The Prairie provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan are united in their opposition to Ottawa’s sustainable jobs act and net-zero plan.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe told reporters on June 14 that his province will not be implementing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s ‘Just Transition’ legislation, as Bill C-50 has been called, and will also not be taking part in any discussions.
It is in America’s interest to find out the salacious details of foreign interference in democratic elections, especially when it occurs in our northern neighbor.
Unless its wildfires cause the skies in New York City to turn the color of a sci-fi dystopia, Americans tend not to think much about Canada. But you know who has not forgotten about our neighbor to the north? China’s ruler, Xi Jinping.
As part of China’s unfriendly competition with the West, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) chairman appears to have overseen a far-reaching and complicated effort to advance Beijing’s interests through direct interference in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
The timing couldn’t have been better for Calgary-based Kanin Energy to open an office in Texas last year. It was just as the U.S. government unveiled its massive climate bill, including tens of billions of dollars in new subsidies and other incentives for clean energy.
Kanin Energy develops facilities that use high temperature waste heat from industrial facilities to produce electricity. The new U.S. subsidies now cover up to half the cost of those projects.
“Not only are we seeing a lot of traction in Houston and Texas and in the United States in general, now there’s all these incentives that have really turbocharged our economics for our projects,” Janice Tran, the company’s CEO, said from her office in Houston. “So it made even more sense to actually kind of double down and grow here.”
It’s corporate welfare on a massive scale and the tax payer foots the bill.
The president of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, B.C., was shot dead Sunday night in the temple’s parking lot, according to members of the province’s Sikh community.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s death was confirmed by the temple’s vice-president and Sikh community groups, and he is being mourned widely on social media.
… The vice-president of the gurdwara, Amandeep Singh Johal, told CBC News that Nijjar, 45, was an activist with the Sikh independence group Sikhs for Justice.
In 2016, CBC News reported that the government of India was seeking Nijjar’s extradition from Canada on charges related to extremism.
India behind this? I would not be surprised given Junior’s select tolerance for extremism.

THE MUMBAI police have begun the process of seeking extradition of Chaneparambil Mohammed Bashir, alleged SIMI leader and an accused in the Mulund blasts of 2003, who was detained by the authorities in Canada after he tried to fly out from there earlier this week.
A Red Corner Notice was issued against him after he was named as one of the wanted accused in the Mulund blasts case, in which12 people had lost their lives.
Better known as CAM Bashir, he was born in Kerala and was an aeronautical engineer before he is alleged to have become the national president of the banned SIMI. His name was on the list of India’s 50 most wanted criminals who were alleged to be hiding in Pakistan in 2011.
If there’s one non-partisan, independent public inquiry Canada needs as much as one on foreign interference, it’s an examination of how the country has descended into a housing affordability crisis.
This would be a look back at this slow-rolling disaster played out over years, beginning in Vancouver and Toronto, then spreading to Halifax, Guelph, Ont., and Kelowna, B.C. For a long time, it wasn’t an issue prioritized by politicians – maybe they thought it would sort itself out. Or perhaps it was because nearly all policy-makers already owned homes.
Federal Justice Minister David Lametti says he is open to the recommendations in a new report that proposes civil and criminal sanctions against Canadians who engage in residential-school denialism.
Lametti was responding to an interim report by his appointee, Kimberly Murray, a member of the Kahnesatake Mohawk Nation in Quebec, who was tasked in June 2022 to identify measures including legal ones to address what the government said were unmarked graves and burial sites of children at former Indian residential schools.
Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole says as more reports of alleged foreign interference have surfaced, including ones involving himself, the Liberals and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have not done enough to “safeguard” democracy.
That’s because Trudeau and the Liberals work for the CCP.
Ottawa’s favourite game show – gong show, some might say – is about to begin. And now, here he is, your host for the evening, Justin Trudeau.
“Good evening everyone and welcome to Name That Minister. Let’s see if our panel can guess their identity.
“Who said that he was shocked that serial killer Paul Bernardo was being transferred from maximum to medium-security detention, though his office knew in advance?”
Thirteen years ago, the then newly-appointed director of the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service warned Canadians about the growing threat of interference by China.
It almost ended Richard Fadden’s career. It’s also why he would be an excellent choice to head a public inquiry into foreign interference today.
A military administrative tribunal has found the Canadian Armed Forces’ (CAF) COVID-19 vaccine mandate violated the charter rights of members who refused vaccination and said the policy was “arbitrary” in some aspects and “overly broad.”
“I conclude that the limitation of the grievors’ right to liberty and security of the person by the CAF vaccination policy is not in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice because the policy, in some aspects, is arbitrary, overly broad and disproportionate,” wrote Nina Frid of the Military Grievances External Review Committee (MGERC) in a May 30 decision.
In times like these — especially during “Pride Month” — it’s uplifting to encounter someone like Bill Whatcott, who has won against a tyrannical government pushing LGBT madness.
Canada has been even more militant than the U.S. against citizens who push back against that ruthless agenda. Canada has no First Amendment. And its “Charter Rights” that should guarantee free speech are easily ignored.
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank said it welcomed a investigation by the Canadian government into allegations that the institution faces interference from the Chinese Communist Party.
The review is a “relatively modest and appropriate step,” AIIB Vice President and Corporate Secretary Ludger Schuknecht said Thursday in an interview. “We welcome this review by Canada, because it will mean transparency, and we have nothing to hide.”
And if AIIB now has “nothing to hide,” then will there also be AIIB transparency about the Russian procurement meeting that this man has been quietly organizing with the staunch internal backing of Chinese Communist Party members inside the Bank? 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 @cafreeland https://t.co/FsLV8QIAWO

Many liberals celebrated when Hamtramck, Michigan, elected a Muslim-majority council in 2015 but a vote to exclude LGBTQ+ flags from city property has soured relations
In 2015, many liberal residents in Hamtramck, Michigan, celebrated as their city attracted international attention for becoming the first in the United States to elect a Muslim-majority city council.
They viewed the power shift and diversity as a symbolic-but-meaningful rebuke of the Islamophobic rhetoric that was a central theme of then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign.
I’m enjoying this way too much.
Meanwhile in Canada …

Canada is a committed, agreeable ally. So why, NATO countries are wondering, is it not getting up to speed on spending targets?
BRUSSELS/OTTAWA — NATO loves Canada — but hates its defense spending.
The North American country has a reputation within the West’s military alliance as an agreeable partner: Reliably committed to transatlantic relations, never obstructionist, and, well, just pleasant to work with.
But with a war on, that’s not enough.
