Apr 19 2021 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is out to bribe voters with $100 billion of our own money in the next election by throwing cash at every voting bloc the Liberals believe they will need to recapture a majority government. It’s no surprise. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said the Liberals would spend up to that amount over […]
Apr 18 2021 — Anthony Furey — Sun Media — The outrage came fast and fierce on Friday when Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced the latest round of restrictions that included closing playgrounds and recreational park space, banning people from socializing outdoors with non-family members, and giving the police the power to stop anyone to ask where they’re going. Criticism poured in from doctors, legal […]
Apr 18 2021 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — For the last week, the Ford government has been accused of hoarding more than a million COVID-19 vaccines in freezers while complaining about a shortage. But the data from covid19tracker.ca — I’m using the statistics from Friday afternoon across the country — show the allegation is false.
Apr 16 2021 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — Not only is O’Toole embracing a carbon tax (although he doesn’t have the courage or honesty to call it that), he thinks those of us who oppose carbon taxes are dumb enough to be deceived by his sleight-of-language. Every time I hear federal Conservative Party Leader Erin O’Toole speak, I like him less and less. […]
Apr 15 2021 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — The Conservative Party under Erin O’Toole now has a climate change plan — more modest than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s and the Liberals, while borrowing heavily from it. His carbon tax — he calls it a “pricing mechanism for consumers” but for all practical purposes it’s a tax — will start at $20 per tonne […]
Apr 11 2021 — Rick Bell — Sun Media — Premier Jason Kenney’s world looks to be falling apart. He needs to put his Humpty Dumpty back together again. Then we hear the bombshell. I’m told the premier threw down the gauntlet behind closed doors Thursday and informed United Conservative members of the legislature if they don’t have confidence in the government, then they should […]
Apr 11 2021 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — This was a bad week for free speech in Canada. It has become clear that “progressive” opinion is lining up behind censorship of what Canadians can and cannot say on the Internet, including criticism of politicians and bureaucrats.
Apr 11 2021 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu says she’s keeping a close eye on the number of COVID-19 vaccine doses the Trudeau government is delivering to the provinces compared to how quickly the provinces are administering them to patients. Her implication is the provinces have been slow in putting them into people’s arms, leaving millions of doses […]
Apr 4 2021 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — Given ongoing concerns about vaccine safety, the federal government has a useful website that tracks adverse side effects of vaccines administered in Canada. Updated weekly, it was one of the sites I used before deciding whether to be vaccinated, which I eventually did.
Apr 4 2021 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — Let’s face it, federal Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole is a dud and a dud is never going to defeat Justin Trudeau. A year ago, when the dawning of the pandemic forced the Tories to take their leadership campaign online and push back their leadership vote, I was struggling to choose a candidate to endorse: O’Toole […]
Mar 28 2021 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — Big news story at the end of this week: Canada’s vaccination effort finally reaches 10% of the adult population! Whoop-de-freakin’-do.
Mar 28 2021 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — It’s good that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is finally moving away from his government’s previous policy of appeasing China’s communist dictators. But what took him so long?
Mar 28 2021 — Sun Media — Take a look at a couple of sentences about climate change that appeared Thursday concerning the Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling on the carbon tax. Here’s one: “It is a threat of the highest order to the country, and indeed to the world.” And here’s another: “The undisputed existence of a threat to the future […]
Mar 25 2021 — Sun Media — The Supreme Court of Canada’s 6-3 ruling Thursday tells us Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act is constitutional, not that it’s a good law. That wasn’t the job of the court. It ruled that under the “peace, order and good government” clause of the constitution, climate change poses, in the words of […]
Mar 24 2021 — Rick Bell — Sun Media — Look, look over there! There’s the bad guy! This is one where the court of public opinion is judge and jury. You see, it’s no secret more than a few folks are peeved off with the stalling on Alberta’s Step 3 COVID-19 reopening. Most of these individuals are people who voted for Premier Jason Kenney’s […]
