Terry Glavin: Dominic Barton’s main role in bringing the Michaels home was as a flight attendant

” … Both Democrats and Republicans are raising alarms about McKinsey’s lucrative and highly sensitive contracts with the Pentagon during the Barton years while the company simultaneously provided blue-chip services to shadowy Chinese state corporations, including the blacklisted China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), which has been building heavily-militarized artificial islands in the South China Sea. It was only a few months before Barton’s appointment that Ottawa blocked the CCCC from acquiring Aecon, one of Canada’s biggest construction companies, on national security grounds.

More Government Workers, Fewer Self-Employed: What That Means for Canada’s Economy

The percentage of self-employed Canadians is the lowest it’s been in almost 35 years, while public sector employment is at its highest percentage in nearly 30—and neither trend bodes well for the economy.

Just 2.6 million Canadians identified as self-employed in October, according to Statistics Canada. This is a 10.8 percent drop from the peak level of around 2.92 million in September 2019. Self-employed workers’ current share of 13.6 percent of total employment (19.16 million) has not been this low since July 1987.

It’s bad news for all of us. The Liberal party have “hired” our ruling class. A predatory bureaucracy that sucks your wealth for their personal gain and votes LPC who ensure their place at the trough. What could go wrong?

Dairy farmers pushed record-breaking price hike for milk even higher

A record-breaking price hike for milk announced by the Canadian Dairy Commission would have been lower if the country’s dairy farmers hadn’t intervened.

The commission announced in October it would be raising the price paid to farmers for milk next year by 8.4 per cent. Internal records obtained by Global News show the increase would have been less if the normal method for setting prices was used.

“The (commission’s) process ignores impacts on Canadian retailers, restaurants and families,” Michelle Wasylyshen, national spokesperson for the Retail Council of Canada, said.

Former Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull says Huawei 5G would leave Canada’s networks vulnerable to China

Former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, who banned China’s Huawei Technologies from providing equipment for his country’s 5G wireless networks, says Canadians should ask themselves a question as they ponder whether to do the same: are they comfortable with leaving a vital piece of infrastructure vulnerable to the Chinese government?

A decision on whether to formally ban Shenzhen-based Huawei from Canada’s 5G networks – and presumably from successor networks still in development, such as 6G – is expected soon from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.

Cost of living tops pandemic as key issue for Canadians ahead of Parliament’s return: Ipsos

As Parliament prepares to spring back into action on Monday, Canadians have one thing at the top of their mind: the rising cost of living.

That’s the latest from a new Ipsos poll, which found concerns about rising price tags on essentials like groceries and gas are now outranking issues like the COVID-19 pandemic, health care and housing as Canadians’ top concern.

WE Charity misled donors about building schools in Kenya, records show

Marc and Craig Kielburger’s WE Charity routinely misled school-aged children and wealthy philanthropists across North America for years as it solicited millions for schoolhouses in Kenya and other projects in its Adopt-A-Village program, an investigation by CBC’s The Fifth Estate has found.

Slick marketing videos, congratulatory social media posts and crowdfunding websites across the internet tell the story of two brothers on a mission to change the world, but under closer scrutiny those digital crumbs lead down a trail of contradictions and deception.

“I don’t know how they thought they could get away with it for so long,” said a former WE employee. CBC agreed to conceal their identity because they were concerned about legal reprisals from the charity for speaking out.

Canada has no choice but to bar Huawei from 5G mobile networks, security experts say

OTTAWA — As the Liberal government prepares to unfurl its policy on next-generation mobile networks, global security experts say all signs point to the exclusion of Chinese vendor Huawei Technologies from the long-awaited blueprint.

The development of 5G, or fifth-generation, networks will give people speedier online connections and provide vast data capacity to meet ravenous demand as more and more things link to the internet and innovations such as virtual reality, immersive gaming and autonomous vehicles emerge.

The opposition Conservatives have long pressed the Liberals to deny Huawei a role in building the country’s 5G infrastructure, saying it would allow Beijing to spy on Canadians more easily.

BONOKOSKI: Freeland’s vanity poll not what she was expecting

Before she delivered her budget, Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland was so interested in what voters might think that she spent $53,445 on a survey to poll 34 people — eight seniors, eight Quebecers, nine parents, and seven unemployed — on what their instant reactions would be.

Trudeau vows to support greed of China class – will continue to lick Xi’s arse

Disinformation, extremism threatening democracies, global economies: Trudeau

… “We cannot pretend that China isn’t there, just cross our arms and ignore it,” he said. “It is too important a player in our economies right now.”

Trudeau added that countries like Canada and the Netherlands have to engage China constructively on trade, on climate change, while challenging it on human rights, the situation in Hong Kong, the Uyghurs, Taiwan and the South China Sea.

Don’t worry slaves, Justin is thinking of you.

Rex Murphy: On climate change, the CBC has crossed the line from news agency to PMO mouthpiece

I’d like to start with an excerpt from a recent public document. It’s a bit longish but you need to catch the flavour of the thing. It has a magnificently “certain” tone, speaks of vast issues, asserts a Universalist impact, and has dread warnings for our country, Canada. Then I will offer a quiz.

Exit of top public health agency official leaves questions on Chinese military involvement with high-security disease lab

Iain Stewart played a central role in government efforts to block publication of documents regarding the firing of two scientists from a Winnipeg microbiology lab

OTTAWA — The recent departure of the head of the Public Health Agency of Canada could stymie opposition efforts to uncover details surrounding a high-security microbiology lab in Winnipeg, where two scientists were fired earlier this year for undisclosed reasons.

Why government employees may want to ask for a pay cut

SecondStreet.org recently asked governments across the country a simple question – when was the last time you cut pay for your employees?

The question followed many news stories in Canada about businesses struggling during the pandemic and having no choice but to cut employee pay – movie chain Cineplex, the Winnipeg Free Press, Chrysler, Canadian Football League teams, energy giant Cenovus and countless others.

Canadian politicians warn of political violence after U.K. MP is stabbed to death by Islamist terrorist

Shocked and saddened by the killing of a long-serving British MP on Friday, Canadian politicians say the threat of a similar incident in Canada appears to be growing.

David Amess, 69, was fatally stabbed around noon on Friday while meeting with constituents in Leigh-on-Sea, a town about 62 kilometres east of London.

The Conservative lawmaker had been a member of Parliament for 38 years.

“The MP who was murdered was doing something that we all do as members of Parliament,” said Lisa Raitt, a former Conservative MP and cabinet minister.

Except they don’t mention the Stabby Islamist Terrorist part for some reason, the “far right” pebble pelters get mention though.

Terry Glavin: Canada needs a new ambassador to China — Dominic Barton must go

You could say that four days is not exactly a decent interval between Beijing’s release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor and Canada’s ambassador to China returning to his habit of loudly pimping for profits from greasy state-backed enterprises in Xi Jinping’s People’s Republic.

Canada’s China Class and the Liberal Party – there really is no difference.

Trudeau’s scandalous collaboration with Communist China’s slave regime delayed made-in-Canada COVID-19 vaccine plans

Failed deal with China delayed made-in-Canada COVID-19 vaccine plans

The federal government’s failed collaboration with a vaccine manufacturing company in China early in the pandemic has led to a delay of nearly two years in efforts to create a made-in-Canada COVID-19 vaccine.

Government documents obtained by The Fifth Estate show that Canadian officials wasted months waiting for a proposed vaccine to arrive from China for further testing and spent millions upgrading a production facility that never made a single dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) signed an agreement with Tianjin-based CanSino Biologics in early May 2020 to “fast-track the availability of a COVID-19 vaccine in Canada for emergency pandemic use.”
