Lumber for the far East

Corey Hogan MP for Calgary Confederation

Oral Questions 5th December 2025

From Hansard,

In response to a question about the Forestry sector’s chronic Liberal induced problems:

Corey Hogan (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Lib.):  

    Mr. Speaker, obviously, the unjustified trade war that the United States has brought on softwood lumber is unacceptable. We are working hard to resolve it. Today, the United States Chamber of Commerce called on the Trump administration to drop tariffs on lumber. We are seeing that the pressures are beginning to build.

    We will continue to work at all levels to resolve this, and we will continue to provide supports. We welcome suggestions from members opposite on what supports to bring.

Well, since you asked for it, here is a suggestion for you which should really appeal to the banker.

There has been devastation in South East Asia from floods and slides resulting in homes by the thousands being demolished.

We have vast amounts of lumber which the USA ​apparently does not want, so we could send it all to those ​affected countries and allow their people to rebuild with good strong Canadian lumber.

Of course we cannot just donate that lumber because there is no money for it, but if we gave a huge contract to Brookfield to ship that lumber then we would be helping the banker to fill his pocket book, and it could come from the budget for the homes that will not be built in Canada for years yet because the administration organisations do not even have office space yet.

There is also the side effect that maybe we would be looked at with favour as a potential trade partner, instead of an arrogant bunch of political money grabbers.

That and of course saw mill workers, lumberjacks and truckers would still have a job.

If you can catch the banker in between his flights overseas for a rugby match or a photo op please submit it to him.

ps: all the supports your government provides are at the further expense of taxpayers’ money and there is a limit to that.

Re: The generational Budget of 2025

5th November 2025

Re: The generational Budget of 2025

I do not have a telephone sized book (in either size or format) on this overdue budget and therefore have to base my comments on what was shouted out in the Canadian House of Ill Repute yesterday.

When a comment is repeated over and over again it is like a plea for the unbelievable to be believed. “We believe in Canada” was repeated 22 times in the course of this presentation and each time it grated on me a bit more as government members stood and clapped in vapid adoration of what is a complete falsehood. The Drama Queen and the Banker had/have only interest in making money for themselves and have no such belief in Canada or Canadians.

Again, and again the use of the wording “we will” or “we are going to” was used as it has for a decade now, specially though since the last election and is as fake as ever. Why are we still waiting for things to be done that could have been started years ago and maybe even completed by now?

Mention was made about doing things not done in such a scale since 1945 and I have to remind the two responsible for this boast that in 1945 we had the benefit of our own publicly owned Bank of Canada to finance what was done back then and for some 30 years thereafter. Since 1974 our bank has been virtually sidelined by the actions of the then governor Gerald Bouey who signed us into the grips of the Bank of International Settlements through Basel 1, 2 and 3 without consulting the actual owners of the Bank of Canada. Today our Bank of Canada is virtually emasculated into simply being an inflation watchdog thanks largely to our current PM.

How can a new deficit of $80 billion be acceptable to any monetarily aware person? The national debt clock show Canada’s debt at 1310 today 5th November 2025 a massive $2.75 trillion and rising fast.

A bit larger than that from 1945: $11.3 billion: This figure is cited as the net debt at the end of the war in 1945, according to the Fraser Institute, and this figure includes all the costs incurred in WW2. and proves that we have as a country mortgaged our future thanks to the current politicians.

Which brings me to this: Investments are speculations and when borrowed money is used to make those investments there should be some sort of plan to pay for that money. We are being led (if that is the right word) by a self-proclaimed investment banker who would not grant loans based on what was offered on Tuesday. No matter what you want to call them these investments are nothing more than expenses as there is absolutely no suggestion of financial returns which any normal person would expect from an investment.

I did not hear one word of how any of these expansive expenses would be paid for. Not one!!! There might have been one in the PDF version of the book and if so please advise me how I am expected to help pay for this largesse.

What really made me concerned is when I realised that my great grandchildren will not have the opportunity to live the lives I wanted to give them when I came to Canada in 1967. At my young age of 85 I still have to work part time to put food on my table and I fear that they will have to learn the art of dumpster diving to fed themselves.

As long as we have wealthy self-serving people pretending to work for Canada we will never get back to where we should be, and I find that very depressing and sad. I do not have a vote as such in the House but my MP is smart enough to object to this budget for reasons very different from mine but I will accept it.

I neither approve of or condone this budget as being good for Canadians as apposed to greatly assisting international bankers and investors.

