OP-ED: Trudeau government wants to give CBC more money

Remember watching The Simpsons on the CBC after school?

The Cape Fear homage was a great episode where an FBI agent is desperately trying to change the family’s last name to Thompson.

After hours of explanation, Marge has given up, the kids have fallen asleep and the agent says, “When I say ‘Hello Mr. Thompson’ and press down on your foot, you smile and nod. Got it?!”

Homer did not get it.

The Liberal members of Parliament on the heritage committee still don’t get it either. Just before the Christmas break, the committee sent a report to the House of Commons telling the Trudeau government to give the CBC even more money.

“That the Government of Canada provide a substantial and lasting increase in the parliamentary appropriations for CBC/Radio-Canada, allowing it to eliminate its paid subscription services and gradually end its reliance on commercial advertising revenues,” reads the report.

More money? The CBC already takes $1.4 billion year from taxpayers. Are they trying to get blood from a stone?

The amount of money we hand to the CBC every year could already cover the salaries of about 7,000 police officers and 7,000 paramedics.

If Trudeau’s MPs want to give the CBC more money so the state broadcaster can get rid of its subscription and advertising money, that means a huge price for taxpayers.

According it’s latest annual report, the CBC collected about $493 million in revenue other than government funding in 2023-24, the bulk being advertising and subscription fees.

So, these Trudeau government MPs want taxpayers to fund the CBC to the tune of about $2 billion per year.

We need to do the exact opposite.

The CBC should be defunded for three key reasons.

The CBC is a huge waste of money, nearly nobody is watching it and journalists should not be paid by the government.

The MPs on the heritage committee are well aware of this.

And we know they know because the Canadian Taxpayers Federation told them to their faces in testimony at the committee.

CBC CEO Catherine Tait repeatedly testified at the committee and each time she inadvertently made a stronger case to defund the CBC, due to her entitlement and lack of accountability.

Tait refused to say if she will take a severance when she leaves the CBC in the New Year, saying it’s a personal matter.

It’s not personal if it’s taxpayers’ money.

Documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation show Tait is being paid between $460,000 and $551,000 this year, with a bonus of up to 28 per cent.

That’s a bonus of up to $154,448. That’s more than the average Canadian family earns in a year.

Just before Christmas last year, Tait cried poor to the committee and afterwards the CBC announced layoffs in its newsrooms.

Documents obtained by the CTF show the CBC handed out big bonuses that year, despite the optics, costing taxpayers $18 million.

As the CBC booster club Friends of Canadian Media put it: “This decision is deeply out of touch and unbefitting of our national public broadcaster.”

Even after all of this money, the state broadcaster isn’t even doing a good job attracting a big audience of Canadians.

According to the CBC’s latest quarterly report, CBC News Network’s national audience share is 1.7 per cent. 

Documents obtained by the CTF show the CBC’s supper hour newscast drawing microscopic audiences, with 0.7 per cent of Toronto watching the six o’clock news on CBC.

Journalists should not be paid by the government because it’s an obvious conflict of interest.

As a journalist, you can’t hold a powerful government to account if you’re counting on that powerful government for your paycheque.

Government funding of media has contributed to the vanishing of trust in the news media, with 61 per cent of Canadians saying they think journalists are “purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations.”

CBC’s entertainment programming barely fares better. The Murdoch Mysteries, which is not produced by the CBC, pulls in its biggest audience with about 1.9 per cent of the population tuning in.

The politicians on the heritage committee know all of this, and yet, like Homer Simpson, they are not getting the message.

If the CBC needs money, it should earn that money itself.

Taxpayers can’t afford the state broadcast’s bill now, let alone hundreds of millions more.

It’s time to defund the CBC.

Canadians to face multiple federal tax hikes in 2025, taxpayer advocates warn

By

Canadians should brace for multiple tax increases as they prepare for 2025.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation released its annual report outlining major federal tax increases coming in the new year.

