I am often annoyed that I canniot say anything when I watch QP and hear soo many asinine questions and answers, so I am selecting a few of the ones that annoy me most And why.
QP Nove and Dec 2023
28th Nov
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau (Prime Minister, Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, it is becoming a bit hard to believe what the opposition leader is saying, because instead of speeding up passage of Bill C‑56 to help Canadians by increasing competition in the grocery sector and others, he has stalled and found ways to slow down the passage of this bill, which is there to help Canadians.
We will continue to be there to help Canadians by investing in the economy and in support for them and by staying on a responsible financial path.
Clearly this puppet is not aware enough to know that if you increase the costs to grow, manufacture, transport and get things to stores the eventual costs to consumers will go up.
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau (Prime Minister, Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, if the Leader of the Opposition actually cared about Canadians being able to afford their food, the Conservatives would not have dragged their heels on the passage of Bill C-56, which would increase competition in the grocery sector.
Indeed, there are a lot of factors that deliver higher food prices not just for Canadians but for people around the world. One of the key ones is Russia’s continued illegal invasion of Ukraine. On this side of the House, we can affirm clearly that we will stand with Ukraine with everything necessary for as long as necessary. As we saw last week, no Conservative politician can say the same in the House.
As a PM who clearly does not care one whit for Canadians this is a great “out of the side of the mouth” statement. As a person who obviously prefers to support his Nazi buddy in Ukraine (as he has since 2015 with money, troops, military equipment and cash) rather than Canadians he is not a man to be respected. To also claim that Russia illegally invaded Ukraine is pathetic, not to mention irrational, as he was responsible for helping to kill the people of the Donbas which bought this event on.
Mr. Yves-François Blanchet (Beloeil—Chambly, BQ):
Mr. Speaker, gunfire has been heard in Montreal over the past few days. Windows have been broken, and graffiti has been directed specifically against the Jewish community. There are fears that these actions were in some way encouraged by an exception in the Criminal Code that allows hate speech and the incitement of violence.
In light of recent events, would the Prime Minister agree to remove the religious exemption from the Criminal Code?
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau (Prime Minister, Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, I completely agree with my hon. colleague that the rise in Islamophobia and anti-Semitism in Canada is alarming. The rise in acts of hatred is even more unacceptable. I strongly condemn the attack on the Jewish Community Council. We condemn all violence.
We will be looking at my hon. colleague’s bill to see whether it can help combat hate and incitement of ….
Dividing Canadians into opposing groups (vaxxed and unvaxxed) combined with hate speech against 5hoise who do not support his personal trust fund profit, and then complete surrender of human rights to the Zionist state of Israel for fear of antisemitism whilst blasting the Palestinians is typical of this puppet and does not reflect the thinking of Canadians who are, I believe, appalled by what is happening in both Gaza and the West Bank. Besides which the Canadian Criminal code has no meaning for this PM.
Mr. Speaker, let us keep talking about respect for democracy in the House of Commons. Unelected Conservative senators are blocking the passage of an important gun control bill that passed the House. If our friends across the aisle want to do something for democracy, they should ask the Conservative senators in their caucus to pass Bill C‑21, which was passed by the House of Commons, to protect Canadians from illegal firearms in Canada.
Come on Dominic you know very well that democracy has been dead in Canada for decades, even more so since 2015, so stop trying to deceive everyone. This current government is ruled by the WEF and WHO not Canadians and neither the WEF or WHO make any pretense to be democratic.
Ms. Jenny Kwan (Vancouver East, NDP):
Mr. Speaker, people with full-time jobs are sleeping in their cars, yet the Liberals are delaying funding for public housing until 2025. Experts are saying that investing in community housing is not only socially responsible but economically sound. Deloitte just released a report that says increasing the community housing stock could boost GDP by up to $136 billion. While the corporate-controlled Conservative leader is off demonizing community housing, the Bank of Canada says it is anti-inflationary.
Will the Liberals stop delaying housing investments in the fall economic statement to get affordable housing built now?
