Oh, There's More!

More money-wasting!:

For decades, the Canadian state has consistently located itself at the vanguard of progress and national excellence.

For instance, from 2006-2014, Canada’s GDP steadily increased, crime declined, and the Canadian state was often lauded as a paragon of democracy. Furthermore, throughout the 2000s and early 2010s, Canada remained a stalwart, esteemed member of the international community, and Canadians everywhere constantly enjoyed a remarkable quality of life.

Unfortunately, since the advent of the Liberal government, Canada has been forced to endure a precipitous national decline. In fact, Canada’s economy has collapsed, and the very fabric of Canada’s democracy has been rent totally asunder, as a consequence of the past decade of Liberal leadership. ...

For example, since 2015, violent crime in Canada has increased by over 30%. Furthermore, Canada’s homicide rate recently hit a 30-year peak, and in 2022, Canada’s Violent Crime Severity Index (VCSI) easily surpassed its highest point since 2007. In fact, according to the Global Peace Index (GPI), Canada has eclipsed every nation in Central and North America in order to record the “largest deterioration in overall peacefulness over the past year.” ...

For instance, various Canadian Premiers, such as the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, and the Premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith, have, for years, emphatically reiterated that swarms of illegal migrants, extremists, and criminals, as well as vast quantities of illicit substances, have surged freely in and out of Canada, as a result of the Canadian state’s utter inability to secure its borders.

Even Canada’s disgraced former prime minister himself, Justin Trudeau, has recently been forced to admit that Canada’s borders have become utterly porous and that “bad actors…have been exploiting [Canada’s] immigration system for their own interests.” 

In fact, over the past decade, the Liberal government’s shameful inability to secure Canada’s borders has permitted a diverse array of criminal organizations to transform the Canadian state into a global hub for the export of countless illegal narcotics, such as fentanyl, and countless terrorist leaders and people with intimate connections to terrorist organizations have been allowed to migrate freely within the Canadian state throughout the Liberal era

Illegal immigrants need more free legal help, Amnesty International says in a submission to the Commons finance committee. The Federal Courts Administration Service has complained immigration cases are already clogging dockets with taxpayers’ costs up more than 300 percent: “Provide Legal Aid funding to ensure certainty and consistency for refugees and migrants regardless of where they are in the country.”

Potemkin Canada:  

Twice in four days, Prime Minister Mark Carney scheduled official photo ops in front of environments that weren’t entirely real.

During a Sept. 19 visit to Mexico, Carney led cameras through a railyard stocked with pallets of artfully arranged sacks decorated with a maple leaf and the words “product of Canada.”

The site was the Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ferrovalle train yard, located outside Mexico City. ...

“Canadian grain farmers haven’t shipped wheat in sacks for over a century!” read a reaction by Chris Warkentin, Conservative MP for the heavily wheat-growing riding of Grande Prairie, Alta.

Sylvain Charlebois, a food scientist at Dalhousie University, wrote in a column this week that “bagged wheat is a relic of less mechanized economies.”

“We are among the most efficient bulk grain exporters in the world, shipping millions of tonnes through rail networks and ocean vessels designed for efficiency, safety, and traceability,” he wrote.

But it was a housing announcement just outside Ottawa where Carney would run into more direct accusations of being deliberately deceptive with his photo backdrop.

On Sept. 14, just before the opening of the fall session of Parliament, Carney stood in front of two under-construction homes in the Ottawa area and announced the official launch of Build Canada Homes, a new federal agency tasked with developing subdivisions of manufactured homes on federal land.

“The two sets of homes behind me were manufactured in two days, assembled on site in one,” Carney said to applause.

“We wanted to keep the townhouses open; we held back the workers from finishing it so you could see how things fit together,” he said, adding that one of the homes was being shipped “to Nunavut.”

Once the press conference was over, both homes were dismantled, and the site returned to what it had been before: A patch of fallow government land located near the Ottawa airport.

The land is a right-of-way for high-voltage power lines, which is why it currently doesn’t contain any development.

Postmedia reporter Bryan Passifiume was at the original announcement, and visited the same site four days later only to find a graded patch of gravel.

“The construction was all just a backdrop — today there’s just an excavator & bulldozer working the site,” Passifiume wrote in a social media post.
