Political dynamics are keeping this corrupt federal government in power, leaving whistleblowers our best hope to dislodge it.
After more than nine years in power, the Canadian people voted out the Harper Conservatives in 2015. Change for change’s sake is not reason enough, as Canadians should have realized by now. The Justin Trudeau Liberal government, by contrast, has legitimately passed its best before date as it approaches its ninth anniversary. The country is a social and economic mess, and all but the most ardent Liberal supporters have woken up to this.
Conservative candidate Don Stewart won in Toronto-St. Paul’s in a July by-election, the first non-Liberal to win the midtown Toronto constituency and its predecessor since 1988. In a social media post, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said it was a “shocking upset in Toronto-St. Paul’s, where people voted to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime.”
Poilievre added that Trudeau needs to call a “carbon tax election now.” However, neither the Liberals, nor the NDP whose supply-and-confidence agreement keeps Trudeau in power, have any good reason to head to the polls and hand power to Poilievre.
A Leger poll released May 28, 2023, is the last one that had the Liberals leading in popular support. And, apart from an isolated January poll by Ipsos, Conservatives have enjoyed a double-digit percentage lead since September 23 of last year. 338canada.com has projected a Conservative majority since July 30, 2023 and now gives them better than 99 per cent odds of winning a majority government.
So, no, the Liberals have no reason to roll the electoral dice. Even if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks to empty rooms at NATO summits and lacks respect at home, he can still rule another 16 months. At this rate, it could be a long time before the Liberals get back in power, so he has every reason to keep undermining Canada for Cultural Marxist, globalist, or Chinese Communist causes.
The NDP have little reason to end their agreement with the Liberals either. The NDP only has power in a minority situation, best of all when it is with the ideologically-aligned Liberals. Besides, the NDP only recently cleared its 2021 election debts, and every day allows its war chest to accumulate.
As for the Bloc Quebecois, in some instances, they have indeed been worthy critics of the Liberal government. That said, they’d prefer to see Canada run by a Quebecer who sends plenty of money to Quebec. And, on a great many issues, the Bloc is more aligned with the Liberals than the Conservatives.
Where this leaves us is a vastly unpopular government that Canadians want gone, but the majority of MPs don’t. The fact Trudeau moved the 2025 fixed election date a few days later which enabled some MPs to be eligible for the MP pension did not hurt his cause either.
What might change this political logjam is the revelation of things so odious that no one dare defend it–not Liberal MPs, not NDP MPs, and not Bloc MPs.
Do you think such corruption exists? This author does. COVID-related contracts to Liberal-connected friends, sometimes for little offered in return, is just a part of it. The refusal to disclose to Parliament the terms of an $8 billion green slush fund is the most recent indication of upcoming problems. But there is likely much more.
Back in 2019, former intelligence officer Tom Quiggin floated a stunning accusation in episode 89 of his Quiggin Report podcast.
“There are multiple stories circulating in Ottawa, Brampton, Mississauga and Toronto, about government-run racketeering operations. What are the sources of these stories? They are long serving bureaucrats; they’re intelligence people; and, in one case, a long-standing lawyer who has experience in the field of criminal practice and immigration,” Quiggin explained.
Racketeering is extortion or bribery in the service of crime, which is organized and controlled.
“The political influence behind this racketeering is alleged to involve Members of Parliament and Ministers of the Crown. They are working in collusion with each other for payments that are alleged to run from $50,000 to $100,000 for each criminal act being requested,” Quiggin said.
“The payments are for individuals or groups who want government outcomes changed. It should be noted, this is not just the odd case. It’s reported to be a systemic issue with literally hundreds of outcomes affected.”
Quiggin looked into it and thought there might be something to it, though he admitted it was a long way from proof.
“There have been some changes in some patterns of immigration from specific points of exit from some foreign countries, and in two points of entry in Canada. In short, they fit into a pattern of accusations,” he found.
“Some form of intense and organized corruption is occurring in the Government of Canada.”
We would not have known about Canada’s foreign interference problem except for CSIS employees who leaked the information to the Globe and Mail last year. Let’s hope others who know things step forward. Otherwise, they will watch alongside the rest of us as the painful, controlled demolition of Canada continues.
