Joly says about 45,000 Canadians in Lebanon; she’s concerned about pager explosions

OTTAWA – Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says close to 45,000 Canadians are in Lebanon, months after warning there is no guarantee Ottawa can evacuate them if the situation deteriorates further.

She is also expressing concern that attacks like exploding pagers are only making the situation worse.

I wonder how many of those so called “Canadians” are Hezbollah members?

Shocking anti-white bias of BC taxpayer-funded help service

Now showing more anti white bullshit

A taxpayer-funded office set up to help vulnerable Canadians has an anti-white bias and hired a non-binary lawyer who helped bully out one of its staffers, it is claimed.

Nick Osmond-Jones had worked for the British Columbia Ombudsperson for eleven years but was fired after he leaked slides from a woke lecture claiming Canada had inspired the Holocaust.

In a lengthy article for Quillette, Osmond-Jones, a married father to four children, details how he believed saw the service changing before his eyes.  It was set up to help tackle complaints from ordinary Canadians who felt mistreated by public services, but ended up descending into an Orwellian ‘equity’-obsessed nightmare, Osmond-Jones claims.

Taking aim at bike lanes, Premier Doug Ford’s government is planning to introduce legislation next month that would limit the construction of new ones by overriding municipal powers in a controversial effort to ease gridlock.

The measure is one of several, including 24-7 construction for new highway projects like the 413 from Milton to Highway 400, in the proposed “Reducing Gridlock and Saving You Time Act,” sources told the Star on Friday.

I’m sure Chairman Chow will have something to say , she hates that people own cars and other nice things.
