What are Canadians angry about? New ‘Rage Index’ aims to find out

With rage towards governments, the economy and current events rampantly expressed on social media and during protests, it wouldn’t take a data scientist to determine that Canadians are angry. But a new study aims to track and quantify the rage in comprehensive ways.

… Of the 2,013 respondents surveyed between Jul. 25 and Aug. 2, 48 per cent reported that they are upset with the Ottawa’s policy decisions, and 83 per cent were angry with inflation rates. In addition, 79 per cent of the participants reported being angry at rising gas prices, and 55 per cent were angered by the current state of the housing market.

Seems the rage index missed measuring the public’s thoughts on Trudeau.

Police officer’s son sentenced to 10 years for ‘bone-chilling’ slaying of refugee African warlord

Slain warlord in happier times.

What struck the judge sentencing Keiron Gregory was the contrast offered by the people closest to him compared to the violence inflicted on shooting victim Bill Horrace.

In his decision to sentence Gregory, 24, to 10 years for manslaughter and breaking and entering a home to commit robbery, Superior Court Justice Duncan Grace kept returning to the 17 letters of support that described Gregory as intelligent, kind, generous, considerate, and, as one of his uncles wrote, “gentle to the core.”

Couple accused of plotting to blow up the B.C. Legislature launches lawsuit

Amanda Korody and John Nuttall

A couple accused of plotting to blow up the B.C. Legislature with pressure cookers has filed a lawsuit against the federal government, province and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, arguing their Charter rights were violated and they were subjected to malicious prosecution and unlawful action.

A unanimous ruling by B.C.’s Appeal Court in December, 2018, upheld a judge’s decision to stay terrorism charges against John Nuttall and Amanda Korody due to entrapment by police. The pair was found guilty in June, 2015, of conspiring to commit murder and possessing an explosive in a public place on behalf of a terrorist group.

I believe both of these misfits need help of some kind. I followed this case in the news and it stank, it was the RCMP imitating FBI entrapment tactics.

Cover Up Of Canada’s Role Alleged: Jihadi Shamima Begum ‘was smuggled into Syria by a “Canadian” SPY

Shamima Begum and her two teenage friends were smuggled into Syria by a spy working for Canada –  Justin Trudeau’s nation then conspired with the UK to cover up its role, a new book claims.

The so-called Jihadi Bride was stripped of her British citizenship in 2019 after she fled Britain four years earlier to join the Islamic State (IS).

Fresh revelations claim the now-23-year-old was trafficked into the Middle East by a double agent, on the payroll of both IS and Canadian intelligence.

DND postpones change of command as military police probe comments at airbase event

Canada’s air force has postponed the installation of a new commander at one of the country’s two main fighter jet bases after military police launched an investigation earlier this summer into alleged inappropriate remarks at an informal gathering.

The Department of National Defence is staying tight-lipped about the specifics of the incident. It’s alleged to have taken place at the 4 Wing airbase in Cold Lake, Alta., on June 23, 2022, in the course of something called a call-sign review board — an event during which call-signs, or nicknames, are assigned to pilots and aircrew weapons controllers.

Enbridge Line 5: Canada invokes 1977 treaty again over dispute

How the ‘Queen of Canada’ is making inroads into the U.S., Australia and beyond

Romana Didulo is a Canadian conspiracy theorist who falsely asserts she is the queen and ruler of Canada. On her instructions, some of her disciples recently attempted to arrest police officers in southern Ontario.

The plan was then to turn the police over to the military to be tried as war criminals. If convicted of crimes against humanity, the police officers would be executed, according to Didulo. Instead, her followers were arrested and charged with assaulting police officers.

Kelly McParland: Is there a ‘business case’ for defending Canada?

“… China is already the world’s biggest carbon emitter, well ahead of the U.S., India and the European Union. Its plan to build dozens of new coal plants is forecast to add 1.5 per cent to its total. Many Canadians, not all of them cranks, have wondered what practical purpose there is in twisting the country’s industry into an unproductive pretzel in search of a slightly lower carbon output when we’re responsible for just 1.5 per cent of the global output while China — with 400 times our population —pumps out 26 per cent and has increased its total by 75 per cent since 2005.”

We need rare earth elements for a greener future, but there’s a catch … of course

In the push to transition from fossil fuels to greener energy, a key piece of the puzzle is accessing materials to help accelerate the technological shift — namely, rare earth elements.

The group of 17 metallic elements has the potential to be a key economic driver for countries mining and processing them. They are crucial for building components for everything from wind turbines and electric-vehicle batteries to cell phones and other products.

But they also come with lingering questions over the short- and long-term environmental impacts associated with the mining process.

This will play out like oil & natural gas has. “Environmental concerns” will via economy killing legislation be able to initiate lengthy and expensive delays rendering virtually any new project dead from the word go.

Other nations will eat our lunch and dinner.

Justin and the CBC will be happy.

Here’s why Pierre Poilievre will be watching Quebec’s provincial election campaign

MONTREAL—It has been more than a decade since Quebec voters have handed a party a second governing mandate. Over that period, the Parti Québécois, the Liberals and the Coalition Avenir Québec have all had a turn at the helm.

On Oct. 3, Premier François Legault is hoping to break that pattern. With the campaign officially underway as of this weekend, here are five early takes on the state of play in Quebec …

Trudeau Doesn’t Commit to Meeting NATO’s 2 Percent Military Spending Target

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not committing two percent of Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) to national defence spending—as NATO asks its member countries to do.

Trudeau, who was visiting an Alberta air force base along with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg as part of his Canadian Arctic visit, answered indirectly to a reporter asking if Ottawa would make any “promises or assurances” to meet NATO’s minimum military-spending goal.

… Of the 30 NATO allies, only five spent a lower percentage of their GDP on national defence in 2022 than Canada.

Trudeau needs the money to ruin our economy.

Over Half of Canadians Say They Can’t Keep Up With Rising Cost of Living: Poll

More than half of Canadians say they can’t keep up with the rising cost of living, according to a recent poll by the Angus Reid Institute.

The survey, published on Aug. 22, found that 56 percent of Canadians say they are struggling to keep pace with soaring prices as high inflation continues to force them to pinch their pennies.

“The level of month-to-month price increases was the lowest so far this year. However, prices have risen by 7.6 per cent since July 2021, meaning there is much work for the Bank of Canada left to do to return the country to its target rate of two percent,” the polling firm said.
