Conspiracy theorists say the World Economic Forum (WEF) is pulling the levers of world power. Some even accuse it of using or even orchestrating the COVID-19 pandemic to restructure societies in favour of multinational corporations and leftist global elites through a project called “The Great Reset.” It’s claimed the World Economic Forum’s influence extends right to Ottawa and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.
Since the Trudeau government came to power in 2015, federal spending has increased by 82 per cent from $248.7 billion under Stephen Harper to $452.3 billion in the current fiscal year.
During that period, inflation has been just 18.7 per cent. Population growth has been 6.5 per cent, meaning federal spending under Trudeau has far outstripped both the rising cost of living and the increase in population.
Revenues have outstripped inflation and population growth, too – by 46 per cent – but not nearly as much as spending has increased.
Four years ago, I was one of many who tried to raise the alarm in the media about a Canadian crisis. I called attention to the staggering statistic that 98 percent of girls in Saskatchewan youth jails were Indigenous, and upwards of 70 percent of inmates in Manitoba jails were Indigenous.
These are unacceptable rates by any measure. At the time, 43 percent of women in federal prisons were Indigenous.
Last week we learned that Canada has crossed a terrible threshold: 50 percent of all women in federal prisons are now Indigenous, despite Indigenous women making up only five percent of Canada’s female population.
Let’s look at three Tweets from Conservative leadership candidates in response to the horrendous Supreme Court ruling that struck down multiple life sentences for mass killers.
When the evidence is incontrovertible, murderers should be executed immediately after conviction, in public, and required to be covered by all media.
Benjamin Disraeli was a clever fellow.
He was Jewish and became prime minister of England during a period when, to extravagantly understate the matter, being Jewish was not an advantage in seeking the position.
He was also one of the great Parliamentary debaters, an orator and a wit, during a great age of political eloquence and repartee.
A Sudbury organizer of the Freedom Convoy, which took place earlier this year and shut down parts of downtown Ottawa, has been named in a $300-million class action lawsuit.
Jason LeFaci, who is running for the Ontario Party in the Sudbury riding under the name Jason LaFace, said this week he has little respect for the lawsuit and has no plans to compensate the plaintiffs.
Hate Ottawa with a righteous anger.
One year ago today, the leaders of the British Columbia First Nation Band Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc announced the discovery of a mass grave of more than 200 Indigenous children detected at a residential school in British Columbia.
“We had a knowing in our community that we were able to verify. To our knowledge, these missing children are undocumented deaths,” Rosanne Casimir, chief of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc, said in a statement on May 27, 2021.
‘Extremely serious’: Calgary man involved in terrorism activity sentenced to 12 years
CALGARY – A man who admitted to terrorism-related acts with the militant group Islamic State, saying he didn’t know any better,has been sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Hussein Borhot, 36, appeared Thursday before Court of Queen’s Bench Justice David Labrenz for a sentencing hearing in Calgary.
“Quite clearly, you intended to assist or facilitate the activities of a terrorist group. You carried that plan into action,” Labrenz told Borhot as the judge accepted a joint sentencing recommendation from the Crown and the defence.
What is Jean Charest offering?
What is his big idea or agenda?
Well, aside from refusing to provide details on how much he was paid by Huawei, the true subtext of Charest’s overall message and theme is that the big government agenda of Justin Trudeau needs only a few tweaks, rather than outright opposition.
A Quebec MP has demanded to know why the Trudeau government ordered a quarter of the RCMP officers stationed in Quebec to chaperone illegal border crossers at Roxham Road rather than focus on gun trafficking.
It is said that a picture says a thousand words; we might say that, in Trudeau’s case, a photo tells a thousand lies about a thousand graves.
Francisco Cali Tzay, the UN special rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous peoples, told The Globe and Mail he would not be investigating crimes related to the graves during his trip, a setback for the Assembly of First Nations and other groups who had called on him to conduct an independent probe.
The coverage triggered protests, church arsons and condemnation from Canada’s bad-faith rivals, but last summer’s reporting on the country’s long-acknowledged historic shame had little to do with what happened.
This is how it all began, a year ago this week: ‘Horrible History’: Mass Grave of Indigenous Children Reported in Canada. On May 28, 2021, that’s how the New York Times headlined the first of a summer-long series of gruesome “discoveries” that precipitated a descent into paroxysms of shame, guilt and rage that swept across the country.
Canada Soccer says it has cancelled a controversial exhibition game against Iran set for next month in Vancouver.
The international match, which was scheduled for June 5 as part of the preparations for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year, drew the scorn of the families of those who died aboard Flight PS752 when the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) shot down the plane in 2020.
Despite the federal government’s assurances that it won’t regulate videos Canadians post for fun on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, a former top regulator has warned that a government bill still leaves the door open for doing precisely that.
