Calgary-Nose Hill MP Michelle Rempel Garner’s pose as an anti-woke politician did not last very long. Despite just a few months ago standing up in Parliament and declaring “enough with the woke s***” Rempel has gone back to her socially left-wing ways and is once again attacking parents who don’t share her transgressive views on what is and is not appropriate.
Although what McKenna and the Liberal government did on that public works program demonstrated their utter lack of competence, and raises issues around further financial impropriety due to the lack of accountability, on an ethical level this still pales in comparison to what our current Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland just did in late 2022.
Notley and the NDP were able to pull off an upset victory in 2015, but because the traditional labour faction of the NDP effectively failed to win reelection in 2019, it seems that the woke faction of the NDP has taken the initiative and is now leading the party by the nose into the 2023 election.
Morneau effectively admits to trying to actually keep spending somewhat responsible in the Liberal government but Justin Trudeau and those in his office would prevent the rolling back of unnecessary or even toxic pandemic spending in order to maintain popularity.
Having unrestricted access to abortion in Canada for over 35 years, with only the conscience rights of individual doctors as a barrier, has made it so that a large portion of Canada’s population sees nothing odd about people having Canada’s public healthcare system off them due to disabilities, minor injuries, or mental health issues.
Jagmeet Singh and his political party’s main talking point is that people who have luxury items are evil and stole their wealth from the rest of us. So when Jagmeet Singh posts a picture of his toddler in a Canada Goose jacket when the majority of Canadians are financially hurting you just have to shake your head.
Mayor Jody Gondek’s governance of Calgary has been so far disastrous, but at the very least it is proving the point even more clearly than Naheed Nenshi’s time as mayor, that fashionable left-wing public policy just doesn’t work.
Although it has been said many times before and has been wrong, right now it does genuinely feel like Canadians are becoming tired of Justin Trudeau and the Liberals governing Canada. Trudeau had his ups and downs in the polls before the 2019 and 2021 elections, but for several months now it has seemed like the Liberals are only ever down, outside of a few outlier polls.
I use the term “Reflexive Contrarianism” to describe the phenomenon of people instantly taking the opposite position to the ones presented by their political or ideological opponents. Unfortunately, this is a mind virus that infects people of all political parties so you will be unable to share this article to easily own the Libs or dunk on the MAGA crowd.
The real story is not that another high-ranking Liberal has been found guilty of a serious ethical, borderline criminal, violation. It is that Mary Ng feels no need to resign and Justin Trudeau does not feel like he needs to save the Liberal brand by removing her. Even the Toronto Star’s editorial board has called for the minister to resign.
It's a Canadian publication and therefore uses Canadian spelling. Thank you for reading we greatly appreciate it.
