Governments reflect the will of the people (or at least the people of Toronto).
Discuss:
Cabinet has invoked confidentiality in refusing to disclose the overhead cost of a new social program, the Canada Dental Benefit. This follows suspicions that administrative expenses are high, though the program disqualifies the poorest Canadian families from receiving aid, according to Blacklock's Reporter.

But who goes to prison for it?:
The Commons government operations committee yesterday agreed unanimously to summon seven cabinet members to explain ballooning costs of federal consultants. The investigation targets McKinsey & Company, a global consulting firm whose ex-managing director was a Liberal appointee as Canadian ambassador to China: “Who is pulling the strings?”

Why would we need to be monitored?:
Six months after National Defence claimed it was shutting down efforts to collect social media data of Canadians, the military was back again developing new technology to accomplish such tasks.
Defence firms and other companies were given almost $10 million to develop new ways to analyze social media and sift through accounts.

Now it is time to remind everyone that Justin not only has no idea what he is talking about, but he is also spiteful, emotionally retarded and will destroy this country with the tacit approval of special-interest groups, China and some nobodies in Toronto and Montreal:
Having shown Germany the back of his hand in August when Chancellor Olaf Scholz asked to buy some of Canada’s abundant natural gas, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau repeated the performance only two weeks into 2023 — this time snubbing the people of Japan.
(Sidebar: I'll just leave this here.)
During Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s recent visit to Ottawa, Trudeau flatly refused Japan’s request for assistance in securing additional natural gas supplies from Canada to protect Japan’s economy and quality of life in the face of gas shortages caused by Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Adding insult to injury, the prime minister instead focused on Canada’s interest in working with Japan on alternative energy sources conforming to Trudeau’s “net-zero” carbon energy policies. He gave the same lecture to Chancellor Scholz, despite Germany’s almost suicidal devotion to its renewable energy transition — the “Energiewende” — over the past 13 years.

On the day that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau lectured the Government of Saskatchewan on its clean energy efforts, a total collapse of both wind and solar power generation in Saskatchewan was taking place.
In In Saskatoon on Jan. 16, Trudeau made allusions that the Saskatchewan government was not doing enough on clean electricity, saying, “We also know there’s work to be done on encouraging the Government of Saskatchewan to see the opportunities that companies and indeed workers are seeing in a clean, cleaner jobs in the opportunities for get cleaner energy projects. These are things that we’re going to continue to work on.”
On that very day, characterized by fog throughout much of southern Saskatchewan (where the wind turbines are located), SaskPower’s total wind power generation fell to “-1 megawatt,” as in negative one megawatt, according to the Crown corporation’s Where Does Your Power Come From web page. This is the lowest number Pipeline Online has seen since the page went online in September, 2022. It’s also an average throughout the entire day, not just at a particular moment.
According to SaskPower, “The turbines were iced up and unable to produce. The -1 megawatt was load to service the facilities.”
Saskatchewan has 617 megawatts of installed grid-scale wind power generation.

Let's make something clear - grocery prices are high because of government-caused inflation.
Did you really think that uncontrolled spending was a good idea?
So there's that.
Furthermore, NO ONE had a problem when the Liberals gave the Westons a subsidy for refrigerators.
Don't whine about them now.
You have more corrupt fish to fry:
After a recent incident where Loblaws received backlash from consumers for its unusually overpriced chicken, more Toronto shoppers are calling out grocery stores like Sobeys and Loblaws for selling overpriced items and for allowing runaway grocery inflation go unchecked.
Recently, a Toronto shopper called out Sobeys for selling a party-size Caesar Salad for $40.
"If you are thinking of immigrating to Canada, DON'T. You will pay over $1,600/month for a moldy apartment in a small city. You will pay $42.00 for a damn Caesar salad and you will earn $15/hr while being taxed on everything," the tweet read.
I would advise people to not come to Canada (or leave it) for a variety of reasons.
The high prices that Canadians complain about but will NOTHING about is just one of them.

Renaming a thoroughfare because a man invented a country for someone to hate:
An Ottawa thoroughfare currently named after Canada’s first prime minister is expected to receive a new Indigenous name later this year, the National Capital Commission said Thursday.
“I’m fully supportive of this decision,” Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe said Thursday after the commission’s board of directors unanimously approved the recommendation to move forward with renaming the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway.
“I think this is something that Canadians and residents of Ottawa can be proud of once this process is complete,” Sutcliffe said.
(Sidebar: speak for yourself, Sutcliffe.)
Some people are special.
Also:
A coal company and a First Nation in British Columbia have struck a rare deal to give the community the power to veto a proposed mining project, which could set a precedent for how natural resources projects are developed in Canada.
NWP Coal Canada and the Yaq̓it ʔa·knuqⱡi'it (YQT), also known as the Tobacco Plains Indian Band, describe the agreement as one of a kind and say it will give the First Nation the power to act as a "regulator and reviewer" of the company's proposed $400-million Crown Mountain coal mine near Elkford, in the southeast part of the province.

The lawyer for six Canadian women and 13 children being held in Syrian camps says the federal government has agreed to help bring them home.
Lawyer Lawrence Greenspon says a “mutually acceptable” agreement was reached today with Ottawa to repatriate the 19 Canadians.
The Canadians are among the many foreign nationals in Syrian camps run by Kurdish forces that reclaimed the war-torn region from the extremist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

The reason why we didn't accept the credentials of Canadian-trained professionals was because ... ?:
Health-care workers from across Canada could soon start practising in Ontario more quickly under legislation the provincial government plans to introduce next month.
Premier Doug Ford said Thursday that new “as of right” rules would see credentials of health-care workers registered in other provinces and territories automatically recognized in Ontario, without the need to register with a regulatory college in this province.
“A doctor from British Columbia, or a nurse from Quebec who wants to come and work in Ontario shouldn’t face barriers or bureaucratic delays to start providing care,” Ford said at a news conference in Windsor, Ont.
“So to nurses, doctors and health-care workers across Canada: If you’ve been thinking of making Ontario your new home, now’s the time to make that move. We’re here, we’re waiting with open arms and jobs to fill.”
Get poorly paid and treated in Ontario, too!

This:
Justin Trudeau's government has introduced some of the strictest guidelines on alcohol consumption in the West, just weeks before Canada will legalise heroin and crack cocaine in parts of the country.
It is the devil's sport, like drinking which could lead to dancing!
This country is a gong show.
I'll just leave this right here:
