Prime Minister Justin Trudeau To Visit Victoria, Cfb Esquimalt On Thursday

... B. Pearson was prime minister and the mayor was Richard B. Wilson. “I want to talk about innovation and social enterprise,” she said. She plans to tell him about the new firehall that’s in the works, though “not to ask for money.”. But she will “make a strong case” for federal dollars to help with funding an upgrade for the Belleville ferry terminal. Helps said she also plans to pitch the city’s plans for replacing Crystal Pool and its affordable housing strategy. “First and foremost, I will thank him for making his ministers available to us and [for] our good working relationship.”. The Prime Minister’s Office said Trudeau’s itinerary takes him and National Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan to CFB Esquimalt about 9:30 a.m. They will take part in a five-kilometre run and tour the base.

How Did A Canadian Pm Become A Style Superhero

... she was only in this workplace – as she has always only been at any workplace – because of her dad, and her much-vaunted brilliant idea about childcare is that the massively rich should get tax breaks on their nanny , I can’t help but feel that being photographed looking at the PM of Canada is the least of the things she should feel embarrassed about, but probably doesn’t. But I can’t bear to write about her for a third week in a row in this column, so let’s just leave it there. The truth is, no one thinks Merkel et al have the hots for Trudeau. This meme is just a reflection of how the public is assumed to do so, which is a fairly sad commentary on how desperate so many of us are for someone in politics who doesn’t look and behave like a Batman villain (ruling out the entire Trump administration) and who seems like they have half a clue and moral compass (ruling out most British politicians). If people are deifying a man who looks like a fairytale prince, it’s because they’re hoping to be saved in time for a happy ...

Why The Left Coast May Be Writing Off Justin Trudeau

... Beach had been fouled by the largest metal pollution event in North America from the now-shuttered Britannia copper mine. At one time, the mine sent 600 kilograms a day of dissolved metals into the pristine waters. “For the sake of a tiny group of men, we are going to re-industrialize after cleaning it up? Trudeau said he believed in social licence. What does social licence mean if the voices of your society come together with a single clarion call that is then completely ignored when it comes to public policy. “You ask me if I would introduce Justin again here in B. C. To be honest with you, I wouldn’t.”. Few people have more skin in the game of fighting Site C than Ken Boon. He and his family have farmed a section of land in the Peace River Valley for three generations. There is 15 feet of alluvial soil under his boots, not to mention a huge aquifer. Of the 640 acres Boon owned, all but 10 were expropriated last December to make way for the Site C hydro project. The way Boon sees it, building this dam is a huge roll of the dice, ...

Dreamy 20-something Justin Trudeau Is Here To Steal Your Heart

... business" or "don't forget the importance of body language.". Between the flowing locks, the intense gaze and the impish grin he is totally rocking the look of any number of Disney heroes, like Naveen or Hercules. (Note: I do mean Hunk-ules. I always mean Hunk-ules.). Can someone call Disney and find out if there's a Trudeau-themed ride set up yet. This is just all too much. These pictures are enough to make you forget that Jordan Catalano ever existed. These pictures are enough to make you forget that you ever existed. Hot young Le BAE will give you an existential crisis. (And then graciously rescue you from that existential crisis because he's trained in philosophical CPR.). I can't handle this. First of all, how dare you! No one has ever looked this good as a late-teenager. Where is your acne? Why is your conditioner game on fleek? Who taught you how to smize? WHO TAUGHT YOU? How did we go decades without knowing about this hot front from the north? Keeping Justin Trudeau from America was an act of war. I'd like to speak to the president of Canada, please. You have some explaining to do. ...

... country in the whole wide world but pineapple on pizza is where a draw the line. — Adriana Heguy (@Adriana Heguy) February 25, 2017. Some tweeple thought the issue would escalate. teacher: who can tell me how world war 3 started. student: ok well first canada and iceland beefed on twitter about pineapple pizza. — jake (@jakebeckman) February 24, 2017. Meanwhile, someone actually had a Hawaiian pizza delivered to Iceland's embassy in London. Many thanks to the loyal supporters of #pineappleonpizzas for this delivery today, along with a clear message! __link__/slj YEJWRo R. — Embassy of Iceland (@Icelandin UK) February 22, 2017. In case you were wondering, the Hawaiian pizza topping was actually invented by a Greek-Canadian called Sam Panopoulous in 1962. He says he never imagined that 55 years later, his humble creation would still be making headlines. "Pizza in those days was three things: dough, sauce, cheese, and mushroom, bacon, or pepperoni. That was it," says Panopoulos. "You had no choices; you could get one of the three (toppings) or more of them together." At his small restaurant, Panopoulos says he often threw ...

