Pandemic Reduces Canadian Birth Rates To All-Time Low

Canada is a low-fertility country whose fertility rates have steadily declined since 2008. Since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020, the trend has intensified.

According to Statistics Canada, our country’s fertility rate decreased from 1.47 children per woman in 2019 to a record low of 1.40 children per woman in 2020. In 2020, Canada experienced the lowest number of births and greatest year-over-year decrease in births (-3.6%) since 2006.

Canada’s low fertility rate is used by government as justification for steadily increasing immigration levels. The logic employed is that the birth rate is not high enough to grow Canada’s population and labour force.

I can remember reading about this worldwide trend in the mid-90s; governments deliberately chose to not incentivise having larger families. It’s all intentional.

‘I thought I might die at home’: Canada’s health-care system is crumbling, experts say

For 36 hours, Liz LeClair suffered through excruciating abdominal pain and vomiting in her home in Dartmouth, N.S., with no ambulance coming to help.

Her ordeal is just one example of how Canada’s health care system, hugely overburdened and struggling amid worker shortages, needs desperate attention, experts say.

Speaking of which… am heading out to “Emergency Dentist” shortly. Managed to chip a tooth. not sure it can be saved.

U of T report says almost 6 million Canadians experienced food insecurity in 2021

A new report by University of Toronto (U of T) researchers found that almost six million Canadians experienced food insecurity in 2021.

The Household Food Insecurity in Canada 2021 study, led by U of T nutritional sciences professor Valerie Tarasuk’s research group PROOF, used data from 54,000 households in Statistics Canada’s Canadian Income Survey.

The report found that 5.8 million people, including 1.4 million children, lived in households facing food insecurity. The total number amounts to the equivalent of 15.9% of households across the 10 Canadian provinces.

Ukraine calls on Canada to shelve turbine exemption as German chancellor to visit

OTTAWA – As German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is set to arrive in Canada on Sunday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing renewed calls from Ukraine to cancel a permit allowing turbines repaired in Montreal to be sent back to a Russian energy giant.

Scholz, who took over from Angela Merkel in December last year, is expected to land in Montreal on Sunday evening for a three-day visit that also includes scheduled stops in Toronto and Stephenville, N.L.

I suspect Ukraine knows not to trust either of these two green-scammers.

GOLDSTEIN: How hatred of Israel promotes antisemitism in Canada

Laith Marouf – trusted advisor to Justin Trudeau

In 2021, Jews both in Toronto and across Canada were the most targeted religious group for reported hate crimes.

Jews have good reason to fear racists when it comes to antisemitism, but anti-racists often provide the political cover for such hateful views.

When white supremacists march and chant “the Jews will not replace us” it’s obvious what they mean.

But it’s not substantially different from what an anti-racism expert hired by the federal Heritage Department as a senior consultant for a $133,000 anti-racism project, tweeted prior to being hired.

I believe he was hired because of those views. Our public service unions, universities, and political parties have all been infiltrated. Given the slack cut Mohammedans it’s no surprise. “Islamophobia” is great cover.

Toxic immigration policy combined with the toxins of multiculturalism and diversity have poisoned the Kumbaya Kool-Aid.

TUPOC demands apologies, asserts its right to be at former St. Brigid’s church

The United People of Canada tried once again to explain its presence in St. Brigid’s church in a rambling Saturday afternoon media conference live-streamed on Facebook and continually disrupted by hecklers.

Speaking to a gathering of about 30 people in the deconsecrated Catholic church, TUPOC’s Diane Nolan asserted that an eviction notice served this past week was invalid, and she said the group deserved an apology for how it had been characterized.

Is this the great bait & switch? Canada now says hydrogen better than LNG for German needs

Providing clean hydrogen to Germany and the rest of Europe is a better opportunity for Canada than trying to build liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals as the world moves away from fossil fuels, said Canada’s natural resources minister late on Thursday.

Canada and Germany are discussing building LNG terminals on the Canadian Atlantic coast within the next five years ahead of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Canadian visit next week. Germany has been trying to wean itself from its dependence on Russian gas since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February.

