Terry Glavin: Why we may have finally reached a tipping point on Chinese interference

“The Chinese community here is frightened by the Chinese government, even though they are in Canada … A lot of Chinese organizations or social groups are very close to the consulate and to the embassy. Why is that? It’s not because they don’t understand the values, or they don’t trust or agree with the values. It’s just because they are so frightened. They know that the Chinese government is so brutal they could do anything.”

If you thought that those words appeared in some news story over the past few days, perhaps in an interview with a Canadian Security and Intelligence Service whistleblower speaking anonymously out of fear of prosecution under the Security of Information Act, you’d have guessed wrong.

Trudeau’s immigration policy worsening housing affordability crisis: Rosenberg

Starter sod huts now out of reach for working peasants.

Ottawa’s lofty immigration targets are exacerbating Canada’s housing affordability crisis that could create an “unstable situation” while possibly jeopardizing the Liberals’ re-election, according to Bay Street economist David Rosenberg.

“A nation where folks in their 30s are crowded out of the housing market because of an elongated period of excessive home price inflation that is the result of federal government policy is not a very happy nation,” he said in his widely read Breakfast with Dave newsletter on May 3. “This will all come out in the wash in the next election, and if I were in opposition, this is the card I would be playing.”


In a sane nation the opposition would play that housing crunch card but this is Canada and we have a Uniparty not an opposition which is all in with ruinous mass immigration.

Worms and grasshoppers for lunch at prestigious £20,000 a year girls’ school

North London School – Well Bred Young Bug Eaters

“Eco-nuttery really is a fad of the upperclass”

For many people, the phrase “school dinners” conjures up images of congealed custard, cornflake tart or a ubiquitous sponge topped with hundreds and thousands.

But eco-conscious pupils at one of the country’s most prestigious private girls’ schools will be able to sample more exotic fare such as worms, crickets and grasshoppers as part of a trial menu.

A heavy dose of reality for electric-truck mandates

… After one trucking company tried to electrify just 30 trucks at a terminal in Joliet, Illinois, local officials shut those plans down, saying they would draw more electricity than is needed to power the entire city.

A California company tried to electrify 12 forklifts. Not trucks, but forklifts. Local power utilities told them that’s not possible.

And it gets worse…

The public-private pay gap remains

The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) walkout that essentially ended Monday had been brewing since last fall, when PSAC president Chris Aylward declared : “The government can’t expect workers who have been getting us through the pandemic to shoulder the costs of Canada’s recovery.”

Shoulder the costs of Canada’s recovery? Aylward’s PSAC members not only were paid full salary during the pandemic but also thereby added two more years to their generous pension benefits. What about all the private-sector workers who either lost their jobs or were forced to work part-time for lower wages and fewer or no benefits? Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey shows that all of the country’s 206,000 job losses during the pandemic were private-sector workers, while public-sector employment increased by 305,000.

Bud Light to give a FREE case of beer to every wholesale employee as it begs for forgiveness after Dylan Mulvaney fiasco

Bud Light has resorted to handing out free beer as the brand’s efforts to squash the backlash to its Dylan Mulvaney deal become increasingly desperate.

Bosses have also promised to boost marketing spending and ramp up ad production after an industry expert said Bud’s ‘compass is completely broken’ over its failure to deal with the fallout.

Sales of Bud Light are in free fall after its disastrous partnership with Mulvaney, 26, which was announced in March. The controversial trans influencer was sent a can with her face on it to celebrate a year since she transitioned from male to female.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Trudeau Foundation so arrogant, it thought it was influencing China

While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insists he has “absolutely no intersection” with the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation, the nonprofit uncannily mirrors the worst characteristics and impulses of his Liberal government. Chief among them, hubris.

On Tuesday, the foundation’s former president and CEO Morris Rosenberg testified in front of the House of Commons privacy and ethics committee about the now-infamous $200,000 donation it accepted with links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Rosenberg led the nonprofit at the time and would like MPs and Canadians to write off the controversy as little more than good old-fashioned naivete rather than reckless arrogance.

When will Trudeau kick out China’s diplomats attacking Canada?

At what point do we start kicking out China’s diplomats for interfering in Canada’s domestic affairs?

Given that the diplomat who was orchestrating efforts to target the family of an MP is still in Canada, still on the government’s list of diplomats, there is nothing China can do that will see the Trudeau government act.

Canada Is On Track To Smash Last Year’s Immigration Record

Vicious idiots run Canada

Canada’s housing crisis might be getting a lot more intense with its population boom accelerating even faster than its previous record. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) data shows permanent residents were up significantly in February. Beating last year’s record growth isn’t easy, but it’s on track to easily surpass the growth.

… Typical immigration and economic hubs are the intended destinations for permanent residents. Ontario managed to capture the largest share (41% of the total), in line with its typical share. It was followed by BC (17%), and Alberta (12%)—both capturing large but significantly smaller shares of the total.

The great papal cover-up

As readers of this esteemed publication would be aware, in 2018, the Vatican signed a provisional agreement with the Chinese Communist Party on the appointment of Catholic bishops. In doing so, the Vatican recognised the Chinese ‘Patriotic Church’, set up and controlled by the CCP.

Indeed, the late Cardinal Pell, in the ‘Demos’ document attributed to him, stated that under the 2018 secret Vatican-China pact, there had been ‘no public support for the loyal Catholics in China who have been intermittently persecuted for their loyalty to the Papacy for more than 70 years’.
