    CPP416 - Swingers

    This week, the panel discusses how the government’s use of the Emergencies Act was unreasonable and a violation of the Charter. This comes as a complete shock to the government, as they thought the courts were more of a suggestion than a rule, but they plan to appeal the decision. There are of course no consequences for those government officials that violated your Charter rights.

    News

    Ottawa's use of Emergencies Act against convoy protests was unreasonable, violated Charter, court rules

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/emergencies-act-federal-court-1.7091891

    • Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley wrote that while the protests "reflected an unacceptable breakdown of public order," the invocation of the Emergencies Act "does not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness – justification, transparency and intelligibility."

    • Ultimately, there "was no national emergency justifying the invocation of the Emergencies Act," he wrote.

    • The Federal Court case was argued by two national groups, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the Canadian Constitution Foundation, and two people whose bank accounts were frozen. They argued Ottawa did not meet the legal threshold when it invoked the legislation, which had never been used before.

    • The act gave law enforcement extraordinary powers to remove and arrest protesters and gave the government the power to freeze the finances of those connected to the protests. The temporary emergency powers also gave authorities the ability to commandeer tow trucks to remove protesters' vehicles from the streets of the capital.

    • Under the Emergencies Act, a national emergency only exists if the situation "cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada." Further, a public order emergency can be declared only in response to "an emergency that arises from threats to the security of Canada that are so serious as to be a national emergency." 

    The act defers to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service's definition of such threats — which includes serious violence against persons or property, espionage, foreign interference or an intent to overthrow the government by violence.

    • "The potential for serious violence, or being unable to say that there was no potential for serious violence was, of course, a valid reason for concern," he wrote. "But in my view, it did not satisfy the test required to invoke the Act, particularly as there was no evidence of a similar 'hardened cell' elsewhere in the country, only speculation, and the situation at Coutts had been resolved without violence."

    • Mosley's decision also examined one of the most controversial steps taken by the government in response to the protests — the freezing of participants' bank accounts.

    "I agree with the [the government] that the objective was pressing and substantial and that there was a rational connection between freezing the accounts and the objective, to stop funding the blockades. However, the measures were not minimally impairing," he wrote. The judge said the economic orders infringed on protesters' freedom of expression "as they were overbroad in their application to persons who wished to protest but were not engaged in activities likely to lead to a breach of the peace."

    He also concluded the economic orders violated protesters' Charter rights "by permitting unreasonable search and seizure of the financial information of designated persons and the freezing of their bank and credit card accounts."

     

    There's much more to the Emergencies Act ruling than a rebuke of Justin Trudeau's government

    https://www.thestar.com/politics/political-opinion/theres-much-more-to-the-emergencies-act-ruling-than-a-rebuke-of-justin-trudeaus-government/article_36df7ed2-bc9b-11ee-9cd5-dbed89230a60.html

    • It’s being framed as one of the most severe rebukes the federal government has received to date: a Federal Court ruling on its use of the Emergencies Act two years ago to end the trucker convoy that occupied the capital for three weeks and saw Canada-U.S. border blockades across the country.

    • The decision is ammunition for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who can now say Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “broke the highest law in the land”

     

    Kamloops MP pitched special meeting after Emergencies Act court ruling

    https://www.castanetkamloops.net/news/Kamloops/469335/Kamloops-MP-pitched-special-meeting-after-Emergencies-Act-court-ruling

    • MP Frank Caputo says he doesn't have enough support from other members of Parliament to investigate the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act in response to the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa.

    • Following the ruling, Caputo and three other Conservatives on the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights issued a letter calling for a special meeting to address the ruling.

    • “We’re in a situation where the court says that the government violated its own citizens Charter rights," Caputo told Castanet Kamloops. "And that's never a good situation."

    • Caputo, along with Rob Moore, MP for Fundy Royal, Larry Brock, MP for Brantford-Brant and Langley-Aldergrove MP Tako van Popta signed off on the letter. NDP MP Randall Garrison from Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke and the Bloq’s Rhéal Éloi Fortin form Riviere-du-Nord, who also sit on the committee, did not sign.

