CBC creates faux outrage at inability to Doxx anonymous donors to Freedom Convoy – Speculates Russia’s dark hand at work

Critics call for new rules for online fundraisers after protest convoy takes anonymous donations

Critics are calling on the federal government to introduce new rules for online fundraising campaigns after a fundraiser for this weekend’s protest in Ottawa against vaccine mandates raised millions of dollars — in part from anonymous donors and people using fictitious names.

Green Party parliamentary leader Elizabeth May said the GoFundMe fundraiser for the protest convoy raises concerns about whether such campaigns could be used by big businesses or foreign state actors to circumvent Canada’s political financing rules.

“If this isn’t worrying, it certainly exposes a possibility that is very worrying, which is that you can be not a political organization, not registered with Elections Canada but find the right kind of dog whistle and put up a GoFundMe campaign,” she said.

Elizabeth May? A Yankee who along with US NGO funding has worked for decades to undermine Canada’s Oil & Gas industry is worried about “foreign interference”. The gall.

Canadian Patriots Rise Up Against Mandate Tyranny – Spread the Word

I have never been more proud of my Canadian roots than during the last few days as I have tracked the “Anti-Vaccine-Mandate” trucker convoy making its way across Canada to its final destination of the national capital of Ottawa to scream out as one against the dictatorial edicts of the entrenched-establishment elites who “lead” the country.

Douglas Todd: Trudeau’s housing promises still not materializing

It’s easy to lose track of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s broken promises on the housing crisis.

But it’s imperative to monitor how little he has done to rein in prices that have soared by 85 per cent since his Liberal government was first elected in 2015.

Few things reveal Trudeau’s unwillingness to seriously follow through on his housing rhetoric than his approach to foreign buyers, who most analysts agree have been one of the significant factors jacking up prices.

Police prepare for possible violence as fringe groups latch on to truckers convoy

Ottawa police Chief Peter Sloly told a police services board meeting Wednesday that officers had been in been in contact with protest leaders who he said have been co-operative and shared their plans.

But Deputy Chief Steve Bell voiced concern about “parallel groups” that intelligence suggests will also turn up to the protest. The police are trying to reach these groups – as well as counter-protesters – to discuss their aims.

Trudeau’s dithering on Ukraine should fool no one

‘… An enlightened foreign policy might have recognized long ago the benefits of reducing European dependence on Russian energy by promoting Canadian liquid natural gas exports to the continent, to prevent Mr. Putin from holding Europe hostage as he does now. But the Liberals refused to look beyond their own domestic political interests to Canada’s national interests.

What we are left with is a passive-aggressive mess that fools no one and only ensures yet more eye-rolling when Canada’s name comes up in international forums. None of our allies is looking to Canada for “help” on the Ukraine crisis; they know perfectly well they will not get it.’

BONOKOSKI: Gerry Butts opens the Twitter spoilers on truckers’ rally

Gerry Butts, like the Head & Shoulders guy in the television commercials, seems to be “never not working.”

The best friend and former principal secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (tossed out during the SNC-Lavalin tussle with Jody Wilson-Raybould), couldn’t stay out of the truckers’ protest, so he took a run at Medicine Hat’s Tamara Lich in an attempt to cast doubt on the integrity of Convoy For Freedom 2022.

Trudeau Liberals decision not to review lithium company takeover by Communist China a ‘mistake’: expert

OTTAWA — An intelligence expert said the federal government’s decision not to conduct a formal national security review on the takeover of a Canadian lithium mining company by a Chinese state-owned company was a “mistake.”

The government misjudged the takeover’s significance to Canada’s economic and national security both in the present and future, said Wesley Wark, a visiting professor at the University of Ottawa who specializes in international affairs and intelligence gathering.

“The kinds of explanations that have been offered by the government to date I find wholly unsatisfactory and very narrowly focused,” he told a House of Commons committee Wednesday.

Trudeau Liberals used crappy deal with Communist China Lab to justify even crappier Covid Vaxx deal

CanSino-McMaster deal may turn out to be ‘case study of what not to do in partnerships with China’: expert

The federal government has trumpeted previous vaccine partnerships with a China-based company as one of the reasons why Canada was pinning its hopes on a COVID-19 vaccine candidate from China early in the pandemic.

But The Fifth Estate has reviewed those partnerships and found that a collaboration with McMaster University in Hamilton stalled years ago and never resulted in an approved vaccine anywhere in the world.

… After the deal fell apart, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters that the reason Canada partnered with CanSino was because of the “well-established partnership” between scientists in Canada and China “that has been effective in the past.”

Truckers’ convoy isn’t about vaccines – it’s about freedom

Millions of dollars in donations. Thousands of big rigs. Countless supporters lining highways and overpasses. The trucker convoy hasn’t even made it to Ottawa yet and it’s already making an impact, advocating against Justin Trudeau’s vaccine mandate for truckers. True North’s Andrew Lawton says the convoy is doing more to stand up to mandates than any of the opposition parties represented in Parliament have.
