Former Liberal MP Frank Baylis Receives $237 Million Dollar Contract Former Liberal Party MP, Frank Baylis, receives a $237 million dollar contract to deliver 10,000 ventilators to Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Government at a cost of $23,000 each.

Early Vaccine Procurement Failures While the United States, the UK, Isreal and the European Union were well on their way vaccinating their citizens, Justin Trudeau was recovering from a failed contract with Chinese vaccine maker CanSino Biologics Inc. The project collapsed in August 2020 leading to panic buying from Pfizer, Moderna and other companies. This cost Canadians months in securing vaccines.

The Trudeau Government is Drowning Canada in Debt

According to the Canadian Debt Clock, the national debt in increasing by $454 million dollars EVERY DAY. The Federal Gov’t alone will pay over $20 billion in interest this year. That means they have to tax Canadians to cover that cost, just to pay the interest.

Gov’t Audit of $187 Billion Infrastructure Spending Find 20,000 Missing Projects Minister of Infrastructure, Catherine McKenna is unable or unwilling to produce evidence of over 20,000 projects funded by the Federal Government through the Infrastructure Ministry. Budget Officer Yves Giroux said he could find no records on more than a third of the projects “started or completed”, a total 20,000. “We’ve asked the department and have been able to find information for 33,000 of these projects,” said Giroux. “We have not been able to see a list that includes all these 52,000 or 53,000 projects, only 33,000 of these projects.” To date, these 10’s of billions and 10’s of thousands of projects have not been identified or found.

The Most Expensive Election in History Despite two more years in his mandate, and full cooperation from the NDP and the Bloc, Justin Trudeau forced Canada into an election that no one wanted but him. In the throws of the pandemic and the collapse of Afghanistan where Canadian allies and citizens are being killed, the Liberals called an election destined to be the most expensive in Canadian history at $610 million dollars. An unnecessary distraction and addition to Canada’s devastating deficit.

Spread 5 & 6

A registered lobbyist, the Aga Khan had received $50 million dollars in federal funding in 2016 Shortly after that, Justin Trudeau and his family accepted a private island vacation from that same lobbyist worth over $200,000. Trudeau was the first Prime Minister in Canadian history to be found guilty of ethics violations. Further investigation into the affair was blocked by the Liberal majority, contrary to Trudeau’s promises of a transparent and scandal free government.

Canadian Vice-Admiral Charged to Coverup Corruption

The Mark Norman case is a bombshell Liberal corruption case. Key information is alleged and will never come to light because of a multimillion dollar payout (taxpayer funded) to Norman for confidentiality. It is alleged that Vice-Admiral Mark Norman was aware of corruption in shipbuilding contracts and Liberal Government involvement worth hundreds of millions. In his efforts to expose this, he was charged by the Crown with breach of trust, assumingly to threaten him to keep quiet. The implications of this scandal can’t be overstated. It is suggested that every Canadian look into this, possibly one of the biggest corruption cases in our history.

Military Sex Scandals

Our women in the military are, and have been, at risk. A string of sexual misconduct allegations have been in the news as of late. Shockingly, these allegations were ignored by Liberal MP and Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan. Among others, Major General Dany Fortin, our military leader on Covid-19 logistics has been charged with sexual assault. Minister Sajjan also had to issue a public apology for conduct referred to as “stolen valor” for taking credit for Canada’s most highprofile operation in Afghanistan, Operation Medusa. Sajjan claimed he was the “architect” of the operation and only walked it back when those involved in the operation publicly voiced their outrage.

SNC Lavalin Scandal

Engineering giant SNC was found to be engaging in illegal practices that put the company in a position to be prosecuted criminally. Justin Trudeau allegedly intervened by pressuring Canada’s Justice Minister, Jody Wilson-Raybould to allow SNC to escape serious criminal penalties. Again, Trudeau allegedly lied to Canadians about his involvement and again was found guilty of breaking ethics law in Canada. The scandal highlighted serious corruption in Canada’s institutions.

Inaction on the Environment

Inarguably, the easiest and most effective way to reduce carbon in the atmosphere is to implement Trudeau’s 2019 promise to plant 2 billion trees. Trudeau was called out for this broken promise but reiterated it though in 2021, we don’t know if a single tree has been planted so far. The least effective and (most socially damaging way) to reduce carbon dioxide is taxation. Trudeau’s carbon taxes were implemented almost immediately and have now increased, making life even more expensive during the Covid-19 pandemic. Making people poor means they will consume less. This is the preferred route the Liberals have taken while ignoring the actual issue with carbon.

