The Trudeau Liberals created a ‘population trap’ that is making us poorer

Immigration Minister Marc Miller made the media rounds on the weekend promising to think about – maybe, perhaps, possibly – capping the number of international students Canada accepts, and pinning the blame for an “out of control” problem on others.

“Well, we’ll consider it. We’ll consider it, and we’ll continue to consider it,” Mr. Miller told CTV’s Question Period. “If provinces don’t do their jobs, we’re ready to do it.”

Europe’s new soundtrack: Takbir!

Birmingham England

The US dismissed warnings of an Islamist attack before 9/11, Israel dismissed warnings of a Hamas attack before 10/7, and Europe is making the same mistake.

The video comes from Birmingham, 1 and a half million inhabitants, the second largest city in England, 30 percent Islamic. An entire stadium shouting the Islamic takbir, the submission cry of the “infidels”.

Wikipedia: Takbir is a call to glorify Allah. Takbir is the Arabic term for the phrase Allahu Akbar, meaning “Allah is the greatest.”

Already in 2015 Reuters defined Birmingham as the “English Mecca”. And two years later the New York Times wondered why many English jihadists come from Birmingham. Yes, who knows why.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Liberals blind as aggressive immigration damages economy

Canada’s immigration policies are damaging the economy. That’s the finding of Canada’s top bank economists, who issued a dire warning to the federal government. By admitting 455,000 new permanent residents and more than 800,000 non-permanent residents last year, Canada is on the brink of a recession, or worse. “I’ll put it bluntly: We’ve fallen into the population trap,” said Stéfane Marion, chief economist at National Bank of Canada. An increase in the standard of living is no longer possible because “you don’t have enough savings to stabilize your capital to labour ratio.”

How using ‘Lilibet’ became Harry and Meghan’s final insult to Queen Elizabeth

Until the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s daughter, it was a name associated with only one woman in the world.

For decades “Lilibet” had been the late Queen’s cherished nickname – used only by those closest to the former monarch.

Yet the rekindled row over Harry and Meghan christening their daughter “Lilibet” in 2021 lays bare the significance of a moniker first ascribed to Princess Elizabeth when she was a toddler and couldn’t pronounce her own name.

Islam Overtaking Europe?

Birmingham England

In New York, as in the Belgian parliament, you can meet more and more people who are convinced that the Islamization of Brussels — and London and other capitals, they often add — is now inevitable and only a matter of time.

The growth of the Muslim population in Brussels has been both enormous and meteoric. Over the past 50 years, the number of Muslims has grown steadily, and given the erasure of Europe’s borders, thanks to the 1985 Schengen Agreement, there seems to be no end in sight.

Griselda: Colombian drug lord ‘Cocaine Godmother’ gets Hollywood makeover

Sofia Vergara will play Griselda Blanco

“The only man I was ever afraid of was a woman named Griselda Blanco.” This is what infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar allegedly once said about the person who created one of the most profitable cartels in history.

A woman who had people murdered because “she didn’t like the way they looked at her”, Blanco was a ruthless criminal mastermind whose name was one of the most feared in 1970s and 80s Miami.

Now the notorious drug lord has had a Hollywood makeover as Modern Family’s Sofía Vergara joins forces with the team behind crime drama Narcos to play the leader of the criminal underworld.

I watched a documentary on Griselda she was an ugly psycopath. Much as I like Sofia I don’t think she is right for the role.

The United States is poised to reclassify Yemen’s Houthis as a terrorist organisation, reversing a decision by President Biden to delist the rebels in 2021.

The designation of the Houthis as a “specially designated global terrorist” entity is expected on Wednesday in response to the Iran-backed group’s attacks on commercial and military ships in the Red Sea, one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.

Environmental Concerns Loom Over Subsidized Quebec EV Battery Plant

The Department of Fisheries is currently reviewing a taxpayer-funded electric auto battery factory in Quebec, owned by Northvolt, amid concerns of potential environmental impacts.

This review includes assessing the risk of wetland destruction and fish habitat harm, as first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter. Despite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s previous endorsement of the Northvolt plant as “the world’s cleanest,” these concerns bring a new dimension to the project.

The school leader, known as Britain’s strictest head teacher, is facing a High Court challenge from a Muslim pupil over the prayer policy at Michaela Community School.

Former Liberal foreign minister says Canada no longer ‘useful’ in world affairs: ‘We…lost our bearings’

OTTAWA – Canada is good at pointing fingers at other countries but is missing in action on the international scene when it is most needed, said former Liberal deputy prime minister and foreign affairs minister John Manley on the podcast The Global Exchange.

Manley, who famously said two decades ago that Canada cannot sit at the G8 table and then excuse itself to go to the washroom when the waiter arrives with the bill, was asked if the country is now pulling its weight on the international scene during an episode recorded with former Quebec premier Jean Charest and former Conservative defence minister Peter MacKay.
