Free Republic

Meanwhile, Americans and Canadians are heading for Niagara Falls and it doesn’t help any that we’re both in the same boat now. Nothing but the sound of crickets since this country became what talented writer David Solway calls ‘The Socialist Republic of Canada’. Solway nailed how Canada was officially ‘fundamentally transformed’ into a socialist state, courtesy of the October 19 election, in a compelling piece published in PJ Media on Thursday. Solway laid bare Designate Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s lightweight curricula vitae, and threw the public spotlight on how al Jazeera sees him: as “Canada’s agent for change”. America’s “agent...

Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau, dressed as Han Solo from The Empire Strikes Back, walks with his children Hadrien (second from right), Ella-Grace and Xavier, as his wife Sophie Gregoire, dressed as Princess Leia, jokes with onlookers as the family prepares to go trick-or-treating in Ottawa on Saturday. (Justin Tang/Canadian Press) Justin Trudeau took on a more swashbuckling image Halloween night as he took his family out trick or treating. Canada's next prime minister dressed up as Han Solo of Star Wars fame while Sophie Gregoire wore a Princess Leia costume as they took their three children to knock on...

As is well known now, left-leaning Canadian politician Justin Trudeau registered a big win last week over long-serving Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Media and pundit consensus was that a lagging Canadian economy – most notably in the commodity sector – sealed Harper’s fate. With any country anywhere in the world, elections are nearly always about the economy. But to understand the real story behind the incomplete story being reported (Steve Forbes’ account a notable exception), it’s worth traveling back in time to the late 1990s when oil was trading at $10/barrel, and Canada was seen by an American right wing...

Justin Trudeau is Canada’s new prime minister after leading the Liberal Party to a majority government win — which bodes ill for the Keystone XL pipeline. Trudeau’s victory ends the decade-long rule of Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper who supports Keystone XL. If approved by the Obama administration, Keystone will send oil sands from Alberta to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Trudeau supports Keystone XL, but the newly elected prime minister’s support may fold under pressure from the White House. President Barack Obama claims environmental and global warming concerns are keeping him from approving the project — even though...

The dust has settled north of the border and the Canadians have swept a new, liberal government into power under the leadership of Justin Trudeau. The first question which likely jumped up in the minds of many Americans was… so what? Canada is an ally and a strong trading partner, particularly when it comes to oil. They make some awesome maple syrup and have rather odd tastes in donuts, but aside from that we can pretty much leave them to their own devices, right? The liberals in charge may be far more fanatical about environmental issues and are more...

Justin Trudeau, the dashing son of political legend Pierre Trudeau, ushered in Canada’s first political dynasty with a stunning victory in national elections. But the incoming prime minister made clear Tuesday that he will chart his own path and introduce change after nine years of Conservative government. A day after defeating Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Trudeau told President Obama by phone that he would make good on a campaign promise to withdraw Canada’s jets from the U.S.-led bombing campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Canada has committed a half-dozen fighter planes, a fraction of the American air...

Canada’s prime minister-elect Justin Trudeau has told US President Barack Obama that Canadian fighter jets would withdraw from fighting the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, but gave no timeline. “About an hour ago I spoke with President Obama,” Trudeau told a press conference. While Canada remains “a strong member of the coalition against ISIL,” Trudeau said he made clear to the US leader “the commitments I have made around ending the combat mission.”

Here’s looking at you, “kid”! Fox News Channel personality Geraldo Rivera sent a congratulatory message Tuesday to “stud” Canadian Prime Minister-elect Justin Trudeau — whose mother he once claimed to have bedded. “Congrats to @JustinTrudeau #Canada now has a stud prime minister who’s going to inject passion & energy into a nation’s staid, safe policies,” Rivera tweeted. Back in 1991, Rivera boasted in his kiss-and-tell book “Exposing Myself” that he had a steamy tryst with the prime minister-elect’s mom and former Canadian first lady Margaret Trudeau.

It is astonishing that the world learned nothing from the election of Obama. Justin Trudeau is to the left of Obama. What were Canadians thinking?

