Justin Trudeau wants Canadians to know they can have confidence in our democracy and institutions despite claims of election interference by China.
Trudeau turned down a call for public inquiry again Friday, the day after a Commons committee voted in favour of an inquiry.

CHAMPLAIN, New York — Migrants are crossing the northern border both into the U.S. and into Canada illegally, causing chaos on both the Canadian and American sides, with the latter side reeling from the costs.
Border Patrol encountered a nearly 900% surge of migrants into the U.S. in the Swanton sector—which spans parts of New York and Vermont—in January, when agents recorded 367 apprehensions. Migrants are also crossing illegally into Canada in droves along Roxham Road in Champlain, New York, where taxis with “frontera,” or “border” written in Spanish, on them, bring people back and forth for hours every day.

“I would put the threat level at about eight out of 10. That’s mainly because the Chinese authorities are absolutely determined to achieve their goals, no matter what people think. I’m particularly concerned about their willingness to use almost any method to succeed.”
It was May 3, 2021, at a meeting of the House of Commons special committee on Canada-China relations, and Richard Fadden, former director of CSIS, had been asked by Conservative MP Pierre Paul-Hus how he would rate the threat posed by China to Canada’s economy, national security and defence.

As the bewilderingly overpraised Everything Everywhere At Once continues its inevitable march to Best Picture at the Oscars, many of the films that were once tipped to defeat it have slipped away. The Banshees of Inisherin, Top Gun: Maverick, Tár — all have settled into their time-honored place of being forever the Academy’s bridesmaid and not the triumphant bride.
Yet almost out of nowhere, Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front has emerged as a serious contender. It swept the BAFTA awards in February, and with nine Oscar nominations, including Best Film, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Adapted Screenplay, it looks certain to win at least a couple of them. Not bad for a two-and-half-hour adaptation of a 1929 German novel.
A friend and I had a discussion about the “missing something” from this remake.
Certainly they strayed too far from the book, but what struck me was how little empathy I had for Paul or any of the characters.
The original was sentimental, syrupy even but how else was Hollywood to stir sympathy for characters that were your mortal enemy only 12 years before?
Who didn’t love original Kat? In the latest version the friendship just seemed shallow and forced.
Nice to look at but it left an empty feeling at the end.
That was thunder.

In the 21st-century West, there are far more advantages to being black than being white.
A prominent Muslim activist, called ‘Raquel Saraswati’, has just resigned from her role as a chief equity and inclusion officer, after it was revealed last month that she is ‘as white as the driven snow’.
Disgraced former lawyer Alex Murdaugh has been sentenced to life in prison, a day after being convicted of murdering his wife and son.
Judge Clifton Newman gave Murdaugh two life sentences at a hearing in Walterboro, South Carolina. They will be served consecutively.
Mr Newman called the case “one of the most troubling” he had seen.
Murdaugh spoke briefly in court twice, to maintain his innocence.
Pakistan’s blasphemy laws have once again been made even more stringent by the country’s lawmakers. Amid a long-running international outcry against the notorious blasphemy laws, the National Assembly of Pakistan on January 17 unanimously passed “The Criminal Laws (Amendment) Act 2023,” which increased the minimum punishment for those found guilty of insulting the Islamic Prophet Mohammad’s companions, wives and family members from three years to 10 years’ imprisonment, along with a fine of 1 million Pakistani rupees ($4,122).
An accountant who participated in the “Freedom Convoy” is suing two lawyers who represent other protest organizers, alleging they negligently failed to warn him of the potential legal risk of his involvement.
Chad Eros, who set up a not-for-profit corporation to receive contributions to the convoy, on Tuesday launched legal action against lawyers Keith Wilson, Eva Chipiuk and the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, an Alberta-based legal charity.
OTTAWA — Canada’s Foreign Minister Melanie Joly told her Chinese counterpart Qin Gang on the sidelines of the G20 summit in New Delhi that Canada will never tolerate any form of foreign interference in its internal affairs, according to a statement from Joly on Friday.
Problem solved.
