Can Canada handle its coming population boom?

The latest projections from Statistics Canada show that Canada’s population is poised to grow much faster over the next two decades than the federal agency forecast just three years ago, suggesting any downturn in the country’s housing market is likely to be short-lived.

Indeed, the revised Statscan figures released last week underscore the need for policy makers to clear the way for more housing and infrastructure projects now to accommodate a fast-growing national population that is projected to increase by around 10 million people by 2043.

Shouldn’t Canadian citizens have the final word on immigration?

Lefty Rag Says ‘Islamophobia’ Is Worse Than Ever, So Why Is It So Hard to Find Any?

“Islamophobia is worse than ever,” Salon proclaimed on Monday, and while the Leftist rag predictably claims that much of it is Trump’s fault, it adds that (oddly enough!) “the Biden administration has not led to any significant reduction in Islamophobia.” Yet if you scan through the Salon article looking for examples of Muslims in America being subjected to widespread discrimination and harassment, you’ll come up empty; all that Salon’s Sophia A. McClennen offers is a rude t-shirt, some old claims of American military atrocities in Afghanistan, and some highly dubious “findings” of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the like. So where is all this horrible American “Islamophobia”?

How a double-vaxxed and vigilantly masked British Columbian became ‘Rosie Convoy’

Last winter, in the dead of an endless pandemic, Judy Martens says she was in a dark place.

She had lost her job as a “glorified litter box cleaner” at a veterinary clinic in her hometown of Kelowna, B.C., and moved in with her parents to help care for her dad after he suffered a third stroke.

What are Canadians angry about? New ‘Rage Index’ aims to find out

With rage towards governments, the economy and current events rampantly expressed on social media and during protests, it wouldn’t take a data scientist to determine that Canadians are angry. But a new study aims to track and quantify the rage in comprehensive ways.

… Of the 2,013 respondents surveyed between Jul. 25 and Aug. 2, 48 per cent reported that they are upset with the Ottawa’s policy decisions, and 83 per cent were angry with inflation rates. In addition, 79 per cent of the participants reported being angry at rising gas prices, and 55 per cent were angered by the current state of the housing market.

Seems the rage index missed measuring the public’s thoughts on Trudeau.

Nord Stream 1: Russia switches off gas pipeline citing maintenance

Russia has stopped the flow of gas via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Europe, citing the need to carry out repairs, in a move that has heightened already acute nervousness over the reliability of winter energy supplies.

The halt on the Baltic Sea pipeline at 5am on Wednesday would last for three days, Gazprom, the Russian state energy company said. It had warned two weeks ago that the outage was due but the German government said it had not been formally told, receiving the information instead via social media after it was posted on Gazprom’s Telegram channel.

Police officer’s son sentenced to 10 years for ‘bone-chilling’ slaying of refugee African warlord

What struck the judge sentencing Keiron Gregory was the contrast offered by the people closest to him compared to the violence inflicted on shooting victim Bill Horrace.

In his decision to sentence Gregory, 24, to 10 years for manslaughter and breaking and entering a home to commit robbery, Superior Court Justice Duncan Grace kept returning to the 17 letters of support that described Gregory as intelligent, kind, generous, considerate, and, as one of his uncles wrote, “gentle to the core.”

Energy prices soar in Britain. Can Canadians expect to pay more too?

October will bring shock for many in Britain.

At the start of the month, U.K. residents will see an 80 per cent increase in their annual household energy bills, the country’s energy regulator announced earlier this month, following a record 54 per cent spike in April. That will bring costs for the average customer to 3,549 pounds ($5,418) a year from 1,971 pounds ($3,009).

Family of Marine killed in Afghanistan file second lawsuit against Alec Baldwin

The widow and sisters of a US marine killed in Afghanistan during the military’s chaotic departure from the country in 2021 are again suing actor Alec Baldwin for at least $25 million, claiming he exposed them to online vitriol after the actor accused one of the women of being a Jan. 6 insurrectionist.

Canadian politics has a rage problem — and politicians have to be part of the solution

On a June day nearly 40 years ago, Brian Mulroney happened upon a 63-year-old woman named Solange Denis. Mulroney’s government was proposing to make a change to Old Age Security. Denis was mad about that and — with reporters watching — she conveyed her displeasure directly to the prime minister.

Mulroney’s run-in with Denis became a national story. The government was compelled to back down and “Goodbye Charlie Brown” subsequently became shorthand for how a single interaction with a voter can waylay a politician and a government.

What happened to Chrystia Freeland in Grande Prairie, Alberta last week was something else entirely — and many political leaders, from across the partisan spectrum, seemed to recognize that immediately. Among those who condemned the incident were Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford, two politicians who have had their differences with the federal Liberal government.

The nerve of the CBC publishing this tripe. The anger at the Trudeau Liberals is justified.

Shamima Begum: Spy for Canada smuggled schoolgirl to Syria

Shamima Begum, who fled the UK and joined the Islamic State group, was smuggled into Syria by an intelligence agent for Canada.

Files seen by the BBC show he claimed to have shared Ms Begum’s passport details with Canada, and smuggled other Britons to fight for IS.

Ms Begum’s lawyers are challenging the removal of her citizenship, arguing she was a trafficking victim.

Canada and the UK declined to comment on security issues.

Couple accused of plotting to blow up the B.C. Legislature launches lawsuit

A couple accused of plotting to blow up the B.C. Legislature with pressure cookers has filed a lawsuit against the federal government, province and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, arguing their Charter rights were violated and they were subjected to malicious prosecution and unlawful action.

A unanimous ruling by B.C.’s Appeal Court in December, 2018, upheld a judge’s decision to stay terrorism charges against John Nuttall and Amanda Korody due to entrapment by police. The pair was found guilty in June, 2015, of conspiring to commit murder and possessing an explosive in a public place on behalf of a terrorist group.

I believe both of these misfits need help of some kind. I followed this case in the news and it stank, it was the RCMP imitating FBI entrapment tactics.

Nolte: Daily Beast Goes Full-McCarthy Against ‘My Son Hunter‘

The far-left Daily Beast, a documented cesspool of 14-year-old-girl hysteria, isn’t screwing around when it comes to the upcoming feature film My Son Hunter. There will be no Neo-McCarthyism here. No New-McCarthyism. No McCarthyism-lite.

Oh, no, these fascists are all about McCarthyism-McCarthyism.

Trudeau’s ‘green’ obsession is Canada’s nightmare

Justin Trudeau’s “green” fairy tale continues. And our nation’s economy and the West’s efforts to contain Vladimir Putin both suffer from our prime minister’s dalliances with unreality.

Last week, German chancellor Olaf Scholz was in Canada. What he was hoping for was a pledge from the federal government to start shipping LNG (liquified natural gas) to his country so Germany can stop buying Russian natural gas by 2024.

US Heading Toward China’s Cultural Revolution, Warns Asian-American Coalition for Education President

The United States is dangerously close to repeating China’s Cultural Revolution, according to the Asian-American Coalition for Education president and author Mike Zhao.

“The communist playbook, unfortunately, … they used to destroy China during the Cultural Revolution … 50 years ago. Today, the radical left uses the same playbook to destroy America,” Zhao said in a recent interview with NTD News, The Epoch Times’ sister media.
