The issue of foreign interference in elections was examined in a Commons committee on Dec. 13, with Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic Leblanc addressing China’s role in Canadian society at large.
“The Chinese government regularly attempts to interfere in various aspects of Canadian society, elections would not be excluded from some of their efforts to interfere,” Leblanc told the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
Imagine being afraid to see a doctor. Not because of a deep-seated irrational fear or bad previous experience or because you are worried about a diagnosis … but because of what you’ve heard some doctors at the local medical school say about people like you.
In 2021, Ayelet Kuper, an Israeli-born Canadian physician and scientist, was appointed senior adviser on antisemitism by the Temerty Faculty of Medicine (TFOM) at the University of Toronto. The position was created in response to reports of increasing antisemitism affecting Jewish students, staff and faculty.
The realization that most of the anti-Semitism in Canada starts at the top must be frustrating to some.
Gone are the easy days when our betters could blame “white supremacists” a typically poor and uneducated fringe in Canada.
Nowadays the most dangerous anti-Semites pack the institutional power of our universities and government.
LPC and NDP MP’s hosted a Palestinian solidarity shindig that had no less than 3 anti-Semites in attendance. They blamed it on poor screening or some such nonsense, I bet Laith Marouf would have been welcomed with open arms had he shown his face.
And let’s not fail to mention the role our immigration and multiculturalism policy has played in all this.
Much of Canada’s resurgent anti-Semitism was imported and has taken root aided and abetted by our elite’s cynical exploitation of identity politics.
Diversity is anti-Semitism’s strength.
This blog made its bones calling out Islamist hate & anti-Semitism.
While lauded by some for those efforts I was labeled a racist Islamophobe by many on the Liberal-Left for the simple act of pointing out the facts. Right Bernie?
Fear the resurgence but also the silent voices.
Teach your children well much?
The threats to American power are both subtle and extraordinary.
Tensions between Beijing and Washington have been steadily increasing for years. Some of the competition has been plain to see: New Chinese aircraft carriers, fifth-generation fighter planes and airstrips in the South China Sea that are facing off against U.S. megabases in places like Guam and deepening military partnerships with Australia and Taiwan.
But other aspects of China’s quest for power are much more subtle. Beijing is also playing a quieter game, using non-military means to propel its push for influence and dominance across the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
Critics are sounding the alarm after Alejandro Mayorkas’ visit to El Paso didn’t include a survey of the inundated border crossing areas or parts of the city where migrants are sleeping on the streets due to massive overcrowding in shelters.
While the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary did visit with Border Patrol agents and officials in El Paso, he did not take a look at that dire situation for which Republicans claim he is responsible.
‘No, as far as I’m aware and what I’m hearing from the ground, he [Mayorkas] did not go to the border,’ National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told DailyMail.com.
The fighting began early on a bright autumn morning 60 years ago.
On 23 October 1962 Chinese solders entered and engaged in intense artillery fire in what was then a far-flung Himalayan region in north-eastern India called North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA), bordering China and Bhutan.
Today it is Arunachal Pradesh, an Indian state with more than a million people that China continues to claim as its territory, and where the latest flare-up between the two sides in more than a year took place.
“Explosions lit up the sky and echoed between the mountains,” Indian army personnel told Bertil Lintner, a Swedish journalist and author of the China’s India War: Collision Course on the Roof of the World.
Livermore National Laboratory’s announcement is certainly a breakthrough, but it’s a commercially limited one.
Nuclear fusion has long been hailed as the next great energy source, capable of providing nearly limitless power without the harmful emissions and waste associated with other forms of energy generation. This week, the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory announced that it had achieved “ignition,” which occurs when the energy output from plasma in a fusion reactor exceeds the energy put into the plasma. With continued investment from government and the private sector, we are likely to see many such scientific milestones reached in the next few years.
No Flying Cars? Crap.
The couple embodies the ethics of narcissism
Harry and Meghan divide opinion very much along the lines of whether one believes we have obligations beyond our control. I still remember a Christmas family row, me a stroppy teenager, that concluded with me insisting: “I didn’t ask to be born into this family.” No one ever does, of course. Which is why the putative obligations one has to one’s parents — “honour thy father and mother” in old money — cut against the grain of contemporary liberal choice-led values.
The cold snap is exposing the limits of wind and solar – and the insanity of the green agenda.
