Canadian health minister implies summer road trips will make ‘the planet burn’ in unhinged rant
From LifeSiteNews
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre responded to Mark Holland’s outburst by saying, ‘This. Man. Is. Wacko.’
Canadian Health Minister Mark Holland claims that recent comments he made in the House of Commons about car road trips that were blasted by the Conservative Party as “wacko” were taken out of context.
Last Thursday, Holland chose to mock Conservative Party MPs who have been calling for a summer pause in the carbon and federal fuel tax that amounts to 35 cents per litre.
Conservative MP Rachael Thomas had observed that many Canadians “just simply look forward to a small summer vacation, a road trip. Perhaps it’s normally a time when they can go and camp in the mountains or go to a national park or visit loved ones.”
In reply, Holland went on a nonsensical unhinged rant, saying “Good news, kids! You can take a summer of fun time vacation where you’re locked in a car for 10 consecutive days nonstop with no bathroom breaks, and the conservatives have a plan for you to have that summertime fun.”
“And the cost? Give up the future of the planet. Don’t worry about climate change! Don’t worry about taking action on the planet! Enjoy your 10 hours in the car and let the planet burn.”
As a result of Holland’s rant, one Conservative MP shouted in the House, “Get a life jacket on! The Titanic is sinking!” he said in reference to the Liberal Party under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and its tanking in the polls.
Thomas, unfazed by Holland’s words, called out the Liberals and Trudeau for being “out of touch” with the reality that costs have shot up for Canadian families in the past eight years.
“While this out-of-touch Prime Minister might be able to take a $230,000 taxpayer-funded vacation to some fancy islands, that’s not an option for most Canadians,” she said.
“Most Canadians just simply want to be able to get in a car and drive a few kilometres to enjoy a national park or the mountains for the day. But that’s even out of reach for so many of them.”
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said about Holland’s outburst, “This. Man. Is. Wacko.”
As for Thomas, she noted that a cut in the fuel/carbon tax for the summer would “make life affordable for Canadians and allow them to enjoy their summer.”
“Will the Prime Minister vote with us so Canadians can afford a simple road trip, or will he force them to stay home while he enjoys his luxury vacation?” she asked.
On Monday, Holland claimed, while speaking to reporters, that his rant on Thursday was taken out of context.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, Trudeau’s carbon tax is costing Canadians hundreds of dollars annually, as government rebates are not enough to compensate for high fuel costs.
The Conservatives noted that despite warnings not to do so Trudeau added $61 billion in extra spending to his 2024 budget.
The Conservative Party took note of the carbon tax, which went up 23 percent in April, pointing out that Canadians “desperately need relief, but Justin Trudeau is no longer listening.”
Under Trudeau, due to excessive COVID money printing, inflation has skyrocketed.
A report from September 5, 2023, by Statistics Canada shows food prices are rising faster than headline inflation at a rate of between 10 percent and 18 percent per year.

Canadian veteran says she knows at least 20 service members who were offered euthanasia
From LifeSiteNews
Canadian Armed Forces veteran Kelsi Sheren told members of the House of Commons that he has proof of veterans being offered assisted suicide.
Canada’s liberal euthanasia laws have made the practice so commonplace that a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) veteran has said she knows and has “proof” that no less than 20 of her colleagues were offered unsolicited state-sponsored euthanasia.
Kelsi Sheren, who is a CAF veteran, recently told MPs in the House of Commons veterans affairs committee that “over 20 veterans have confirmed being offered MAID.”
“I have the proof, and I have proof of more,” Sheren told the committee during an October 28 meeting.
Conservative MP Blake Richards asked Sheren if she was willing to provide them with evidence to affirm her allegations.
Sheren noted how the 20 veterans have given written testimonies, or actual audio recordings, of when they were offered what in Canada is known as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).
“We also have other individuals who are too afraid to come forward because Veterans Affairs has threatened their benefits,” she told MPs, adding that some other veterans were even offered non-disclosure agreements along with “payouts if they were to take it.”
Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) has told the media its “employees have no role or mandate to recommend or raise (MAid). ”
As reported by LifeSiteNews, this is not the first time reports of CAF veterans saying they were offered MAiD.
Indeed, as reported by LifeSiteNews, it was revealed last year that the federal department in charge of helping Canadian veterans appears to have purposefully prevented the existence of a paper after scandalous reports surfaced alleging that caseworkers had recommended euthanasia to suffering service members.
LifeSiteNews recently published a report noting how a Canadian combat veteran and artillery gunner revealed, while speaking on a podcast with Dr. Jordan Peterson, that the drugs used in MAiD essentially waterboard a person to death. Assisted suicide was legalized by the Liberal government of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2016.
A new EPC report has revealed that Canada has euthanized 90,000 people since 2016.
As reported by LifeSiteNews last week, a Conservative MP’s private member’s bill that, if passed, would ban euthanasia for people with mental illness received the full support of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC).

Conservative MP Kelly Block has introduced Bill C-255 to amend the Criminal Code with minimum penalties for vandalizing religious property amid hundreds of church burnings.
Conservatives are working to increase penalties for mischief directed at places of worship after hundreds of churches have been burned to the ground.
On November 6, Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Kelly Block introduced her Private Members Bill C-255, which would increase penalties for criminals convicted of mischief directed at places of worship.
“Over the past 10 years, there has been an alarming rise in incidents of mischief committed against religious property of in Canada. Churches, synagogues, mosques, and other places of worship continue to be vandalized,” Block told Parliament.
The bill seeks to amend the Canadian Criminal Code by adding penalties for anyone “who commits mischief in relation to a building or structure, or part of a building or structure, that is primarily used for religious worship.”
According to the proposed legislation, for a first offense, an offender must compensate the property owner in an amount of not less than $1,000. For a second offense, the offender must compensate the property owner in an amount of not less than $1,000 and serve imprisonment for not less than 14 days.
For each subsequent offense, the offender must compensate the property owner in an amount of not less than $1,000 and serve imprisonment for not less than 30 days. If the offense is prosecuted by indictment, the offender is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years. If the offense is punishable on summary conviction, the offender is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than two years less a day.
Campaign Life Coalition’s Pete Baklinski celebrated the legislation on X, writing, ” Hundreds of Canadian churches have burned to the ground in the past decade. Carney Liberals don’t seem to care.”
“That’s why it was nice to see Conservative MP @KellyBlockmp introduce a bill today (Bill C-255) to stiffen penalties for vandals who attack churches,” he continued. “About time!”

At the same time as Conservative MPs work to punish criminals who target churches, Liberals have repeatedly shut down motions to condemn the violence.
As LifeSiteNews reported last month, Liberal MP John-Paul Danko dismissed attacks on churches in Canada as “conspiracy theories” despite two churches being targeted in his own riding of Hamilton.
Hate-motivated attacks against Christians are on the rise in Canada. In 2021 and 2022, the mainstream media ran with inflammatory and dubious claims that hundreds of children were buried and disregarded by Catholic priests and nuns who ran some Canadian residential schools. The reality is, after four years, there have been no mass graves discovered at residential schools.
Regardless of this, over 120 churches, most of them Catholic, many of them on indigenous lands that serve the local population, have been burned to the ground, vandalized, or defiled in Canada.
The attacks are ongoing. Earlier in October, an Alberta Christian church was burned to the ground.