    • The 11-member committee consists of five Liberal MPs, four Conservatives, one NDP and one Bloc Québécois member. In order to hold the meeting, at least five votes were needed, but neither the NDP nor the Bloc Québécois members were interested in signing off

     

    Trudeau govt to appeal ruling on use of emergency powers to end 2022 protests

    https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/ottawa-appeal-ruling-canadas-use-emergency-powers-was-unreasonable-2024-01-23/

    • Freeland, who also serves as the deputy prime minister, said the decision to invoke emergency powers was taken because the public safety of Canadians and national security were under threat. "We have discussed it with the prime minister, with cabinet colleagues, with senior federal government officials and experts,” Freeland said. “We respect, very much, Canada’s independent judiciary. However, we do not agree with this decision and, respectfully, we will be appealing it.” Freeland told reporters in Montreal. "I was convinced at the time it was the right thing to do, it was the necessary thing to do. I remain and we remain convinced of that," she said.

     

    Poilievre government would drop appeal of Emergencies Act ruling

    https://tnc.news/2024/01/26/poilievre-drop-appeal-emergencies-act/

    • Asked whether the Conservatives would drop the appeal if the Conservatives form government and it is still pending, a spokesperson for Poilievre said they would. “Yes, Mr. Poilievre would respect the ruling of the court on this matter,” the spokesperson said.

    • The emergency declaration was supposed in the House of Commons by the Liberals and New Democrats. Trudeau revoked the emergency before the Senate voted on it.

    • Poilievre trumpeted the decision when it was handed down, saying Trudeau “broke the highest law in the land with the Emergencies Act.”“He caused the crisis by dividing people. Then he violated Charter rights to illegally suppress citizens. As PM, I will unite our country for freedom.”

    From CanPat: So on last year’s episode where we sent in our New Year's resolutions, I said I wanted to buy more Bitcoin. Andrew poo-pooed the idea of buying Bitcoin. This is the 12 month price index. Well I bought some this year but not nearly enough. How have your investments worked out?

     

    • Was Andrew right?

      • We didn’t know what would happen with interest rates, crypto when up when interest rates held

      • FTX had just collapsed and crypto was very unstable. We didn’t know what would happen to Sam Bankman Fried, or with SEC regulations

    • Do you invest in Crypto?

    Liberal gun control bill passes Senate, becomes law

    https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/liberal-gun-control-bill-passes-senate-becomes-law-1.6687992

    • Bill C-21 passed the Senate without changes on Thursday, becoming law on Friday.

    • The version that made it to the Senate was significantly expanded from what the federal government had initially tabled a year prior.

    • Bill C-21 passed by a vote of 60 to 24(opens in a new tab), and with applause in the upper chamber.

    • The legislation includes measures to:

      • Tighten gun laws to include "red flag" and "yellow flag" provisions related to a gun owner posing a risk to themselves or others;

      • Impose a "freeze" on the sale, purchase or transfer of handguns in Canada;

      • A prospective Criminal Code "technical definition" of what constitutes a prohibited assault-style firearm, meant to "cement in law" a permanent ban on future models once the bill comes into force; It would include a firearm that is not a handgun that discharges centre-fire ammunition in a semi-automatic manner and that was originally designed with a detachable magazine with a capacity of six cartridges or more.

    However, the definition would cover only firearms designed and manufactured after the bill, known as C-21, comes into force. It would not affect the classification of existing firearms in the Canadian market, the government says.

    • A series of provisions meant to make it illegal to make or buy ghost guns and to combat firearms smuggling; and

    • Wording making clear the government's intent to uphold Indigenous treaty rights.

    • The bill also includes a requirement for a parliamentary review of the technical definition five years after it comes into effect, while a series of other related measures are being advanced through regulations.

    • after six sitting months that included a dozen days of study at the Senate National Security, Defence and Veterans Affairs Committee, where 66 witnesses were heard from(opens in a new tab), Bill C-21 passed the Senate without amendment.

    • Though, senators did submit several observations about the bill, including that the government should consider "additional policy measures," to address outstanding concerns, such as implementing a Canada-wide database and data collection process regarding all gun-related injuries and death, and consulting further with sport shooters.

      • Witnesses emphasized that several potential harms associated with owning a firearm would not be fully

    addressed by Bill C-21, including harms such as domestic violence and suicide. Consequently, the

    committee recommends that the Government of Canada undertake careful analysis and consideration

    of these potential harms, and develop comprehensive, tailored and integrated policy measures to be

    implemented alongside Bill C-21.

