Liberals push 'proven plan' for economy as Trudeau holds cabinet retreat in London, Ont.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau begins a two-day cabinet retreat in London, Ont., Thursday, taking stock of what remains on the Liberal checklist as he looks ahead to the next election.
Government sources told CBC News that ministers are acutely aware the clock is ticking to 2019 and plan to drive a message to Canadians that strong numbers and high consumer confidence are signs Liberal policies are working.

A spokesperson for the prime minister said continuing the plan to create jobs and grow the economy in all parts of the country is at the top of the cabinet agenda.

"Discussions throughout the retreat will focus on advancing our government's key objectives of strengthening the economy, ensuring equality of opportunity for all Canadians and growing the middle class," said Cameron Ahmad.
"Cabinet will also discuss implementation of our economic agenda and delivering concrete results on our commitments."
Cabinet ministers, joined by Peter Harder, the government's leader in the Senate, met for a private dinner last night at a downtown hotel, where senior staff also gathered.
Budget in the works
Michael Barber, who advises the government on "deliverology," and Dominic Barton, who chairs the government's council of economic advisers, will attend the meeting in southwestern Ontario.
Finance Minister Bill Morneau, who is now preparing the next federal budget, has been tweeting about the government's track record.
Chloé Luciani-Girouard, a spokesperson for Morneau, said he's building on a "proven plan" and that the government remains committed to growing the economy while promoting gender equality.
Last year's budget introduced the first-ever gender statement and increased funding for gender-based analysis. That will be expanded, she said.
"These were important steps — but they were just the beginning," Luciani-Girouard said. "As we prepare for budget 2018, we are building on that commitment and making sure gender issues and equality for women and men are top of mind as we consider each and every budgetary decision we make."
Liberal checklist of promises
Beyond the federal budget plan, ministers meeting in London will also be whittling down the list of Liberal priorities that remain unchecked, including legalizing and regulating marijuana, launching an infrastructure bank and ending long-term boil water advisories on First Nations reserves.
There's also the challenge of dealing with the Trump administration amid escalating trade disputes and growing uncertainty over the fate of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The London retreat comes as Trudeau holds a series of town hall meetings, where he has faced a rash of tough questions from the public, ranging from a multi-million dollar payment to Omar Khadr to rehabilitating former ISIS fighters who have returned home to Canada.
The prime minister is also reeling from an ethics commissioner's report that found he violated four sections of the Conflict of Interest Act by vacationing on the private island resort of the Aga Khan.
Conservative MP Peter Kent said Trudeau will not be able to escape that ethical lapse by turning the channel to the economy.
"A lot of talk, not a lot of substance, and [there are] serious concerns about the transparency, accountability and the ethical behaviour beyond the letter of the law that the prime minister talks a lot about, but apparently regards himself to be above those rules, regulations and laws," he told CBC News.
Time running out
NDP house leader Peter Julian said the Liberal messaging on helping the middle class runs counter to the fact many families are going deeper into debt just to maintain the same standard of living.
"It's a bit of a delusion for the Liberals when we're seeing all the hardship that comes from this record level of family debt and the increasing poverty and increasing homelessness," he said. "For the Liberals to say things are great — they are simply not, for the average Canadian."
Julian said the Liberals are running out of time to deliver on key promises, and have already broken several related to electoral reform, the environment and housing for First Nations.
"I think the government made a series of promises a lot of Canadians agreed with. But when you look at their track record, for the most part they've broken those promises," he said. "They have to understand that Canadians will hold them to account in 2019 for the broken promises of 2015."
Trudeau will hold a town hall at London's Western University tonight, in an auditorium that holds 2,300 people.

Canada buys $17M Canterbury farm in New Zealand

The sale to Ramsay Dairy Farm Limited was approved by the Overseas Investment Office (OIO) in November last year.
A company owned by the Canadian government has bought at $17 million dairy farm in Canterbury.

The sale to Ramsay Dairy Farm Limited was approved by the Overseas Investment Office (OIO) in November last year.
The company invests in the Canadian public sector pension investment board.
The sale included more than 335 hectares of land at 803 Ardlui Road, and about 72 hectares of land at Morgans Road in Hororata.
It includes a medium-sized dairy farm and a neighbouring diary support block which will be connected to create a larger dairy farm.

The decision noted that the company has previously invested in New Zealand.
In November 2015, the OIO approved an $18m sale of two farms on Domain Road in Oxford, Canterbury, which were combined to create a larger dairy farm.

I first posted in the Immigration thread maybe it fits better here

'No longer a citizen': Government letter tells mom of 4 she's not Canadian

"This is my home. It's Canada. I've lived here all my life," she said.
But the government has informed Anneliese she's in fact not a Canadian citizen and has cancelled the certificate that had proved she was.
"It kind of makes you worry, like what are they going to do to me?"

2009 law repeal wasn't retroactive

Anneliese is a so-called "Lost Canadian" due to a law that required second-generation Canadians who were born outside Canada to re-apply for citizenship before turning 28.
The Harper government repealed the law in 2009 but didn't make it retroactive, meaning it was too late for anyone who missed the deadline before their 28th birthday. It is an issue that has affected many Mennonites such as Anneliese.
Many people, including Anneliese, weren't even aware of the law.

Anneliese's problems began in 2012 when she tried to get a passport to travel as a celebration of beating breast cancer. Anneliese said a clerk advised her she might have an issue because of her birth year and home country.
Officials denied her passport application and sent her a proof of citizenship form to fill out. She completed it and received a certificate and letter in the mail telling her she was a Canadian citizen, and allowing her to get a passport. She thought the issue was resolved until last Friday.
"Just when you thought it was fixed then you're like, 'oh now you're like no longer a citizen.'"

Gotta get rid of the lazy tax money gobbling Mennonites

Ottawa ready to help print media in budget

OTTAWA - All signs point to print media getting a much-needed financial assist from the federal government in the next budget. The financing is expected to be doled out through the Canada Periodical Fund, which currently assists print magazines, non-daily newspapers and digital periodicals.
Heritage Minister Melanie Joly reportedly discussed the matter during a meeting Thursday with representatives of the Federation nationale des communications, which represents 7,000 people who work in culture and communications.
Joly's spokesman, Simon Ross, didn't deny the report and says there will be an announcement in the coming weeks or months concerning the $75-million annual fund, which is currently under review.
Ross said the government wants to correct some of the problems with the fund "to adapt it to the digital age" because it was created before the advent of the internet.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Quebec Le Soleil last week he was preoccupied with the financial crisis facing media in Canada and that the decision on federal funding would come in the next budget.

Almost all the Canadian media gets a payoff from the Libs. ;)

Yes. They are treated as valued members of our society who perform an essential task. Not quite in the Harper wheelhouse.
Really? Spewing propaganda and pushing narratives are valued, essential tasks? Maybe if the news media got back to good ol' fashioned journalism you'd have a point.
Let's look at the recent event involving that 10 yr old muslim girl. You excused the CBC and other media's over-reaction to her story by stating that police had a description of the alleged attacker and the media were simply doing their jobs.
Well yes and no. They could have very easily run the story, sans the rush to push a narrative, with just very basic info and a description of the alleged assailant. They didn't need to run a big f*cking story about how scared the kid was and blah blah blah a mere 50-90 minutes after the alleged incident.
But nah, they decided to push the bullshit narrative about how horribly oppressed muslims are in Canada.
