Aug 7 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — Jean Charest will not commit to supporting the Conservative Party of Canada in the next federal election unless he wins the party’s leadership next month. That makes his campaign nothing more than a vanity project. It’s all about Jean. All along, Charest’s campaign has been distinguished by its smug elitism and contempt for the Conservative […]
Jul 26 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s endorsement of Pierre Poilievre for the Conservative Party of Canada leadership is a big deal … in those parts of the country where Poilievre is already going to wipe the floor with the other candidates. That means Harper’s endorsement, given Monday, is important on the Prairies, in the interior of […]
Jul 10 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — Starting in September, members of the Canadian Armed Forces will be able to carry purses, wear skirts and stockings, grow their hair as long as they choose and polish their finger and toenails whatever colour pleases them.
Jun 26 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — If the goal is to make Canada more inclusive, how is that achieved by cancelling Canada Day? At the Forks in Winnipeg, there will be no Canada Day this year. Instead, there will be a new day called, unimaginatively enough, New Day. Since the Forks is Winnipeg’s busiest gathering place with more than 4 million […]
Jun 19 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — Did you know it is mandatory to have the ArriveCAN app on your phone when entering Canada? Do you even know what ArriveCAN is? I’m betting lots of intelligent, well-informed Canadians don’t.
Jun 12 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — For once, a Liberal who isn’t spinning fairy tales about the coming disruption his party’s “green” policies will cause ordinary Canadians. Last Monday, during debate on this year’s federal budget, Whitby, Ont., Liberal MP Ryan Turnbull admitted, “Achieving net-zero is not going to be easy, that’s for sure … We are going to have to […]
Jun 5 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — The federal Liberals have no concern for personal privacy or liberty. I don’t think that’s an overstatement. No doubt the Liberals will claim – again – that they are the party of the Charter. But the Liberals abandoned Canadians’ fundamental freedoms long ago. The latest example is Bill S-7, introduced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s […]
May 29 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — Middle-class Canadian taxpayers are in for a world of hurt as a result of runaway Liberal spending. Since the Trudeau government came to power in 2015, federal spending has increased by 82 per cent from $248.7 billion under Stephen Harper to $452.3 billion in the current fiscal year. During that period, inflation has been just […]
May 22 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — Bizarre. Excessive. And indicative of an elite class that has lost its collective mind. At a bail hearing on Thursday, the federal government tried hard to have Tamara Lich returned to jail. Lich, one of the organizers of February’s Freedom Convoy, has been free on bail for the past couple of months awaiting trial on […]
May 15 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — When members of the Trudeau government insist they relied on advice from police before they brought in the Emergencies Act in February to clear a truckers’ convoy from downtown Ottawa, they’re, um, not being exactly truthful. A quick search of Postmedia’s archives shows that on at least six occasions during the state of emergency and […]
May 8 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — So what if he did? Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was accused Wednesday by Conservative MPs of using the F-word in the House of Commons. Yeah, so? Would the MP or MPs who have never dropped an F-bomb please stand up. (I don’t mean in the Commons, I mean ever.)
May 1 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — The Liberals keep repeating falsehoods about the Freedom Convoy to justify their invoking of the draconian Emergencies Act on Feb. 14. Pure misinformation. Nothing but fake news. And while it might seem like a stretch, these Liberal fabrications prove once again why it is dangerous to let them regulate the internet. (More on this in […]
Apr 17 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — For as long as there have been elites, those elites have worried about the potentially disruptive influence of populism. The first Neanderthal clan leader probably warned his mate about the rumblings he been hearing from the cave dwellers further down the mountain. “Their demand that we all have a say in where we hunt sabretooths […]
Mar 20 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — This has been a bad couple of weeks for the Trudeau government’s magic wand plans to save the planet. What do I mean by “magic wand?” Those are “green” measures we are assured will prevent climate change without costing jobs, reducing our standard of living or even making us notice much of a change in […]
Feb 20 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — Just as Ottawa police, dressed in riot gear, began clearing Freedom Convoy protestors from three temporary locations in the capital on Friday, news emerged from a pipeline construction site in the B.C. interior of an attack by anti-pipeline protestors on Thursday.
