Our closest neighbour to the south has a serious problem – and I’m not talking about racial animus, gun violence or political polarization.
To put it bluntly, a large swath of the U.S. is running out of accessible water. And that is putting the lives of millions of Americans in danger.

E.M., the woman who filed a lawsuit against Hockey Canada over an alleged group sexual assault by some members of Canada’s world junior hockey team in 2018, says that she has felt “vulnerable and exposed” since news of her allegations became public two months ago.
“This is something I never wanted to draw attention to,” she said in a brief interview with The Globe and Mail on Monday. “I simply wanted consequences for actions and some accountability.”
In the days leading up to the mandate, transportation officials were frantically looking for a rationale for it. They came up short.
On August 13, 2021, the Canadian government announced that anyone who hadn’t been vaccinated against Covid would soon be barred from planes and trains. In many cases, The Backward could no longer travel between provinces or leave the country. If you lived in Winnipeg and wanted to visit your mother on her deathbed in London or Hong Kong or, perhaps, Quebec City, you’d better get jabbed—or resign yourself to never seeing your mother again.
Jennifer Little, the director-general of COVID Recovery, the secretive government panel that crafted the mandate, called it “one of the strongest vaccination mandates for travelers in the world.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spent more time in the air in July, 2022 than he did during the entire summer of 2021.
“Data collected from online flight tracker websites show Justin Trudeau spent all but 11 days of July aboard Canforce One, flying a total of 26,238 km across 20 flights, all within Canada,” said the National Post.
Can it be? At the same time that our PM preaches the evils of climate change via carbon emissions, he is Canada’s biggest individual carbon polluter?
Warren Dean recalls feeling helpless as a deadly heat dome hovered over British Columbia last summer.
The CTV News weather anchor for Vancouver Island says he and his colleagues tried to hammer home the seriousness of the unprecedented extreme heat event to the public but there were still those who failed to heed the warnings they were issuing.
No mention of ‘Urban Heat Island’, eh?
At this point, whenever you hear Canadian history being discussed all you hear is the need for endless apologies, virtue-signalling about ‘harm’ and ‘exploitation,’ and an overall sense of shame.
Shame seems to be the only ‘acceptable’ feeling about Canada’s history in the minds of the political and media elites.
And that imposed shame is all about destroying our pride in our country, and turning our Citizens into submissive and docile people who can be easily controlled.
“It is not just the government that reminds me of the Islamic Republic. The current state of the legacy media, paid for by Justin Trudeau, is just as bad as anything I saw in Iran, arguably worse.”
“If I hadn’t seen the truth with my own eyes while on the ground here in Ottawa I would not be able to believe the level of lies and fake news being spread.”
From Trudeau’s Star: “In diplomatic circles, Canada is no longer seen as a reliable partner.”
Chrystia Freeland is right on ‘friend-shoring.’ Our allies need Canada to help reduce dependence on Russian energy
During Janet Yellen’s first visit to Canada in June as U.S. treasury secretary, she and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland again discussed “friend-shoring” — the idea Canada must prioritize trade with countries which share our values.
Freeland’s remarks deserve more attention than they’ve received. She did more than talk about an economic concept; she gave concrete examples and a call to action. “What we can really contribute to a world of friend-shoring is critical minerals and metals and energy,” she said. “We owe it to our allies as good partners to really step up.”
… She’s also correct in suggesting we owe it to our allies to step up and do more. In diplomatic circles, Canada isn’t seen as a reliable partner these days. Far from being viewed as nice and dependable, we are now viewed by many as a country that talks a big game — but often can’t match its words with action.
Is the Fat Lady singing for Justin Trudeau? This article reads like a PR piece for a Freeland run for PM.
Under Trudeau our shared values mirror those of Communist China, Cuba and North Korea.
Freeland comes across as almost sensible. What’s up with that?
As Canadians continue to suffer under Liberal economic policies, and as our freedoms continue to be under sustained attack, Justin Trudeau is less and less popular.
In a new Abacus Poll, 51% of Canadians say they have a negative view of Trudeau, compared to 31% who have a positive impression of him.
That 20 point gap is the largest ever recorded in an Abacus poll, demonstrating the extent to which Trudeau’s popularity has fallen.
As the Bank of Canada (BoC) continues to raise interest rates, the majority of Canadians are losing confidence in the central bank’s ability to deal with the inflation crisis.
“Liberalism built its political order on private property, consecrating it as a natural right, while Communism emerged as liberalism’s political rival and historic arch-enemy.”
Thus it is that land ownership is a defining factor in systems of governance. The socialization of property in 20th century communist regimes such as Soviet Union, China, and Cuba was fundamental in their transition to authoritarianism.
Canadian provincial healthcare systems are currently sounding the alarm about a shortage of epidurals caused by global supply chain issues. Epidurals are used as pain management primarily for pregnant women in labour.
While the problem is believed to be short term, and so far it seems no woman has actually been denied an epidural, it’s troubling to learn about the looming problem. The modern approach to obstetrics is one of the things that separates our current way of living from both the harsher past and the rougher conditions in other parts of the world. The absence of serious pain relief in labour is a problem that just shouldn’t happen here.
With the cost of living rising, people share ‘inflation hacks’ to combat higher costs
A steep rise in gas and food prices is getting most of the blame for Canada’s cost of living increasing at its quickest pace in decades.
With inflation at a nearly 40-year high in Canada, people are getting creative in their attempts to save money in any way they can.
The savings accounts of Canadians have sprung a leak.
As inflation tops 8%, anyone with money in the bank is seeing their savings drip away at the fastest rate on record because interest rates for savings accounts, still largely languishing at around 1%, haven’t kept up.
