Liberals offer no response as Conservative MP calls Trudeau a ‘liar’ for an hour straight

During a July 23 House of Commons government operations committee meeting, Conservative MP Larry Brock spent 52 minutes explaining how Trudeau is a liar, with Liberal MPs failing to offer pushback against the characterization.

The Liberal Party appears to have given up on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as they recently sat quietly while a Conservative MP called Trudeau a habitual liar for nearly an hour.  

During a July 23 House of Commons government operations committee meeting, Conservative MP Larry Brock spent 52 minutes explaining how Trudeau is a liar, with Liberal MPs failing to offer pushback against the characterization.

 

“The Prime Minister has a penchant for lying,” Brock began. “He is a very good liar.”  

“All the members of this Liberal bench are facing the prospect of losing in the next election,” he continued. “That is the reality. This is the failed government they defend day after day after day.” 

Brock was speaking in reference to Trudeau’s 2015 Ministerial Mandate letter that promised Canadians frugal and ethical management.  

“What an absolute joke, an absolute lie,” said Brock. “Justin Trudeau committed the biggest fraud on this country.” 

“Justin Trudeau in that letter to Canadians talked about having the most ethical government, perhaps the most ethical government this country has ever seen,” he continued.   

“It’s no wonder when you’ve got the Prime Minister who so easily breaches our ethical standards, that he sets an example for his entire government,” said Brock. “No small wonder that various Ministers and various MPs including backbench MPs have followed suit and have been found guilty of ethical violations.” 

“Canadians are fed up,” Brock declared. “They were sold a bill of goods.”  

Are Liberals abandoning Trudeau’s government?  

Earlier this month, Liberal Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan abruptly quit his role in Trudeau’s cabinet, becoming the third Liberal MP from the small province of Newfoundland and Labrador to announce he won’t be seeking reelection.

The others are Ken McDonald, chair of the Commons fisheries committee, and MP Churence Rogers.  

While some Liberal MPs are announcing they are leaving politics, others are calling for Trudeau to resign “for the good of our country.” 

Calls for Trudeau’s resignation come as the Conservative Party won a June by-election in a longstanding Liberal-stronghold riding in downtown Toronto. 

The by-election win marked a massive victory for the Conservative Party and its leader Pierre Poilievre as the Toronto-St. Paul’s riding has voted Liberal since the 1980s. The win marked the first time the Conservatives have won an urban Toronto riding since 2011. 

The election follows months of polling projecting a massive Conservative victory in the next general election as Trudeau’s popularity continues to plummet.   

A June 17 poll from Abacus Data found that Conservatives have a 20 point lead over the Trudeau Liberals, while support for the Trudeau government has dropped to the lowest level since 2015.  

Similarly, as LifeSiteNews previously reported, 70 percent of Canadians feel that “everything is broken in this country,” explaining that Trudeau’s Liberal government is too focused on “climate change” and the war in Ukraine instead of real issues facing Canadians such as the rising cost of living.  

Who to blame for the Liberal’s fall?  

As Liberals attempt to distance themselves from the prime minister during his fall from grace, others say Trudeau is merely the scapegoat for the Liberal Party’s failure. 

Indeed, while Trudeau may flounder in media interviews and flout his lavish vacations to struggling Canadians, it is important to remember that he is only the deliverer of the Liberal Party’s globalist agenda – not the mastermind.

This should be obvious to Canadians as Trudeau has close ties to both China and the World Economic Forum – with many of his policy decisions, like the carbon tax or vaccine passports, being too similar to what globalists desire to be considered a coincidence.

Remember, it was Trudeau in 2013 who praised China for its “basic dictatorship,” labeling the authoritarian nation as his favorite country other than his own.  

Perhaps it was this comment that left many Canadians unsurprised when in April, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) confirmed that China was working to help elect regime-friendly Canadian MPs.   

In fact, almost none of Trudeau’s policies seem to be an original product of his mind. His current “environmental” goals, for example, are in lockstep with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – which include the phasing out coal-fired power plants, reducing fertilizer usage, and curbing natural gas use over the coming decades. 

With Trudeau and some of his cabinet being openly involved in the WEF, the group behind the infamous “Great Reset” agenda, Canadians may not want to get too excited as the Liberal Party falls apart. While Liberals may be abandoning their leader, there is little evidence they are abandoning his causes.

Massive government child-care plan wreaking havoc across Ontario

Published on June 30, 2025

By

From the Fraser Institute

By Matthew Lau

It’s now more than four years since the federal Liberal government pledged $30 billion in spending over five years for $10-per-day national child care, and more than three years since Ontario’s Progressive Conservative government signed a $13.2 billion deal with the federal government to deliver this child-care plan.

Not surprisingly, with massive government funding came massive government control. While demand for child care has increased due to the government subsidies and lower out-of-pocket costs for parents, the plan significantly restricts how child-care centres operate (including what items participating centres may purchase), and crucially, caps the proportion of government funds available to private for-profit providers.

What have families and taxpayers got for this enormous government effort? Widespread child-care shortages across Ontario.

