Liberal Party Disinformation: “Did Chrystia Freeland pose with extremist symbols or is it Russian disinformation?”

Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland is being assailed with online accusations that she posed with far-right symbols at a pro-Ukraine rally in Toronto. But the symbol may not be as far-right as critics claim, and Freeland’s office is saying the whole thing reeks of Russian-sponsored “disinformation.”

Putinesque! Police grappling with members who allegedly donated to ‘Freedom Convoy’

CBC News has matched at least two dozen current and former members of the Ottawa Police Service and Ontario Provincial Police with a publicly leaked list of names identified as apparent donors to GiveSendGo, a crowdfunding site used to support the weeks-long occupation in Ottawa.

The OPP said it has launched an investigation into alleged officer donations to the convoy, but won’t divulge how many members are involved. Ottawa police (OPS) wouldn’t confirm whether they are investigating the matter.

It’s unclear what legal or disciplinary consequences — if any — police officers could face for donating money to the so-called Freedom Convoy that paralyzed downtown Ottawa for much of February.

Over $154M tied to detained Chinese-Canadian oligarch invested in GTA real estate

A drab, bluish-green glass office tower just north of Toronto, 50 Minthorn Blvd. is unassuming save for a “Bank of China” sign that sits atop the eight-storey building.

But inside, on the first and second floors, is the footprint of companies tied to one of China’s most high-flying oligarchs, Xiao Jianhua. Beijing security agents whisked the Chinese-Canadian billionaire from the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong in a wheelchair five years ago. He hasn’t been heard from since.

Emergency Powers Just Swell For Undermining Lawful Democratic Protest Says Lucki of the RCMP

Mounties used emergency powers as a ‘big deterrent,’ says head of RCMP

“We don’t have anything in laws that prevent people from coming to protests and we can’t turn them away. So for us, operationally, it was all about reducing that footprint in Ottawa and the only way to do that was to stop people from coming in or incentivizing them to leave,” Lucki told MPs on the public safety and national security committee looking into the federal government’s response to the protests.

“We used it as a big deterrent for people to come into the area. So, yes, in fact, we did use the measures that were put in the Emergencies Act, along with other authorities that we had.”

TERRAZZANO: Politicians, bureaucrats shielded from pain they cause

There are now 305,200 more government jobs across Canada than there were pre-pandemic

Politicians and government decision-makers are financially divorced from the Canadians they’re supposed to represent — and it shows.

… Federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland claims Canada has “more than recovered lost jobs” during the pandemic. But whose jobs have been recovered?

There are now 305,200 more government jobs across Canada than there were pre-pandemic, but 272,800 fewer jobs outside of government.

Then there’s the three-decades-high inflation.

This is why Ottawa was freaked out by the Truckers. Our predator class public servants came face to face with the peons they rob and it scared them.

Christian Leuprecht: Canada enables Russia by opposing pipelines and protecting money launderers

My grandfather had a stern warning: Never trust the Russians. In that regard, Putin has long proven himself as reliable as he is predictable.

Having spent months painting himself into a corner, Putin left himself with no option but to run roughshod over the most basic principles of the post-Second World War international rules-based order: respect for territorial integrity and political sovereignty without recourse to violent inter-state coercion to redraw boundaries. The aim of these principles has been to avoid a repeat of the human, political, economic and military calamity of the new Thirty Years’ War, 1914-1945.

GOLDSTEIN: Federal intelligence expert says Freedom Convoy donors no threat … Sophie off hook

A senior official with the federal government’s intelligence unit responsible for preventing the financing of terrorist and money-laundering activities says the typical person who donated money to the Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa posed no security threat to Canada.

… This to the point where people are still being doxed and “exposed” in the media as donors to the Freedom Convoy, for doing nothing illegal, using stolen data that is so inaccurate it lists Trudeau and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau as donors.

Time to scrap entitlements for former G-Gs

Julie Payette must feel like she won the lottery.

Despite resigning in shame from her posting as governor general amidst allegations of creating a toxic workplace, she is still entitled to the Cadillac of all retirement packages, courtesy of all of us, taxpayers.

Our political class robs us blind because we let them. That’s why they were scared shitless when the Truckers descended on Ottawa.

