Grievances Against Canada Laid Out-Trudeau, RCMP and CSIS

Grievances Against Canada Laid Out-Trudeau, RCMP and CSIS

Canada has 2 big agencies in the country to protect our country of Canada. CSIS and RCMP, or Canadian Security Intelligence Service and Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Both with separate roles. CSIS is our spy agency, and they were one group with the RCMP until 1984 when they were split. CSIS is responsible for national security. They look at documents and listen to conversations to determine what may or may not be a threat to our nation’s security. They operate in missions like the CIA, only to a lesser degree. Whereas the RCMP is not covert in any way. They are responsible for matters within our own borders, including ethical investigations. They monitor our highways, rural areas, and protect people in a security/bodyguard capacity. http://www.differencebetween.net/miscellaneous/difference-between-csis-and-rcmp/

Both of these organizations have had their issues over the years. With saying that, I do not take away the importance of what they do, Canada needs both CSIS and RCMP and what they do. They both keep us safe and lower risks to Canadians. One misstep of CSIS was in 2013, when they were spying on a naval officer for many months. This officer was handing over our secrets the Russians, and had been for a while, yet nothing was said from CSIS to the RCMP, who should have been brought into the loop. The FBI ended up being the ones to let the RCMP know about the situation. It shows a disconnect and lack of communication. Which is a problem that needs addressing, as having that issue, could definitely put all Canadians at risk. Little details can be missed, and those “little details” could lead to a big miss, which could cost hundreds of lives. 9/11 would be a good example of the costs of missing things, or not sharing information between security orgs. https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/csis-knew-of-navy-spys-activity-but-held-file-back-from-rcmp-cp-has-learned/

Speaking of 9/11, CSIS and the RCMP made a controversial decision right after this. In their defense though, it was a confusing, emotion-filled time in our recent history, so mistakes were made by people at all levels of government, and government entities. Canada had 3 Canadians arrested in Syria, and they did nothing to stop it, or step in, which actually made sense. How the RCMP and CSIS did get involved, is to provide a list of questions that they wanted to be asked, and tortured out of these Canadians. Although Canada was not the ones doing the torturing, we may as well have been, as we knew about it, and through inaction, they condoned the torture. Canada is supposed to have a non-torture policy, and is also supportive of organizations who fight the use of torture. We fight for human rights, yet allow Syria, a country with awful human rights records, to go through with torture. Hypocrisy. We supported it, and then we used the torture to get what information we wanted. A very shameful act, and needs to be learned from. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/terrorism-torture-syria-canadians-1.3669425

Of course, both organizations will have and will continue to make many more blunders and mistakes in the future, so this is not to take away from either group, they are important and necessary for country, especially with the rise of terrorism. As a result, I will not focus on their errors, although I would like to see them stand up to our government and investigate Trudeau and the Liberals for the fraud and ethical violations we have seen. Most people would be in jail for the kinds of scandals we have seen Trudeau commit. His personal swing set purchase of $7500. He claims that he is standing up for all the middle class people in Canada, but how many middle class people can afford a $7500 swing set? This was our tax payer dollars being used to pay for a swing set that only a very slim percentage of Canadians could purchase themselves. Who really needs a swing set that expensive? My children play with a swing we bought for a small fraction of this price, and they are perfectly happy with it. Why does Trudeau feel that his children are better than and more entitled than most Canadian children? To spend $7500 on one swing set, using MY TAX PAYER DOLLARS, I would have preferred he use his own money to buy this. I would have liked to see this money spend to purchase 50 swing sets for families in Canada. Families who could not otherwise afford these swings, and whose children do not have that entitled life. It is self-centered and inconsiderate to use the money taken from tax payers, who can’t afford the product themselves, to purchase a swing set for your children. Especially true with the fact that Trudeau is running a deficit, with no end in sight on that deficit. This was a theft of tax payer dollars, and not his only one, just one that stands out for me. I already did a previous article on Trudeau’s ethical dilemmas, and these should be investigated by our RCMP, not ignored. https://www.spencerfernando.com/2018/06/21/watch-scheer-asks-trudeau-why-he-spent-7500-in-taxpayer-dollars-on-a-swing-set/ https://authortonypeters.blogspot.com/2019/12/grievances-against-canada-laid-out.html

In June we all saw the word “genocide” come out of Justin Trudeau’s mouth. It was a hasty, and unthoughtful use of the term. This is in reference to the disappearance and murder of many Indigenous women. Trudeau says that his government and past governments allowed, ignored, and did nothing to prevent the deaths of these thousands of Indigenous women in our country over the years. His claims and statement, has led to him and his government coming under investigation by Organization of American States, and they have said they expect full cooperation by the Canadian government. Other politicians and Canadians are upset by these statements from Trudeau, who backtracked and apologized after he realized the implications of what he claimed. It reflected poorly on all of Canada, and was a lack of consideration in his words. This is another error from Trudeau, and another ethical dilemma. Another investigation against Trudeau and his Liberal government. https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/kinsella-trudeaus-genocide-comment-sparks-international-probe

We need organizations that are going to be held to a high standard. They need to be responsible and follow their policies. Protect Canadians, keep us safe, and to keep our government following ethical laws. We need a government, that is considerate, clear thinking, and avoids ethical dilemmas. More thought needs to be used by our Prime Minister to avoid these unethical situations, do some research, or ask advisers. Help Canada be great again.

Grievances Against Canada Laid Out-Trudeau’s Media Control

Grievances Against Canada Laid Out-Trudeau’s Media Control

Tony Peters and The Black Robe

https://youtu.be/1rDkBXHfpWQ

Canada claims to have free speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press, but does it? I would say no. Religions in Canada are told how they can and can’t operate, who they have to marry, and where they can share or celebrate their beliefs is limited, unless you believe in Islam. Free speech is actually only allowed as long as it does not offend even one single person, or is in line with what Trudeau wants said, otherwise keep your mouth shut. Freedom of the press is a complete joke. The lack of freedom for our press, is what we will look at today.