But the costs of transporting gas from Alberta in the Canadian west to the East Coast would be high. A new pipeline would be needed, and the global shift away from fossil fuels means the terminal’s lifetime would be too short to be profitable unless converted into a hydrogen terminal when gas demand declines.

“We’re working through those issues. But what I would say is… on the East Coast, the big opportunity is hydrogen,” Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson told Reuters.

Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine coverage flatlining as fall nears: ‘The stakes are high’

As fall approaches, experts are urging Canadian governments to create new COVID-19 vaccine campaigns to try to boost the country’s stagnant inoculation rate to avoid overwhelming an already strained health-care system.

About 82 per cent of the entire population is fully vaccinated, with roughly half receiving a third dose and just 11 per cent getting a fourth shot, the latest federal data reported on July 17 shows. Aside from fourth doses, which became available this summer, vaccination coverage hasn’t moved significantly in months.

Toronto’s Pearson airport now only 2nd worst in world for delays.

Fatima Sherefa, 17, had a rough night at Toronto’s Pearson Airport on Aug. 6.

Her flight from Toronto home to Winnipeg had been delayed several times and then, just after midnight, it was cancelled.

Sherefa says Air Canada staff didn’t offer hotel accommodation for the night, and instead passed out yoga mats to stranded travellers.

Here’s How The Bank of Canada Drove Over 250,000 Excess Real Estate Sales

Canada’s real estate bubble went from a small localized problem in pricey cities to a country-wide failure. Excessively long use of low rates from the Bank of Canada (BoC) drove tens of thousands of excess home sales over the past two years. Now that rates are rising, purchase volumes have suddenly cratered and prices are beginning to come back down to normal. Just how many excess sales did the BoC stimulate? Let’s crunch the numbers, but first we should explain the how and why monetary policy influences sales.

Why Is The Liberal Government Using Your Tax Dollars To Fund Someone With Hateful Attitudes Under The Guise Of ‘Anti-Racism’?

There are about 38 million people in Canada.

Thus, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find someone who hasn’t said a bunch of anti-Semitic things.

Particularly if someone is being hired by the government for an ‘anti-racism’ project.

Why we’re about to hear that Big Pharma is the victim

It is a peculiar time, to put it mildly, to be arguing for higher drug prices in Canada. Inflation is surging in every part of the country, confronting poor and working-class people with excruciatingly difficult choices. As wages and benefits erode, a growing share of Canadians are forced to ask themselves: do I pay the rent, buy groceries or fill my prescriptions?

Rupa Subramanya: How Ottawa exploited our fear to limit our liberties

On June 14, the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suspended its controversial vaccine mandates as they applied to federal workplaces and for travel, the two sectors where the federal government had the authority to issue regulations. However, ministers made it clear that the mandates weren’t dead but merely suspended and could be revived if circumstances warranted.

Canada’s handgun ban will work about like you expected

Prime Minister Trudeau slapped a ban on handgun imports until proposed legislation that would ban the sale and purchase of handguns, among other gun control measures, can be voted on by the Canadian Parliament. The import ban was a knee-jerk reaction after Canadians rushed to buy firearms when the Trudeau administration introduced legislation to end handgun sales.

Prime Minister Trudeau isn’t waiting for a debate or a vote. He’s operating by executive fiat. He’s acting like a mini-tyrant, and it’s not the first time he’s trampled on Canadian’s ability to own guns or even protest their own government.

Feds probe ‘disturbing’ tweets by consultant on government-funded anti-racism project

I am shocked to hear this vile Mohammedan racist was hired by Hussen’s ministry!

OTTAWA — The federal diversity minister says he’s taking action over “disturbing” tweets by a senior consultant on an anti-racism project that received $133,000 from his department.

Ahmed Hussen has asked Canadian Heritage to “look closely at the situation” after what he called “unacceptable behaviour” by Laith Marouf, a senior consultant involved in the government-funded project to combat racism in broadcasting.

This was no accident.
