“It is disgraceful the way Big Oil is gouging Canadians at the pumps.
“Gas prices are up and Big Oil CEOs are bragging about record profits.
“Liberals and Conservatives have rigged the system.
“When you pay more – their well-connected friends make more.”
It would have been a strange tweet at any time, but from a (effectively) co-prime minister it strove for the bizarre.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s recent encounter with protesters at an Ontario election campaign stop, where he was verbally harassed, is casting a renewed spotlight on politicians’ security, with Singh telling CTV News that he’s witnessing a level of anger he hasn’t seen before.
“What I’m noticing is true is that there is more of a polarization and an aggression and an anger that I haven’t seen before,” he said while visiting a pro-choice counter protest to the March for Life demonstrations on Parliament Hill on Thursday.
Singh received a barrage of insults earlier in the week as he exited a rally for Ontario NDP candidate Jen Deck, who’s running in the Peterborough – Kawartha riding.
Politicians verbally assaulted in Public! Why it’s an insurrection! Jail the peasantry!
Reap what you sow commie.
During a SECU Committee meeting, Richard Fadden, the former Deputy Minister of National Defence and Security Advisor, said that Trudeau went too far with his rhetoric when he called Freedom Convoy supporters a “fringe minority” with “unacceptable views” and that it was “not helpful.”
The announcement will confirm the Pope’s trip to Edmonton, Quebec City and Iqaluit during the last week of July, according to confidential sources whom the CBC is not identifying because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Canada is boosting its role in NATO deterrence efforts in Latvia amid a major shift by the alliance to a more assertive defensive posture in the wake of Russian atrocities in Ukrainian cities of Bucha and Mariupol.
“When you have the truth on your side, you don’t need to keep coming up with a bunch of new and easily-discredited ‘justifications’ for your actions.
Unfortunately for the Trudeau government, the truth is against them.
Hence, they flail around attempting to explain why they were so eager to take away the rights and freedoms of Canadians and use authoritarian state power to try and quash dissent.”
Videos posted to social media show protesters approaching Singh and shouting profanity in his face as he left the event. Some followed Singh to his vehicle, where they continued to yell and hold up middle fingers just outside the passenger-side window.

Probably NDP voters.
According to Sylvain Charlebois, professor of food distribution and policy at Dalhousie University, restaurant operators have begun alerting him to vegetable oil prices skyrocketing due to the low output of Ukrainian sunflower oil and Indonesia restricting exports of palm oil.
“I’m hearing from restaurant operators that they’re likely going to see prices triple by the end of this year when it comes to vegetable oil. Food service is a big deal when it comes to vegetable oil in Canada… so don’t be surprised if menu prices are impacted by that,” Charlebois told CTV News.
Biological men who identify as women are now officially allowed to transfer into women’s correctional institutions if they request to do so.
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) made the policy clear in a directive from the Commissioner on Wednesday that the transfers would take place regardless of the inmate’s anatomical sex.
The Value of Foreign Degrees by Source Country
Whether assessing the education level of recent arrivals or designing a “high-skill” system for selecting future immigrants, analysts should be careful not to treat foreign degrees as equivalent to U.S. degrees. Using data from the National Survey of College Graduates, this report shows not only that foreign degrees as a whole are less valuable in the U.S. than U.S. degrees, but also that their value varies substantially depending on the specific country or region where the degrees were earned.
Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government often talk about fighting ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation’.
When they do so they aren’t talking about persuasion or respectful disagreement.
Rather, they’re talking about using the power of the government to define what is and isn’t ‘truth’.
After a lunchtime Pierre Poilievre rally in Fergus, Ont., a woman named Ava had a burning question: She wanted a journalist to ask how Mr. Poilievre can be trusted when a “member” of the World Economic Forum is co-chair of his campaign.
She was talking about John Baird, the former foreign affairs minister under Stephen Harper. Ava believes billionaires Bill Gates and George Soros are trying to take over the world, in league with a German octogenarian named Klaus Schwab, who founded the WEF more than 50 years ago.
Ava is not alone. The first person I spoke to at that Fergus rally a couple of weeks ago told me Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doesn’t really run the country – Mr. Schwab does.
The federal government’s broad push to regulate the internet has the support of a majority of Canadians, according to a new survey, even though the details of Ottawa’s plans are generating strong pushback from policy experts.
Defence Minister Anita Anand says the world is “growing darker.”
Speaking at a conference of defence experts organized by the Canadian Global Affairs Institute on Tuesday, Anand emphasized the more “chaotic” state of the world means Canada will need to take a more “bold and aggressive” look at its own continental defence.
“We do live in a world at the present time that appears to be growing darker,” she said in a keynote speech to the conference.
