Thousands braved the cold to pack Poilievre’s rally, chanting ‘We need you!’

Pierre Poilievre didn’t just hold a rally. He delivered a political earthquake. Thousands of Canadians braved the cold—minus eleven degrees, snow falling, streets covered in ice—to stand shoulder to shoulder, packed into an overflowing venue, with even more watching from spillover rooms.

And it wasn’t just a polite gathering of voters looking for a fresh face to replace Trudeau’s tired, corrupt regime. No, this was something else entirely. It was a moment where you could feel the momentum shifting. It was the kind of rally that terrifies political elites because it tells them one thing—this isn’t just a campaign anymore. It’s a movement.

Now, we’ve seen this before. Obama in 2008, Trump in 2016. The political class and their media lapdogs always pretend these moments don’t exist—right up until the moment they steamroll the establishment and change the country forever. That’s the kind of energy we saw in Ottawa. That’s the kind of political force Poilievre is sitting on.

And the real question is: does he understand just how big this is? Because right now, he is either going to ride this wave to an unstoppable victory, or he is going to let the media, the bureaucrats, and the Liberal swamp talk him into playing it safe and blowing the biggest opportunity of his life.

Let’s talk about what he got right—because he got a lot right.

First, Mark Carney got absolutely eviscerated. And not a moment too soon. For months, the Liberal establishment and their media servants have been parading this unelected banker around like some kind of messiah—as if Canadians have been crying out for a smug, carbon-tax-obsessed globalist to come and save us from ourselves.

Well, Poilievre wasn’t having it. He torched Carney’s entire phony image in a single speech.

This is a guy—let’s be very clear about who he is—who has spent his entire career making life more expensive for you while getting richer off it. A man who cheered for the carbon tax in Canada while personally investing in American coal. A man who killed pipelines here while his own company bought them in the Middle East. A man who spent years whispering in Trudeau’s ear, pushing policies that have already driven over $500 billion in investment out of this country—and now, somehow, wants you to believe he’s the guy to fix it.

It was devastating, brutal, and completely deserved. And the best part? Poilievre made it clear that if Carney wins, Canada loses.

But that wasn’t even the most important part of the speech.

The most important moment came when Poilievre didn’t just talk about the economy—he talked about Canada’s survival.

Because that’s what this is about.

And this is where Poilievre really flipped the script on the media’s latest nonsense.

For weeks now, Canada’s press has been running around like a bunch of headless chickens, shrieking that Trump’s tariffs are going to destroy us—as if the biggest economic threat to this country isn’t the people running it into the ground from within.

And instead of taking the bait, instead of playing defense, Poilievre turned the entire argument on its head.

The real problem isn’t Trump. The real problem is that Canada can’t even trade with itself.

Think about that. Canada’s biggest economic problem isn’t some tariff threat from Washington—it’s that we have more trade barriers between our own provinces than we do with the United States. That is insane. That is deliberate economic sabotage. That is the kind of bureaucratic lunacy that only a Liberal government could create.

So instead of cowering in fear about what Trump might do, Poilievre did what no Canadian politician has done in decades—he promised to tear down interprovincial trade barriers in his first 30 days in office.

And suddenly, the entire media narrative collapsed.

Why? Because if Canada is so fragile that one American president can destroy our economy with a tariff, then maybe the real problem isn’t Trump. Maybe the real problem is that Liberal policies have left us so pathetically weak that we can’t even function as a country without America’s permission.

Now that’s leadership. That’s the kind of offensive strategy Canada needs.

And then, Poilievre did it again.

He unleashed his strongest energy vision yet.

He vowed to repeal C-69, the anti-pipeline law, within 60 days. He promised to fast-track LNG projects, restart the Ring of Fire mining industry, and put an end to the foreign-funded radical environmentalists who have spent decades deliberately crippling Canada’s energy sector while collecting cash from foreign oil interests.

The crowd exploded. Because Canadians know what’s been done to them.

This country should be an energy powerhouse. Instead, under Liberal rule, we have entire provinces collapsing under green energy scams while we import oil from countries that hate us.

Poilievre knows it. Canadians know it.

And yet, for all the things he got right, there was one glaring failure.

China.

Yes, Poilievre called China a hostile power. Yes, he promised to strengthen Arctic defenses and build a new military base in Iqaluit. That’s good. That’s necessary.

