Liberals offer no response as Conservative MP calls Trudeau a ‘liar’ for an hour straight
From LifeSiteNews
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?
The meeting ended without one Liberal MP objecting to Brock’s characterization of Trudeau as many Liberals appear to be abandoning the leader of their party.
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.
Once upon a time, Canadians were known for our prudence and good sense to such an extent that even our Liberal Party wore the mantle of fiscal responsibility.
Whatever else you might want to say about the party in the era of Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin, it recognized the country’s dire financial situation — back when The Wall Street Journal was referring to Canada as “an honorary member of the Third World” — as a national crisis.
And we (remember, I proudly served as Member of Parliament in that party for 18 years) made many hard decisions with an eye towards cutting spending, paying down the debt, and getting the country back on its feet.
Thankfully we succeeded.
Unfortunately, since then the party has been hijacked by a group of reckless leftwing fanatics — Justin Trudeau and his lackeys — who have spent the past several years feeding what we built into the woodchipper.
Mark Carney’s finally released budget is the perfect illustration of that.
The budget is a 400 page monument to deficit delusion that raises spending to $644.4 billion over five years — including $141.4 billion in new spending — while revenues limp to $583.3 billion, yielding a record (non-pandemic) $78.3 billion shortfall, an increase of 116% from last year.
This isn’t policy; it’s plunder. Interest payments alone devour $55.6 billion this year, projected to hit $76.1 billion by 2029-30 — more than the entire defence budget and rising faster than healthcare transfers.
We can’t discount the possibility that this will lead to a downgrade of our credit rating, which will significantly increase the cost of borrowing and of doing business more generally.
Numbers this big start to feel very abstract. But think of it this way: that is your money they’re spending. Ottawa’s wealth is made up entirely of our tax dollars. We’ve entrusted that money to them with the understanding that they will use it responsibly. In the decade these Liberals have been in power, they have betrayed that trust.
They’ve pursued policies which have made life in Canada increasingly unaffordable. For example, at the time of writing it takes 141 Canadian pennies (up from 139 a few days ago) to buy one U.S. dollar, in which all of our commodities are priced. Well, that’s .25 cents per litre of gasoline. Imagine what that’s going to do to the price of heating, of groceries, of the various other commodities which we consume.
And this budget demonstrates that the Carney era will be more of the same.
Of course, the Elbows Up crowd are saying the opposite — that this shows how fiscally responsible Mark Carney is, unlike his predecessor. (Never mind that they also publicly supported everything that Trudeau did when he was in government.) They claim that Carney shows that he’s more open to oil and gas than Trudeau was.
Don’t believe it.
The oil and gas sector does get a half-hearted nod in the budget with, for instance, a conditional pathway to repeal the emissions cap. But those conditions are important. Repeal is tied to the effectiveness of Carney’s beloved industrial carbon tax. If that newly super-charged carbon tax, which continues to make our lives more expensive, leads to government-set emissions reductions benchmarks being met, then Ottawa might — might — scrap the emissions.
Meanwhile, the budget doubles down on the Trudeau government’s methane emissions regulations. It merely loosens the provisions of the outrageous Bill C-59, an act which should have been scrapped in its entirety. And it leaves in place the Trudeaupian “green” super structure, which has resource sector investment, and any business that can manage it, fleeing to the U.S.
In these perilous times, with Canada teetering on the brink of recession, a responsible government would be cutting spending and getting out of the way of our most productive sectors, especially oil and gas — the backbone of our economy.
It would be repealing the BC tanker ban and Bill C-69, the “no more pipelines act,” so that our natural resources could better generate revenue on the international market and bring down energy rates at home.
It would quit wasting millions on Electric Vehicle charging stations; mandating that all Canadians buy EVs, even with their elevated cost; and pressuring automakers to manufacture Electric Vehicles, regardless of demand, and even as they keep closing up shop and heading south.
But in this budget the Liberals are going the opposite direction. Spend more. Tax more. Leave the basic Net-Zero framework in place. Rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.
They’re gambling tomorrow’s prosperity on yesterday’s green dogma, And every grocery run, every gas fill-up, every mortgage payment will serve as a daily reminder that we are the ones footing the bill.
Once upon a time, the Liberals knew better. We made the hard decisions and got the country back on its feet. Nowadays, not so much.
If you only listened to the mainstream media, you would think Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax is long gone. But the Liberal government’s latest budget actually doubled down on the industrial carbon tax.
While the consumer carbon tax may be paused, the industrial carbon tax punishes industry for “emitting” pollution. It’s only a matter of time before companies either pass the cost of the carbon tax to consumers or move to a country without a carbon tax.
