Liberal Party adds funding to CBC propaganda broadcaster: Tax payers now on hook for $1.4B budget

Ottawa adds funding to CBC; broadcaster will get $1.4B budget

OTTAWA – Canada’s public broadcaster is getting an increase in funding, despite executives insisting that a request to cut CBC/Radio-Canada’s budget for the next fiscal year was one reason they announced layoffs for 10 per cent of staff.

Documents Canadian Heritage released on Thursday show CBC will get a $1.4-billion budget in 2024-25, an increase from the $1.3 billion it spent in the previous fiscal year.

It’s about a $90-million increase, documents say.

U.K. airline employee allegedly helped Indians enter Canada illegally to claim asylum

A former British Airways employee has allegedly fled to India after being arrested for allegedly helping Indian citizens get around immigration laws so they could claim asylum in Canada.

As initially reported in The Times of London on Tuesday, the employee who worked at Heathrow airport in London, U.K., is said to have enabled people without proper documentation to get on flights to Canada so that they could claim asylum upon entering the country. He allegedly charged £25,000 per person or about $43,000. The alleged scam is estimated to have made 3 million pounds or over $5.1 million.

Bradley Texts Expose Fani Falsehoods – and Media Manipulation

How did Ashleigh Merchant find evidence of Fani Willis’ personal involvement with Nathan Wade and the conflict of interest and personal benefit it created for her? For the last few weeks, most assumed that it mainly came from Joycelyn Wade, the soon-to-be ex-wife of the RICO special prosecutor in the Georgia v Donald Trump et al case — and some of it did, especially the travel receipts that emerged to force the two to admit to their involvement.

Is the ‘market value of becoming Canadian’ dropping? Fewer immigrants are becoming citizens

Canada is taking in more immigrants than it ever has. But new data suggests that fewer and fewer of them are becoming citizens.

The proportion of eligible permanent residents acquiring citizenship has dropped significantly, especially during the last census period. A study released by Statistics Canada on Wednesday shows the proportion of permanent residents who acquired Canadian citizenship after they met the residency requirement has decreased from 75 per cent in 1996 to just 46 per cent in 2021.

While the rate of newcomers acquiring citizenship has declined consistently during the past six censuses, the drop was steep in the latest national survey, particularly among recent immigrants with lower levels of education, lower family income and lower language skills.

Another Trudeau legacy – Migrants with ZERO loyalty or concern for Canada.

Ottawa unveils national pharmacare plan that covers diabetes, contraception to start

Health Minister Mark Holland released the long-awaited details of the federal government’s pharmacare plan on Thursday, with a commitment to cover some diabetes treatments and contraception.

If this bill, C-64, passes Parliament, Holland will begin negotiating with the provinces and territories on a funding commitment that would cover the cost of providing these medications to people for free.

This is the first step in what could be a much more robust regime in the years ahead, although its future is uncertain, with some provinces already demanding the chance to opt out of the federal program or rebuffing Ottawa’s efforts entirely.

Thank goodness the Transvestites will have access to birth control!
