Editorial cartoonist Tim Dolighan, drawing in the Toronto Sun, seems, to me, to perfectly capture Jagmeet Singh’s dilemma: The New Democrats are NOT ready for an election. Neither, in my opinion, is the Conservative Party, but it is in far, far better shape than is the fourth party in Parliament. Thus, the Tories can bluster […]

Is our Parliament without value?
Andrew Coyne, writing in the Globe and Mail, a few days ago, made a point that bears repeating: “The Liberal government,” his column is headlined, “is making a mockery of Canada’s parliamentary democracy.” That’s right: Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are, according to the Cambridge Dictionary, making parliamentary democracy in Canada “seem stupid or without value.” And […]
An Election? Why?
I see, in the Globe and Mail, that Marieke Walsh and Paul Waldie report that “The Liberals are threatening opposition parties with an election if the Conservatives move ahead Tuesday with their attempt to create a special “anti-corruption” committee in the House of Commons.” Well, Erin O’Toole and the Conservatives did that very thing today, […]
Two questions …
CTV News (and almost every other media outlet) says: Journalists, all journalists, need to ask one question: Why? But that will, of necessity lead to another … Why in the name of all that’s holy would Prime Minister Trudeau want to send Canadians to the polls during a global pandemic? What is so important? What […]
When Liberal propaganda backfires
Liberal MP (Kingston and the Islands) Mark Gerretsen told his social media followers that the federal (Trudeau) government has provided 97% of all COVID-19 “relief” money spent in Ontario. Depending on how you define relief ~ and I’m guessing that he used payments to individuals, CERB, EI and the like ~ then that’s probably true: […]
The inescapable conclusion
Rob Breakenridge, a well known journalist with the Global network of radio and TV stations and with newspapers in the Postmedia Network, says, in a recent opinion piece for GlobalNews, that “In trying to make sense of the prime minister’s decision to prorogue Parliament back in August, derailing the committee investigations into the WE Charity scandal always […]
Essential?
So, “we’re all in this together,” are we? Isn’t that what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Public Safety Minister Bill Blair … … have been saying for six months? Then why do I see, in a CBC News report, that “The American CEO of Costco was granted a special exemption from Canada’s mandatory 14-day COVID-19 quarantine […]
Canada deserves better than the Trudeaus, père et fils
“What exactly has happened to Justin Trudeau?” Charlie Mitchell ask in an article in The Independent. “In 2015, after a decade of steely Conservative rule, the scion of the powerful Trudeau family offered Canadians “sunny ways” and was rewarded with a handsome majority. Feminist, climate-conscious and outwardly pro-refugee, the 43-year-old was a hit among progressives worldwide … [but, today, just […]
Hmmm … (2)
I see an article in the Toronto Star, coauthored by Zanana Akande, a former NDP member of the Ontario Legislature, Hugh Segal, a former Progressive Conservative strategist and Senator, and Greg Sorbara, a former Liberal member of the Ontario Legislature and a minister in the cabinets of David Peterson and Dalton McGuinty … … in […]
How bad is it?
Now I see that the Liberals are in full panic mode … Here is a video of the incident. What was Wayne Easter thinking? More to the point: why are the Trudeau Liberals so frightened? What evidence might come out if the WE Charity inquiries are allowed to go on? How bad can it b? […]
