As the old saying goes, there are some things one must never discuss in polite company. Politics and money usually top the list.
If you’ve ever been to a NATO leaders’ summit, you know these gatherings are the epitome of polite company (with the exception of Donald Trump).
NATO leaders — at least in public — sometimes go far, far out of their way to avoid criticizing other leaders and nations, especially those who are perceived as not pulling their weight.
Ontario’s NDP has proposed a bill that would allow the province to ban anti-LGBTQ protests from taking place within the vicinity of certain queer events. While violent protests and bigotry are unacceptable, the bill is poorly thought-out and unacceptably infringes upon Canadians’ civil liberties.
Cross-dressers, Islamists and anti-semites that is one big tent, but still room for NAMBLA I bet …
Recent intelligence leaks that revealed Chinese agents trying to manipulate Canadian election outcomes were just the latest wake-up call that the Beijing regime is not a responsible international stakeholder, let alone a trustworthy friend or partner of Canada.
China’s consulate in Vancouver conducts political screening on the potential leadership at influential community organizations that promote candidates for Canadian political office, according to a recording obtained by The Globe and Mail of remarks by a former executive of one of those groups.
Based in Richmond, B.C., the Canadian Community Service Association, or CCSA, regularly attracts Canadian political leaders and Chinese diplomats to its events, calling itself “the Chinese community’s spiritual home,” and a hub for trade and cultural exchange between the two countries.
We have serious security issues with 5th Columns in Canada.
This is what Multiculturalism has brought us to. Tell the Uniparty to take a hike.
The mood inside a downtown Toronto courtroom turned grimly quiet Wednesday after prosecutors played video footage of a five-year-old girl lying on her side and bleeding from her head moments after she had been shot while attending a baby’s birthday party.
She was one of four people injured when gunfire erupted at the celebration two summers ago in Rexdale, sparking citywide outrage, condemnation and calls for justice.
Two Canadian women arrested after repatriation from camps in northeastern Syria
The RCMP have arrested two Canadian women in Montreal after the government repatriated them from a camp in northeastern Syria for ISIS suspects and their families, said their lawyer Lawrence Greenspon.
Greenspon told CBC News the Crown is seeking a terrorism peace bond, which would mean the women would have to live under certain conditions for up to a year.
“It’s not surprising, but what it demonstrates is that Canada has the ability to repatriate these women and children and then deal with any concerns that they have through the Canadian justice system, which is the way it should be,” he said.
We are a doormat nation.
A confidential poll last year indicated widespread concerns expressed by Canadians who think the federal government is not leading the country in the right direction.
“Most were of the view the country was currently headed in the wrong direction,” said the Nov. 4 poll, reported to the Privy Council Office, and obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
When Paul Stanley Schmidt was stabbed to death in front of his 3-year-old daughter while standing outside a downtown Vancouver Starbucks on March 26, nobody stepped in to help. An onlooker sipped his coffee, while two bystanders filmed, one of them a TikToker who took a selfie video next to the dying man’s body.
David Haskell, an associate professor in the faculty of Liberal Arts at the Wilfred Laurier University, told The Epoch Times that this reaction is different from the so-called “bystander effect,” where individuals in a crowd freeze up because they think someone else will help the person in trouble, or because the situation is ambiguous and they’re not sure what to do.
Former governor-general David Johnston will be given broad powers to investigate foreign interference in Canada and paid around $1,500 a day over the course of his probe, which follows Globe and Mail reporting on Chinese government meddling in this country’s elections.
Mr. Johnston will be empowered to “review any classified or unclassified records and documents, including, where necessary in their estimation, records protected by cabinet confidence,” the government said in a statement on Thursday detailing his role as special rapporteur.
Johnston is a member in good standing of Canada’s China Class, he’s already a sell-out like Justin.
An average family of four will be paying approximately $1,000 more for groceries in 2023 as food inflation continues to push prices higher albeit at a slower pace than what was witnessed last year, a new report warns.
Canada’s Food Price Report, which is compiled by researchers at Dalhousie University, the University of Guelph, the University of Saskatchewan, and the University of British Columbia, suggests that food prices will rise by another five to seven per cent in 2023 after increasing by more than 10 per cent in 2022.
An Ontario man who once allegedly bragged he’d moved over 1,000 people across the Canada-U.S. border, is now facing a nine-count indictment alleging he was the “primary organizer” of a human smuggling network using Akwesasne Mohawk territory.
Simranjit “Shally” Singh of Brampton, Ont., pleaded not guilty on Wednesday in the U.S. Federal Court for the Northern District of New York to charges related to human smuggling. He was extradited to the U.S. on Thursday.
As jihadist attacks intensify in West Africa, troops train with Canadian soldiers
Under the watchful eye of a Canadian soldier, heavily armed troops from Niger storm into a three-storey hotel and launch a room-by-room close-quarters operation to clear the terrorists who, in this drill, have seized the building.
At a 400-metre shooting range nearby, another Canadian soldier briefs forces from Niger as they prepare to aim their sniper scopes at a series of targets. A third Canadian is monitoring a unit’s battlefield emergency-aid procedures.
Both of the federal agencies tasked with reviewing what the Liberal government and security agencies knew about allegations of foreign interference in the last two Canadian elections — and when they knew it — do not have an automatic right to review cabinet records.
The National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) and the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) are not allowed to review cabinet documents.
The agency that safeguards those records — the Privy Council Office (PCO) — will not guarantee that either agency will get an exemption from that rule for the foreign interference probe.
‘Most households will see a net loss, paying more in the federal fuel charge and GST,’ the PBO says
… Guelph MP Lloyd Longfield wrote an open letter to Giroux on Wednesday asking him to take a broader perspective, arguing the PBO wasn’t factoring in the cost of climate inaction.
“In light of the overwhelming body of evidence, including your own analysis, that climate change is bringing huge costs to bear on Canadians, I would ask that you launch a new study that integrates both sides of the climate ledger into your assessment,” Longfield wrote.

The Royal Canadian Navy is making a pitch for the purchase of up to 12 new submarines at a cost of $60 billion, say National Defence and industry sources.

The navy is pushing for the acquisition of the submarines to be included in the Liberal government’s Defence Policy Update. Last month at a defence conference in Ottawa, Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre acknowledged he was advocating on behalf of the navy for submarines.
The navy has a team examining the replacement of the current Victoria-class submarine fleet and there have been initial discussions with industry officials, sources said.
