dailymail.co.uk: Canada's foreign affairs minister Melanie Joly says she's keeping an eye on US in case it becomes 'authoritarian regime' after 2024 election (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12449007/Canadian-lawmaker-game-plan-DICTATORSHIP-election.html)
26 August 2023
'We are certainly working on scenarios,' Joly told a Montreal radio station in French during an interview this week.
'In general, there is our game plan, precisely to be able to manage what could be a rather difficult situation...
'The other aspect of the question is more about knowing how we as a democracy are able to thwart the growth of the far-right in our country, because it’s happening in the United States, it’s happening in Europe,' she said.
Joly added: 'So one can’t be naïve here, Patrick; it’s happening right now with us, there is, we know that there is certainly a radicalization of the [Canadian] Conservative Party.' ...
In February 2022, she appeared to blame American conservatives for supporting truckers protesting against vaccine mandates during the Freedom Conoy.
'My biggest concern as the foreign minister at this point is the foreign interference that is happening in the convoy we're seeing in Canada right now,' she said.
'The disinformation campaign, where it comes from. The financing of it, where it comes from.'
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has previously denounced the rise of authoritarianism around the world.
'If we don’t step up, other forces will step in. As like-minded democracies, as major economies, we need to work together to meet this moment,' Trudeau said in a speech earlier this year.
Canada's national socialist Liberal Party Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly was describing a new “second front” earlier in the month. I believe it was in Canadian Parliament, saw this news with video of her posted in a news group feed a few weeks back.
Unable to get decent search result reporting her "second front" statement for this post and all I was able to find reporting on this statement from her was a picture caption from a Hill Times subscription article. Tried Yandex, figuring the Russians would not want also to bury this, but unable to search by date, and anyway Yandex still suffers similar degradation of western search engines in now longer prioritizing as much the actual words one uses in a search.

oxfordreference.com: Second Front (https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110810105819343)
The opening of hostilities by US and UK forces on the mainland of Europe in World War II, when the Allies returned to confront the Germans after the fall of France. The First Front (a term not used) was that on which the Soviet Union fought the Axis Powers in the east. From 1941 the Soviet government pressed for an early opening of the Second Front as a means of relieving heavy German pressure

It became clear that the blitzkrieg against Russia had failed. Moscow, London, and Washington were negotiating until May, which resulted in the USSR’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Vyacheslav Molotov traveling to England and the United States, where treaties were signed to form an alliance in the war against Nazi Germany and its allies in Europe.
Molotov needed guarantees of a second front, which he was able to obtain from Roosevelt.

simonstlaurent.ca:The Budget Will Balance Itself - The Partial Quote (https://www.simonstlaurent.ca/2019/10/budget-will-balance-itself-partial-quote.html)
In fact, Mr Trudeau was speaking about the Stephen Harper government's inability to present a strategy to stimulate economic growth. Economists disagree with one another to various degrees on how much such growth leads down the line to less government expenditures. The theory is that increased government revenues through taxation rolls ultimately to a decreased demand for outlays to departments such as employment insurance and welfare. Part of the PM's platform was to support infrastructure building, which hopefully would get the ball rolling and help lead to the above.
The original quote:
"The commitment needs to be a commitment to grow the economy and the budget will balance itself."
In its proper context the idea doesn't sound so harebrained.

