Ottawa plays down British travel advisory that says terror attack attempt in Canada is ‘very likely’

The federal government is playing down a recent British government warning that says an attempted terrorist attack in Canada is “very likely.”

Earlier this month the British government updated its travel advice for citizens visiting Canada, saying that “terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Canada.”

Britain has the same warning level on its travel advisories for the United States and some Western European countries, including France, Spain and Germany. But the British safety and security advice does not apply to all of North America – its assessment of Mexico only says “terrorist attacks in Mexico cannot be ruled out.”

24% of Canadians will turn to charitable services for help within the next six months, new poll suggests

Nearly one in four Canadians will need charitable services to meet their needs through the holiday season, a new Ipsos and CanadaHelps poll suggests. Over 40 per cent of those who say they will need support are under 35 years old.

The poll illuminates the growing demand for social and charitable services amidst a growing and persisting cost-of-living crisis. Food bank use has skyrocketed to record levels and reliance on government social assistance programs continues to grow. A Leger poll from September 2023 found that nearly half of Canadians were living paycheque to paycheque. Financial stress among Canadians jumped 20 per cent since last year, amounting to a “national emergency,” the National Payroll Institute said in an Oct. 2023 report.

GUNTER: Bloc supporting Trudeau punishes rest of Canada

It’s no surprise the Bloc Quebecois voted with the Liberals on Monday to maintain the federal carbon tax on home heating. Of course, they did.

Quebecers don’t pay the federal carbon tax. That province has its own made-in-Quebec carbon-pricing scheme, so voting to continue imposing the Liberals’ system on the rest of the country had no consequences for Quebecers, and thus few political consequences for the Bloc.

Why isn’t Canada cracking down on this Indian student visa scam?

Canada’s rift with India continues. It’s been almost two months since Canada’s prime minister Justin Trudeau accused ‘agents of the government of India’ of assassinating Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Nijjar. The two countries have been in a diplomatic stand-off ever since, with trade talks suspended and Ottawa failing to provide any concrete proof behind its claim that Nijjar was killed under direction from Modi. But the possibility that Nijjar’s death was a result of gang activity between warring factions of criminal Sikh gang members in Canada has put a spotlight on the country’s growing Punjabi community and highlighted questions over Canada’s international student visa and immigration fraud.

Canadian restaurants struggle to survive as survey finds diners turning away from skyrocketing menu prices

Siva Sathasivam, owner of Uncle Tony’s restaurant in downtown Toronto, has fought hard to keep menu prices down amid skyrocketing food and rent costs — but it has come at a price.

The 60-year-old has had to cut staff over the last few years and is now down to only one server at his restaurant most days — himself.

“I’m reducing my own labour costs so that I can be in business,” Sathasivam said.

If you voted for Trudeau or Chow then you voted to put yourself out of business.

CCP’s Enhanced, Covert Interference in Canada: A Deeper Look

As China’s foreign interference in Canada draws increasing scrutiny, a new report details how the communist regime influences politicians and stifles persecuted groups. Notably, it highlights ongoing efforts to suppress support for Falun Gong adherents and their quest to end the persecution of their spiritual practice, which began in 1999.

The 130-page report, released by the Falun Dafa Association of Canada (FDAC) on Oct. 25, details Chinese Communist Party (CCP) strategies for foreign interference, focusing on adherents of Falun Dafa, also called Falun Gong, in Canada.

Shocka! MPs vote down Poilievre’s push to expand carbon price pause

The motion by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to have Ottawa extend its carbon price pause to all forms of home heating has been defeated as the Bloc Quebecois joined the Liberals to vote down the motion.

The non-binding motion, which meant it would not need to be acted on by the government, had the support of the NDP, but still failed to get a majority with 135 voting in favour while 186 voted against.

India envoy tells Ottawa to produce evidence that New Delhi was behind killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar

India’s High Commissioner to Canada is urging Ottawa to release evidence backing up its accusation that agents of the Indian government were behind the killing of a prominent British Columbia Sikh separatist leader, a charge that ruptured bilateral relations after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced it in September.

In an interview on Friday, the commissioner, Sanjay Kumar Verma, told The Globe and Mail that India has not been shown concrete evidence by Canada or Canada’s allies that Indian agents were involved in the June gangland-style slaying of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, which took place in Burnaby, B.C.
