“Broken” Federal public service system requires overhaul says Canada’s PBO

Canada’s Parliamentary Budget Officer says the federal public service is letting Canadians down.

Facing questions from the Senate National Finance Committee on Tuesday, Yves Giroux says the public service system is “broken”.

Senator Larry Smith asked about Giroux’s experience with budget estimate reports from federal ministries coming in late, incomplete or sometimes not at all. Giroux replied with some stunning statements, claiming federal cabinet ministers “are not very well equipped to challenge their own officials.”.

According to Giroux’s testimony “We end up in a situation where it’s public servants responsible for delivering programs that set their own targets, and they usually set the bar not too high so that it doesn’t look too easy, but neither too low, so it’s fairly easy to achieve most of the time”.

“But yet by their own assessment, they fail to deliver upon many of these.”

The PBO then called for a leadership overhaul of federal departments, emphasizing there is “clear room for enhanced leadership to improve service delivery.”

Chrystia Freeland’s WEF page deleted after she announces bid to replace Trudeau

Around the same time Chrystia Freeland announced she is running to replace Trudeau as leader of the Liberal Party, citizens noticed that her World Economic Forum page has been deleted from the globalist group’s website.

Former finance minister and deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland’s World Economic Forum (WEF) page has been deleted around the same time she announced her bid for leadership of the Liberal Party.

On January 19, Freeland, who recently resigned from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, announced that she would run for Liberal leader now that Trudeau says he is stepping down. Around this time, the WEF’s profile on Freeland was taken down from their website. 

“Sorry, but we can’t find the page you were looking for,” the page now says after clicking on the link which originally brought users to Freeland’s WEF profile. The page is still viewable via the internet archive, which notes that she is on the Board of Trustees for the globalist group best known for its infamous “Great Reset” agenda. 

In addition to the WEF page being deleted, the majority of Freeland’s Instagram posts have been removed from public view.

Many have speculated online as to the reason why these actions were taken, with some suggesting that Freeland desires to distance herself from the massively criticized group.

Critics often pointed to Freeland’s association with the group during her tenure as finance minister and deputy prime minister, as she was known for pushing policies endorsed by the globalist organization, such as the carbon tax and online censorship.

Freeland’s ties to the WEF seem extensive, with her receiving a personal commendation from former WEF leader Klaus Schwab.

Freeland is perhaps best known internationally for her heavy-handed response to anti-mandate Freedom Convoy protesters, which saw the then-finance minister direct financial institutions to freeze the bank accounts of Canadians who participated in or donated to the protest.

One of Freeland’s main opponents in the Liberal leadership race, Mark Carney, also has ties to the WEF, and has similarly come under fire from critics for pushing their globalist agenda.

Poilievre calls likely Trudeau replacement Mark Carney the World Economic Forum’s ‘golden boy’

‘He is the golden boy of the World Economic Forum and he will be a disaster if he ever gets anywhere close to power’

The leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, Pierre Poilievre, had choice words for Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney’s ties to global elites, calling him out as the “golden boy” for the World Economic Forum.

“He is the golden boy of the World Economic Forum and he will be a disaster if he ever gets anywhere close to power,” Polievre said in a video posted to X on Monday.

Poilievre added that the reason “we know” Carney will be a “disaster” is that “he has been Justin Trudeau’s personal economic advisor” for years.

“If you think that Justin Trudeau has done a bad job on the economy, you know who’s been pulling his strings,” the Conservative Party leader added.

“Carbon tax Carney. They’re both [Carney and Chrystia Freeland] … just like Justin, and that’s why we need a carbon tax election to fire them all and bring home a common-sense Conservative government,” he said.

As referenced by Poilievere, Carney has worked closely with the WEF for years, in addition to serving in top roles as a central banker in both England and Canada. 

The banker has also endorsed the carbon tax and even criticized Trudeau when he exempted home heating oil from the tax.  

The Liberal Party of Canada will choose its next leader, who will automatically become prime minister, on March 9, after Trudeau announced that he plans to step down as Liberal Party leader once a new leader has been chosen.  

Just last week, Carney drew headlines after no less than four journalists from independent media were forcefully barred from attending his Liberal Party leadership candidacy press conference.
