Douglas Todd: China’s thrashing of ‘racist’ West disguises its own sins

“A favorite PRC tactic is to use the terms China, Chinese and Chinese Communist Party interchangeably. PRC has mixed them all up so often and for so long that a criticism of the CCP is now interpreted by China as a criticism of the people, and thus a racist act.”

A UBC professor recently told me that when his family members flew back to work in China after the Christmas holidays they had to get a PCR test to prove to border officials that they did not have COVID.

He was taken aback, because he follows multiple Canadian and international media sources. The reports he had seen had tended to sympathize with Chinese officials who claimed Western nations that instituted test requirements for incoming Chinese citizens were “discriminating”.

Canada to repatriate British-born ‘Jihadi Jack’ from Islamic State prison camp

Muslim convert Jack Letts, who was stripped of UK citizenship, is one of 23 people who will return to Canada from Syria

Canada will repatriate the British-born Isil member known as “Jihadi Jack” along with 22 other citizens held in Islamic State prison camps in north-east Syria.

Muslim convert Jack Letts, 28, who had held dual British and Canadian citizenship, declared he was an “enemy of Britain” after travelling from Oxfordshire to Syria to join the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant (Isil) terror group as a teenager.

He begged to be allowed to return to the UK, insisting he had “no intention” of killing Britons, after he was captured by Kurdish forces in 2017.

Hotel rooms for asylum seekers cost Ottawa $94-million since last election

The federal government has spent almost $94-million since the last election booking entire hotels for months to accommodate an influx of asylum seekers entering Canada, according to an access-to-information request.

Since September, 2021, the Immigration Department has paid $93,886,222 for “long leases” with hotels, mostly in Quebec, setting them aside for asylum seekers, including those entering the country through the irregular border crossing at Quebec’s Roxham Road.

The department booked 30 hotels between April and December last year – 10 in Montreal alone, according to a redacted response to the access-to-information request.

Justin Trudeau tells us why he is disliked, what keeps him awake and who Pierre Poilievre is ‘preying on’

Justin Trudeau is very aware of just how much he’s become a lightning rod for anger in Canada.

It’s kind of hard to miss. As we sat together in a meeting room at the University of Windsor this week, a gaggle of protesters with the now-familiar “F— Trudeau” flags were gathered outside, cheered on by a mini-convoy of a dozen or so flag-waving, horn-honking trucks.

“It doesn’t affect me personally in the slightest,” the prime minister says.

But wait. Shouldn’t it?

How the Liberals’ multibillion-dollar tech plan created ‘chaos’ instead of growth

Innovation programs, critics say, have been overly politically driven with an attempt to cover too many regions and sectors, and designed by bureaucrats with outdated or underdeveloped notions

Last summer, the federal government invited 40 industry groups to weigh in on its latest big-ticket plan to support Canadian innovation. It was a $1-billion agency announced in the spring budget that would stimulate businesses to spend more on research and development and deliver innovation-led growth.

During five roundtable meetings around the end of August, officials with the Innovation, Science and Economic Development department (ISED) asked participants how they thought the proposed Canadian Innovation and Investment Agency (CIIA) could most effectively help businesses increase R&D spending and overcome challenges to growth.

World’s ‘worst’ McDonald’s will shut down after nearly 40 years

The infamous McDonald’s based in Ottawa, Canada, which saw more than 900 fights in recent years, will shut down after nearly 40 years of service.

Peter Crosthwaite, who owns the building on Rideau Street, told CTV that the franchise owner decided not to renew the lease, with the restaurant set to shut down in April.

The McDonald’s, which a former manager dubbed ‘the worst,’ is mostly known for a viral video of a large 2013 brawl inside its doors that saw customers trading blows while one man pulled out a raccoon from his jacket.

Corporate Canada has been protected from competition for too long. It’s time to put consumers first

Maybe you saw that report by the CBC’s Marketplace the other day on the cost of wireless telephone service in Canada. If so, maybe your fists have not yet unclenched from the little balls of rage that formed as you watched.

Quoting a recent study by the Finnish research firm Rewheel, the report found the cost per gigabyte of wireless data transmission in Canada is “seven times more expensive than Australia, 25 times more than Ireland and France, and 1,000 times more than Finland.”

Court rules Canada must bring back idiot convert Jihadi Jack Letts from Syrian prison camp because the Brits were smart and stripped him of citizenship

The ruling applies to four Canadian men who are being held in the camps.