The Conservative Party of Canada had known for some time it was in trouble. Some polls taken in the last year had shown the Liberals at 43 percent support (They won with just under 40 percent last night). The CPC launched a major media campaign during the summer right before the election call at the beginning of August. The message carried by the women who appeared in the commercials was that Justin Trudeau 'just wasn't ready for the job'. Women were being used because the youthful looking Trudeau appealed to women and it was hoped that women's voices would help...

Stephen Harper, the only leader the Conservative Party of Canada has ever known, is stepping down. It just isn't clear when. Conservative Party president John Walsh made the announcement in a media release Monday night, shortly after Justin Trudeau's Liberals captured a stunning majority government. "I have spoken to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and he has instructed me to reach out to the newly elected parliamentary caucus to appoint an Interim Leader and to the National Council to implement the leadership selection process pursuant to the Conservative Party of Canada constitution," Walsh said in the release.

Canada's Liberal leader Justin Trudeau rode a late campaign surge to a stunning election victory on Monday, toppling Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives with a promise of change and returning a touch of glamor, youth and charisma to Ottawa. Canada's major television networks projected the Liberals' victory and the party was on the cusp of a majority. While the final vote count was not yet complete, Trudeau's Liberals were on track to win 174 of Parliament's 338 seats, according to Elections Canada. Trudeau, 43, the photogenic son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, vaulted from third place to lead the...

Gerald Butts’ was equating Christians with devil-worshippers Gerald Butts, the principal advisor to the Liberal Party leader, spent part of Easter Sunday tweeting. In one tweet, he wrote, “With all the bible quotes on @twitter, a reminder from Willy Shakespeare: ‘The devil can quote scripture for his purpose.’” Butts was called out for his tweet and it was pointed out to the principal advisor that perhaps Easter Sunday was not the best day to take a pot shot at Catholics. Butts, in true Grit fashion defended himself by saying he is Catholic and nowhere did he mention “Catholics,” (true). He...

Should Trudeau wind up as prime minister, hopefully Clinton will still be around. Someone needs to set him straight Since Trudeau Jr. became leader of the third place Liberal Party of Canada, the media, with the exception of Sun News, have been giving the guy a free ride. Much like Barack Obama, he can do no wrong in spite of the fact that with the exception of his hair, he can’t seem to get anything right. Canada’s two main political parties have always maintained close ties with their American counterparts. While the Liberals sometimes whine, yell and scream that the...

Justin Trudeau is not fit to become prime minister of Canada. Not a matter of ideology, but a complete lack of comprehension of the world around him and the dangers Canada faces It is no secret Liberal leader Justin Trudeau is not overly concerned with the terrorism now threatening the West. While being interviewed a couple of hours after the Boston Marathon bombing, he was asked his opinion on it. At that time none of the facts of the explosions were known. A grownup would have declined to answer. Yet Trudeau, without knowing the “who” or the “why” said we...

Justin Trudeau is beyond the stage of simply being a joke. A Liberal government led by Junior and sympathetic to terrorists would be dangerous On June 19, 2014, Bill C-24 received Royal Assent and was passed into law. Referred to as the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act, the provisions are coming into force on staggered dates. Some of the amendments to the Citizenship Act took place immediately, some on Aug. 1, and others will come in on dates set by the Governor-in-Council.

By associating with extremist mosques and Hamas supporters, the kid who brags of teaching Canadian values is more than willing to throw these values away Sun News is reporting the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada made another visit to a mosque with controversial ties to terrorism. The Sun chain is the only mainstream media in Canada to report anything negative about the left’s golden boy, Justin Trudeau. According to the report, Trudeau visited the Islamic Community Centre of South Shore, just south of Montreal on Friday. The centre is known for having given thousands of dollars to the...

Although Justin Trudeau acts like a child, he’s 42-years-old and totally incapable of coherent thought, let alone running a country The words “barbarian,” “barbarism,” and “barbaric” are being used quite often these days in relation to the Islamic State’s activities. Although the beheading and slaughtering of Yazidis and Christians, including women, children and babies, did not cause too much of an outrage in political circles and the mainstream media, it took the beheading of James Foley, a freelance journalist, to get the “b” words rolling. Even the left wing media that would never call the Islamic State terrorists, preferring the...