PS: Why am I expected to pay for the fear shown over the myth of man-made climate change. I come from a long line of botanists who taught me the value of CO2 to the survival of the planet and how we are too close to the dangerously low proportion of CO2 in our atmosphere.

Canadian Minister of Finance

MP for Saint-Maurice – Champlain

Attendee at the WEF

9th October 2025

Minister,

I am hearing nonstop from you that there are now two ways that the Liberal Party of Canada, under the leadership of a has been banker and you, intend to spend the “way overburdened” Canadian taxpayers’ money.

The first way is the usual; the paying of an over bloated, and still growing almost daily, public service, with new branches being created to maybe someday do the work of those branches already in existence that has not been done for over a decade now.

The second way is by what you, and the banker, refer to as making “investments”.

Well now as your banker boss should be able to tell you an investment should provide a financial return within a stated time frame to be attractive enough to investors.  So, I suppose my question is what percentage of financial return will you be receiving into the Bank of Canada for these investments?  Since it is Canadian Taxpayers’ money you are “investing” we have every right to know and either approve of or disapprove of how you are gambling with our money.

As just one example the ArriveCan “investment” in Liberal Party friends netted us how much profit?

Long before your time and also that awkward time in the early part of this century (2008), the Bank of Canada financed just about everything the government did and returned to the finance minister the profits from those investments.  Now of course and largely due to the present PM the Bank of Canada is really nothing more than an inflation watchdog, adjusting interest rates to try and control that ever-rising inflation.  

However, the principle still remains that an investment by its very nature brings financial dividends to those who invest.   I trust that when you present the first budget for 18 months you will tell us what sort of financial profit you anticipate from these “investments” in language that is acceptable and believable not simply Liberal Party Guesswork and BS, and what you will do if that money is not returned to the Taxpayers through their Bank of Canada.

For over a decade now we have been going backwards as a country and I would really like my doubts at this government’s ability to actually do anything be proven wrong. 

FIFA Men’s World cup in Canada and the USA.

The Honourable Adam van Koeverden Secretary of State for Sports

MP for Burlington North – Milton West

26th August 2025

Re:2026

FIFA Men’s World cup in Canada and the USA.

I wrote to you on 12th August 2025 about the Davis cup match up with the genocidal state of Israel and heard nothing back and see no intention from you to act in any way.  You will not be anti-semantic but you will be realistic in wanting to play only against honourable opponents.

Your lack of any action indicates to me that you will do nothing if Israel manages to get into the select few countries which will wind up playing in Canada or the USA for the FIFA world cup next year.   You can at least make sure that they do not play in Canada against our national team and instead play in the USA where their genocide of Gaza is welcomed and condoned with military and logistic support.   OOOPs I forgot for a moment that we (the Canadian government, not the people) are also supplying them with ammunition and maybe even military personnel.  

However, that is the government’s choice not that of the Canadian people, and I am sure that Canadians would not like to see any team from Israel playing in Canada or against Canadian athletes.   

We are, unlike our government, not bound by the Zionist lobbies and IF you represent anyone in Canada at all you will take steps to enforce our sovereignty.  Sports teams from  genocidal countries should not be any more welcome that the leaders of such countries.

So far, I am waiting for you to uphold Canadian values rather than fear the consequences of standing up for Canadians.

Imagine if you were a Russian Athlete and knew that your country had come the aid of fellow Russian speakers whose lands had been invaded for 10 years by Nazis backed by the USA, and that as your soldiers won land back they were rebuilding what had been destroyed, roads, hospitals, schools, homes etc., and yet you are denied the ability to take part in competitions because you are facing down the USA and Canada .  Worst yet another country which is conducting genocide and has almost completely destroyed the Palestinian strip of Gaza, wages war with Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Yemen and yet is welcomed with open arms because the USA and Canada must approve of genocide as they help arm it.

I know if I were in that position I would refuse to take part in any competition in which either the USA or Canada were participants and my honour and self-respect would be intact.

Please make me approve of your actions for once.

“On the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the head of the Canadian Olympic Committee maintains there is no place for Russian and Belarusian athletes at next summer’s Olympic Games in Paris, but acknowledges the emerging reality that it may happen.”

The cause of this was of course the rescue operation conducted by Russia to assist the Russian speaking people of the Donbass who actually wanted to be Russians again and not to be killed by the Nazi battalions of the Ukrainian army sponsored by the USA, Canada and the rest of the subservient NATO which had been happening from 2014 until 2022.

