Taking a flight in Canada can be a puzzling experience these days, not to mention wildly frustrating. I refer, of course, as those who have flown, or tried to fly, recently know all too well, to the still-maintained mask and vaccination mandates at Canadian airports.
A healthcare law review submitted to the European Parliament in May took aim at the Canadian government for having some of the strictest Covid-19 restrictions in the world.
The report, Right to health, a comparative law perspective: Canada, published by the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS) and authored by McGill University law professor Dr Derek Jones, was a survey of the country’s legal system as it pertains to healthcare rights. The EU has published similar reports about other countries.
“Many stringent and invasive public health measures for the Covid pandemic – curfews, capacity-restrictions in restaurants, the closure of bars and nightclubs for months, locking of office buildings, stoppage and restrictions on international travel – have severely curtailed or arrested commercial trade in vital sections of Canada’s economy,” the report said.
A new survey suggests a growing number of Canadians are struggling with the rising cost of food as prices for basics like pasta, bread and meat all soar.
The poll from Food Banks Canada indicates hunger and food insecurity are increasing across the country, with lower-income Canadians hit hardest by inflation.
The survey conducted by Mainstreet Research found almost a quarter of Canadians reported eating less than they should because there wasn’t enough money for food – a figure that nearly doubled for those earning under $50,000 a year.
Former Reform Party leader Preston Manning says one of the reasons the Liberal government invoked the Emergencies Act to put an end to the convoy protests was because they realized a great portion of the support for the protests came from Quebec, the Liberals’ “home base.”
Gun stores in Canada have seen handguns fly off the shelves, with many selling out altogether after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced gun control legislation freezing all pistol purchases.
The Liberal party has been replaced by a troll farm. All governments to some extent curate their policies based on what would be politically beneficial and what would score points off the opposition. For Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, however, this has become pretty much all they are doing.
From gun control to abortion rights to vaccine mandates, no underlying purpose is being served, no policy goals are being truly met. The only aims are to rile up an increasingly hard-left base and to provoke the Conservatives into opposing these policies so that the Liberals can paint them as ogres.
I have long said Trudeau’s tweets are a propaganda exercise, deliberate falsehoods designed to humiliate as per Dalrymple’s explanation.
In Canada, the unvaccinated are banned from all commercial airliners, passengers and crew member alike. But pressure is mounting against Trudeau.
Trudeau’s American counterpart Joe Biden also has a “no logic” border policy, as border crossings from Canada to the US are restricted for the unvaxxed, even though Biden permits multitudes of illegals from Mexico to enter the US — a whopping half a million “during a 10-week period ending on May 15.” Also, refugees from Afghanistan and Ukraine are entering America, many of whom are unvaxxed. So why keep Canadians out, people who could benefit both the Canadian and American economies? Something is clearly amiss.
Gasoline prices continued to trend upward across much of Canada over the weekend and experts warn more increases are coming.
The Canadian Automobile Association says national average gas prices rose to nearly $2.06 on Sunday, up almost three cents from the day before and 11 cents higher compared with a week ago.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino isn’t ruling out the possibility of a national ban on handguns in Canada, saying the federal government is leaving “all options on the table.”
In an interview on CTV’s Question Period, Mendicino said Ottawa’s newly introduced gun-control bill is a “step in the right direction” to mitigate gun violence across the country but it won’t eliminate the problem all together.
“Bill C-21, while it is a significant stride and the most ambitious in a generation, by itself, will not eradicate gun violence. We have to invest in our police, we have to make sure that we are protecting our borders, we have to introduce smart gun policy and we also have to make sure that we are addressing gun crime at its root cause,” he said.
Does the federal government's new firearms legislation target legal gun owners?

The Trudeau government has written off $1.2 million in taxpayer assets due to rampant thefts and losses among federal agencies.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, an Inquiry Of Ministry shows that since Apr. 1, 2018, the government has recorded a total of $1,210,893 in lost or missing assets.
“It is not just the government that reminds me of the Islamic Republic. The current state of the legacy media, paid for by Justin Trudeau, is just as bad as anything I saw in Iran, arguably worse.”
“If I hadn’t seen the truth with my own eyes while on the ground here in Ottawa I would not be able to believe the level of lies and fake news being spread.”
The Liberals’ new gun control bill, C-21, doesn’t even need to be passed into law to achieve its desired ends. That’s because Liberal firearms policy is not about reducing crime, but firing up the party’s left-wing base and forcing Conservatives to take a stand against gun control. It’s preformative political theatre at its finest.
We’ve heard a lot about crassly opportunistic politicians exploiting low-info voters. I wonder how many of Canada’s urbanites would be surprised to realize that this time, that means them.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino spent much of the past week on the road, promoting his government’s new gun control bill to Canadians just as Canadians witnessed another wave of mass shootings south of the border.
But for all the attention being paid to proposed measures that would freeze handgun ownership in this country, ban the sale of long-gun magazines that hold more than five rounds and implement a mandatory buyback of assault-style weapons, there’s growing concern that the Canada-U.S. border is no barrier to gangs smuggling guns into this country.
It’s a bad law made by stupid people who should never have been elected. If you voted Liberal or NDP go fuck yourself.
It was just two years ago that Canada banned many semi-automatic rifles, while it also imposed new gun control laws that included expanded background checks.
As part of the latest efforts, Canada has implemented a national freeze on handguns, which is meant to prevent individuals from buying, selling, or transferring handguns within the country. As part of the new legislation, the Government of Canada will require that long-gun magazines be permanently altered so that they can never hold more than five rounds, while the sale and transfer of “large-capacity magazines” will be banned under the Criminal Code.
