Canadian provinces are torn on implementing digital IDs. Alberta and Ontario have already begun the process while Saskatchewan has recently scrapped its plans. However, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (“TBS”) and Digital Identification and Authentication Council of Canada (“DIACC”) seem determined to forge ahead regardless of how citizens feel about their plans. They, of course, use the sales pitch of convenience to convince the public to relinquish their freedoms.
With Liberal officials now openly mulling the idea of a nationwide ban on handguns, they are simultaneously pursuing reforms that would slacken the penalties for cross-border gun-smugglers.
And according to police in Canada’s most violence-afflicted cities, it’s these smuggled guns that are a far deadlier problem for Canada than the legal ones have ever been.
Print more money? Check. Bring in low-wage workers? Check. Boost productivity and generate real growth? Nope.
In the month since Russia’s retreat from Ukraine’s north, the capital Kyiv has seen a frenzy of high-profile visitors: 11 prime ministers, Austria’s chancellor, the U.S. secretaries of state and defence, its House speaker, the UN secretary-general — even Hollywood star Angelina Jolie.
Canada has not sent even a cabinet minister.
Since last year, Canadian law, in all its majesty, has allowed both the rich as well as the poor to kill themselves if they are too poor to continue living with dignity. In fact, the ever-generous Canadian state will even pay for their deaths. What it will not do is spend money to allow them to live instead of killing themselves.
“Travelling across Canada these past few weeks, one of the most common questions I get is about the World Economic Forum (WEF), the Prime Minister’s post-national ambitions, and the threat of digital ID,” writes Lewis.
“Unfortunately, we continue to see the real fears and concerns of Canadians being dismissed as “conspiracy.” But what are we supposed to tell Canadians when the head of the WEF said about Justin Trudeau and our Government “We penetrate the cabinets…? I know that half of his cabinet or more than half are actually young global leaders of the world economic forum.”
OTTAWA – The “Rolling Thunder” rally is set to wind down today after arriving in Ottawa Friday afternoon, bringing large crowds to a downtown core where residents are still tense after the three-week-long occupation in February.
A spokeswoman for Freedom Fighters Canada, one of the groups organizing the weekend-long demonstration, says a church service scheduled for 10:30 a.m. is the only event associated with the rally set to take place today.
Protest organizers say the rally was set up to oppose COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
Believe it or not, there was a time when being a conservative in Canada was fair and reasonable. In fact, it wasn’t that long ago. It was during the twelve year period that Conservative Stephen Harper served as prime minister that a line of demarcation appeared.
Toward the end of Harper’s tenure, Canadian media began to play the “race card.” One catalyst involved a new arrival to Canada who demanded to cover her face during her citizenship ceremony. General society objected to the idea of Islamic Law overruling 145 years of Canadian tradition. PM Stephen Harper agreed.
An association between conservative politics and “Islamophobia” was born. To this day, mainstream media has clung to the concept. As years passed, a notion of conservatives as racist– both the party and the public– has solidified into a common social perception.
A shocking new report from Canada’s National Defence Minister’s Advisory Panel describes religion as a “source of suffering and generational trauma” and directs officials not to allow military chaplains from religions that do not accept the Canadian government’s principles of diversity and inclusion.
The Defence Team “cannot justify” hiring members of religions that it deems “marginalize certain people or categorically refuse them a position of leadership,” according to the report issued April 25 from Canada’s Minister of National Defence Anita Anand.
Four of the biggest Canadian pension plans have major ownership in European pipeline or gas-distribution companies serving countries that depend on the flow of natural gas from Russia.
The pensions, all of which announced they would divest Russian investments in the wake of that country’s invasion of Ukraine, will not make a similar exit from these holdings, however.
In response to questions from The Globe and Mail, several of the pensions would not explicitly confirm that those companies are indeed transporting any gas from Russia. In many cases, the companies merely transport customers’ gas, with no say in where it comes from or goes. All said the companies they hold are powerless to take action against Russia in the absence of government sanctions or other regulatory intervention.
Go Incognito
The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) may go to war — not in Ukraine, but against its own members who don’t conform to a new standard of theological intolerance.
This week, the minister of national defence released the report of the Minister’s Advisory Panel on Systemic Racism and Discrimination. The panel, set up in December 2020 by the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, was given the “clear mandate to seek out the policies, processes and practices that enable systemic racism and discrimination in the Department of National Defence (DND) and CAF.”
Get ready for Justin’s Tranny Brigade.
Canada’s dirty secret is finally out. For more than two years, the Government of Canada has allowed a senior member of an antisemitic terror group to roam freely, contrary to Canadian law.
The “Rolling Thunder” protest moves into its second day Saturday with a number of events in the downtown area.
Bikers began gathering at St. Laurent Shopping Centre at about 9 a.m. to prepare for a driveby at the War Memorial to honour Canada’s war dead.
The bikes are expected to pass the memorial around 11 a.m. By noon, to head out of the city.

“As housing prices rise, inflation continues and interest rates go up… we can see that there’s a bunch of Canadians who have kind of given up on the idea of home ownership,” says Gregory Jack, vice-president of public affairs at Ipsos.
Those sentiments are highest in British Columbia (74 per cent), Quebec (72 per cent) and Ontario (62 per cent), but lowest in the Prairies and Atlantic Canada, the polling shows.
A little-known immigration pathway called the Foreign Skilled Military Applicant (FSMA) has only seen 15 successful candidates over the last five years.
“Over the last year alone, the Canadian Forces Recruiting Group (CFRG) interacted with approximately 100 individuals who were interested in joining the military through the FSMA,” military spokesperson Major Brian Kominar told NCM.
“Discussions involving the Department of National Defence, the Canadian Armed Forces, and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on lifting the citizenship requirement are continuing, though there are no changes to announce at this time,” he said.