Result – no Russian team at the Olympics – not only unfair to Russians but to the rest of the world’s athletes who were not competing against a full deck.

Tennis Canada, ITF, and the relevant Canadian governmental authorities need to cancel Team Canada’s match against Team Israel


Halifax will host a Davis Cup World Group I tie between Canada and Israel on Sept. 12-13, at the Halifax Scotiabank Centre.

An Israeli team is allowed to take part in a international tennis tournament in spite of their nation being responsible for genocide in Gaza, attacks against the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Iran which of course are all supported by Canada through continued armaments shipments to Israel.  The hypocrisy here is in full compliance with the useless, ineffectual, compromised, principle less and WEF owned Canadian Government with flapping elbows and no principles on view.

I would like to see all Canadian tennis players refuse to take part if Canada maintains its position of allowing the match to happen, even if it means forfeiting the match.  Regretfully this would result in all players losing whatever grants or support they are receiving from said government, which is of course terrified of being labelled anti semantic.   

As Secretary of State for Sports, and past athlete of some note, I ask you to put yourself in the position that our tennis players find themselves and make a decision based on what you would do.  I recommend that we refuse to take part against the Israeli tennis players and if you say that is unfair to the Israelis then consider how unfair Canada was to the Russian athletes in the Olympics.    Canadians will be watching how you handle this and so will the rest of the world

Oh no, that’s all we need.

World Court climate opinion turns up the legal heat on governments

“The International Court of Justice, also known as the World Court, last Wednesday laid out the duty of states to limit harm from greenhouse gases and to regulate private industry. 

It said failure to reduce emissions could be an internationally wrongful act and, found that treaties such as the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change should be considered legally binding.

                                     ****

What wonderful news for those who make money of the hoax of man-made climate change. Those who for some reason think that CO2 is going to burn up the planet well they can celebrate too.

But for me it is another sign that the law has turned into a gigantic ASS.  Just one hundred years ago the planet was hotter than it is today, and that is in spite of the huge tracts of earth that have been turned into concrete or asphalt, where cities create heat with huge buildings and masses of people, and yet we are still cooler than even 100 years ago. 

What about I million years or maybe 10 million years ago? Were there voices at this so-called court to talk about that and if there were did the court simply ignore them?

But I decided to dig a bit, and this is what I found,

Opinion or ruling?

In July 2025, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an advisory opinion stating that countries have a legal obligation to protect the climate and prevent harm to it. The court emphasized that climate change poses an “urgent and existential threat”. This ruling” clarifies that countries must uphold international climate laws, including the Paris Agreement‘s goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C. “The ICJ’s opinion” also suggests that countries harmed by climate change could potentially seek reparations. 

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

  • Obligation to protect the climate:

The ICJ affirmed” that countries have a legal duty to protect the climate system and prevent climate change-related harm. 

  • 1.5°C target is legally binding:

The “court clarified” that the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C is a legally binding benchmark. 

  • Stringent climate plans required:

The ICJ stated” that national climate plans must be “stringent” and aligned with the 1.5°C target. 

  • Potential for reparations:

“The opinion” suggests that countries harmed by climate change may be entitled to reparations or compensation. 

  • Increased legal pressure on governments:

The “ICJ’s ruling” strengthens legal arguments for climate action and may increase the success rate of domestic climate litigation. 

  • Fossil fuel phaseout:

“The ruling” is expected to increase pressure on governments to phase out fossil fuels and end subsidies. 

  • Landmark legal precedent:

“The ICJ’s opinion” is a landmark decision, providing a stronger legal foundation for climate action and holding countries accountable for their climate obligations. 

The ICJ determined that the 1.5°C temperature target is legally binding under the Paris Agreement and that all states, in particular the largest emitters, must take ambitious mitigation measures in line with the best available science. “The opinion” arrives 6 years after a group of 27 students from the University of the South Pacific began campaigning on this issue, and more than 2 years since the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted a resolution requesting the “advisory opinion”.

While the “ICJ’s opinion” itself is not binding—neither on itself nor on domestic courts—it carries considerable legal weight and political legitimacy.

The ICJ has nowauthoritatively interpreted international law” in a way that strengthens the legal foundation for ambitious, science-based climate action

(I highlighted the obvious contradictions.)