    • The committee recommends that the Government of Canada, in consultation with suicide prevention

    experts, consider whether information regarding mental health literacy, suicide and suicide prevention

    – including firearms-specific information – should be included in Canadian Firearms Safety Courses.

    • The committee recommends that the Government of Canada immediately develop and implement a

    Canada-wide database and data collection process regarding all gun-related injuries and deaths. This

    database and data collection process should be developed in consultation with the medical community

    most experienced in treating gunshot injuries and recording firearms-related deaths

    • The committee understands that Bill C-21 would create additional rules in relation to handguns.

    Specifically, with some exceptions, new registration certificates for handguns would not be issued and

    the transfer of handguns would be limited.

    Witnesses made comments about the effects that Bill C-21 would have on the ability of handgun

    owners to bequeath collectible handguns that have sentimental value to immediate family members.

    For these owners, the results could include stress, anxiety and anger.

    The committee encourages the Government of Canada to work with handgun owners to try to find

    solutions that could address this issue while both preserving public safety and maintaining the spirit of

    the legislation.

    • Witnesses expressed various views about the implementation of exceptions that would be granted to

    handgun shooting sports that are Olympic and Paralympic disciplines. There is concern that members of

    sport shooting organizations who fall outside of these defined terms will be unable to apply for an

    exception to compete in their sport. The committee encourages the Government of Canada to consult

    with all sports shooting stakeholders to ensure that regulations relating to Bill C-21 would guarantee

    the continuity of handgun shooting sports that are Olympic and Paralympic disciplines in Canada, and

    would ensure the existence of continued pathways for athletes of all skill levels to continue in these

    Disciplines.

    • The committee is aware that Bill C-21 would include a new definition for the term “prohibited firearm”

    in subsection 84(1) of the Criminal Code, with this proposed change designed to restrict certain new

    semi-automatic centre-fire firearms. There would be no impact on firearm models created before the

    proposed definition comes into force. Having heard Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions

    and Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic Leblanc’s comments about the re-establishment of the

    Canadian Firearms Advisory Committee, the committee wishes to express its support for a

    comprehensive ban on “assault-style firearms” that are not reasonable for use when hunting. From that

    perspective, the committee recommends that the Government of Canada expeditiously proceed, by

    order in council, to ban existing assault-style firearms.

    • Given the total absence of meaningful consultations, the government drafted a bill which will have no

    meaningful impact on firearms crime in Canada.

    Apart from certain measures, such as provisions related to ghost guns and the sharing of information

    that may facilitate 3D firearms printing, no components of Bill C-21 tackle the growing problem of gun

    crime in Canadian communities. Instead, the entire focus of the bill is on firearms owners who hold a

    restricted firearms licence and who are engaged in varied shooting sports or collecting.

    The government claims that, by banning the sale and purchase of legal handguns, it will reduce the

    supply of such firearms in Canada and thereby reduce the possibility that these particular firearms

    could be misused or stolen.

    There is no evidence to support this assertion. Witnesses who appeared before our committee

    repeatedly stated that nearly all handguns that are criminally used in Canada are smuggled firearms. 

    • “By removing the ability to enter the sport, new shooters are struggling to acquire the equipment to participate. Bill C-21 is requiring athletes to prove they are training for the Olympics before they even start into the event. It makes no sense. Athletes rarely start off a new sport with the sole purpose of making the Olympics. Sport is intended to promote activity for life. Why are we putting such an additional pressure on the shooting sports only to produce Olympians? Participation in other shooting sports provides an avenue to enter into the International Shooting Sport Federation, the ISSF events. It covers a greater opportunity for competition than just Olympic events. There are more events within the ISSF World Championships that are contested at the world games. Bill C-21 removes the option to compete at an international competition just because the Olympic Games has now a limited subset of what the ISSF covers.”

    Federal government to announce details of dental insurance plan

    https://www.cp24.com/news/federal-government-to-announce-details-of-dental-insurance-plan-1.6681990

    • The federal government hopes to avoid gumming up the works of its new dental-insurance plan by gradually phasing in enrolment over the course of the next year

    • Seniors over the age of 87 will be the first cohort to be able to apply to join a new federal dental-insurance plan.

    • It will be slowly expanded over the course of 2024 to include all qualifying seniors, children under the age of 18 and people with disabilities.

    • Holland announced the rollout of the program, which is currently budgeted to cost $13 billion over the next five years

    • The program is aimed at people with an annual household income under $90,000 who don't have access to private insurance.

