The terrorist threat posed by lone actors is ‘difficult to detect,’ says federal report

Violent extremists in Canada have the “intent and capability” to commit acts of terrorism, but detecting attacks by lone actors or small groups before they happen is “difficult,” says an internal threat assessment conducted for the federal government last year.

The warning is found in a threat analysis prepared by the federal government’s Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre (ITAC) in the lead-up to last year’s muted Canada Day celebrations.

CRTC Chair Confirms Bill C-11 Captures User Content, Will Take Years to Implement

CRTC Chair Ian Scott appeared before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage yesterday and Bill C-11 proved to be a popular topic of discussion. The exchanges got testy at times as Scott seemingly stepped outside of his role as an independent regulatory by regularly defending government legislation, even veering into commenting on newspapers, which clearly falls outside the CRTC’s jurisdiction. With respect to Bill C-11, most newsworthy were two comments regarding the regulation of user content and the timelines for implementing the bill if it receives royal assent.

What is monkeypox? How contagious is it and what are the symptoms?

The infection has mostly been contained to endemic areas in Africa but a recent rise in infections in European countries is leading to concern there could be community transmission.

Public Health Canada announced Wednesday they were closely monitoring the virus after the confirmed case in the U.S. was linked to travel in Canada. The CBC’s Radio Canada is reporting 13 suspected cases in Montreal, but a spokesperson for the Public Health Agency of Canada tells CityNews that no cases have been confirmed at this time.

Putin’s Useful Idiots: How U.S. Climate Extremists Are Funding Russia’s Agenda

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is illuminating an ugly truth: the anti-fracking war on America’s energy security is being waged by well-funded, radical U.S. environmental groups, as well as interests tied directly to Vladimir Putin. For years, the U.S. government has investigated Russian financial ties to environmental groups that push for ending U.S. fossil fuel production and have successfully shut down fracking sites and pipelines, to the detriment of U.S. workers and consumers.

Justin Trudeau’s Democratic Replacement Theory

“Kick the treasonous Great Replacement Theory out of Canada before it takes us off the rails” writes Max Fawcett from the National Observer. As a woke journalist, Mr. Fawcett encapsulates the post-modern breed of “progressive” Canadian media.

When in doubt– shut them up. For Liberal snowflakes like Fawcett, there is much to hate about Great Replacement. Primary of which is that it offers speculation on the demographic future of Canada. Our Liberal government hate that kind of thing. Mr. Fawcett, nor any other of his ilk, dare suggest a pragmatic method to resolve the dispute: show us the numbers.

A study from Eric Kaufmann, Professor at the University of London, states that “Canada is experiencing the fastest rate of ethnic change of any country in the Western world.”

Prof. Kaufmann is quoting Statistics Canada report projections, and he suggests that based on current immigration patterns, Canada will be 80% non-white in less than a century.

Ontario Gas Prices Headed For Drastic Dip In Time For Long Weekend

Provincewide gas prices are expected to drop significantly in the next 48 hours, providing some much-needed relief for those travelling on the roads this long weekend.

The price of gas dropped three cents on Thursday morning and Roger McKnight, Chief Petroleum Analyst with En-Pro International Inc., says it will fall another 10 cents by Friday at most stations.

Friday’s drop will see gas prices fall below $2 a litre ($1.969) for the first time in a week.

Police Never Asked Trudeau For The Emergencies Act

Despite claims from the Trudeau government that law enforcement desperately needed the government to invoke the Emergencies Act to quash the peaceful Freedom Convoy, the RCMP and Ottawa Police Service have indicated otherwise. Both Interim Ottawa Police Chief Steve Bell and RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki confirmed that they never requested the feds to invoke the never-before-used act.

True North’s Andrew Lawton says if the police didn’t ask for the Emergencies Act, maybe it wasn’t a last resort like the government claimed. Author at C2C Journal, Peter Shawn Taylor, joins the show to discuss how Canada’s banks betrayed their customers by following the government’s directive.

Media Falsely Claim Mass Public Shooters are ‘Right-wingers’ When They’re Environmental Extremists

If you believe the Los Angeles Times, the Buffalo shooter who left 10 dead emerged from “a far-right ecosystem.” A Rolling Stone headline echoed the claim: “The Buffalo Shooter Isn’t a ‘Lone Wolf.’ He’s a Mainstream Republican.” The New York Times links the mass murderer to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. Not to be left out, Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) blames Republicans for the attack, claiming: “The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, and anti-Semitism.”

