Poilievre stands firmly with the UNIPARTY’s destructive mass immigration policy and is likely to fuck over Canadians as thoroughly as any Liberal or Commie

John Ivison: As immigration doubts grow, Poilievre keeps the faith

In mid-May, Bloc Québecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet put his Conservative counterpart, Pierre Poilievre, in a ticklish spot.

The Bloc introduced a motion denouncing the goal of an organization called the Century Initiative — co-founded by former ambassador to China Dominic Barton — to increase Canada’s population to 100 million by 2100. It is a goal consistent with the federal government’s immigration intake targets, the motion said; a goal that would diminish the French language and Quebec’s political weight, as well as adversely impact housing and health-care availability.

Should US Troops Stay in Syria?

A Syrian website run by opponents of the Assad regime recently reported that in early June that Russian military officials in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor Province met with Iranian operatives. The primary agenda of the Russian-Iranian meeting was reportedly “to discuss expelling the United States from Syria, which may indicate Russia’s intent to facilitate Iranian-backed attacks on US forces.”

After a series of Iran-directed attacks on U.S. military outposts in Syria and the kinetic responses from American forces, leaked documents indicate that Iran is planning to target US armored vehicles in Syria by with remotely-detonated roadside bombs.

Jen Psaki Claims GOP ‘Recruiting’ Muslims to ‘Go After’ Trans People

This Sunday was no different as the former Biden administration Press Secretary concocted a bizarre conspiracy theory that the Republican Party is rehashing the so-called “southern strategy” (which itself is a debunked conspiracy theory) to “recruit” Muslim Americans to “go after” transgender people.

More than 1,500 lobbyists in the US are working on behalf of fossil-fuel companies while at the same time representing hundreds of liberal-run cities, universities, technology companies and environmental groups that say they are tackling the climate crisis, the Guardian can reveal.

The conservative movie critic taking on Hollywood’s ‘woke bilge’

Tired of movie critics falling over themselves to praise ‘box-ticking’ box office duds? Luckily, one lifelong film buff has the antidote

Politics, banking, schools, corporations, the military: the dread woke agenda gets everywhere these days. And regrettably, even film reviews aren’t immune. While writing about the latest cinema releases, critics are increasingly pushing an insidious leftist agenda in their work – the same one being covertly peddled by the Hollywood studios themselves. Or at least, that’s the claim of a small but flourishing new website which has, since February, been trying to bring a very different voice into the mix.