For example, according to the City of Ottawa, the number of children (aged 0 to 5 years) on child-care waitlists has ballooned by more than 300 per cent since 2019, there are significant disparities in affordable child-care access “with nearly half of neighbourhoods underserved, and limited access in suburban and rural areas,” and families face “significantly higher” costs for before-and-after-school care for school-age children.

In addition, Ottawa families find the system “complex and difficult to navigate” and “fewer child care options exist for children with special needs.” And while 42 per cent of surveyed parents need flexible child care (weekends, evenings, part-time care), only one per cent of child-care centres offer these flexible options. These are clearly not encouraging statistics, and show that a government-knows-best approach does not properly anticipate the diverse needs of diverse families.

Moreover, according to the Peel Region’s 2025 pre-budget submission to the federal government (essentially, a list of asks and recommendations), it “has maximized its for-profit allocation, leaving 1,460 for-profit spaces on a waitlist.” In other words, families can’t access $10-per-day child care—the central promise of the plan—because the government has capped the number of for-profit centres.

Similarly, according to Halton Region’s pre-budget submission to the provincial government, “no additional families can be supported with affordable child care” because, under current provincial rules, government funding can only be used to reduce child-care fees for families already in the program.

And according to a March 2025 Oxford County report, the municipality is experiencing a shortage of child-care staff and access challenges for low-income families and children with special needs. The report includes a grim bureaucratic predication that “provincial expansion targets do not reflect anticipated child care demand.”

Child-care access is also a problem provincewide. In Stratford, which has a population of roughly 33,000, the municipal government reports that more than 1,000 children are on a child-care waitlist. Similarly in Port Colborne (population 20,000), the city’s chief administrative officer told city council in April 2025 there were almost 500 children on daycare waitlists at the beginning of the school term. As of the end of last year, Guelph and Wellington County reportedly had a total of 2,569 full-day child-care spaces for children up to age four, versus a waitlist of 4,559 children—in other words, nearly two times as many children on a waitlist compared to the number of child-care spaces.

More examples. In Prince Edward County, population around 26,000, there are more than 400 children waitlisted for licensed daycare. In Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County, the child-care waitlist is about 1,500 children long and the average wait time is four years. And in St. Mary’s, there are more than 600 children waitlisted for child care, but in recent years town staff have only been able to move 25 to 30 children off the wait list annually.

The numbers speak for themselves. Massive government spending and control over child care has created havoc for Ontario families and made child-care access worse. This cannot be a surprise. Quebec’s child-care system has been largely government controlled for decades, with poor results. Why would Ontario be any different? And how long will Premier Ford allow this debacle to continue before he asks the new prime minister to rethink the child-care policy of his predecessor?

Canada Caves: Carney ditches digital services tax after criticism from Trump

Published on June 30, 2025

Canada caved to President Donald Trump demands by pulling its digital services tax hours before it was to go into effect on Monday.

Trump said Friday that he was ending all trade talks with Canada over the digital services tax, which he called a direct attack on the U.S. and American tech firms. The DST required foreign and domestic businesses to pay taxes on some revenue earned from engaging with online users in Canada.

“Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately,” the president said. “We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period.”

By Sunday, Canada relented in an effort to resume trade talks with the U.S., it’s largest trading partner.

“To support those negotiations, the Minister of Finance and National Revenue, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, announced today that Canada would rescind the Digital Services Tax (DST) in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States,” according to a statement from Canada’s Department of Finance.

Canada’s Department of Finance said that Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump agreed to resume negotiations, aiming to reach a deal by July 21.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Monday that the digital services tax would hurt the U.S.

“Thank you Canada for removing your Digital Services Tax which was intended to stifle American innovation and would have been a deal breaker for any trade deal with America,” he wrote on X.

Earlier this month, the two nations seemed close to striking a deal.

Trump said he and Carney had different concepts for trade between the two neighboring countries during a meeting at the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, in the Canadian Rockies.

Asked what was holding up a trade deal between the two nations at that time, Trump said they had different concepts for what that would look like.

“It’s not so much holding up, I think we have different concepts, I have a tariff concept, Mark has a different concept, which is something that some people like, but we’re going to see if we can get to the bottom of it today.”

Shortly after taking office in January, Trump hit Canada and Mexico with 25% tariffs for allowing fentanyl and migrants to cross their borders into the U.S. Trump later applied those 25% tariffs only to goods that fall outside the free-trade agreement between the three nations, called the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

Trump put a 10% tariff on non-USMCA compliant potash and energy products. A 50% tariff on aluminum and steel imports from all countries into the U.S. has been in effect since June 4. Trump also put a 25% tariff on all cars and trucks not built in the U.S.

Economists, businesses and some publicly traded companies have warned that tariffs could raise prices on a wide range of consumer products.

Trump has said he wants to use tariffs to restore manufacturing jobs lost to lower-wage countries in decades past, shift the tax burden away from U.S. families, and pay down the national debt.

A tariff is a tax on imported goods paid by the person or company that imports them. The importer can absorb the cost of the tariffs or try to pass the cost on to consumers through higher prices.

Trump’s tariffs give U.S.-produced goods a price advantage over imported goods, generating revenue for the federal government.
