‘The costs have ballooned’: Liberal government failed to anticipate difficulty of gun ‘buyback,’ association says

OTTAWA — The organization tasked with helping retailers navigate the Trudeau Liberals’ mandatory gun “buyback” says the government has bitten off far more than it can chew and is now discovering the difficulty with the sheer volume of items it may have to expropriate.

Wes Winkel, president of the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (CSAAA), said the government apparently didn’t anticipate that its ban on “assault-style” firearms involved a massive number of parts and accessories that could be captured by the buyback’s planned expropriation, which will require gun owners and retailers holding inventory of those items to be compensated.

Germany presents defense at ICJ over Gaza ‘genocide’ claim

The Germans are familiar with ideological  justice.

Germany on Tuesday blamed Nicaragua for having a “one-sided” view of the Israel-Hamas war.

Berlin was defending itself at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against charges brought by Nicaragua that its support for Israel enables genocide and breaches of international humanitarian law in Gaza.

The head of Germany’s legal team, Tania von Uslar-Gleichen, said Nicaragua’s case ignores “facts and the law.”

She said the Nicaragua case was rushed, based on flimsy evidence, and should be thrown out due to the lack of jurisdiction.

I suspect this is a test case whose goal is to isolate Israel.

Canada may find itself at the ICJ if it is successful. Of course Justin would side with the terrorists.

Chairman Chow Stands With Hamas Supporters

Mayor Olivia Chow has no plans to condemn some city councillors for supporting Torontonians’ right to protest following a pro-Palestinian demonstration that included clashes with police officers.

”Whether they are councillors, a deputy mayor or ordinary citizens, they have the right, under the Charter of Freedoms, to assemble, to have their voice heard,” Chow told reporters Monday, responding to a question about the police officers’ union demand that she criticizes the councillors’ actions.

Sunny Hostin is roasted after claiming that the solar eclipse and earthquake are linked to climate change

Sunny Hostin was roasted by her co-hosts on The View after she claimed that the solar eclipse, New York City’s recent earthquake and the arrival of cicadas are all linked to climate change.

The View co-hosts had a heated debate on Monday as they tried to explain the science behind the total solar eclipse, which saw millions of Americans taking to the streets to view the rare celestial phenomenon.

Hostin, 55, began by asserting that the total solar eclipse, the 4.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked New York City last week, and the imminent arrival of trillions of red-eyed insects are possible signs of climate change.

WTF?

The usual mohammedan suspects have condemned this video as being hateful.

Don’t buy into the BS, hate is their religion.

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Maya Angelou.

Anthony Furey: Sadly, the Housing Crisis in Canada Isn’t on Track to Get Any Better

War Housing Ajax

One of the most dominant topics in both the Canadian news media and politics is housing. The news features come out on a daily basis. Politicians at all levels of government voice their concerns and make announcements. Some of these announcements come with major cash infusions towards housing initiatives.

The consensus is broad and clear: Housing is too costly. There are too few units being built. The problem needs to be tackled with an all-hands-on-deck approach.

Canada needs more soldiers. Here’s how it plans to recruit them

OTTAWA — Canada aims to grow its military to 71,500 regular members over the next eight years by addressing long-standing recruitment and retention problems, according to an updated defence policy announced Monday.

The new strategy builds on several recently announced policies that softened the Canadian Armed Forces’ eligibility requirements, adding new funding for military housing, child care, and efforts to digitize services and increase the number of civilian specialists, although most of that funding will come more than five years down the line.

No mention of being so woke they’ve driven away their most reliable source of recruits.

CSIS briefing for PMO in 2023 says China interfered in both 2019 and 2021 elections, inquiry told

A top secret CSIS briefing prepared for the Prime Minister’s Office in February 2023 last year, following leaks to the media about Chinese meddling, said Beijing “clandestinely and deceptively interfered in both the 2019 and 2021 general elections.”

The classified document, dated Feb. 21, 2023, was tabled at the Commission of Inquiry into Foreign Interference in response to media stories including one in The Globe and Mail that outlined a sophisticated campaign by People’s Republic of China (PRC) and its proxies to interfere in the 2021 election.

Alec Baldwin had ‘no control’ over his emotions on Rust set, prosecutors say

New Mexico state prosecutors plan to argue that Alec Baldwin was unable to control his emotions on the set of the film Rust, where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed when a gun held by the actor went off – and that he “shamelessly lied” and changed his story about the deadly shooting.

The 66-year-old actor is due to go on trial in July on a charge of involuntary manslaughter for his part in Hutchins’ death in Santa Fe. Baldwin has denied wrongdoing. But in a 32-page public filing released on Monday, prosecutor Kari Morrissey alleged that the actor would shout and swear on the set, and his uncontrolled behavior had affected safety.

Canada exploring possibility of joining AUKUS alliance, Trudeau says

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada is exploring the possibility of joining the second phase of AUKUS, a U.S.-led alliance with the United Kingdom and Australia.

The initial pillar of the alliance, forged in 2021, was focused on developing nuclear-powered submarines for Australia.

Trudeau says Canada will consider whether it needs to purchase nuclear-powered submarines to better ensure it can defend Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic.

Bullshit, nothing but electioneering.
