Cabinet is prepared to rewrite a security bill critics call a threat to civil liberties, says Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree. He acknowledged shortcomings in Bill C-2: “I will admit C-2 probably didn’t have that balance but my commitment is a revised version of it."
A government-run program promising free things to people went wrong?
NO!
It cannot be!:
Tens of thousands of people who received or were approved for dental care courtesy of the federal government’s highly touted plan were not eligible, Health Canada announced Tuesday.
The agency said that while the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) has helped more than 5.5 million people access services they needed but weren’t receiving, it recently identified an internal error in how applicant income was calculated, which led to services being paid for that should not have been covered. ...
Health Canada said a mistake in its system led to roughly 70,000 people — which only represents around one per cent of all CDCP active members — being found ineligible or having their income “assessed at an incorrect co-payment level.”
Under the plan, some members may be required to pay for part of their dental bill based on their adjusted family net income.
“As of October 3, approximately 28,000 of these members received dental care,” Health Canada said.
The agency did not provide a dollar value to the benefits that were paid, but National Post has contacted them for more information.
His job is not fix Canada and I have no idea why anyone would think that:
Does Canada need a prime minister engaged at home with his ministers to solve the myriad problems our country faces or a globe-trotting spokesmodel?
Mark Carney has spent a significant amount of time since he was sworn into office a little over seven months ago anywhere but here. He has travelled to France, U.K. twice, U.S. three times, Italy, Vatican City, Belgium, Netherlands, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Latvia, Mexico and Egypt.
He will spend Halloween in South Korea, spending nine combined days there and in Malaysia and Singapore. He plans to go to South Africa and the Dominican Republic before Christmas.
Carney refers to his government as Canada’s new government. It isn’t new. He is, but for the most part he leads the Liberals and bureaucracy that was in charge during the Trudeau era.
Carney admits we have huge problems that need solving, but many of those problems were created or exacerbated by the very people he now leads. Does he think he can rack up air miles while the people in Ottawa just correct course on their own?
Also - elbows up and all that:
Liberal House leader Steve MacKinnon signalled Tuesday that he’s concerned the government’s budget might not get support from the opposition benches, while at the same time dismissing some demands other parties have laid out.
The Liberal government will need the co-operation of at least one other party in order to pass the budget, which is being tabled on Nov. 4. Because the budget is a confidence vote, Canadians could be facing another election if it doesn’t pass.
The thing is we know that Pierre is right:
After days of backlash over Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s comments on the RCMP, a string of his MPs lined up in support of the leader on Wednesday and pushed back against the controversy itself.
Usually quiet as they enter their weekly caucus meeting, a handful of Conservative MPs stopped to voice their support for Poilievre as well as the national force itself, whose leadership the Conservative leader called “despicable” in an interview aired last week, which he later clarified to say he was speaking about its past commissioner.
“His comments speak for themselves. He offered a precision that I think was very important,” said Ontario MP Michael Barrett, who serves as the party’s ethics critic.
McLean, along with other MPs, suggested there was still criticism to go around for the handling of scandals under former prime minister Justin Trudeau, including the SNC-Lavalin affair, which saw the federal ethics commissioner rule that Trudeau broke the rules attempting to influence his former attorney general, Jody Wilson-Raybould.
The Calgary MP said the “evidence is quite clear” that an investigation remains warranted, and also suggested Prime Minister Mark Carney could “hold the old administration to account over what happened in SNC-Lavalin.”
At the height of the 2019 scandal, the RCMP looked at whether there was any criminality in Trudeau’s action in pressuring Wilson-Raybould to see that the Montreal construction firm secure a deferred prosecution agreement, rather than face criminal proceedings.
The force had specifically looked at the offences obstruction of justice and the intimidation of a justice system participant.
Ultimately, the RCMP did not pursue charges, with commissioner Mike Duheme testifying before a parliamentary committee in February 2024 that the force was unable to “acquire or obtain enough information or evidence” to access documents kept secret under cabinet confidence provisions.
If you cannot keep track of people who are here illegally, why do you still have your job?:
The immigration department does not know how many foreigners are in Canada illegally, Deputy Minister Harpreet Kochhar yesterday told MPs. Managers in a report last April 24 said the number was as high as 500,000: “We would not have any estimation of those.”
Oh, yeah - Canada, where you can fail upwards.
The Liberals have been dismantling and downgrading the armed forces for decades.
Auditors yesterday faulted the Department of National Defence for creating its own housing crisis with long waiting lists and dilapidated structures unfit for military families. Defence Minister David McGuinty promised improvements: “Toilets weren’t working, or there was structural damage to the exterior walls of the building, the kind of conditions you and I wouldn’t want to live in.”
Thanks for your service.
Please live in this dump.
Yes, but those who went into the schools often made it out alive:
Cabinet in a briefing note likened Chinese concentration camps to Canada’s Indian Residential School system. Diplomats privately told Chinese Communist Party officials “not to repeat Canada’s past mistakes,” said the document: “Canada continues to urge China not to repeat Canada’s past mistakes.”
Yet the Liberals admire them and want to trade with them.
How interesting.
Inclusion Canada CEO Krista Carr revealed that many disabled Canadians are being pressured to end their lives with euthanasia during routine medical appointments.
During an October 8 session of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Carr, an advocate against Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), explained that Canada’s expansion of MAiD to the non-terminally ill has led to people with disabilities being pressured to end their lives during unrelated medical visits.
“Since the bill was brought in around Track 2 MAID … that has certainly changed people’s interactions with the healthcare system,” she explained, referring to the 2021 expansion that allowed those who are chronically ill but not terminally ill to be euthanized.
“People with disabilities are now very much afraid in many circumstances to show up in the health care system with regular health concerns, because often MAID is suggested as a solution to what is considered to be intolerable suffering,” she revealed.
It will only encourage the b@$#@rds:
Vance thanked Netanyahu for the country’s hospitality, saying he was “very excited to sit down and work together” on advancing the White House’s peace plan for the Gaza Strip.
“We have a very, very tough task ahead of us, which is to disarm Hamas, but rebuild Gaza to make life better for the people in Gaza, but also to ensure that Hamas is no longer a threat to our friends in Israel,” said Vance.
Vance noted Washington was working closely not only with Israel but also with “friends in the Arab world” who are seeking a “positive role,” declaring: “We have an opportunity to do something really historic.”
These b@$#@rds:
In Gaza, speaking out against Hamas costs you your life.
