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 26 2022 — Anthony Furey — Sun Media — There are some Canadians who may be under the mistaken impression that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s job is primarily to fly around the world attending climate parties, contract completely asymptomatic COVID multiple times and pal around with polarizing California Governor Gavin Newsom.
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 19 2022 — Anthony Furey — Sun Media — The past couple of weeks has brought us an alarming series of reports that indicate life in Canada is about to become a whole lot more challenging for millions of people. Manulife released a new survey revealing that a quarter of Canadian mortgage holders say they’ll have to sell their home if interest rates go […]
Jun 19 2022 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — To put it in popular culture terms, believing the Trudeau government is going to achieve any climate change target it sets for itself is like believing Lucy is going to hold the football for Charlie Brown so he can kick it. Liberal governments have failed to achieve every greenhouse gas emission reduction target they’ve promised […]
Jun 17 2022 — Paul Deegan — Sun Media — During the 2021 federal election campaign, several political parties made commitments to introduce news remuneration legislation. Why is such legislation needed? First, the need for strong, independent local news has never been higher – it keeps communities connected and informed on issues that are impacting them directly. Covering city hall, provincial and territorial legislatures, our […]
Jun 12 2022 — Anthony Furey — Sun Media — Canada’s woefully short summer is now in full swing and it would be a killjoy thing to do to ask people to stop and ponder whether or not we’ll soon be back to governments eyeing a return to COVID-19 restrictions. But the question needs to be asked.
Jun 12 2022 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — So far, the various justifications the Trudeau government has given for invoking the Emergencies Act against the Freedom Convoy protests have fallen apart. Consider the record to date. Neither the RCMP nor Ottawa police asked the federal government to invoke the act, contrary to claims by Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino.
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 8 2022 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — In every government, there are cabinet ministers who cause us to roll our eyes in disbelief pretty much every time they open their mouths. In Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, for many Canadians, that’s Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino.
Jun 7 2022 — Joe Oliver — Sun Media — Bill Morneau, in last week’s speech to the C.D. Howe Institute, voiced deep concerns about the anti-growth polices of the Liberal government. It took nearly two years and flies in the face of his personal track record, but better late than never.
Jun 5 2022 — Anthony Furey — Sun Media — Things are looking rough for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when it comes to how the Emergencies Act inquiry might unfold. The past month or so has brought out a number of clarifications about what exactly transpired during this winter’s freedom convoy and what went on behind the scenes before and during the controversial invoking of […]
Jun 5 2022 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — Premier Doug Ford had an impressive election victory on Thursday, but it’s not the start of a Progressive Conservative dynasty in Ontario and the Liberal Party isn’t going to disappear. People who think in such politically apocalyptic terms don’t know the history of Ontario politics.
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 […]
