Dec 4 2022 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — With the new year approaching, expect a deluge of reminders by the Trudeau government and the environmental movement that Canada is now the highest per capita emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. The federal government refers to this all the time as it attempts to pound Canadians into submission when it comes to quietly […]
Nov 27 2022 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — Amid the media praise for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s performance as the final witness at the public inquiry into his invocation of the Emergencies Act, keep in mind his government refused to give the inquiry a key piece of evidence Justice Paul Rouleau wanted to see. That was the legal brief prepared by the federal […]
Nov 20 2022 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — If there was significant interference by China in Canada’s last two federal elections, which seems increasingly likely, the federal agency specifically created by the Trudeau government to inform the public about it said nothing. That suggests one of two things, both alarming. Either it didn’t know about it, or did know and didn’t tell us. […]
Nov 6 2022 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — A good deal of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s economic statement last week was devoted to the Trudeau government’s plan to make Canada a global leader in clean energy. What she didn’t say demonstrates why the Liberals’ approach to clean energy is smoke and mirrors. Freeland, astoundingly, didn’t mention natural gas. This despite the fact Canada, […]
Oct 30 2022 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — While global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise and Europe scrambles to find adequate supplies of natural gas — a fossil fuel — for winter, the United Nations is poised to hold yet another of its tone-deaf global gabfests on climate change. From Nov. 6 to 18, 2,000 speakers and 35,000 participants are expected to […]
Oct 30 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — Much of the international news coverage of the Chinese Communist Party’s quinquennial congress, which wrapped up last weekend, focused on the ruling autocrats’ increasingly belligerent foreign policy. Also, the way President Xi Jinping’s ruthless enforcement of his “zero-COVID” policy still has more than 200 million citizens under complete lockdown (no leaving their apartments, no ordering […]
Oct 23 2022 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — The problem with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s handgun freeze is that it won’t freeze guns smuggled illegally into Canada from the U.S. which account for 85% of all handguns used for criminal purposes. The Trudeau government knows this — it said as much in a 2018 discussion paper on gun violence, by the public safety […]
Oct 9 2022 — Lorne Gunter — Sun Media — There’s an adage that “inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods.” If there are too many consumers and not enough goods or services to go around, prices go up. And up. Now consider another fact: According to Bank of Canada numbers, the money supply (the number of dollars in circulation in Canada) grew […]
Oct 8 2022 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — The Trudeau government is sucking and blowing at the same time by publicly calling Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — the thugs now terrorizing the brave women of Iran — a terrorist organization, while refusing to declare this under Canada’s Anti-Terrorism Act. On Friday, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, accompanied by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau […]
Sep 25 2022 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — Today let’s examine how political and media-driven hysteria about climate change diverts us from real issues that we need to address. Three recent reports by the Financial Accountability Office of Ontario headed by Peter Weltman illustrate the problem. Last week, the FAO drew a key distinction between natural and human-induced climate change — rare for […]
Sep 23 2022 — Rick Bell — Sun Media — The last number he gets shows us what we already know. Stark truth. Premier Jason Kenney ends his time in office far, far away from where he started. The man thought to be the messiah for Alberta conservatives maintains the approval of only 30% of Albertans, down a couple points from three months ago. Ah […]
Sep 11 2022 — Christina Blizzard — Sun Media — Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown — Shakespeare, Henry IV. One of the great misunderstandings about the monarchy, especially among Americans, is that it’s about celebrity, tiaras and fancy palaces and is Britain’s answer to the glitz of Hollywood. It’s not. The monarch in an intrinsic part of the constitution of the U.K. […]
Sep 11 2022 — Lorrie Goldstein — Sun Media — In politics it’s important to have the right political enemies. New Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has clearly decided one of the right political enemies for him to have in terms of running against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is the Parliamentary Press Gallery in Ottawa. “The political media in the Parliamentary Press Gallery are part of […]
Sep 4 2022 — Anthony Furey — Sun Media — It’s something of a rite of passage for a prominent conservative politician to pledge to defund the CBC. You just have to do it, whether your heart is truly in it or not. When it comes to gatherings of conservative grassroots members, there’s nothing that gets a crowd riled up more than smack-talking the public […]
Sep 4 2022 — Sun Media — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accusing Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson and other premiers of being dishonest with Canadians about the impact of his carbon tax on the cost of living was pretty astounding in its hypocrisy.
