Do protests like the University of Toronto encampment actually change policy or minds? Poll finds Canadians skeptical

As pro-Palestinian protesters continue their encampments at universities across Canada and the United States, a new poll sheds light on what Canadians think about the value of protests, generally, and of their ability to effect change.

While the vast majority of respondents say protests are effective at raising awareness, far fewer say they believe the demonstrations can actually change the positions of governments or institutions — and even fewer say they think protests can sway the opinions of people on the other side of an issue, according to a new poll from the Angus Reid Institute released Tuesday.

Gee I am much more sympathetic to Hamas since they explained their baby killing.

India Wouldn’t Let Trudeau’s Plane Land Until He Agreed To Meeting About Harboring Sikh Extremists In Canada

India forced meeting about Sikh activists by keeping Trudeau’s plane in air during 2018 trip

India refused to let Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plane land during a visit in 2018 unless he and his defence minister agreed to meet with a government official to air grievances about Sikh separatists in Canada, including Hardeep Singh Nijjar, according to a source with direct knowledge.

During the meeting, India’s minister for the Punjab, Captain Amarinder Singh, handed Mr. Trudeau and then-defence minister Harjit Sajjan a dossier containing the names of about 10 Sikh activists whose activities the Indian government wanted curtailed, the source said.

Just how far is Pierre Poilievre willing to take the notwithstanding clause?

In January, the Federal Court found that the Trudeau government’s use of the Emergencies Act to respond to the protests of the self-styled freedom convoy in 2022 was not properly justified — a decision the federal government is now appealing.

At the time, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre celebrated that ruling.

“Today, in a landmark victory for the freedoms of Canadians, the Federal Court ruled that Trudeau broke the highest law in the land,” he said in a prepared statement, apparently referring to the Charter of Rights and Freedom.

At least one America-hating vandal torched Old Glory at the site of the 107th Infantry Memorial, the base of which was defaced with graffiti reading “Gaza” in large black letters.

Canada’s Captains Of Industry Are Abusing The Temporary Foreign Workers Scam? I Am Shocked!

Fines mounting for violations in Canada’s temporary foreign worker programs

The federal government penalized nearly 200 companies last year for violating the rules of its temporary foreign worker programs, resulting in record fines for infractions such as wage theft and abuse in the workplace.

Ottawa reached 194 decisions against non-compliant employers in 2023 and handed out $2.7-million in penalties, an average of $13,800 per decision, according to a Globe and Mail analysis of figures published by the government. Some employers have also been suspended from hiring temporary labour from outside the country.

But how else will they depress wages?
