Pakistan’s PM urges governments to fight online hate and extremism after London, Ont. truck attack
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan is calling on world leaders to crack down on online hate and extremism following the deadly truck attack in London, Ont. — now being investigated by authorities as a possible act of terror.
Four people were killed and a nine-year-old boy suffered serious injuries when they were run down by a pickup truck Sunday evening.
Police say the family was targeted because they were Muslim. The family moved to Canada from Pakistan in 2007.
“Everyone is shocked in [Pakistan], because we saw the family picture, and so a family being targeted like that has had a deep impact in Pakistan,” Khan told the CBC’s chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton.
The CBC should be renamed the National Gaslighting Service.

American extremism is infiltrating Canada – and there’s no easy fix
In Canada, hate crimes have shot up, anti-Asian attacks have multiplied. Six mosque worshippers were killed in Quebec City in 2017 by a man who was motivated by the American far right. There was the horrid hate crime Sunday in London, Ont., where a Muslim family was run over and killed. Whether the accused was influenced by racist groups is unknown.
Top Canadian ‘Conservative’ Asks ‘Forgiveness’ for ‘Cis/Straight/White’ Privilege
Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP Michelle Rempel Garner, currently the shadow minister for health, wrote: “I humble myself and ask forgiveness, and seek to make things right. I have privilege; I am cis/straight/white. But I am also a woman who works in a system dominated by white maleness.”
U.S. lawmakers planning economic battle with China have some questions — about Canada
…. The bigger story of the bill is an economic one: That the era of free markets is falling out of fashion, replaced by government-mandated industrial policy.
The trend appears bipartisan.
The shift in attitude began under Donald Trump, whose trade representative, Robert Lighthizer, wrote in an essay that ideal trade policy had to be about more than cheap goods and should prioritize domestic manufacturing and working-class jobs.
A new strategy paper released this week by the White House underscores the extent to which the Biden administration shares this view.
The China class will ensure it’s all bullshit.
Winnipeg-to-Wuhan Mystery Deepens
Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, the former program director at Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) who transferred deadly pathogens to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), and her husband, Keding Cheng, are missing from Winnipeg and may no longer even be in Canada, according to John Woods of the Canadian Press.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) “wouldn’t say if they know where the pair is,” and the case remains shrouded in secrecy. On the other hand, some fascinating facts have already emerged.
Millions of people will move to Canada in the next 20 years, but where will they live?
Canada is facing a severe housing shortage that is contributing to unprecedented increases in housing prices in almost every part of the country.
As a result, prospective homebuyers are tempering their expectations. Some are settling for a less impressive house than they wanted. Others are leaving their communities entirely, moving to a more affordable part of the country – in turn driving up prices and starting the same cycle there.
The consequences of this could be substantial even if the number of Canadians in need of a home stays at its current level – but of course, that won’t be the case.

Canada to Fight ‘Far-Right’ Groups After ‘Terrorist Attack’ That Killed Four Muslims
Politicizing a tragedy.
… What is troubling about the reaction to this case is the speedy politicization of it, revealing just how low politicians are willing to stoop to exploit a profound tragedy for their own agendas. Indeed, Prime Minster Justin Trudeau quickly vowed to hunt down what he deemed to be “far right” groups — a “project” that he started a long time ago. What is highly disturbing is that Trudeau has absolutely zero evidence regarding the political leanings of 20-year-old Nathaniel Veltman — who has been charged with four counts of murder and one of attempted murder.
Munir El-Kassem says events in Palestine related to murder of Muslims in London, ON
