Is the West’s Ukraine response about to fracture?

Presenting the rising cost of living as a necessary price to pay for Ukrainian freedom is a surefire recipe for trouble

Wars aren’t always decided on the battlefield. As bravely as Ukrainian soldiers defend their homeland from Russian invasion, their heroics won’t suffice without continuous military and financial support from the West. American and European leaders have so far stood firmly behind Ukraine. Public opinion, however, is starting to dwindle. The most important fight for Ukraine could ultimately take place in the homes, streets and squares across Europe.

How long will Canadians put up with Trudeau using the Ukraine conflict as cover to inflict his economically ruinous Green-Scam agenda on them?

Why is ArriveCan still mandatory, and what is Ottawa’s plan for the app?

OTTAWA – The glitch-prone app touted as an efficient border tool early in the pandemic has become a punching bag for critics who question its utility — but ArriveCan may be here to stay.

The government insists it’s a useful tool. Critics say it has outlived its use, if it ever had one.

Here’s a quick lowdown on what we currently know about it.

GUNTER: More stats showing Canada doesn’t have gun crime problem

I’m going to throw a lot of statistics at you in this column, but my purpose is simple: To show that Canada does not have a gun crime problem, at least not one that would warrant the kind of draconian gun controls the Trudeau government has brought in during the past two years, and is still bringing in.

Ottawa convoy intelligence report warned of ‘violent revenge’ after protest crackdown

Newly disclosed documents show federal intelligence officials warned decision-makers that the police dispersal of “Freedom Convoy” protesters in Ottawa last winter could prompt an “opportunistic attack” against a politician or symbol of government.

High-ranking Mountie insists Lucki pressed him about releasing gun details after N.S. shooting

The high-ranking Nova Scotia RCMP officer at the centre of a controversy over possible political interference by RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki following the 2020 mass shooting is doubling down on his allegations.

RCMP Chief Supt. Darren Campbell told a House of Commons committee Tuesday that he recalls Lucki saying during an April 28, 2020 call that she was “sad and disappointed” that Campbell had not released details about the gunman’s weapons at a news conference.

Campbell told MPs that the commissioner also said she had “promised” the offices of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and then-Public Safety minister Bill Blair that those details would be released.

Rainbow-Coloured Racism: Anti-Anglophone Politics In Trudeau’s Canada

It’s all the rage. The post-modern politics of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have given birth to a fresh social phenomenon: prejudice against Anglophones and Christians in Canada.

It’s application is subtle. So much so that white Canadians are never mentioned by name. For CAP, it’s a cowardly act. If government, media and our educational system are going to call out Canada for racism against so-called “minorities,” at least they could have the gumption to actually name the perpetrators.

Two letters emerged in recent months that allege then-public safety minister Bill Blair pushed RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki to demand Nova Scotia RCMP release details about the firearms used during the shooting spree, which took 22 people’s lives on April 18, 2020.

How did Pearson airport’s delays get so bad? Inside the patchwork system that failed to stop the crisis

They bore the brunt of the near shutdown of the aviation industry. Tens of thousands of pilots, flight attendants, security screeners and baggage handlers were suddenly out of work when passenger travel all but vanished during the early days of the pandemic. Many of them left the industry for good.

Tim Perry, a WestJet pilot and president of the Canadian arm of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), warned politicians 10 months into the pandemic that it would take several years for all those jobs to return without financial aid from Ottawa.

The solution to every problem in Canada is more socialism for corporate Canada.

Transport Canada Official Indicated Travel Vaccine Mandate Rationale Was Lacking Days Before Implementation: Internal Emails

A senior official at Transport Canada expressed doubts about the rationale for a vaccine mandate for transportation 13 days before it came into force, and had asked Health Canada for more data to justify the policy, internal emails reveal.

“To the extent that updated data exist or that there is clearer evidence of the safety benefit of vaccination on the users or other stakeholders of the transportation system, it would be helpful to assist Transport Canada [in] supporting its measures,” wrote Aaron McCrorie in an Oct. 18, 2021, email to Dawn Lumley-Myllari.

Convoy Leaders Potentially Willing to Leave if Gov’t Would ‘Register Their Message,’ Police Negotiator Said Before Emergencies Act: Document

Four days before the federal government announced it had invoked the Emergencies Act to clear convoy protests in February, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet were informed that the lead negotiator of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said the leaders of the protest could be potentially persuaded to leave in exchange for a commitment from the government to “register their message,” an internal government document shows.

Throughout the protest, Trudeau and his government refused to meet or send representatives to dialogue with the protesters.

Further: “no later than the end of October” a vaccine mandate for travellers would also be implemented.
