Oh, Canada: Stefanik blasts Adams as helping migrants ‘escape law,’ Biden for ‘passing buck’

Mayor Eric Adams came under fire Monday from a top Republican member of Congress who accused him of helping migrants illegally leave New York for Canada in violation of US law.

US Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) of Glens Falls blasted the mayor following an exclusive NY Post report that revealed how migrants got free bus tickets to upstate Plattsburgh, then walked into Canada at an unofficial border crossing 20 miles north.

“New Yorkers deserve answers for why their taxpayer dollars are being spent to help illegal immigrants violate their parole and escape the law,” said the No. 4 House Republican, whose district covers Plattsburgh and the Roxham Road crossing into Canada.

Kelly McParland: The Trudeauing of Amira Elghawaby

… the Elghawaby fiasco is a vintage example of the Trudeau approach to governing. It was all about posturing and pandering, an attempt to win support in a specific voting demographic disguised as social justice. It was launched hastily, with eyes primarily on the next day’s headlines and the anticipated gains to be had. Nobody in the Prime Minister’s Office did much in the way of homework, even to the extent of a minimal vetting of the candidate.

Adam Pankratz: Maybe B.C.’s drug addicts should have to face shame and stigma

VANCOUVER — B.C. has decriminalized drug possession of 2.5 grams of cocaine, MDMA, meth and opioids, including heroin. Those in favour hail it as a victory against stigma, while opponents worry it will have unintended consequences. We will leave the public policy debate to others, but will ask another very pertinent question: what’s wrong with stigma?

Canada’s push to decriminalize drugs will be a disaster

Overdose deaths continue to rise in Vancouver, the epicenter of Canada’s addiction crisis, as barriers to drug use are demolished. After British Columbia’s decriminalization experiment came into effect, the province’s center-right Liberal Party pledged that, should they be elected, they will invest $1.5 billion into Portuguese-inspired rehabilitation-oriented treatment. This would be a significant improvement over British Columbia’s current farce. Earlier this week, the Canadian province of British Columbia decriminalized the possession of small amounts of hard drugs, such as cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl.

CHARLEBOIS: Canada can fix its milk dumping problem, easily

A video of an exasperated Canadian dairy farmer, Jerry Huigen, went viral last week. For probably the first time in Canadian history, a Canadian dairy farmer was filmed while discarding milk on his own farm. That video has now been viewed by almost 3 million people. It shocked many Canadians, who were wondering why this is even possible when food prices are skyrocketing at the grocery store.

Migrants abandon NYC for Canada with taxpayer-funded bus tickets

Disgruntled migrants fed up with the Big Apple’s crime and grime are taking off to the Great White North — on bus rides paid for by New York taxpayers, The Post has learned.

National Guard soldiers have been helping distribute tickets at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan to migrants who want to head upstate before crossing into Canada, several migrants said.

Venezuelan native Raymond Peña and his family arrived at a gas station bus stop in Plattsburgh, NY — about 20 miles south of the Canadian border — at 4 a.m. Sunday.

Canada sends 1 military aircraft into Haiti’s skies as gang violence escalates

OTTAWA – Canada has sent one of its military planes to Haiti to help the country cope with escalating violence.

A joint statement today from National Defence Minister Anita Anand and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada has deployed a CP-140 Aurora aircraft to help “disrupt the activities of gangs” in Haiti.

Gang violence has become a reality for those living in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince since last summer, with hundreds having reportedly been kidnapped and killed.

I hope it doesn’t break down.

‘It’s Our Central Park’: Uproar Rises Over Location of New Toronto Homes

TORONTO — Spreading across two million acres, Toronto’s Greenbelt is a vast swath of protected and ecologically sensitive lands that forms an arc around the city and its suburbs, as if holding Canada’s most populous and fastest-growing region in an embrace.

“It’s our Central Park,” said Jeff Bowers, 57, recently retired from a “high-stress, 24/7” job in technology, who was hiking recently in one corner of the Greenbelt. “The Greenbelt was declared, it was decreed. It had a sacredness to it. Now, the current government is tinkering with that, and that’s creating a lot of uproar. You can imagine if they said they were going to develop Central Park.”

Yet this is what is happening in Toronto.

My God that man needs a sedative.

Opinion: 67% agree Canada is broken — and here’s why

The first time we heard the phrase, it was simply a great sound bite: “Canada is broken.” Months later, the hashtag count keeps climbing, and the phrase has become something of a battle cry.

With all the noise, our team at Leger asked Canadians if the assertion resonates with them. We were somewhat taken aback to learn that 67 per cent of Canadians agree with the statement: “It feels like everything is broken in this country right now.” It’s one thing when a sentiment is a catchy sparring point between party leaders and pundits, but quite another when two-thirds of Canadians agree.

Quebeckers expose Trudeau’s anti-racism performance art

By standing up to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Quebeckers have exposed a striking truth: modern race politics in Canada is mostly elitist performance art.

This week, in an effort to quell the uproar caused by his appointment of Amira Elghawaby as the government’s special representative on combating Islamophobia, the Prime Minister declared that “Quebecers are not racists.” He went on to explain, “Quebecers are among the people who are the strongest defenders of individual rights and freedoms, along with a lot of other Canadians.”

Justin Trudeau’s Canada is ground zero for the worst of woke

From hard drugs to euthanasia, progressive schemes have proved disastrous for us Canadians

Any time you care to glimpse our dystopian future, simply look across the pond to Canada, which, under the guidance of woke Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has become the test zone for some of the world’s most perversely “progressive” social policies. Latest in this series is the effective decriminalisation of hard drug possession: perhaps coming soon to a theatre near you.

Justin Trudeau’s anti-Islamophobia disaster reveals a government dangerously out of touch with voters

 

MONTREAL—By appointing Amira Elghawaby as his lead representative on the Islamophobia file, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has thrown the equivalent of a political grenade into his Quebec trenches.

The damage to his party and to the cause she is tasked with advancing could be consequential.

Here is an early assessment.

At week’s end, Elghawaby’s appointment had been disavowed by most of the leading figures of Quebec’s political class.

Jihadi Jack’s Mom Writes Book To Drum Up Sympathy For Idiot Convert Son

‘I’m putting all my secrets out there’ With new book, mother of so-called Jihadi Jack seeks redemption for her son

The last nine years of Sally Lane’s life have been a cascade of crushing disappointments.

In 2014, her son, Jack Letts, a British-born Muslim convert, travelled to the Middle East to study his faith. His quest led him astray, to Syria and Iraq, the lands controlled by the Islamic State terrorist group.

Lane sent her son, who has Canadian citizenship, the money he sought to escape the war-ravaged territory only to be charged and convicted along with her husband, under U.K. terrorism financing laws in 2019.

She sought out allies to help Letts only to have them turn up as prosecution witnesses against her.

André Pratte: Did no one vet anti-Islamophobia rep’s past?

We were told by the Prime Minister’s Office that Amira Elghawaby was appointed as Canada’s first Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia “following an open, transparent, and merit-based selection process.” It is beyond my comprehension how such a process would not have involved a simple web search to see whether Elghawaby had said or written something that could be embarrassing for the government or her, or both. For instance, writings that would have revealed a simplistic view of Islamophobia in Québec?
