Sometimes I think people outside of Justin’s Canada are more worried about free speech in this country than Canadians. Trudeau’s dystopian online harms act.

WHOA !!!! No wonder the Liberal gov withheld these CSIS docs until 1 am this morning.
“We know that the PRC clandestinely and deceptively interfered in both the 2019 and 2021 general elections.”
“At least 18 candidates and 13 staff members were implicated in PRC foreign interference networks.”

The Libranos: Grifter General
Two days ago, Trudeau was in Alberta, promoting modular construction as a way to solve the housing crisis he created.
He chose NRB Modular Solutions as a backdrop for his press conference. NRB is part of Dexterra Group, a leading support services and solutions company in Canada.
Who recently joined Dexterra’s Board of Directors? None other than Justin Trudeau’s favorite “Uncle”, the 28th Governor General of Canada from 2010 to 2017. Mr. David Johnston. […]
Not a bad gig, if you can get it. Johnston attended 6 board meetings in 2023, for which he got paid $122,861.
He owns 78,938 shares of the company, worth $437,317.

The Economist- Justin Trudeau is beset by a divided party and an angry electorate
Mr Trudeau has to contend with divisions within his own caucus, too. A former adviser, who was involved in developing the carbon tax, believes half of the Liberal cabinet did not support the recent increase. Liberal leaders in Newfoundland and Ontario joined those of Canada’s other provinces in demanding that Mr Trudeau cancel the increase. The levy is scheduled to rise by $15 per tonne annually, until it reaches $170 a tonne in 2030.

Globe and Mail- Federal officials asked Facebook to take down false allegations about Trudeau
The country’s top civil servant directed bureaucrats to ask Facebook to remove a “false and inflammatory” story about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the 2019 election campaign, but did not make a similar request of WeChat, which spread false information about Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole and MP Kenny Chiu in the 2021 election, the public inquiry into foreign interference heard Friday.

You thought that was hyperbole?
Canada’s Foreign Interference Commission heard Wednesday that Conservative MP Michael Chong, who was threatened by Chinese intelligence operators in Toronto, fears foreign agents could infiltrate closed party leadership races and effectively appoint Canadian prime ministers and premiers.
Chong’s testimony reflected concerns from CSIS intelligence documents exclusively reported by The Bureau, which found Chinese proxy agents have allegedly infiltrated leadership contests for provincial and national parties recently. […]
The inquiry also heard for the first time that Chinese agents or proxies could have targeted Chong with threats back in 2019.
But when Chong raised the concern of a “spoofed” email to Liberal Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, she neglected to respond.

Let Them Eat Taser
Court proceedings for a number of those involved with the Coutts Freedom Convoy protest will be resuming soon; pre-trial hearings for Tony Olienick and Chris Carbert resume on March 18, and the trial of Marco Van Huigenbos, who had become the de-facto representative of the protesters at Coutts, and a number of his co-accused, get under way on April 2.
Pre-trial hearings for Van Huigenbos and Co. wrapped up recently, and some interesting responses from the Crown to defense applications took place.

Ezra was following the jury selection yesterday on X.
While we’re waiting for the next juror, the scene:
1. One judge.
2. Five clerks.
3. Three defendants.
4. Three prosecutors.
5. Four defence lawyers.
6. Two cops.
For a mischief trial.
“The warning from the OPP had come over the farmer’s phones the night before.”
Anyone with a farm tractor, transport or other vehicle going slow on the highway on April 1, to protest the carbon tax hike that day, would be charged under the Highway Traffic Act for endangering people.
There was a shrug from the dairy and cash crop farmers, transport drivers and other drivers, including a Scot with a French accent wearing a tin foil hat, all congregated in Herb’s Truck Stop parking lot.
They had seen this movie before, where threats were made.
“If it keeps moving, regulate it”
Everywhere you turn more compliance, more paperwork to fill out, and a ballooning public sector to administer it.
Look no further than the new ‘Renters Bill of Rights’. A solution in search of a problem, the new bill proposes landlords to disclose a clear history of apartment pricing, a nationwide standard lease agreement, and a requirement for landlords to report tenants rental history to the credit bureaus.
This announcement is so insanely ridiculous it has me scratching my head wondering who is being paid to advise this government on housing policy?
Documenting past rent prices will do nothing to alleviate rent inflation, nor does it give any tenant additonal bargaining power when vacancy rates across all major metros are sub 3%. Are the feds creating a new app to report rents and credit scores?
Perhaps we can call this one ‘RentCan’…

The Food Professor- Food Sales Are Telling Us Canada Is Getting Poorer At An Alarming Rate
The gap in GDP per capita between Canada and the United States has widened by 106% since 2015, and this trend shows no signs of reversing. In other words, despite our growing population, Canada is becoming poorer, not richer.

A mind-blowing read at Sam Cooper’s The Bureau: How I accessed Top Secret intelligence on PRC election interference in Canada
This foggy September morning I was going to see with my own eyes whether disturbing information I was hearing about Chinese efforts to influence Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and fix Canada’s recent federal elections could be substantiated by government documentation.
Confidential Source 3, a senior Canadian intelligence officer with broad access to high-level information from CSIS and the Privy Council Office arrived on their cycle and pulled a clear plastic bag from a waste pouch.
Inside I could see a wad of documents and BIC mini-lighter.
Confidential Source 3 explained they could face serious legal consequences for showing classified records to me.

Mail & Guardian- No perks for Swedish MPs
Without official cars or private drivers, Swedish ministers and MPs travel in crowded buses and trains, just like the citizens they represent. Without any right to parliamentary immunity, they can be tried in a court of law like any other person. With no private secretaries at the door, their bare-bones parliamentary offices are as small as 8m2.

Global- Weak productivity is an economic ‘emergency,’ Bank of Canada warns
The Bank of Canada is warning that waning productivity growth in the country is an “emergency” that can force higher interest rates and limit rising wages for Canadians.
