And The Pipeline Will Abort Itself

National Post

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday there’s no problem with a Canada Summer Jobs grant that will fund anti-pipeline activism, arguing his government must stand up for the principle of free expression and advocacy.

 

That may surprise the religious organizations who have been battling the government for months over the same summer jobs grants, thanks to a new clause that requires them to attest their “core mandate” respects reproductive rights, defined as the right to access abortions.

 

The issue dominated a fiery question period in the House of Commons Wednesday, as the Conservatives hammered Trudeau over the fact the British Columbia-based Dogwood Initiative was approved for federal government funding that, according to a job posting, will be used to hire an assistant to “help our organizing network stop the Kinder Morgan pipeline and tanker project.”

  1. Stand up for free expression? Of course.

    Fund it from taxes? Never!

    Advocacy must be self-funded or voluntarily funded, in every case.

    1. That has always been the sleaziest thing the Liberals do. Government funding of advocacy groups to lobby the government to do by stealth what Liberal governments won’t do in the open. And if that doesn’t work there’s always the Court Challenges program.

      1. ” – You see? ALL these people, our youngest, best and brightest, AGREE with me!”

        “You’re paying them to.”

        “SHUT UP! – what’s THAT got to do with anything???!”

        They’ve done this for decades. Under Johnny C, they paid Wendy Cukier’s Coalition for Gun Control a sum of (taxpayer) money to study “gun law in Canada”. Six months later, the Coalition for Gun Control spent that amount – to the penny – lobbying the government for more gun control. Coincidence?

    2. Stand up for free expression? Of course!*

      *Unless that expression centers around the sanctity of life, Christ, His Church, the rights of Christians, capitalism, free markets, actual gender, Native corruption, standing your ground, defending your property.

  2. PM Butts is an integral part of the well funded political ENGO activism shrouded in green to mollify superficially intelligent voters along with the mindless- appearing Spawn to push the green theocracy / leftist agenda. None of these organizations should have a tax deductible status but as Vivian Krause has documented, Butts was well compensated by one of them. The Spawn has no intention of supporting the KM expansion and as proof, Butts is still employed by Canadian taxpayers.

  3. Well of course “True-Dope-ia” really believes in vibrant free speech provided you support only extreme leftist causes…!

    Naturally, only LIEberally unwelcome opinions should be banned and not heard…

    So if your speech doesn’t support the LIEberal political brand it should cost you funding, your job and other necessaries of life.
    Clearly, according to the LIEberals pro-life speech is inconvenient and offensive; whilst killing the unborn child the day before they are born should be protected. Moreover, if you are a non climate-alarmist you should similarly be given the bum’s rush off the LIEberal “comfy fur” carbon tax reservation.

    “True-Dope-ia” gives new meaning to TOWERING HYPOCRISY.

    Prosit!

    1. Trudeau admires China’s basic dictatorship and would love to implement their system here.

      China’s terrifying “social credit” surveillance system is expanding

      By 2020, the country plans to give all its 1.4. billion citizens a personal score, based on how they behave, according to CBS News. The government started working on its so-called social credit system back in 2014, which ranks citizens on their trustworthiness, including whether they jaywalk, buy Chinese-made products, what they post online, and whether they smoke in nonsmoking areas. Those deemed trustworthy can get discounts on energy bills and better interest rates at banks, while those considered untrustworthy can reportedly be stopped from buying property and even high-speed internet.

  4. He must take, what, 20-30 selfies every day? Couldn’t some clever person invent a faux phone that explodes? Just sayin’

  5. We already have a 10 cent per litre federal excise tax on gasoline. What’s that in CO2 terms?

  6. Mr Dressup seems quite proud of his hypocrisy and comfortable with his low IQ. What women see in this putz is beyond me. And the Liberal Party of Canada is sowing tribalism, discord, separation and hate.

  7. He’s doing what PET did some 50 years ago with that silly Opportunities for Youth program. And then there was the Company of Young Canadians…..

    Then again, didn’t the commies have their Young Pioneers?

  8. I have a problem with a Canada Summers Job Grant that funds activism period! But it will make Justin’s negotiations with Kinder Morgan more “honest”. It’s kind of like wearing a Canadiens sweater into the Air Canada Centre and shouting “Go-Leafs-Go”.