But that’s not enough.

Because Trudeau didn’t just let China threaten Canada from the outside—he let them infiltrate our democracy from the inside.

And that’s where Poilievre should have gone further.

He should have hammered the Houge Inquiry—the investigation into Chinese election interference that was so damaging that Trudeau shut down Parliament to bury it.

He should have exposed how CSIS warned the Liberals about Chinese interference—and they did nothing.

He should have pledged to ban CCP-linked companies from buying Canadian land, businesses, and resources.

He should have said, plainly and directly, that Trudeau’s government was complicit in allowing a foreign dictatorship to interfere in Canada’s democracy.

But he didn’t. And that was a mistake.

Because when you are standing in front of a roaring crowd, a movement waiting for a leader to take the gloves off, that is the moment you go all in.

Poilievre is so close. He has the passion. He has the policies. He has the momentum.

But now, he has to finish the job.

That means stop holding back on China. That means stop treating this like a normal election. That means expose the entire corrupt system—not just Trudeau, but the elites who profit off Canada’s decline.

Because the crowd is ready. The movement is here. The moment is now.

The only question is: is Poilievre ready to go all the way?

2025 Federal Election

Canadian officials warn Communist China ‘highly likely’ to interfere in 2025 election

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Anthony Murdoch

The Canadian government believes China will use specific tools ahead of the April election such as AI and social media to specifically target ‘Chinese ethnic, cultural, and religious communities in Canada using clandestine and deceptive means.’

Canadian officials from the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) Task Force warned that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) government will most likely try to interfere in Canada’s upcoming federal election.

Vanessa Lloyd, chair of the task force, observed during a March 24 press conference that “it is expected that the People’s Republic of China, or PRC, will likely continue to target Canadian democratic institutions and civil society to advance its strategic objectives.”

SITE is made up of representatives of multiple Canadian departments and agencies that have a security mandate.

Lloyd’s regular job is as the Deputy Director of Operations, second in charge, for Canada’s spy agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).

According to Lloyd, officials from China as well as CCP proxies will be “likely to conduct foreign interference activity using a complex array of both overt and covert mechanisms.”

Her warning comes after the final report from the Foreign Interference Commission concluded that operatives from the CCP may have had a hand in helping to elect a handful of MPs in both the 2019 and 2021 Canadian federal elections. It also concluded that China was the primary foreign interference threat to Canada.

The commission shed light on how CCP agents and proxies conduct election interference, with one method being to rally community groups to make sure certain election candidates are looked down upon.

According to Lloyd, it is “highly likely” that China will engage in certain election meddling using specific tools such as AI.

“The PRC is highly likely to use AI-enabled tools to attempt to interfere with Canada’s democratic process in this current election,” she noted, adding that China will also use social media as well to “specifically target Chinese ethnic, cultural, and religious communities in Canada using clandestine and deceptive means.”

Canada will hold its next federal election on April 28 after Prime Minister Mark Carney triggered it on Sunday.

As reported by LifeSiteNews earlier in the month, a new exposé by investigative journalist Sam Cooper claims there is compelling evidence that Carney and former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are strongly influenced by an “elite network” of foreign actors, including those with ties to communist China and the World Economic Forum.

In light of multiple accusations of foreign meddling in Canadian elections, the federal Foreign Interference Commission was convened last year to “examine and assess the interference by China, Russia, and other foreign states or non-state actors, including any potential impacts, to confirm the integrity of, and any impacts on, the 43rd and 44th general elections (2019 and 2021 elections) at the national and electoral district levels.”

The commission was formed after Trudeau’s special rapporteur, former Governor General David Johnston, failed in an investigation into CCP allegations after much delay. That inquiry was not done in public and was headed by Johnston, who is a “family friend” of Trudeau.

Johnston quit as “special rapporteur” after a public outcry following his conclusion that there should not be a public inquiry into the matter. Conservative MPs demanded Johnston be replaced over his ties to China and the Trudeau family.

Democracy watchdog calls for impartial prosecution of Justin Trudeau

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Anthony Murdoch

Democracy Watch asked that an independent prosecutor be appointed to look over evidence it provided to get permission to carry out a private prosecution of Trudeau’s role in the SNC-Lavalin affair.

