Who Did You Vote For, Canada?

Enjoy the decline ...

 

Carbon is not a pollutant, but I digress:

Canadians in federal focus groups say the carbon tax merely punishes the public without tackling climate change. The tax is currently charged at 14¢ per litre of gasoline: ‘It was felt it placed too much of a financial burden on the individual.’

 **

National greenhouse gas emissions are up despite the carbon tax, data show. Figures contradicted Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault’s claim that “our plan is working.”

 

No matter.

Justin already has his new voters block:

Closing the Canada-U.S. border to asylum seekers is projected to cost Canadian taxpayers at least $60 million over 10 years. But that analysis doesn’t include costs for the Mounties to beef up “challenging” enforcement efforts.

This is why Canada has some of the highest inflation and taxation rates in the world.

Its government and people have the financial acumen of drunken teen-agers with mum and dad's credit card.

To wit:

According to new data from the Royal Bank of Canada's spending tracker, Anchan is not alone. Its April 6 update said Canadians are cutting back their spending on discretionary goods like clothes and restaurants, but spending on non-essential services remained strong.

"Canadians continue to indulge in holidays despite higher flight prices and hotel costs," the report reads, while also noting that grocery transactions did not significantly change.

 

Also - expecting an ever-more expensive service to be efficient is a fool's errand.

But don't take my word for it:

Air passengers who want compensation for poor service should buy insurance, says Canada’s civil aviation authority NAV Canada. Transport Minister Omar Alghabra has promised tougher regulations against airlines for delayed flights and lost luggage: “Regulations should be a last line of defense, not the first line of recourse.”

 

Yes, why expect people not lose the luggage they are paid to carry, Keebler Orc?

 

 

Ukraine is Canada's vanity war:

No, WE subsidised this garbage.

No one asked us:

When you went to elementary school, did your teacher ever suggest—even in his or her most sinister dream—that the class all go to a strip club to sample a bit of salacious sexual culture? Never. It would never have been imagined.

How about inviting a drag queen to the school for story-time?

Nope.

And for your summer vacation, would your parents have sent you to a “drag camp”—supported and subsidized by the federal government—for children as young as 7?

That would have been beyond belief.

Yet Canada is in the grips of such lunacy today, and the people fighting back are high school youths who are righteously angry at being sexually exploited by a sick and contaminating political ideology

The federal Heritage Ministry supports the drag camp, to be hosted by the Carousel Theatre in Vancouver in July, as The Epoch Times has reported. So does the B.C. provincial government and the city of Vancouver.

An advertisement for the activity describes a Junior Drag Camp for children aged 7-8 and a Teen Drag Camp for ages 12-17.

I’ve just received this incredible update.

I met this couple in Halifax, Nova Scotia nearly two years ago. Their daughter was really struggling, and in one of the worst cases I’ve seen, was being groomed by the school psychologist to think she was a boy.

Wiener indeed typically argues that his politically charged gender- and sex-related bills are needed to fight invidious discrimination against LGBTQ people. “When Greg Abbott announced that the State of Texas was going to investigate and prosecute parents who had allowed their trans kids to get gender-affirming care, we knew that we needed to do something,” he said. “And then we saw it started to spread to other states and so we sprang into action and put together [the ‘sanctuary state’ bill] to make clear that if kids did not feel safe in Texas or other states, they could come to California, and we would do our best to protect them.”

But if some of Wiener’s bills seek to protect LGBTQ youth, they also represent a golden opportunity for a different group: adults who would take advantage of them. Wiener “is an extremely dangerous person, [so] extremely dangerous that I cannot believe that people cannot read in between the lines,” said Marisa Ugarte, who runs the anti-trafficking nonprofit, Bilateral Safety Corridor Coalition, based in National City, just south of San Diego. Wiener is turning California, she warned, into “a sex-trafficking paradise.”