    • Coverage will include preventive, diagnostic, restorative and surgical services — including X-rays, fillings, root canal treatments and dentures, among others

    • Once eligibility is expanded to all qualifying Canadian residents in 2025, it will be the government's largest social program.

    • The insurance plan is a key pillar in the Liberal's supply-and-confidence deal with the New Democrats to secure the opposition party's support on key votes.

     

    'I'm so broken': Grieving family speaks out after B.C. cancer patient awaiting treatment chooses MAID

    https://bc.ctvnews.ca/i-m-so-broken-grieving-family-speaks-out-after-b-c-cancer-patient-awaiting-treatment-chooses-maid-1.6675742

    • Kathleen Carmichael says B.C.’s health-care system let her family down. Her partner, Dan Quayle, opted for a medically assisted death It was a choice he made after waiting for chemotherapy and treatment that didn’t come fast enough.

    • The oncologist would come in and say, 'We’re pretty backlogged right now so hang in there

    • But Quayle ran out of time. The 52-year-old grandfather – described as jolly, big-hearted and playful – died on Nov. 24.

    • Quayle was diagnosed with esophageal cancer months after first feeling ill.

    • While he waited for treatment, his health declined, which led him to choose MAID

    • The family’s pain emerges as numbers reported on radiation therapy reveal that only 75 per cent of patients in B.C. are receiving it within the recommended 28-day benchmark — lower than the 77 per cent in May when the province started sending patients to the U.S. for radiation due to long waits in B.C.

    • The province has hired 61 oncologists and 27 radiation therapists since April. The health minister says those waiting longer than the benchmarks for radiation are being prioritized. “Those numbers — the people waiting 28 days are going to fall — because there are fewer people now on the waitlist,” said Dix Tuesday.

     

    Here's how much more it's expected to cost to feed a family of 4 in Canada next year

    https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/here-s-how-much-more-it-s-expected-to-cost-to-feed-a-family-of-4-in-canada-next-year-1.6675985

    • In 2022, a report estimated the overall food price increases would be between five to seven per cent — the latest data from Statistics Canada pegs the food inflation rate at 5.9 per cent.

    • In the latest edition of the annual report, the authors believe the overall rate of inflation will be lower in 2024, falling to somewhere between 2.5 and 4.5 per cent.

    • According to Charlebois, things are "much calmer now," which could result in more deals and potentially some price wars between the big grocers.

    • "Margins are going to be everything," he said. "And because consumers don't have any money now, grocers will be fighting for our business."

    • Over the next year, Charlebois believes grocery stores will be offering more incentives to consumers like loyalty programs and deals to entice people.

    • One of the tactics used is selling items at a loss, which brings the customer through the grocer's doors, but then the store would increase the prices for other items, hoping the consumer will buy those as well, he explained.

    Death toll rises to five in cantaloupe salmonella outbreak, as cases almost double

    https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/death-toll-rises-to-five-in-cantaloupe-salmonella-outbreak-as-cases-almost-double-1.6678564

    • Five people have died in a salmonella outbreak linked to Malichita and Rudy brand cantaloupes sold in six provinces.

    • The Public Health Agency of Canada says 129 people have been confirmed with salmonella linked to the outbreak, almost double the number at the last update on Dec. 1, when a single death had been recorded.

    • There are also 17 cases in Ontario, 15 in British Columbia, and two each in Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador.

    • The agency says 45 per cent of those who became ill were aged 65 and older while more than a third were children five and younger. people became sick between mid-October and mid-November, and 44 have been hospitalized People who are infected with salmonella bacteria can spread salmonella to other people several days to several weeks after they have become infected

    Widow takes Ontario police to court over declaration misconduct in her husband's death was 'not serious'

    https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/widow-takes-ontario-police-to-court-over-declaration-misconduct-in-her-husband-s-death-was-not-serious-1.6681891

    • A grieving widow is taking the Ontario Provincial Police to court as she challenges its decision to call the misconduct of an officer that contributed to her husband’s death “not of a serious nature” – a decision that denied her access to a public hearing in the case.

    • A CTV News investigation shows that the OPP has declared misconduct by its own officers not serious about 80 per cent of the time in the last five years, and sends identical paragraphs that don’t explain its reasoning in cases from neglect of duty to unlawful use of force.

