Socialized Medicine For the Win

When people talk about the wonders of socialized medicine, they talk as if it were free and as comprehensive as the health care available in the United States.

Neither of these things is true. Although the United States’ health care policies are disastrous in their own ways—particularly with regard to its reliance on third-party payer systems, scammy Pharmacy Benefit Managers, and a highly bureaucratized hybrid public/private system that drives costs through the roof and provides no transparency, the socialized health care systems in most other countries are grossly inferior.

Federally funded study to probe how to provide ‘culturally preferred food’ to immigrants

Just as the Liberals were announcing their budgetary plans to cut the size of government, a Vancouver-area researcher was granted $600,000 in federal monies to figure out how to ensure more African food is made available in Canada’s major cities to serve growing populations of African immigrants.

Just say no to bugs.

Liberals back Bloc’s proposal to attack the religious with hate speech laws

Liberal MPs on the House justice committee backed a Bloc Québécois proposal to remove a religious exemption from Canada’s hate speech laws — after the suggestion initially appeared to halt the government’s anti-hate legislation.

The Criminal Code currently includes an exemption for hate speech, “if, in good faith, the person expressed or attempted to establish by an argument an opinion on a religious subject or an opinion based on a belief in a religious text.”

On Tuesday evening, the justice committee added a Bloc amendment to the Liberals’ Bill C-9 — dubbed the Combatting Hate Act — that would remove the religious exemption.

Start counting the number of attacks against Christians as opposed to Islam.

Festung Ottawa: DND scrambles to figure out how to mobilize and equip a citizens’ army

The Department of National Defence is scrambling to figure out how it will clothe, equip and train hundreds of thousands of new reservists envisioned under an ambitious mobilization proposal that Canada’s top military commander describes as a work in progress.

Similarly, in what may be an ominous sign of the times, the department has established a key position dedicated solely to growing the military in the event of a major crisis.

Internal documents obtained by CBC News show the military buildup will, at the moment, proceed slowly because the defence industry is either overwhelmed — or not equipped for the ramp-up.

I suspect the real reason for Ottawa arming it’s loyal Elbow People is the anticipated need to put down a citizen revolt.

People are fed up with seeing Canada destroyed by 3rd World immigration and DEI never mind the blatant corruption of the carpet-bagging Carney government.

Inside the Fortified Sinaloa-Linked Compound Canada Still Can’t Seize After 12 Years of Legal War

VANCOUVER — A British Columbia government lawsuit seeks to merge almost a decade of litigation into a single, high-stakes test of whether the province can finally seize a fortified mansion near the U.S. border that was first swept up in a 2014 fentanyl investigation, raided in 2016, and is now at the center of a new synthetic-opioid case alleging its occupants contracted with the leader of Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel to flood narcotics into Canada.

Should You Be Able to Ask a Doctor to Help You Die?

Over the past five years, the practice of allowing a physician to help severely ill patients end their lives with medication has been legalized in nine countries on three continents. Courts or legislatures, or both, are considering legalization in a half-dozen more, including South Korea and South Africa, as well as eight of the 31 American states where it remains prohibited.

It is a last frontier in the expansion of individual autonomy. More people are seeking to define the terms of their deaths in the same way they have other aspects of their lives, such as marriage and childbearing. This is true even in Latin America, where conservative institutions such as the Roman Catholic church are still powerful.

How wonderful that Kill Krazy Kanada merits a mention in every story about MAID.

We are a world famous abattoir.

When Diamonds Are Not Forever

After decades of growth driven by diamond mining, Canada’s Northwest Territories are facing the closure of three major mines and wondering: What’s next?

Canada’s Northwest Territories got lucky twice.

At the turn of the 20th century, an epic gold rush established the capital, Yellowknife, and brought development to the vast, sparsely populated region dominated by boreal forests and Arctic tundra.

Then a hundred years later, just as underground gold reserves in the ground were depleting, prospectors found diamonds.

The Territories, with a surface area more than three times that of California, became the world’s third-largest exporter of diamonds.

Now that era is coming to a messy end.

Accused B.C. extortionist was allegedly in Canada on expired student visa

A man charged in two high-profile B.C. extortion incidents was living in Canada on an expired student visa at the time of his alleged crimes, according to court records.

CBC News has learned that Vikram Sharma was flagged by authorities weeks before attacks in Surrey and on Vancouver Island in 2024 because he allegedly relied on fraudulent documents in his bid to extend the visa that first allowed him into Canada in June 2022.

The 24-year-old — whose student visa expired in April 2024 — is currently believed to be in India.

Canada’s environmental ‘realism’ looks more like surrender

Last week, the United Kingdom did something all too rare: it chose leadership by backing science and prioritizing public safety. The Labour government announced it would ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea, strengthen a windfall tax and accelerate phasing out of fossil-fuel subsidies.

These are not symbolic gestures. They are an acknowledgment that the global energy system is shifting and that mature economies must shift with it.

Under the United Kingdom’s Communist-Islamist alliance energy impoverishment is a feature not a bug.

Besides Carney is at best playing a long game, he wants Canada desperately poor as well.

Margaret Atwood: The Handmaid’s Tale has become ‘more and more plausible’

Margaret Atwood -Old Elbows Up Crank

Margaret Atwood has said the plot of her book The Handmaid’s Tale, which tells a story of an authoritarian regime under which women are forced to reproduce, has become “more and more plausible” in recent years.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, Atwood said she believed the plot was “bonkers” when she first developed the concept for the novel because the US was the “democratic ideal” at the time.

“It was the land of freedom … and people in Europe just didn’t believe that it could ever go like that,” she said.

“I’ve always been somebody who has never believed it can’t happen here. It can happen anywhere, given the circumstances.”

Has this crank ever raised her voice against Islam and sharia law?

RCMP employee linked to Palestinian activist network raises questions over political influence

Federal records show a founder of a Palestinian activist organization is currently working inside the RCMP’s federal policing branch, prompting fresh scrutiny over political advocacy within Canada’s national police force.

Blacklock’s Reporter says Access To Information documents reveal the founder of the Muslim Federal Employees Network uses an RCMP email address, though the force redacted the individual’s name.
