Military recruitment in the United States is way down at the same time as the Biden Administration is driving out so-called “White supremacists” (anybody who voted for Trump or believes in the Constitution), those opposed to taking the COVID vaccine due to religious or health concerns or natural immunity, and people who refuse to use the preferred pronouns of gender activists. The result of all this is a neutered and divided military increasingly unable to fight and win wars.
More than twice as many people believe Canada is on the wrong track, as opposed to the right one, when it comes to becoming a more united country, a new survey from Nanos Research shows.
The survey, commissioned by CTV News, asked Canadians their opinions on whether Canada is on the right track to achieving two objectives: building a united country and creating prosperity for the future.
Half of those surveyed believed Canada is on the wrong track to uniting the country compared to 22 per cent who believe it is on the right one. Twenty-eight per cent were unsure.
Bad men made him do it!
For retired child-care worker Kim Agnew, inflation means putting TV dinners in her cart instead of meat.
“It’s terrible. It was $13.50 for a pack of chicken thighs, but the frozen dinners were only five bucks. So I had to do what I had to do,” said the 67-year-old after her regular shop at the Superstore on Brimley Rd. in Scarborough.
“Forget the boneless, skinless that I used to eat,” she said as she schlepped her bags across the bridge over Highway 401 on her way home.
… It would be fooling ourselves to imagine Canada is immune to the lure of populism. Toronto’s Rob Ford rose to power on a promise to wrest the city away from its self-serving elite and “stop the gravy train.” Last winter’s freedom-convoy mess in Ottawa unveiled a seam of anger at overreaching governments and established institutions. Many Canadians are weary of being told to reflect on the wrongs of Canadian history, however real and grave.”
That should read “however real and fake graves” There are so many hit pieces on Poilievre I am beginning to think he plants them to garner public support.
Organizers of the “Freedom Convoy” discussed using their ties to Métis identity to play the “race card” as part of an overall strategy to control their public image and garner sympathy for their cause, text messages suggest.
The messages between Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, obtained by Ottawa police and entered as evidence by the Crown in Lich’s bail hearing this week, indicate how acutely aware the organizers were of the optics of the protest.
Dutch farmers have been blocking highways, supermarkets and food distribution centres for the past week over a policy that is similar to what we could soon see in Canada.
In fact, if Justin Trudeau isn’t careful, the next protest he sees might be tractors and farmers rather than truckers.
This is wild.
The Dutch farmers that are fighting against the government didn’t erect a flag of the Netherlands in their square but a Canadian Flag. 🇨🇦

Canada has imposed a new round of sanctions on Russia’s media machine designed to puncture disinformation campaigns about the war in Ukraine.
The sanctions target Russian news agencies, TV stations and journalists, including Petr Akopov, who has written approvingly about President Vladimir Putin’s rationale for the invasion of Ukraine, and Tigran Keosayan, a pro-Kremlin television presenter.
The crisis in Ontario’s hospitals is directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic. But the pandemic didn’t break the system; it just revealed its deep fault lines.
A widespread Rogers Communications Inc. outage that caused trouble for 911 services, retailers and transit operators Friday had many warning the incident is a sign that monopolistic telecommunications companies need more competition.

I have Bell for internet and Fido for phone. My phone was a brick all day.
The watchdog body overseeing Canada’s intelligence agencies is looking into whether polygraph tests — popularly known as lie detector tests — should be used to hire spies.
Its investigation has some of Canada’s cyber intelligence officials and agents worried that their most personal information could be viewed by strangers.
The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency [NSIRA] is in the midst of reviewing internal security programs at the Communication Security Establishment [CSE], the foreign signals intelligence agency. Among other things, NSIRA is looking into whether the use of polygraph tests in CSE recruitment “is lawful, reasonable and necessary.”
The statistics about food prices in Canada are startling.
Statistics Canada’s monthly average retail prices for selected products shows shoppers are paying 20% more for spaghetti, flour, cabbage and other staples according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
In its report released Wednesday, Stats Can says even the cheapest meats went up in price by a third or more year over year while a loaf of white bread averaged $4.
Like Johnson, Trudeau has faced scandal after scandal, with the most recent incident involving RCMP commissioner Brenda Lucki who is accused of trying to interfere in the investigation of the Nova Scotia mass shooting.
Canada’s national Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) force has acknowledged it uses special spyware to hack into a suspect’s phone without them even knowing it.
Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members who left the institution or were forced out for refusing the COVID-19 vaccines say they feel betrayed by the organization they vowed to serve.
The Epoch Times interviewed several former soldiers willing to speak on the record about their experiences.
The CAF directive for mandatory vaccination was issued in October last year, and members had to attest to their status by mid-November.