This latest attack is one in a series of mass public shootings motivated by environmentalism. But you won’t hear that on the news.

Hunter’s Laptop Shows He Made Millions Off China, Ukraine While His Father Was VP

“From 2013 through 2018 Hunter Biden and his company brought in about $11 million via his roles as an attorney and a board member with a Ukrainian firm accused of bribery and his work with a Chinese businessman now accused of fraud, according to an NBC News analysis of a copy of Biden’s hard drive and iCloud account and documents released by Republicans on two Senate committees. The documents … raise questions about national security, business ethics and potential legal exposure,” reports NBC News.

As Hot Air observes, “it turns out that Hunter made a lot of money through Chinese and Ukrainian fraudsters while The Big Guy was VP.”

Stop the Denial: Ukraine Is a Proxy War That Will Lead to Wider World War

At the onset of the Russian incursion into Ukraine I argued in my article ‘Order Out Of Chaos: How The Ukraine Conflict Is Designed To Benefit Globalists‘ that US boots would be on the ground within a few months. I was wrong – As it turns out, US and European military boots were ALREADY on the ground. Ukraine was a proxy war from the very beginning.

But what is a proxy war, really? It means that Russian troops are fighting Ukrainian soldiers that are intermingled with western “advisors” and most likely US and European special forces, not to mention US intelligence operatives utilizing all the information gathering technology at the disposal of the Department of Defense. In other words, Russian soldiers are being killed by Western assets. Some pro-Ukraine people might ask why this is a problem?

Gas stations in Washington reprogram pumps to prepare for $10-a-gallon fuel as Bidenflation sends average price soaring to $4.57 – almost twice the $2.41 during Trump’s final month

A spokesperson for ’76’ gas stations confirmed that the national chain has begun reconfiguring its pumps to ‘make room’ for the possibility of double-digit prices, The Post Millennial reported.

The spokesperson for ’76’ did not comment on whether the company is expecting prices to reach $10.00-a-gallon, The Post Millennial said.

Meanwhile, other gas stations in the state have begun running out of gas as supplies become crunched, with reports saying at least 10 stations have run dry.

Google warns Online News Act would give feds “unprecedented control”

US tech giant Google has blasted the Trudeau government over a federal plan to regulate online news, calling it a sweeping attempt to impose government control over the web.

Vice President and Managing Director of Google Canada Sabrina Geremia warned in a lengthy post on Monday that Bill C-18 – also known as the Online News Act – would give the federal government “sweeping new powers” to regulate news content.

“The bill gives the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) unprecedented, sweeping new powers to regulate every aspect of the Canadian news industry,” wrote Geremia.

DHS preparing for violence following abortion ruling

The U.S. government is bracing for a potential surge in political violence once the Supreme Court hands down the ruling that’s expected to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to a Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by Axios.

The big picture: Law enforcement agencies are investigating social-media threats to burn down or storm the Supreme Court building and murder justices and their clerks, as well as attacks targeting places of worship and abortion clinics.

Details: The unclassified May 13 memo by DHS’ intelligence arm says threats that followed the leak of a draft opinion — targeting Supreme Court Justices, lawmakers and other public officials, as well as clergy and health care providers — “are likely to persist and may increase leading up to and following the issuing of the Court’s official ruling.”

Time for Canada to commit to nuclear power

It’s been a rollercoaster ride for the energy industry lately. Volatile fossil fuel prices and supply chain disruptions have forced governments to take a hard look at domestic energy security – something that has been taken for granted for many years with ever-increasing globalization. These difficulties come as countries are taking steps to tackle the climate crisis. This opens the debate on how to balance concerns over emissions, fuel costs and geopolitics.

Canada is not immune to these worldwide problems. Although we are lucky to have an electricity system that is more than 80 per cent low-carbon and generated from domestic resources, including uranium mined in Canada, our energy system overall is still heavily reliant on fossil fuels. Transportation, buildings and industry are still mostly powered and heated by oil and natural gas, a significant portion of which is imported.

Countries have been forced to publicly reconsider their positions on nuclear power, which in many cases has been based on politics rather than economic and climate policy. Governments that once suggested they were finished with nuclear power are now admitting that such statements were premature.
