Trudeau says he does not need mandate for pandemic budget because he already has one
Yesterday, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced that the first federal budget in more than two years will be delivered on April 19.
The budget is expected to provide a full accounting of all government spending through the pandemic, which has sent the deficit for the fiscal year to almost $400 billion.
It is also expected to outline the Liberals’ plan to spend between $70 billion and $100 billion over the coming years on stimulus to help the economy recover.
Jagmeet Singh and the NDP’s Economic Platform is All Nationalization
In an attempt to communicate themselves as a viable alternative to the federal Liberals, the NDP has gone further into far-left socialism, at no surprise to Canadians.
As Canadians across the country become fed-up with Justin Trudeau’s left-wing economic and social record, many have looked to the NDP as an alternative, only to find even more radical socialist views which appear to only be becoming more fringe as an election looms on in the distance.

Is The Media Done Covering For Biden, Or Just Taking A Break?
You know President Joe Biden is doing something wrong when even left-leaning activist media outlets take him to task. After more than a month of claiming there’s nothing to see at the border and telling government officials not to speak with the press, the president seems to have irked the activist media.

Now, those same schools are making public statements condemning the purported uptick in anti-Asian violence.
Mass shootings and the presumption of whiteness
‘A lie will gallop halfway round the world before the truth has time to pull its breeches on.’ So said Cordell Hull, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s secretary of state, long before the internet. Now we live in the virtual age. What’s true is barely relevant. No sooner has a man shot 10 people dead and been taken into custody than his suspected motives are shoved into the great culture-war grinder and splatted out of a million social media accounts. So we saw this week with the arrest of Ahmed Al Aliwi Alissa, who was presumed white as quickly as he was guilty after pictures of his arrest yesterday in Boulder, Colorado circulated online.

Biden admin calls on SCOTUS to let police enter homes, confiscate guns without a warrant
On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case about whether law enforcement officers can enter people’s home and confiscate guns without a warrant, Forbes reported.

In a Monday interview with Fox News’ Harris Faulkner, former President Donald Trump said China is laughing at the United States over the U.S. focus on “woke” political issues and thinks the U.S. is “stupid” for focusing on those issues.
“When China looks at woke, they see the biggest problem we have is Dr. Seuss,” Trump said. “In the meantime, they’re building factories and trying to kill us in so many different ways. They laugh at us.”

Christian Baker Back in Court After Refusing to Make Gender ‘Transition’ Cake
Jack Phillips is back in court, and every American has a stake in the outcome.
The owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colorado, is best known already for winning a 2018 decision in the U.S. Supreme Court over his treatment by the state’s laughably named Civil Rights Commission and its blatant discrimination against his Christian beliefs.
Now, he’s in a courtroom again, with those same beliefs under a new attack.
Health Canada says AstraZeneca vaccine safe, effective but will add warning on clots
Health Canada is in the process of adding a warning about a rare possible side-effect of blood clots from the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine but is still certain the vaccine is safe and effective against COVID-19.
The department’s chief medical adviser Dr. Supriya Sharma says the warning comes on the heels of a similar warning in Europe last week but doesn’t change Health Canada’s analysis that the vaccine’s benefits outweigh its risks.
All 10 Boulder Colorado Victims Were White. It’s Time To End Anti-White Race Hate.
The following ten people perished in the recent shooting in Boulder, Colorado carried out by Ahmad Al-Issa. All of them appear to be white, but neither the media nor politicians have bothered to resurrect their anti-race-hate campaign that ensues when Black Lives Matter riot, or when Asians are murdered in Atlanta.
As long as we’re discussing race, did you know that Obama was the 44th white President of the United States? Be sure to remind a liberal of that next time you get a chance.
Protection Against Online Hate Speech: Time for Federal Action
During Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Week at the University of Calgary in February 2021, the Faculty of Law’s EDI Committee held a research-a-thon where students undertook research on the law’s treatment of equity, diversity and inclusion issues.

This post is the first in the series, which also closely coincides with the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination next week on March 21. The theme this year is “Youth Standing Up Against Racism”, which fits well with this initiative.
