Canada's House of Death

The world leader pictured at lower right [should be left, no? Ed.] is Blackie McBlackface, Prime Minister of Canuckistan, with the dog who doubles as his deputy and Finance Minister. 

The lovely and talented dwarf [Which one is that? Ed.] will have her work cut out for her to find the $6.2 billion ($4.4 billion in real money) needed to pay for M Trudeau's latest attempt to bribe Canadians with their own money, but we'll come to that in a minute.

Her master returned to the House of Commons -- the lower house of Canada's Parliament -- on Wednesday, after a week of swanning around South America telling the Latinx not to worry about Trump, Canada will save the world. 

M Trudeau found things much as he left them, except that his bloated cabine has been reduced to 37 ministers, down from 38 at the beginning of the week. For stats freaks, 37 is 24% of the 153 Liberal Members of Parliament eligible for the extra salary and perqs that go with a cabinete position. How does the US of A manage to get along with a cabinet of only 7 or 8?

Canada's misgovernment will have to get along without the services of the Honourable Randy Boissonnault, who was the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Official Languages -- the title tells you all you need to know about Canada -- until he got caught in a web of lies about his racial status.

M Boissonnault has been under the microscope for months, from the House Ethics Committee's scrutiny of his former medical supply business partner's texts and subsequent probing around "the real Randy", to "revisions" of his past claims to indigenous identity. The Notional Pest revealed this week that the honourable minister is not a First Nations (read: Indian -- feathers, not turbans) person, but only a Pretendian. His previous claim that his great-grandmother was Cree was untrue, as was his claim that he had been adopted by a Cree family. That family turned out to be Métis, and in Canada that's a hyuge difference.

M Boissonnault has also previously said that upon re-election, he cut ties with the company he co-founded -- an assertion that’s been in question since last spring -- but faced new scrutiny recently after it came to light that the company claimed to be "Indigenous-owned", thus entitled under Liberal DEI rules to preferential treatment when bidding on federal contracts.  

Friday's announcement that Boissonnault had walked the plank came less than 24 hours after M McBlackface insisted that his only Alberta minister still had a place on the Liberal front benches. During Question Period, Cuckservative Leader Pierre Poilievre snarked, "Up until a minute ago, had a minister with a double identity. The prime minister knew the former minister was directing his business illegally from inside cabinet. He knew the former minister had claimed there was another Randy when there was no other Randy. He knew the former minister had falsely claimed to be Indigenous… yet he stood by him up until yesterday."

Little Potato (that's what the Chinese call him) responded by restating, "the member for Edmonton Centre has stepped down from cabinet to focus on clearing these allegations." So that's all right then.

To take Canucks' minds off this latest scandal, M Trudeau and his dog announced on Thursday a gigantic Christmas Winter Holiday gift to the shivering frostbacks, in the form of a two-month "tax holiday" from the hated GST on numerous items, such as Christmas Winter Holiday trees, to take effect on December 14th. Who buys a Christmas Winter Holiday tree in the middle of December?

But wait (the Gliberals said), there's going to more. Every Canadian who worked in 2023 but made less than C$150,000 will get a cheque for $250. How about that?! Those who were unemployed, and senior Canucks living on their pensions get squat, but that too is all right.

But there's a fly in the ointment. [Isn't there always? Ed.] To be able to cut the cheques, the Gliberals will need to get a supply (American readers, read: appropriations) bill through Parliament, which means the House of Commons since the Canadian Senate is only a rubber stamp. Unfortunately, the House has effectively shut down. 

On Monday, the House will mark two months in which it hasn’t actually done anything. MPs are showing up to work, petitions are being tabled and quips and japes are being hurled across, the floor, but bills aren't getting passed, votes aren't being held and legislation isn't being debated. In other words, the MPs, although collecting their pay, aren't doing anything to earn it.

With no routine supply bills being approved, parts of the federal government could start running out of money as early as December 10th, according to the President of the Treasury Board, who last week tabled a $21.6 billion supply bill, which is simply mouldering on the order paper with everything else. Adding another $6.2 billion won't make life any easier for the Natural Governing Party.

In fact, the Trudeaunians can't do anything at all, owing to the current gridlock, which was caused by a demand by the opposition parties, for access to unredacted copies of documents, including e-mails, related to alleged [LMAO. Ed.] corruption at Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), a foundation that funds and supports "clean technoloy innovation" (read: greenscam). 

The SDTC is also known as the Green Slush Fund. Back in September, the House (in which the Liberals do not have a majority) passed a motion requiring every scrap of paper related to the SDTC to be handed "forthwith" to the Mounties for "investigation". So far, most of the documents the Liberals have turned over have been severely redacted. Whole passages have been blacked out, and hundreds of pages withheld. 

On September 26th, Speaker Greg Fungus told the Trudeau government that this was against the rules, and that the House of Commons was owed unredacted documents. When the Liberals continued to refuse, the Conservatives responded by seizing the wheel of the House, by tabling a motion to refer the issue to a committee, where the matter has been debated ever since.

Since the debate is on an issue of Parliamentary privilege, it takes precedence over absolutely everything else, including more than a dozen pending bills that haven't been touched in two months. The Bloc Québécois or the NDP could table a motion to end the debate, but they haven’t. Whether the proposal to declare a "tax holiday" will dynamite the log jam remains to be seen.

Canadians are itching to get rid of Chief Walking Goose, and would dearly love him to call a snap election ASAP. It seems more likely that he will hang on until the last minute, which would be 20 October 2025, according to the fixed-date provisions of the Canada Elections Act. Among the Liberal proposals languishing on the Order Paper is one which would postpone the date to 27 October 27, to avoid conflicting with Diwali. Surprised? 

The one-week delay would ensure that dozens of MPs, of all parties, would "serve" (as they call it) long enough to qualify for generous pensions, even if they are defeated in the next go-round. If you're still suprised, you don't understand Trudeau's Canada. But so what. The only things that matter to Canadians are hockey and beer. Watching a game of shinny while slurping up a bucket of suds and whining about the government... that's Canada.
