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.

“If it keeps moving, regulate it”

Steve Saretsky;

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’…

Our Chinese-Installed Government In Ottawa

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.

“Special Rapporteur” David Johnston receives mention at the end. Read it all.

Now Is The Time At SDA When We Juxtapose!

@CanadianPM, March 22nd Tomorrow at sunset, Jewish communities in Canada and around the world will celebrate the start of #Purim. Read Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s statement wishing a happy Purim to everyone celebrating. Chag Purim Sameach!

Blacklocks, March 26thA total 986 Gazans, the majority men and boys, have applied to enter Canada, records show. Immigration Minister Marc Miller has proposed to raise the current cap of 1,000 permits to an unspecified number: “The Department of Immigration has not refused any applications.”

Lilly: Trudeau’s big party tent is coming apart at the seams

The Libranos: Comfy Fur For All

National Post: Minister Dominic LeBlanc unveiled a suite of changes to the Elections Act on Wednesday, including expanded days for advance voting and an easier process for mail-in ballots, but it would also move the current proposed fixed election day from Oct. 20 to Oct. 27, 2025. […] The one-week delay has a significant impact on MP pensions, however.

The one-week delay is described as benefiting “primarily Conservatives” – who are on track for re-election so that’s moot. It’s primarily the defeated Liberals and NDP” who will leave with their cheques in hand.

Sock Puppets for Sock Puppets

When even Ed the Sock throws in the towel on Justin, you get the sense that the end has to be near.

As an aside, I remember when Ed used to be genuinely funny.

The Honourable Member For Air India (Bumped)

Gets taken to the woodshed.

Good times.

Update: I’ve been watching the debate on CPAC and a Liberal member has introduced a desperation amendment so they can crawl out of this hole… I guess the reports of frantic backroom negotiations were on target. developing…

OOPS! The BQ is complaining that THE PAPER NAPKIN HAS NO VERSION IN FRENCH. LOL … and debate is suspended.

Update 2: And they’re back… and the unilateral recognition of “the state of Palestine” is gone. Fracking delicious.

The circus has descended into shitshow.

Brian Lilley wraps up: Utter chaos.

Your Tax Dollars At Work

Via @visegrad24: One of the main gangs in Haiti just released a high quality propaganda video



In this video, we can see men in uniform, well armed, equipped with almost new vehicles displaying a logo displaying a dinosaur head, the symbol of this criminal group. This raised countless questions. The simplest and certainly the most important: where did these materials come from and how were they able to arrive so easily at their destination? In a country like Haiti where no institution functions, the people will never have an answer.
