Our little dictator isn’t going anywhere. Nothing to see here folks, move along.
We should have no sympathy for Trudeau and we should have no sympathy for Freeland. The question now is whether Jagmeet will stop worrying about his pension and do the right thing.
Another woman thrown under the Trudeau bus. And will Justin’s NDP lapdog still support him?
Calgary Herald- Emission reduction as much a threat as Trump’s tariffs
If fully implemented, as is the intent of federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, this reduction could equate to a cut in oil production of three million barrels per day, with the goal of phasing out production entirely. No credible industry analyst would contend that such required emission reductions are feasible within this time frame without a dramatic reduction in production.
Our Dear Leader and his lapdogs eat well wherever they go. 71k on food for a four day trip.
Piggybacking on yesterday’s post by Francisco, Gad Saad chimed in, which drew Elon Musk’s attention.
I then saw a photo of Elon Musk carrying his little son on his shoulders, part of “Take Your Child to Work Day” in April. I asked X’s Grok to draw an image of Justin Trudeau being taken to work on “someone’s” shoulders and it provided this rather apropos gem:

Finally, if anyone actually thinks that what Trudeau said about Harris is sincere, you need to go back and read about him firing Jody Wilson-Raybould because she refused to go along with his corruption. He DOES NOT respect women, let alone aboriginal ones!
CTV- Trudeau calls Harris election loss ‘attack’ on women’s progress
“And yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president. Everywhere, women’s rights and women’s progress is under attack. Overtly, and subtly.”
So will our little girly boy take on Trump to improve his political position? Canada will suffer if he does.
Blacklock’s- GST Holiday Costs 80% More
A GST holiday will cost 80 percent more than claimed by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, the Budget Office said yesterday. Analysts said Freeland failed to account for mandatory compensation owed provinces that harmonized their own sales tax collections with the GST.
Two in three Canadians think the federal government giving a $250 cheque to
working families is a poor (23%) or very poor idea (43%) while less than one
in five think this is a very good (six per cent) or good idea (nine per cent).
About one in two Canadians think the temporary elimination of GST and HST
on items like grocery store meals and internet bills is a very poor (32%) or
poor idea (19%), while about one in four think this is a very good (12%) or
good idea (16%).
Trudeau thinks he can deal with Trump the way he dealt with the Freedom Convoy. – Christine Douglass-Williams
And Freeland says don’t worry, be happy. The budget will balance itself.
National Post- The most nonsensical Trudeau gun ban yet
So, if you were legitimately rounding up a bunch of guns “designed for the battlefield,” it would be very strange if that list contained a bunch of firearms chambered in .22 caliber.
But this one does. Most notably, the list includes the GSG-16, a .22- caliber “plinker” rifle that is occasionally sold in pink. There’s also several guns made to look like famous military rifles, but which have the very non-military capability of firing .22 bullets one at a time.

No. No, you didn’t.
Blacklock’s- GST Benefit Worth Under $5
Cabinet’s GST holiday will save the typical Canadian $4.51, the Senate national finance committee was told yesterday.
“When it comes to retail, the average consumer will save approximately $4.51 over that two-month period per Canadian,” said Charlebois. “That is based on sales volumes.”
“I would say we’re in a recession, I wouldn’t even call it a technical one,” said Poloz, now special adviser to Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, during a webinar on Tuesday. “A technical one is a superficial definition that you have two quarters of negative growth in a row, and we haven’t had that, but the reason is because we’ve been swamped with new immigrants who buy the basics in life, and that boosts our consumption enough.