One way that Trudeau has dug in on his campaign against media that do not favour his personal image, is to refuse them entry into political debates or events. All reporters are allowed to report on political events, as long as you are a blogger or article writer, you are considered press, and as such have a right to access to political debates and political speeches. Rebel Media tried to gain access to the federal debate prior to the election in 2019, but were denied access. Trudeau threw an injunction at them to prevent entry at the last possible minute on a Friday, in the hopes of Rebel Media not being able to counter it in time. Thankfully they were able to get their lawyer to get them audience with a judge, who did not appreciate the dirty tactics by Trudeau and the Liberal Party, nor the fact that they were impeding on the rights of Canadians. The judge granted access to the debate for Rebel Media. Shortly after the election Trudeau threw another one their way for the same thing, which makes no sense, as the debate is over, but he is trying to set a precedent for future events, to bar them entry. Rebel Media will be going to court once again, to protect the rights of Canadians and the rights of reporters. All Canadian reporters deserve equal treatment by our government, not blatant favouritism towards media sources that Liberals have bought and paid for. https://eblnews.com/video/emergency-justin-trudeau-takes-rebel-news-court-again-777233

Trudeau also jokes about how he has bought the media’s loyalty through his federal media buyout of $600mil. SpencerFernando.com quotes, “Trudeau outright says “we paid them $600 million” to buy off the media in order to get good coverage.” What outlets is he talking about? Well CTV and CBC mainly, but Global and CityTV were also included in that buyout, though these were not the only ones. The money that Trudeau claims “we” paid is not Liberal Party money, but Canadian tax payer dollars. In other words, Trudeau has used our money to pay media outlets to spread Liberal propaganda, and anti-conservative lies. He is using them to run stories to distract the populace from his negative actions, his scandals, his thefts, and his embarrassments. These are stories media would normally jump all over, but now we see them glaze over these items, and making excuses for them. We also see western Canadian stories ignored, their message not shared with the east, leading to further disconnect, anger, frustration, and western alienation. Meanwhile he also uses our tax dollars to bar opposing news organizations, who won’t accept his bribes, from being able to have access that they have the right to. Sounds like a government with a lot of secrets and scandals to keep quiet about, and it sounds like that, as that is exactly what this is all about. Silence, censor, protect our image. We live in a dictatorship people!!!! https://www.spencerfernando.com/2019/09/01/watch-arrogant-trudeau-brags-about-bribing-the-media-with-your-money/

He also used his bought and paid for media to assist him in his campaign and hinder the efforts of opposition parties, election interference that we will never see charges laid for. The fact is though that now we see media being arrested in Canada for simply doing their job and reporting. Yes, that is right, in CANADA. In 2017, Hamilton police arrested 2 members of the press, threatening a third. One reporter was a freelance reporter, Dave Ritchie, who arrived before police tape went up. He set up his camera, then left it unattended for a minute while he grabbed new batteries, then he came back and the police had illegally confiscated it, then arrested him for demanding his camera back. The officer called reporters “scumbags” and then when Ritchie demanded his equipment back and argued with the officer, he was tackled to the ground and detained. Global reporter, Jeremy Cohn, was also arrested. Both were released shortly afterwards, but videos of the officer arresting them, shows his anger and bitterness towards reporters. The arrests brought up a lot of concerns with Freedom of the Press groups. Constable Jeff Todoruck now faces disciplinary charges for this incident. I would be very concerned about the precedent that this sets for suppression of media, especially when combined with Rebel Media court case. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/arrests-1.4119818 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lji-mVC9gds

Trudeau, just before our October 2019 election, paid Facebook $100,000. This money was used to “exploit the private information of millions of Facebook users”. This was supposed to be used to hire Christopher Wylie of Facebook. The government claims that the money was used to keep election interference off of Facebook. The problem is that election interference is a fairly ambiguous term and from the looks of things the way they are now, it involved removing more Conservative support posts. Currently we see Facebook shadow banning and limiting posts that speak out against Trudeau or the Liberals. People have had their audience limited due to this manner of post, as well as having these posts removed. Youtube is joining in on that now as well, starting to remove anti-Trudeau posts, and shutting down channels that they deem to be not profitable. This sounds like more of another censorship scandal that lines up with the silencing of reporters and buying off news networks. Conspiracy theory? Or plausible theory? You tell me in the comments. https://www.nationalobserver.com/2018/03/21/news/trudeau-liberals-used-government-funds-pay-100000-facebook-data-whistleblower

Grievances Against Canada Laid Out-Canada’s Discriminatory Woes

Grievances Against Canada Laid Out-Canada’s Discriminatory Woes

Tony Peters and The Black Robe

https://youtu.be/9NE17qGhmGA

Canada, home to a diverse melting pot of cultures and races from all over the world. We pride ourselves in tolerance and accepting. Do we really though? We accept immigrants and refugees sure, and yes, we do accept them with welcome arms, but what about those who have lived in Canada their whole lives? I assure you it is not a culture of acceptance for those who have lived here most or all of their lives. We are cast aside and pressured into silence by a government with eyes set on destroying our cultures and traditions, and replacing them with the cultures of those newly arriving in Canada. This needs serious thought and changes need to be made, as this is actually a very serious matter.

One way that this is affecting Canadians is the push by certain companies to only hire immigrants. Tim Hortons has been pointed out for this very thing. They bring in immigrants, Filipino employees in particular, rather than hiring white Canadians, this is supposed to be so that it is easier for the employees to communicate among each other. The problem is then, that they should be speaking English or French at work, depending on the area, as these are our official languages, which would solve the communication problem, as they are supposed to be “fluent” in English or French to be allowed entry, but sadly this is not the norm. Also please note, when going to Tim Hortons you rarely ever get what you actually ordered. McDonald’s has been accused of the very same thing. I know of a few local businesses, a bank, hotel, and coffee shops, that do exactly this, hiring mainly Filipino employees. Then one could take a look at the trucking industry, which has begun to hire Arab, or East Indian employees to drive trucks, rather than people who have been in the country their whole lives, as it is cheaper for them. The problem is, they often do not go through the proper training and have caused accidents/fatalities as a result, look at the Humboldt Broncos bus crash for example. It is sad when the number of employed immigrants is on the rise, and yet Alberta has seen so many citizens who are born here losing jobs at a high rate, leading to suicides. Yet nothing is being done about this problem, it is simply ignored by our government. http://www.vancouversun.com/life/Hortons+McDonald+face+criticism+over+foreign+worker+program/9768838/story.html https://globalnews.ca/news/5083904/humboldt-broncos-bus-crash-truck-driver-sentencing/ https://globalnews.ca/news/5369168/immigration-employment-canada/

