Canada’s spy service watched nationalist group in ’60s, ’70s over communism concerns

Canada’s spy service closely monitored the burgeoning nationalist movement in the 1960s and ’70s, poring over pamphlets, collecting reports from confidential sources and warily watching for signs of Communist infiltration, once-secret records reveal.

The RCMP‘s security branch, responsible for sniffing out subversives at the time, quietly tracked the rise of the Committee for an Independent Canada, seeing it as ripe for “exploitation or manipulation” by radicals.

Bet that the PPC and any non-mainstream party is being spied on by our current ruling class.

Did Refugee Ibrahim Ali Get Away With Murdering 13-Year Old Marissa Shen?

In an interview with Justin Trudeau in September, 2018, our prime minister issued the following statement: “I trust our justice system to apply consequences to this.”

Mr. Trudeau was responding to a question from a Maclean’s magazine journalist regarding the murder of 13-year old Marissa Shen of Burnaby, British Columbia.

Just under four years have passed since this ghastly murder. Fascinating it is that no one knows whether or not consequences were applied to accused child-killer Ibrahim Ali.

Conrad Black: Canada’s self-esteem problem

Conrad Black: Canada’s self-esteem problem

Some of us are trying to wave the maple leaf flag sensibly, but it is a lonely and rather thankless vocation

To borrow a clangorous platitude from popular psychology, Canada has to address its problem of low self-esteem. There are several prominent indications of this problem. The second-largest province, Quebec, with about 24 per cent of the total population, about a fifth of them English- rather than French-speaking, is proposing unilaterally to amend the Canadian Constitution (which it has not officially ratified), in order to restrain the use English within its borders. All the political parties, in Quebec and federally, apparently welcome this development.


Like many of you I am not counting on a Canadian resurgence.

Our political and corporate class have deliberately balkanized the populace for their own greed driven ends.

They lie about the so called benefits of mass immigration when in fact all it offers is a smaller piece of a shrinking pie.

We are approaching 3rd world status. Politically we’re nearly there, a fading nation governed by parties and a bureaucracy that cares nothing for you and I and even less for the law.

Our heritage is subverted and maligned deliberately to make replacement all the easier.

They want you poor and afraid with no hope for the future make no mistake.

Canada: Modern but No Longer Very Democratic or Western

I lived in two developing African countries for 16 years: Kenya and Tanzania. Despite their countries having been wracked by tribalism, corrupting Marxist ideologies, and violence, when you get to know East Africans one on one and in small groups, you will find them looking for the joy of life, deeply appreciative of what they have, funny, down to earth, tolerant of strangers, yet loyal to family and clan and desirous of development.

B.C. court decision clears way for federal action on foreign ownership of real estate

A B.C. Court of Appeal ruling that declares nothing is racist about taxing foreign buyers of real estate in Canada clears the way for federal politicians to propose bold policies to deal with the crisis of housing unaffordability.

With an election call in the offing, Canada’s three largest political parties can feel freer to challenge critics and make stronger promises than they already have to restrict foreign ownership. In effect, that means Canada can join most nations of the world in standing up for national sovereignty.

Rex Murphy: Dany Fortin’s reputation torched by troubling witch hunt

Admitted heterosexual.

The National Post’s recent story on the sudden firing of Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin after 32 years of service in the Canadian military has elements that are very troubling. Not least of which is a sexual misconduct allegation made by one person about an event that allegedly occurred 30-plus years ago and has not been proven in court, but was nonetheless made public and acted on by government and military authorities, thus destroying the man’s reputation.

C’mon Rex, Fortin is a practicing heterosexual, that makes him unfit for the new Rainbow Forces!

Liberal majority government in ‘doubt’ as lead over Conservatives shrinks, poll finds

With federal parties gearing up for a possible federal election in the coming months, new polling suggests that waning support for the Liberals is going to make winning a majority government difficult to pull off.

The Conservatives are now closing the gap, according to new polling from Ipsos, with the Liberals down two points at 36 per cent and the Tories gaining four points in the last month to get to an even 30 per cent nationally.

Umar Zameer, accused of killing T.O. cop makes court appearance, lawyer says murder being taken out of context

The lawyer for the man accused of killing a Toronto cop earlier this month made a brief court appearance today — far earlier than scheduled.

Umar Zameer, 31, was supposed to make a bail appearance at Old City Hall at 2 p.m., but media were told shortly after 1 p.m. that the matter had already been dealt with, leaving reporters without an opportunity to observe the proceedings, or even get their first look at the accused.

… Hasan’s statement Friday went on to say: “It is extremely important to recognize that so far, you have been told only of an allegation — devoid of context and detail — about what happened.

“The evidence at the trial will show what actually happened in that City Hall parking lot.

No doubt Islamophobia is at work!

How Artificial Intelligence Could Help Canada Meet Its Bold Immigration Targets

After immigration levels plummeted during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada plans to welcome 400,000 newcomers by the end of 2021 and 411,000 in 2022.

These figures arrived in tandem with a spring announcement regarding new funding for the artificial intelligence-based “GeoMatch” tool, which is designed to optimize immigrant settlement patterns for improved financial outcomes. At the same time, the pace of data analytics testing in the sorting and management of temporary resident visa applications is accelerating.

Both of these developments suggest AI-rooted automation could play a role in supporting immigration targets and ensuring the success of new immigrants in Canada’s post-pandemic economy.

Post-pandemic economy? Someone isn’t paying attention.