    • Courtney D’Arthenay said she couldn’t believe she received a boilerplate letter informing her that the OPP would resolve her complaint without a hearing after an officer accidentally struck and killed her husband Tyler Dorzyk while speeding near Barrie in 2020.

    B.C. doctor fired for refusing COVID-19 shot loses bid to get hospital privileges back

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/theresa-szezepaniak-bc-hospital-appeal-board-covid-vaccine-1.7046988

    • Dr. Theresa Szezepaniak was fired from Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops in 2021

    • The Hospital Appeal Board has found that Dr. Theresa Szezepaniak's refusal of the shot in 2021 amounted to neglect of her obligations as a hospitalist at Royal Inland Hospital, and the decision to take action on her privileges was appropriate.

    • "The appellant [Szezepaniak] says that IH is required to respect her exercise of her Charter rights," an appeal board panel wrote in a Nov. 20 decision.

    • "The implication is that in order to respect her decision IH must not take any steps that hold the appellant accountable for the consequences of that decision. Having the right to make a decision, and your right to do so acknowledged, or respected, is not the same as being held responsible for the consequences."

    • in other words, the decision says, Interior Health didn't challenge Szezekpaniak's right to refuse the vaccine, but it did hold her accountable for the fact that choice left her unable to work under provincial law.

    A fitting humiliation for the Liberals, and for Canada

    https://nationalpost.com/opinion/chris-selley-a-fitting-humiliation-for-the-liberals-and-for-canada

    • bozo Liberal MP Mark Gerretsen had accused Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre of not applauding Zelenskyy’s address in the House of Commons lustily enough

    • To capture video evidence of Poilievre’s alleged lack of enthusiasm, Gerretsen naturally had to cease clapping altogether, which was inevitably caught on camera by someone else. It was perhaps the ultimate example of the old adage that foreign policy in Canada is 100 per cent for domestic consumption

    • Government House Leader Karina Gould sought (and did not receive) unanimous consent to expunge the entire Hunka episode from the official history

    • “Get caught lionizing someone who fought for Hitler … and channel Stalin in response”

    • Many seemed baffled by Gould’s proposal to wipe the record clean, but it seems pretty obvious to me what the Liberals had in mind: They’re so hopelessly shipwrecked up their own backsides that they actually thought they might productively accuse the Conservatives of being pro-Nazi for not agreeing to expunge the record. Or at least, they thought that was worth a try, at the cost of Gould’s reputation

     

    Poland's education minister says he's 'taken steps' to extradite Yaroslav Hunka

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/yaroslav-hunka-poland-minister-extradite-1.6978266

    • Poland's education minister says he has "taken steps" to effect the extradition to Poland of Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old Ukrainian Canadian, after it emerged that the veteran served in the Nazi SS Galizien formation during the Second World War.

    • Robert Currie, a law professor at Dalhousie University and an expert in extradition law, told CBC News Canada does not have a formal extradition agreement with Poland. "That doesn't prevent extradition. It just makes it a matter of more paperwork between the two governments," he said.Currie said Canada and Poland can agree to extradition in Hunka's case. Before that transfer could happen, he added, Poland would have to present evidence that Hunka committed a crime that Canada would recognize — he could not be extradited on the basis of his membership in the Nazi SS Galizien formation."We do not have crimes of association other than organized crime type-offences which are very, very specialized," he said.

    • Other challenges to extradition in Hunka's case, Currie said, include his advanced age and the question of whether he is fit to stand trial. Hunka could also challenge any extradition in court, a process that could take years.

    • The Netherlands refused an extradition request from Poland in 2020, citing concerns that judges in that country were not sufficiently independent of the Polish government. "When you have the government interfering with the courts, that gives the appearance of the potential for a fair trial being endangered, and that is an argument that a person can make [to avoid extradition]," Currie said. 

    B.C. Conservative leader under fire for likening teaching of sexuality, gender to residential schools

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/john-rustad-sept-30-tweet-1.6984159

    • John Rustad, MLA for Nechako Lakes, acknowledged the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in a Sept. 30 post on X, formerly known as Twitter."Today we remember what happens when the Canadian government thinks it's better at raising children than parents," read Rustad's post on Saturday, which was also shared on his party's official Facebook page."I will always stand with parents."

