Frank Stronach: Canada starting to look neo-feudal as rich-poor gulf widens

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer goes the old saying. But is it true? It certainly seems to be the case in Canada.

A new report published by Statistics Canada last week showed that the wealth gap in our country continues to widen. According to the report, the richest 20 per cent of Canadians accounted for nearly 70 per cent of the country’s total wealth in the third quarter of 2023, while the bottom 40 per cent of Canadians represented a meagre three per cent of Canada’s wealth in that time. The wealth gap between these two groups rose by 0.2 per cent from 2022 to 2023.

Tom Mulcair: Weak communications are the Trudeau Liberals’ Achilles heel

In political communications, “too much” is sometimes worse than “not enough”.

It’s understandable that the Liberals, frustrated at the success of Pierre Polievre’s freewheeling demagoguery, would be tempted to go into overdrive on the message front.

On Monday, the day of Parliament’s return, we saw a case of overdrive becoming overkill.

WARMINGTON: Security threat against Trudeau all of Canada’s concern

It’s just not acceptable to see Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as vulnerable as he was on Monday when an angry mob of protesters descended on his vehicle.

It was a serious security incident caught on camera that once again raises concerns about the safety of Canada’s prime minister while illustrating a vitriolic mood among some Canadians.


I dunno. I mean it’s Trudeau.

Why hasn’t the CDC warned about all the diseases that could be brought in because of Joe Biden’s open borders?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is supposed to be an independent agency looking out for the health of the American people.

So why hasn’t it protested the endless stream of illegals pouring across the northern and southern borders, all of whom are allowed to enter without being checked for disease or illness? Are these bureaucrats more interested in protecting their jobs and going along with the political agenda of Joe Biden instead of protecting public health?

Would Democrats actually vote for Michelle Obama?

Rumours are once again circulating among figures on the American Right that Michelle Obama could run for president.

A New York Post op-ed cited anonymous sources to claim that former president Barack Obama has polled donors and is plotting behind the scenes to have his wife replace Joe Biden on the ballot. The incumbent president will supposedly announce that he’s dropping out of the race just before the Democratic National Convention in August, where Michelle Obama will be nominated to run in his place.

German Publication Tries To Backtrack on AfD ‘Remigration’ Hit Piece

The much-touted media hit piece that propelled a wave of anti-AfD protests in Germany— including calls for the party itself to be banned—has come under fire this week as one of its lead journalists described heavy exaggeration in the German press.

Anette Dowideit, the deputy editor of the left-wing Correctiv media outlet, in an interview on national TV on Sunday evening, stated that, contrary to media coverage, there was no direct talk of mass deportations—’remigration’— in a meeting between nationalist migration-critical Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party and key figures on the radical right.

This raises serious questions about the credibility of the reporting, especially given its role in prompting protests and calls for political repression.

Greta Thunberg accuses Israel of genocide

As the International Court of Justice in The Hague prepared to announce its verdict on South Africa’s charge of Israel committing genocide on Jan. 26, Greta Thunberg posted a photo of herself with a keffiyeh wrapped around her neck and holding a sign stating “Palestine will be free.”

The 21-year-old, left-wing Swedish activist, who rose to fame calling attention to climate change, wrote on social media that “we cannot remain silent during a genocide.”

What has happened to the Pentagon’s former UFO hunter?

“As an intelligence officer, I would expect all of you to expect me to lie to you.” So the former director of the Pentagon’s UFO analysis office quipped to an audience in 2022.

Since his retirement in December, Sean Kirkpatrick has been on a media tour unusual for former intelligence officials.

Kirkpatrick now indirectly accuses top members of Congress of holding a “religious belief” in UFOs “that transcends critical thinking and rational thought.” In his most pointed commentary, he has also fired back at whistleblowers alleging the existence of surreptitious government UFO retrieval and reverse engineering efforts.

Canadians will pay nearly $500 million in sales taxes to fund Trudeau’s carbon tax in 2024

The Trudeau government is expected collect nearly a half-billion dollars in sales taxes on the carbon tax this year alone.

On January 23, the Budget Office acknowledged that a five percent federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) on the carbon tax will cost Canadians $486 million despite repeated claims by Liberals that the carbon tax is “revenue neutral.”

Joe Oliver: Liberals underestimate Pierre Poilievre at their peril

In a much-remarked-on recent column — “The case for Trump — by someone who wants him to lose” — Bret Stephens of The New York Times gave U.S. Democrats a wake-up call: “You can’t defeat an opponent if you refuse to understand what makes him formidable.” Let me provide the same wake-up call to Canadian Liberals about Pierre Poilievre — with the important difference that I want Poilievre to win.

Harvard’s Chief Diversity Officer Plagiarized and Claimed Credit for Husband’s Work, Complaint Alleges

It’s not just Claudine Gay. Harvard University’s chief diversity and inclusion officer, Sherri Ann Charleston, appears to have plagiarized extensively in her academic work, lifting large portions of text without quotation marks and even taking credit for a study done by another scholar—her own husband—according to a complaint filed with the university on Monday and a Washington Free Beacon analysis.

Hussen refuses to answer reporters’ questions on timing of UNRWA funding pause

Ahmed Hussen Islamist

OTTAWA —  Canada’s international development minister avoided reporters’ questions Tuesday on whether the widely publicized pause in the government’s funding of a contentious UN agency came before or after Canada had made a promised payment to the agency.

On Monday, columnist Hélène Buzzetti posted in French on X, formerly Twitter, that the federal government had already made the first of four promised $25-million payments to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) — despite last Friday’s announcement from International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen that funding would be paused after evidence emerged that agency employees took part in the Oct. 7 terror attacks on Israel.
