Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is now stepping into the immigration numbers debate, with a proposal to tie the number of newcomers welcomed to Canada with the ability of housing and infrastructure to support them.
It’s a conversation that needs to be had, because right now communities all across Canada are struggling to serve the needs of both their current population base and the needs of newcomers.
Donald Trump’s re-election poses a “fundamental” challenge to Europe, according to the leader of the world’s largest asset manager.
Philipp Hildebrand, vice chairman at Blackrock, said the re-election of the former US President “would challenge Europe fundamentally” following a decades-long dependence on America for leadership on the world stage.
Mr Hildebrand, who has served in the position since 2012, was responding to comments last week from Christine Lagarde, the head of the European Central Bank (ECB), who said Mr Trump posed a “clear threat” to Europe because of his divergent views on climate change and trade policy.
That is the sound of Elite panic.
Just when you thought it was safe to write off Davos as irremediably dull — think Antony Blinken with a side order of Tom Friedman — along comes the self-described “anarcho-capitalist” president of Argentina, Javier Milei, to shake up the Swiss town with a one-two punch to what he perceives to be the “socialist agenda” of various elites.
The tirade came in the form of a half-hour long speech to a full house of policy wonks and boldfaced names in the business world who were advised by Mr. Milei to choose freedom over socialist-style state control, “dammit.”
President Milei just went to the WEF and called out the Davos elites to their faces

At a time when the western world desperately needs some backbone, Canada seems to be swaying. It appears to have moved away from its long-term commitment to protect our now wobbling western civilization. This can be seen in how Canada deals with its defence responsibilities, its flaccid stand on Israel and in its belief in the value of its own existence.
This is dystopian. @MilfordRegional just announced new policies that can deny you care if you use “unwelcome words” such as micro-aggressions related to race and gender.
They would probably kick you out for misgendering, or saying men can’t get pregnant and there are only 2… pic.twitter.com/kWxoPujp85

Immigration Minister Marc Miller made the media rounds on the weekend promising to think about – maybe, perhaps, possibly – capping the number of international students Canada accepts, and pinning the blame for an “out of control” problem on others.
“Well, we’ll consider it. We’ll consider it, and we’ll continue to consider it,” Mr. Miller told CTV’s Question Period. “If provinces don’t do their jobs, we’re ready to do it.”

The US dismissed warnings of an Islamist attack before 9/11, Israel dismissed warnings of a Hamas attack before 10/7, and Europe is making the same mistake.
The video comes from Birmingham, 1 and a half million inhabitants, the second largest city in England, 30 percent Islamic. An entire stadium shouting the Islamic takbir, the submission cry of the “infidels”.
Wikipedia: Takbir is a call to glorify Allah. Takbir is the Arabic term for the phrase Allahu Akbar, meaning “Allah is the greatest.”
Already in 2015 Reuters defined Birmingham as the “English Mecca”. And two years later the New York Times wondered why many English jihadists come from Birmingham. Yes, who knows why.
New thermal video footage has been released, revealing an incursion of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) into a United States Joint Operations base.
The UAP was tracked by the U.S. and allied nations as part of an intelligence operation over Iraq in 2017.
Canada’s immigration policies are damaging the economy. That’s the finding of Canada’s top bank economists, who issued a dire warning to the federal government. By admitting 455,000 new permanent residents and more than 800,000 non-permanent residents last year, Canada is on the brink of a recession, or worse. “I’ll put it bluntly: We’ve fallen into the population trap,” said Stéfane Marion, chief economist at National Bank of Canada. An increase in the standard of living is no longer possible because “you don’t have enough savings to stabilize your capital to labour ratio.”
Until the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s daughter, it was a name associated with only one woman in the world.
For decades “Lilibet” had been the late Queen’s cherished nickname – used only by those closest to the former monarch.
Yet the rekindled row over Harry and Meghan christening their daughter “Lilibet” in 2021 lays bare the significance of a moniker first ascribed to Princess Elizabeth when she was a toddler and couldn’t pronounce her own name.
In New York, as in the Belgian parliament, you can meet more and more people who are convinced that the Islamization of Brussels — and London and other capitals, they often add — is now inevitable and only a matter of time.
The growth of the Muslim population in Brussels has been both enormous and meteoric. Over the past 50 years, the number of Muslims has grown steadily, and given the erasure of Europe’s borders, thanks to the 1985 Schengen Agreement, there seems to be no end in sight.
“The only man I was ever afraid of was a woman named Griselda Blanco.” This is what infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar allegedly once said about the person who created one of the most profitable cartels in history.
A woman who had people murdered because “she didn’t like the way they looked at her”, Blanco was a ruthless criminal mastermind whose name was one of the most feared in 1970s and 80s Miami.
Now the notorious drug lord has had a Hollywood makeover as Modern Family’s Sofía Vergara joins forces with the team behind crime drama Narcos to play the leader of the criminal underworld.
I watched a documentary on Griselda she was an ugly psycopath. Much as I like Sofia I don’t think she is right for the role.
Now that Rachel Notley has announced her resignation as leader of the Alberta NDP, expect her party to return to its traditional distant-second status.
Not as distant as it used to be, but not within sniffing distance of government again, either.
