Terence Corcoran: In Canada, follow the money + the ideas

“… Schwab and the WEF had help in setting up their Canadian infiltration mission, including from Trudeau’s former chief of staff, Gerald Butts, a participant in the WEF’s Davos conferences and a leading backroom organizer of the Trudeau government’s ideological gambits. When it comes to subversive plans to overthrow the free-world economy, few are larger in scope than the WEF’s global scheme to remake the world and install a new form of “capitalism” based on the recruitment of corporate leaders into the role of government.

The WEF infiltration of Ottawa has never been a secret, nor has Butts’ involvement. But it is far from being common knowledge among voters that the ideological model behind the Liberal policy machine, the steering mechanism that guides decisions and policies, is subversive and authoritarian. It also covers a massive policy territory, from climate to COVID-19.

Ottawa Mayor Can Sell Protest Trucks Using Emergencies Act; Freeland Affirms Cities Have Certain Powers

 

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson had told the CBC on Feb. 19 that his city has the power to sell the vehicles due to the Emergencies Act invoked by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Feb. 14.

“We actually have the ability to confiscate those vehicles and sell them,” he said, adding that “I want to see them sold. I don’t want the return to these people who’ve been causing such frustration and angst in our community.”

Biden’s Woke Appeasers Trash U.S. Military Readiness

A military that gives priority to climate change, LGBTQ+ issues, and the virtues of democratic socialism is surely inviting Putin to bite off even bigger chunks of Ukraine.

It was only a few weeks ago that President Joe Biden announced that we were committed to maintaining Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. Now Russian President Vladimir Putin is recognizing two parts of Ukraine — Donetsk and Luhansk — as independent states. His team of woke appeasers won’t even be able to muster significant sanctions against this Russian aggression.

MI5 chief Ken McCallum: British extremists are travelling to Afghanistan

The head of Britain’s domestic intelligence service said that Afghanistan is becoming a hotbed for terrorism.

A British man was one of two suspected ISIS recruits caught while trying to enter Afghanistan this month.

Ken McCallum, the director general of MI5, said the service has evidence of terrorist groups regrouping in Afghanistan and recruits are travelling to join them.

In September Mr McCallum said that the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan would give a “morale boost” to extremists in the UK and that terrorist groups would begin “reconstituting themselves within Afghanistan and projecting the threat back at the West including the UK”.

Bitcoin Can Fix Financial Deplatforming of Canada’s Truckers—But It Won’t Be Easy

 

The government controls on the traditional banking system also apply to custodial cryptocurrency services.

Things are getting pretty wild up in Canada. While other countries are removing their COVID restrictions, our neighbors to the north have decided to invoke emergency powers to seize the bank accounts of those who oppose lockdowns and mandates. Meanwhile, state media is prowling through a hacked database of convoy donors (isn’t that a bannable offense on Twitter?) to dox and open targets to harassment.

Financial deplatforming has always been a threat, but it’s mostly been a remote one. With these unprecedented banking punishments against the Canadian trucker convoy and its supporters, the reality of the controls baked into our financial system have become clear to the world.

Ex-girlfriend tells Hunter Biden grand jury about lavish spending

The grand jury considering evidence in the Hunter Biden tax probe heard nearly five hours of secret testimony from an ex-girlfriend who’s furious she got dumped after urging him to get off drugs, The Post has learned.

Zoe Kestan, 28, appeared before the panel in Wilmington, Del., on Tuesday, a source familiar with her testimony said.

Her turn on the witness stand came immediately after an appearance by the former stripper with whom Biden, 52, has an out-of-wedlock child, the source said.

Freedom Convoy organizer reveals plans for DC

One of the people behind the American Freedom Convoy revealed to Fox News on Monday that the truckers are planning to besiege the US capital, squeezing it like a “boa constrictor.”

Bob Bolus said the protesters’ main gripe was vaccine mandates, and to make the US government ditch those, the Convoy planned to “circle Washington DC” much like a “giant boa constrictor,” which, as he put it, “squeezes you, chokes you, and then swallows you.” The activist went on to warn “that’s what we’re going to do to DC.”

Three men in Ahmaud Arbery case convicted of federal hate crimes

The three men who were found guilty last November of murdering Ahmaud Arbery are also guilty of federal hate crime charges, a jury ruled Tuesday.

The three defendants, Travis McMichael, his father, Gregory McMichael, and William “Roddie” Bryan, pleaded not guilty to the charges, but the jury ultimately concluded that they violated Arbery’s civil rights and had a racial motivation in their pursuit of him.

LEDREW: Trudeau has brought Canadians to the tipping point

The Canada that Canadians now view every day is not the sensible, reasonable, and generous society that Canadians of all stripes have built up over many generations.

It has become polarized, nasty and barely recognizable.

Just listen to people talking in stores, on the street, and in meeting places.

The Cabbage Patch doll authoritarian

Justin Trudeau’s Canada is tyrannical government by the mediocre

At last, Canada has been freed from the menacing threat of bouncy castles. The bouncy castles first appeared in Ottawa earlier this month, brought in by the truckers who were peacefully protesting Covid restrictions and who Prime Minister Justin Trudeau later compared to Nazis. And you can understand why. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into a McDonald’s PlayPlace and felt the dark night of fascism descending all around me.

It is prudent to regard Ottawa as enemy territory and its public service predator class as pirates.

Media Silent as Ivy League Transgender Man Beats, Humiliates Women

Male swimmer Lia Thomas and his Ivy League allies publicly snatched several athletic prizes from gagged women during the weekend, yet the pro-transgender establishment media ignored the sexual drama.

“They’re just trying to blunt force this [transgender claim] through,” said Natasha Chart, a feminist activist and critic of transgenderism. “They’ve got this strategy of smearing and shouting down their opponents now that they can’t absolutely shut down the [public] debate.”

Don Martin: An emergency about nothing as tow trucks become the excuse to act

Pressed hard for an Emergencies Act justification with the protests gone, border blockades down and convoy leaders in custody, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reached deep into his leadership vacuum for rationalizations.

The emergency demanding the unprecedented use of the Act was . . . hesitant tow truck drivers, the prime minister declared.

Ukraine crisis: Russia orders troops into rebel-held regions

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered troops into two rebel-held regions in eastern Ukraine, after recognising them as independent states.

Russia said the troops have not yet been deployed but will be “peacekeeping” in the regions, which it has backed since 2014.

The US said calling them peacekeepers was “nonsense”, and accused Russia of creating a pretext for war.

Several countries have announced sanctions in response.

Ukraine’s president said his country was “not afraid of anything or anyone”.

Poor Ukraine.

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau doubles down on taking away our rights

Where is the imminent, national security threat to Canada that merits the continued application of the Emergencies Act, approved Monday night by the Trudeau government with the “reluctant” support of NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, while the Conservatives and Bloc Quebecois were opposed?

The extraordinary powers the act gives the government since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked it last Monday, will now be in effect for up to 30 days until mid-March, when it will expire, unless Parliament further extends it.