While many tax increases are upcoming, the federation highlighted increases to payroll taxes, the carbon tax, alcohol taxes, and the temporary sales tax holiday.

“Tax hikes will give Canadians a hangover in the new year,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “In 2025, the Trudeau government will yet again take more money out of Canadians’ pockets with payroll tax hikes and will make life more expensive by raising carbon taxes and alcohol taxes.”

The Liberals are raising the mandatory contributions to the Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance in 2025. The combined increase will cost Canadians up to $403 next year.

A Canadian making $81,200 or more will contribute taxes worth a combined $5,507 in 2025. Their employer will be forced to also contribute $5,938.

A previous study by the Fraser Institute revealed that Canada’s debt was “much worse” than the federal government claims it to be. This is because the Liberals count the Canada Pension Plan and Quebec Pension Plan as assets in their budgets. The report said the plans should not be counted as assets because they cannot be used to pay off Canada’s debt.

The two pensions account for around $716.7 billion in combined assets, equating to more than a quarter of the $2.7 trillion difference between Canada’s gross and net debt.

Canada’s debt officially doubled during Trudeau’s tenure on Aug. 30, exceeding $1.2 trillion. Trudeau spent more money during his tenure than every other prime minister before him combined.

A second CPP tax began in 2024 and will increase in 2025. What is known as “CPP2” will be applied to income between $71,300 and $81,200, maxing out at $396 in 2025, over double the previous maximum of $188. 

The Liberal government will move ahead on planned hikes to the federal carbon tax. By Apr. 1, 2025, the tax will increase by 21 cents per litre of gasoline, 25 cents per litre of diesel, and 18 cents per cubic metre of natural gas. 

“The carbon tax will cost the average household between $133 and $477 in 2025-26, even after the rebates, according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer,” reads the CTF’s release.

The Parliamentary Budget Officer has repeatedly proved that the average household pays more in carbon tax than they receive in the rebate. Despite this, the Liberals have stuck to their script, claiming that eight out of ten families get more back than they pay. Despite the Liberals remaining steadfast in their claims, eight out of ten families are not better off.

“It’s simply not credible to believe the government can impose a carbon tax, skim some money off the top, charge its sales tax on top of the carbon tax and then make families better off,” said Terrazzano.

Canadians will also be paying more for alcohol due to a 2% increase in the federal alcohol taxes beginning Apr. 1, 2025. Beer Canada estimates the 2% hike will cost taxpayers $40.9 million in additional costs in 2025-26. 

The tax hike on alcohol follows a 4.7% increase in 2024. Beer Canada estimates that the alcohol tax has cost Canadian taxpayers over $900 million since it was imposed in 2017.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation also highlighted increased capital gains tax following Budget 2024, which imposed digital services and online streaming tax.

A previous study showed that the capital gains tax alone could cost almost $90 billion in lost GDP and result in the loss of 414,000 jobs, with real GDP per capita declining by 3%.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation also highlighted the two-month holiday tax break that could save taxpayers up to $2.7 billion. The originally proposed $250 one-time cheque and tax break were set to cost taxpayers $6.2 billion combined, without including the provincial portion of the HST cut.

However, the $250 cheque was absent in the Fall Economic Statement. The statement revealed that Canadians were facing a deficit of $61.9 billion in the 2023-24 fiscal year, over 50% higher than Chrystia Freeland formerly promised to abide by.

Civil liberties group outlines five legal cases to watch in 2025

A Canadian civil liberties group says there are several legal challenges Canadians concerned about their constitutional rights should pay attention to in 2025.

Josh Dehaas, a civil liberties lawyer with the Canadian Constitution Foundation, told True North in an interview that the impact of five major civil liberties cases in 2025 could affect constitutional freedoms in Canada.

The list includes an appeal to a federal court decision that the government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act was unconstitutional, to Canadians being barred from going to their mother’s funerals interprovincially during the pandemic.