Joy, gratitude, and hope for the sleeping Canadian giant

“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve,” says the character of the Japanese admiral Isoroku about Pearl Harbor in the WWII film Tora! Tora! Tora! The Japanese may have successfully attacked the U.S., but that was a battle, not the war, and that day was the beginning of the end for the Japanese race to global power.

There is a parallel situation unfolding with the Canadian government and the truckers. To be clear, I’m not saying there’s going to be a war, insurrection, or violence, but I am saying that the response of the Canadian government to the peaceful protests against the COVID-19 vaccine mandate will ultimately be its undoing and absent complete voter suppression and fraud, the current tyrannical regime won’t last.

No, Canada: A Freeze Too Far?

The Trudeau government has exposed thousands of Canadians to prospective financial ruin and gross violations of privacy.

Canadians often gripe that the rest of the world pays little attention to our country. These days, most of us are wishing that we were making international news a lot less.

Our newfound global notoriety is a result of the Freedom Convoy, a protest movement that sprang up in late January, when fleets of trucks converged on the nation’s capital, Ottawa, to call for the end to vaccine mandates. There they remained, dug into the city’s core, for over three weeks before police began to remove them.

Terence Corcoran: In Canada, follow the money + the ideas

“… Schwab and the WEF had help in setting up their Canadian infiltration mission, including from Trudeau’s former chief of staff, Gerald Butts, a participant in the WEF’s Davos conferences and a leading backroom organizer of the Trudeau government’s ideological gambits. When it comes to subversive plans to overthrow the free-world economy, few are larger in scope than the WEF’s global scheme to remake the world and install a new form of “capitalism” based on the recruitment of corporate leaders into the role of government.

The WEF infiltration of Ottawa has never been a secret, nor has Butts’ involvement. But it is far from being common knowledge among voters that the ideological model behind the Liberal policy machine, the steering mechanism that guides decisions and policies, is subversive and authoritarian. It also covers a massive policy territory, from climate to COVID-19.

Ottawa Mayor Can Sell Protest Trucks Using Emergencies Act; Freeland Affirms Cities Have Certain Powers

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson had told the CBC on Feb. 19 that his city has the power to sell the vehicles due to the Emergencies Act invoked by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Feb. 14.

“We actually have the ability to confiscate those vehicles and sell them,” he said, adding that “I want to see them sold. I don’t want the return to these people who’ve been causing such frustration and angst in our community.”

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau doubles down on taking away our rights

Where is the imminent, national security threat to Canada that merits the continued application of the Emergencies Act, approved Monday night by the Trudeau government with the “reluctant” support of NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, while the Conservatives and Bloc Quebecois were opposed?

The extraordinary powers the act gives the government since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked it last Monday, will now be in effect for up to 30 days until mid-March, when it will expire, unless Parliament further extends it.

The Neoliberal War on Dissent in the West

Those who most flamboyantly proclaim that they are fighting fascists continue to embrace and wield the defining weapons of despotism.

When it comes to distant and adversarial countries, we are taught to recognize tyranny through the use of telltale tactics of repression. Dissent from orthodoxies is censored. Protests against the state are outlawed. Dissenters are harshly punished with no due process. Long prison terms are doled out for political transgressions rather than crimes of violence. Journalists are treated as criminals and spies. Opposition to the policies of political leaders are recast as crimes against the state.

Threats to press during convoy protests a wake-up call, experts say

In a video from Ottawa, a broadcaster stares at the camera in silence as protesters surround him and scream expletives, calling him a liar and bellowing “freedom.”

Near the U.S. border in Surrey, B.C., a cameraman’s equipment is shoved off his shoulder and two men spit on him. A demonstrator follows another journalist closely, yelling that he is a “disgusting, filthy human being,” while police escort the reporter through a jeering crowd.

Experts and advocates say the treatment of journalists, captured in many cases on video, during recent protests against public health measures should be a wake-up call.

Threats of violence and general feelings of ill-will toward the media? I wonder why?

“We would of course line up all kinds of people to write op-eds saying that what she was doing is proper” Katie Telford

Canada’s government paid media is the mouthpiece of the Trudeau regime.

Their job is to support the ruling permanent political class by providing propaganda on demand like trained seals.
