The Liberals Finally Show Up to Work in 2025

Canadians Demand Action, Not More Empty Promises

The National Citizens Coalition (NCC) today calls out the Liberal government for their belated return to the House of Commons in 2025, after months of dodging accountability while Canadians grapple with skyrocketing costs, unaffordable housing, crime and chaos, and the fallout of a decade of failed Liberal policies.

While the Liberals dust off their seats, millions of Canadians have been struggling to pay for groceries, keep a roof over their heads, or envision a future where hard work still pays off. The NCC demands the government stop hiding behind empty rhetoric and deliver meaningful, common-sense actions to address the crises they’ve exacerbated.

“After years of empty gestures, empty rhetoric, and empty promises, showing up to Parliament in 2025 isn’t an achievement – it’s the bare minimum. Canadians are drowning in high taxes, inflation, and a housing crisis, and they deserve real solutions, not more speeches,” says NCC Director Alexander Brown.

The NCC calls on the Liberal government to immediately prioritize:

Immediate tax relief to put money back in the pockets of hardworking Canadians, including axing the HIDDEN CARBON TAX on our Great Canadian businesses.

Concrete steps to slash immigration back to responsible, sustainable norms; including a crackdown on fraudulent ‘diploma mills,’ and the abolishment of the ‘Temporary Foreign Worker’ program, to protect Canadian jobs, and the jobs of our youth.

Meaningful, immediate efforts to increase housing supply, by slashing red tape and bureaucratic roadblocks that drive up development costs.

An end to wasteful spending on pet projects and corporate handouts that do nothing for struggling families.

Steps toward meaningful criminal justice reform; including an end to Liberal catch-and-release bail for repeat violent offenders.

A plan to restore economic opportunity, so young Canadians can afford homes and build a future without fleeing the country.

And it’s time to Kill Bill C-69 — and Build Pipelines.

Working Canadians have heard enough platitudes – it’s time for results. The government must act decisively to fix the mess they’ve created or step aside for those who will. With just a few short weeks before the Liberals abscond for another vacation, IMMEDIATE ACTION is required to match the urgency of the moment, and to atone for the insult of the Liberals’ cynical, dishonest, “elbows up” campaign that left millions of young, working-age Canadians without hope for the future.

About the National Citizens Coalition:

Founded in 1967, the National Citizens Coalition is a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for lower taxes, less government waste, and greater individual freedom. We stand for common-sense policies that once again put Canadians first.

Canada Pension Plan becomes latest institution to drop carbon ‘net zero’ target

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Anthony Murdoch

Changes to the law require companies to more rigorously prove their environmental claims.

The investment group in charge of Canada’s governmental pension plan has ditched its “net zero” mandate, joining a growing list of major institutions doing the same.

According to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Investments’ latest annual report, the entity is no longer committed to carbon “net-zero” by 2050. The CPP’s ditching of the target comes after a number of major institutions, including the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD), Bank of Montreal (BMO), National Bank of Canada, and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), all made similar moves in recent months.

While ditching the net-zero effort, chief executive of CPP Investments John Graham maintained that it is still “really important to incorporate climate and incorporate sustainability” in its long-term investment portfolio.

The dropping of the “climate” target comes as recent changes to Canada’s Competition Act now mandate that companies prove any environmental claims they make, with Graham insinuating these changes were a factor in the decision.

“Recent legal developments in Canada have introduced, kind of, new considerations around how net-zero commitments are interpreted, so that’s caused us to change a little bit how we talk about it, but nothing’s changed on what we’re actually doing.”

Over the past decade, left-wing activists have used “net zero” and “environmental, social & governance” (ESG) standards to encourage major Canadian and U.S. corporations to take particular stands on political and cultural issues, notably in promotion of homosexuality, transgenderism, race relations, the environment, and abortion.

Outside of Canada, many major corporations have announced they are walking back DEI and other related policies. Some of the most notable include Lowe’sJack Daniel’s, and Harley Davidson. Other companies such as DisneyTarget, and Bud Light have faced negative sales due to consumers fighting back and refusing to patronize the businesses.

Since taking power in 2015, the Liberal government, first under Justin Trudeau and now under Mark Carney, has continued to push a radical environmental agenda in line with those promoted by the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” and the United Nations’ “Sustainable Development Goals.” Part of this push includes the promotion of so called net-zero energy by as early as 2035.

Trump furious over Putin’s Kyiv strikes: Sanctions “absolutely” possible

Published on

MXM logo MxM News

Quick Hit:

President Donald Trump condemned Russia’s largest aerial assault on Ukraine’s capital, calling Putin “crazy” and warning sanctions are “absolutely” on the table if the bloodshed continues.

Key Details:

  • Trump blasted Putin for launching nearly 300 drones and 69 missiles into Kyiv, killing at least 12.
  • Speaking in New Jersey, Trump said he’s “not happy” with Putin and accused him of “killing a lot of people.”
  • On Truth Social, Trump said the war “would never have started” if he were president and slammed both Zelenskyy and Biden for their roles.

Diving Deeper:

President Donald Trump issued some of his harshest criticism yet of Russian President Vladimir Putin following a devastating barrage of missile and drone attacks on Kyiv that left at least 12 civilians dead and dozens more wounded. The assault, the largest of the war in terms of aerial firepower, saw 298 drones and 69 missiles launched by Russia.

Speaking to journalists at Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey on Sunday, Trump did not hold back.

“I’m not happy with what Putin is doing,” he said. “He’s killing a lot of people, and I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin. I’ve known him a long time, always gotten along with him, but he’s sending rockets into cities and killing people, and I don’t like it at all.”

The strikes hit Ukraine’s capital and other cities just as tenuous negotiations for a ceasefire were underway. Trump noted the timing, saying, “We’re in the middle of talking, and he’s shooting rockets into Kyiv and other cities.”

Later on Truth Social, Trump doubled down, calling Putin “absolutely CRAZY!” and asserting, “I’ve always said that [Putin] wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!”

But Trump didn’t spare Ukraine’s president either. “Likewise, President Zelenskyy is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does. Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don’t like it, and it better stop,” Trump wrote.

“This is a war that would never have started if I were President,” he added, laying blame squarely on “Zelenskyy, Putin, and Biden,” and insisting he’s only stepping in to try to extinguish “the big and ugly fires” caused by their “gross incompetence.”

Despite hesitation from Biden administration officials—particularly Secretary of State Marco Rubio—about levying sanctions that could disrupt ongoing talks, Trump made it clear where he stands: he would “absolutely” consider new sanctions if Putin’s attacks continue.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in a post on Telegram, urged the international community to respond with tougher action. “The silence of America, the silence of others in the world only encourages Putin,” he wrote, saying every new Russian strike is “reason enough for new sanctions.”
