N.S. court says it cannot intervene in case of teen Syrian refugee allegedly beaten by her father
A Nova Scotia court ruled it cannot intervene in the child protection case of a teenage Syrian refugee whose father allegedly beat her, breaking her nose, when he learned she had been texting a boy.
She must have spoken out against diversity, that’s why they let her dad beat the shit out of her.
Canada’s decision to ban Huawei and ZTE from the country’s 5G telecommunications network will be a blow to an already tense relationship with China, experts warn.
Although it’s not yet clear if China will retaliate beyond strong condemnation of Canada’s decision, experts say the possibility exists that the risk has increased for Canadian travellers and businesses in China.
Too bad, maybe don’t play ball with commie slavers?
Like clockwork … China accuses Canada of ‘political manipulation’ over 5G ban of Huawei, ZTE
Beijing has accused Ottawa of “political manipulation” after it moved to ban Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE from Canada’s 5G networks.
Speaking at a regular press conference on Friday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said Canada’s decision “runs counter to market economy principles and free trade rules and has seriously damaged the rights and interests of Chinese companies.”
“China will make comprehensive and serious assessment of the situation and take all necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies,” he told reporters in Beijing.
Violent extremists in Canada have the “intent and capability” to commit acts of terrorism, but detecting attacks by lone actors or small groups before they happen is “difficult,” says an internal threat assessment conducted for the federal government last year.
The warning is found in a threat analysis prepared by the federal government’s Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre (ITAC) in the lead-up to last year’s muted Canada Day celebrations.
CRTC Chair Ian Scott appeared before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage yesterday and Bill C-11 proved to be a popular topic of discussion. The exchanges got testy at times as Scott seemingly stepped outside of his role as an independent regulatory by regularly defending government legislation, even veering into commenting on newspapers, which clearly falls outside the CRTC’s jurisdiction. With respect to Bill C-11, most newsworthy were two comments regarding the regulation of user content and the timelines for implementing the bill if it receives royal assent.
The infection has mostly been contained to endemic areas in Africa but a recent rise in infections in European countries is leading to concern there could be community transmission.
Public Health Canada announced Wednesday they were closely monitoring the virus after the confirmed case in the U.S. was linked to travel in Canada. The CBC’s Radio Canada is reporting 13 suspected cases in Montreal, but a spokesperson for the Public Health Agency of Canada tells CityNews that no cases have been confirmed at this time.
In a joint statement released Wednesday afternoon, Trade Minister Mary Ng and Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said China has reinstated market access for two Canadian grain trading companies that have been prevented from exporting canola seed to China since March 2019.
Canada is set to announce it will ban China’s Huawei from participating in the country’s 5G wireless network, CTV News has confirmed.
It’s time that progressive politicians condemn left-wing extremist violence with the same lack of equivocation as most conservatives denounce right-wing extremism
Former Conservative minister and senior RBC executive Michael Fortier and his family were asleep in their Montreal home at 1:30 a.m. on May 4, when he was woken by a neighbour banging on his drain pipe to warn him that the Jaguar and Land Rover parked in the driveway were on fire.
Well John that would require that your associates in the media also condemn “left-wing violence” and call out progressive politicians when they fail to do so. Facts are that the media for the most part are willing minions of the political class that seeks to criminalize “right-wing views.” Antifa, BLM, the Eco-Terrorists etc are their foot soldiers and they will continue to willingly turn a blind eye.
It’s one of the (dis)advantages of being an antique that you can recall a time when Canada had a $2 bill. There was a time when we had $1 bills, too, but that was even a longer time ago — co-incident I believe with the fall of the Ming dynasty in China — and not even I go back that far.
US tech giant Google has blasted the Trudeau government over a federal plan to regulate online news, calling it a sweeping attempt to impose government control over the web.
Vice President and Managing Director of Google Canada Sabrina Geremia warned in a lengthy post on Monday that Bill C-18 – also known as the Online News Act – would give the federal government “sweeping new powers” to regulate news content.
“The bill gives the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) unprecedented, sweeping new powers to regulate every aspect of the Canadian news industry,” wrote Geremia.
It’s been a rollercoaster ride for the energy industry lately. Volatile fossil fuel prices and supply chain disruptions have forced governments to take a hard look at domestic energy security – something that has been taken for granted for many years with ever-increasing globalization. These difficulties come as countries are taking steps to tackle the climate crisis. This opens the debate on how to balance concerns over emissions, fuel costs and geopolitics.
Canada is not immune to these worldwide problems. Although we are lucky to have an electricity system that is more than 80 per cent low-carbon and generated from domestic resources, including uranium mined in Canada, our energy system overall is still heavily reliant on fossil fuels. Transportation, buildings and industry are still mostly powered and heated by oil and natural gas, a significant portion of which is imported.
Countries have been forced to publicly reconsider their positions on nuclear power, which in many cases has been based on politics rather than economic and climate policy. Governments that once suggested they were finished with nuclear power are now admitting that such statements were premature.
Life in Canada is more expensive than ever – inflation is at a 31-year high, gas prices are out of control and the cost of goods and services continues to increase. As it looks more likely Canada is heading into a recession, it doesn’t seem like our politicians care as they continue to spend on frivolous and expensive programs and refuse to reduce spending or taxes.
A vast swath of North America from the Great Lakes to the West Coast is at risk of blackouts this summer as heat, drought, shuttered power plants and supply-chain woes strain the electric grid.
Power supplies in much of the US and part of Canada will be stretched, with demand growing again after two years of pandemic disruptions, according to an annual report. It’s among the most dire assessments yet from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, a regulatory body that oversees grid stability.
Jason Kenney quit as leader of his party, and premier of Alberta, Wednesday night after receiving a slight majority of support in his United Conservative Party leadership review.
“While 51 per cent of the vote passes the constitutional threshold of a majority, it clearly is not adequate support to continue on as leader,” Kenney told a crowd gathered at Spruce Meadows in Calgary.
Conservative Party of Canada leadership frontrunner1 Pierre Poilievre joined Dr. Jordan Peterson2 on the Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, released Monday, to discuss his candidacy and a number of issues animating the campaign, including housing and inflation, defunding the CBC, and the Freedom Convoy protests that paralyzed Ottawa for several weeks this past winter.