The government is set to have its appeal hearing at the Federal Court of Appeal between Feb. 3 and Feb. 5 next year to reverse the Federal Court’s findings that the invocation of the Emergencies Act was unconstitutional.

Dehaas said many people might look at the Freedom Convoy and think they have nothing in common with those protesters. He argued that if Canadians don’t protect the rights of even those they disagree with, they won’t have any rights left when needed.


“You never know when you’re going to need your rights.” Josh Dehaas said. “One day, there might be something that you want to go out there and express your speech and assembly rights in favour of. Everybody should care about this because it will affect you one day, too.”

The court found that there were no national emergencies, the claims that terrorism initially used in the invocation were bunk and that economic harm did not constitute a reasonable use of the Act.

The CCF will be cross-appealing the government’s appeal as the civil liberties group thinks the federal court judge incorrectly said the Canadian’s right to freedom of assembly was not violated by new powers granted to law enforcement by the Act.

Dehaas said it would be an interesting case for Canadians to watch because a Conservative government under Pierre Poilievre vowed to scrap the appeal. However, it’s unclear when an election will be called.


Saskatchewan police “snooping” on property without a warrant

Wayne Lester Singer, a Saskatchewan resident, is challenging charges laid against him after police entered his driveway without a warrant, looked in the window of his truck and charged him with impaired driving.

Dehaas said police allegedly found Singer “slumped over” in the vehicle, knocked on the window and gave him a breathalyzer test before laying charges.

Although the CCF doesn’t condone impaired driving, Dehaas said the case has serious implications for Saskatchewan resident’s rights to privacy.

“Police claimed that they have ‘implied license’ that allows people to walk onto your property and knock on your door, which can be used to snoop on people without a warrant,” Dehaas said. “We think that’s wrong, and the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal agrees with our position on that, but the government is fighting that and saying police should be allowed to do that, which we think is a breach of your Section 8 rights.”

Professor challenges government’s NSICOP secrecy law

Source: Facebook


Ryan Alford, a law professor, believes a Liberal government law introduced in 2017 prevents parliamentarians from informing the public of what gets sent to the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians violates the constitution.

The law prescribes 14 years in prison for any members of NSICOP if they reveal the contents of an NSICOP report. Dehaas said the law gives Trudeau executive control over the committee, and he can potentially send anything he doesn’t want the public to know about to the committee to prevent parliamentary debate. 

“Parliamentarians like the opposition need to be able to talk about national security matters openly and debate that openly so that the public knows what’s going on,” Dehaas said. “It shouldn’t be covered up essentially by the executive right by Trudeau’s office.

The Superior Court agreed with Alford, saying the law violates parliamentarians’ privilege to free speech, and Trudeau’s government is challenging his arguments in the Supreme Court of Canada.

Asylum Seeker suing after being denied tax-funded social services

An asylum seeker is suing the Quebec government for discrimination after being refused taxpayer-funded daycare for her children.

Bijou Cibuabua Kanyinda, from the Democratic Republic of Congo made an asylum claim after entering Canada from the US border at Roxham Road in 2018. After Kanyinda entered the country with her three children, she attempted to access subsidized daycare services in Quebec but was denied. 

She was denied access to social services as only those granted refugee status were entitled to the funds.

“It’s a policy decision. The budget is not unlimited, and charter equality should not extend unlimited benefits to non-citizens,” Dehaas argued.

Kimberly Taylor, a Nova Scotia resident, was prohibited from entering Newfoundland to attend her mother’s funeral and to be there for her grieving and alone father. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association is arguing that her right to freedom of movement in Canada was violated.

The CCF will intervene in the case, arguing that Taylor had a right to “freedom of movement” as granted by the charter. The government of Newfoundland argues that constitutional rights do not include the right to move freely between provinces in this way.