Another problem comes in the form of reserving job positions based upon both race and gender. The same can also be said for colleges and universities. In certain situations, hiring based upon race, religion, or gender is justified and necessary, but these cases must be proven as the requirement. In all other cases hiring based upon this is not legal. These hiring decisions are usually an image factor, they hire women or natives, or an immigrant, for appearance of being diverse and inclusive. These positions should be reserved for the most qualified applicant. Jobs should always be given on merit, who deserves the position the most, if it happens to be a woman, great, if it is a native great, but it should always be the most qualified person. The same should be said about schools. Schools are reserving spots for women specifically, which women need a chance, but so do men. Why should men not get into a school if they are more qualified, just because a woman has the spot reserved based upon her gender? They do the same for our Native population, or other races. I can understand what they are trying to accomplish in doing this, as it has been a struggle for our Indigenous population to gain education, and be motivated to finish. The problem comes in the form of then other more qualified people may be missed. School entries, should be based upon who deserves the spot most. Otherwise a student lacks motivation. Many Indigenous in schools would be a deserving and qualified applicant, and if so then they should get the spot. Same could be said with paying them federal tax dollars to go to school, as when I was in school, we had a few students who only showed up for the minimum classes so that they could grab their money, motivation was not there, and they were not allowed to be removed from the class. Yet there was a 2-year waiting period for me to enter the course. It is a controversial issue with no clear solution, because we do need Indigenous people to be in school and succeed in life. There needs to be better ways of motivating and encouraging our wonderful Indigenous population. We need them, and we need them to succeed. https://www.heritage.org/education/report/race-preference-college-admissions https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2018/11/23/algonquin-college-engineering-a-future-that-includes-more-women.html https://employment-law.freeadvice.com/employment-law/job_discrimination/employer_distinguish.htm

Another big issue in Canada is in the relation of Quebec, or French speakers. In Quebec employees must be speaking French in all forms of communication, whether vocal, written, email, etc. Signage must be French as well. This is a real problem. English is an official language in Canada, and should not be playing second fiddle to the French language. Everyone should be given a fair shake, and both languages should be allowed to be used, not suppressed by a forced law putting French at the forefront. Businesses in Ottawa are doing the same however, this time favouring customers and clients who are French over English-speaking patrons. https://canadiangovernmentexecutive.ca/the-fallout-of-favouritism/ https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowUserReviews-g155004-d3343622-r695213826-Rockcliffe_Boathouse-Ottawa_Ontario.html https://www.educaloi.qc.ca/en/capsules/language-workplace-quebec

In Canada, we hear about people being anti-Islam and Islamophobia all the time. This is an issue in Canada for sure. People do hate Muslim people in many cases, umbrellaing them under one lump group. Not all Muslims are terrorists and not all follow Sharia Law. Those who do follow Sharia Law, are the problem, as they are discriminatory against women and anyone non-Muslim. Preaching that women are to be used and free to rape, really drives rightful anger from people around the world. They also attack other religions and try to suppress them. They move into other countries around the world, and then they remove cultures from the country they move to and complain about other religious traditions and holidays, yet they expect people to make accommodations for them. We have the religions of Jewish and Christian institution being suppressed, restricted, and censored. Canadians openly attack and insult these religions and others, and nothing gets said or done. Attack Islam though, and you are asking for attacks, risk losing your job, and are going to be labelled a bigot, just like Don Cherry. This is not right. All religions deserve respect, and should be treated the same. These religions should not be censored and minimalized, just to bolster one religion. https://www.cdn-hr-reporter.ca/hr_topics/religious-discrimination https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/joshua-ostroff/anti-semitism-resurgence_b_15810432.html?utm_hp_ref=ca-religious-discrimination https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/don-cherry-fired https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/christian-leaders-say-faith-under-attack-in-canada-by-governments-regulators-1.3008916 https://understandingislam.today/is-islam-taking-over-the-world/ https://concit.org/on-hijabs-rape-and-shariah-law/

Another form of discrimination in Canada, is the inequalities between people groups. As mentioned previously we have covered the religious side of this, as well as the French side. Although the Indigenous people have some favouritism for them, they also have a lot of things going against them. They struggle to get by and live in poverty, the same as the Inuit population. A lot of this is policies put in place through our federal government that enables the leaders and elders to have control over everything. As a result, some of these leaders and elders have become corrupt. They siphon funds to line their own pockets, while their reserve members suffer and don’t receive the money that they need to live comfortably. Even the paid education that they are supposed to receive goes to the elder’s and tribal leader’s families rather than being given to the regular reserve members. This is not just me saying this either, this knowledge and fact, comes straight from people who currently live and struggle on reserves. On top of that these communities are left with dirty water that they can’t even bathe in without boiling first. The reason behind this is that the government came in and set up water treatment facilities, but did not stay to train anyone how to operate them. They relied on the tribal leaders and elders to use the money given for training to spend the money for it’s intended purpose, but instead many of these leaders used the money for gambling or buying their families things. Our Indigenous and Inuit communities deserve a new a fair deal, just like the west. The need to have control stripped from corrupt tribal hierarchy, and have the power and money go straight to the population. A change in treaties is needed desperately to help these groups control their own futures. Again, the same thing that the west is asking from the federal government. Those who say that these communities are not on board with independence have spoken only to the tribal leaders, not the regular reserve member. Really the demands of the west and demands being made for these communities are in line with each other perfectly. Corruption of their hierarchy is not the only problem however, often the government takes a hands-off approach, throwing money at places that may need more of a hands-on approach. Part of their fear is a repeat of the Residential School Scandal, a fair worry, considering how awful the residential schools were for everyone placed there, whether Indigenous, Metis, Irish, Scottish, etc. A situation that should never be repeated, but that does not mean that the government should not be monitoring more closely the activities of leaders. This would not be a discriminatory act by the government, it would be a show of genuine concern for those living on reserves, a group of people that make up a large part of our population. https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/ava4kk/canadas-first-nations-reserves-have-a-faulty-system-of-government https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/dec/11/canada-third-world-first-nation-attawapiskat

There is much more that could be said about these matters, more discrimination that could be discussed. This federal government is clearly not the only group to blame. Blame would come over the generations of Prime Ministers, right from the day of Confederation. We focus on removing one area of discrimination, but cause a dozen more in the process. Discrimination of white people, seems to be an accepted form, something people just don’t talk about, but white people have rights as well, white lives matter as much as all other lives. Every group of people is equal. Every group deserves respect and should be treated the same. Special treatment, or walking on eggshells around certain people groups, needs to stop. People need to focus on true equality, not equality at the cost of other groups. Show respect for everyone, treat them all the same. Race, religion, culture, gender, beliefs, none of it matters at the end of the day, we are all human, and need to learn to live together and stop trying to drive wedges that result in fighting and wars. Respect is key to equality.

