Canadians are growing more concerned about the state of the economy and the impacts on their pocketbooks, a new poll suggests, with a majority now saying they are worried they won’t have enough money to feed their families.
The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News found 53 per cent of those surveyed were fearful about having enough food on the table, up nine points from just a month ago.
The battle for Bakhmut in Ukraine’s war-torn east has become one of the most brutal chapters of Russia’s disastrous invasion of its neighbor, as Ukrainian defenders burrowed into lines of fortified positions and mud-swamped trenches fight off waves of Russian assault units picking their way across the shell-scarred landscape.
The grinding assault on the city and its surrounding area is a rallying point for Russia’s military bloggers and propagandists, and a showcase of the capabilities of the Wagner Group and leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, one oligarch ally of President Vladimir Putin whose profile has increased dramatically since February 24.

The Trudeau government has been finding it a lot harder to avoid keeping company with and giving money to terror enthusiasts and antisemites than recent scandals would suggest. Whatever it is that’s going on here it’s not just a laxity in “vetting.”
Last week, the Canada-Palestine Parliamentary Friendship Group drew unwelcome attention to itself when it was revealed that publisher Nazih Khatatba, whose newspaper al-Meshwar is notorious for such indecencies as referring to the Holocaust as the “Holohoax” and claiming that Jewish bankers financed the Nazi Party, was one of the guests in attendance.
Pay attention.
It’s not going to get better.
The “Canada-Palestine Parliamentary Friendship Group” means that anti-Semitism and it’s attendant requirement to destroy Israel has been institutionalized.
The Identity Politics game means that some will win and some will lose.
It’s just a numbers game. All our mainstream political parties play it.
Islam is ascendant. Judaism in decline.
It’s too late to jump off the multicult bandwagon.
What were you thinking when you hopped on to begin with?
She gets to keep that “tarnished” badge after all.
Cripes, Mandel makes it sound like she bought sensitive communications equipment from the ChiComs!

The public safety committee won’t be calling independent, non-government experts to help members wade through controversial amendments to the government’s gun control legislation, after failing to reach an unanimous consensus on the issue.
Calling amendments that the government attempted to quietly insert into already wide-ranging gun control measures “poorly-presented,” Bloc Quebecois MP Kristina Michaud urged fellow committee members on Tuesday to allow independent experts to address their concerns.
An Afghan man convicted of murder was executed in public Wednesday, the Taliban said, the first confirmation of such a sentence since the hardline Islamists returned to power.
Last month Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada ordered judges to fully enforce aspects of Islamic law that include public executions, stonings and floggings, and the amputation of limbs from thieves.
… Citing worldwide critical minerals reserves data from the U.S. Geological Survey, the authors point out that Canada is a bit player in lithium, cobalt, copper, graphite and nickel, all of which are used in low-carbon energy, such as electric vehicle batteries. Reserves are minerals in the ground whose economic viability has been proven.
The stark reality of Canada’s weak standing in critical minerals goes against the rhetoric often espoused by federal and provincial politicians, who have claimed that Canada is a critical minerals powerhouse.
Tulipmania is an apt comparison to our own Green-Scam mania, but it especially applies to the Big Lie about “electric vehicles.”
The only good green jobs being created belong to those charged with handing out tax payer dollars to unsustainable “green” industries.
How many ICE cars and trucks are on the road in Canada currently, privately owned and commercial?
Do you think we have or will have the energy infrastructure required to replace all of those vehicles with EV’s?
It’s not even close and my bet is we never will.
Someone will have to do without a private vehicle.
In fact a lot of someone’s will have to do without.
Those someone’s will be you and I.
And that’s considered a feature not a bug.
Bank of Canada raises key interest rate to 4.25 per cent, its highest since 2008
The Bank of Canada has raised its overnight rate by 50 basis points to 4.25 per cent, marking its seventh rate hike in nine months. The last time the bank’s policy rate was this high was in January 2008.
The inflation rate remained high at 6.9 per cent in October, well above the bank’s 2 per cent target. Higher gas prices put upward pressure on the cost of most goods and services, according to the Consumer Price Index released by Statistics Canada last month.
On May 30, 2021, the Canadian Federation of Students issued a statement to Canadian schools, declaring: “On Thursday, May 27, the remains of 215 Indigenous children were found buried in an unmarked mass grave at the Kamloops Residential School [in British Columbia]. These were acts of cultural violence, genocide and colonialism.”
Within days, this unsubstantiated assertion was dialled back by Tk’emlúps Chief Rosanne Casimir, who conceded that the alleged discovery by ground-penetrating radar was not a “mass grave,” but rather possible “individual, unmarked grave sites.” This is important, because “mass grave” usually points to a massacre. But there is no evidence for illicit death at Kamloops or any of the other 150 residential schools over the course of their tenure. In the interlude since the May 27, 2021, announcement, numerous evidence-based articles testifying to that fact by researchers in indigenous affairs have appeared in the Dorchester Review, C2C Journal and the National Post, as well as in these pages.
Nevertheless, the incorrect CFS statement remains to this day on their website.
In a nationwide raid, 25 suspected members and supporters of a terrorist organization were arrested early Wednesday.
Officials said the network, part of a wider right-wing movement, was already well established with a concrete plan to overthrow the German state by force and install a new government.

The federal government awarded a contract to provide and maintain RCMP communications equipment to a company with ties to the Chinese government, Radio-Canada has learned.
The contract has security experts raising concerns about potential Chinese access to RCMP communications and data.
On October 6, 2021, the federal government awarded Sinclair Technologies a contract worth $549,637 for a radio frequency (RF) filtering system. One of the system’s purposes is to protect the RCMP’s land-based radio communications from eavesdropping.
Canada’s China Class at work. Pretty hard to stop given the LPC is likely infiltrated from top to bottom.
I’m sure Justin will blame it on White Supremacists.
A popular Amsterdam crockery company has been forced to withdraw a coffee bowl depicting a grinning, rosy-cheeked Anne Frank, clutching her diary, along with other symbols of “Dutch glory” such as clogs, tulips and windmills.
OTTAWA – The Canadian Armed Forces is facing calls to return Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin to duty after the senior officer, who previously oversaw the Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout, was acquitted of sexual assault.
The military says it is considering the implications of the ruling, which was handed down by a Quebec civilian judge on Monday following a high-profile trial.
Fortin’s lawyer, Natalia Rodriguez, says her client is ready, willing and able to return to service after being essentially put on paid leave for more than a year.
Why shouldn’t he be reinstated? Sounds like the CAF has something against heterosexuals.
Evan Luthra says he lost more than $2 million when the FTX cryptocurrency exchange imploded last month. And he feels doubly injured seeing disgraced founder and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried making the media rounds, stating that he had no idea about the “huge management failures” and “accounting f–k-ups” that led to the collapse.
That Bankman-Fried has been holding court from what appears to be a stately home in the Bahamas, where he resides untouched by American law enforcement, is like salt on the wound.
… In front of you today are 62 firearms, including five AR-15 semi-automatic rifles. 260 charges have been laid against six individuals, one of whom has now been identified as a suspect in a reckless shooting that occurred in a crowded bar in October of 2021.
While we are here to show the public the results of a successful investigation, this is not a good news story.
But the criminals are the real victims!
