I had a bad feeling when Poilievre ditched the glasses; it felt like authenticity was being discarded in the service of image. Likely irrelevant, but that was my gut reaction.

Updates:

Jeneroux is postponing his resignation: “My exact date of departure will be determined at a later day but likely this spring.”

Basic Dictatorship New Governor Western Separatism 23 Comments

Brian Lilley;

In a submission to the Supreme Court, the federal government is asking the court to neuter part of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The case before the court is a challenge to Quebec’s Bill 21, the law on secularism in the province.

The province has of course used the notwithstanding clause for the bill as they have done several times over the decades with other laws. The notwithstanding clause is also known as section 33 of the Charter, it was a key of the package that got the Charter and the constitutional changes of 1982 passed.

Now, the federal government under Mark Carney is going to ask the courts to limit, in some ways remove this power from elected legislatures while reserving this power for judges.

“The constitutional limits of the s. 33 power preclude it from being used to distort or annihilate the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Charter, or to reduce them to des peaux de chagrin, that is, to shrivel them beyond recognition, if not transform them into mere legal fictions,” reads the submission.

Section 1 of the Charter allows judges to override Charter rights with no checks and balances, no recourse for citizens. Section 33 allows legislatures to override rights in a limited way and the citizens can vote out governments that they find abusive.

None of the people you will hear from on this issue ,who support the Carney government’s move, will ever ask that judges have their ability to override rights curtailed in anyway.

Expect several provinces, if not all, to oppose this attempt to change the Charter via judicial decree.

Good Lord, what are we waiting for?

As Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government prepares to announce the first projects of national interest it has selected, Radio-Canada has learned that no oil pipeline is on the list, according to three sources that have spoken to Radio-Canada.

“There is no [oil] pipeline project on the table,” one of them said, despite the federal government’s promise to make Canada an “energy superpower.”

No coincidence: Electricity prices in Canada just posted one of their sharpest spikes on record.

Chinada New Governor Western Separatism 28 Comments

Master negotiators.

The state-owned trading giant has accelerated moves to secure supplies from Australia, the world’s second largest exporter, following Beijing’s decision last week to impose a temporary duty of 75.8 per cent on shipments from Canada following an anti-dumping probe, said the people, who asked not to be named because they’re not authorized to talk to the media.

China has typically relied on Canada for the bulk of its imports of rapeseed and the meal that’s derived from crushing the crop into a product that’s easily fed to livestock and fish. That trade was already under fire when Beijing slapped hefty tariffs earlier this year on cargoes of rapeseed meal in a tit-for-tat response to Canadian duties on Chinese goods.

Global- Ford government to appeal court ruling which deemed bike lane removal unconstitutional

In his ruling, Superior Court Justice Paul Schabas said the province’s move to take out bike lanes would be “inconsistent” with the constitutional protection of life, liberty and security. The ruling said an updated version of the law, passed in June and requiring bike lane reconfiguration instead of removal, would also breach the charter.

Cancelled The Deplorables Western Separatism 67 Comments

Because I no longer recognize the one I’m in: Montreal church fined $2,500 for hosting U.S. Christian singer without permit.

More:

Let me get this right Montréal:

1) You canceled our permit for a peaceful outdoor worship gather for no reason.
2) You threatened a CHURCH on private property to not have church.
3) You send a battalion of police to intimidate us.
4) Antifa throws 2 smoke bombs at my head inside the church – you do nothing!
5) Now you want fine the church for doing what the church does – WORSHIP.

Every Canadian should be embarrassed/concerned with this. No bigger scandal in Canada.

What could possibly go right?

Bumped for update.

We Are All Treaty People Western Separatism 24 Comments

Winnipeg Sun;

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew chose not to sign a new interprovincial trade agreement unveiled Tuesday by Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario, citing the need for Indigenous consensus before moving forward with major infrastructure projects.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed during the Council of the Federation meeting in Huntsville, Ontario, commits the three provinces to collaborate on the construction of new pipelines, rail lines, and trade infrastructure. The goal is to expand market access for Canadian oil, gas, and critical minerals while reducing reliance on foreign trade partners.

Kinew’s absence from the agreement raises questions, especially given Manitoba’s geographic location as a natural link in any east–west corridor. However, in a public statement, the premier said Manitoba’s decision not to participate was intentional.

The time for end paying into equalization is now. Stop the talk and start the walk.

Children R Our Future Western Separatism You Might Be A Liberal 19 Comments

Brian Lilley;

A just released decision that I’m writing about in the Toronto Sun will make it nearly impossible to hand down adult sentences to young offenders.

Most of the judges ruling on this were appointed by Justin Trudeau, but two of those siding with the majority in the 7-2 ruling were appointed by Stephen Harper including Chief Justice Richard Wagner. The appointment of Wagner to the Supreme Court, later elevated to Chief Justice by Trudeau, may have been Harper’s worst appointment ever.[…]

The language passed by Parliament is pretty clear, if the Crown asks for an adult sentence, the legislation states that the court must be “satisfied” that the two part test to rebut the idea that young offenders have a lower moral culpability has been met. Now, thanks to Wagner and Justice Nicholas Kasirer, who wrote the majority decision, the judge doesn’t just need to be “satisfied” but the Crown must prove their case for an adult sentence “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Yes, you can get convictions on such a standard but saying you need this standard for an adult sentence will effectively make it impossible to meet.

This was a political decision by mostly, but not all, Trudeau court appointees.

And just in the nick of time.