Grievances Against Canada Laid Out-Trudeau’s Foreign Woes

Grievances Against Canada Laid Out-Trudeau’s Foreign Woes

Tony Peters and The Black Robe

https://youtu.be/71KL0VTNigg

Canada used to have a great reputation among the countries of the world. We were respected and treated well wherever we went. People saw our military and thought of peace. Now our military has become the laughing stock of the world, not because of anything our brave soldiers have done, but because our government will not supply them with the proper equipment, sending money overseas instead. As for our Prime Minister, well he is the main reason why our country is no longer respected around the world. We are seen as weak fools. People to be scorned and laughed at. Not ideal trade partners and a country that is so destroyed economically, that our oil has gone from a major export, to being sold off at rock bottom prices, simply because of incompetent mismanagement by our federal government. A country where big businesses are advised against setting up in. How did we come to this?

Let us start with this week’s Buckingham Palace incident, where Trudeau spoke candidly about US President Donald Trump. He was speaking with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron at the NATO summit, not realizing that someone was video recording the conversation, when he stuck his foot all the way down his throat. Always assume you are on camera when you are at events like that, especially when you are a public figure. Letting your guard down, as Trudeau does far too often, is foolish, like asking for someone to make you look like an idiot. Trudeau does not need any further help in this matter, he does it well enough on his own, and it reflects poorly upon Canada as a whole. Trudeau was caught complaining about Trump and his last-minute press conference, his tone was quite annoyed. When this reached President Trump, who is not one to shy away from candid statements, he called Trudeau “two-faced”. I have seen some joking though that he is 3 faced, he is white, brown, and black faced. Brown of course in reference to his being full of crap, or in other cases being “shit-faced”. The black face reference we will look at next. Short term this has become quite the scandal, but long term, it may not play a huge role. Making these kinds of statements about allies, is not the way to maintain allies, when he already chased Israel away. Trudeau did try to dumb the event down and brushed it off. He claims that we have a strong relationship with the US. Yes, we have a strong giving relationship with the US, Trudeau is such a pushover, that Trump’s strong personality brings Trudeau and Canada to its knees in negotiations.  https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/video-showing-trudeau-seemingly-talking-candidly-about-trump-goes-viral-1.4714387 https://www.rt.com/news/475032-trudeau-donald-trump-nato-g7/

Now for the black face incident. Trudeau over the years, has shown that he has little class or tact when it comes to choosing appropriate costumes for Halloween. He has painted his face black on several occasions, more than he himself admittedly knows. In and of itself, I actually would not see this as a big deal if someone of my social standing did this. It really isn’t a racist act in and of itself, but one would need to be cautious of the crowd you were with, as others may take offense, but our world does take offense too easily. Coming from someone who could expect to always be a public figure, even growing up, which he never really did, he should have refrained from dressing up like this, especially numerous times. One would think that one of his rich friends would have said something about it, but if they had, would he have listened? This incident has further ruined his reputation, if that is possible, but it has also reflected poorly on Canadians. Of course, media blows this out of proportion, and then the activists jump all over it. If the media could focus on real news, we would all benefit. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/19/justin-trudeau-wearing-blackface-details-emerge-third-incident

One of the biggest international screw ups that Trudeau has made is the 2018 India trip. A trip that brings out groans whenever it is mentioned. On this trip Trudeau made a fool of Canadians once again. He turned it into more of a costume dance party suited to his drama teacher days. He wore their traditional garb, but he was not even dressed in the correct clothing for the event he was attending. The smarter move would have been to dress like a westerner, as this is what they would have anticipated and respected. Many of the Indian leaders he met with were in suits already. Then the dance he performed was embarrassing, and improper as well, but I won’t go too far into that. Bad press was again to be had when he was apparently snubbed by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who did not meet with him. How many Prime Ministers have a fellow Prime Minister come to their country, and then refuse to meet with them? Says a lot about what they think of Trudeau and Canada. The biggest scandal of this trip, however, was the invitation to Jaspal Atwal to Trudeau’s party. Atwal is a convicted Sikh extremist who attempted to kill an Indian State Minister who was visiting Canada in 1987. He was sentenced to 20 years in the Court of Canada. Trudeau claims that this invitation was rescinded when he realized the oversight. This may not be the fact however, as Atwal was seen in pictures with Trudeau’s wife Sophie. This whole incident brought anger from the Indian people, and rightfully so. The question that I would put forth is this, what is Trudeau even doing in the same circle as a convicted Sikh extremist? This may provide some insight into his accepting so much immigration from known terrorist countries, and even more insight into his slack security measures for screening these potential immigrants. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/22/asia/extremist-scandal-trudeau-india-visit-intl/index.html https://www.reuters.com/article/us-canada-election-missteps-factbox-idUSKBN1W422D

Trudeau has a tendency to break ethics laws. He did this again in an international incident, with the Chinese this time around. In 2016, Trudeau held a fundraiser for the Liberal Party. Invited to this event were people who only got invited after donating hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars to his father’s Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation. This fundraiser was held at the home of Benson Wong, who happens to of been the chair of the Chinese Business Chamber of Commerce. The ethics law in question is the ban on “cash-for-access”, which is exactly what happened here. Trudeau then had the nerve to defend his violation by stating that it will bring in middle-class jobs, which of course has not happened. https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2019/09/20/martel-five-justin-trudeau-scandals-that-dont-involve-blackface/

I could go on and on listing ways that Canada has been embarrassed by Trudeau on an international scale, but I will just touch on one final point. Fidel Castro, the Cuban dictator, was a long-time family friend of the Trudeau family, back to the days of Pierre. Pierre and Fidel were so close that rumours flew about the similarities in appearance of Justin and Fidel, theories arose about Justin being Fidel’s son. Justin even was a pallbearer for Castro’s funeral. Justin Trudeau then makes Castro out to be a great leader, a role model. He claims that Castro did great things for his people, and that he cared for them. The truth is that Castro was a terrible Communist Dictator, who murdered thousands of people, refused medical attention for anyone who was not communist, he tortured and raped anyone who opposed him, and then had slave labour camps. Doesn’t sound like a person who loved his people dearly does it? In fact, it sounds like a tyrant and narcissist, but then again, Trudeau obviously sees him as a role model. Is this what we want for our country? Is this what Trudeau has planned? We the people of the west, need to act and gain our independence, before we see more of this in Canada.

