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.
Of course.
Additionally it would only be imported or parts slapped together as the materials are illegal to make or create in Canada.
Even our wood is imported as environmental laws and safety regulations destroy the business model in Canada with hefty non compliance fines.
Are our Native Communities self sustainable?
Nope, everything is imported and people are paid to live there.
Our western world governments are now solely comprised of thieves and liars.
Election now please.
J West.. an election won’t make any difference, unless PP is a Javier Milei in disguise.unless we shed the bloated civil service and completely rewrite the so-called “constitution” to give the provinces complete soveriegnty it will be more of the same old, same old.
Exactly correct.
Mostly agree, but a new constitution that enshrines individual rights like property rights, right to self defense, free speech, reasonable taxes, keep and bear arms etc and mandatory prison sentences for politicians that infringe on those rights. (even in imaginary emergencies)
Hopeful that Pollievre gets in, but as I always say about Cdn conservative parties; “SLIGHTLY better than the Liberals”
Kent homes, built in NB are well worth the money. Government as usual is the problem. Local rules and regulations and many times insane restrictions are a serious problem for building cheaper housing.
Same here in Ontario we have Royal Homes.
But something always comes with a trough to feed from.
We need accountability.
We are at the point in The Trudeau Aristocracy where the ignorant Ruler is completely oblivious as to why his lowly peasant carbon emitters hate him so much.
The FILTHY LIBERALS motto – “we need to do more”
Nothing you do is ever enough to please dear glorious leader and his garden gnome Barbie Deputy.
FILTHY LIBERALS need to be punished.
The trees that I planted 45 years ago must be a nice size now considering that we no longer use that wood anymore and we don’t have any other use for them.
Environmental laws make trying to harvest them for other difference products illegal and impossible.
I used to build log homes too… but that is a fad now.
If you scam, you might be a librul.
Progressive.
Like Rust.
So Harper appointed a Liberal to be Governor General? True to form. He only appointed Liberals to the Supreme Court.
It’s Canada.
1.The Fix is always in.
2. Scratch a Conservative find a Liberal.
3.Libranos rule.
Shrug. Uncle Davey is a mere toddler. For a snapshot of a true professional, here’s turdo’s buddy-in-linked-arms, Dirty Old Johnny Tory.
“Tory holds $15 million in stock, according to disclosed holdings. This is an increase from the $5.5 million he held in 2014.”

Brings to mind Mulroneys comment about Bryce mackasey
“ There’s no whore like an old whore”
Fits very well in this case I would say.
Well, Mulrooney had a mirror too……….as a good leftie, he was astute at projection.
Agreed Dan.
So a “manufactured home” takes “months” to build according to Trudeau’s propaganda. Of course, you can get a custom home done in “months” as well, if you have compliant inspectors.
The company is yet another grift.
so the bastard shyt just[inTURDeau] cant resist the nepotism and general
conflict of interest ANYWHERE
Remember when we were lectured by Canadian mainstream media and Liberal politicians that Johnston was an honorable man and any criticism of him was disgusting? Those stories sure haven’t aged well.
As for modular and RTM homes, I think assembly lines for mass production of affordable homes is more efficient than site builds. The problem, as always, is that corrupt and greedy politicians and their buddies will screw it up in the same way the screwed up ArriveCan and the Transmountain pipeline build.
Building wall panels in factories make sense, but you still end up limited to 8’6″ if you want to ship them via trucks and not require dimensional permits.
I’m not an expert in this area by any means but where I live fairly large mid-sized RTM homes are moved by semi-trucks on the highways. We have a few RTM builders in the area and one of only a few bridges that cross the S.Sask river, which creates traffic delays because the RTM homes take up both lanes when moving over the bridge. I’m guessing modular homes are also moved by a combination of semi-trucks and trains
Ya otter see the stuff goong north on Hwy 36. Can see em coming for miles, but haven’t been pushed in the ditch yet.
Yes, but those require dimensional permits, which increases costs, and limits the amount of shipping done.
You just build two 1/2’s of the house, ship them, and put them together on site. We called them “double wides” in the ol’ “trailerhood”.
Yup!
When I first read the headline tag, “Libranos: Governor General”, I mistakenly thought the posted article was discussing our current GG, Mary Simon. Oh, this piece discusses the former GG, David Johnston. We seem to be having trouble with our GGs of late.
Won’t get noticed by msmedia, doesn’t fit the narrative.
Better talk incessantly about eclipse and how we should not look at the sun even if here in Ontario is full cloudy today. Plus, countless BS articles everywhere with ‘experts’ explaining why it’s harmful. Really, that’s how smart we’ve become after 2000 years? We have to be lectured why it’s bad to look at the sun.
I don’t think we deserve to be saved from extinction. We’re stupid beyond repair.
Tabatha Bull, who also sits on Dexterra’s board of directors, was a guest speaker at the 2023 Liberal national convention.