Liberal Party’s Meddling In Byelections Risks Harming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Brand

... brand: Hébert. Candidate selection process in Montreal’s Saint-Laurent and Markham-Thornhill shows the gap between what Trudeau says and what the party does. Yolande James, seen here in 2012 when she was Quebec's family minister, is thought to have the inside track for the Liberal party nomination in Montreal’s Saint-Laurent riding. The riding's longtime mayor Alan De Sousa said last week he was barred from seeking the nomination.  (Jacques Boissinot / THE CANADIAN PRESS). By Chantal Hébert National Affairs Columnist. Wed., March 1, 2017. MONTREAL—Alan De Sousa has been the mayor of Montreal’s Saint-Laurent borough since it was created 15 years ago. Initially elected on the ticket of mayor Gérald Tremblay, he survived the corruption scandals that marked that era and was re-elected as part of Denis Coderre’s team in 2013. When De Sousa declared his intention to run for the Liberal nomination in Saint-Laurent — the riding just vacated by former foreign affairs minister Stéphane Dion — he was considered if not a shoe-in, at ...

Justin Trudeau, Canada Get Shout-out In Donald Trump's Speech To Congress

... and his call for a still-vaguely-defined border adjustment tax. He also saluted Canada’s immigration system during his attention-grabbing remarks on immigration reform. In the speech, and in comments Trump made earlier in the day to TV network anchors, Trump appeared to signal an openness to a long-elusive goal: an immigration deal between Republicans who want a tighter southern border, and Democrats who want legal status for millions of undocumented residents. “Nations around the world, like Canada, Australia and many others, have a merit-based immigration system,” Trump said. “I believe that real and positive immigration reform is possible, as long as we focus on the following goals — to improve jobs and wages for Americans, to strengthen our nation’s security, and to restore respect for our laws. “If we are guided by the well-being of American citizens then I believe Republicans and Democrats can work ...

... a friendly wave as he tours the Father Ermanno Bulfon Community Centre in Woodbridge Monday afternoon. Feb 27, 2017. Trudeau in Vaughan. Steve Somerville/Metroland. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau looks at the results of this youngster's selfie with him during a tour of Father Ermanno Bulfon Community Centre in Woodbridge Monday afternoon. Feb. 27, 2017. By Adam Martin-Robbins. Throngs of Vaughan residents, young and old, packed Father Ermanno Bulfon Community Centre hoping to shake hands and, in some cases, snap a selfie with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Monday afternoon. Trudeau dropped by for a quick meet-and-greet with local residents at 3 p.m. Feb. 27 after spending a day in the GTA that featured stops at Brampton city hall and Mississauga city hall, followed by a round-table discussion on the automotive industry at the Automotive Parts Manufacturer Association Head Office in Toronto. Dozens of people packed in the main lobby of the community centre, bursting into loud cheers as Trudeau made his entrance shaking hands and posing for photographs. One group held a hand-written banner that read: PM Trudeau thanks for keeping Canada great. During the tour, ...

Feds Play Support, Not Lead, In Grassy Narrows Mercury Contamination

... to address the problem “once and for all.”. Trudeau’s remarks come after a new report – commissioned by Grassy Narrows First Nation and funded by Ontario – found there is ongoing mercury contamination in the area from a paper mill in Dryden, Ont., that was decommissioned decades ago. Story continues below. “The Grassy Narrows issue is very much a provincial issue,” he told a news conference Wednesday in Calgary. “But the federal government, under my leadership, is certainly very engaged with the province to ensure we are moving forward in the right direction.”. The northwestern Ontario community, located near the Manitoba border, has struggled to deal with poisoning since the mill dumped 9,000 kilograms of mercury into the Wabigoon and English River systems in the 1960 s. Contamination remains a serious concern for the community, Health Minister Jane Philpott said earlier Wednesday in Ottawa – but she also made it clear the federal government sees the problem as primarily an Ontario one. “There are serious challenges and that’s why it has to be a matter that is addressed with the utmost seriousness,” she said. “The province has the lead on this and we, in the federal ...