Grievances Against Canada Laid Out-Trudeau and the UN

Grievances Against Canada Laid Out-Trudeau and the UN

Tony Peters and The Black Robe

 https://youtu.be/bZnvY8idXzA

Canada is a country divided, right down the middle. East Vs West is the mentality. Trudeau and his crazy policies and actions has further grown this divide, to the point of not being able to repair it, or at least very little chance. The previous instalment looked at a few of these reasons, now this one will further study this matter.

Carbon Tax and environmental policies. If you were to look at Canada.ca under their environmental tab, you will see an excuse given for the Carbon Tax. To make those polluters pay, since we can see the effects of their carelessness. This is buying into the whole global warming/climate change hoax. I am not saying that we don’t have climate change, I am just for all the hundreds of scientists who have claimed it is in fact a natural phenomenon that is changing the climate. We have seen this many, many times before in history. Is man to blame for the previous Ice Age? Is Dinosaur poop responsible for climate change? Or was it simply a result of the Great Flood? I for one believe it was the Great Flood that caused all of that. Now the Earth is shifting its temperatures again, and this is a natural cycle of the Earth. Should we treat the environment with respect? 100%!!!!! With that being said though, we cannot destroy our economy at the cost of saving an environment that is changing anyways. We need an economy to survive, otherwise we see a rise in poverty and homelessness. Which we are seeing right now, thanks to Trudeau’s blindly following the Greta Lunacy, backed by many large foundations around the world who simply want to destroy the world economy to set up a world state, yes this is a real tactic being used by the UN. They want to eliminate borders and have open migration between countries. Ultimately, this will give the UN complete control over the world, something that is currently happening, and Trudeau is on board with, signing onto the agreement with many other nations, despite the large amount of opposition to such a proposal in Canada. With a rise in poverty, comes the rise in crime rates, drug usage rates, overdoses, suicides, stress, and anxiety. Which, again is exactly what we are seeing in the West, particularly Alberta. https://www.spencerfernando.com/2018/01/11/open-borders-united-nations-negotiating-global-migration-plan/

Then we take a look at the actual Carbon Tax portion of all of this. It has been proven to not be a deterrent to anyone. It does not limit our use of Carbon causing products. In fact, all that it has done is destroyed farmers and natural resource sectors. It has cost many jobs and made life so much more difficult for Canadian citizens as a whole. Not only that but Trudeau has a federal tax applied to the Carbon Tax!!!! This is crazy. Why charge a tax on a tax, if it is not a money grab? Which is exactly what it is. As if Canadians can afford more taxes on top of their already high tax rates. Claiming to be trying to grow the middle class, his method of accomplishing this, is to tax the wealthy until they become middle class, and tax the middle class to the point of them becoming either lower-middle-class, or impoverished. By taking money from Canadians, he can then control them. Instead we simply see higher suicide rates, such as the suicide on December 2^nd, 2019. A man shot himself on the steps of the Alberta legislature. If things are not changed in the West, we will continue to see more of this. The Star claims that for every one percent increase in unemployment, 16 more Albertans die by suicide. This is being come a pandemic, to which our Prime Minister seems to want to do nothing to help. It is a large part of western alienation.  Prime Minister Trudeau has already claimed in an interview years ago, that Alberta is the problem in Canada. A statement that gives insight behind the policies he has put into place to destroy Alberta and the rest of the West. It goes beyond that however, as it really will end up affecting the whole country, which again, is what the UN wants. https://globalnews.ca/news/6246038/alberta-legislature-postponed-man-shoots-himself/ https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/news/2017/05/pricing_carbon_pollutionincanadahowitwillwork.html

https://www.thestar.com/edmonton/2019/09/27/sixteen-more-albertans-die-by-suicide-for-every-one-per-cent-increase-in-unemployment-report-finds.html

Trudeau wants his UN seat so badly that he is more than willing to do whatever he can to enable them to accomplish their globalist agenda. Weaken countries to the point of having no choice but to submit. His bid for a UN Security Council Seat, has clouded any last ounce of judgement that Trudeau has, which was very little to begin with. He even went so far as to vote with North Korea and Egypt, a scary thought I know, against Israel, who has been a long-time ally. Way to stab those allies in the back. This goes against everything that Harper had done, in making us the closest ally to Israel, a detrimental result, as it also angers our US allies. None of this matters however, when you are a puppet for a globalist UN, and globalist cabals around the world. It also does not seem to matter that most western Canadians want nothing to do with the UN. https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/goldstein-trudeau-sides-with-israels-enemies https://www.rcinet.ca/en/2019/10/24/trudeau-reaffirms-canadas-bid-for-un-security-council-seat/

Another way that Trudeau plans to help the UN is through his replacement migration in Canada, which has been happening now for years, the government has just been ramping up their efforts since Trudeau came into power. They would claim that they are trying to increase our population, but they are doing this with mainly Muslim nations in mind. They have brought such a large Muslim population into the country, that it is replacing the white population. Yet white people dare not speak out, otherwise they are declared racist bigots, or white elitists. They are attacked from all sides. Now we see our high up figure heads being attacked and fired, an attempt to deculturize Canada. Look at Don Cherry for example, fired for asking all people, yes immigrants in particular, to wear a poppy in respect for our Veterans. Many Muslims refuse to wear a poppy due to feeling that vets who fought against them in previous wars are not worth honouring. They are not the only ones who refuse to wear one though, there are others who choose not to, and Don Cherry was addressing them as well. There were Muslim complaints though, and so he was fired. Here is the rub with immigration, when you immigrate to Canada, assimilate, as we would be expected if we moved to another country. Do not come to a country and try to get rid of our holidays, minimize our religious groups, or force law changes to accommodate you. You moved to Canada, we welcomed you, so don’t abuse hospitality, accept our traditions. Trudeau has since promised to accept more immigrants into the country. He uses very little screening, allowing terrorist nations to send people over, risking terrorist attacks within Canada. He knows that many of these immigrants will vote Liberal, so he forces provinces to accept these immigrants and take over communities in Canada. It is not only Muslims though. We see Chinese immigrants set up China Towns in cities, and with more control being given over to the Chinese, we are seeing more Triad activity in Canada. Drugs are pouring in, and they are even producing them in Canada now. The main problem with these drugs is the fentanyl and carfentanyl that the drugs are laced with. The result has been a lot more overdoses and deaths in relation to drug use. Immigration in and of itself is not a bad thing, it is the lack of caution and screening that has caused the problems. As long as the Liberals are in power, this will not change, in fact, it will only grow worse. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/don-cherry-fired http://ir.lib.uwo.ca/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1065&context=pscpapers https://authortonypeters.blogspot.com/2019/11/trudeau-considering-supplying-vancouver.html

