Justin Continues to Comparatively Make His Father Appear Like a Great Prime Minister That He Was Not

 Although Père Trudeau's record included mocking the Monarchy, plunging Canada into debt (where have we seen that?) And alienating the West with bad energy policy, at least  père Trudeau had some defiance and leadership in him as exhibited at a St Jean Baptiste parade during the Québec separation years. While protesters hurled rocks and bottles, the new Liberal leader defied his security entourage and stayed at his prominent seat to participate in the provincial holiday and not bcking down nor succumbing to the protesters' thuggery. Now, our fearless leader in a Zoom meeting world is in hiding, and will not even remotely address thr protesters.

Canada: The Envied, Western Country That Once Was...

" (Justin) Trudeau has been pushed to the sidelines and is not part of high-level discussions,” said James Bezan, the veteran Conservative MP. “When (president Joe) Biden makes phone calls, Trudeau is last on his list. When (global affairs minister, Mélanie) Joly went to Ukraine, she went empty-handed, with nothing to promise other than empty rhetoric.”

As Russian troops mass on the borders of Ukraine, Trudeau has rejected a request for weapons, saying he believes in a diplomatic solution (instead, he promised to send bullet-proof vests, night goggles and an additional 60 military trainers.)

Russia’s ambassador in Ottawa, Oleg Stepanov, in the Globe and Mail this week, urged Trudeau to call Moscow, so that Putin could tell him there is “zero chance” of Russia invading Ukraine. The two men have never had an official bilateral, though the Canadian prime minister met the Russian president on the margins of the G20 in Turkey in 2016, when he told him of Canada’s opposition to Russia’s adventures in Crimea. It would be entirely within the traditions of Canadian foreign policy for Trudeau to make a call and explore the prospects for arms control and confidence-building measures. Why not even suggest the resurrection of open skies?

Unfortunately, there are few votes in foreign affairs and the Trudeau government’s agenda has been driven by domestic considerations.

Arms control, confidence building and nuclear non-proliferation are not mentioned in Joly’s mandate letter.

“We used to have a lot of street cred in that game,”

Popular Vote Differences Between Canada and the USA By the Numbers

 "...It’s the exception that a U.S. president will win the White House without winning at least half of the popular vote. In the 11 presidential elections since 1980 it’s happened just four times; George W. Bush in 2000, Donald Trump in 2016 and Bill Clinton in both 1992 and 1996.

In vote-splitting Canada, by contrast, even landslide victories are possible with only two fifths of the popular vote. In 1993, for instance, Liberal Leader Jean Chrétien won a blowout 29-seat majority with just 41 per cent of the popular vote.

Since the Second World War, in fact, only two prime ministers have won a federal election while also claiming at least half the popular vote: Brian Mulroney in 1980 and John Diefenbaker in 1958..."

Canada's Institution of Immigration Needs to be an Independent Body, Away From Politics' and Liberals' Lack of Objective Science and Data

It's time to take politics and political parties out of the immigration equation while ignoring impacts on housing, wages, pensions, healthcare, education, infrastructure, long term employment and economic forecasts (not just today's needs) and all mostly borne by three major cities.  This institution needs to be treated with independence and reality it deserves versus the vote generating machine of hasty, politically driven, conveniently round numbers in the tens and hundreds of thousands lacking any demonstrated forecasts, information, studies, "data" or "science" to the Canadian public. 

More specifically, 42% (or 168,420) in 2021 had no mission or deliberate immigration process to Canada other than they were family of permanent residents/Canadians or were seeking to escape their own country as a refugee.   

"...The subsequent torrent of applications from students and temporary workers in Canada, coupled with the commitment to double the number of refugees coming from Afghanistan to 40,000, has resulted in bureaucratic resources becoming swamped. IRCC now has around 1.8 million applicants in a queue which is growing by about 20,000 every couple of months.

On refugees, no-one disagrees that Canada owes a duty of care to many people in Afghanistan but doubling the number of refugees from 20,000 to 40,000 will take two years to honour.

Andrew Griffith, a former director general at IRCC and author of a book on citizenship and immigration policy, said that the political choice to meet numerical targets, by allowing temporary residents to become permanent residents, meant that all other classes of immigrants became a lower priority. “It was a trade-off and, personally, I’m not convinced it was the right trade-off to make,” he said.

In 2021, 58 percent of new immigrants were drawn from economic class programs; 26 percent from family class; and 16 percent from refugee and humanitarian class.

But the 2023 numbers may look quite different, if the number of high-skilled workers drops off dramatically and the number of refugees rises..."

Election Promises For Votes (+400,000 New and Legal Entrants to Canada) Cannot Be Met Due to Existing Backlogs, Liberals' Additional and Ad Hoc Promises of Afghan Refugees, Canada's IRCC Department Not Even Working In Office

"Canada pausing intake of highly skilled immigrant workers amid heavy backlog. Despite a labour shortage in parts of the country, the federal government is pausing new invitations because it doesn’t have the ability to process them

...In the memo, department officials outline that “an estimated 76,000” applicants are in the inventory for federal high-skilled worker applications, which is more than what the government needs to meet targets all the way out to 2023.

The same memo says the express entry pool, which includes skilled workers, skilled trades and people with experience living in Canada, has more than 207,000 people in it.

...The government’s current immigration plan forecasts bringing in 110,500 skilled workers next year, but the department says in a memo that could have to be cut by as much as half, because the department has so much other work.

...The Liberals initially pledged to bring 20,000 Afghans to Canada, but during the fall campaign doubled the pledge to 40,000. As of the most recent update 7,000 of them have arrived in Canada.

