Ottawa Launches $2.4 Million Project to correct your Wrong-Think with government approved “Facts”

The Canadian government announced another measure on Thursday meant to impact the information space, this time with a $2.4 million investment to counter “harmful online disinformation.” The minister responsible for the file has cited a desire to “have a common set of facts” as part of the motivation behind the new measure.

The initiative funded by Canadian Heritage is meant to promote “civic, news, and digital media literacy through funding third-party educational activities and programming to help citizens become resilient against disinformation,” according to a statement.

“These projects will give Canadians skills and tools to tell fact from fiction online. We live and work better as a society when we have a common set of facts,” stated Minister of Canadian Heritage Pablo Rodriguez.

We’re living in a Banana Republic now.

Pastor Jailed For Holding Church Service During Canada’s Lockdown Wins Legal Victory

A Canadian court has awarded a major legal win to Artur Pawlowski, the pastor who was arrested and jailed for holding a church service during Alberta’s lockdown.

Pawlowski, the minister of Calgary Street Church, was arrested by Calgary police in dramatic fashion in the middle of a busy highway on May 8 last year as he was driving home from church, where his congregation had gathered without masks in violation of public health orders.

Where have all the workers gone? Don’t blame COVID, economists say

“… We are losing people who are trained as early childhood educators because we won’t pay them more than we pay pet groomers. Well why would they stay if they can get a better job in some other sector?”

That’s borne out by Statistics Canada data showing the reservation wage — the minimum hourly rate at which job seekers are willing to accept a position — surpassing the current offered wage in nearly every sector, whereas Canadian workers have historically been willing to settle for less.

Economists believe there are other possible outcomes — increasing automation to fill the vacuum left by the labour shortage, for one. Some industries could also bring in more temporary foreign workers to help fill gaps at the lower end of the labour market, potentially blunting the gains made by domestic workers.”

The article is  LPC propaganda offering the carrot of possibly increased wages for working people.

We all know the Trudeau government has chosen record mass immigration regardless of “fit” to make up the numbers the corporate welfare class needs to depress wages.

Even Ford is jumping on the open flood-gate bandwagon.

The article is contradicted by the Liberal Party’s own 2022 budget document: Douglas Todd: Why Canadian wages never seem to go up

 The downplayed chart, one tiny aspect of the 304-page document, serves as a warning that individual Canadians, compared to the citizens of 39 other economically advanced countries, will in the next decades likely suffer the lowest real growth in their wages.

Four things we still don’t know about the Jerry Dias investigation in the wake of explosive leaked report

Allegations that former Unifor head Jerry Dias received a $50,000 kickback from a rapid test supplier he promoted to employers have left Canada’s largest private-sector union reeling.

Dias allegedly offered half of that money to his assistant Chris MacDonald, who reported the breach to Unifor and filed a formal complaint.

The Star has obtained the summary of an independent workplace investigation commissioned by Unifor, as well as 1,600 pages of minutes detailing how the union’s senior leadership dealt with the fallout. The investigation found that Dias tried to impede the probe into the alleged kickback scandal by pressuring the whistleblower to drop their complaint, a breach of the union’s ethics.

Justin Trudeau Wants All Canadians To Surrender To The State

As most adults recognize, human relationships can take on many forms. A similar principle can be applied to relations between government and its citizens. Some are healthy and productive, while others are steeped in toxicity.

In an authentic democracy, government are mandated to maximize benefits to the general public. Their purpose is one of management– to optimize well being in key categories– socially, economically, culturally. Stability is based on relative affinity between government and the people.

Authoritarian states are founded on different principles. The goal of government is one of social conformity. To control not only behaviour, but human thought, is an ideal within totalitarian societies.

Germany warned Canada it might have to cut off aid to Ukraine without pipeline turbine stranded in Montreal

Germany’s foreign minister said Berlin warned Ottawa it could be forced to suspend military and economic aid to Ukraine if a Russian gas pipeline turbine stranded in Montreal, a result of Canadian economic sanctions, isn’t returned.

Annalena Baerbock said the German government told Canada if the missing turbine led to a stoppage of natural gas from Russia, it could spark popular uprisings and force Berlin to halt support for Ukraine. The Ukrainian government is largely dependent on Western aid as it fights off a military assault by Russia that began in late February.

Did I call this or what?

Play that tape to the end – Germany halts support and a weak alliance supporting Ukraine crumbles.

Unrest forces the repeal and or cancellation of green-scam legislation in Germany and elsewhere.

Where does that leave Junior? Without cover to implement his green-scam plans.