None of what I have written about is intended to be racist, or bigoted, it is simple observation. I know many Arabs and East Indians, some of whom are Muslim. I have no issues with them, they are contributing members of our community, but they are also not trying to force change on my location, I only wish this were true across Canada as a whole. I want a free country. A country where I can again feel safe, and I can feel confident in my government. Sadly, I don’t know if this will ever be the case in our country again, but one can certainly hope.

Unemployment Rates Historical Comparison East VS. West

Unemployment Rates Historical Comparison East VS. West

https://youtu.be/ASYn_YlgYM4

Last week we looked at poverty and the middle-class, and how they relate to Canadians. Now we are going to take a look at a subject that ties in these previous articles. Unemployment directly affects poverty and homelessness. In Canada, our governments could be doing much more to help this problem, federal, provincial, and municipal. Before getting into solutions, taking a look at the facts and stats around unemployment in Canada is necessary. 

Tradingeconimcs.com has some really great information in regards to this subject. They describe the unemployment rates as the “number of people actively looking for a job as a percentage of the labour force.” In other words, this means that it is measuring the amount of people who are able to work, who are of age, and yet are unemployed, in Canada this includes 15 year-olds. Most recently October 2019, showed Canadian unemployment rates at 5.5% which has been fairly consistent since July bouncing between 5.5% and 5.7%. Canada did see a loss of 1, 800 full time positions, but then replaced those with 14,300 part time jobs. Which is a trend happening around the world, replacing full time jobs with part time jobs. This means that more people have jobs, leading to lower unemployment rates, but leading to lower paying jobs, meaning more poverty, or struggling families. Since 1966 Canada has averaged an unemployment rate of 7.62%. In December 1982 this was at its highest rate of 13.10%, which was due to policies and economic decisions made in the United States. The lowest rate recorded falls in at 2.90% in June of 1966. Which means our current rates are below average, but it does vary across the country and across job sectors. Canada saw drops in the manufacturing, warehousing, construction, and transportation areas, but a significant increase in administrative, finance, insurance, real estate, rental, leasing, and agricultural employment. We also saw differences based upon age, ages 15-24 saw no changes, but 24-55 year-old workers dropped in employment, while those aged 55 and over increased in employment. Not quite the shift I expected, but considering the manual labour job loss, it should not come as a real surprise. 

If we look at Stats Canada, we can see how these rates are dependant upon the province and territory one lives in. As of the summer the stats were as follows, nationally 5.7% was the average. The provincial breakdown: BC 4.3%, Alberta, 6.7 %, Saskatchewan 5.2%, Manitoba 5%, Ontario, 5.2%, Quebec 5%, New Brunswick 7.2%, PEI 9%, Nova Scotia 6.5%, Newfoundland and Labrador 12.4%. These numbers vary depending on how diversified each province is in their economy. Maritime provinces tend to rely on many seasonal jobs, and so they end up with higher rates depending on the season, otherwise many will leave for other provinces to work in the off-season. In the territories we see Yukon with 2.7%, NWT with 7.3%, and Nunavut with 14.1%. Yukon has more Ocean access and the ability to help in BC with forestry/fishery jobs, whereas NWT and Nunavut do not have these options, and are far more spread out in population bases, increasing the unemployment numbers. A good way around this issue, is for provinces and territories to diversify their economies, so when one commodity crashes, they have others to fall back on. Compared to other developed countries, Canada ranks middle of the pack in unemployment rate success. Switzerland leads the pack with 2.2% unemployment, and South Africa comes in at the bottom with 29.1%, which also reflects poverty rates in these countries. 

If we then take a closer look at the situation with the territories, conferenceboard.ca has great reasoning behind their issue. They claim to have 2 factors behind the higher than national average unemployment rates. One is that southern workers travel up north to take the higher-paying jobs that take more skill, but they do not stay to live there. The same problem the west sees with workers from the Maritimes. The second comes in the form of “economic expansion”, this has pushed more people from the north to search for jobs, but not all will be able to locate a job, resulting in more unemployment. Yukon, thankfully has avoided these issues, maintaining one of the lowest unemployment rates in Canada. 

They do also provide information on how unemployment rates can vary depending on immigration status. In 2018, those born in Canada had a 5.2% unemployment rate, newly landed immigrants were at 6.1%, immigrants landed less than 5 years were at 9.4%, immigrants landed within 5-10 years were at 6.4%, and Immigrants who have lived here for more than 10 years were sitting at 5.3%. I do have an issue with these stats though. First of all, immigrants who come to Canada need to be able to support themselves and not rely on tax pay dollars to keep them afloat, these numbers simply raise our countries unemployment stats. Secondly, if they cannot maintain a job in Canada, then they should not be allowed to remain in Canada. We have a lot of homelessness and poverty in Canada, so returning people who are not working back home help us to support those who truly need the help and are Canadians. This would apply for anyone who does not have a citizenship. 