    • My tweet was not about the children and the impact that had on on the Indigenous people," said Rustad, a former minister of Aboriginal affairs and reconciliation with the B.C. Liberals, the party now known as B.C. United. "What happened to Indigenous people is obviously a very stark reminder of what happens when government does decide to interfere with the raising of children. And it's a very tragic."But in no way was I trying to compare students today to what students went through, but rather that what parents went through, and parents having their rights taken away, is not right at any level."

    Who started calling residential school burial sites mass graves?

    https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/first-nations-graves

    • In the spring of 2021, a series of ground-penetrating radar surveys near the sites of former Indian Residential Schools uncovered anomalies that appeared to be consistent with children’s graves. In the nationwide protests that followed, more than 60 Canadian churches were vandalized or destroyed, and statues were pulled down in virtually every major city.

    • The surveys would help spawn a new holiday, Truth and Reconciliation Day, prompt an official visit by Pope Francis and result in Canadian flags being kept at half-mast for a record-breaking five consecutive months.

    • And then, just last month, an excavation at the Pine Creek Residential School in Manitoba determined that 14 “anomalies” suspected to be children’s graves were actually nothing. To date, of the hundreds of suspected graves identified starting in 2021, Pine Creek is the only one that has been followed up with an archeological dig.

    • The preliminary claims of First Nations performing the surveys did not state that these were “mass graves,” that they were deliberately concealed or that they were the result of homicide. At least in the beginning, the claims of “mass graves” or mass murder would stem mostly from foreign news outlets.

    • When the Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan announced a survey showing 751 unmarked graves near the site of the former Marieval Indian Residential School, Chief Cadmus Delorme was careful to say they were not a mass grave. Rather, these were plots within a larger Catholic cemetery whose headstones Delorme said had been removed by Catholic authorities. “This is not a mass grave site. These are unmarked graves,” he said.

     

    Trudeau 'trying to crush free speech' with new podcast rules: Musk

    • “Trudeau is trying to crush free speech in Canada,” the owner of X posted on his social-media site in a reply to journalist Glenn Greenwald. “Shameful.”

    • Greenwald, the co-founder of The Intercept, said in his post to X that Canada is now “armed with one of the world’s most repressive online censorship schemes.”

    • The two were responding to changes announced on Friday by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission, which plans to “modernize Canada’s broadcasting framework and ensure online streaming services make meaningful contributions to Canadian and Indigenous content.”

    • The two were responding to changes announced on Friday by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission, which plans to “modernize Canada’s broadcasting framework and ensure online streaming services make meaningful contributions to Canadian and Indigenous content.”

    • Among the changes are requiring certain streaming services to provide information about their activities and setting conditions for streaming services to operate in Canada, including providing details about their content and subscribership.

    • The second change is already in effect, the CRTC said on its website, while companies that need to provide information about their activities must do so by Nov. 28.

    Trudeau cuts defence spending to fund socialist pet projects

    https://nationalpost.com/opinion/trudeau-cuts-defence-spending-to-fund-socialist-pet-projects

    • In July, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz met with their NATO allies in Vilnius, Lithuania, where they pledged their “enduring commitment to invest at least two per cent of our gross domestic product (GDP) annually on defence,” noting that, “in many cases, expenditure beyond two per cent of GDP will be needed in order to remedy existing shortfalls and meet the requirements across all domains arising from a more contested security order.”

    • A few months before reaffirming his commitment to it at the summit, Trudeau reportedly told NATO members behind closed doors that Canada would never spend two per cent of GDP on defence. And indeed, late last week, we learned that his Liberal government is looking to cut $1 billion from the annual defence budget, which would further reduce the measly 1.3 per cent of GDP this country spent on defence last year.

    • Speaking in front of a parliamentary committee on Thursday, Defence Minister Bill Blair said that, “The fiscal environment in Canada right now requires that when we are spending Canadian taxpayers dollars … we do it carefully and thoughtfully.” And he’s absolutely right. But it seems a little rich from a government that can’t seem to go a week without announcing millions in funding for high-speed internet in some remote part of the country or to virtue-signal for the woke cause du jour, and wastes tens of billions on its fruitless quest to forcibly decarbonize the economy.

    • Having a military that’s capable of defending your country’s sovereignty may not seem to be “creating public value for Canadians,” as Blair suggested government expenditures should be, and may not be a vote-getter like dental or child care, two areas Treasury Board President Anita Anand insinuated the government needs to find savings in order to fund.
