Official bilingualism costs $2.4B a year: study As more and more Canadians speak languages other than English and French, the federal and provincial governments are spending $2.4-billion annually on official bilingualism, according to a new report from the Fraser Institute. The 10 provinces spend a total of $900-million annually on minority language services, with the bulk going toward French-language education outside Quebec and English-language education inside Quebec. Ontario spends the most, doling out $623-million — or $1,275 for each minority member. While Quebec ranks third in overall spending at $51-million annually, it spends the least per minority member — mostly anglophones — at just $85 a head. http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/official-bilingualism-costs-2-4b-a-year-study Why Canada needs a better mortgage backstop Headlines about new record highs for housing prices in Toronto are a reminder that Canadian prices remain well above historical trends. Naturally, numerous economic commentators follow such news with warnings of the potential risks from high house prices and high household debt. The good news is that a housing crash remains unlikely. Unlike the U.S. in the early 2000s, Canadian lenders have maintained prudent underwriting standards. As a result, most borrowers are currently able to manage their mortgage payments. http://business.financialpost.com/fp-comment/why-canada-needs-a-better-mortgage-backstop Feds, province give grants of $42M each to Honda for Ontario plant The federal and Ontario governments are each providing Honda Canada with grants of up to $41.8 million for upgrades and research and development at its operations in Alliston, Ont. The government money, along with up to $408.3 million from Honda itself, will go toward vehicle-assembly technology, as well as the design and construction of a new paint shop that is expected to cut greenhouse gas emissions nearly in half. The conditional grants and Honda investment will also go toward research and development “to support production of future vehicle models, including software upgrades and prototyping of new components.” http://www.torontosun.com/2017/01/09/feds-province-give-grants-of-42m-each-to-honda-for-ontario-plant ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUrL9U7mg6U

Trudeau makes corruption the new normal in politics After five years in power, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has succeeded in normalizing corruption in Canadian politics. That was a key finding in a Global/Ipsos poll of 2,000 Canadian adults, taken Aug. 17-18 and released last week. https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/goldstein-trudeau-makes-corruption-the-new-normal-in-politics Corruption in Canada worst in a decade, finds international watchdog Since 2015, the year Liberal leader Justin Trudeau became Prime Minister, Canada has fallen nine points, to a score of 74 out of 100 on the Transparency International's 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index. No country has seen a bigger drop in ratings since 2017 than Canada. https://biv.com/article/2022/01/corruption-canada-worst-decade-finds-international-watchdog Justin Trudeau Expresses ‘Admiration’ for China in Resurfaced Video Far-left Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is under fire for his poor handling of his country’s anti-mandate protests, praised China’s dictatorship in a resurfaced video from 2013. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/02/15/watch-justin-trudeau-expresses-admiration-for-china-in-resurfaced-video/ Justin Trudeau: Puppet Prime Minister of Canada Foreign interference has helped Trudeau get elected several times. Is Justin Trudeau a fake prime minister? Some shocking leaks from Canada’s Security Intelligence Service (csis) to the Globe and Mail reveal that the Chinese Communist Party interfered in the 2019 and 2021 elections to ensure Trudeau was reelected into a minority government. The most damning detail is that the prime minister was briefed on the threat of Chinese interference in 2019 and 2021 but did nothing to stop the Chinese operations in either election. Why? https://www.thetrumpet.com/27133-justin-trudeau-puppet-prime-minister-of-canada Justin Trudeau Worst Prime Minister In Modern Canadian History A new survey undertaken by Polling Canada found that Canadians have rated Justin Trudeau the worst Prime Minister of modern times. Those Who Say (X) Has Been Canada’s Worst Prime Minister: J. Trudeau: 29%, Harper: 17%, P. Trudeau: 6%, Campbell: 6%, Mulroney: 5%. Cultural Action Party cannot help but delve into multiple curiosities, mostly related to media presentation: “Three-in-Ten Canadians Say Justin Trudeau is Worst Recent Prime Minister.” https://capforcanada.com/poll-justin-trudeau-worst-prime-minister-in-modern-canadian-history/ Justin Trudeau is destroying Canada from the inside out He likes to present himself as erudite. Anyone who refers to mankind as “peoplekind,” confuses Japan with China on more than one occasion, believes that terrorism “happen[s] because someone feels excluded,” or proudly states regarding the review of an arms deal with Saudi Arabia that “we take … the breaking of contracts very seriously in this country” cannot be considered an intellectual giant. In 2016, he attempted to demonstrate his putatively brilliant insight into quantum field theory. Instead, he revealed himself a shallow dilettante at play, as if little more than an ethereal quantum fluctuation himself, whose antics could fool only an equally ignorant media and frivolous electorate. Trudeau studied environmental geography at McGill University and engineering at the Université de Montréal, but few people know that he failed to complete degrees in either faculty. https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/justin-trudeau-is-destroying-canada-from-the-inside-out/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vhgQTcr8Gs