During Stephen Harper’s time as Prime Minister the country did fairly well economically, with the exception of the 2008-09 recession, in which Canada was hit less hard than the United States. Our unemployment rate hit 8.3% but since we seemed better prepared, Canada was able to not be struck as hard as the United States, who were bleeding jobs up to a total of 2.6 million jobs, according to CNN Money. Too many lost jobs in both countries, but Canada’s preparation helped the country to rebound quicker and to help other countries try to rebound. However long term the US has been able to recover to lower unemployment rates, having the US rates drop to as low as 4.9%. Canada was able to recover in a short amount of time after this, mainly due to the quick thinking of Stephen Harper, who was able to get a trade deal with China, which shortened the recovery period, although some might say China is a terrible partner to support. Then when moved forward to 2016, when Justin Trudeau was in his second year as Prime Minister, rates dropped again, which has a lot to do with failed promises, harmful bills, and failed projects. One such failure would be the $4.5 billion purchase of the Kinder Morgan pipeline, which then got sidelined by the Vancouver area blocked it from going through and had it upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada (Huffington Post) Another threat would come in the form of Bill C-69, which makes a lot more red-tape in place for any future pipelines; it has been deemed the “Pipeline Killer”, according to Global News. The purchase and failure to proceed as planned with the pipeline to the BC coast, and a bill making it difficult to complete oil projects, made it very tough for the West and cost many jobs and a lot of money. Atlantic jobs were affected by this as well. Another factor in this was a struggle to recover after the oil price crashed in 2014, which has taken years to try to rebound from, a struggle that still shows today, hindered further by Federal environmental laws. To further read into this, check out conferenceboard.ca. 

Unemployment rates due to economic crashes, like in Alberta, can cause a spike in poverty and homelessness rates, which we have seen in the west. I won’t get too far into this topic though, as I have a whole previous article dedicated to that, (https://authortonypeters.blogspot.com/2019/11/keep-foreign-aid-money-in-canada.html and https://authortonypeters.blogspot.com/2019/11/trudeau-considering-supplying-vancouver.html). I will say that in 2017 Stats Canada placed 3.4 million or 9.5% of Canadians below the poverty line, which is not very clear, but they say the line is $25,000/year for single adults, but $40,000 for families, which seems low to me. Wages tend to play a big role in this, especially since so many people are having to work 2 jobs to make a living. The part time job trend has made this more pronounced. The wage of an average Canadian is $25.55, but this can be a hard stat to set with Salaries, self-employment, farming, and contract work. 

When looking to set up a policy around employment, a lot of factors must be considered, as there will always be some unemployment, largely in part to people moving to find jobs, shifting between workplaces, or a change in career. Canadians tend to have the highest rates of moving between cities and provinces to move to a labour mobility, according to conferenceboard.ca. The goal that should be kept in mind for policy setting, is to motivate all eligible workers in Canada to be able to find a job, no matter where in the country they are located. When families and locations have longer periods of unemployment it destroys and tears apart families and communities, so these periods need to be acted upon quickly. This has been the situation in the west and Prime Minister Trudeau has not followed through on promises to help the west fix this problem. The west supplied thousands of jobs for eastern workers in their oil boom, but when government policy destroyed this market the easterners flooded back east, an option that westerners are left without. CBC estimated these workers as being 20%, or 1700 people up to 10,000 at one point.  Yet the east has then criticized and hindered their progress to try to recover and diversify. Another factor that could be looked at is technology. When new tech hits the market it often cuts out jobs, leading to a spike in unemployment, but as people receive training for the new tech, the rates drop, as people get jobs working with the new technology. This creates short-term unemployment spikes, followed by longer term employment spikes. There are times, however, when new tech actually destroys a sector and takes it over, resulting in devastating job loss rates, that will struggle to recoup, so when implementing new technology, caution must be exercised to avoid unemployment because of technological automation. 

When an area has low unemployment rates, employers will struggle to find employees and wages are going to be higher, making it harder for employers to get by. High wages can also boom the housing market, making it harder to buy a home due to the inflation. Can areas really control this though? On one hand they could, but should they? A boom does have to end at some point, often times with a crash, rather than the preferred gradual decline. Which is devastating; but being able to provide jobs for a long period of time is important, meaning that preventing the boom is counter-productive. The best way to deal with the situation, is to diversify, find ways of bringing in other economic opportunities while the boom is on, that way when a crash does happen, the area has other sectors to depend on. Not everything is within a community or countries control however, a lot of this results from global and neighbouring countries globalization. American decisions affect our country greatly, and more recently, the decisions of the globe’s environmentally brain-washed movement. 

History tells of mistakes made in this regard, but also tells of successes. Provides educational opportunities in what not to do, as well as what to do. Listening to these lessons, can guide Canada through economic struggle, to help make Canada prosperous again. This does require governments that will listen. Our government cares not what happens in the west, which has made recovery, which the west is working at on their own, more challenging. All levels of government should assist areas that are struggling, not ignoring one half of the country and helping one province that has had it’s struggles. The whole country needs to be economically stable to lower unemployment rates and the rates of poverty. If we continue to have governments that ignore this, Canada will be led into further disaster. Work together to come up with a solution for the country as a whole. United we stand. Unify the West.

Minister of Middle Class Prosperity, Say What?

Minister of Middle Class Prosperity, Say What?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRei0sxRSAk&t=2s

Mona Fortier, a name most people did not know until November 20^th of this year, when she was given two minister titles in cabinet, Minister of Middle Class Prosperity, whatever that means, and Associate Finance Minister. Mona Fortier was first elected in 2017, when she became the first female Member of Parliament for the Ottawa-Vanier region, according to the Government of Canada website. She claims that she has always thought that the best way to help her community, is to get involved and take action. The Government of Canada lists her areas of expertise as “health care, education, job creation, and francophone affairs”. Job creation, ironic, since Prime Minister Trudeau created a cabinet position just for her, a move many seem to suspect is simply to make Trudeau look like he is encouraging gender parity (according to The Star). She has, however, received a number of awards for her community involvement mentioned earlier, including a medal from the Queen in 2012, Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.

With a little background on her political career, it is easier to see why she was given a position that one would think would involve job creation and helping people in the middle-class to make more money, or “prosper”. The position has caused a lot of confusion though, as no one, including Fortier, can properly explain what this new, made up position, really is. Minister of Middle Class Prosperity seems like a loaded position. Who determines what middle-class is? Who actually knows what middle-class is? From speaking to various Canadians, they all seem to have differing opinions on what middle-class is. Hence the confusion. Middle-class, really is a very ambiguous term, since there is no clear line of where poverty turns to middle-class. The National Post has stated that the Liberals claim that poverty rates are at an all-time low, yet wonder at how their official party line narrows its focus on the middle class, who, by Liberal claims, are not actually largely at risk of falling into poverty. Why the focus on “Middle-Class Prosperity” then? A really good question. The reason for this, as I see it, would be due to the fact that the East is prospering and have a growing middle-class, yet the west has been decreasing in the number of middle-class citizens, with more and more becoming impoverished daily. As long as the Liberals can bolster middle-class numbers and use this new position to appear to give a crap, they can keep attracting new eastern voters, winning further elections. The same strategy Trudeau has in increasing our immigration numbers.

