John Ivison: Eco-activist Liberal ministers could ruin a $300M lifeline for a struggling First Nation

The decision on whether to renew salmon farming licenses on the West Coast that will come before the federal cabinet on Tuesday is a microcosm of the struggle between the environment and the economy that has bedeviled the Liberal government ever since it promised to balance these competing interests in 2015. The predicament facing the Ehattesaht First Nation on Vancouver Island’s West Coast is its compelling symbol: The band has hanging in the balance a new $300-million salmon-farming opportunity that could help it out of deepening economic and social hopelessness, but it could all be scuppered by environmentally activist ministers.

Trudeau plans to F*ck Canadians over and let illegal alien invaders stay

Plan to let undocumented migrants stay in Canada to be examined by PM, ministers

The federal cabinet could discuss plans as early as next week to provide a path to citizenship for thousands of migrants living in Canada without valid documents, including rejected asylum seekers, so they can remain here legally.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller is preparing a plan for discussion by cabinet before Parliament breaks for its summer recess within weeks.

It would propose that people living in Canada without legal status – including former international students whose study permits have expired – have a chance to apply to regularize their position and gain permanent residence.

This says Trudeau wants to cause as much harm as possible before he gets the boot.

Believe it or not, Hollywood is making a movie about career criminal Saint George Floyd

HOLLYWOOD, CA – The far left is going out of its way to make sure that the American people never even think about putting the memory of George Floyd in the trash heap of history where it belongs. Breitbart News reports that Hollywood is going to produce a movie about the drug-addicted, crime-riddled life of Floyd, whose death in the custody of Minneapolis police officers sparked a “summer of love”…otherwise known as a summer of deadly riots, four years ago.

Cynthia voted for Nelson Mandela. Now she’s abandoning his successors

They were shadow people, moving beyond the light of small fires on a winter dawn. There was no hint then that I was about to encounter one of the most extraordinary sights of my time in South Africa.

In this part of the country, winter is a cold, dry season that burns the veld brown. The ground is hard like flint and when the wind blows across the plains, dust covers the squatters and all that they carry.

I could hear digging, and coming closer I saw a woman hacking at the earth. Nearby other men and women were doing the same thing. They had old garden tools, machetes, pieces of stone, anything to make holes into which they placed pieces of plastic, tin and wood.

I asked the woman what she was doing. “We are hiding our shacks,” she told me.

CHARLEBOIS: Canada’s Competition Bureau takes a stand, finally!

The recent move by Canada’s Competition Bureau to investigate the parent companies of grocery giants Loblaws and Sobeys marks a significant step in addressing anticompetitive behaviour in the retail grocery sector.

This investigation, initiated on March 1, focuses on the alleged use of property controls by these firms, which purportedly restrict competition through their lease agreements and control over land vacancies. With these two companies holding a combined market share of over 50% in the Canadian food retailing market, the potential implications are substantial.

I posted the CBC’s take on the investigation earlier and it drew criticism suggesting restrictive covenants are a fit and proper commercial activity designed to protect tenants from loss of income. But why do we see retail clusters as in clothing stores or automobiles where competitors sit cheek by jowl?

Charlebois’s take is a bit more informative on the degree to which such covenants may be distorting the retail grocery market in Canada.

The use of foodbanks has skyrocketed under Trudeau and I do not trust his friend Galen the bread thief to do the right thing.

The Free World: An Alarming Status Report

In the last few years, we have witnessed a world that has become significantly less safe and secure. American and Western policy failures and strategic missteps appear to have emboldened adversaries and undermined allies. A lack of decisive action and coherent strategy has created power vacuums which have been exploited by hostile actors and resulted in increased instability and threats in the West to both national and global security. It seems urgent for the long-term survival of the United States and the Free World – where people enjoy unprecedented freedom of speech, property rights, economic opportunity, religious freedom and other civil liberties – not to accept assaults on these hard-won achievements either at home or abroad.

Cats on the moon? Google’s AI tool is producing misleading responses

Ask Google if cats have been on the moon and it used to spit out a ranked list of websites so you could discover the answer for yourself.

Now it comes up with an instant answer generated by artificial intelligence — which may or may not be correct.

“Yes, astronauts have met cats on the moon, played with them, and provided care,” said Google’s newly retooled search engine in response to a query by an Associated Press reporter.

CSIS warns some LGBTQ2 events, venues may face threats from ‘lone actors’

Canada’s national intelligence agency is warning that “inspired lone actors” could target crowded or unsecured Pride events and LGBTQ2 venues this year, inspired by growing anti-LGBTQ2 rhetoric and incitements online.

The warning comes after the U.S. government issued a worldwide travel advisory last week about threats of potential “foreign terrorist organization-inspired violence” against the LGBTQ2 community.

The US is a little more honest than Canada in declaring the threat comes from “Foreign terrorist organizations.”

Chinese officials and Triads flooding illegal immigrants into United States: Canadian Report

In 1993 a confidential Canadian report from Hong Kong warned that an unprecedented flood of illegal immigration from Mainland China was threatening North America because China’s government was collaborating with drug-smuggling Triads and corrupt Latin American officials in the multi-billion-dollar business of trafficking human cargo into the United States.

A covering memo explained the Consular report was contentious and “highly sensitive” but also included powerful evidence, as U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) had informed Canada a Chinese Communist leader, the Governor of Fujian, had ties with Hong Kong’s largest Triad.

Details of the lengthy study, Passports of Convenience, Corrupt Officials and Triad Involvement in Illegal Immigration, have never been reported.
