Head of National Microbiology Lab resigns in wake of scientist security scandal

The head of the National Microbiology Lab (NML) in Winnipeg says he is stepping down to continue his medical work and take a position at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba, CBC News has learned.

Since 2020, Dr. Guillaume Poliquin has overseen Canada’s only Level 4 virology facility, which is equipped to deal with the most serious and deadly human and animal diseases.

Poliquin announced his resignation to staff in an internal email on Tuesday.

With so little public information it isn’t hard to imagine this was much worse than we know.

More baleful byelections are brewing for the Trudeau Liberals after the fall of St. Paul’s

OTTAWA – The Liberals’ stunning defeat in the Toronto—St-Paul’s byelection this week could be just the beginning of a year of pain for the party: several more byelections are expected; all of them could happen before 2024 is over.

The Liberals currently hold three of the four seats, with some previously considered safe for the party. But so was Toronto—St. Paul’s, which the party held onto comfortably for 30 years until this week.

Eric Lombardi: How elites and established interests hijack government to crush Canada’s middle class

Today in Canada, the promise of shared prosperity and equitable growth is fading amidst escalating challenges. Our country is grappling with the fallout from a record surge in temporary immigration, pushed through without debate at the behest of influential business interests without adequate planning for infrastructure, housing, or social capacity. Construction costs and timelines for these social goods, from housing to transit to hospitals, have ballooned to comical levels.

Meanwhile, petty crime is rising as community trust erodes, homelessness is multiplying, and the cost of living has skyrocketed post-pandemic. Unemployment is inching up, especially among young adults who increasingly see the “Canadian Dream” as out of reach.

The St. Paul’s by-election was bad for the Liberals, but even worse for the NDP

The stunning upset for the Liberals in the by-election in Toronto-St. Paul’s has intensified all sorts of chatter about whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should stay on as leader. It was, after all, a catastrophic loss in a once-stronghold; one that came after the Liberals had thrown just about everything at both the riding and the general electorate. But the results were just as catastrophic for someone else, and should call into question his ongoing fledgling leadership: Jagmeet Singh.

Stolen Valour Sajjan instructed special forces to rescue Afghan Sikhs rather than Canadians during fall of Kabul

Gave his D-Day plan to Ike.

Sajjan instructed special forces to rescue Afghan Sikhs during fall of Kabul

Then-defence minister Harjit Sajjan instructed Canadian special forces to rescue about 225 Afghan Sikhs after the Taliban takeover in August, 2021, in an operation that three military sources say took resources away from getting Canadian citizens and Afghans linked to Canada on final evacuation flights out of Kabul.

Mr. Sajjan also relayed location information and other details about the Sikhs to the military as special operation forces worked to meet up with the group. The information was passed to him from a Canadian Sikh group that was in contact with these Afghan Sikhs.

Why do the Liberals find the easy parts so difficult?

The federal Liberals might poll better if they just cut back on the obviously stupid stuff.

The most recent head-scratcher out of Ottawa was that Justin Trudeau’s government needed more than 1,500 days to weigh Iran’s downing of UIA Flight 752, not to mention the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) overt backing of global terror groups, before finally agreeing to designate the IRGC as terrorists. (The Harper government designated the Quds Force, the IRGC arm in charge of overseas operations, as a terrorist organization in 2012.) Am I the only one who recalls that it took Trudeau less than 30 days following the start of the 2022 Trucker Convoy protest to seize more than 200 bank accounts (a decision a federal court later deemed to be overreach)?

Muslims and useful idiot allies try to topple Queen Victoria statue near pro-Palestinian encampment in Montreal

Muslims and useful idiot allies deface Queen Victoria statue in Montreal

Montreal police (SPVM) were called late Monday night to intervene after protesters attempted to tear down the Queen Victoria statue at Victoria Square.

This comes days after demonstrators set up a pro-Palestinian encampment in the area, a first in a public space in Montreal.

According to Montreal police spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant, officers patrolled the area and stopped the people trying to demolish the statue, but there were no attempts to dismantle the encampment.

Ottawa to investigate new head of Human Rights Commission over allegations of antisemitism

Birju Dattani – Hateful Muslim

The federal government announced it is opening up an investigation of Birju Dattani, the newly appointed head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC), after allegations of anti-Israel activism.

Just what Canada needs a f&cking Muslim to enforce Junior’s Hate Crime laws.

But have faith Junior will find the suspect faultless.

‘Rolling spy vans’? Canada weighs possible security threat of Chinese EVs

Canada is weighing whether to slap tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles to stop cheap EVs from flooding the market. But Ottawa – which has pumped billions of dollars worth of subsidies into the Canadian EV industry – says its concerns are not only economic.

“We’re also looking at the national security aspect of this; the security aspect including cybersecurity, when it comes to Chinese exports of high technology items, like EVs,” Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Monday.

Every modern vehicle is designed to spy on you personally.

Ford filed a patent for a “remote repossession” capability. You can bet the government approves.

Canada orders deportation of ex-employee of Hamas-linked aid group

Canada’s immigration tribunal has ordered the deportation of a Palestinian woman formerly employed by a Mississauga, Ont. relief group linked to Hamas.

Majeda Sarassra was deemed inadmissible to Canada on security grounds because she worked for the International Relief Fund for the Afflicted and Needy Canada.

The Immigration Appeal Division ruled the 45-year-old’s employment made her a “member” of IRFAN-Canada, which it said had engaged in terrorism.

This will be appealed forever.

Given the “political climate” I doubt she will be turfed.

Andrew Richter: Trudeau’s lack of support for the Jewish community is a purely political calculation

How can one explain the fact that a Canadian government that has been so quick to apologize for every blemish in our nation’s history has been so adverse to speaking out against the growing tide of antisemitism on display from coast to coast?

By now, the litany of incidents should be well known — Jewish schools shot at, Jewish religious institutions desecrated with racist graffiti, Jewish students being bullied and harassed. The list goes on. When these incidents began shortly after Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, one could reasonably claim that they were isolated. They have now become increasingly routine.

Poilievre will not take a stand against Islam’s pernicious influence.

Conservative win in St. Paul’s a Pyrrhic victory hopes Star columnist

Here’s how bad a loss this Toronto byelection is for Justin Trudeau — and why Pierre Poilievre now has a new problem on his hands

Pierre Poilievre and his Conservatives went into Monday’s byelection of Toronto-St. Paul’s claiming that the odds were against them in this downtown riding.

So much for that: Don Stewart is the newest member of Poilievre’s caucus.

Now, with the victory in what has been a stronghold for the Liberals — solid red for the last 31 years — it is going to be harder for the Conservatives to claim they’re underdogs whenever the next election rolls around.

That Justin Trudeau is so clever! He orchestrated that loss to sink Poilievre!
