A cluster of mysterious brain diseases has struck down at least 200 people in a small province and baffled doctors.
More than 200 residents in New Brunswick, Canada, have been affected by the dementia-like disorder that causes vivid hallucinations, an inability to talk and write, memory lapses and even physical paralysis.
Experts say the cases date back to 2015 and are among people aged 18 to 84, dozens of whom were healthy before being struck down by the mystery illness.
Opposition MPs have raised questions about a meeting in April 2016 between the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and senior government officials in the building that houses the Prime Minister’s Office. It turns out the foundation had two more such meetings in the building, according to records seen by The Epoch Times.
Along with the April 2016 meeting, which was first reported by Montreal’s La Presse newspaper in April 2022, documents obtained through access to information indicate the foundation held another meeting in the building in January 2016 and a subsequent one in March 2017.
Given that he died in 1891, the facts of Sir John A. Macdonald’s life are unchangeable. The story of his life, however, has changed dramatically. For most of Canada’s history, Macdonald was considered a nation-builder worthy of celebration and veneration. Today he is a war criminal, at least to hear some tell it. But a proper and balanced consideration of Macdonald’s life reveals that, through his own actions and policies, Canada’s first prime minister was directly and deliberately responsible for saving the lives of untold numbers of Indigenous people. Given the temper of our times, this is not likely to be a popular notion. But that does not make it any less true.
The prime minister says he’s not opposed to the idea of changing the lyrics of Canada’s national anthem, but said rewrites will only come after consultation with Canadians.
Calls are growing to change the words “home and native land” to “home on native land” after singer Jully Black sang the latter while performing O Canada at the 2023 NBA all-star game. The Assembly of First Nations honoured Black in response to the lyrical tweak.
On June 22, the Canadian Parliament passed Bill C-18, also known as the Online News Act. The new law, according to a government news release, “will require the largest digital platforms”—in effect, calling out Facebook, Instagram, and Google without naming them—“to bargain fairly with Canadian news businesses for the use of their news content.” The intent here is to even out the skewed market imbalance between Canadian journalism and Big Tech platforms, many of which have offered distribution pathways and occasional payment agreements to digital news sites while also sapping them of revenue from native advertising—a sector dominated by those very corporations.
OTTAWA – NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he gave a stern warning to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to not use the lack of consensus from opposition parties as an excuse to delay or drop a public inquiry into foreign interference.
Posturing ass.
For two years, Kathryn Hewlett’s entire life has been packed into a 20-foot-long vehicle. She has a small bed, a bathroom, a stove and a dining table cramped within feet of each other.
She’s constantly roaming, looking for the next place to park. While she’s grateful to have a roof over her head, she wants a stable place she can call home.
“It’s come to this point where I can’t continue psychologically, I can’t continue doing this as I’ve been doing for two years” said Hewlett, who is originally from Pennsylvania and currently lives in an RV full-time in Newfoundland and Labrador
Housing starts are falling, immigration is rising. Cui bono?

A plaintiff in the massive lawsuit against the Canadian military over its imposition of COVID jab mandates condemned the requirements in comments to LifeSiteNews this week, arguing the rules that have forced out many otherwise battle-ready soldiers is an example of “friendly fire through policy.”
Immigrants taking the Canadian citizenship oath at ceremonies are receiving maple leaf pins made in China, federal records show.
According to a House “Inquiry of Ministry” document obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, the Department of Immigration ordered a quarter-million pins from a Chinese vendor last year.
The 250,000 pins were purchased “for distribution at citizenship ceremonies,” wrote the department, in response to Conservative MP John Brassard’s request for the records.
Justin Trudeau is looking for ‘full buy-in’ from opposition parties to launch ‘any next process’
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the government would need “full buy-in” by opposition parties to launch “any next process” to look into foreign interference, but political insiders are suggesting Liberals cannot “play politics” as an excuse to escape a public inquiry.
These days, it’s difficult to find a politician who doesn’t claim to support building more housing. To come out against housing affordability would be politically toxic, so instead, many have decided to say one thing publicly, do the complete opposite in practice and hope no one uses actual data to expose their duplicity.
How about simply turning off the mass immigration tap?
An ad hoc committee of parliamentarians has begun its probe into previously withheld documents related to the firing of two infectious-disease scientists from Canada’s highest-security lab in Winnipeg, according to a report.
“Work is underway and documents are available to the committee members. They work independently,” said Mark Kennedy, communications director for Government House Leader Mark Holland, according to the Globe and Mail on June 29.
Why doesn’t Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ever criticize U.S. President Joe Biden for failing to impose a national carbon tax on Americans?
Aren’t we constantly being told putting a price on greenhouse gas emissions is the best way to combat climate change?
Northvolt Is Near Deal With Canada on $5.3 Billion Battery Plant
Swedish manufacturer Northvolt AB is close to a deal to build an electric-vehicle battery plant near Montreal, a project that’s expected to be worth about C$7 billion ($5.3 billion), according to people familiar with the matter.

An announcement is likely to be made in the coming weeks, though negotiators are still working on final details, they said, speaking on condition they not be identified because the matter is private.