The Average Canadian Family Paid More in 2021 on Taxes Than it Did on Housing, Food and Clothing Combined
As noted in our study published by the Fraser Institute, Taxes versus the Necessities of Life: The Canadian Consumer Tax Index, 2022 edition,last year the average Canadian family (including single Canadians) earned $99,030 and paid $42,547 in total taxes—that’s 43.0 percent of our income going to taxes.
For context, housing costs (including rent and mortgage payments) for the average Canadian family totaled $20,923 or 21.1 percent of its income. So the average family spends more than double the amount on taxes that it does on housing. Even if we add expenses for food and clothing on top of housing costs, the average family spent significantly less on those three basic necessities last year (35.7 percent of its income) than it paid in taxes.
But the tax bill for families has not always exceeded the amount spent on basic necessities. In 1961, the average Canadian family spent 56.5 percent of its total income on shelter, food, and clothing compared to 33.5 percent on taxes. On an inflation-adjusted basis, the total tax bill for families has increased by 181.6 percent over 60 years. In nominal terms, since 1961 the tax bill has increased by 2,440 percent, dwarfing increases in annual housing costs (1,751 percent), food (802 percent) and clothing (790 percent).
Another factor to consider is the recent budget deficits run by Canadian governments. Today’s deficit spending means higher taxes tomorrow...
Government Sector Accounts for More Than 86% of New Jobs in Canada Since Pandemic Began
Our study, Comparing Government and Private Sector Job Growth in the COVID-19 Era, looks at the numbers. From February 2020 to July 2022, the Canadian economy has produced a net increase of 422,900 jobs, which has been adequate to keep pace with population growth so today’s employment rate is approximately the same as it was pre-pandemic.
Again, this may seem like good news—at first glance. But the government sector created 366,800 of those 422,900 new jobs. The private sector (including self-employment) is responsible for just 56,100 net new jobs. This means the government sector, which represents roughly one-fifth of jobs in the economy, has created 86.7 percent of new jobs since the pandemic began.
Growth rates in both sectors tell a similar tale. Since February 2020, government employment has increased by 9.4 percent compared to just 0.4 percent for the private sector. The government sector is adding jobs quickly while job creation in the rest of the economy is sputtering.
The private sector’s performance looks bleaker when you consider that Canada’s adult population is growing yet private-sector employment has not kept up. In fact, the private-sector employment rate in July 2022 is lower than it was in February 2020, at the dawn of the pandemic in Canada and the initial COVID recession.
Things look even worse when you zoom in further on the private-sector labour force data and separate self-employment from other types of private-sector jobs. Specifically, self-employment alone has fallen by 7.4 percent since February 2020, which represents a net loss of 214,400 self-employed individuals, enough to almost entirely wipe out the private sector’s non-self-employment net job gains. Given that self-employment has historically been an important measure of entrepreneurship, these data raise concerns about the future of new business...
In addition to these expected budget shortfalls, an independent analysis from the Finances of the Nation project show that the fiscal situations for provincial governments across the country are unsustainable.
ctvnews.ca: Less than a quarter of Canadians are happy with how the government spends money: Ipsos survey (https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/less-than-a-quarter-of-canadians-are-happy-with-how-the-government-spends-money-ipsos-survey-1.6488407)
[A sample of 1,020 Canadian residents aged 18 years and over was interviewed between the June 29th and July 3rd, 2023.]
More than half of Canadians (55 per cent) said the government spends too much money, while 27 per cent think it is an acceptable level, according to the poll. Only nine per cent of Canadians said government spending is too low, while another nine per cent said they don't know or preferred not to answer.
The majority of those surveyed (67 per cent) think they pay too much money in income tax, while one per cent think they don’t pay enough. According to Ipsos, 65 per cent of men and 70 per cent of women believe the amount they pay in income tax is too high. Younger Canadians (aged 18 to 34) are more likely to think taxes are too high (72 per cent) compared to Canadians aged 55 and older (63 per cent).
The poll also found most people (63 per cent) are unhappy with the accountability and transparency of the government's spending practices—31 per cent said they were satisfied with them.
ca.investing.com: Canada's Housing Crisis: A Consequence of Aggressive Immigration Policy (https://ca.investing.com/news/economy/canadas-housing-crisis-a-consequence-of-aggressive-immigration-policy-2981807)
May 03, 2023
The Trudeau government has taken a perplexing approach to tackling the ongoing housing affordability crisis in Canada. By implementing the most aggressive pro-immigration policy in history, they have intensified the demand-supply imbalance within the country. Consequently, population growth continues to soar, with Canada experiencing its highest ever annual growth rate at 2.7 per cent – an increase of more than a million people – last year.
As per David Rosenberg of Rosenberg Research, this strategy is nothing short of bewildering.
Rosenberg notes that the crux of the issue lies in Canada's inadequate supply, particularly for residential real estate, which cannot accommodate such immigration-driven population growth without further straining an already-overburdened housing market. The ratio of population to housing stock now stands at 40 per cent above historical norms, as does homeowner affordability ratio.
He adds that the Bank of Canada’s (BoC) rate hikes over the past year would have succeeded in lowering real estate prices to more reasonable levels; however, this was thwarted by federal government’s unyielding immigration stance that maintained housing inflation intact. As a result, aspiring Canadian homeowners continue grappling with elevated prices and central bank-induced rates shock.
globalnews.ca: Poll finds 2023 Poilievre ads spur same voter response as 2015 Trudeau ad (https://globalnews.ca/news/10184046/poll-polievre-political-ads-2023/)s
December 21, 2023
Just ahead of the 2015 election, the Liberal Party of Canada released a series of ads featuring its leader, Justin Trudeau, that seemed to seal the deal with much of the electorate and help Trudeau and the Liberals push out a tired and increasingly unpopular Conservative government.
Fast forward eight years, and the Conservative Party of Canada has run a series of ads featuring its leader, Pierre Poilievre, that appear to have had the same effect and may help seal the deal with an electorate that appears — at least right now — ready to sweep out a tired and increasingly unpopular government.
“What we’re seeing with Poilievre is that Poilievre is doing in 2023 what Trudeau did in 2015. He’s now grabbing the ‘hope agenda,'” said Greg Lyle of polling firm Innovative Research. “He’s becoming the party of hope. And Trudeau is now become the party of the status quo.”
Lyle’s firm tested those 2015 Liberal ads using a panel of 1,000 Canadians. His questionnaire at the time measured the emotional response those ads generated.
“The 2015 Trudeau ads were among the best we’ve ever tested,” Lyle said.
Innovative Research repeated that 2015 questionnaire with an online panel of 2,890 Canadians from Nov. 15 to Dec. 5 to test the emotional response to the recent series of Conservative television ads, some of which presented Poilievre in a softer light talking about his family and his background while others featured Poilievre speaking directly to camera about affordability and housing...
“Often, you’ll get an ad that works really well with your base that actually motivates your opponents as well. And so what you would be watching for is people saying, ‘I feel angrier after seeing these ads,'” Lyle said.
But that did not happen with this or the other Conservative ads, a phenomena Lyle saw when he tested those 2015 Liberal ads.
“What we saw in 2015 is that the Liberals did a remarkable job of becoming the party of hope.”
Trudeau is facing continued questions about his political future, and whether he will step down before the next federal election.
Polling done by Ipsos exclusively for Global News found earlier in December that 69 per cent of Canadians feel Trudeau should resign as Liberal leader and prime minister.
