Charges dropped against woman filmed pulling Pro-Palestinian protester’s hijab as the Hamas supporter’s chant a call to genocide

Crown prosecutors have dropped assault and harassment charges against a woman who pulled the hijab of a protester at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Ottawa in May, saying it needed to balance the public interest in prosecution and the reasonable prospect of conviction.

As part of the reasoning given for withdrawing charges on Thursday, assistant Crown attorney Moiz Karimjee said the Crown considered a number of factors, including that the victim was chanting “From the River to the Sea Palestine will be Free,” which he said could be reasonably inferred to be “a call for genocide of the Jewish people.”

Trudeau hopes a ‘silent majority’ is still willing to listen

He surely would reject any such comparison but, in a recent interview, Justin Trudeau briefly sounded just a little bit like Richard Nixon.

Taking part in an conversation with Village Media, the prime minister fielded questions about the dissent within his caucus and his party’s descent in the polls. He was also asked about the “F–k Trudeau” flags that have — as much as any policy or political gesture — come to define this Liberal government’s third term.

One of the interviewers remarked that he couldn’t remember similar flags being flown for Stephen Harper or Jean Chretien. The unhappiness, he said, seemed “personal.”

Trudeau doesn’t understand that he stoked the ire of people who just wanted to be left alone.

Human trafficking surges by 73% under Trudeau Liberals

Human trafficking incidents have risen significantly since Justin Trudeau took office, with a 73% increase in police-reported cases since 2015, according to Statistics Canada’s latest report.

The data reveals that the number of incidents has climbed from 330 in 2015 to 597 by 2022, reflecting a substantial growth in human trafficking activity nationwide.

Progressives love exploiting the masses that’s why they demand open borders and mass immigration to destabilize economies.

Mounties in B.C. raid ‘largest and most sophisticated’ drug lab in Canadian history

Mounties in British Columbia have discovered the “largest and most sophisticated” drug-production laboratory in Canadian history, federal investigators announced Thursday, describing the facility as a “super lab” operated by international organized criminals.

The facility, located east of Kamloops in the rural community of Falkland, was capable of producing several kilograms of methamphetamine, fentanyl and MDMA per week, David Teboul, an assistant commissioner with the federal RCMP in the Pacific region, announced at a news conference in Surrey.

I smell diversity.

Trudeau Liberals aren’t paying enough attention to affordability: Poll

OTTAWA — Less than half of Canadians think the federal government is doing enough to combat Canada’s ongoing affordability crisis, new polling suggests.

The spark*insights poll, conducted on behalf of Restaurants Canada, found that 57% of respondents said the Liberals aren’t making affordability enough of a priority — and that’s prompted the food service advocacy group to call on the federal government to dial back payroll taxes by 2% in the coming fall federal economic statement.

The threat of 3rd world staff contaminating the food is enough to keep me home.

I will never patronize Tim Horton’s for their abuse of the foreign workers program.

Cost is certainly a factor exacerbated by the demand for ever greater tips for ever declining service.

Overall Canadian restaurants are sketchy places that pose too great a risk to patronize.

Why did Canada delay designating Samidoun as a terror group?

On the evening of October 7, 2024, a well-known and frightening group of people gathered on the steps of Vancouver’s Robson Square, their faces obscured by masks and keffiyehs as they set a Canadian flag on fire while chanting “Death to Canada! Death to the United States! And Death to Israel!” and “We are Hezbollah and we are Hamas!”

That group is Samidoun, also known as the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, and they have a long history of incitement in Canada and abroad. They had been able to register themselves as a non-profit in Canada, but since this most recent stunt, calls increased not only to remove their non-profit status but also to list the group as a terrorist entity under Canadian law.

The Liberals are Samidoun.

Shawn Whatley: We’re way beyond the slippery slope. We need new criteria for MAID

There’s a big difference between what we imagine about Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in Canada and what actually happens to patients.

In 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada’s Carter decision overturned the ban on physician-assisted suicide and voluntary euthanasia for specific patients. The SCC cited “grievous and irremediable medical conditions” and “enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual” as the criteria for obtaining MAID. The 2016 legislation that followed upon the decision required that death be “reasonably foreseeable.” But today, we see MAID offered proactively to vulnerable patients as part of the range of “treatment” options, and in situations where death is nowhere in sight. If we were first slipping down the terminal illness slope with increasing MAID usage, we’re now skiing down another hill altogether.

‘This is treason’: Chinese agents are running Canada

Canadian democracy is in serious trouble. Based on a report released earlier this year, it appears that not only has China extensively interfered in Canadian institutions (particularly during the last federal election), but that Members of Parliament have willingly colluded with various foreign powers against Canada’s interests for personal benefit. The story grows stranger by the day as Canada’s ongoing public inquiry into foreign interference reveals the troubling extent of the problem and as politicians use the inquiry for political theatre. Canadians risk of losing track of just how serious the threat is and just how devastating the revelations of the report released earlier this year should be.

So Canada is known internationally as a Woke Chicom asset, money laundering capital, suicide kings and a NATO deadbeat.

That’s one hell of legacy Trudeau.

‘Ballots or bullets’: Sikh independence group’s provocative man of non-violence

In his many appearances in the mainstream media, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun comes off as an eminently reasonable face of the Sikh independence movement.

The Canadian-American lawyer accurately describes the global referendum he spearheads as a non-violent, democratic way to pursue turning India’s Punjab state into a separate nation. And he understandably condemns the assassination plots against him and other Sikh activists that U.S. and Canadian police have linked to the Indian government.

No matter your thoughts on India’s “misdeeds” Trudeau the vote whore should not be abusing Canada by harboring Khalistani extremists.

With condos not selling, Canada faces worsening home ownership crisis

OTTAWA – Canada’s home ownership crisis is likely to worsen over the next few years as proposed project sales languish at historically low levels, stalling the funding needed for construction, half a dozen economists and realtors told Reuters.

The sale of these proposed projects, comprising an array of one- or two-bedroom condominiums in major hubs like Toronto, is commonly called pre-construction sales, and a bulk of these properties are usually bought by investors to rent out.

Thank Justin for this mess.

Are some rents in Canada part of a price-fixing scheme?

Cynthia Black believes her rent has been rigged.

Since 2022, the Toronto resident says she has twice faced annual rent increases of either seven or 11 per cent — depending on the lease type her household was offered — in two Livmore buildings owned by GWL Realty Advisors, a division of Canada Life.

The buildings were constructed after 2018, which means they are exempt from Ontario rent controls, which are currently set at an annual increase of 2.5 per cent.

Calls mount for Canada to bar UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese over antisemitic remarks

The Canadian government is facing demands to bar Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur overseeing the Palestinian territories, from the country, following comments she made that have been called antisemitic.

Albanese is scheduled to speak at the University of Toronto on Nov. 7 about international law and genocide.

I doubt they will ban her. Trudeau covets the Mohammedan vote, he is in the thrall of the UN and his party is virtually Islamist in conviction.

Here’s why Pierre Poilievre is so afraid of the CBC

 

No wonder Pierre Poilievre wants to defund the CBC. The public broadcaster has barely shown him any deference.

Let’s start by noting that, contrary to the Conservative Leader’s claim, the CBC is not “the propaganda arm” of the Liberal government.” Overall, its reporting appears balanced. Now that doesn’t mean that the CBC treats climate denial as a legitimate point of view — rather than what it is: the rejection of well-established science.

The Star defending the CBC. Colour me shocked.
