What a bunch of morally and politically corrupt, self-serving, money-grubbing, attention-seeking vultures whose place in history should relegated into the dustbin of it:
There is a very real fear and presentiment across the land that the country is disintegrating, Many Canadians now feel, whether implicitly or overtly, that Canada is on the cusp, teetering on the verge of collapse and dissolution.
(Sidebar: oh, it dissolved ages ago.)
The National Post reports that “A majority of Canadians looking at the country they see around them say everything seems to be broken. Concerned about rising costs, the state of health care, affordable housing, jobs and more, half of us are also angry about the way Canada is being run.” Similarly, an Ipsos poll found that 7 in 10 Canadians agree that “Canada is broken.” As Lee Harding writes in the Western Standard, our rulers “in our own capital city [are] full of self-aggrandizement, handing out contracts to their friends, serving foreign interests, burying us in public debt, and laying heavy taxes on people.” Sounds like it could be the U.S. under Biden and Harris.
Nine years and three terms of Liberal rule under the incompetent and scandal-ridden Marxist prime minister Justin Trudeau have led to a state of affairs in which, as one representative young woman lamented, “This country is falling apart. There’s no more freedom. Everyone is working just to survive and everyone is miserable.” Another concurs: “Every single system is flawed in Canada and it’s so sad, this used to be the best country in the world, now everything is backwards.” “Canada feels Like a house of cards waiting to collapse,” says the Jacobin, “Canada is in deep crisis. It's unfashionable in centrist circles to say so, but it's true. The country is literally on fire.” The Financial Post, for its part, defines Canada as “A leader among the so-called ‘breakdown nations,’” with the worst rate of growth among 50 developed economies. ...
Trudeau’s commitment to stifle freedom of speech has begun to alarm even a once complaisant public. The infamous Bill C-63 is clearly intended to criminalize unfettered speech, or what is conveniently called “hate speech,” by creating a censorship bureaucracy to enforce an as yet opaque set of regulations regarding the disposition of social media platforms as well as the expression of individual opinion. Massive fines and lengthy jail sentences, including life terms, are part of the legislative package.
Trudeau has also introduced a “Qualified Canadian Journalism Organization” licence, the purpose of which is to ban unfriendly or dissident journalism as “disinformation.” News and Opinion outlets critical of Trudeau and his administration would be refused access to interviews, funding, and research sources. Only state-funded media would be granted these privileges, which means the overwhelming majority of the country’s bought press agencies. ...
To roil the waters even further, Trudeau has now issued visas to over 3000 Gazans, raising the prospect of surging antisemitism and terrorist violence while contributing to the housing problem. It’s obvious that these people have no business being here and that Trudeau has no business inviting them. Regrettably, this is perhaps one area where Canadians deserve the government they have. Unlike in the U.S. where over three-quarters of respondents regard Hamas as a terrorist organization, an Angus Reid poll in Canada reveals that Canadians “lean toward believing the government has sided too much with Israel.” Canada is already rife with Muslim agitation, especially targeting its Jewish population, though everyone is potentially at risk. A current reference point is provided by the endemic violence in the U.K. and the EU, where the “immigration rate has been so rapid that it is virtually unsurvivable.” To welcome more of the same is the height of political myopia or personal depravity—or both.
Be that as it may, a Bank of Canada Report for July 2024 cites immigration as responsible for driving up housing prices, rents, unemployment—not enough jobs for too many people—and, of course, inflation, making it clear that the housing crisis flows directly from Trudeau’s fiscal and immigration policies. True to form, Trudeau is shifting blame from his own dysfunctional government to the “older generation” who apparently own “too much house.” One solution being proposed by a group called Generation Squeeze in tandem with Trudeau is an annual surtax of 0.2% to 0.5% on all homes over $1 million and 1% for homes worth $2 million, further inflating the tax load.
There is no sign of anything improving. With the reckless abandon of a spoiled child in a candy store, Trudeau continues to play fast and loose with the country’s finances. The national debt is stratospheric and the debt ceiling is being hiked to an unsustainable $2.1 trillion. The Federal deficit is $40 billion annually and rising, a crippling burden for a country of 38 million souls and fewer than 23 million taxpayers. Trudeau has pledged another $500 million to the Ukraine war effort while the Canadian military is stripped bare and ordinary citizens can scarcely afford the basic necessities.
Add to this Trudeau’s exorbitant carbon tax, costing Canadian families, businesses, and farmers a prohibitive tranche of their incomes, and slated to rise exponentially to conform with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development—a tax which in any case has had an infinitesimal impact on greenhouse gas emissions. “Our country is broke,” says Conservative leader and likely future prime minister Pierre Poilievre. “I'm inheriting a dumpster fire when it comes to the budget.” Trudeau should never have been allowed anywhere near Parliament Hill.
In terms of Canada’s reputation, it is difficult to work up any degree of pride for its standing in the world. Canada’s weakness on the global stage, its diplomatic subservience to China, and the spectacle of a Prime Minister who is an international embarrassment—his speech to the 2024 NATO Summit consisted of “his virtue-signally word salad” delivered “to a near-empty room”—together daub another black mark on Trudeau’s Canada. It is hard to regard so degenerate a prime minister with anything but revulsion.
What was once a Hudson’s Bay blanket is now a patchwork quilt. It is long past time for Trudeau to hang up his cleated ambitions and taste the pleasures—or is it rigors—of private life. But it probably won’t happen. University of Calgary professor Barry Cooper has it down pat. Win or lose, Trudeau will likely stay on as Liberal leader since returning to teaching French or snowboarding to teenage girls—Trudeau’s former employment—had lost its charm. Remaining in the limelight, jetting around the world at taxpayer expense, bathing in platitudes of media adulation, and being fawned on by celebrities “beats shuffling off into retirement and watching the sun go down,” says Cooper, as it seemingly has for Canada.
Justin's fellow pig does not subscribe to these points-of-view, instead regarding any negative criticism of his boss as a "narrative" moved by the bought-and-paid-for press to "try to manipulate public opinion.”
Yes, he actually said this.
(Sidebar: does this include the ones impacted by your government's censorship laws that eventually ham-strung them? Oops. What about members of his own party who can't stand him? They've seen how he rewards loyalty.)
We all imagined those multitude of scandals and high taxes, eh, Vance?
A repugnant as Justin is, he was installed as the leader of the federal Liberals and vaunted into the highest office of the land by an electorate who found economic and political stability too stale for their tastes.
The joke is on them, though.
People like Justin don't leave because they are asked.

