Why Media Push For The Hijab To Define Canadian Politics
It would do Canadians well to contemplate an unnerving trend in society. Why is it that fringe social issues continuously take centre-stage in federal politics? For example, transgenderism.

Posthaste: Canada is being advertised as an attractive place for Russian oligarchs to set up shell companies

Fumbling the ball
Justin Trudeau famously claimed when he took office that Canada was back, but his attention to global affairs has been pitiful: five ministers in six years, the latest one inarguably the least qualified. He has been preoccupied with optics, and it’s arguable he no longer carries any standing to lead.

Canada is an international haven for financial crime and the only antidote is transparency
There’s a reason that dirty money from around the world washes up on Canadian shores.

Woke Liberals move to dictate what is news
What’s the biggest threat to Canadian democracy?
Horn-honking, bouncy-castling truckers? White nationalists marching with tiki torches held high?
Apparently, the popular backyard mosquito repellants ($14.99 at Canadian Tire online) are occasionally used as a racist symbol by white supremacists.
To hear the federal Liberal government and their media toadies tell it: Yes, truckers and lurking racists (backed by anonymous foreign funders and provocateurs) are seeking to undermine our institutions.
But the biggest threat isn’t even Russian nukes. It’s the Liberal government.
