TORONTO (Sputnik) – The Canadian Supreme Court struck a blow to fighting government corruption by dismissing a new probe into whether a religious leader lobbied Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Democracy Watch co-founder Duff Conacher said in a statement on Thursday. The high court earlier denied a request for a new probe into allegations that the Aga Khan lobbied Trudeau during a trip to the religious leader’s private island. “In its shocking refusal to allow Democracy Watch’s appeal, the Supreme Court has joined the Federal Court of Appeal in striking a serious blow against the public’s rights to complain about corruption and […]

TORONTO (Sputnik) – Premier Jason Kenney of Alberta, Canada’s largest oil-producing province, said during a press conference on Thursday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s proposal for a COVID-19 economic recovery was a “fantasy plan.” “It was a fantasy plan for a mythical country that only exists, apparently, in the minds of Ottawa liberals and likeminded Laurentian elites,” Kenney said. The Alberta Premier said Trudeau’s Throne Speech delivered on Wednesday did not reflect the harsh economic realities Canada is facing amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. Kenney also said Trudeau completely ignored the ongoing economic crisis in western Canada and the growing sense […]
Teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg repeatedly accused world leaders of “not doing enough” to tackle climate change. Last year, her strongly worded “how dare you” speech in the UN attracted worldwide attention and made some politicians promise to act more swiftly to fight global warming. “We’ll plant 2 billion trees over the next ten years. That’s it. That’s the tweet”, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote on Twitter on 27 September 2019, shortly after holding a meeting with young environmentalist Greta Thunberg. The promise was made in the midst of his re-election campaign, which he eventually nailed just a month after. […]
TORONTO (Sputnik) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Tuesday that he has asked Governor General Julie Payette to prorogue parliament until 23 September.

Trudeau said that he intends to use the next six weeks to craft a long-term coronavirus economic recovery plan with newly minted Finance […]

Scheer said Trudeau and Morneau chose to use the novel coronavirus pandemic as cover for their actions, adding that the entire WE Charity affair has been nothing short of “corruption at the highest level”. “We are in an unprecedented crisis, we are facing a fiscal situation that is completely unprecedented and we are facing the health consequences of the virus and the economic fallout. And […]
TORONTO (Sputnik) – Canadian opposition lawmakers said in a letter to the Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada Nancy Belanger that they are calling for an investigation into WE Charity’s efforts to lobby the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “I am thus asking that you investigate whether anyone in the WE organization ought to have registered to lobby public office holders, but failed to do so, which would be an infraction under section 14(1) or any other unidentified sections of the lobbying act,” Conservative Pierre Poilievre, the shadow minister of finance, said in the letter on Friday. The letter was co-signed […]

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has stepped in it again. He’s apparently violated Canadian ethics laws by awarding a $900 Million government contract to a “non-profit” that members of his family have raked in $282,000 from via speaking fees. The $900 Million contract was awarded to the WE Charity to dole out $5000 checks to youth who put in 500 hours of “volunteer” work over the summer, due to Covid preventing them from getting normal jobs. WE Charity was due to graciously accept $19.5 Million into their pockets for the deed. Trudeau initially claimed that the WE Charity was the only […]
President Trump is hosting Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Wednesday. However, much has been made of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to skip the meeting, which was originally intended to be a celebration of the new trade agreement between the three countries, which stepped into force last week. Part of the rationale in Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to skip Wednesday’s summit dedicated to celebrating the New Agreement Between the United States, Mexico and Canada (USMCA), may have been the bad optics for his carefully groomed image of fighter against the coronavirus, CNN has suggested. “He would […]
