Sep 24 2018 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — We all know if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That’s the case with a new report by Canadians for Clean Prosperity. It claims the Trudeau government will implement a carbon tax where “the vast majority of households, regardless of income level, would receive more money in the form of carbon […]
Sep 20 2018 — Joe Oliver — Sun Media — Premier Doug Ford no longer needs to invoke the notwithstanding clause in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Ontario Court of Appeal stayed the lower court’s ‘dubious’ ruling overturning legislation to reduce the size of the Toronto City Council. Since Ford said he might use it in other instances and because the issue is […]
Sep 13 2018 — Tom Brodbeck — Sun Media — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he’s happy Premier Brian Pallister is moving ahead with a Manitoba carbon tax. Of course he is. He just snookered Pallister into bringing in his own provincial tax and got him to endorse a Liberal plan most provinces are now rejecting. The prime minister, who made a stop in Winnipeg […]
Sep 9 2018 — Tom Parkin — Sun Media — Only ten days ago, the Federal Court of Appeal struck down Prime Minister Trudeau’s approval of the Trans Mountain project. The court found two failings in Trudeau’s approval. He failed to properly consult affected First Nations. He failed to consider increased tanker traffic on Canada’s Pacific Ocean environment. The court left a fairly specific road […]
Sep 3 2018 — Tom Parkin — Sun Media — Rarely has there been such a monumental policy failure as the Trans Mountain pipeline. And now the politicians who brought you this disaster are lyin’ and blamin’ — when they should be apologizing. A quick look back. The National Energy Board reviewed the Trans Mountain project. The NEB recommended the Trudeau cabinet approve it and […]
Aug 27 2018 — Antonella Artuso — Sun Media — A former Ontario PC candidate who says he was falsely accused of sending a threatening email just days before the provincial election has launched a $2.45 million libel and defamation lawsuit against Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath, his former employer Toronto Police Services and others, according to his statement of claim. Roshan Nallaratnam’s bombshell lawsuit […]
Aug 23 2018 — Kory Teneycke — Sun Media — Like almost every conservative I know, I believe Andrew Scheer would make an infinitely better prime minister than Justin Trudeau. Our current Liberal government has chosen a highly ideological path that has put international moralizing above trade. Has put their desire for a carbon tax above competitiveness and jobs. And it is led by a […]
Aug 19 2018 — Tom Parkin — Sun Media — Over 80% of Canadians say the growing gap between the rich and everyone else is unacceptable. And two-thirds say the Trudeau government needs a hard push to address poverty, according to a recent Angus Reid poll. But to the exclusion of any effort on these fronts, Canadians get served nothing but identity politics from the […]
Aug 13 2018 — Tom Parkin — Sun Media — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has put it all on the line. He’s running in a by-election in the Vancouver-area riding of Burnaby South. A loss could be politically fatal. But with a win, the idea might start to catch on that the political class needs a swift kick in the pants. It’s pretty clear now […]
Aug 12 2018 — Jim Warren — Sun Media — While Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland and the Trudeau government may have inadvertently backed into a wider conflict with Saudi Arabia with its stance on jailed blogger Raif Badawi and his sister Samar, it cannot reverse course on human rights or its stance on Saudi Arabia. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Freeland stand on the […]
Aug 10 2018 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — On Thursday, Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said the current diplomatic spat between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Ottawa would not affect Saudi oil sales to Canada. Of course not. That’s money we pay them. Everything action they’ve take so far affects only money they send us. The Saudis aren’t stupid. We get […]
Aug 2 2018 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — Watching Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his minions impose their national carbon pricing plan on us is like watching children running through the hallway with scissors. It’s all fun and games until somebody loses an eye, and we’re about to lose an eye. Apparently, the Trudeau government has finally figured out that when you place […]
Aug 1 2018 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — My favourite joke about Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath and her party these days is that calling their political opponents racists is how they say “hello”. That started right off the bat at Queen’s Park in the wake of the June 7 election, with Horwath accusing Progressive Conservative Community Safety Minister Michael Tibollo of “racist” […]
Jul 23 2018 — Tom Parkin — Sun Media — From the start, NDP Immigration Critic Jenny Kwan has been calling out Conservative dog-whistle politics that falsely label refugees as law-breaking “illegals.” Good for her. Unfortunately, it’s been a lonely task. Canadian law is very clear: someone crossing our border at any place to claim asylum, whether the trip is made “directly or indirectly” from […]
Jul 10 2018 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — Up to this point, I have not thought Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should be “fried” for his groping of a young reporter at a music festival in the B.C. interior nearly two decades ago. But that changed with his outrageous and infuriating remarks about the “Kokanee Grope” while attending the Calgary Stampede last week.
