How the filibuster that nobody cares about proves that it’s the right time to have an election

The Liberal government’s decision to offer a targeted break to Canadians on the GST, starting in December, along with a lump-sum payment next spring, may or may not bring a pause to a two-month-long filibuster by the Conservatives in the House of Commons.

But the truly amazing thing about that filibuster is that nobody seems to care about it. You could not find a more compelling reason to call an election right now, today, this hour, than the fact that Parliament has been doing nothing for two months and most people haven’t even noticed.

Europe is turning into one big no-go zone

The Migration Research Institute in Budapest, linked to the prestigious Matthias Corvinus College, estimates 900 uncontrolled areas throughout Europe. A Europe of open borders has ended up filled with no-go zones.

Amid the usual laughter of commentators and Twitter users, eight years ago Donald Trump scandalized the right-thinking people by stating that “no-go zones” were being created in Europe. No-go zones? It must have been another fake by Trump, they said.

David Ignatius in the New York Times had used the expression, explaining that some areas of Paris had become “no-go zones at night”. Then Michael Nazir-Ali, bishop of Rochester, spoke of no-go zones in England.

Debunking the Debunkers: The academy and the media mislead about immigration’s effects.

Despite claiming years ago to have “the best words,” President-elect Donald Trump is something less than a flawless orator. Consider his remarks during an on-stage appearance this past summer at the annual convention of the National Association of Black Journalists: “I will tell you that coming from the border are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking black jobs.”

Democrats and the media panned then-nominee Trump for appearing to suggest that some jobs are inherently “black.” But they failed to address his intended point: illegal immigrants are competing for, and in some cases taking, jobs held by African Americans.

GUNTER: Trudeau Liberals’ latest vote-buying attempt laughable

Just about 20 years ago, a Liberal named Scott Reid, who was party leader Paul Martin’s communications director, sneered at a campaign promise from Conservative Leader Stephen Harper. The Conservatives had proposed to give Canadian families $1,200 a year to spend on the child care of their choice — day homes, family members and friends or formal daycare.

Reid sneered during a CBC panel discussion that the payments would just turn out to be “25 bucks a week to blow on beer and popcorn.”

Socio-Feudalism’s War on the Individual

The transformation of the medieval world into the modern world came about with the idea that man could and should transform his lot in life. The liberal individualism of the Enlightenment however was soon countered by reactionary movements, feudal and socio-feudal, seeking to put the genie of individual autonomy back in the box through collectivist movements.

Among the most prominent of these was what would eventually be called socialism. While early socialist movements had been a radical Christian heresy emphasizing communal living, these experiments invariably failed on a local level, leaving behind a trail of wrecked lives.

Michael Taube: PCs have lock on Nova Scotia election thanks to incompetent NDP

They made Justin cry.

There’s been an intense call for political change around the world. We’ve seen it in the U.K., where Keir Starmer and the Labour Party ended 15 years of Tory rule. We’ve seen it in the U.S., where Donald Trump will be returning to the White House with the Republicans in control of the House of Representatives and Senate.

Yet, there’s one Canadian province which is seemingly about to buck this worldwide trend. That’s in Nova Scotia, where Premier Tim Houston and his PC government are, once again, coasting to victory.

Stale Air! NPR Airs Hour of Leftist Shrieking About Trump’s Revenge on the Press

The most ridiculous program title at National Public Radio is the one-sided evening newscast called All Things Considered. But Fresh Air is pretty close, since it also sounds like endlessly recycled left-wing bilge that we involuntarily subsidize with our tax dollars.

On Wednesday’s Fresh Air, NPR host Terry Gross put on ex-Washington Post executive editor Martin Baron and New Yorker editor David Remnick for another.44-minute rehash of all the pompous talk about how Donald Trump hates “fact-based” journalism as it’s published by these two propaganda organs for the left.

Special forces tracked former soldier’s social media, shared private info without consent

I think this story is full of beans.

Canadian special forces collected social media posts of a veteran as well as shared his private information without permission as they tried to strip him of his right to ask for government information, according to defence department records.

Documents shared with the Ottawa Citizen show Canadian Special Operations Forces Command claimed retired corporal Daniel Abboud was trying to intimidate its elite troops by asking questions about alleged wrongdoing and making posts on various social media platforms.

A Tale of Two Car Ads

Jaguar Air Conditioner

Once in a while, a company decides to rebrand itself. Sometimes those rebranding efforts work; other times they don’t (I see you, new Coke).

One company that has recently undergone a rebranding effort is Jaguar. With a history spanning just over a century, the luxury car manufacturer was famous for its sporty cars that were sleek, stylish, and quintessentially British.

I would be examining short seller activity. This fiasco could not have been planned better for someone hoping to gain by Jaguar’s stock collapse.

Navy to replace official Heart of Oak march with ‘more inclusive’ music

The Royal Canadian Navy plans to replace its official march with a new composition after deciding the lyrics, which celebrate British military victories in the colonial era and sing of men but not women, are disrespectful and outdated.

Heart of Oak, which is inherited from Britain and dates back to 1759, before Canada’s Confederation, is played at Royal Canadian Navy parades and mess dinners.

I’m going to practice my Chinese.

Trudeau’s Canada: Another senior member of Iran’s regime caught in Canada , CBSA says

Qasem Soleimani: US kills top Iranian general in Baghdad air strike

Another senior member of the Iranian regime has been found living in Canada, bringing the number to 16, according to immigration officials.

The Canada Border Services Agency also said it had sent one more of the alleged officials to the Immigration and Refugee Board for a deportation hearing.

Seven deportation hearings are now underway against suspected senior Iranian regime members, in addition to two that have already resulted in deportation orders.

Happens too often to be coincidence.

Trudeau gov’t wants $411 million more to cover health care as the number of replacement migrants soars

Feds want $411 million to cover refugee health care as the number of new arrivals soars

The federal government is asking Parliament to approve hundreds of millions of dollars in new spending to cover the health-care costs of eligible refugees and asylum seekers — a budget line item that has soared in recent years as the number of these newcomers reached record highs.

The Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) is designed to cover migrants who don’t yet qualify for provincial or territorial medicare. By removing some barriers to health care, the program makes it easier for refugees — many of them fleeing conflict or persecution abroad — to get the care they need on arrival.
