Canadians should be cautious about embracing “romantic notions” of Marxism or communism, a political ideology and system responsible for the deaths of millions of people since the early 20th century, says the chair of a charity working to establish a Canadian memorial to commemorate the victims of communism.
From Leger.
53% of Canadians are dissatisfied with the Canadian government led by Justin Trudeau.
When we asked Canadians which federal party leader would make the best prime minister of Canada…
22% said Justin Trudeau;
17% said Jagmeet Singh;
16% said Erin O’Toole;
and 20% were not sure which leader would be best.
48% of Canadians feel economic recovery is the most important issue to debate with respect to the next federal election.
12% say Climate change is an important election – less that UBI!
Zoophiles believe it’s acceptable to be intimate with an animal, and want the LGTBQ+ movement to add a Z to its name. RT spoke to one about their secret world, and with members of the ‘furry’ and ‘therian’ communities.
Pride Month has just come to an end, following four weeks of global parades and celebrations featuring gay, bisexual, queer, trans, de-trans, asexual and other marginalised communities.
As the Taliban make rapid battlefield gains ahead of the US military pullout from Afghanistan, the question of who stays and who goes is once again at the top of foreign envoys’ agendas.
The “final warning” on fine notepaper was delivered to me in the depth of a harsh Kabul winter at the peak of a Cold War conflict. “I must advise you that you should leave Afghanistan without delay while normal flights are still available,” advised the British chargé d’affaires.
Eleven days later, on a snowy 30 January 1989, we watched the US chargé d’affaires solemnly lower the stars and stripes in a simple ceremony freighted with political meaning. The last Soviet troops were pulling out within weeks, ending their disastrous decade-long Afghan engagement. An exodus of Western missions was meant to rattle the beleaguered Moscow-backed government.
In its April budget, the Trudeau government boasted it has dramatically increased annual funding on Indigenous issues by 115% since coming into office, from $11.4 billion in 2015 to a projected $24.5 billion this year.
The federal government spent $20 million on a smartphone application designed to alert users to possible COVID-19 exposures, and new data obtained by The Canadian Press shows the results didn’t live up to expectations.
Ottawa’s COVID Alert app, introduced late last year in several provinces, uses Bluetooth to detect proximity to others who have installed the app on their mobile devices, and it notifies users when they’ve been in close contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19.
No one trusted this app, and rightly so.
Twitter will no longer be exempt from liability arising from posts by users in India, after the platform failed to delete posts deemed illegal within a timeframe set by the country’s new IT laws.
In a ruling filed on Monday, the US microblogging site lost the immunity that prevents it from being held liable for content posted by its users. The decision was made on the premise that Twitter is not respecting India’s “law of the land.”
A new Washington Post/ABC News poll finds that a majority of Americans disapprove of the job President Joe Biden is doing on immigration — as illegal border crossings smash records month over month creating an unprecedented crisis.
The June 30th survey shows 51% of respondents are not satisfied with the president’s handling of the border crisis while 33% give him a thumbs up.
For the past 15 months, Canadians have been advised to avoid non-essential travel outside of Canada, but the definition of “essential” travel is open to interpretation and personal judgment.
While it has not been against the rules to fly abroad, COVID-19 testing and quarantine measures, along with the reduced capacity of commercial airlines, have made travel difficult or even prohibitive.
Friends of Justin no doubt, we really are a Banana republic.
Sabrina Maddeaux: Trudeau’s border closure is a sham designed to only allow the rich to travel. Time to put an end to it
A globally renowned China scholar said Twitter temporarily restricted her account after she mocked Chinese President Xi Jinping. The New Zealand academic added Facebook, LinkedIn, Zoom and other major social media players appeared just as eager to silence critics of the Communist Party dictatorship.
The Dutch Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld far-right politician Geert Wilders’ conviction for collectively insulting Moroccans at a campaign rally in 2014.
Wilders had been convicted in 2016, and demanded a retrial, arguing the case had been politically motivated and that the finding restricted his freedom of speech.
The court ruled Tuesday that the rally speech was not covered by freedom of expression.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is so determined to not cough up documents related to the firings of two scientists at the top-secret laboratory in Winnipeg, he is suing his own government to keep them forever sealed.

What is China buying in the Biden Administration? A look to the recent past may provide some answers.
If you go back to 2009-10 and look at the “shovel-ready” stimulus package that President Barack Obama pushed through, as most people now know, there were huge amounts of money in the form of direct grants and loan guarantees that went to Solyndra and other “green energy” companies that failed. Yet, the question remained: Where did all that taxpayer money go for green energy?
If you trace it, you will find that 80 percent of that money went to green energy companies that were owned by individuals who sat on Barack Obama’s Finance Committee for his 2008 campaign.
Mother of Canadian woman detained in Syrian camp wants answers after another woman freed
The mother of a Canadian woman held in a detention camp for family members of ISIS militants in northeast Syria for four years wants to know why her daughter remains there, after another Canadian woman was released with the help of a former U.S. diplomat just over a week ago.
“You know, I’m happy for her,” the mother told CBC News by telephone in a rare interview. “I’m happy for her family. But why has this woman been rescued and my daughter and her two little children are still in that terrible place?”
Sara — CBC is not using her real name in order to protect the identity of her family — says her daughter knows she made a terrible mistake when she left home to travel to ISIS-held territory in 2014.
Let them rot.
