In his column in yesterday's National Post, Conrad Black called what this government is trying to do a form of oppression. He attacked their position, stated in the Throne Speech, to saddle the country with oppressive debt for generations, simply because global interest rates are low.

00:00:14.000He attacked their position, stated in the throne speech, to saddle the country with oppressive debt for generations simply because global interest rates are low.
00:00:25.000In the first four years, the Liberals managed to spend us into fiscal oblivion. Last October, they went back to Canadians to ask for another term.
00:00:37.000The campaign was all based on rhetoric, half-truths and, well, typical nonsense.
00:00:44.000Fortunately, enough Canadians saw through the nonsense and did not give the Liberals a second majority government.
00:00:51.000But, they did gain a minority government and the spending escalated at a mind-boggling pace, underlining Conrad Black's point.
00:01:03.000But, even with the minority government, the Prime Minister is doing his level best to act as a dictator, not a parliamentarian.
00:01:12.000He tried to use the COVID-19 pandemic to neuter Parliament for nearly two years to December of 2021, so he had unfettered ability to do whatever he wanted.
00:01:23.000Fortunately, the grown-ups in Parliament, led by Andrew Scheer, stopped that.
00:01:28.000Yet, with the support of Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP, the Prime Minister still does what he wants, as though they have a majority government instead of governing with the consent of Parliament.
00:01:42.000The Federal Government, last month, put out a request for proposal, an RFP, for a private company to monitor social media.