One of those men is Jack Letts, a Canadian citizen who fled his home in England in 2014, when he was 17, to travel to Syria, resulting in the United Kingdom revoking his British citizenship.
His family says they have no evidence that he was a member of a terrorist group.

The jerk’s Dad was born here but Jihadi Jack spent only about 5 minutes in Canada his entire life. The Brits were smart and stripped the parasite of citizenship.

Jack’s parents were convicted of aiding a terrorist after being caught sending their little jerk money.

The evil little bastard knew exactly what he was doing – “I volunteered for a suicide bombing, Jihadi Jack admits”

Jack Letts has told how he wanted to be a suicide bomber for Islamic State as he admitted fighting with the terrorists.

“I know I was definitely an enemy of Britain,” he told the BBC in an interview recorded in October and released yesterday. “I did what I did. I made a big mistake and that’s what happened. I thought I was leaving something behind and going to something better.”

Oh but then he had a change of heart… When ISIS started to lose.

Alberta premier’s office contacted Crown prosecution about Coutts cases: sources

A staffer in Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s office sent a series of emails to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service, challenging prosecutors’ assessment and direction on cases stemming from the Coutts border blockades and protests, CBC News has learned.

The emails were sent last fall, according to sources who CBC has agreed not to identify because they fear they could lose their jobs.

Soon after being elected leader of the United Conservative Party and sworn in as premier, Smith’s office asked for a briefing on the cases. Subsequent emails critiqued the prosecutors’ assessment of the charges and pushed back on the characterizations of the protest.

One Year After Death of Indian Migrants at Border, US Still Sees Illegal Crossings

A year after a family of four from India froze to death while trying to walk to the United States from Manitoba, the agency tasked with patrolling the border says others have not been deterred from attempting the same treacherous journey.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has seen a drastic uptick in recent months of people trying to enter North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin illegally from Canada.

Adam Zivo: Is Canada not sending its tanks to Ukraine because they’re broken?

ODESA, Ukraine — A growing coalition of western states is poised to send tanks to Ukraine. Canada should join them; it would cost peanuts, support Canadian interests and be the moral thing to do.

However, there’s a problem: a significant portion of Canada’s tanks may have been neglected to the point of becoming inoperable — a revelation that until now has escaped much scrutiny from the press, apart from the Post’s John Ivison .

Western allies have been expanding their military aid to Ukraine since December in anticipation of a Russian springtime offensive .

Yea but our army knows proper pronoun deployment in battlefield conditions.

Trudeau government to repatriate 6 ISIS Whores and spawn being held in Syrian camps: lawyer

Ottawa to help repatriate 6 women, 13 children being held in Syrian camps: lawyer

The lawyer for six Canadian women and 13 children being held in Syrian camps says the federal government has agreed to help bring them home.

Lawyer Lawrence Greenspon says a “mutually acceptable” agreement was reached today with Ottawa to repatriate the 19 Canadians.

… Greenspon says that as a result of the agreement, the application from the six women and 13 children is being discontinued, but the case of the four men remains before the court.

If I’m not mistaken one of the “men” is Jack Letts, whose parents were convicted in the UK of aiding a terrorist when they sent him funds. The twit has no real connection to Canada beyond one parent being Canadian, he was raised in the UK and they don’t want him.

We should not be bringing such filth into our country. They are monsters who willingly joined a murder cult.

As egg prices rise, so do seizures at US border

How do you like your eggs? Whatever your preference, avoid the ones smuggled across the border.

Attempts to smuggle eggs from Mexico or Canada can result in fines of up to $10,000 (£8,140), officials warn.

And yet, soaring egg prices in the US have tempted many to cross the border, where it can be bought for half the price, to bring back the delicate cargo,

Seizures at border posts have spiked by more than 100%.

Trudeau denies natural gas to another ally in favour of fictive agenda

Trudeau’s natural gas snubbing of Japan and Germany is really bad policy for Canadians

Having shown Germany the back of his hand in August when Chancellor Olaf Scholz asked to buy some of Canada’s abundant natural gas, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau repeated the performance only two weeks into 2023 — this time snubbing the people of Japan.

Trudeau views the world much like a not very bright teenager. Magic thinking is no way to run a country. Canadians will pay and pay and pay for this madness.
