Terry Glavin: Better vetting won’t stop the Trudeau clown show

It was the “optics” of the thing.

That’s what it’s always been about with Justin Trudeau’s government: The fancy-socks neoliberalism, the matinee-idol magazine covers, the Pride parades, the ill-advised Bollywood haberdashery. It’s always about optics.

But if you live by optics you just might perish by them, and what we’re beholding now is the “world stage” reputation of Trudeau’s Canada suddenly engulfed in a hurricane of mortifying, barely-believable global headlines. Like this one: Canadian parliament accidentally honours Nazi.

Immigration drives massive Canadian population increase: StatCan

OTTAWA – Statistics Canada says immigration is almost solely responsible for the largest annual population boom Canada has seen since 1957.

The newly released data shows Canada’s population grew by more than a million people between from July 2022 to July 2023, which represents an increase of about three per cent.

Canada also saw a massive 46 per cent increase in the number of temporary residents in Canada over the same period.

The Liberal party are vicious animals.

The Trudeau Problem in Canada

It’s been a tough few days for the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. Nothing, it seems, is going right for him. His domestic popularity has been on a downward spiral for some time and is unlikely to rebound any time soon, if the present trends are anything to go by. His main rival, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, is gaining ground with recent polls suggesting he has the backing of 40 per cent of Canadians who see him as the best choice to be prime minister, a 5 percent increase from 2022, even as Trudeau’s popularity remains unchanged at 31 percent.

It’s good to see the foreign press taking a proper view of the Cokehead in Ottawa.

Trudeau Apologizes For Nazi Adjacent Liberal Party’s Waffen SS Affinity

Trudeau apologizes after a Ukrainian Nazi veteran was celebrated at Zelenskyy speech

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has apologized on behalf of Canada after a veteran of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi forces was included in a parliamentary event last week honouring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“All of us who were in this House on Friday regret deeply having stood and clapped even though we did so unaware of the context,” Trudeau said in a brief statement to reporters.

“It was a horrendous violation of the memory of the millions of people who died in the Holocaust,” he said, saying the celebration of ex-soldier Yaroslav Hunka was “deeply, deeply painful” to Jewish people, Poles, Roma, the LGBT community and other racialized people in particular — some of the groups that were targeted by the Nazi regime in the Second World War.

Canada isn’t guilty of anything. Trudeau and his Nazi party loving pals are guilty.

It may now be game over for Justin Trudeau

The Canadian Prime Minister has met his match in refreshing Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre

The latest polls in Canada have the country’s Conservative Party in a very comfortable position. If an election were held now, it’s predicted that the Tories would take 179 seats, against the governing Liberals with 103, and the socialist New Democratic Party 21. The Greens and Quebec separatists would split the rest. There are 338 MP in Ottawa’s House of Commons, so even with the country being as regional as it is, that Conservative victory would be sufficient for a working government.

OMG! Michael Coren must be changing faiths again!

Why Did Trudeau Dawdle on Chinese Election Meddling?

After months of resisting the idea, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced a major public inquiry tasked with investigating how China has meddled in Canadian politics.

The reversal, amid miserable domestic polling numbers and intense pressure from the opposition parties and media, comes after more than a year of revelations about Beijing’s efforts to interfere in Canada—largely to the advantage of Trudeau’s Liberal Party.

Is the idea of Khalistan, a Sikh homeland, still alive?

India and Canada have engaged in tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions as part of an intensifying row over the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh separatist, on Canadian soil.

The 45-year-old came to Canada as a refugee decades ago and had since became a Canadian citizen. He was an ardent advocate of establishing a sovereign state of Khalistan, a Sikh homeland in India’s Punjab region.

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claims that Indian agents were involved in the murder of Nijjar. India dismissed the allegations as “absurd.” However, Indian officials view Nijjar as a terrorist, a member of the banned Khalistan Commando Force, whom India links to targeted killings of various political and religious figures.

It is in Canada thanks to Justin and Jagmeet.

Politico repackages the Waffen-SS veteran honored by Zelensky and Trudeau with a more palatable label: ‘Nazi-linked’

If you’re Yaroslav Hunka, you can have fought for a division implicated in war crimes and commanded by literal Nazis, but the marketing team at the leftwing outlet Politico will repackage and sell you as a “veteran accused” and “Nazi-linked,” and you can safely assume that the publication’s dimwitted audience won’t suspect a thing. Media using its position to push out propaganda sympathetic to the regime? Joseph Goebbels, another “Nazi-linked” individual would be beaming with pride!

Carson Jerema: Rota resigns so Trudeau can pretend Nazi scandal isn’t his problem

Pro-Khalistan, anti-India rally attracts protesters and police in downtown Vancouver

Ottawa Protest.

About 75 people rallied outside the Consul General of India in downtown Vancouver Monday to protest the reported involvement of the Indian government in killing Canadian citizen and Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Nijjar was a leader in the fight for the creation of a Sikh state in India called Khalistan. He was gunned down three months ago outside of Surrey’s Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, where he was president. The 45-year-old was proclaimed a terrorist by India in 2020.