In a decision published Thursday, a three-person review panel of the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC) confirmed a National Post and Investigative Journalism Foundation (IJF) report last year that Ontario Superior Court Justice Diana Piccoli had made multiple donations totalling at least $700 to the Liberals after her appointment in 2019.The panel of two judges and one member of the public highlighted the “serious nature” of Piccoli’s conduct. It also rejected an assertion by Piccoli’s lawyer that the breach was “trivial.”“Political donations by a judge are not trivial and have the potential to undermine public confidence in the independence of the judiciary,” read a statement from the council.
But the panel limited its disciplinary action to an “expression of concern,” the “lowest level of sanction available,” due to corrective actions taken by Piccoli over the last year, her “positive reputation” among her peers and her “self-reporting” of the donations after the Post/IJF article.
In other words, she tried to head everyone off at the pass so as not to get into trouble.
Cabinet has abruptly scrubbed dozens of Government of Canada webpages detailing more than $24 billion in payments to Covid contractors. The publicly-accessible database was deleted only weeks after Treasury Board President Anita Anand promised to “make sure we have transparency in government contracting.”
Taxpayers facing new capital gains costs hope to block Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s proposal before it becomes law, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business said yesterday. The remarks followed a Budget Office estimate the measure will cost $17.4 billion: “We see the potential for many losers because of this.”
Failing to pay the GST on all-cash deals is immoral, says a Nova Scotia judge. The courthouse comment follows in-house Canada Revenue Agency research showing many taxpayers consider cheating commonplace: “A dollar you don’t pay is a dollar that someone else has to pay or that has to be borrowed.”
Parks Canada fire preparedness in Jasper, Alta. was a model for the nation, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault yesterday told reporters. Guilbeault’s office refused to say how many thousands of hectares of dead pine were left standing in Jasper National Park as a known fire risk: “All of these things were done.”

But they will all vote Liberal:
Canada’s government is preparing to unveil a suite of measures to clamp down on temporary immigration and has no plans to follow through right now on a broad program offering status to undocumented residents, the country’s immigration minister told Reuters.
Is that so?:
Nearly 4,000 hotel rooms for illegal immigrants and refugee claimants are being billed to taxpayers monthly, says the Department of Immigration. Cabinet has acknowledged a more “permanent, sustainable” solution is required: “The department’s hotel footprint consists of approximately 3,810 rooms in 29 hotels.”
I know that Canadians are keen on not supporting Israel, and love the diversity that comes with fouling beaches and being air-lifted out of global hot-spots, but how would they feel if these migrants were handed a bill for their care which would have to be paid back?
Hhhmm?

Just when you think Parliament has degraded itself to the utmost, something brand new and horrible comes along: On Wednesday, the House of Commons status of women committee chased two invited witnesses out of the Wellington Building in tears, after a meeting about intimate partner violence and how the criminal justice system treats it suddenly veered off into a pathetic tangent about abortion.