Bill Blair and Justin Trudeau Claim to Want to Keep Canadians Safe

Trudeau and Blair continuously appeal to Canadians to believe that their actions and priorities are to keep Canadians safe. While banning firearms from licensed gun owners, potentially costing billions, Liberals, through bill c-75, lessened punishments for crimes involving firearm, gang, human trafficking, and terrorism offenses. The results, Canada has become increasingly violent. For example, since 2015, shootings in the Greater Toronto area have never been higher.

Repatriating ISIS Combatants

On one hand, Bill Blair and Justin Trudeau villainize RCMP-vetted, Canadian licensed gun owners as a dangerous group. While on the other hand, they felt it was worth the risk to repatriate dozens of Canadians who travelled to the Middle East to fight against our own soldiers. Trudeau bizarrely called the returning terrorists “a powerful voice”, putting Canadians at risk for no benefit to the country.

Treatment of First Nations

After six years of political leveraging of First Nations, there are over 50 long-term and 39 short-term boil water advisories on Aboriginal reserves. When an activist protested at a Liberal fundraiser, Trudeau mocked them saying “thank you for your donation tonight”. The crowd of Liberal supporters laughed and applauded.

Destroying a Free and Open Internet

Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party has taken unprecedented steps to control communication on the internet. Pushing Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault out front to take the heat for Bill C-10. The bill has been a disaster. It gives unprecedented power to the government to regulate speech and search relevance on the Canadian internet. Even granting the ability to use that power concerning speech deemed “hurtful”. C-10 will now die on the order paper because of the election. But should Trudeau get re-elected, it would be reintroduced and become law soon enough.

Key Takeaways for Canadians

Response to Covid-19

The Trudeau Liberals botched the response to Covid at every step. They knew what they were facing via a report from the Canadian military. They told Canadians the opposite and left the borders wide open while people from infected nations came pouring in; 58,000 from Wuhan itself. They gave away our PPE to China and left us rationing with next to nothing. As billions of dollars were flooding out of government accounts to who knows where, Trudeau wasted months on a vaccine relationship with Chinese manufacturer CanSino Biologics Inc. only to have it collapse and place us at the back of the line with other, established manufacturers. All this, while Covid was gaining a solid foothold in Canada. They fumbled most of the way while telling Canadians how well they were doing. This has caused Canadians to be in conflict with each other about what really happened.

Canada’s Economy

The Liberals have mismanaged the economy at levels never before seen in our history. During the global economic collapse, Canada ran a $55 billion dollar deficit. This was a staggering amount for such a small country. Within five years, the deficit was gone and the budget was balanced. When the Liberals were elected in 2015, the deficits appeared again with deficits every year including a $20 billion deficit in 2019 before Covid. The deficit from 2020-21 is estimated at $388 billion. The Liberals speculate of a balanced budget in 2070. This should matter because the future prosperity of Canada’s youth and the ability for the current generation to receive its earned benefits relies on a country that can afford to pay. The current Liberals, nor the NDP are fit to manage a country. This is clearly true.

Corruption and Incompetence

The current Liberal Party of Canada is not the same party of Jean Chretien or Paul Martin. This is an entirely different group of people. This is plain to see. The corruption and incompetence of this government is astounding. Whether it’s regular ethics investigations, shutting down committee investigations, pitting Canadians against each other by race, gender, sexual orientation, political affiliation or vaccine status, we have the most divided Canada ever. Absurd and unsustainable levels of spending, constant scandals and 10’s of billions in missing money; this group cannot be allowed to rule again. Even at this point, it will take more than a generation to repair the damage.

The purpose of this booklet is to appeal to Canadians to stop listening to government messaging and look into the performance of the Trudeau Liberals themselves. Accurate information is available, but you’ve got to take the time to read it. Canada is at a historic crossroads.

From the Authors

This booklet and reference site is paid for by the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (the CCFR). We are a grass roots organization aimed at protecting the ability to legally own and use firearms. The reason we made this booklet is because though we are a firearm advocacy group, we are Canadians first.

Justin Trudeau and his Liberals have mismanaged Canada in such a profound way, it will take three generations to repair it, if it can indeed be repaired. Whether or not the CCFR is able to advance our interests in legal and safe firearm ownership, it won’t matter if Canada isn’t a place worth living in.

Please focus on provable facts in what you believe during this election. Vote for the most stable party to lead us out of this pandemic and on to the long road to recovery.

We thank you for taking the time to consider this information. If you are interested in why we believe that firearm ownership is important, feel free to check out www.gundebate.ca

Good luck to us all.
