Justin Trudeau: Canadian Handgun Salesman Of The Year

Basic Dictatorship Cold Dead Hands Shiny Pony 35 Comments

CBC;

“You get a lot of people that as soon as they announce new gun control measures, everyone wants to go in and buy a gun,” said Dan Shemley, warehouse manager of Great North Precision Canada, which sells firearms in Kelowna, B.C. […]

He says the store had sold out of all the handguns it had by noon on Tuesday.

Daybreak South producers called three other stores that sell handguns in the Kelowna area this week and all of them said they were extremely busy.

On Tuesday, a line of customers had formed on the street outside Reliable Gun, a firearms store in Vancouver, B.C. Reliable Gun’s website now has a note posted saying the store is closed until further notice as staff “works relentlessly to get all the current orders processed.”

CBC News reached out to Reliable Gun but did not receive a response.

Most Open and Transparent Government In The World

This is the first time I’ve ever heard of a “secret order-in-council”.

Justin Trudeau, “Canadians deserve the most transparent and open government in the world”

True North- Trudeau government adopted 72 secret orders-in-council

CBC- Trudeau government has adopted dozens of secret cabinet orders since coming to power

During a six-year period under former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, eight secret orders-in-council were introduced that were related to the Investment Canada Act, said Bouchard. During that period — April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2015 — the Harper government adopted 22 secret orders-in-council.

The Liberal Destruction Of Canada’s Military

Military Shiny Pony The Libranos 48 Comments

As you probably already know, the Liberal Party’s former Supreme Court Justice came out with her report today. It calls for major culture changes. I saw this coming before I retired as an army officer. Some of the changes she wants is the possible closure of military colleges. Officer recruits would go to civilian university. And of course she wants more women in the forces, including more in leadership positions. I’m quite happy now puttering around the family farm and at my shack in Muskoka.

The Libranos: Gotta Spend Money To Steal Money

Staff in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office met with a group that received funding to produce a report recommending a home equity tax, according to new documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

“During the election, Trudeau told voters he wasn’t going to impose a home equity tax, so why are his staff meeting about home equity taxes?” asked Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of the CTF. “If Trudeau wants Canadians to believe he’s not coming after our homes, then his government should stop acting like it’s considering a home equity tax.”

When Canadians sell the home they own and live in – their primary residence – they do not pay tax on the proceeds.

A group called Generation Squeeze received funding from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to study housing policy. The resulting report includes recommendations for a home equity tax.

Someone check Maggie Trudeau’s speaking engagement calendar.

In April of 2022, CMHC confirmed it gave an additional $200,000 to Generation Squeeze. The CTF also obtained records of Generation Squeeze’s pitch for more taxpayers’ money to influence public opinion in favour of a home equity tax.

The documents reference the development of “key messages” aimed at changing public opinion about the group’s home equity tax proposal.

When asked, the CMHC told the CTF the federal government will not be moving forward with any proposals to tax principal residences and said any suggestion to the contrary was false.

The agency did not say if it would keep funding Generation Squeeze’s advocacy work.

Related: Strangely, anyone who sold their home that year was questioned on their income tax as to how much they paid for their home, plus the year, as well as how much they sold it for.

Ronald Reagan, “Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”

Lorrie Goldstein- Trudeau’s carbon tax cheques will make most of us poorer

My view is that the Trudeau government’s carbon tax has always been a Trojan horse or, if you prefer, an elaborate bait-and-switch scheme, built on the logical fallacy that paying a new tax will make most people richer.

Trudeau obviously hopes that when people living in the four provinces where his carbon tax applies start receiving quarterly cheques in July — with an initial double payment to cover the January to June period this year — they’ll forget that most of them will be paying more in carbon taxes than they’ll get in rebates.

C2C Journal- Frozen: How Canada’s Banks Betrayed their Customers During the Emergencies Act

Even more curious, the banks were never given written instructions on how to implement this policy. As Department of Finance representative Isabelle Jacques told the committee, “We haven’t sent [the banks] any written details or information. However, we have made ourselves available to answer any questions the various institutions may have around implementing the order.” The entire “nuclear option” scheme was apparently applied on the basis of verbal instructions.

The federal government was clearly hasty and slipshod in going after supporters of the trucker protest. The policy was neither well-thought out nor legally iron-clad. This can likely be ascribed to the prime minister’s eagerness to politicize the event, and his rush in trying to bring it to a quick conclusion. The bigger question is why the banks would go along with a scheme that made them the tip of the government’s spear. Not every industry is prepared to toss their customers’ interests aside so quickly.