A timeline of Trudeau’s immigration failures, policy flip-flops and disasters

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s immigration policies have been a rollercoaster of unrealistic promises, ideological commitments, and sudden flip-flops in recent years. 

While his government has touted itself as a champion of humanitarianism and inclusivity, many of its decisions have been criticized for contributing to housing shortages, strained public resources, and ending Canada’s consensus on immigration. 

True North has compiled a timeline of Trudeau’s key immigration moves, from sweeping reforms to recent retreats, exposing a government caught between lofty rhetoric and harsh realities.

2015: Opening the door to over 100,000 Syrian refugees

Soon after being elected, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government under then-immigration minister John McCallum began with the resettlement of what would become over 100,000 Syrian refugees.

Canada boasted one of the most generous Syrian resettlement programs in the developed world. Additionally, as the program went on, Trudeau made his infamous “Welcome to Canada” tweet in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration restrictionist policies, sparking the ongoing illegal immigration crisis along the U.S. border. 

2017: Massive upsurge in Canada’s immigration targets

In 2017, Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen announced that Canada would welcome nearly one million immigrants over three years, with targets rising to 340,000 annually by 2020. While touted as necessary for economic growth, the plan faced backlash for ignoring the country’s limited housing supply and infrastructure.

Hussen also removed visa requirements for Mexico and 14 other countries, introducing the less stringent electronic travel authorization program. The program would eventually be rescinded upon the request of US authorities years later. 

Applicants using eTAs only had to fill out a simple application online that took several minutes to complete and was low-cost as opposed to the traditional visa process.

That same year, Hussen upended a 40-year policy that denied entry to immigrants who had high-cost health or social service needs. Under prior governments, those seeking to come to Canada had to prove their conditions would not cost Canadian taxpayers more than $7,000 per year – the amount that the average Canadian cost at the time.

The Liberals reversed this policy, tripling the maximum cost to taxpayers to $21,000 a year.

2020: Upped immigration targets to 1.2 million over 3 years

Under the leadership of Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino, the Liberal government made massive changes to Canada’s immigration targets.

The Liberals upped immigration to about 1% of the Canadian population annually for 2021 to 2023. They pledged at the time to let in 401,000 permanent residents in 2021, 411,000 in 2022 and 421,000 in 2023 – far above their previous commitments.

2020: Re-opened the border during COVID-19 to international students 

Despite ongoing travel restrictions for unvaccinated Canadians that lasted well into 2022, Mendicino said Canada would reopen its borders to international students in October 2020.

Under the Liberals, Canada’s population grew by over 1 million people in 2022, primarily due to immigration, marking the highest increase since 1957. 

However, with just 4.7 new homes built per 1,000 new residents, the population boom exacerbated the housing crisis and strained public services and the ongoing healthcare crisis.

2023: Fraser claims Canada’s new immigrants will fix housing shortages

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser claimed high immigration levels would help solve housing shortages by providing labor for construction projects. However, data showed population growth far outpaced housing completions, debunking his defense.

“I would urge caution to anyone who believes the answer to our housing challenges is to close the door on newcomers,” Fraser told CBC. 

“When I talked to developers, in my capacity as a minister of immigration before today, one of the chief obstacles to completing the projects that they want to get done is having access to the labour force to build the houses that they need.”

2023: Liberals admit nearly one million international students

In 2023, Immigration Minister Marc Miller admitted 900,000 international students, alongside half a million new residents and hundreds of thousands of temporary workers.

At the time, international students began to file asylum claims to try and stay in Canada longer than their prescribed visas. 

2024: Feds impose two-year cap on international students, reducing number by 35%

In a major policy reversal, Miller imposed a two-year cap on international student permits, reducing numbers by 35%. The decision followed mounting criticism over the impact of record-breaking admissions on housing and public services.

“In recent years, the integrity of the international student system has been threatened. Some institutions have significantly increased their intakes to drive revenues, and more students have been arriving in Canada without the proper supports they need to succeed. Rapid increases in the number of international students arriving in Canada also puts pressure on housing, health care and other services,” Miller said in a statement.

