Each minute of inaction is itself its own scandal. For about a week now, the Canadian public has been aware that individuals believed to have colluded with foreign governments may continue to serve as senators, staffers and/or members of Parliament. And for about a week now, those with the power to do something have done nothing.
Personally I don’t trust Drinky May …
Elizabeth May sees no traitors around her, and at least she read the report
A recent survey has attempted to quantify what Belgians feel towards Jews, a small minority representing 0.3% of the country’s population.
According to an IPSOS poll, 14% of Belgians express an aversion to Jews, twice as many as the French. This figure rises to 22% in Brussels, the capital, which is also the capital of European Union, where 11% of the population have sympathy for Hamas.

As Canada aims to build homes faster, both the public and private sectors will need to boost spending on municipal infrastructure, a new report from the Canadian Urban Institute says.
The report, funded by the Canada Infrastructure Bank, estimated the average cost of infrastructure needed to support housing likely exceeds $100,000 for each newly built home. That includes funding for resources such as public transit, roads, water lines, schools, fire halls or recreational facilities
Welcome to Woke of the Weak, where I’ll update you about the most woke, progressive, insane, and crazy clips and stories that the left thinks is tolerable and well, point out why exactly they’re nuts.
This week we examined some of the Pride parades that erupted across the nation. One was in Washington D.C. and featured nearly naked men marching down the street for little kids to see. A different clip from the D.C. Pride Parade featured what looked like a twerk-off.
Some first-year students attending the University of Guelph may have trouble finding a place to stay during the semester.
The university recently announced that over 7,000 high school students across Ontario who had applied for programs at U of G have accepted offers of admission.
Back in April, Joe Biden, following in Barack Obama’s footsteps, unilaterally changed Title IX, which protects women and girls from discrimination in education, by reinterpreting the law to treat “gender identity” the same as biological sex. This move allowed biological males to play women’s sports and gave them access to scholarships intended for women, as well as women’s locker rooms, private spaces, and single-sex housing.
Everybody’s talking about Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s bizarre Sunday attempt to justify the inbound Liberal capital gains tax hike, which was first announced in April and which goes into effect June 25. Although maybe a better verb than “announced” would be “sprung.” The increase in the income inclusion rate on the tax looks an awful lot, as analysts have pointed out, like a last-minute and desperate attempt to artificially boost the federal government’s woeful fiscal condition.
Sir Keir Starmer is standing by a pledge to ban new drilling in the North Sea, despite New Zealand abandoning a similar policy amid blackout fears.
Labour’s manifesto, due out on Thursday, will feature a pledge to block all new licensing for oil and gas as one of its key energy policies.
The party “will not be issuing licences to explore new [oil and gas] fields as we accelerate to clean power”, a Labour spokesman confirmed on Tuesday.
Canada is the only one of 32 member nations not to publicly release a plan to meet the target
One of the country’s leading business voices is warning that Canada faces “diplomatic isolation” if it’s not prepared to deliver a concrete plan next month to raise defence spending to meet NATO’s benchmark.
The Business Council of Canada — which has been wading more and more into the debate on national security lately — made the assessment in a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The letter comes as both NATO defence ministers and G7 leaders prepare to gather at separate meetings in Europe, and as leaders of the NATO alliance nations get ready for a summit in Washington, D.C. next month.
We are a Clown State.
The Disney Grooming Syndicate’s latest piece of Star Wars gay fanfic is a streaming series called The Acolyte, and Normal People hate it more than any other Star Wars streaming series on Disney+.
The federal government’s contracting practices made headline news again with Auditor-General Karen Hogan finding frequent rule violations in the $200-million in contracts awarded to consulting firm McKinsey & Company since 2011.
Ms. Hogan’s report went on to state that many of the contracts “did not demonstrate value for money.”
Sound familiar? The government is already battling months of bad press over the development of its much-criticized $54-million COVID-19 travel app, ArriveCan.
So many scandals you need a cheat sheet to keep up.
In three years, Stephen Watson, the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police (GMP), has turned a failing force that was on its knees into the one rated most improved by the official police watchdog.
However, Watson, 55, is clear that he is not finished. In the two years he has left on his contract, he is aiming to transform GMP into the best force in the country. That means being rated by HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary as “good in all things and outstanding in some,” he says.
The stakes are high in a looming June 24 federal byelection in a long-held Liberal riding in Toronto, and if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s party shows signs of slipping, it could spark a bigger conversation, pollster Nik Nanos(opens in a new tab) says.
“I think a lot of people are going to be reading the entrails on this because we are getting closer to the election. Byelections are sometimes referendums on the government of the day,” Nanos said on the latest episode of CTV News’ Trend Line.
“If it’s close, that’ll create for some … nervous Nellies in the Liberal caucus, and it’s going to be interesting to see what happens.”
It’s an ultra safe seat and Toronto voters are ideological nitwits.
The World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday blamed alcohol, tobacco, ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and fossil fuels for causing 2.7 million deaths a year in Europe.
In a report, titled “Commercial determinants of noncommunicable diseases in the WHO European Region,” the global health body called for “strict regulation to curb industry power” and promote public health.
These “four industries kill at least 7,000 people in our region every day,” Hans Kluge, the director of the WHO Europe region, said in a statement.
WHO is a wholly owned subsidiary of the CCP.
