Ottawa stops funding temporary accommodations for Afghan migrant applicants waiting in Pakistan

43 Million spent on dubious “refugees”

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has stopped subsidizing temporary accommodations in Pakistan for people applying through a special immigration program for Afghans who worked for the Canadian government or armed forces.

Special measures for Afghans trying to move to Canada were introduced by the federal government in summer 2021, after the Taliban swept to power and sent many former employees of western governments into hiding.


How many thousands “worked” for Canada in Afghanistan?

It’s a number that seems infinite.

Kelly McParland: Trudeau Liberals have a Biden problem, but lack a Pelosi to press the case

A month after kicking him down the White House stairs, Democrats welcomed Joe Biden to the stage of their Chicago convention, the better to profess how much they well and truly love him.

“We started out … with President Biden, who we all love, we all adore, we look forward to seeing him tonight,” convention chairperson Minyon Moore burbled Monday, the first day of the Democrat gathering, as delegates and party elders waited for the sitting president to speak his piece and get it done with.

How Global News’ investigation into Indigenous contracting unfolded

Global News’ collaborative investigation into billions of dollars in federal contracts awarded to Indigenous-owned enterprises began in late 2022, when a journalist noticed that some suppliers of personal protective equipment did not disclose a connection to a First Nation, Métis or Inuit community on their websites.

Vast sums of public funds are in play.

The scope is insane.

Canada pushing Israel on court orders, Joly says

The Canadian government is pushing Israel to accept the emergency orders of the International Court of Justice to prevent genocide in Gaza, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says.

At the same time, Canada is asking South Africa to use its connections in Iran and Hamas to push for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Ms. Joly told The Globe and Mail in an interview on Thursday.

I bet all Israel hangs on her every word.

A mass bomb threat against Jews? Who could have seen that coming?

If only there were signs.

If only we could have foreseen – somehow – that the climate in Canada would become so toxic toward Jews that now, in August of 2024, more than 100 Jewish institutions would receive a bomb threat, warning that the buildings’ occupants “will all end up in a pool of blood.”

“None of you deserve to keep living,” it read.

How did we get here?

Joanna Baron: The U.K.’s disastrous online speech laws should give Canada pause before implementing our own

“It’s absolutely ridiculous. Don’t protect the mosques. Blow the mosques up with the adults in it,” 53-year-old Julie Sweeney posted in response to a photo showing people cleaning up in the aftermath of the Southport rioting in a local Cheshire Facebook group. She later deleted her account in shame. Nevertheless, three police cars soon showed up at Sweeney’s home to arrest her. Within days, she was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment after pleading guilty to sending communications threatening death or serious harm, an offence under the U.K.’s 2023 Online Safety Act.

Canada Is On Track for Record Asylum Claims This Year

The closing of the unofficial border crossing Roxham Road last year stemmed the flow of asylum-seekers into Quebec from New York state, but overall numbers are rising in Canada with a spike in those arriving by air. The rise has many reasons behind it and can’t be accounted for by the growing scope of global conflict alone, immigration experts told The Epoch Times.

A major contributor is likely an increase in travel visa approvals.

No question Trudeau is deliberately altering Canada’s demographic to harvest future votes.

Billions in federal contracts awarded to ‘Indigenous’ enterprises without verification

The Canadian government awarded billions of dollars in contracts earmarked for Indigenous enterprises without always requiring bidders to prove that they were First Nations, Métis, or Inuit, a Global News investigation has found.

A program that now helps Indigenous businesses land more than $1.6 billion in contract awards annually, the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB), used to rely largely on an honour system, said Anispiragas Piragasanathar, a spokesman representing federal departments.

Mohammedans cancel Trudeau’s scheduled opportunity to kiss their butts

Meeting between Trudeau and Muslim leaders in Quebec called off after many refuse to attend

A meeting between Muslim leaders in Quebec and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau planned for this afternoon north of Montreal — weeks ahead of a critical byelection in the city — was cancelled after many of those invited refused to attend, CBC News has learned.

“Many members of our community continue to feel angry and frustrated with a government that in their view simply hasn’t operated with integrity in relation to what is happening in Gaza, or in addressing the steep rise of Islamophobia in Canada,” the National Council of Canadian Muslims told CBC News in a media statement.