After facing pressure from U.S. authorities, Miller said his government would end the Liberals’ nearly eight-year practice of not requiring visas for Mexican nationals. 

“We strive for balance between the movement of people between our two great countries, and the need to relieve pressure on our immigration system so we can provide protection to those who need it the most,” said Miller at the time. 

Miller admitted that the decision was in response to a record number of asylum claims in the US from Mexican citizens entering via Canada.

After years of aggressively raising immigration levels, the Liberals announced a 20% reduction in permanent resident targets, scaling back to 365,000 annually by 2027.

Most recently, in a sharp departure from its “welcoming” rhetoric, the Trudeau government launched a global ad campaign to warn asylum seekers about the difficulties of making claims in Canada. 

LEVY: Toronto still failing to tackle homelessness – some things never change

By
Sue-Ann Levy

Twenty-five years ago, the late Jack Layton stood up before Toronto city council and guilted his colleagues into declaring homelessness a national disaster.

With 450 of his homeless pawns in tow, he urged council to create more shelter space; otherwise the homeless would die in the streets.

Before anyone had a chance to catch their breath, homelessness became an industry propped up by NDP activists.

They knew if they solved the problem they’d be out of work.

Shelter spaces were only supposed to be a stopgap measure towards independence.

But egged on by the activists, the growth in shelter spaces has been nothing short of dramatic.

In 1999 the city had just 2,313 shelter spaces.

A city spokesman told me last week 11,497 were staying in “emergency accommodation” — an increase of 500% in 25 years.

Almost half (47%) are refugees, according to the spokesman, proving that declaring Toronto a Sanctuary City — as former mayor John Tory did in 2017 — has been a giant bust.

It seems nothing has changed in 25 years and Layton’s widow and our current Mayor Olivia Chow intends to carry on his legacy with 20 more “emergency shelters” and 1,600 beds in the works.

These are shelter beds at an average cost of $250 per bed per night that are supposed to be for emergency use only.

The city’s Shane Gerard says this includes the room rate and all required supports, including food, security, cleaning, laundry, and wrap-around services. 

He claims the 20 smaller, purpose-built shelters will be more “cost effective” and help add “important stability” to the shelter system.

I thought affordable housing was to provide stability.

Instead of saying there is no more room at the inn for migrants and asylum seekers, Chow and her council are forcing taxpayers to absorb into lawful neighbourhoods highly expensive shelters that house a variety of addicts, people with mental health issues and migrants coming from countries where cultures and social mores are vastly different than Canada.

If they continue to beef up the shelter system, there will be less money for stable affordable housing.

Yet in the case of these planned shelter spaces, it seems money is no object.

For this latest shelter exercise the city has allocated out of the City Building Fund (comprised of that extra 1.5% in yearly taxes started by Tory) some $89.5 million to acquire the properties!

City officials are asking the feds to provide another $674.5 million over 10 years to continue the fiefdom building exercise.

At those prices each unit will cost $477,187 to build. That doesn’t include operational costs.

One of the first six shelters in the works — at 2535 Gerrard St. East — caught already shelter-weary residents of that area by surprise two months ago.

The plans for the proposed 80-bed shelter leaked out despite efforts by Chow to keep it secret. The outrage was tremendous.

Sources say the actual property — which has sat vacant for four years —was recently acquired by the city (in secret) for $7-million.

It was purchased in 2020 for $4.3-million, which means the city paid 40% more than it was worth four years ago.

Sources also say there are no comparable sites in the area.

Caught with their pants down, city officials are now working overtime to do a sales job.

They’ve hired a series of NDP-friendly consultants to advance the party line.

These third-party “Community Engagement Facilitators” will make a pretty penny essentially strong-arming the local residents into accepting the new shelters.

