Federal government appealing court ruling to repatriate 4 ISIS psychopaths’ detained in Syria

The federal government is appealing a Federal Court ruling that ordered the government to repatriate four Canadian men being detained in northeastern Syria in prisons for suspected ISIS members.

In its notice to the Federal Court of Appeal, the government asks that the court order be stayed pending the appeal.

The Canadian men — who have not been charged with crimes — are currently in prisons run by Kurdish forces in Northern Syria and are being detained for alleged ISIS ties. The Canadian government has listed ISIS as a terrorist group.

One of the 4 is idiot convert Jack Letts who is a Canadian by mere technicality.

MPs call for ‘transparency’ from intelligence officials on election interference claims

Opposition MPs pressed Canadian intelligence officials — often unsuccessfully — to share more information during a Thursday meeting of a Commons committee studying foreign election interference.

The House of Commons standing committee on procedure and House affairs has been delving into a story by Global News that reported the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) briefed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Chinese efforts to interfere in the 2019 election. The interference reportedly included Chinese government funding of at least 11 candidates.

Terry Glavin: Deference to Beijing a hallmark of the Trudeau Liberals

It was a peculiar exchange that betrayed quite a bit about the Trudeau government’s entanglements with Beijing’s various friends and interlocutors in Canada, and it was doubly awkward, coming at a time when the Liberal government is trying to give the appearance of acting on what it claims to stand for in the matter of refugees, the global traffic in slave goods, and Xi Jinping’s sadistic throttling of democratic life in Hong Kong.

2017 memo prepared for PM warns of Beijing election interference

National security officials drafted a warning for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his office more than a year before the 2019 federal election, alleging that Chinese agents were “assisting Canadian candidates running for political offices,” according to a Privy Council Office document reviewed by Global News.

Written by the office of National Security and Intelligence Advisor, Daniel Jean, at the request of Trudeau’s chief of staff — and arguably his most trusted aide — Katie Telford, the document called “Memorandum for the Prime Minister” was also provided to Privy Council Office clerk Michael Wernick, records show.

NYC Migrants Bussed To Canada Head Back After A Look At Trudeau’s Broken Shithole State

Some migrants bused to Canada already heading back to NYC

Blame Canada.

Overrun by asylum-seeking migrants sent to the city from southern border states, New York has been offering free bus tickets to the Canadian border for migrants wanting to start a new life up north, but some are turning straight back around.

Ilze Thielmann, the director of nonprofit Team TLC — which has been organizing busses to Plattsburgh, where there is an unofficial crossing to Montreal — said the reality isn’t as rosy as people expect.


Texas Bused Migrants North. Then New York Did the Same.

New York officials, who once condemned Texas leaders for busing migrants from the southern border, calling the treatment inhumane, are buying bus tickets for newcomers who want to go north and seek asylum in Canada.

Mayor Eric Adams had originally welcomed the migrants, but he has since begun echoing the points of southern leaders, saying the city was buckling from the strain of absorbing more than 42,000 people in need.

Now, city officials are assisting the relocation of a growing number of migrants traveling to New York’s northern border, where crossings are surging.

Joe Biden’s state of the union speech ‘bad news,’ Canadian manufacturers say

Canadian manufacturers are concerned about a promise made by U.S. president Joe Biden in his state of the union speech Tuesday evening, pledging to use only American materials in infrastructure projects.

The Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters were quick to respond Wednesday morning, calling the promise “bad news” for Canadian manufacturing and “integrated North American supply chains.” The trade association said there is a need for a “strong response” to “push back and protect Canadian access to the U.S. procurement market.”

The concept of CanCon is pure folly. That’s the problem at the heart of Bill C-11

I’m still waiting for my arts cheque.

The Senate has sent Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act, back to the House of Commons with a raft of amendments. Bad news: the unelected Senate has no democratic mandate to amend anything. But it’s potentially good news, if the government seizes the opportunity for a little “sober second thought” of its own, and pulls the bill in its entirety.

Seriously CanCon is a circle of hell – preachy leftists nagging you forever with no escape.

Ottawa lays out health plan worth $196B over next decade, with $46B in new spending

The federal government is offering the provinces and territories a health funding deal worth $196.1 billion over 10 years, including $46.2 billion in new money.

But the premiers say the plan appears to offer less money than they were looking for, especially in the first year of the proposed deal.

“One of the things that we did see today is that there wasn’t a lot in the way of new funding that is a part of this package… to say the least I think we were a little disappointed in that,” Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson said in reaction to the federal government’s proposal Tuesday.

Nienhuis: Assisted dying for the mentally ill should be cancelled altogether — not merely delayed

When the Senate, an unelected body, introduced a clause into its Medical Assistance in Dying legislation (MAiD) that added mental illness as a qualifying factor, it showed a deep disconnect from the people of Canada and a lack of care for those who suffer from mental illness. Since then, psychiatrists, psychologists and thousands of Canadians have called for a stop to this madness. It seems the federal government is finally listening.

One-third of households say they’re financially worse off compared to year ago: poll

OTTAWA – A new poll finds one-third of Canadian households say their financial situation has worsened over the last year.

According to a Leger poll commissioned by the Association for Canadian Studies, 34 per cent of Canadian households say they’re financially worse off compared with a year ago.

… “People … in lower income brackets are finding the pinch particularly difficult in terms of the effects of the inflation and higher interest rates and so forth,” Jedwab said.

The survey doesn’t ask if your financial position is good only whether it has improved, stayed the same or gotten worse. Maybe “shiite” is the baseline.
