U.S. wants Canada to hit military spending target ‘as rapidly as humanly possible’: Biden’s adviser

Canada and other countries that are laggards when it comes to military spending should hit the NATO-imposed target of spending two per cent of GDP “as rapidly as humanly possible,” U.S. President Joe Biden’s national security adviser told reporters on the sidelines of the Liberal cabinet retreat in Halifax on Sunday.

Asked by CBC News if he’s satisfied with Canada’s recently announced plan to hit that spending target in eight years’ time, Jake Sullivan said the Biden administration has pushed NATO countries to meet the spending threshold, and while some have complied, “there is still a set of countries that hasn’t — Canada is one of them.”

Liberals say they will rein in temporary foreign worker program now that their Great Replacement Scam has done its intended damage of altering Canada’s demographic

Housing Minister Sean Fraser said Sunday that the federal government will curb the number of temporary foreign workers (TFWs) coming into the country after a post-COVID surge that some researchers say has driven up youth and immigrant unemployment rates.

Speaking to reporters in Dartmouth, N.S., before the start of a Liberal cabinet retreat in neighbouring Halifax, Fraser justified the government’s past decision — made while he was immigration minister — to relax regulations around the TFW program as necessary at a time of pandemic-related staff shortages.

But he acknowledged that the dynamic is different now that there are signs of stress in the labour market.

Historic Influx? It was a Great Replacement scam to secure future votes and destroy the value of labour. Fraser is a despicable liar.

Canada to Hit China With 100% Tariffs on Electric Vehicles, 25% on Steel

Canada will impose new tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, aluminum and steel, lining up behind western allies and taking steps to protect domestic manufacturers.

The government plans to announce a 100% levy on electric cars and 25% on steel and aluminum, according to people familiar with the matter, speaking on condition they not be identified because the matter is still private. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to unveil the policy in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he’s gathered with the rest of his cabinet for a series of meetings about the economy and foreign relations.

Burning of Holy Qur’an shows Israel’s war against Islam: CAIR

Nihad Awad, the executive director of CAIR said in a statement on this organization’s website that the blasphemous acts and filming themselves while burning the Qur’an and destroying mosques once again showed that Israel’s war against Palestinians is also a war against Islam.

Awad called on the administration of US President Joe Biden to condemn the desecration of Muslim religious sanctities and suspend the transfer of arms to the Zionist regime to force it to end its campaign of massacre and starving people in Gaza.

Biometrics in the workplace may be the way of the future. But at what cost?

When Ellie Thomson arrives at work, she doesn’t punch in on a physical clock or even check in on an app. Instead, she scans her finger.

“Seeing everyone else go ahead and do it, it just figured like the right thing to do and there was no issues with it,'” Thomson told Cost of Living.

Thomson is a 21-year-old server and bartender at charbar in Calgary. She’s one of many employees who now use biometric technology such as fingerprint scanning to clock in and out, and that number is rising.

Trudeau’s commitment to senate reform joins the pile of other broken promises

In 2015, former Prime Minister Stephen Harper made headlines for his stated desire to reform the senate. In a bold move, Harper said his government would no longer appoint senators until there was meaningful change in the red chamber.

The Canadian Constitution outlines that the senate make up is divided among provinces and territories. To make structural changes to the makeup and powers of the senate, provincial approval representing two-thirds of the provinces representing at least 50 per cent of the population is required.

Sweden’s Migration Turn

Sweden has seen a massive increase in immigration in the 2000s under governments of both left and right, a product of (take your pick) generosity, naïvety, and a self-congratulatory sense of mission (the belief, which has manifested itself in different ways over the years, that Sweden was a moral or, more modestly, humanitarian superpower) supplemented, under center-right governments between 2006-14, by a sort of libertarianism.

The Stakes for Women in This Election Are Enormous

Under a Harris administration that supports transgender ideology and Islamic fundamentalism women face immeasurable harm.

Is abortion the only issue that affects women’s lives?

In my view, the Democrat Party is brazenly erasing womankind across the board. They support gender not sex-based rights, which seems to mean the end of sports for girls and women and the weird requests to identify one’s gender “assigned at birth” and how one identifies now on medical forms and school applications.
