That’s why we put the resources to them as hard as we can to see where we can lead. Sometimes information comes along from a source, or some evidence is gathered that, all of a sudden, leads us in the right direction. So that’s what we’re hoping for.”The Epoch Times contacted police forces across Canada to learn the status of investigations into church fires that occurred after May 2021. Most have not resulted in charges or convictions. Some remain officially open, while others have closed but could reopen if new evidence comes to light.
The federal government’s plan to start its firearms buyback program on Prince Edward Island as a pilot project is not going ahead, according to a news report.The information was first reported by Maritimes media group Saltwire Network on Jan. 12, and was commented on by Alberta Justice Minister Tyler Shandro.“Just two days after [Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s] plans to use PEI as a training ground for their firearms confiscation program were exposed – the federal Liberals have already backed down,” Shandro tweeted on Jan. 12.“Now its time to push the feds to back down from going after all Canadian firearms owners.”
