Ottawa has acknowledged and said it fixed a glitch in the ArriveCAN app, which sent messages to some travellers early last week telling them they needed to quarantine even though they were fully vaccinated and there were no signs they had COVID-19.
The warning was sent to roughly three per cent of travellers and appears to have affected Apple devices only, according to the government.
Following a meeting of federal and provincial officials on Friday, the Alberta and Saskatchewan Ministers of Agriculture expressed “profound disappointment” over Trudeau’s decision to attempt to reduce nitrogen emissions from fertilizer in the name of “fighting climate change.”
Tamara Lich is no longer confined like the public enemy number one the prosecution and politicians in Ottawa are attempting to characterize her as.
Lich already spent 48 days in jail and, if she’s ever convicted on all of the spurious charges that she’s up against, she wouldn’t even be spending 30 days in jail.
Yet this 49-year-old grandmother is being treated like a drug cartel kingpin and it’s not just ludicrous, it’s disgusting.
It is an occupational hazard that people who are granted half a page in a newspaper every day start to think they’re geniuses and everyone else is an idiot. It is almost a relief to be wrong — it suggests the world is working as it should.
In letter to Ottawa, 4 provinces say they can choose newcomers with ‘greatest chance of success’
Citing a nationwide labour shortage, several provincial immigration ministers say they want more control over the immigration process, and have sent a letter to their federal counterpart calling for change.
Ministers from Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba are calling on Sean Fraser, Canada’s minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship, to allow their provinces to select more immigrants “with the skills they need most” in a letter sent Tuesday night.
“We need the ability to respond to the rapidly evolving needs of specific areas and communities, with a flexible system that we can adapt to changing economic and humanitarian needs,” the letter states.
In Canada only corporations get a say in immigration policy.
The federal government is broken — but you wouldn’t know it from following the summer adventures of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
It’s no secret that the prime minister loves photo-ops, but he usually manages to at least tangentially connect them to some sort of issue. War in Ukraine? Time for a heavily photographed European tour. Outrage over residential schools? Someone find him a teddy bear and a well-lit place to kneel.
But his latest string of photo-ops don’t even bother with rhyme or reason as he tours the country seemingly at random, for no real purpose, doing basically nothing. One day he’s playing camp counsellor in the woods, the next he’s all smiles and no mask on a sightseeing train. Next thing you know, he’s picking cherries and chumming it up with fruit growers in British Columbia.
So far, no one’s been able to figure out quite why he’s doing this. He hasn’t used the trips to make any policy or funding announcements, wasn’t in town for fundraisers and the notion of a fall election seems absurd even by Liberal standards.
It’d be great if the media could ask him during one of his many photo-ops, but he’s forbidden journalists from posing questions. He wouldn’t want anything to distract from his carefully curated tableaus, and reporters have a pesky habit of wanting to talk about things other than children’s stories and fruit.
NDP member of parliament Brian Masse is calling on the Trudeau government to scrap the controversial ArriveCAN requirement, saying it has nothing to do with public health.
“I always fight for safety 1st, ArriveCAN is not that. It’s being used as a back door to permanently track all border crossing,” Masse said.
“MPs need to speak up now or it will destroy our tourism industry, frustrate & create longer line ups when the technology fails.”
In contrast to the insistence of some Christians today that certain pagan superstitions ought to be accepted in the name of inculturation — such as the “smudging” ceremony of “purification” practiced by native tribes in North America, in which the Pope will take part — the first indigenous converts to Christianity in Canada not only embraced the Catholic Faith wholeheartedly, abandoning all superstitions, but they esteemed the Jesuit missionaries so much that they entreated them to remain with their tribes when the missionaries were considering a return to safety in the French settlements.
Germany, historically the economic powerhouse of Europe, has been brought to its knees through its reckless pursuit of so-called “green energy,” while deliberately forfeiting its own energy security.
The disastrous result is a warning to all nations, including Canada, about the dangers of the ideological pursuit of low-carbon energy polices, without considering how they put reliable energy supplies at risk.
‘Freedom Convoy’ organizer Tamara Lich to be released on bail, again
OTTAWA – “Freedom Convoy” organizer Tamara Lich has once again been ordered released from jail after the Ontario Superior Court found errors in the decision to revoke her bail two weeks ago.
Last week, Canadian news reports told of farm-related protests erupting across the country — including one that saw a slow roll convoy head through downtown Ottawa.
These reports described this activism as a show of support for Dutch farmers. Tensions have run high in the Netherlands as farmers have used equipment to block roads and supermarkets in response to climate change regulations targeting livestock emissions. They say the regulations will force the closure of farms across the country and send food prices soaring.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government is pushing forward with imposing requirements on Canadian farmers to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from fertilizers, the same reduction mandates that have caused farmers in the Netherlands to engage in mass protests.
The Liberals are arguing that their 30 percent nitrous oxide reduction target is purely about emissions and not fertilizer, but it would be impossible to meet those targets the government wants to implement without cutting back on the use of fertilizer, which is the biggest contributor to emissions.
Despite widespread outrage from provincial agricultural ministries, Marie-Claude Bibeau, the federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Foods, said that she believes farmers will go along with the 30 percent reductions willingly.
Gonna party like it’s 1789.
Benchmark home prices could fall more than 12% through early next year from the market’s peak, a bigger decline than any of the four national downturns of the past 40 years, according to a report Friday by Royal Bank of Canada economist Robert Hogue.
Sales are also expected to slump 23% this year and 15% next year, RBC said. That total decline of 42% since early 2021 would outrank the 38% drop in 2008 and 2009.
The Trudeau Liberals spent years trying to wreck the Canadian energy sector.
As a consequence, the cost-of-living, including the cost of energy, has risen dramatically, something that wouldn’t have happened (at least not to the same extent) if Canada had been effectively making use of our abundant natural resources.
But that’s not enough.
The Liberals are now setting their sights on Canadian farmers, seeking to impose the same disastrous policies that have caused such a massive backlash in the Netherlands.
