Canada threw open its doors to visitors after the pandemic. Now, many don’t want to leave
A special program Canada brought in last year to make it easier for tourists, business travellers and those with relatives in this country to visit has led to some unexpected consequences.
Newly obtained documents show that a striking percentage of people who took advantage of the expedited visitor visas that the program offered have now applied to stay here — as asylum seekers.
It’s a situation, some say, that reflects among other things the pent-up demand for asylum created during the pandemic, when the border was closed.
Just another loophole created by the Trudeau government to flood the country.
WTF?

Columbia’s anti-Israel mob is backed by a George Soros fund
Far left groups supporting the Columbia students’ sit in include a group that supported the Hamas attack of October 7 and a George Soros fund.
Tensions continue to escalate at the Ivy League school where hundreds of pro-Palestine protesters are demanding that the institution divest from companies with ties to Israel.
So far, more than 100 demonstrators have been arrested at the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’, which is comprised of a coalition of 116 groups under the umbrella organization Columbia University Apartheid Divest.
Awesome!

Stop the Mideast Money Fueling Campus Anti-Semitism
Combating the anti-Semitism radiating from U.S. college campuses will require work on many fronts. Some of the drivers could take enormous effort to uproot—for example, the DEI culture that has reshaped K–12 and postsecondary institutions. A less frequently discussed factor is easier to address: U.S. universities should stop letting foreign entities shape campus intellectual life.
Centers dedicated to the study of the Middle East, many receiving lavish foreign financial support, do more to promote anti-Zionist and pro-Hamas narratives than virtually any other force on campus. Even a small number of biased faculty can have an outsize influence because the dominant intersectional ideologies leave students primed to embrace anti-Semitic attitudes.
RCMP alleges two Mohammedans formerly employed by the UN sold weapons, drones to Libya
MONTREAL – The Royal Canadian Mounted Police says two former United Nations employees in Montreal have been charged after they allegedly took part in a conspiracy to illegally sell Chinese-made drones and other military equipment to Libya.
The RCMP says Fathi Ben Ahmed Mhaouek, who is 61 and lives in the Montreal suburb of Sainte-Catherine, Que., has been arrested and is expected to appear in a Montreal court today.
Police say his alleged accomplice, Mahmud Mohamed Elsuwaye Sayeh, 37, remains on the run and INTERPOL has issued an alert to police around the world.
Many Culprits Behind Rise of Antisemitism, Including the Media
Over the last several years, Canadian employers have increasingly brought in “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) trainers to rid their workforces of conscious, and even subconscious, racism. On the face of it, who can object to diversity, equity and inclusion? It is like objecting to Santa Claus.
Unfortunately, these workshops too often have been hijacked by radical ideologues who pitted races against each other. The unhappy story of Richard Bilkszto, who committed suicide after alleging he was deemed a racist by one such trainer for observing that Canadians are not more racist than Americans, was simply the publicly exposed tip of that iceberg.
White people must never have been the target of DEI programs if this article is to be believed.
The author has likely never heard of the ADL I suppose.
More right than he knows to include the media.
Andrew MacDougall: Trudeau Liberals can’t put out the economic fires they created
As the parent of young children, I do appreciate it when they try to clean up their mess after a long day of play. But I’m not sure how pleased Canadians will be with the Liberal clean-up efforts outlined in this week’s budget after nine long years of government toying with Canada.
39 Times Facebook Interfered in US Elections Since 2008
If Facebook, the company, had a personal Facebook profile, its “relationship status” with free speech would say, “It’s complicated.” The platform, however, has consistently courted election interference efforts.
MRC Free Speech America researchers compiled 39 times Facebook was caught interfering in U.S. elections since 2008. The platform’s record of election-interfering censorship began in 2012, reached a crescendo in 2020 and has begun fading somewhat in the early stages of the 2024 electoral cycle. All the while, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly made pro-free speech comments including during his famous 2019 speech at Georgetown University.
Jewish groups call for end to funding for Edmonton Pride centre over its response to Hamas attack
Jewish organizations are calling for funding to be stripped from the Pride Centre of Edmonton, arguing that its “egregious” conduct since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel ought to disqualify it from government support.
The demand — and flurry of behind the scenes emails — hint at how tensions over Israel’s war on Hamas is affecting civil society relationships in Canada.
Stacey Leavitt-Wright, the CEO of the Jewish Federation of Edmonton, said in an interview that the Jewish community had attempted to schedule a meeting with the Pride centre to discuss the centre’s social media postings and the sense that it was no longer a safe space for the city’s Jews.
St George’s Day rally in London descends into chaos
A St George’s Day rally in London descended into chaos today as riot officers clashed with crowds and a police horse was attacked near Downing Street.
Mounted police intervened after a group broke through a cordon formed to stop people moving past the area that had been allocated for the event.
This led to scuffles breaking out, with footage appearing to show one of the horses being struck by a man with an umbrella.
Metropolitan police deployed in full riot gear to stop a march of English people waving English flags as they celebrate St Georges Day. 🏴
Contrastingly, riot police are never seen being deployed for any of the pro-Hamas hate marches.

Harewood says actors should be allowed to use blackface
Actor David Harewood has said actors “should be able to do anything” – including use blackface to portray black characters.

Tommy Robinson Cleared as Judge Rules Protest Ban Was ‘Unlawful‘
… The case centred around a pro-Israel demonstration organised by the Campaign Against Antisemitism in central London on November 26th. According to reports, the organisation had contacted police to request Robinson be barred from attending the demonstration, despite the activist’s longstanding public support for Israel and the Jewish people.
The CEO of the Campaign Against Antisemitism CEO Gideon Falter — who grabbed headlines last week after police barred him from approaching a pro-Palestinian protest — said of the move to try to block Robinson from their November 26th rally: “No one wants to march with Tommy Robinson” adding that they hoped the police would prevent him from attending.

Peel police chief met Sri Lankan officer a court says ‘participated’ in torture
The head of one of Canada’s largest police forces met with a Sri Lankan inspector general of police who two weeks earlier had been found by the South Asian country’s highest court to have “participated in the torture” of an arrested man.
Photos published by Sri Lankan media, including the Ceylon Today, an English-language daily newspaper, show Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah in uniform posing alongside senior Sri Lankan officers on Dec. 29, 2023 at police headquarters in the capital Colombo – a visit a Peel police spokesperson says Global Affairs Canada and the RCMP had been made aware of ahead of time.
