Trial for Convoy Organizers Lich and Barber Sees Barber in Video Addressing Self-Declared ‘Queen of Canada’

OTTAWA—As the trial of trucker convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber moved to its eighth day, lawyers continued to show videos of the protest that took place in downtown Ottawa in January and February 2022. Defence lawyers on Sept. 14 showed footage of Mr. Barber condemning the leader of a group that tried to burn a Canadian flag during the protest.

“You don’t belong to our group, Ms. Romana,” Mr. Barber said in a Feb. 3 TikTok video in reaction to news that Romana Didulo and her followers had attempted to destroy a Canadian flag.

Why are the Canadian women of ISIS coming home without being charged?

The diehards of ISIS were surrounded and making their last stand in Baghuz, Syria, in 2019 when a Canadian who had married into the terrorist group surrendered.

U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters took Kimberly Polman to a prison called Roj Camp, where she told Global News she understood she might be put on trial once she returned to Canada.

“I’m not above the law,” she said.

Unlike barbaric nations such as France, Germany and the USA Canada does not believe that women are capable of being real terrorists or doing bad things and besides Islam is a religion of peace.

Trudeau announces new measures to deal with housing, grocery prices

Faced with increasing pressure to respond to widespread concerns about the cost of living and questions about his leadership, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a series of new measures Thursday meant to deal with rising housing and grocery prices.

Trudeau’s announcement came at the conclusion of a Liberal caucus meeting in London, Ont. that included what one minister called a “robust” discussion of the government’s challenges and sagging political fortunes.

Poilievre releases housing plan he says would ‘build homes, not bureaucracy’

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre released Thursday a housing plan he said would fast-track the construction of new homes in Canada as the country grapples with an acute shortage of affordable places to live.

Poilievre said that after eight years in government, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals have failed to stimulate the construction of enough homes to meet demand — a situation that has made young people increasingly disillusioned about their financial futures.

Interesting – both are getting hammered in the comments.

LETTER TO U.S. CONGRESS REGARDING CANADA, 9/14/23.

… As Americans we have a duty and obligation to provide our lawmakers with information that may reveal emerging threats and any unlawful activities, both domestic and foreign, against the U.S. government.

Our overall concern is that it appears the Canadian government is enacting policies that are slowing chipping away at the freedoms, liberties, and individual rights of its citizens and therefore can have profound negative impact on our relations with that government.

It is no secret that the Chinese Communist party is making its mark both here in the United States and Canada. But, more-so in Canada because the people of that nation do not have the Constitutional protections, we in America have.

7 years not enough to build the millions of homes needed to fix affordability, warns economist

Canada has no chance of building the additional millions of homes Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. projects would be needed to restore housing affordability over the next seven years, according to the chief economist of Desjardins Group.

Speaking at a panel on the current housing market crisis hosted by the Economic Club of Canada in Toronto on Sept. 12, Desjardins’ Jimmy Jean said it took “not seven years, not 10 years, not 15 years, but 30 years” to build the last 5.8 million homes in Canada.

This issue alone should kill Trudeau but Canada is a pretty messed up Banana republic.

I doubt his base will abandon Junior and all he needs is a good showing by the NDP to remain in power.

The “Affordability issue” may be tamped down if home owner equity is protected by the ongoing shortage. This will be especially true of eastern urban centres, traditional LPC strongholds. People vote with their wallets.

Do not expect significantly lowered immigration targets, the emerging narrative is to caution against blaming “immigrants” when a made in Canada “housing crisis” is really to blame.

The narrative implies that criticism of an extraordinarily callous mass immigration policy that stresses all of Canada’s infrastructure to the breaking point is criticism of immigrants and of course that’s racist.

In short the same old same old – Canadian citizens are labeled racist whenever they attempt to stand up for their own best interests against the UNIPARTY and their corporate cronies.

On The Bright Side More Dead Canadians Good For The Environment

The average life expectancy for Canadians decreased, and 4 other takeaways from a just-released health report

The data collected mid-way through the pandemic shows the impact of COVID-19, especially when it comes to how long Canadians are living.

The life expectancy for Canadians, which was at a steady incline since the 1980s, began to decline in 2020 and again in 2021, as a direct result of staggering death rates related to COVID-19, as well as substance-related harms that increased during the pandemic. In 2021, the life expectancy at birth dropped to 81.6 from 81.7 in 2020.

Terry Glavin: Chong lauded by U.S. lawmakers while a scolded Trudeau has wings clipped

It made for quite the study in contrasts.

Conservative MP Michael Chong was applauded by a bipartisan committee of U.S. lawmakers in Washington, D.C., this week for standing up for China’s persecuted Uyghurs and for shining a light on Beijing’s concerted strategy of harassment, intimidation, influence-peddling and political interference in Canada.

Michael Taube: After the Latest Michael Chong Revelations, Will Ottawa Take Action Against Beijing?

There’s a new revelation in Conservative MP Michael Chong’s ongoing saga with China. Maybe it will finally lead the federal government to take action against this communist regime.

In early May, Globe and Mail investigative journalists Robert Fife and Steven Chase published contents of an eyebrow-raising July 20, 2021, Canadian Security Intelligence Service report. It revealed that Canada was regarded as a “high-priority target” by China, which had used “incentives and punishment” to gain an advantage that was “expected to continue and increase over time.” CSIS also mentioned that a Ministry of State Security officer had attempted to obtain information about an MP’s relatives “who may be located in the PRC, for further potential sanctions.” This strategy was “almost certainly meant to make an example of this MP and deter others from taking anti-PRC positions.”

CBC refers to mutilation of children’s sex organs as “medical interventions” implies Poilievre should endorse this depravity

Poilievre not saying whether he’ll support ban on medical interventions for trans minors

Conservative Party members may have voted clearly in favour of banning medical interventions for transgender youth, but party leader Pierre Poilievre still isn’t saying whether he thinks the policy should become law.

While visiting Nanaimo, B.C. on Tuesday, Poilievre made his first public comments on the proposal since this past weekend’s Conservative Party policy convention.

He was asked specifically whether he supports the ban.

In a normal country the police would be investigating the diddlers at CBC.

Vivek Dehejia: Leave it to Justin Trudeau to further degrade Canada-India relations

If Canada-India bilateral relations were in the deep freeze after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s gaffe-ridden visit to India in 2018, following last weekend’s G20 summit in New Delhi, they are now officially in the Arctic tundra. The G20 was a perfect opportunity for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reset the relationship. But it was not to be.

An Arctic war is coming – The fight is on for the spoils beneath the ice

In a land of extremes, nowhere in the Arctic does the temperature oscillate more wildly than the tiny settlement of Fort Yukon in north-eastern Alaska. This village — of a few hundred residents belonging to the indigenous Gwich’in community, and which is only accessible by air, boat or snowmobile, depending on the time of year — has the distinction of being both the coldest and warmest place in Alaska.

Jamie Sarkonak: Trudeau’s defective plane the latest example of Canadian decline

It should be easy for a G7 country to provide its leader with functional structures of office — that is, physical structures — suited to the esteem of a government head.

Official residences of leaders should be understated, but in an old-money kind of way. Clothing should be well-made. Transport fleets should be functional and, yes, classy. Democratic leaders shouldn’t seem to come from 17th century-Versailles, but they should be able to show (and not just tell) that their nations are prosperous and successful. But Canada and, to an extent, the Anglo world, are failing to keep to these basic standards, which, paradoxically, benefits the lazy elite.
