‘Freedom Convoy’ did not pose threat to the security of Canada: CSIS director … Trudeau advisor “protesters were “dug in” and “there’s no doubt [they] came to overthrow the government.”

They made Justin cry.

New documents released by the public inquiry investigating the government’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act show the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service felt the “Freedom Convoy” did not pose a threat to the security of Canada.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act on Feb. 14, arguing its temporary and extraordinary powers were needed to end blockades in Ottawa and at border crossings.

… In its penultimate week, the commission will also hear from Jody Thomas, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national security intelligence adviser, who has publicly defended the decision to use the act.

She told a March 10 security and defence conference that protesters were “dug in” and “there’s no doubt [they] came to overthrow the government.”

‘We’re in a crisis situation’: Toronto food bank use soars amid rising inflation

Rising inflation and spiralling food prices are forcing more people than ever to rely on food banks to feed themselves and their families.

Toronto food banks received a record-breaking 1.68 million visits from April 2021 to March this year, according to a new report from the Daily Bread Food Bank. That’s up 16 per cent from the previous record of 1.45 million visits in the previous year.

Question of government’s China strategy looms as attention turns to G20 meetings

Trudeau says international authorities will make determination of Uyghur genocide

Canada is facing a key test of its China strategy, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to come face to face with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the upcoming G20 meetings in Indonesia.

Questions about Canada’s stance on Beijing — which are expected to be articulated more clearly in an upcoming release of an Indo-Pacific strategy document — followed Trudeau as he began a tour of Southeast Asia, including several days at a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Cambodia.

The opposition has also criticized the prime minister over reports that China sought to sway the 2019 federal election.

Canada faces ‘peril’ without action on alleged Chinese interference, experts warn

Any strong words Trudeau may mouth about China are to be taken with a very large grain of salt.

The “peril” Canada faces if it chooses not to act on allegations of Chinese foreign interference is “significant,” experts on China are warning.

The comment comes after Global News reported on Monday that Canadian intelligence officials warned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that China has allegedly been targeting Canada with a vast campaign of foreign interference, which included funding a clandestine network of at least 11 federal candidates running in the 2019 election.

Canada’s China class tells Justin what to do, not the other way around.

Sycophants At CBC Laud Trudeau’s Latest Waste Of Money As If It’s Coming Out Of His Own Pocket & Not Taxpayers

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled a slew of funding announcements in Cambodia on Saturday aimed at deepening economic and academic ties with Southeast Asia, after decades of sporadic engagement with the region.

“This is a generational shift,” Trudeau told leaders gathered in Phnom Penh for a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

“I am announcing concrete investments that are part of our commitment to this relationship,” he said, before listing $333 million in new funding.

What an awful state of affairs, we are held hostage by a despised man-child and his equally hated errand boy.

Amazon, Canada’s largest user of low wage foreign labour, employs new ‘Sparrow’ robot to take warehouse worker jobs

Amazon’s new ‘Sparrow’ robot threatens to take warehouse worker jobs

Amazon unveiled its new ‘Sparrow’ sorting robot that could soon replace some human workers in its warehouses.

The robot is designed to identify and sort specific products along Amazon’s fulfillment line, a task that previously could only be done by humans.

“Sparrow is the first robotic system in our warehouses that can detect, select, and handle individual products in our inventory,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement alongside the product’s debut during Amazon’s Delivering The Future conference near Boston on Thursday.


Canada Has Become A Hotbed For Low-Wage Foreign Labour Under Trudeau … Amazon Biggest User

… But since Mr. Trudeau’s Liberals have come to power, the country has doubled down on its use of foreign labour. At the end of 2021, more than 775,000 people from abroad had temporary work permits, an increase of 92 per cent from 2015, and 600 per cent from 2000.

Behind-the-scenes moments are being revealed at the Emergencies Act inquiry. Will they add up to a story Canadians can support?

… So how much closer are Canadians to an answer to the big question: was the federal government justified in invoking the Emergencies Act for the first time?

The answer is, they’re not close to an answer. Or maybe not yet.

We should know which politicians got China’s money

Can we take a break from lecturing Americans about the state of their democracy and focus for a bit on problems with our own?

Canadians love to watch from a safe distance when all the horrors and glories of the American political system are on display, as they are this week as we comb through the results of their midterm elections.

We especially love to pat ourselves on the back for the fact that our system is, for the most part, mercifully free of the most extreme elements of U.S. politics. That’s mostly just good for our national self-regard, but it would be a shame if it distracts us from the disturbing possibility that a foreign power has been actively interfering in our own recent national elections, even changing the outcome in at least one case.

From the Star no less.

Bank of Canada signals more rate hikes to come

‘We will come out of this,’ Tiff Macklem pledges as central bank signals more rate hikes to come

In much the same way that Canadian households were forced to adjust on the fly to high and escalating prices, Canada’s job market and overall economy will see some painful changes in the coming months as Canada’s central bank steps up its fight to wrestle inflation into submission.

That was one of the main takeaways of a wide-ranging interview with Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem on Thursday, one in which the central banker said he understands the pain that Canadians are feeling about their finances right now. But he is more resolved than ever that the bank’s actions to establish price stability will be worth it in the long run.

John Robson: Beijing’s Influencers Are Hidden in Plain Sight and We Do Nothing

Even now he thinks they’re “games.” After all the warnings about the Chinese Communist Party’s sinister intentions and methods, our prime minister told a news conference: “Unfortunately we’re seeing that countries, state actors from around the world, whether it’s China or others, are continuing to play aggressive games with our institutions, with our democracies.” If these manoeuvres are “games,” the state actors are playing for keeps. We don’t seem to be.

What’s it going to take for the Liberals to crack down on Chinese subterfuge?

God only knows what it’s going to take.

Twelve years ago, the warning came from Richard Fadden, then the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. At least two provincial cabinet ministers and several municipal politicians were more or less puppets of the People’s Republic of China, he said, initially avoiding mentioning China by name, for the sake of discretion. “I’m making this comment because I think it’s a real danger that people be totally oblivious to this kind of issue,” Fadden said at the time.


Unless a very damaging leak emerges nothing will be done.

Canada’s China Class exemplified by sleazebags such as Dominic Barton, currently involved with turning what’s left of Canada into a 3rd world shithole via mass immigration, hold sway with our political class.

Canada has been sold out by our elites.

Rupa Subramanya: Liberals open the immigration floodgates, but will Canada and the newcomers benefit?

The boost to the economy that Immigration Minister Sean Fraser hopes will result from an influx of new immigrants is unlikely to materialize until quite a few years after they arrive, if that

On Nov. 1, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser revealed that Canada would begin admitting a record 500,000 new immigrants a year starting in 2025. It’s a bold plan, but it seems to have been done without giving much thought about how the new immigrants will fare once they get here, and whether high levels of immigration will benefit the Canadian economy, especially if we’re heading into a recession.