Liberal Majority At All Costs: Canada's Aggressive Inmigration Levels (+400,000 Annually) May Please Some Voters and Make Great Headlines, But Has Resulted in "Taming" and "Muted" Wage Inflation

Wage growth in Canada has lagged behind the U.S as their economies have recovered from the Covid-19 crisis, a factor some attribute to the stark differences in immigration policies between the two countries.

And on that question, if one steps back just a minute, is it not amazing, incredible even, that shutting down the industrial base of an entire province is declared as the Number one priority, one laden with moral as well as political content by those in Ottawa who have elevated it to national policy — and this is accepted as normal or acceptable or yes, even noble in the context of “our fight against global warming?”

NDPLiberals Cannot Stop Themselves From Spending: Hello New Record Inflation for Canada

With the fires of Canadian inflation raging, NDPLiberals want to add more fuel with MORE unwarranted "stimulus" spending. Even the PBO has told them to stop.  At one time $176 billion (extra spending/guaranteeing a deficit) was equivalent to about 18 years of deficits (what the Liberals ran on, 2015), now it's a drop in the bucket. NDPLiberals cannot stop themselves from spending - good times or bad. Majority government at all costs (to Canadians).

"...Since the start of the pandemic, Giroux’s office estimated the government has spent or planned to spend $541.9 billion in new measures, about one-third of which, or $176.6 billion, is not related to COVID-19.

Scrutinizing that spending was made more difficult in Giroux’s mind by the late release of the government’s audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. The government held on to the documents for two weeks after their cabinet sign-off, even as MPs debated extra spending measures, Giroux said..."

Canada's Military (and Other Institutions) in Decline As Russia/Ukraine Heats Up

"...In terms of personnel, training and equipment, CAF has rarely been in such rough shape. Government disinterest and lack of direction has reached the point where retired generals are speaking out, offering opinions they say are shared by senior officers still serving.

...Officials said last year the military is under-staffed by around 10,000 regular and reserve troops, while the commander of the Royal Canadian Navy, Craig Baines, said recently he needs another 1,000 sailors. At the same time, the Department of National Defence is launching formal proceedings against 900 personnel for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

...The government’s record on buying new equipment in the past decade, under both Liberal and Conservative ministries, has been abysmal.

We still do not have a fighter jet to replace the CF18s a decade after the Harper government decided to sole source Lockheed Martin’s F35 and then reversed itself. The Trudeau government was elected on a pledge that it would never buy the F35 but late last year it said the plane was one of two (the other being Saab’s Gripen-E) still in the running for the $19 billion program. Not even this government could punt this decision any further down the runway.

...The result is the CAF are a mile wide and an inch deep,” he said. “A country which is pulled in multiple directions internationally, in addition to facing calls for military help at home, and which cannot expect more resources, desperately needs better government guidance as to what is important and what is less so..."

B.C. Subsidizing $1 Billion for Honeowners' Property Tax Bill

And that's how vote buying, elections from the past and political parties work...

"... But the panel, a mix of public sector and corporate representatives, also unanimously called for the end of the B.C. homeowner grant. It’s an annual property tax subsidy, dating back to 1957, paid to almost all B.C. homeowners.

The money starts at $570 per homeowner per year, with more for rural properties and owners who are seniors. The grants are expected to cost the B.C. treasury $887-million in 2021-22. The subsidy is only for homeowners who live in their homes. Landlords are not eligible. Nor are renters.

And this isn’t a subsidy for low-income households. As property values in B.C. have soared, provincial governments, both left and right, have escalated the value of the exemption. Five years ago the subsidy went to homeowners whose home was worth $1.2-million or less. Last year it was $1.625-million. This year, after the market soared some more, the cap – like a magical mountain that grows taller by the day – was raised by another 22 per cent, to $1.975-million.

The rising peak means that more than nine out of 10 homeowners will be receiving a subsidy from taxpayers – even if they have high incomes, and even if their home’s price keeps rising. The province issued its latest annual BC Assessment data last week; it showed that, in Metro Vancouver, the value of detached properties increased by hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The expert panel looked at all of this and saw the obvious: The system is strikingly unfair. It’s a tax break that mostly benefits people of above-average incomes. In the City of Vancouver, for example, more than half of households rent, and they’re being squeezed by rising costs. Yet homeowners, whose asset values are rising, are getting a payment from other taxpayers. And the subsidy helps boost home prices..."

What Is "Valid" to Work and Legally Stay in Canada? One Year of 30 Hours a Week

 In a world of nearly 6% unemployment rate in Canada, the government has set up multiple programs encouraging non-Canadians (not yet permanent residents) to be hired for roles that apparently Canadians cannot fill. 

"Valid" entry into Canada is now ONLY WORTH  "A valid job offer has to be full-time at 30 hours per week, and good for at least one year after the employee gets their permanent residency visa...".  Permanent resident status allows for benefits say if not working after that one year. Impact on wages? On social programs? 

"...Oftentimes, the first step to hiring an immigrant is to demonstrate to the federal government that there is no Canadian available to fill the open position.

To do this, you need [if required, there are many exemptions] a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). There is usually an advertising requirement for the LMIA, which means you have to post your job on the Government of Canada’s Job Bank and advertise in two other places..."

The future of Canada's broken, Liberal votes dominated immigration system. Inflation almost at 5.0%, employment rate at 6.0%, record housing prices, a pandemic challenged supply chain, an already overloaded government system resulting in backlogs and somehow through "Liberal calculus" (that no one has seen) this "evidence based government" has determined such scientific and precise numbers of 401,000, 411,000 and 421,000 annually to approve.  Time to review and somehow take this unquestioned, unchallenged, abused institution out of the government's hands for greater independence, and not at the reckless whim of a government striving for a majority government. What to watch:

"...The first will come by February 10 when minister Fraser is set to table Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan 2022-2024. This will be the announcement that usually takes place each autumn, but has been delayed due to the September 2021 Canadian election.
