Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he’ll remain as leader of the Liberal Party, despite his government facing an uphill battle, according to an interview given to Quebec media.
“There is no doubt for me that yes, I continue, I have to keep going, and I still have a lot to offer,” Mr. Trudeau told online media La Presse on Dec. 7. “I still have a place in politics.”
Not if we can help it.
Ethan Crumbley, who gunned down four students at a Michigan high school in 2021, has been sentenced to life in prison without parole, a judge ruled on Friday.
Ahead of his sentencing, the 17-year-old acknowledged that he is a “really bad person.”
… Which brings me back to the elephant in the room, which Housing hell never mentions: immigration.
In the long run, over decades and centuries, Canada can match housing supply to housing demand, regardless of whether the national population is 40 million or 400 million. But in the here and now, a surge in new arrivals, particularly since the pandemic – with one million new residents in 2022, and likely more this year – has introduced housing demand at a far faster pace than supply can be built.
It’s simple math. There’s no getting around it. And both the Prime Minister and the man after his job would rather not talk about it.
Finally.
Released into the wild, the humble goldfish can grow to a monstrous size and destroy habitats for native species. Canadian researchers are tracking the fish, so that they might be culled.
Inside a fishbowl, the goldfish — a species of carp native to East Asia, bred for aesthetic delight and traditionally believed to bring good fortune — is hardly more than home décor. Usually just a few inches long, it is among the easiest of pets to keep.
But released into the wild, the seemingly humble goldfish, freed from glass boundaries and no longer limited to meager meals of flakes, can grow to monstrous proportions. They can even kill off native marine wildlife and help destroy fragile and economically valuable ecosystems.
Has there ever been a more out-of-touch federal government than the Trudeau Liberals?
Their wobbly perception caught up to them this week in Dubai, host of latest world climate conference. There in the capital of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates, economic and political reality crashed into alarmist fantasies, not to mention the laughable schemes of Trudeau’s most zealous climate activist, Environment Minister Steve Guilbeault.
It’s no secret that the schools run by the UNRWA—The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, the UN agency created in 1949 exclusively to aid Palestinian refugees—use textbooks that glorify terrorism and incite children against Israeli Jews, both in Gaza and the West Bank.
However, the organization’s structural problems run much deeper than just the textbooks, and the entire UNRWA must be dismantled to end the Islamist indoctrination that fuels Hamas’ perpetual war against Israel, Knesset Member Sharren Haskel warned at an event organized by MEPs of the European Conservative and Reformist (ECR) Group. The event, “How to stop radicalisation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict,” was held in the European Parliament on Wednesday, December 6th.
All federally regulated workplaces in Canada must have menstrual products, such as pads and tampons, readily available beginning Dec. 15 to “enable menstruating persons to take part fully in the workforce and society at large.”
The appearance of these products already in men’s washrooms at Canadian Armed Forces bases has been noted by the group Veterans 4 Freedom.
Man, 23, allegedly sexually assaulted 5 victims in under an hour in downtown Toronto
Police charged Surafiel Tewelde with five counts of sexual assault. The charges have not been tested in court.
A decision by Canada’s largest government workers’ union to donate $50,000 to two Gaza-based charities is raising the ire of some members, who say they’re fed up with funding politically-charged causes while concerns among their membership go unaddressed.
Late last month, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) announced two $25,000 donations supporting two Gaza-based charities : The Palestinian Red Crescent Society, and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA.)
A lucrative and growing cross-border human smuggling market is attracting domestic and international criminal organizations looking to cash in on moving “vulnerable” people from Canada into the United States, according to the senior RCMP officer who oversees border policing.
Chief Supt. Mathieu Bertrand, head of Serious and Organized Crime and Border Integrity at RCMP Federal Policing, said the force has recently recorded an “immense amount of intercepts” of cross-border smuggling attempts headed south, particularly across the Ontario-Quebec border with New York state and Vermont.
There are several astonishing things about the 56-page grand-jury indictment filed with nine counts against the president’s son, Hunter Biden, by federal prosecutor David Weiss.
The first is that it’s dizzying.
The US Congress has had some disturbing hearings in its time. But few have been more so than this week’s, when the heads of some of America’s top universities appeared in front of a special hearing on anti-Semitism in US campuses.
The hearings came after an upsurge of anti-Jewish hate led not just by students but visiting speakers. Inexplicably, invitations for outside speakers have included Roger Waters, who is perhaps better known today for accusations of anti-Semitism than his music. What exactly does he have to teach Ivy League students?
Julius Malema, one of South Africa’s most notorious anti-white political figures, is threatening destruction if he and his ideologues don’t get a seat “at the dinner table.”
The Kremlin’s spy chief Sergei Naryshkin warned the U.S. that Ukraine will turn into its “second Vietnam,” amid disagreement in Congress over funding for Kyiv.
“Ukraine will turn into a ‘black hole’ absorbing more and more resources and people,” Russian foreign intelligence chief Naryshkin said Thursday in a written statement published by his agency’s house journal, the Intelligence Operative.
“Ultimately, the U.S. risks creating a ‘second Vietnam’ for itself, and every new American administration will have to deal with it,” he added.
The IDF knew of Hamas’s plan — and made the logical call
The bad-faith reporting of Israeli news in The New York Times can overcome even the simplest arithmetic. Last month, there was a day-long rally for Israel in Washington that filled its Mall, with police attendance estimates ranging between 250,000 and 300,000. In the pages of the NYT, however, this became a gathering of “tens of thousands”.
