WARMINGTON: SIU probing push by Toronto Police that landed bystander in hospital

One thing that’s clear is if you interfere with a police arrest, you may be arrested yourself and perhaps violently.

Federally-funded Anti-Hate Network blacklists Christian pro-life group, claims most hateful group ‘white boys, men’

Federally-subsidized activists claim a Christian pro-life group is a “hate movement” and that most haters are white people, namely white boys and men.

The Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) published its blacklist after receiving $640,000 from Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge’s department and others for “research,” per Blacklock’s Reporter.

It will be so much fun voting Trudeau into oblivion.

Trudeau defends billions spent attracting electric vehicle industry to Canada

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his government’s decision to spend billions attracting electric vehicle manufacturing, arguing some recent slowdowns in the market are just bumps along the road.

“Canada has positioned itself to be a leader in the EV industry and we will continue to be because those are where the jobs are going to be, not just a couple of years from now, but a decade from now, a generation from now,” he said Monday.

Trudeau is a genius ya know.

Élie Cantin-Nantel: Canada’s politics are growing more and more Americanized—and Trudeau’s Liberal Party is the worst offender

It’s hardly a new development that the Liberal Party is accusing the Conservatives of importing “far-right American-style politics” to Canada. But one gets the sense the accusations have ramped up. Comparing Pierre Poilievre to Donald Trump, calling him a “puppet of the American right” and asserting that Canadian Conservatives are captive to Republican thinking has been central to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party’s key political message in recent months.

Islam and the Future of the West

In End of the World: Civilization and Its Fate, philosopher Jon Mills reflects on the Taliban attack with machine guns and explosives on a school in Peshawar, in which 132 schoolchildren were slaughtered. The act is almost incomprehensible. “The immediate dislocation of understanding any rational means behind such atrocities,” he writes “is emotionally unfathomable for the simple fact that it disrupts our psychic need for a moral order in the universe.” It represents a “pathological breach” in our implicit conviction that we live in a civilized world. “It takes only one act of barbarism,” he concludes, “to remind us that evil is no illusion.” Of course, the single act of barbarism can be and is multiplied exponentially all over the world every moment of the day, but there exists one world-historical belief system in which such occasions are both justified and mandated.

Unemployable

Regardless of political affiliation, recent American presidents commonly say that the nation needs to win back manufacturing jobs lost to overseas relocation. “Where is it inscribed that America cannot reclaim its position as the world’s manufacturing hub?” queried President Biden recently. He has pushed for policies that penalize corporations for moving jobs abroad and that incentivize job repatriation. Biden’s predecessor Donald Trump pursued a similar objective with different means, modifying the tax code to encourage companies to bring back profits earned internationally and imposing tariffs to protect domestically produced goods. Despite their ideological differences, both presidents share a similar view on infrastructure and its capacity to create jobs in construction and related sectors. Trump proposed a $1 trillion infrastructure initiative to get Americans back to work as the Covid pandemic waned; Biden enacted a program allocating approximately $550 billion toward local infrastructure projects.

Hamilton looks for new ways to deal with encampments, including getting people into tiny housing

Hamilton is studying ways to provide sanctioned outdoor housing in the Southern Ontario city to alleviate a worsening homeless crisis that has surpassed the capacity of its shelter system, potentially through legal encampments or by building small cabins or tiny homes.

The city created a protocol last year allowing encampments of limited size on public property, with a rule of five tents per encampment and a minimum distance from places such as highways, schools and daycares, as well as any private property. But Mayor Andrea Horwath said she wants the city to go further.


I question the implied success rate of transitions from “Tiny Homes” to regular housing given the rental rate crisis in Canada and the shortage of public housing.

“Housing First” has not been the hoped for success in the US it was hoped to be.

A drug addict is still an addict whether in a tent or tiny home.

Dhimmi Britain Sinks into Authoritarianism, Death to Free Speech

Barely a month after the elections, and the new Labour Party government is dragging Britain into serious civil conflict, while destroying the preciously little that remains of British freedoms, especially freedom of speech.

The teenage son of a Rwandan migrant family stabbed three little girls to death at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop in Southport, a city near Liverpool, on July 29. The murders triggered protests and riots by Britons who have apparently had enough.

The dark side of investor-driven housing

Real estate investment is a way of life in Vancouver, with investors – people who don’t reside in the homes they own – representing close to half of the condo market.

In recent years, Toronto has pretty much caught up, with a 28 per cent increase in all investor-owned condos from 2019 to 2022. Vancouver held steady, with a 10 per cent increase in the same time frame, according to new data from the Canadian Housing Statistics Program. In 2019, the CHSP began releasing data on properties that were “not owner occupied.” According to the new release, 43 per cent of Toronto condos are investor-owned. In Vancouver, it’s 46 per cent.

In raw numbers, Toronto’s investor-owned properties outnumber those of Vancouver. In 2022, Toronto investor condos numbered 140,435. In the city of Vancouver, the number was 47,585.

Beijing Tim

Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s brand-new VP pick, is a fanatical far-left lunatic wearing the friendly armor of hapless, bloated oaf from the sticks.

He’s America’s Dad. A patriotic National Guardsman. The hokey, folksy, small town hick made good. He’s not weird—he’s totally normal. He’s the inspiring Friday Night Lights football coach to a ragtag gang of kids. The beloved longtime social studies teacher. Just a regular guy. Why, shucks—Tim Walz is just plain as American as apple pie!

How Ukraine’s ‘white triangle’ invasion stunned Putin

As Ukrainian armoured vehicles maraud around the Russian countryside, they all sport the same symbol – a white triangle.

Tanks, trucks and Nato military equipment bearing the marking, daubed in paint or stuck on with tape, have forced the evacuation of some 180,000 Russian citizens from their homes.

It has been enough for some to brand the first invasion of Russian soil since the Second World War “operation triangle”.