This can come with consequences though. An example of which is how Canada appears on a global scale and at the country level. Canada has been scoring lower and lower on rankings surrounding equality, due to the battle of food insecurity (National Post). Looking at this though, shows that the real problem is not for middle-class citizens to further prosper, it appears as if the true problem lies in bringing our impoverished citizens out of their poverty. By helping this “class” to prosper, we then do in fact grow our middle-class. Helping our impoverished saves lives, and drives up the morale of the country, something more advantageous than what Fortier’s new cabinet position is designed to do.

Mona Fortier sees her position as fitting into her own personal goals. She claims, on the Government of Canada website, to be focused on environment, business prosperity, and “making life more affordable for Canadians”. Sounds like a line right out of Trudeau’s playbook, no wonder he chose her, cut from the same mold. She also claims that Canada needs “an ambitious plan to build stronger and better communities while growing the middle class”. What this plan is supposed to be, is yet to be determined. Which fits in with the confusion surrounding this position. A Conservative, Melissa Lantsman, states that this is a, “Politically-driven minister with an unclear set of responsibilities.” She suspects that this made up position is an attempt by the Liberal Party to do what they failed to do in their last term, which is to be the party for the middle-class as Trudeau has claimed. With the majority of Canadians visualizing themselves as being part of this class, it really is murky, some stats would place up to %60 of Canadians in this category. Stats Canada defines middle-class as making $25,000-$66,000. In 2017, Stats Canada placed 9.5% or 3.4 million Canadians in the poverty category, which is awfully convenient, since this is the year with the lowest stats in history. Here in 2019 these stats will be higher, since Alberta, Saskatchewan and Northern British Columbia have all been hit hard economically. The Liberals seem to want this to appear to be their way of presenting the issues of the middle class and show off the ways that they are supporting them, even if it is just that, the appearance of helping. Their whole election campaign, once again, was focused mainly on this exact appearance which seemed to work for them, even though their past successes in this was limited.

 Mona Fortier was interviewed by CBC in trying to help people understand what this position means to Canadians. In the interview, Mona even seems to be confused as to what the position actually involves. The hope would be that she will focus her attention on affordable housing, to help those below the poverty line, and bring them into the middle-class category, but this isn’t the feel that is given by her interview. She does claim that her focus will be on making life more affordable for Canadians and to develop the economy. She was asked to put her own definition on middle-class. Which she seemed to give a Trudeau answer by really avoiding the question, since defining it is such a difficult task. Eventually she did come up with an answer. Fortier defines middle-class as, “where people feel that they can afford their way of life. They have quality of life…It’s having the cost of living where you can do what you want with your family.” Which led her to then to re-affirm that the Liberals intend to have a strong economy, which is hard to believe with how they have destroyed and mis-managed the western economy. Prime Minister Trudeau did promise Canadians that the Liberals would make a middle-class tax cut, and Fortier follows this same path, stating that the Liberals will be making cuts for sure. This cut though comes with doubts though, as David MacDonald, of Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, says that the only ones to really find the cuts advantageous is the higher middle-class citizens. Fortier counters this with saying that will have different methods of helping the differing levels of middle-class, including helping people with children’s bills. She states that the upper-class Canadians need to give more money, so they will support those that drive the economy through the middle-class. No real direction or answer came on the question of how they are going to do this, making one wonder if they even have any clue.

The real focus, to which I agree, should be the impoverished portion of our population, and the lower middle-class. The Star has done great research on this, and in a previous article of my own, I also did a lot of research. People are finding it hard to get by, building up more debt than they are bringing in through job income, and this has been on the rise over the last decade especially, but it really goes further back than that. Trudeau and the Liberal Party seem like they are confused as to how to handle this, which explains their disjointed methods of tackling the poverty issue, and explains why Trudeau focuses on middle-class, not impoverished Canadians. Liberals have tried and succeeded in bringing 825,000 people out of poverty. They have made cuts to the taxes that businesses are hit with, and provided more in the form of the Canada Child Tax Benefit. In 2016, they set up the Affordable Housing Innovation Fund, which was supposed to help people get financing for “affordable rental housing projects”. According to the Star the wide variety of projects funded by this, shows a “lack of cohesion”. The fund right now is not taking in applications. In 2017, the government followed this effort up by setting up the National Housing Strategy. As I mentioned in my previous article, this will cost $55 million over the course of 11 years. It is designed to reduce homelessness rates by %50, through building 125,000 homes, renovating 300,000 homes, as well as other means of accomplishing this. In other words, they are aiming, and promising, to “strengthen the middle-class” and create “social housing stability” for those who are in need the most. Whether this strategy works or not remains to be seen, but from the aforementioned lack of focus, doubts remain.

As an attempt is being made here to explain a little about what could potentially be behind the new cabinet position, the views of Canadian citizens must be explored. When the position was announced, people began asking why the Liberal Party would put in a position just for the middle-class, when they are not the group of people in need of financial help most. Kathy Wells tweeted, “How about a Minister of Poverty, Unaffordable Housing and Rising Consumer Debt, Mr. Trudeau?” Another tweet by Gillian Kolla scoffs, “Looking forward to the announcement of the Minister of Thousands of People Homeless Every Night Across Canada.” Rabble.ca had more people commenting in regards to Fortier’s position. Lagatta4 jokingly refers to the position as the “Ministry of Silly Walks”, in reference to Monty Python, then furthers it with saying that, “it is strange to have a Ministry based only on classist bullshit.” More comments continue on talking about the middle-class being thrown some bones, but that this seems like an effort to pit the impoverished against those in the middle-class. An effort to separate them. One person points out the terrible poverty rates in Fortier’s own riding, and how little the Liberal Party has done to resolve the problem. The poster leaves it off saying that it is, “Too bad there isn’t a Minister of Child Poverty.”

Through the article I was hoping to discover for myself what the Minister of Middle Class Prosperity actually means. However, it would appear that everyone, from regular citizens, reporters, up to Fortier herself, who seems confused by the position. I guess time will reveal what the position will entail and what it will hope to accomplish, or if it will even accomplish anything. It may very well be what some suspect, a filler position to make Trudeau look like he has more women on his Cabinet.
