    Chrystia Freeland

    Damn, not sure how the quote function mixed the two of you up above. Weird, & I’m sure it’s something I’ve done.

    Chrystia Freeland

    …& that’s not what’s being proposed, but something has to happen. As a Canadian, do you “feel” (not the objective evidence) that things are functioning better now than they were a decade ago as a whole? Are things 42% better? Is healthcare moving 42% faster? Etc…? Which is ironic, as an...

    Chrystia Freeland

    Objective evidence? No, but I’m living through both then & now if that helps. I could Google but here we are. The growth rate under Trudeau of the civil service has been prolific, and what we get for out dollars sure doesn’t feel like it did a decade ago. Poilievre has committed to reduce about...

    Chrystia Freeland

    On Wednesday, the Tories set out clear benchmarks for the public service cleanup. The plan is to not replace employees when they leave, the party’s deputy leader, Melissa Lantsman, told the National Post. Given that around 17,000 staff members end their service each year, that will reduce the...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Ok, this is kinda funny, & sad, & shows a complete lack of understanding of the region & its (even very recent) history. Egypt & Jordan have both accepted Palestinian refugees in the recent past, & it bit them both in the arse. Black September anyone? The attacks in the Sinai in 2014? Egypt &...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    Saturday afternoon, Liberal MP Nathaniel Erksine-Smith held a small gathering at Beaches Brewpub in Toronto’s East end so that his special guest Mark Carney could make an “announcement” to the Beaches-East York community. Carney was given the rockstar treatment by this small crowd that gathered...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Yes, because they (the Jews Israelis Zionists) don’t care about the holocaustages, especially the civilian ones. Hamas released four Israeli female soldiers - and Israel freed 200 Palestinian prisoners. According to the deal, Hamas was to release civilians before soldiers, so does that mean...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    Huh…Trudeau’s cabinet minister backs Trudeau’s chosen successor. I’m shocked (not)!! Anand was first elected on Oct. 21, 2019, and made public works minister on Nov. 20, & will probably be one of the outgoing Liberal MP’s who won’t qualify for a gold plated pension if an election happens on or...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    This is just crazily insane…. The statement received relatively little coverage at the time because it was overshadowed by Chrystia Freeland refusing to deliver it and quitting cabinet, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told her he was removing her as finance minister. Giroux this week...

    Yes, in spite of the federal liberal government. How about Canadian exports elsewhere, other than to the US?

    Trudeau Makes Good on Ethical Energy to Germany

    …&…Japan's biggest top LNG buyer, JERA, plans to increase its purchases of liquefied natural gas from the United States to diversify its supply and meet demand growth spurred by data centres and AI, a senior executive told Reuters. Oh well. http://apple.news/Abaqnd_7sRxmDDOai0aYcvg

    Electric shock: A new study found that EVs were more expensive to fuel than gas-powered cars at the end of 2022

    During a press conference last week on Parliament Hill, Canada’s automakers urged the government to do away with new rules mandates requiring all new cars sold in Canada to be zero-emission by 2035. Canada remains steadfast in pushing ahead with its 2035 ban on internal combustion engines...

    Will Mark Carney (as an unelected PM) have a seat in Parliament?

    A brave warning and some big words, especially for those 14-year-old Liberal Party members who are poised to choose our new prime minister. Carney may look like a grown-up from where you’re sitting but his track record speaks otherwise. http://apple.news/Aj9LKeLuZT-i2ClTRKhgUGQ