    1. “I have a problem with a Canada Summers Job Grant that funds activism period!”

      And, echoing rzr at 5:12 am, yes.

      It infuriates me that the very same small businesses that can’t afford to hire summer help because of regulatory bullshit and expense, have their tax-dollars extorted to pay the salaries of student employees elsewhere.

      The insult is compounded when the money goes to counter-productive parasites like this agency. It rubs crap in the faces of every independent business owner in the country.

      It’s a pity that Scheer doesn’t have the balls to stand up and use this kind of language.

  9. The connections are being made, the cute socks are not to impress other “world leaders”, this dope has been instructed to create chaos, revenue suppression, ie stalling of projects, and the modern day agitators, ie (useful idiots). The 5 eyes are being looked into deep, by very smart people. Hopefully “it” will end up dancing around with a tunic , a string, an organ and a tin cup like “it” should be doing now, for full disclosure.

  10. everything the lieberal government does is making more and more separists in the west.

  11. You know this, “You can’t see the trees for the forest”

    People,,,the Canada Summers Job Grant is just part of the forest,,,what people can’t seem to see or understand, is that TRUDEAU DOESN’T WANT THE PIPELINE AT ALL !!! Despite his dramatic performances to the contrary, HE DOES NOT WANT THE PIPELINE BUILT. Trudeau will use anyone he can, be it Native chiefs, Enviro wackos, the NDPers, American enviro politico activists, duped Canadians, brain washed college and highschool students, Greenies et al.

    Get it through your heads, he’s deceiving the media and Canadians, THIS A-HOLE PM DOESN’T WANT THE PIPELINE BUILT !

    1. The reason is that PM Spuddo, like his daddy PM Middle Finger, sees a prosperous Alberta as not only an aberration but an outright threat to the rule of the Laurentian elite. Alberta must be poor and subservient, dependent solely on Big Daddy Government for everything. In other words, Alberta is to be Fishland West.

  12. Why not give that student a good summer construction job that actually contributes something to society. But then again our education system turns out people only educated in Gender studies, Cardboard sign making and Demonstrating.

    Turdeau speaks with forked tongue.

  13. If activism is “free speech” which Socky McSockpuppet is in favour of, someone should submit a grant proposal to hire students to help protest against abortion clinics and/or one of his other PET projects.

  14. On top of all that, we also have Comrade Horgan demanding 100% FN buy in for all projects. This country is doomed, the natives can’t even reach agreement with each other, but our leftists use this 100% as a delay tool. Sickening

  15. Remember folks, this is the guy who said we need to legalize marijuana to keep it out of the hands of kids.

    1. This country is committing economic suicide, aided and abetted by brain dead activist provincial governments. Idiots all of them, who will get golden pensions when they have completed their damage, while the serfs pay the price.

  16. If BC is passing anti-pipeline laws (asking for Court opinion) Alberta & Sask should ask for border duty for all goods shipped from BC
    through their provinces… This will shut down Container Ship viability from BC ports. Shut off all Oil & Gas delivery to BC

    The separation of Alberta & Sask from Canada would create the SAME barrier for BC .. Without open borders BC would be locked out of Eastern Canada…Happy times for the Maritine & Quebec ports

    Get Ugly & Use a big stick…

  17. I’m surprised that the Left wing isn’t all for the TRANS-mountain pipeline. Aren’t they for TRANS-anything?

  18. What is truly revealing here,is the silence of the Liberal Members of Parliment.
    Wherefore are these paragons of virtue, these “servants of the people”, such selfless patriots…?
    The silence from my Liberal MP is natural,a stump is smarter and your average weasel has higher ethics.
    But rumour had it that Justin’s People included some real patriots,upstanding citizens, eager to serve the interests of their constituents.
    Well?
    They applaud like trained seals as this part time actor demeans the institution we pay them to inhabit.
    If the “Man who fakes orgasm”(Ahhh,ahhh,ummm,ahhh,lisp,gasp,wimper) holds power for a full 4 years, the Liberals will be wiped out.
    If they permit the fool to front them for the next two years, being wiped out politically may be the least of their fears.
