Pardon, Not Sorry

The Board of Directors of Air Canada today announced…

… that Michael Rousseau has informed the Board that he will retire by the end of the third quarter of 2026, after nearly two decades of strong and dedicated leadership that has reinforced Air Canada’s place as a leader in the airline industry domestically and globally. Mr. Rousseau will continue to lead the company and to serve on its Board until that time.

In today’s other “learn who rules over you” news, Ma Wing-tsung all good.

The Missing Link

The first article in this feed details Carney’s plans to buy votes in the Maritimes, so there’s not a whole lot new there. The second one is more interesting for what it doesn’t mention, as opposed to what it does. Given the current geopolitical situation, you’d think Ottawa’s priority would be to streamline the process for building oil and gas pipelines as opposed to wind farms, but then again this is the Liberal Party we’re talking about here.

The prime minister went on to cite Houston’s ambitious plan for the Wind West project, which calls for building Canada’s first offshore wind farms at an enormous scale.

On Wednesday, Hydro-Québec said it has issued a formal request for information from energy developers to help it determine timelines and costs for building transmission lines to potentially connect Quebec’s electricity grid with Nova Scotia’s proposed offshore wind farms.

According to an event advertisement obtained by The Bureau;

…on Monday Carney will appear as the headline speaker at a $1,775-a-head fundraiser co-hosted by Ma at Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham, Ontario — in the riding held by co-host Energy Minister Tim Hodgson. The advertisement lists Ma as one of three hosts alongside Hodgson and MP Gary Anandasangaree. Tickets for those 35 and under are priced at $925.

Our Chinese-Installed Government In Ottawa

His real name is Ma Wing-tsung, but his friends call him “Proxy”.

The exchange on Thursday struck some online observers as extraordinary, in part due to the standing of the witness: Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, a 37-year veteran of the federal public service who served on the Canada-China Joint Committee on Science and Technology for the final seven years of her government career, holds a master’s degree in International Relations with a focus on China, and has visited China multiple times since 1979.

Michael Ma, the member of Parliament for Markham-Unionville, opened his questioning by asking McCuaig-Johnston whether she held an advanced degree in cybersecurity — framing it as a yes-or-no question. She replied that she did not, but added: “I have spent 37 years in that business. Ok.”

Ma interjected repeatedly, pressing her for “short answers.” He noted that she is affiliated with the China Strategic Risk Institute, a line of questioning that appeared designed to suggest the witness was professionally predisposed to identify threats emanating from Beijing.

He then asked: “This question then, is — you claim about forced labour in Xinjiang. Have you witnessed this yourself? Have you been there ever?”

“Sorry, I’m late for a meeting.”

They’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

The Vibe Economy

It’s my sense that interest rates are going to head down, not up, as the economy sours. While energy prices might be going up, their effect can be offset by slumping demand as businesses halt energy intensive projects. But in any case, David Rosenberg is spot on about there being no “vibrancy of demand” in the Canadian economy.

“But we are in a totally different orbit than we were back then,” Rosenberg said. “Where is the vibrancy of demand growth in a Canadian economy? It is nonexistent.”

First-quarter growth will likely come in below one per cent annualized, according to the latest gross domestic product data, well off the Bank of Canada’s forecast of 1.8 per cent, and core inflation has inched ever closer to the central bank’s two per cent target, though headline inflation is expected to accelerate on higher energy prices.

 

He, Too, Admires Their Basic Dictatorship

Colby Cosh;

The Supreme Court is an apex appellate court; its function is to give the final word solely on points of law, and certainly not to conduct a de novo trial, repeating the evidence-gathering work of the court of first instance. So what exactly is the point of the week-long jamboree and its parade of interveners? Are there novel and pertinent social or legal facts to be studied?

It is almost, as Sarkonak observes, as though the court were taking the work of a parliamentary committee onto itself — as if it were revving up to legislate in an area with profound social and political implications, in precisely the way parliamentary deputies would be traditionally expected to.

The Government of Canada is encouraging the Supreme Court to, on its own motion, capture new and previously unimagined powers for itself. It proposes that the court should be able to block some uses of the notwithstanding clause because, if renewed by successive governments often enough, they might create “irreparable impairments” to the enumerated rights and freedoms suspended. (Look into your crystal balls!) The government also invites the court to allow idle “declarations of invalidity” on statutes that use the clause: it proposes, in fact, that the court should be permitted to do this for explicitly electoral purposes, because “voters and their representatives are not always necessarily in a position to determine for themselves whether a law respects Charter rights and freedoms.”

SANCTIONS: The U.S. Treasury has sanctioned the Canadian company Seven Seas for International Trading and Logistics, a Vancouver-based company, over alleged ties to a $100 million Hezbollah financing network led by financier Alaa Hassan Hamieh.

Assets under U.S. jurisdiction are now frozen and American entities are barred from doing business with the firm, as authorities say the network used multiple front companies to move funds supporting Hezbollah operations.

Is Our Diversities Learing?

The Bureau;

Immigration fraud has overwhelmed Canada’s international student program, the Auditor General found Monday, with 153,000 students flagged as potentially non-compliant, funding to investigate only 2,000 potential fraud cases per year, and nearly all of 800 individuals who fraudulently entered Canada later approved for permanent status or immigration extensions.

One number above all others defines the scale of the failure: of 153,000 international students flagged as potentially non-compliant with Canadian study permit conditions, the federal government investigated fewer than 4,100 — laying bare an enforcement system so overwhelmed it cannot meaningfully police the program it is mandated to protect.

New Governor, Same As The Old Governor
