Trudeau has lowered your chance of finding a job by allowing his corporate cronies to hire foreign students at reduced wages over Canadians again

International students will be allowed to work 24 hours a week starting in September

OTTAWA – Immigration Minister Marc Miller says international students will be able to work off-campus up to 24 hours per week starting in September.

The Liberals temporarily waved the 20-hour cap on work hours for international students during the COVID-19 pandemic in a bid to ease labour shortages.

Hostin Backs Pro-Hamas Camps: ‘Anti-War Protests’ Against ‘Apartheid’

Finally, back from their spring break, Monday was the first day the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View were able to spout off about the anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas encampments sweeping across college campuses. Staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host, Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) didn’t disappoint as she threw her lot in with the students chanting for the murder of Jews. She decried those who told the truth about the students and whined about the anti-Semitic designation.

British Columbia abruptly drops drug decriminalization after backlash

British Columbia has abruptly reversed course on its landmark experiment decriminalizing the possession of certain illicit drugs, citing mounting public frustration and “disorder” in the Canadian province.

Premier David Eby said on Friday that he had asked the federal government to reintroduce a ban on public drug use, formally ending the country’s first large attempt to gauge the effects of decriminalization.

“Keeping people safe is our highest priority. While we are caring and compassionate for those struggling with addiction, we do not accept street disorder that makes communities feel unsafe,” Eby said.

Nolte: Kristi Noem Shot Her Dog and Political Future in the Head

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) has committed the most astounding act of political suicide since Gary Hart.

By many accounts, Noem, a popular governor with a growing national brand, was on former President Trump’s vice presidential shortlist. Even if he didn’t choose her, there was little doubt Noem had a political future—she’s a beauty with made-for-TV looks, conservative, rural, and, in this era consumed by identity politics, being a woman doesn’t hurt. One could easily see her assuming a role in a future President Trump’s cabinet, and then running for president in 2028.

Israel reduces number of hostages to be released in Hamas deal to 33 – report

Israel has reduced the number of hostages it demands to be released in the first phase of a hostage deal with Hamas to 33, according to a Monday Kan News report.

According to a New York Times exclusive, Israel initially sought to release 40 hostages, including women, children, the seriously ill, and female soldiers. However, a revision occurred partly due to Israel’s belief, as indicated by one official, that some of the 40 captives may have died while in captivity.

Desperately Clinging To Power: Trudeau tries to buy time for himself tells Grit MPs not to expect any dramatic boost in public support until next year

Trudeau tells Grit MPs not to expect any dramatic boost in public support until next year

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Liberal MPs at their most recent national caucus meeting in Ottawa not to expect any significant change in public opinion polls until next year, according to some politicians who attended.

“Don’t expect us to be neck and neck in two months’ time or six months’ time, even,” said a Liberal MP when describing the gist of Trudeau’s (Papineau, Que.) message to MPs at the April 17 national caucus meeting, one day after the federal budget. “He’s [Trudeau] trying to downplay expectations. It’s like treading water when you’re drowning. [He was telling us] to not freak out while you’re drowning, that you stay calm, and you can get back to the top for a lot of the Members who are below water.”

Trudeau’s government has caused immense generational harm and there is no way he can fix it.

Ukraine allies ‘have not delivered what they promised,’ NATO chief Stoltenberg says in Kyiv

NATO countries have failed to deliver in good time what they promised to Ukraine, the alliance’s chief said Monday, as Russia rushes to exploit its battlefield advantages before Kyiv’s depleted forces get more Western military supplies in the war that has lasted more than two years.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that “serious delays in support have meant serious consequences on the battlefield” for Ukraine.

“NATO allies have not delivered what they promised,” Stoltenberg said at a news conference in Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, referring to delays by the U.S. and Europe in sending weapons and ammunition.

Iran’s death sentence for rapper sparks protests and undermines criticism of US

An Iranian court’s decision to pass the death sentence against Toomaj Salehi, a popular Iranian rapper and regime opponent, has led to international protests and damaged Iran’s fledgling efforts to exploit crackdowns on unrest in US university campuses over Gaza as an abuse of human rights.

Crowds gathered in the US, Europe and Canada on Sunday to support Salehi, while dozens of political prisoners in Iran’s Ghezel Hesar prison issued a statement condemning the death sentence, calling it “the culmination of gross human rights violations in Iran”. Salehi has also won the support of major US rappers, as well as human rights groups.

FBI bypassed Trudeau government & directly told parliamentarians they were targets of Chinese hackers in 2021

A group of Canadian MPs and senators who belong to an international parliamentary alliance critical of the Chinese government say the FBI recently informed their organization that many in their ranks were targeted by hackers linked to Beijing.

They say the Canadian government never told them of this People’s Republic of China (PRC) cyberattack despite the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation passed on the information to foreign capitals in 2022.

Further evidence that Trudeau’s government is working for the ChiComs.

US campus protests: Rival Gaza protest groups clash at UCLA

Pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel groups have clashed at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as demonstrations over the war in Gaza continue across US campuses.

Nationwide rallies – during which there have been hundreds of arrests – showed no sign of stopping over the weekend.

At UCLA “physical altercations broke out” after a barrier separating the two sides was breached, an official said.

Lots of give and take … UCLA