That may be but it has not stated or given an opinion of those who claim that this whole thing is a hoax based on Al Gore and his “Inconvenient Truth”.  They did not give an opinion on the concept that the planet has gone through more climate changes over the last few million years than any one of these brilliant manmade climate change advocates can or even will imagine.

What is regrettable to me is that those who sought to get justification or applause for their mania will claim that this “Opinion” or “Ruling” will claim victory for them and say that they now have a world court’s opinion that their hoax is real.   

Well yes, the hoax is real but the sad thing is that if they actually manage to do away with CO2 they too will perish, and probably claim to the end that they were right and the plants and sea let them down.

As an addition I read an article in Macleans titled Canada in 2060

Canada in the Year 2060

Summers lost to fire and smoke. Biblical floods. Dying forests. Retreating coasts. Economic turmoil and political unrest. It’s going to be a weird century. Here’s what it will look like—and how Canada can get through it.

BY ANNE SHIBATA CASSELMAN

And I confess I was laughing quite hard because by 2050 there will be no CO2, so there will be no oxygen so there will be no people to witness what they were predicting.  Oh, there might be a bit of oxygen floating over from China or even the USA, but not enough to sustain Canadians, who will have nothing to eat anyway.  But I realized that this will never happen in time because my grandchildren and great grandchildren and their generations will put a stop to this absolute crazy foolishness.

Yes, it’s time to re-read my copy of 1066 and all that.

Letter sent to the so called Public Safety Minister for Canada, another political appointee with zero experience or pizzazz

· 

Dear public safety minister Gary Anandasangaree,

Anthony Housefather is a Zionist who believes that Palestinian men, women and children who survive the bombings and missiles should be killed as a sport by IDF snipers. This shows the mentality and complete callousness of this Zionist in particular, but it appears that most MPs are in agreement with him for fear of being called antisemitic. I have no such fears as i am anti Zionist killers like Housefather and not my Jewish friends, they like me are appalled by the IDF and Netanyahu. Most of them no longer wear the small hats as a sign of rebellion against what their religion has become.

As a sign of moral inferiority, Anthony Housefather has called on the government to block Canadians from being able to see Bob Vylan perform. Please reject the request as someone of his (Housefather’s) ilk has nor earned the right to dictate what Canadians should be allowed to see, hear or do.

I do also realise that the entire Canadian Parliament is at the beck and call of the small hats lobby and most of us wonder how much money you have each been paid.

Seeking to deny artists a visa for scheduled concerts is a naked effort to suppress freedom of expression. Any suggestion Bob Vylan is a threat to Canadians is absurd.

Justin Trudeau in particular and his government ignored the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Criminal Code of Canada and turned Canadian against Canadian deliberately. There is no point in turning to the AG and Justice Minister of Canada because he is way too busy waving his arms to even hold never mind read the Constitution and Charter.

The hypocrisy of Israel advocates in calling to suppress musicians denouncing a military committing genocide is also extraordinary. Recently, Israeli military cantor Noam Buskila, who speaks about fighting in Gaza, performed in Montreal. Similarly, former Israel Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who once said “I’ve killed lots of Arabs in my life, and there’s no problem with that”, has spoken repeatedly in Canada. Other similar examples abound, but you are allowing the absurdity of blocking a musical duo.

Clearly we are governed (if that is the right word) by the inferiority riddled Zionist Lobby masquerading as Liberals with the backing of the remaining terrified MPs.

Don’t follow the Trump administration in trampling on basic liberal norms to defend Israel’s genocide. Let Canadians who so desire see Bob Vylan perform live

You do not have to approve any more than we have to approve of your pathetic actions..

Sincerely, but in complete disgust

Could this be the time to really establish our worth to the USA

Could this be the time?

So now Trump is telling us how to spend our very limited money by selling us patriot missiles which we will have to send to that Nazi creep in Ukraine. Of course, the Canadian politicians are so enamored by that Nazi they will fall all over themselves to do just that, not bothering to ask themselves what right Trump has to tell us what to buy and where to send it.

Where are our elected officials we sent to Ottawa to work for us, not Trump and Zelensky?

Increasingly I am thinking that this Carney fellow is in the position for the money he can and will make either ethically or not.

Right now, the Trump thing is in a rather awkward position which a strong Canadian leader could use. How many times have we been told we have nothing the Americans need,

OK

Stop the export of hydro, aluminium, potash, bitumen, lumber, copper, auto parts and water in any form. Stop any of those from crossing the border.

