Emergencies Act Court Challenge by the Canadian Constitution Foundation

As you may already know, Christine Van Geyn, Litigation Coordinator for the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF), took the federal government to court over their use of the Emergencies Act to end the Trucker Protest in Ottawa earlier this year. While Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government claimed they had to do it, most saw this as a purely political act as well as a … [Read more...]

Joël Lightbound: Unexpected Courage From Inside the Liberal Caucus

Joel Lightbound - A Rare Example of Political Courage

I watched Liberal MP Joël Lightbound's entire 56-minute press conference yesterday in stunned silence. His speech was the bravest political act I've witnessed in decades. He was measured, thoughtful and sincere - the polar opposite of his party's leader. He called out Justin Trudeau for his abusive name-calling and crass political opportunism, then demanded it must stop; … [Read more...]

Erin O'Toole: You Just Don't Understand How Brilliant I Am!

A prime tenet of military leadership is Extreme Ownership, made famous by Navy Seals Jocko Willink and Leif Babin in their book of the same name. The concept is simple. Leadership, at every level, is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails. As MP Bob Benson put it yesterday, "Leaders should be judged by their own actions and their performance … [Read more...]

Erin O’Toole Your Hypocrisy is Showing

On Monday, January 18, 2020, Press Progress ‘broke’ a story fed to them by a Conservative Party insider that Derek Sloan, one of the contenders in the recent Conservative Party leadership contest, accepted a donation of $131 from a ‘neo-Nazi.’ “Conservative Party of Canada Confirms Conservative MP Derek Sloan Accepted Donation From Neo-Nazi” screamed the headline. “Mr. … [Read more...]

Andrew Scheer Shoots Himself in the Face… Again

Hot on the heels of the Yasmin Ratansi scandal where the now-former Liberal MP hired her sister and lied about it, we learn Andrew Scheer stole a page from the Liberal Entitlement Handbook and took it to heart. Andrew Scheer hired his sister-in-law, Erica Honoway, to work in his constituency office. While technically this does not violate Parliamentary hiring rules, it's … [Read more...]

Yasmin Ratansi: Just Another Ethically-Challenged Liberal MP

What is it with Liberal Members of Parliament?  Do they honestly believe the rules don't apply to them? That's the question at the top of my mind after news broke that Yasmin Ratansi, Member of Parliament for Don Valley East, hired her sister, Zeenat Khatri, and lied about it. CBC reports Yasmin Ratansi employed her sister from 2005 to 2011 when Ratansi lost her seat in … [Read more...]

Did NDP Candidate Dan Coulter Just Make Electoral History in Chilliwack?

Congratulations to Dan Coulter who, if the preliminary results hold, made provincial electoral history as the first NDP candidate ever elected in the provincial riding of Chilliwack, British Columbia.

On Tuesday, October 21, 2020, Jagmeet Singh, Justin Trudeau’s most useful idiot, proved what millions of Canadians already knew: the NDP leader is monumentally inept.

Public Safety Minister Bill Blair was a career politician long before he ran for public office in the 2015 federal election.

Erin O'Toole, when will you keep your promise to end the Election Expenses Clawback?
