Canada Accuses Hezbollah, Iran of Money Laundering
The Canadian federal government has tasked a committee with investigating money laundering, gambling and drug smuggling operations through casinos in Vancouver, in which a network reportedly affiliated with the Iranian regime and Hizbullah are involved, al-Arabiya network revealed on Tuesday.
A former Canadian Royal Mounted Police officer said:”We have seen their continuing affinity (Iranian regime network and Hizbullah) with Chinese network active in illegal activities in Canada,” he said, pointing out to “phone calls” between the two parties.
“If we look at the calls that we monitored and the recordings, we will see that some of the calls came from a person officially known to be closely associated with Hizbullah, which is linked to Iran and one of its proxies … and we will see gangs of Chinese origins and their networks receiving security from Iranian networks,” he added.
Who is the real “stinking albatross”?
The mainstream media continues to be out of step with the conservative movement – and ordinary Canadians.
In a Globe and Mail column entitled Tory MP’s bill to ban sex-selective abortion is the stinking albatross Erin O’Toole was warned about Konrad Yakabuski made several baseless accusations about why pro-lifers are not electable for the Conservative Party of Canada.
“Anti-choice groups claim to be acting in the name of ‘gender equality,’ though their ultimate goal of banning abortion – and depriving all women of a fundamental right – shows this claim to be disingenuous,” Yakabuski writes.
This claim has numerous innate errors. To begin, there is no right to abortion in Canada. The 1988 Morgentaler decision ruled that Parliament needed to create a new law to regulate abortion – it has since failed to do so, and thus Canada is in a situation in which abortion is neither legal nor illegal. Canada is one of two countries in the world where this is the case – the other being North Korea.

Guilbeault’s nightmare interview happened because he cannot admit the real reason for Bill C-10
Steven Guilbeault managed to make Patty Hajdu look competent.
Yes, I know you are thinking that is impossible. But just watch this absolute nightmare of an interview.
Another church in Canada has been forcibly closed for defying lockdown orders. Read the pastor’s epic response.
Trinity Bible Chapel in Ontario has refused to close, despite more than $40 million in fines and harassment of its members. Months ago, the church published a statement explaining why they believe this defiance honors Christ.

‘Aliens are coming’: Alberta RCMP 911 dispatchers fielding more calls about UFO sightings
A blinding flash of light, something unidentified overhead or aliens at the door. Somewhere the truth is out there.
Canadians appear to be seeing more “out there” while scanning the night skies in increasing numbers. The COVID-19 pandemic has people spending more time outdoors, which has led to a growing interest in astronomy and unusual calls to RCMP 911 dispatchers.
LILLEY: Evidence shows Mounties kept a copy of the gun registry
When criminal defence lawyer Ed Burlew was sifting through the documents sent over by a Crown prosecutor regarding his client, one jumped out. It was proof that the RCMP had kept a copy of the gun registry despite Parliament ordering it destroyed in 2012.
The long-gun registry was brought into being in 1995 with Bill C-68 but was done away with after the passage of Bill C-19 in 2012.
Douglas Todd: Hidden foreign ownership helps explain Metro Vancouver’s ‘decoupling’ of house prices, incomes
The lack of connection between soaring housing prices and tepid local wages in Metro Vancouver is caused in large part by hidden foreign ownership, says a peer-reviewed study from Simon Fraser University that is being welcomed by the B.C. minister responsible for housing.
Based on data Statistics Canada has been collecting only recently, SFU public policy specialist Joshua Gordon’s paper shows the “decoupling” of housing prices from incomes in Metro Vancouver has been caused by “significant sums of foreign capital that have been excluded from official statistics.”
Conrad Black: Canada needs a new path forward … But our bumbling Opposition has yet to present us with one
Once again, it is my duty to remind readers that our federal government is apparently preparing to call a premature election based on what it believes to be the popularity it has earned for its handling of the COVID crisis. Apart from fatalities per capita, in which Canada’s performance is strong among advanced countries that provide believable information, the chief measurement of this country’s handling of the pandemic at this stage of the game is the percentage of people who have been fully vaccinated. By this criterion, Canada ranks 62, at 2.6 per cent. Among the countries that are less developed and have less-advanced public health services than Canada are, in ascending order of their superiority to us in this vital statistic, Montenegro, Cambodia, Croatia, Mexico, Panama, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Romania, Turkey, Morocco, Uruguay, Chile and Northern Cyprus…
Fauci says Canada isn’t mishandling the pandemic’s third wave
U.S. President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci says Canadian health officials don’t appear to be doing anything wrong in their response to the global pandemic, despite rising caseloads in most parts of the country.
“What goes through my head when I look north is not that Canadians are doing anything wrong or making any big mistakes at all,” he told CBC News Network’s Power & Politics in an exclusive interview.
Endless spin and circles of inaction mark Liberals’ response to sexual harassment in the military
Six years and 33 days after a former Supreme Court judge issued a report calling for an independent body to handle complaints of sexual harassment in the military, the Liberal government has appointed a former Supreme Court judge to report on creating an independent body to handle complaints of sexual harassment in the military.
If you read that sentence again and spin around three times, you might just get a sense of the progress the Liberal government has made on the issue.
