Germany’s ambassador to Canada on Ukraine, turbines and Canada as an energy exporter — just not right away

Like you, I did not expect turbines would be on the exam. But the Trudeau government’s decision to waive export restrictions for Russian-owned turbines puts Canada right in the middle of a dispute between Ukraine and Germany over sanctions against Russia. Volodymyr Zelensky is furious, the World Ukrainian Congress is suing Canada, and this all looks more like a preview of coming attractions than like a one-off.

I called Sabine Sparwasser, Germany’s ambassador to Canada, who’s an old acquaintance and has held previous postings in Canada, off and on, since 2003.

GOLDSTEIN: CBC sucks and blows on using the ’N-word’

In a head-spinning example of corporate confusion, inconsistency and hypocrisy, CBC-Radio Canada is defending its use of the ’N-word’ four times on air, after it effectively ended prominent CBC journalist Wendy Mesley’s career for using it twice off air.

Trudeau is facilitating Vladimir Putin’s natural-gas blackmail of Germany

Liberals embarrass us once again by breaking NATO sanctions intended to support Ukraine

Well. That was embarrassing.

It’s not quite the same as the spectacle Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made of himself in his magical mystery tour of India back in 2018, with his multiple fancy-dress costume changes, his flamboyant bhangra dancing and the convicted would-be assassin in his entourage. And then having his national-security adviser try to quietly explain away the disgrace with the insinuation that it was all a set-up job by India’s intelligence agencies.

As I’ve stated before I suspect the real story behind Trudeau’s elastic sanctions is an effort to keep the green-scam alive.

If Russia turns off the spigot and the Germans riot because they’re freezing this winter there exists a real risk they will do away with all of the Globalist’s green-scam’s legislation.

Like dominos other Euro nations in the same boat are sure to follow the German example.

This would be a huge set back for the Globalists using the conflict as cover to implement the green-scam.

They see what’s happening in the Netherlands and Sri Lanka, the people are saying No More.

What better way to keep Germany in on the con than to ensure they have gas while simultaneously funding Putin’s war machine ensuring the green-scam doesn’t lose its cover.

There’s a great Dijon mustard crisis and Canada is a big part of the cause

Surgical masks and paracetamol for the fight against COVID-19. Microchips from Asia for European car manufacturers. Sunflower oil from Ukraine for restaurants and households. All have been in short supply at times since the start of the pandemic. But now — for French food lovers — it’s getting serious: the country is running out of mustard.

The Liberals Think You Should Be Grateful For Their Disastrous Governance

The airports are a disaster.

The passport application system is a joke.

Inflation is surging.

Taxes are rising.

Crime is going up while the government targets law-abiding gun owners.

Canada Is Not Free Until Tamara Lich Is

Rape, murder, and counseling to commit mischief are some of the most heinous and illegal acts one could do in Canada. The only difference between them is that it’s rather easy to make bail on the first two charges. Or at least this is the Canada that Justin Trudeau has built.

Canada’s largest outdoor rodeo show to host ‘drag queen’ brunch, sell bug-stuffed hot dogs

The supposed family-centered Calgary Stampede, which dubs itself as the “Greatest outdoor show on earth,” is set to host a “Drag Queen” Brunch while at the same time green-lighting its food vendors to sell hotdogs stuffed with bugs.

Last month, the Stampede, which is taking place from July 7 to July 17, announced it was offering a “Drag Queen Brunch” as part of the rodeo festivities.

The “Drag” brunch concept, which has become popular in recent years notably in left-leaning cities, for the Stampede will include no less than eight “Drag” performers.

One of the performers goes by the name “Karla Marx,” which is a name wordplay for Karl Marx, who is noted as the father of Communism.

RCMP pauses billing to local governments, provinces as salaries soar

The federal government says it won’t bill provinces and municipalities for the retroactive portion of Mountie salaries while it considers whether to help shoulder some of the burden of a steep pay-raise package.

The RCMP union negotiated its first contract with the Treasury Board last August and gained significant wage increases for its members, prompting some mayors and town councillors to say that because of the heightened costs, they could no longer afford their police.

Costs for the nearly 20,000 RCMP officers are shared between federal, provincial and municipal governments.

No one wants to join the military anymore – Our elites’ culture war has targeted the very Americans who traditionally enlist

Last week marked the 246th birthday of the United States. This year also marks, according to Lieutenant General Thomas Spoehr of the Heritage Foundation, when we “question the sustainability of the all-volunteer force.” As reported in late June by NBC, all branches of the military are falling short of their 2022 recruiting goals.

The Army, for instance, has met only 40 percent of its enlisted recruitment target for the fiscal year, which for the military services ends on September 30. Those in the Pentagon tasked with attracting candidates have listed reasons they are struggling to meet their mission: lack of eligibility, Covid restrictions putting a damper on outreach, competition from a robust civilian employment market, and a lack of a desire to serve.

The same holds true in Canada. Trudeau’s Liberals have turned the armed forces into a sick joke.

N.S. sex worker going to small claims court over non-payment

A sex worker in Nova Scotia is pursuing a claim for non-payment of services in small claims court, in a case she and her advocates will help shift the conversation about sex work in Canada.

The woman at the centre of the case said she spent an evening with a client in January 2022. Afterwards, she realized she wasn’t going to be paid when the PIN for the bank card he’d given her to withdraw money didn’t work.

The disparity in experiences shared showcased how polarizing the protests have become. To supporters, the protesters were “the most peaceful Canadian citizens ever to gather downtown.” Meanwhile, residents haunted by the sound of horns or the smell of diesel in their neighbourhoods described them as “white nationalists” and said they felt terrorized.

Ukrainian group asks federal court to stop Trudeau’s return of Russian gas turbine

OTTAWA – After being condemned by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the federal government’s decision to suspend sanctions against Russia to allow the export of a gas-pipeline component prompted an international Ukrainian group to take legal action on Tuesday.

The federal Liberal government relented to pressure from the German government to send a turbine, which had been undergoing maintenance in Montreal, back to Russia where it can be installed into Russia’s Nord Stream pipeline, which carries natural gas to Europe.

Feds to mandate telecom companies aid each other in emergencies following Rogers fiasco

“What happened over the weekend would go beyond what we have seen or the type of assistance that could be offered,” said innovation, science and industry minister Francois-Philippe Champagne.

In a closed-door meeting Monday, Champagne gave the CEOs of Rogers, Bell, Telus, Shaw, Quebecor, SaskTel and Eastlink 60 days to come up with an agreement offering mutual assistance amid outages, emergency roaming, as well as the creation of better communication protocols.
