When even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thinks your Pride event is too aggressively weird and disruptive, it’s probably time to reconsider. Instead, Ottawa’s Capital Pride doubled down on its berserk anti-Israeli views, because ideas have consequences and bad ideas have terrible ones.
It’s a win for Trudeau IMHO.
He gets to pretend he supports Israel but in fact he’s really appeasing the Muslims he covets who don’t approve of him prancing about at Pride Parades.
In the span of just over a year, immigration went from a political non-starter to regular headline news. Now, just about everybody–including the federal Liberals–agrees immigration simply can’t continue as is. Unfortunately, “can’t continue as is” is manifesting more as a rebranding exercise than a substantial policy overhaul.
In 2022, the federal government dramatically expanded the low-wage Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) stream, which predictably resulted in exploitative working conditions, surging youth unemployment, and stagnant wage growth. The Wild Westification of the program has been bad for Canadians and newcomers alike.
You’re poorer than you think.
That’s the message from a Statistics Canada report that looked at the impact of inflation on after-tax family income. The report, issued Monday, showed that median after-tax family income in 2022 rose by 2.5% to $60,800.
The bad news is inflation wiped out that out, meaning families were worse off.
Liberals go hog wild on immigration, hoping to secure victory in 2029 and beyond
You would think a government that’s down 20 points might want to telegraph an aura of sanity, rather than spend its days finding new ways to eviscerate an immigration policy that has served Canada well since Lester Pearson led the Liberal party.
In a vacuum, some of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s changes might seem justified: whether it be the streamlined $7 electronic visas, or broadening refugee claims beyond the U.N.’s definition of those facing “persecution” to include accumulated “intersectional” experiences.
Why this sounds like the Great Replacement!
The Star is now publishing content on immigration that would have had them calling you a racist 1 or 2 years ago.
OTTAWA – The legal team for “Freedom Convoy” organizer Tamara Lich says she wasn’t part of any conspiracy to break the law when she helped organize a massive protest against pandemic restrictions in Ottawa.
The Crown alleges Lich and another organizer, Chris Barber, were in cahoots to block roads and disrupt locals in a bid to pressure the federal government to drop COVID-19 vaccine mandates in 2022.
What is going on with appointing Charles Adler to the Senate? Do they really know the guy? Or do they know him only too well?
Here’s the Adler deal. The old blowhard having had the sense to get out of near-bankrupt Corus (in 2021) while the getting was good, will now be received into the Senate at the age of 69 with a $178,000 annual salary. That will take him comfortably over the next six years to mandatory retirement at 75. Thereafter, the genteel poverty of a Senate pension.
Who knew Canadians cared so much about the Senate? Congratulate an old friend on his appointment to the Upper House, as I did to veteran broadcaster and newly named Senator Charles Adler, and you unleash a volley of cheers — and a torrent of vitriol. The most recurrent slurs were “Liberal” and “hypocrite,” referencing Adler’s trenchant criticism of the Conservatives, anti-vaxxers, and the institution he is now joining. The implication is that appointees must curry favour with the prime minister, and that if you say a bad word about the Red Chamber, you shouldn’t accept an appointment there.
As the federal government mulls whether to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, some Canadians say they would jump at the chance to buy a cheaper EV manufactured in that country.
Ottawa held a month-long consultation in July on how to handle Beijing’s powerful presence in the EV sector. Tariffs are among the options on the table.
Michael Wawrykowicz, who lives in Edmonton, uses a small Mitsubishi EV he bought second-hand four years ago for short trips around the city.
Given this is the CBC, I suspect the article is a trial balloon sent up by the Trudeau gov’t.
Quebec is implementing a six-month freeze on the intake of new temporary foreign workers for low-wage jobs in Montreal starting in September, the province’s premier said Tuesday.
François Legault’s announcement comes as his government has been calling for a “significant and rapid” reduction in the number of temporary immigrants in Quebec. The total number across the province has doubled to 600,000 from 300,000 in just two years, he said.
Six decades is a better idea.
In 2006, I arrived in Canada from England on a temporary skilled visa, sent by the University of Manchester to Edmonton to advance my training in sports surgeries. Born and raised in India, I completed my medical education there before moving to the UK for postgraduate orthopedic surgery training, spending eight years refining my skills. As the immigration officer handed back my passport that day, his parting words — ”Hope you stay back in Canada” — felt like a personal promise of acceptance and opportunity, an invitation to make Canada home after completing advanced training.
Fast forward to 2024: I did stay in Canada, planted roots, developed a practice, raised a family, and poured my heart into the community in Alberta, which embraced me as their own.
OTTAWA — The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs is asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Governor General Mary Simon to reconsider the appointment of veteran broadcaster Charles Adler to the Senate in light of comments he made about First Nations leaders in 1999.
That Trudeau government! They’re so weirdly racist!

Addictions Minister Ya’ara Saks is pushing back against claims that the decriminalization of cocaine and opioids in BC is responsible for a recent surge in overdose deaths.
Blacklock’s Reporter says in a briefing note, her office stated it is “inaccurate to claim” that the policy change is the cause of the 16.5% increase in overdose fatalities reported during the decriminalization period.
OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the median family after-tax income in 2022 fell compared with 2021, after adjusted for inflation, with young people being the hardest hit.
The agency says the median family after-tax income of Canadians was $60,800 in 2022, up 2.5 per cent from 2021.
But after adjusting for an annual rate of inflation of 6.8 per cent, the figure was down four per cent from the previous year.
Liberal-appointed Sen. Charles Adler in a radio broadcast once called Indigenous people uncivilized “boneheads” who should “get a job.”
Adler’s remarks on Radio CJOB Winnipeg were so vulgar they prompted a formal complaint by the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, records obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter show.
“Sugarcane” reviews are all over the press, all positive, and all are super spreaders of more deceptions about Indian Residential School history in Canada. National Geographic picked up this documentary for distribution after its win at the Sundance Film Festival. Carolyn Berstein, Executive Vice President of National Geographic Documentary Films said at the time: “National Geographic Documentary Films has a long track record of championing epic and important stories that awaken audiences and transcend their moment.”
According to a report in “Deadline” of Feb. 21, 2024, “Deadline understands that the Disney-owned factual brand has struck a deal in the low seven-figures.”
Let’s awaken National Geographic’s factual brand and its audiences with some behind-the-scenes facts.
