    GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau’s handgun ‘freeze’ won’t freeze illegal handguns

    The problem with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s handgun freeze is that it won’t freeze guns smuggled illegally into Canada from the U.S. which account for 85% of all handguns used for criminal purposes. The Trudeau government knows this — it said as much in a 2018 discussion paper on gun...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says it is UNLIKELY (?) that his party would pull their support for the Liberals if the Public Order Emergency Commission examining the federal government's invocation of the Emergencies Act concludes that doing so was not justified. In an interview on CTV's Question...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    Ruling it illegal, & “BRANDING” it illegal are to very different things. In this case the Gov’t & much of the media branded it illegal much in the same vein as Trudeau/Singh branded it racist & misogynistic long before it reached Ottawa. The reaction was about optics and not legalities.

    Let's ban Halloween.

    I still like Petros’ idea for Halloween: “Ontario Shop Teacher” or “Rebel News Reporter David Menzies”:

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    There are two distinct narratives about last winter’s Freedom Convoy emerging from the current judicial inquiry into the Trudeau government’s imposition of the Emergencies Act. Let’s call the first narrative – the one being peddled by politicians and “progressive” journalists at the time – the...

    Tory Party members want Truss out and Johnson back

    In 2014, Mordaunt appeared on reality television programme Splash! Although her Labour opponents criticised the media appearance, questioning whether her focus should instead have been on her constituency work, Mordaunt stated that the response was overwhelmingly positive and defended her...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    The leader of the Conservative Party believes there was no need for the federal government to invoke the Emergencies Act if Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would have just sat down and listened to what some of the truckers had to say. "He didn't have to agree with them," said Pierre...

    Nova Scotia mass shooting inquiry: Advice given to witness worries former judge

    The average Canadian needs to read the equivalent of a newspaper today then. The Conservative opposition says that Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair and RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki need to resign now that a newly released audiotape has revived allegations of political meddling in...

    Bill’s C-10 & C-11. If we aren’t talking about it already, shouldn’t we be?

    OTTAWA — Frances Haugen has a theory. http://apple.news/AagPoesFjTkeL8__4XKpOxg It’s about what might have happened if Canada had an online safety law — a mechanism that would force social media companies to be more transparent about potentially harmful content on their platforms — before the...

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    PUTZBRUNN, Germany — Konrad Kötterl lights another cigarette, which seems risky in a barn full of firewood. This is not cheap wood, either. The price of the pallets Kötterl sells has doubled since last year. “It’s not even cheaper to heat with wood,” Kötterl says during our conversation. “But...

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    In 2015, Justin Trudeau was adamant: “Canadians need to have faith in their government’s honesty.” He called for more openness and transparency and an urgent need to shine a light on the government. Further, “the utmost care and prudence in the handling of public funds” would be a foundational...

    Tory Party members want Truss out and Johnson back

    Well, for bulges in your nether regions anyway. 😳 (A truss should be worn all day and be put on before rising in the morning. Trusses are usually removed at night but if a patient has a bad cough, a truss might have to be worn in bed. Elastic band trusses are more comfortable to wear in bed...

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    I think it only works that way in theory. The GG is appointed by the Queen (or King now, I guess) on the advice of the PM. If the GG entertains the idea above, I think she’ll be told to “Shut up and go stand in the corner or we’ll Payette your arse in a heartbeat!”….& away goes the perks and...