Third Party Public will make $106,850; long-time NDP activist and former councillor Joe Mihevc has a contract worth $79,500; and Public Progress, headed up by long-time activist Bruce Davis has signed a contract worth $199,000.

The first two to open — in 2027 if the city gets its act together — are the 2535 Gerrard St. E site and one at 1615 Dufferin St.

In a posted series of statements, the consultants can’t claim that the 2535 Gerrard St. E shelter is needed because the city’s shelter system is currently full and demand continues to increase.

Of course it does. This is a case of supply creating demand, not the other way around.

(Also see note above about stemming the tide of refugee claimants into the city.)

They also contend the city is buying land so they don’t have to continue to rely on temporary spaces in hotels. They want “permanent purpose-built spaces” that can respond to the “evolving needs” of the homeless — whatever the heck that means.

It sounds to me like an excuse for the NDPers on council to build housing, at which they have proven to be notoriously bad.

Naz Araghian, spokesman for the Hunt Club/Blantyre Residents Association, says the amount the Gerrard St. E. shelter — a temporary solution — will cost per person is the equivalent of many units the city could buy for many people.

Her issue is that this won’t solve homelessness in the long-term.

”We can’t afford Bandaid solutions,” she said recently.

Buying and renovating or building a new site for temporary shelter is the most inefficient route to take, not that any of this bothers any of the NDPers on council or their activist friends.

It is abundantly clear, however, why Chow is floating the idea of another major tax increase to fund what she calls more “investments” in the city.

I always love the word “investment” because it is nothing of the sort and does little to improve the quality of life for residents who’ve made Toronto their home for years and years.

Like all good Marxists, she wants to continue to build her housing fiefdom.

In a Sanctuary City like Toronto, this is no longer a homeless problem but a problem of not being able or willing to stem the flow of illegal migrants.

Liberals’ “amnesty” for banned guns ends this year. Here’s what gun owners need to know

By
Quinn Patrick, True North Wire

As the Liberals’ continue to expand the scope of their 2020 order-in-council banning nearly 2,000 models of firearms, this year is an important one for Canadian gun owners.

The ban was introduced in May 2020 when some 1,500 models of firearms became prohibited overnight following an order-in-council the Liberals said was prompted by a mass shooting in Portapique, N.S.

Weeks ago, the Trudeau government announced an additional 324 firearms would be added to the ban, on the eve of the 35th anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre.

The latest additions to the ban also included a newly updated list of parts and components. Included in the scope of the confiscation program are magazines, sights and grips, bolts and a wide array of barrels. 

The confiscation scheme requires gun owners to forfeit any of the now prohibited guns and the parts to the government by October 2025 as part of a “buyback” program which hasn’t yet been finalized.

“If you possess a newly prohibited firearm it must be securely stored in accordance with the storage requirements for that classification of firearm prior to prohibition,” reads a statement from Public Safety Canada.

While the government is finally moving on its confiscation program for firearm businesses – many of whom have been saddled with immovable inventory since the order-in-council four and a half years ago – there is no timeline for individual gun owners to have to forfeit their property, even with the end of the amnesty period just 10 months away.

“An individual can only transport the newly prohibited firearm under the following circumstances,” the statement continues, “returning it to a police officer without compensation; deactivating by an approved business; if not the owner, returning it to the owner; if the owner, but the firearm is not at home, returning the firearm home; legally exporting the firearm; and, if a business, returning the firearm to the manufacturer.”

The statement went on to say that individuals should not “deliver a firearm to a police station without first making arrangements with a police officer” to ensure a safe delivery or pick up. 

Additionally, individuals are prohibited from any and all options to grandfather these firearms to someone else. 

If one finds themselves travelling outside of Canada with a newly prohibited firearm, they must declare it upon their return so it can be intercepted by border authorities. 

“The individual will be given the option of exporting or abandoning the firearm to the Crown,” reads the statement. 

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has vowed to reverse the ban, however, should his party be elected to government before amnesty runs out.