Hon. Sean Fraser (Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities, Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for joining me this morning to discuss the need to build more affordable housing with community housing providers, who are in Ottawa today.
With respect, the crisis we are dealing with nationally is a result of 30 years of failure to invest in affordable housing. We changed that with the adoption of the national housing strategy in 2017 and continue to advance measures today. The fall economic statement included a recapitalization of our affordable housing programs to the tune of $1 billion and an additional $300 million that will flow early in the new year, just weeks from now.
Talk , talk, talk, intentions, promising money but not providing it is what this government is soo good at, yet the number of homeless sleeping under bridges, in tents in parks or even in their cars is increasing every day and still no housing for them. Yet there is always money for the Ukrainian Nazis !
Mrs. Shannon Stubbs (Lakeland, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, I am sure we all look forward to see what those high-carbon hypocrites come up with.
After eight years, it is clear that the Prime Minister is not worth the cost. The Hunger Report has said that food bank usage has gone up for seven years in a row.
The NDP and Liberals’ carbon tax has hiked food prices and forced Canadians to skip meals or cut the basics. Common-sense Conservatives will axe the tax for all, for good. However, a quick fix is Conservative Bill C-234, which would cut it from farm fuels.
Will the Prime Minister stop interfering with the senators and let them pass it so farmers can afford to feed Canadians and so Canadians can afford to eat?
Hon. Chrystia Freeland (Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, the member of Parliament for Lakeland has the privilege of representing the amazing town of Vegreville. That town is a source of pride for all Ukrainian Canadians, especially from the Prairies, for the amazing pysanka that the people there put up, pride in their heritage.
Is she ashamed that her party has voted against Ukraine? I hope she is because she should be.
It is possible for someone to be more obtuse than the PM and here she is waving her hands to increase her believability! What has Vegreville and its egg got to do with the cost of everything? OH yes, all the money that should be spent on Canadians is going to her Nazis friends in Ukraine.
Hon. Chrystia Freeland (Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, I am actually extremely confident that Ukrainian Canadians across our amazing country are in favour of our free trade deal. I am confident because the Ukrainian Canadian Congress said so. I am confident because President Zelenskyy wants that deal.
A great way to bring down prices of food and fuel for the whole world is by stopping Vladimir Putin. I just do not understand why those Conservatives are standing against Ukraine.
Oh no here we go again with this love for Zelensky and hatred for Putin. Blame Russia for the cost of food in Canada? Can you spell stupid?
Hon. Jenna Sudds (Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, we will continue to invest in social security programs like the old age security and Canada pension plan, and in families through the Canada child benefit and the $10-a-day child care program. These are programs which the Conservatives continue to vote against. They totally lack empathy or understanding of the struggle of Canadians.
On this side of the House, we will continue to govern with the needs of Canadians at the heart of everything we do.
Yet another cool aid drinker speaks. Does she really believe that the liberal puppets have Canadian peoples’ interests in mind or did she check her thinking at the door to the chamber of ill repute
Ms. Lena Metlege Diab (Halifax West, Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, our government continues to support Canadians during this ongoing period of inflation, where some prices remain too high.
Yesterday, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change talked about some new measures that are set out in the fall economic statement that will help more Canadians put a roof over their heads, while helping them reduce their home energy costs.
Can the minister tell the House about these important measures?
Hon. Steven Guilbeault (Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question.
Our government is tackling affordability issues and environmental issues at the same time. We are scaling up affordable housing in Canada by making it easier to access mortgage relief. We are offering Canadian families incentives to help them save thousands every year on their energy bills, and we are helping them make the switch to electric heat pumps with an investment of $500 million over four years.
On this side of the House, we are delivering results for Canadians on affordability and on the environment.
Oh really? The environment is the condition of the land, lakes, rivers and clean air in Canada and all this minister wants to do is remove CO2 from the air (zero emissions) so that plants will die for lack of it, and as a result will produce no oxygen (or food) and we, along with all air breathing species, will die too. Very insightful and insane. By the way who is paying for those heat pumps?
