National Indigenous women’s organization accused of union-busting as it lays off dozens of staff

The most prominent Indigenous women’s organization in Canada is undergoing a federal financial audit where preliminary evidence of “ineligible expenses” was found, while facing union-busting allegations following a mass round of layoffs, CBC News has learned.

The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC), which relies on federal dollars to operate, is battling complaints filed to the Ontario and Quebec labour boards from employees, who allege they were terminated after organizing a union drive.

At the same time, NWAC is letting go of 78 employees — or roughly half its staff — as it blames the federal government for a lack of funding.

Biblical scholar blasts AOC, left-wing pols for claiming Jesus was Palestinian: ‘Rips Jesus out of his Jewish context’

A noted biblical scholar is blasting left-leaning politicians for floating the idea that Jesus Christ was a Palestinian — calling the notion “inflammatory” and saying liberals have “mischaracterized reality.”

“This Easter, let’s not try to pretend Jesus was a ‘Palestinian Jew,’” Boston University scholar Paula Fredriksen wrote in an op-ed piece published by the Washington Post last week.

Frankly I’m surprised WAPO published the piece.

Trudeau urged to call ’emergency meeting’ on carbon price by N.L. premier

Liberal Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to call an “emergency meeting of leaders from across the country” to talk about potential alternatives to the federal carbon price increasing to $80 per tonne.

The annual increase took effect on Monday, rising from $65 per tonne. At the pumps, this translates to the carbon price on fuel rising from about $0.14 to almost $0.18.

Inside the ‘bodies corridor’ – where Russia and Ukraine meet to swap their dead

The convoy snaked through Ukraine’s north-eastern Sumy region on a bitter February morning.

A police car led the way, followed by a unit of forensic officials and a refrigerated van containing the corpses of dozens of Russian soldiers.

The delegation was travelling into Russian territory for one of the only functioning levels of diplomacy between Kyiv and Moscow: the exchange of dead bodies from either side.

On foreign interference, Canada has been a sitting duck

The opening day of the second round of public hearings of the Foreign Interference Commission – and the first to get at the meat of the issue – was about as heart-rending as might be imagined.

Foreign interference, as we have been learning, takes many forms: not just the election meddling that was the proximate cause of the inquiry, but propaganda and disinformation, spying and – the subject of Wednesday’s hearing – intimidation.

If the goal is to make us poorer, Trudeau’s carbon tax is a stunning success

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended the rising costs of his climate policies in the face of mounting criticism from around the country by declaring, “My job is not to be popular.” He added, “My job is to do the right things for Canada now and do the right things for Canadians a generation from now and that’s what I’ve been focused on.”

Such comments are suggestive of a martyr complex, sacrificing popularity on the altar of righteousness. In truth, the climate file is Trudeau’s vanity project and the hill on which he is prepared to die.

Denver City official Andres Carrea urged migrants to travel to New York or Chicago for better benefits

A Denver city official begged migrant families to move on to other sanctuary cities like New York and Chicago, warning them that a lack of resources in Colorado would cause them to ‘suffer.’

‘The opportunities are over,’ Carrera says in Spanish. ‘New York gives you more. Chicago gives you more. So I suggest you go there where there is longer-term shelter. There are also more job opportunities there.’
