LA Times Says Blame Orange Man! Housing crisis, economic woes and Trump – How Canada turned against immigrants

 Canada long sold itself as a beacon for immigrants, who were widely viewed as key to economic growth in a vast nation with a small and rapidly aging workforce.

“Study, work and stay” was the slogan of a government campaign to lure international students, part of a broader push that included recruiting temporary workers and resettling refugees. After President Trump banned travel to the U.S. from several Muslim-majority countries in 2017, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Canada’s doors were open.

“To those fleeing persecution, terror and war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith,” he wrote on the platform now known as X. “Diversity is our strength.”

But in recent months, Canada has changed course.

Don’t harsh my mellow man!

Biden Picked His Cabinet Based on DEI. How Did That Work Out for Him? Not well.

Four years ago, when then–President-elect Joe Biden was selecting members of his Cabinet, one concern dominated: diversity.

The pressure to choose candidates for top offices who were either women or from minority races was immense. Politico reported in November 2020 that Democrats “expect[ed] him to nominate the most diverse Cabinet in history.” Luckily for DEI-obsessed Democrats, Biden was happy to comply. After all, the president had promised to create a government that “looks like America.” In the end, the president’s administration was judged by numerous media outlets to be “the most diverse ever.” CNN totaled in January 2021 that 50 percent of Biden’s nominees for Cabinet positions and Cabinet-level positions were “people of color.” Biden had also named the most-ever women as Cabinet secretaries.

Revealed: The Hidden Pfizer Report That Shows Heart Conditions in the Vaccinated Getting Worse Over Time

I told you here about Pfizer’s abstract of its Interim Report 5, showing at least 23-40% higher risk of some heart-related conditions in the vaccinated, but that the MHRA, the U.K. medicines regulator, was withholding publication of the full report. As I said at the time : “In summary, if, as I suspect, MHRA is worried by the results in Pfizer’s ‘Interim Report 5’ then no wonder it is sitting on it.”

Michael Taube: Trudeau’s ‘feminist’ criticism of American voters is delusional

It’s official: Justin Trudeau has finally given up on being the prime minister of Canada.

There have been plenty of previous warning signs. During the NAFTA renegotiations, for instance, Trudeau pressed the United States and Mexico to include progressive concepts like gender rights and Indigenous rights, which have nothing to do with free trade.

Biden Takes Credit for Syria Regime Change He Tried to Prevent

There are lots of mostly bad things that President Joe Biden can justly take credit for, but the fall of Syria is not one of them. The only real reason this happened is because Israel threw off the shackles and decided to go after Hezbollah after a year of terror. And Biden did everything to prevent that.

At the very end, he used an arms embargo to force Israel into a fake “ceasefire” with Hezbollah. But by then Israel had done enough damage to Hezbollah that Turkey’s Jihadists were able to just roll into Syria, and Iran decided to sell them out and pull back.

But now Biden is trying to take credit.

Tensions were apparent in the Liberal caucus Wednesday after a committee chaired by Liberal MP Lena Metlege Diab released a report endorsing the disputed concept of anti-Palestinian racism.

A Third TD Bank Employee Is Charged in Money Laundering Case

The Justice Department has charged a third TD Bank employee for his alleged role in a money-laundering scheme that led to over $3 billion in fines against the bank and prompted calls for greater accountability against TD executives.

Leonardo Ayala, a 24-year-old former TD employee who worked at a branch in Doral, Fla., was arrested on Tuesday and charged with facilitating money laundering to Colombia, prosecutors said. The charges against Ayala were unveiled Wednesday.

No one at TD Canada suffers much, they just raise fees to cover fines.

DELOREY: Trudeau said he needed new mandate to fight COVID — why not Trump’s tariff threat?

In the summer of 2021, Justin Trudeau argued that he needed a new mandate to lead Canadians through the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was a curious move — calling an election in the middle of a public health crisis, with lockdowns still in place, masks mandatory, and uncertainty gripping the nation.

Yet his justification was clear: leading through an extraordinary challenge required fresh validation from the people.

Beijing’s 2021 Election Report Highlights Sikh Leaders’ Voter Pressure on Trudeau, Sets Blueprint for Chinese Diaspora Influence

OTTAWA, Canada — A sensitive analysis from a key arm of the People’s Republic of China’s overseas influence operations, published just weeks after Canada’s 2021 federal election, reveals Beijing’s strategic interest in the comparative success of Chinese and Indian immigrant communities in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 votes, particularly the extraordinary influence wielded by Sikh leaders, who reportedly pressured Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government to amend an extremist threat report linked to the 1985 Air India bombing by warning that failure to comply would cost the Liberal Party financial backing and access to Sikh voters.
