The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is governed by a board of up to 18 directors, and Canada’s industry minister has the power to appoint two of those directors, something charity expert Kate Bahen says she has never seen before.
It’s “highly unusual” for the government to have this influence on a charity, even when the government gives an endowment, Bahen told The Epoch Times.
That’s a very blurred line.
Trying to pick a side in the public servants’ strike? Here’s how I break the situation down.
While not normally the biggest fan of public sector unions, I have to say that the Public Service Alliance of Canada’s position is reasonable, in most respects. The exception is the 30-per-cent increase that 35,000 Canada Revenue Agency employees are seeking. The number is so ridiculous it’s not even worth examining.
Is Jagmeet Singh a fool? It may not be our most important public policy question today, which would be something like “Is Canada’s Prime Minister a Chinese Communist pawn?” or “Is liberalism the ideology of Western suicide?” But it keeps coming up, most recently when the NDP voted with the Liberals to shut down a Parliamentary committee inquiry into CCP donations to the Trudeau Foundation. And it matters whether public events are driven primarily by cunning or folly.
Singh is a grifter nothing more.
Islamophobia widespread in Canada, early findings of Senate committee study indicate
Islamophobia and violence against Muslims is widespread and deeply entrenched in Canadian society, early findings from a Senate committee studying the issue indicate.
Muslim women who wear hijabs – Black Muslim women in particular – are the most vulnerable, and confronting Islamophobia in a variety of public spheres is difficult, the committee on human rights has found.
“Canada has a problem,” committee chair Sen. Salma Ataullahjan said in a phone interview with The Canadian Press.
TORONTO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told NATO officials privately that Canada will never meet the military alliance’s defense spending target, according to a leaked secret Pentagon assessment obtained by The Washington Post. The document’s anonymous authors say Canada’s “widespread” military deficiencies are harming ties with security partners and allies.
Two Canadian women and three teenage girls who were set to be repatriated from camps for family members of ISIS suspects in Syria were instead detained and mistreated by their Kurdish guards rather than being taken to their pick-up point, their lawyer says.
The women have been missing ever since the repatriation flight to Canada took off without them more than 10 days ago.
Edmonton lawyer Zachary Al-Khatib told CBC News that one of the women was able to make a short phone call to a relative Tuesday before the line dropped after 4 minutes.
Asked this week about the need for Ottawa to create a foreign influence registry, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the internment of Japanese-Canadians in the Second World War and warned against the dangers of creating “registries of foreigners in Canada.”
The one thing has nothing to do with the other, as we will show. So the question becomes, why is Mr. Trudeau sowing confusion about a registry that exists in the United States and Australia, and which, somehow, has not led to the mass incarceration of citizens in those countries?
Race baiting is what Trudeau does.
Canadians who took part in a federal focus-group research study were skeptical about the government’s climate change policies, saying they would add financial burdens to households but do little to reduce emissions.
“It was felt that many federal actions such as the introduction of a federal price on carbon had placed too much of a financial burden on the individual and that not enough focus was being devoted to reducing the emissions of large businesses and corporations,” said the resulting report, titled “Continuous Qualitative Data Collection Of Canadians’ Views.”
Opinion: We also learned last month that Canada’s five biggest banks are helping to keep house listings at record lows.
Back in 2015 and 2016, home prices in Vancouver and Toronto skyrocketed to record highs. Much of the attention was on foreign wealth being parked in real estate. Housewives and students were buying multi-million-dollar homes in Vancouver.
Two Ontario doctors accused of spreading COVID misinformation, including one who provided groundless vaccine exemptions to 168 people, attesting that the shots would expose them to “unacceptable medical risk,” have agreed to give up their licences to practise, and to never seek one again.
Very harsh penalties.
… “It’s really about the foundations of our society, the capitalist system, the culture of extraction, and we need to change that. How do we do that?” one expert asked in the report released on April 17.
“If we don’t address capitalism, if we don’t address colonialism, racism, the patriarchy etcetera we are going to tread water for a long time until we eventually drown,” said another.
The report, titled, “What We Heard: Perspectives On Climate Change And Public Health In Canada,” was commissioned by Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam in order to analyze the impact of climate change on the health and well-being of Canadians, as well as to identify “how public health systems need to be strengthened to undertake this work.”
I have always thought Tam was working for the ChiComs for some reason.
OTTAWA – An attempt by the Conservatives to have a parliamentary committee undertake a study aimed at “getting to the bottom of dishonest conduct and attempted foreign interference” of the Trudeau Foundation was voted down by the Liberals and the NDP on Monday.
Arguably, humans and nation-states share at least one desirable characteristic: the capacity for self-awareness. In periods of stability, self-awareness need not be at the top of the list of the most desired characteristics. However, with the rapid political and social changes taking place in the world right now, self-awareness, for both individuals and governments, is critical.
At the beginning of the pandemic, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau repeatedly used the phrase, “We are all in this together and we are there for you,” speaking about the federal government.
But during the pandemic, Canadians learned they weren’t all in this together. Not really.
That there were two classes of Canadians — those in the public sector and those in the private sector.
They were supposed to come home from Syria. Instead two Canadian women, three teen girls have gone missing
Two Canadian women and three teenage girls are missing somewhere in northeast Syria, after an attempt by the Canadian government to repatriate them earlier this month failed.
In an audio recording obtained by the Star, a Global Affairs Canada consular official tells the mother of one of the women that she is “devastated” by their disappearance.
“This has happened to other countries, and they tried to warn us, and when it did actually happen … we’re kind of shocked by it,” the senior consular official said in the April 11 call.
