I think perhaps the United and Conservative parties might form a coalition government if together they have enough seats to govern.

[lanforod]

Coalition, maybe. Could see that. Merger, I doubt it.

Dumpster fire of a PM is right. His response to the premiers pushback against more tax is that “they can come up with another way to frame more tax.”

I can't stand the sight or sound of Justin anymore. It's disgusting that thanks to the NDP we are stuck with him for another 18 months.

Plus a week, apparently.

Liberals will invest in the middle class and those working hard to join it by making it easier to find an affordable place to call home, said the Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, Justin Trudeau, today.

“Safe, adequate, and affordable housing is essential to building strong families, strong communities, and a strong economy,” said Mr. Trudeau. “We have a plan to make housing more affordable for those who need it most – seniors, persons with disabilities, lower-income families, and Canadians working hard to join the middle class.”

2015….

This doesn’t sound good.

After the 2019 federal election CSIS director David Vigneault decided to “recall” a controversial intelligence assessment saying a “politically-connected Canadian” had impacted Canada’s 2019 vote in Liberal MP Han Dong’s Toronto riding, Ottawa’s Foreign Interference Commission heard Thursday.

…

Subsequent CSIS intelligence found irregularities including high school students from Mainland China recruited by Han Dong’s campaign and bussed in to support his nomination in 2019, the Commission heard this week.

That intelligence said “the students were provided with falsified documents to allow them to vote, despite not being residents of Don Valley North [and] the documents were provided by individuals associated with a known proxy agent.”

It added that “intelligence reported after the election indicated that veiled threats were issued by the PRC Consulate to the Chinese international students, implying their student visas would be in jeopardy and that there could be consequences for their families back in the PRC if they did not support Han Dong.”

Minute 38 near the end. Trudeau is changing the rulebook to allow for military use against Canadian citizens.... https://www.cpac.ca/...2c-09d8f9a989ac

...Trudeau is changing the rulebook to allow for military use against Canadian citizens...

Note how the little rat turned it over to the Minister of Defense to announce that part.

PM's six-day Indo-Pacific trip cost $2M, including $200K in catering

 

Costs for the trip included $190,000 on in-flight catering, $643,000 for aircraft handling and fuel fees, $422,000 for lodging, $129,000 for ground transportation and $427,000 for RCMP security costs. The numbers contained in the documents are not final, as invoices and claims are still being processed.

I wonder how much taxpayers were charged for brownface make-up?

Although perhaps this was a previous meeting.

Also why were we paying for Justin's son to come along on this junket?

...Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, his oldest son Xavier, and 51 others departed on the six-day trip on September 2 aboard a Royal Canadian Air Force CC-150 Polaris, destined for Indonesia and Singapore, plus a visit to India to attend last summer’s G20 summit...

A solid roast base in truth. Unfortunately.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Economists and experts say they're expecting the federal government to raise taxes in Tuesday's budget to help offset billions of dollars in new spending already promised in the pre-budget announcements that have been landing almost daily since the end of March.

 

Those announcements add up to more than $38 billion in commitments over a number of years. Because $17 billion of those commitments involve loan-based programs, about $21 billion could hit the government's bottom line directly.

 

And that figure doesn't include other new budget measures that haven't yet been announced.

 

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has said the deficit will not increase in this year's budget. Canada's economy has so far avoided recession, but growth is still slow. That leaves the government with no option but to increase revenues to pay for new spending while keeping the deficit steady.

The most fiscally and socially irresponsible government in Canadian history.

[Matt R.]

Same here. Need to increase revenue to offset increased expenses.

[Nparker]

Better yet, reduce expenses. We could save $1.4 billion today by defunding the CBC and hardly anyone would notice.

[Matt R.]

I would love to reduce expenses! Too bad they keep going up.

[Nparker]

Not coincidently, as a result of increased taxes.