Yes, it will affect our bottom line momentarily but it is being affected anyway.

How long before a strong reaction from the people of America?

When MAGA and Republican governors feel the effect of what we can shut off, how long will they let Trump be soo silly? We wish no harm on the American people but……we would be being much more humane than the USA is in Gaza.

The myth that the Government of Canada is a new one

Anyone listening to the histrionics emanating from the Canadian House of Ill Repute concerning the current Liberal Government of Canada being new one can easily see that is a lie.

Real questions asked either in what passes for debate or during the “Oral Questions” waste of time, determine that no answers are given to questions and in some cases front benchers such as Mackinnon or Champagne will not only avoid the question but heap contempt and ridicule upon the questioner.  I have watched two weeks of Oral Questions now and am not able to recall one question being actually answered.  Since this has been the pattern since 2015 I can hardly call this a new government. Oh wait a moment I recall one answer of NO, can’t remember who but it was the only real answer I heard.

Yes, I agree that the elementary school drama teacher devotee of Klaus Schwab and his WEF has luckily been replaced but his replacement, the no taxpaying banker from Europe (also a WEF devotee), with a suspected passion for the destruction of Canada and a blind passion for the man-made climate change hoax is hardly what we needed.

There have been in my life a few people who make the short hairs in the back of my head stand up and he is one of them.  I trust neither his word nor his motives.  He has assembled a front bench of the worst of the last cabinet and some new ones who have absolutely no clue about their portfolios.

To cap it all off we have had since the Canadian confederation in 1867 ( since added to by additional provinces and territories) several layers of governments each with its own economical responsibilities, and the 1982 version with the included Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (completely ignored by the Trudeau version of terrorists).

The federal government. the provincial legislatures and the municipal councils.  Each has their own economical responsibilities, based on local taxation, and each one supposedly controlled by its residents, as is suggested by democracy.   Regretfully that democracy has not existed in Canada ever.

But now this converted banker wants to create one economy for Canada!!!    “One instead of thirteen” he boasts, but he is forgetting all the municipal councils and indigenous councils across Canada. What a strange thing to do unless the idea is to make it easier to give Canada to the WEF.   Yet, every liberal in our house of ill repute sems to be championing this absurd idea as if it was possible without a constitutional change. 

It sounds like another Liberal pipe dream with a dry ending.

They are also boasting a tax cut to 22 million Canadians that is half the population (?) which amounts in my case to half my weekly grocery bill.    What makes me laugh is that he wants this to happen by Canada Day 2025 ?????

There is just over three weeks to get it read twice, debated, taken to committee (which hasn’t even been appointed yet) and then read/debated again and sent to the senate, and then after the same process in the senate passed and sent to the GG for approval.  Good luck.

Maybe he will learn that trying to get things done quickly in a dysfunctional parliament is a great deal harder than canceling funds and livelihoods in a bank with a simple stroke of a pen.

I also notice that almost everything he says is an admission that the last decade has been one of abject failure which he now comes in on a long white limo to fix.   I agree with the decade of failure but I do not believe he is not the man to fix it.

Maybe all new Bills should be entitled “The Banker’s Bill to:….”

One Canadian Economy?

3rd June 2025.

Open Letter to Mark Carney,

Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.

Mr. Carney,

I know you have recently returned from Europe and may well be rusty in the way this country was set up but I feel I would be remiss if I did not remind you that the PM cannot change the Constitution of Canada to suit his needs as a banker or self proclaimer saviour of the country sent by the WEF. 

Your proclamation that there will be one economy in Canada completely goes against the division of responsibilities between Federal and Provincial rights and duties concerning the taxation of the Canadian people, including the rights of taxation by local town councils.  One economy would not allow for these. I am amazed that your Attorney General has not bought this to your attention, but then it is after all a Liberal government and the Rule of Law, respect, truth and openness do not apply to you, it would appear, any more than the Criminal Code applied to your predecessor.

Setting up a “free trade” system among provinces is not creating one economy and I am afraid that just like Trudeau you are imagining yourself as a Canadian god and by your language you are trying to create false realities.

You managed to successfully convince many frightened old Canadians to support you in the recent election, but I am also a senior and I do not fear Trump, who actually amuses me, and the more you feed his reality show host persona the more you urge him on;  but I do fear that your actions are smoke and mirrors and are going to do the opposite of what you have promised.

You do not have my trust and you absolutely do not have my consent to meddle with the Canadian Constitution.
