The head of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service appeared before the foreign interference inquiry Friday to defend his agency’s work, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggested he sometimes doubts the reliability of CSIS reports.
‘”There’s been a lot of comments made about the intelligence in the media and in commission,” CSIS Director David Vigneault told the inquiry Friday morning.
“Intelligence is a little like a puzzle. Sometimes we have a very clear picture of the puzzle. Sometimes, through the use of raw intelligence and assessed intelligence, we are building that picture, but what is important to remember is that this is done by professional, trained intelligence analysts and professionals that are bringing this together.
OTTAWA—The federal government is revamping its housing efforts with a new, multi-billion dollar plan based on a bold and politically-significant premise: this is how the Trudeau Liberals will help “solve” Canada’s housing crisis.
Released Friday, the new plan capped off the government’s pre-budget rollout of new housing measures over the past two weeks, and contained a suite of spending and policy changes aimed at spurring construction and helping those who are struggling to buy homes, pay rent, and find shelter from the streets.
Garbage. Canada lacks the capacity to build the number of homes needed and until and unless they turn off the immigration tap it’s just BS.
… Have you ever wondered what you would have done in Germany in the 1930s? Would you have stood against the gathering storm? Would you have fought to save the sophisticated, civilized society that Germany was? Would you have hidden Jews or helped them escape? Or would you have stayed silent and inactive, distanced yourself, looked the other way, avoided your Jewish friends out of fear? Or worse, would you have reported them to the Gestapo?
Well, now you know.
If you are a bystander now, then you would have been then too.
Hmmm … Prior to Oct 7 a lot of bystanders were pretty fed up with groups like the ADL targeting folks for being White or like CAHN for their sole focus on those with so called “right wing extremist” political beliefs.
Before the 7th many of those now wondering at the “silence” as its come to be known were very quick to label us “Islamophobes” simply for pointing out by documented example that Islam was entirely capable of carrying out an Oct 7th like atrocity.
You consistently voted liberal-left, supported suicidal immigration policy and bludgeoned dissent with the lies of multiculturalism and diversity while demanding we deplorables learn “tolerance” and our place.
You supported DEI, CRT and the likes of BLM for God’s sake in a twisted Kumbaya orgy of anti-white hate that continues its long rotten run to this day.
But then the halcyon days of “interfaith dialogue’ and smug moral superiority came to an abrupt halt Oct 7th.
In the clever use of a proven tactic your erstwhile allies on the Liberal-Left declared that Zionists were “White.”
It didn’t matter whether you claimed to be white or not.
Anti-white hate is acceptable in Canada and has been institutionalized for years. Those who fight back are reflexively called white supremacists. It’s the norm and supported by many who wonder at the current “silence” yet voted for the political parties responsible for the blight of identity politics and official untouchable victimhood.
All I can say is welcome to the brave new world of state sanctioned hate, you reap what you sow.
The reality is the demographic makeup of western states has forever been unfavorably altered by Muslim immigration legal or illegal. There is every indication that the west’s craven political class will continue on this murderous course.
It will only get worse, never better as Europe shows.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was on the first sentence of his first answer at the public inquiry into foreign interference when it became clear that uh oh, he’d summoned That Guy.
You know the guy: Ask him a factual question and the response is a purring, generic values statement so distantly related to the original question they could legally get married.
OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre launched a full-fledged attack against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday, accusing him of having broken “with liberalism itself” and the “ivory tower elites” and “so-called experts” who support him.
Poilievre was addressing the Canada Strong and Free Conference, formerly known as the Manning Conference, where hundreds of Conservatives meet annually in Ottawa.
While reading the news on Tuesday, Vimy Ridge Day, I saw a National Post opinion piece by my old friend Rick Hillier, our former chief of defence staff (CDS). He was decrying the death of the dream that was Canada, and it was hard not to agree with his sentiments.
Affordability (or the lack thereof), ideology politics, climate alarmism, higher taxes, mounting government debt, rising antisemitism, extreme immigration, leaders dividing us — the list of what ails our once-great nation goes on. I feel the same as Hillier, and got into real trouble for saying it during a November 2022 speech at the Canadian Museum of History.
There are two peculiar and paradoxical things about the disturbing revelations that have emerged over the past few days from Justice Marie-Josée Hogue’s public inquiry into foreign interference in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
The first is that the most disturbing evidence entered into the record isn’t even really news. Pretty well all the bombshell revelations coming out of Justice Hogue’s commission hearings have been the subject of headline stories, one after the other, over the past five years.
The nation is days away from unveiling its federal budget for 2024, and a majority of Canadians are already upset.
As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his deputy and finance minister Chrystia Freeland wrap up their cross-country tour promoting facets of the budget ahead of the event, a new Angus Reid Institute poll finds the attitudes of Canadians have soured — including previous Liberal voters.
Ottawa will be home to a new $65 million installation used to control and operate the military’s future fleet of drones.
But National Defence says the exact location in the city for the new facility to accommodate 198 personnel, simulators and drone control systems must remain secret.
The Canadian parliament broke into God Save the King after MPs voted against removing the oath of allegiance.
The Government and most of the Liberal and Conservative MPs joined forces to vote down the private member’s bill, which was supported by the Left-wing NDP and nationalist Bloc Québécois parties.
MPs voted to keep Section 128, which requires that new parliamentarians must swear to be “faithful and bear true allegiance” to the reigning monarch, by 113 votes to 197.
MPs sing God Save the King in the House of Commons after defeating a motion that would have made the oath to Canada's monarch optional for MPs.
