… Zelenskyy’s main request is for NATO to introduce a no-fly zone over Ukraine. In strategic terms, that is a very bad idea since it would be tantamount to a declaration of war. But even if the Trudeau government was gung-ho for the concept, there is nothing practical that Canada could offer. This country’s CF-18 jets are older than their pilots and would be target practise for Russia’s modern air defence system.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has signalled its solidarity with Ukraine in the form of supplies, weapons and sanctions since the early days of Russia’s latest incursion into its territory, but has not deployed troops for combat.
“This is the first time where people say, ‘Give diplomacy and sanctions a chance but brace for potentially this becoming military involvement,”’ said Leger executive vice-president Christian Bourque.
Parliamentarians convened a first-of-its-kind inquiry into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of the Emergencies Act on Monday, the same day the Assembly of First Nations national chief expressed concerns over the act’s ability to label activists as criminals.
After a string of military exercises in northern Canada and the United States in recent days, the Canadian military will conduct a NORAD-specific exercise this week aimed at strengthening the continent’s defence against a variety of threats, including those originating from Russia.
The Arctic air defence operation, dubbed Operation Noble Defender (NB), involves Canadian and U.S. personnel and equipment and stretches from the Yukon to Newfoundland and Labrador, and also covers Alaska and areas off the coast of Greenland.
BRAMPTON, Ont. — Ontario Premier Doug Ford says neither he nor his Progressive Conservative caucus members will be endorsing anyone for the leadership of the federal Conservative party.
When asked about it Tuesday at an unrelated announcement in Brampton, Ont., Ford said both he and the people in his caucus have their hands full supporting the people of Ontario.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly and Defence Minister Anita Anand are among multiple Canadians who have been banned from Russia.
They were included in a list of banned foreigners on the Russian foreign ministry’s website.
Although they didn’t originate the term, Canada’s Liberal government have redefined the phrase “more to the story than meets the eye.” A rarity it is to uncover a decision made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau devoid of stealth and subterfuge.
Our most recent example arrives via government’s response to the Ottawa Truckers Convoy. Most Canadians are familiar with one ramification– a freezing of bank accounts as punitive measures against organizers and participants.
Behind the surface is found unexplored territory of government overreach. So much so that lawmakers in the United States want to protect American citizens from the neo-communist crackdowns occurring in Canada.
Sean Fraser said the government was still targeting to accept more economic immigrants than ever before, it was just adopting a different strategy due to the pandemic.
The CTF’s debt clock has been making its way across Canada since the 1990s. Last year, however, the organization had to retire the original clock when it ran out of digits, which topped out at $999,999,999,999.99.
BERLIN, March 14 (Reuters) – Germany will buy 35 U.S. F-35 fighter jets to replace its ageing Tornado, it said on Monday, announcing a first big defence deal since Chancellor Olaf Scholz pledged a 100-billion-euro upgrade to the military in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The move appeared to be part of a tectonic shift in German security policy, including a pledge to reach NATO’s 2% target for defence spending, after years of accusations that Germany was too dovish towards Moscow in compensation for its Nazi past.
Canada’s spy agency sent multiple warnings to the Canadian Space Agency about Wanping Zheng, a former engineer now accused of negotiating on behalf of a Chinese aerospace company — and even refused to give a presentation at the CSA because it knew Zheng would be there, according to new court documents.
The RCMP charged 61-year-old Zheng last December with breach of trust in a case police say is tied to foreign interference.
Throughout the decades, the transformation of Canadian society has received far too little attention. The changes are profound, and more than likely, permanent. Untouched by mainstream media, knowledge of our social trajectory remains poorly understood.
A certain type of citizen can recognize the transition. The Canadian-born retain an ability to see the patterns. Generally, new arrivals haven’t lived here long enough to do so. This being one reason why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gives preference to 3rd World communities over “traditional” Canadians.
On the right side of the political line in the sand, we the fringe are highly accustomed to and getting comfortable with the constant bombardment of negativity fired at us from our sitting federal Liberal government. Justin Trudeau and his cabal have meanwhile managed to shock news outlets worldwide with their repelling rhetoric and hypocritical utter lack of self-awareness as they pummell home scornful speaking points on protestors who parked on Parliament Hill demanding freedom from pandemic restrictions.
The unacceptables now take it all in stride, knowing what he will say before he opens his mouth. His fall backs when under attack are now soothingly foreseeable.
Racist.
Antisocial.
Delusional.
Hateful.
Misogynist.
Violent.
Extremist.
Terrorists.
The list goes on. These are Justin and company’s go-to descriptors; his standard speech fodder nowadays really. They are words I hardly ever find the need to utilize unless I am mocking their glaring and unrestrained over-application and use. He then always predictably – after deeply insulting citizens whom he knows absolutely nothing about – goes on to mutter about how he “has our backs”. What a guy.
Russia’s annexation of Crimea robbed Ukraine of nearly 80% of offshore oil and gas drilling rights. Observers fear Russia, at some point, may try the same in Canada’s north.
Carleton University’s School of Journalism held a panel discussion with members of the legacy media on Tuesday to discuss their role in covering what the school called “the siege of Ottawa” by “the so-called freedom convoy.”
Before it even took place, the event received backlash online for its biased tone and the apparent exclusion of independent and right-of-centre journalists.