One of Canada’s most well-respected democratic watchdog groups says the Ontario government should organize for an impartial prosecutor to investigate former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s involvement in the SNC-Lavalin affair.  

In a letter dated March 21 written to Ontario’s Attorney General Doug Downey, watchdog Democracy Watch asked directly that an independent prosecutor be appointed to look over evidence from its recent Ontario Court of Justice application to get approval to go ahead with a private prosecution of Trudeau’s role in the 2019 scandal. 

“The RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) did a very superficial investigation into the Trudeau Cabinet’s obstruction of the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin,” wrote lawyer Duff Conacher, co-founder of Democracy Watch, on behalf of the group’s board of directors.

Conacher noted that the RCMP “didn’t even interview many witnesses or try to obtain key secret Cabinet communication records, and buried the investigation with an almost two-year delay, and then made a behind-closed-doors, very questionable decision not to prosecute anyone.” 

SNC-Lavalin, which now goes by the name “AtkinsRéalis,” in 2019 pleaded guilty to fraud in a Québec Provincial Court and was hit with a $280 million fine. Company executives also admitted that they had paid $47.7 million in bribes to get contracts in Libya. 

In October 2023, Canadian Liberal MPs on the ethics committee voted to stop the RCMP from testifying about the SNC-Lavalin bribery scandal. 

In June 2023, LifeSiteNews reported that the RCMP denied it was looking into whether Trudeau and his cabinet committed obstruction of justice concerning the SNC-Lavalin bribery scandal. 

In its letter, Democracy Watch called up Downey to strike a committee comprised of persons without political party ties to choose an impartial lawyer to be an Independent Special Prosecutor. This prosecutor would review all the evidence and then make a public decision about Trudeau’s involvement in the affair.  

“The RCMP lacks independence from the Prime Minister and Cabinet ministers who handpick the RCMP Commissioner and deputy commissioners and division heads through a secretive process, and they all serve at the pleasure of the Cabinet so they are vulnerable to political interference, which is likely part of the reason the RCMP rolled over and let Trudeau off,” noted Conacher.

Conacher also stated that a public inquiry was needed to see why the RCMP “tried to cover up its investigation” and chose not to prosecute.  

Retired judge also says Trudeau should be prosecuted  

SNC-Lavalin was faced with charges of corruption and fraud concerning about $48 million in payments made to Libyan government officials between 2001 and 2011. The company had hoped to be spared a trial and have its prosecution deferred.

However, in 2019, then-Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould did not go along with the request and contended that both Trudeau and his top Liberal officials had inappropriately applied pressure on her for four months to directly intervene in the criminal prosecution of the group.

Jen Danch of Swadron Associates law firm will be representing Democracy Watch for its application, with Wayne Crookes, founder of Integrity B.C., being a key supporter of it.  

Of interesting note is that the application includes an opinion from an unnamed retired superior court justice who also supports the prosecution effort.  

“There are reasonable and probable grounds to believe that the Prime Minister committed the offence of Obstruction of Justice under s. 139(2) of the Criminal Code and possibly the offence of Breach of Trust by a Public Official under s. 122 of the Criminal Code,” wrote the judge. 

“The facts outlined by the Ethics Commissioner and the evidence of Ms. Wilson-Raybould at the House Committee on Justice indicate that the Prime Minister and his staff set out to interfere in the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin by trying to stop the prosecution and replace an apparently properly founded prosecution with a less onerous process that would avoid the consequences of a conviction for SNC-Lavalin.”  

At this time, there will be a hearing in Ottawa on March 28 where a judge will decide procedural processes regarding how or if the prosecution will be allowed to continue.  

Last year, the RCMP confirmed it never talked with Trudeau or was able to view secret cabinet records before declining to levy charges.

As for the initial investigation concerning SNC-Lavalin, Wilson-Raybould testified in early 2019 to Canada’s justice committee that she believed she was moved from her justice cabinet posting to veterans’ affairs due to the fact she did not grant a request from SNC-Lavalin for a deferred prosecution agreement rather than a criminal trial. 

Of note is that a criminal conviction would have banned the company from landing any government contracts for 10 years. 

Trudeau flat-out denied it was being investigated by the RCMP. 

Less than four years ago, Trudeau was found to have broken the federal ethics laws, or Section 9 of the Conflict of Interest Act, for his role in pressuring Wilson-Raybould.
