Surprise, alarm from U of T faculty as school warns of termination for those who don’t leave pro-Palestinian encampment before deadline

The University of Toronto Faculty Association reacted with surprise and alarm to a school warning that professors and staff who refuse to leave a pro-Palestinian encampment on campus before a Monday morning deadline could face disciplinary measures, including termination.

The warning was contained in a trespass notice the university sent Friday to the protesters at the encampment on King’s College Circle, one of dozens of pro-Palestinian protests on campuses across North America that have been calling for universities to divest from companies connected to the Israeli military.

Trudeau’s Canada: Struggling to make ends meet, Ukrainian family that escaped war reconsidering choice of coming to Canada

A Ukrainian family that came to Canada to escape the war is having second thoughts about their new home because of the economic situation.

The Sadovnyks are reconsidering life in Quebec, just outside of Montreal, for financial reasons.

“They like it here but it’s just a question of money,” family friend Oleg Koleboshyn told CityNews.

“They wanted to move to Canada. It was an opportunity for them.”

At least they can return to the Ukraine. Most Canadians have no place to go!

Jesse Kline: The wrath of Khan, and the failure of Trudeau

JERUSALEM — Israelis are more divided than ever before, but are united against the idea of their highly unpopular prime minister standing trial over his prosecution of the war in Gaza.

On Monday, International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Karim Khan announced that he’s seeking arrest warrants, not only for three Hamas leaders who orchestrated the barbaric October 7 massacre — in which 3,000 terrorists flooded across the border with Gaza, raping, torturing and slaughtering 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking around 250 hostage — but also for the two men charged with ensuring such atrocities never happen again: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.

Cory Morgan: With the RCMP Facing Challenges on Many Fronts, the Time Has Come to Revise Its Role

The image of an RCMP officer wearing the traditional red serge is arguably the most iconic and recognized symbol of Canada worldwide. Hollywood and authors created heroic characters from Mounties and coined the phrase, “The Mountie always gets his man!”

Now, as the RCMP enters its 151st year as a force, the stories tell a different tale. Canadians are observing a police force in decline that’s dealing with issues of low officer morale, allegations of federal political interference, and declining public trust. Where it was once difficult to wade through the many applicants to become an RCMP officer, the force is now suffering from a recruitment crisis so dire that it may even be forced to cut its famous Musical Ride.

Conrad Black: The demonization of John A. Macdonald is tiresome

As Tristin Hopper and Jamie Sarkonak thoroughly outlined in the National Post this week, the national orgy of mistaken identity-self-flagellation over the moral and ethical, historic and current character of Canada, and particularly the singling out and dispatch to the stocks for constant public ridicule and denigration of the country’s chief founder, John A. Macdonald, has excavated a new low in official self-denunciation. A fine Victorian home in Kingston, Ont., Bellevue House, which Macdonald occupied for only two years in the 1840s has been renovated and reopened as a historic site in order to highlight what the invited lecturer Channon Oyeniran described at the reopening on May 18, as Canada, like the United States, being “steeped in racism, colonialism, white supremacy and other legacies of enslavement.” These sentiments were echoed by other speakers.

After Billions of Dollars in Losses, Canada Post Warns It May Run Out of Cash

Canada Post ended the week with more grim financial news, announcing an operating loss of 221 million Canadian dollars for the first three months of the year. That came on top of an announcement at the beginning of the month that it had lost 748 million dollars last year.

The government-owned postal service has now accumulated more than 3 billion dollars in losses since 2018, and it offered a bleak look ahead in the 2023 annual report it released this month.

Visiting Ottawa, it was sad to see what has become of my hometown

… Not only did the central core resemble a ghost town – mostly because thousands of civil servants, backed by powerful unions, refuse to return to their office desks – but many of the walking routes I used to take through downtown have morphed into a distressing obstacle course of homeless people camped out on the sidewalks. In fact, the last time I felt like that – and I’ve been to some of the meanest cities in the world – was in Pretoria, South Africa, around the time of the BRICS summit last year, when a wrong turn to the diplomatic quarter brought a few anxious encounters. On many strolls through my former home, I shook my head in disbelief thinking, “This isn’t the Ottawa I know or love.”

Trudeau plans to F*ck Canadians over and let illegal alien invaders stay

Plan to let undocumented migrants stay in Canada to be examined by PM, ministers

The federal cabinet could discuss plans as early as next week to provide a path to citizenship for thousands of migrants living in Canada without valid documents, including rejected asylum seekers, so they can remain here legally.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller is preparing a plan for discussion by cabinet before Parliament breaks for its summer recess within weeks.

It would propose that people living in Canada without legal status – including former international students whose study permits have expired – have a chance to apply to regularize their position and gain permanent residence.

This says Trudeau wants to cause as much harm as possible before he gets the boot.

CHARLEBOIS: Canada’s Competition Bureau takes a stand, finally!

The recent move by Canada’s Competition Bureau to investigate the parent companies of grocery giants Loblaws and Sobeys marks a significant step in addressing anticompetitive behaviour in the retail grocery sector.

This investigation, initiated on March 1, focuses on the alleged use of property controls by these firms, which purportedly restrict competition through their lease agreements and control over land vacancies. With these two companies holding a combined market share of over 50% in the Canadian food retailing market, the potential implications are substantial.

I posted the CBC’s take on the investigation earlier and it drew criticism suggesting restrictive covenants are a fit and proper commercial activity designed to protect tenants from loss of income. But why do we see retail clusters as in clothing stores or automobiles where competitors sit cheek by jowl?

Charlebois’s take is a bit more informative on the degree to which such covenants may be distorting the retail grocery market in Canada.

The use of foodbanks has skyrocketed under Trudeau and I do not trust his friend Galen the bread thief to do the right thing.

CSIS warns some LGBTQ2 events, venues may face threats from ‘lone actors’

Canada’s national intelligence agency is warning that “inspired lone actors” could target crowded or unsecured Pride events and LGBTQ2 venues this year, inspired by growing anti-LGBTQ2 rhetoric and incitements online.

The warning comes after the U.S. government issued a worldwide travel advisory last week about threats of potential “foreign terrorist organization-inspired violence” against the LGBTQ2 community.

The US is a little more honest than Canada in declaring the threat comes from “Foreign terrorist organizations.”

Chinese officials and Triads flooding illegal immigrants into United States: Canadian Report

In 1993 a confidential Canadian report from Hong Kong warned that an unprecedented flood of illegal immigration from Mainland China was threatening North America because China’s government was collaborating with drug-smuggling Triads and corrupt Latin American officials in the multi-billion-dollar business of trafficking human cargo into the United States.

A covering memo explained the Consular report was contentious and “highly sensitive” but also included powerful evidence, as U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) had informed Canada a Chinese Communist leader, the Governor of Fujian, had ties with Hong Kong’s largest Triad.

Details of the lengthy study, Passports of Convenience, Corrupt Officials and Triad Involvement in Illegal Immigration, have never been reported.

Canada, Allies Push ‘Gender-Inclusive’ Aid to Ukraine as War Maims, Kills Mainly Men

When Canada announced $3 billion in aid to Ukraine on the anniversary of its invasion by Russia in February, one item that drew some attention was a $4 million allocation for “gender-inclusive demining” in Ukraine.

“What’s woke and what’s a joke: Canada implements gender-inclusive Ukraine support,” headlined Sky News Australia following the announcement. Fox News matched with: “We now need diversity guidelines for clearing landmines.”