There are already many German loan words in the English language, but the latest addition should surely be the term ‘Dunkelflaute’. It describes a period of time in which virtually no energy can be generated using wind and solar power. It is a word that captures the grave problem that both Britain and Germany are facing today – namely, that you cannot run a modern economy on renewable energy. Especially during a windless and dark winter.
The vicar of a church previously targeted by suspected satanists fears more “sinister” goings-on after dead animals were discovered by worshippers.
The Rev David Bacon raised the prospect of “witchcraft” after ladies coming to clean the church found a cat hanging “horribly” from a flagpole.
A dead fox was left on the doorstep of the 12th-century St Peter’s Church in Bramshaw, Hampshire, a few weeks ago.
It’s a harsh judgment, but it’s not without evidence that several human rights organizations have described the overarching objective championed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and several mainline environmental organizations leading the agenda at the COP15 summit in Montreal as racist and profoundly unscientific.
270,000 students are being taught that white people are evil.
In 2018, the ADL announced that it was no longer in the ‘kindness’ business. “Forget Kindness. Schools Need to Foster Social Justice,” Jinnie Spiegler, the ADL’s curriculum director, barked.
By three years old, Spiegler claimed white children in America are already racists.
Spiegler, an obsessive leftist with seemingly no Jewish interests, whose Twitter account promotes antisemitic leftists like AOC, Cori Bush, and Ilhan Omar, has a singular obsession.
Concern has been raised at the silence of non-Jews to counter the rise in anti-Semitism.
Sam Bankman-Fried’s reported ex-girlfriend was likely among the first people to turn on him and help prosecutors build their fast-moving fraud case in the epic, $8 billion-plus collapse of his FTX cryptocurrency exchange, a former US government lawyer said Wednesday,
Caroline Ellison, 28, is a key figure in the case as she was at one time CEO of the Alameda Research hedge fund — which authorities claim received billions of dollars that Bankman-Fried, 30, diverted from FTX.
“She would have among the greatest incentives to cooperate, as it was seeming likely that in his effort to exculpate himself, Bankman-Fried would try to finger her,” former Securities and Exchange Commission lawyer Howard Fischer told The Post.
Oh Sammy you better get used to your new cell mate Bubba.
Caroline Ellison Was Alameda’s CEO, But Officials Say Sam Bankman-Fried Ran It
When Sam Bankman-Fried told his side of the story of what happened to FTX, the crypto exchange that went bankrupt on his watch last month, he often pointed the finger elsewhere. His favorite target was Alameda Research, the trading firm where Caroline Ellison was chief executive.
This week, the U.S. government pointed back at Mr. Bankman-Fried.
Update – This is new info – Bahamian authorities were tipped off by top Bankman-Fried associate
One of Sam Bankman-Fried’s close associates told Bahamian regulators in the days before FTX collapsed that the now-disgraced founder had likely funnelled customer money to his hedge fund, a move that helped accelerate the 30-year-old’s downfall.
Ryan Salame, co-chief executive of FTX’s Bahamas operating entity, informed the country’s securities commission on November 9 that FTX customer funds had been used to cover losses at Alameda Research, according to Bahamian court records(opens a new window).
Salame identified Bankman-Fried and two other FTX executives as potentially being responsible, an allegation that triggered a referral to the Bahamas police and ultimately the appointment of liquidators.
So it looks like Caroline was not the first but among the first. I wonder if she made the call or if someone came knocking with some friendly advice.
The man who was up until recently considered the world’s richest man has fired another Twitter shot over the bow of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new online content bill.
“Sounds like an attempt to muzzle the voice of the people of Canada,” Twitter owner Elon Musk said in a tweet sent out early Wednesday morning to his 121 million followers.
Judicial Watch said that the records contained information…
…regarding data Moderna submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on its mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, which indicate a “statistically significant” number of rats were born with skeletal deformations after their mothers were injected with the vaccine. The documents also reveal Moderna elected not to conduct a number of standard pharmacological studies on the laboratory test animals.
With so much hot air and wind, Jagmeet Singh must be beloved by balloonists and sailors. But if the NDP leader wants to be taken seriously, it’s time he stopped the bluster.
Singh wants the Liberals to act on the dire state of our health-care system. If so he will need to do more than speak platitudes.
