Douglas Todd: Canada’s ‘bank of mom and dad’ returning us to 19th-century inheritance culture

The large-scale transfer of inter-generational wealth is a sign this country is reverting to the harsh class system that once dominated Britain, France and Russia

“… Housing prices in many parts of the world are becoming progressively disconnected from local wages. And Canada’s problem is among the worst.

Housing is considered “affordable” when the ratio of price to average household income is about four to one. But in Vancouver, according to Demographia, the ratio is among the the most alarming in the world at 13 to one. In Toronto it’s 9.9 to one. For comparison, London, England, an international financial hub, is 8.6 to one. And in Seattle, a high-tech headquarters, it’s just 6.6 to one.”

Meng and the Michaels: why China’s embrace of hostage diplomacy is a warning to other nations

“China was sending a message not just to Canada, but to every other country in the world that they take hostages. And if you step out of line from their policies or don’t toe the line the way Beijing has instructed you to do, then they will take retaliatory action and kidnap your citizens,” said Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, a senior fellow at the University of Ottawa’s graduate school of public and international affairs. “This is the behaviour of a medieval kingdom – not a 2021 superpower.”

China don’t give a damn. Neither does our China class.

Families of ISIS detainees in Syria take Canada to court over inaction on repatriation

TORONTO — Families of Canadians detained in Syria over links to ISIS have filed a case in federal court against the Canadian government over perceived inaction on getting them home.

The proceeding was filed on Monday in Ottawa on behalf of 11 families – referred to as “Bring Our Loved Ones Home,” or BOLOH, to protect their identities. The case outlines their beliefs the government has neglected to uphold parts of the Federal Court Act, the Citizenship Act, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, in relation to repatriating their family members.

I bet Trudeau is mulling a National Day Of Reconciliation with ISIS Day.

Majority Of Immigrants Happy While Government, Media Brand Canada Racist

“Immigrants who arrived within the past five years commended Canada’s “fair treatment” of all groups by a wide margin, 78%.”

So says Blacklock’s Reporter-– no doubt an organization our Liberal government and media could live without. Talk about defying a publicly accepted social standard.

No, America couldn’t have been Canada

Battle of Long Island

Canadian anti-Americanism can’t match the self-hatred of the American left

What if William Howe, the dithering British commander, hadn’t let the American army escape in the Battle of Long Island in 1776? What if he had nipped the whole damn thing in the bud? In that case, as dual Canadian-American citizen Adam Gopnik complains in the New Yorker, ‘We Could Have Been Canada’.

That’s not exactly a hill to die on, but it’s catnip for other dual nationals such as Malcolm Gladwell, who some years back produced an amusing plea for Canadian World Domination in the Washington Post.

Media group wants journalists legally protected from online comments

One of the organizations in charge of distributing millions in Liberal media bailout funds has come out in support of the pro-censorship bill, C-36, and has called for the law to provide legal protections for journalists who face harassment online.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, News Media Canada offered its support for the bill in a submission to the Department of Canadian Heritage.

“This is not about limiting democratic expression. It is about protecting it, and its most precious guardians, journalists. And it is about ensuring all publishers including internet intermediaries are held accountable for harmful content,” wrote News Media Canada CEO Paul Deegan.

Does that include David Menzies?
