Should We Fund the ‘Nazis’ of the 21st Century?

They certainly cannot be happy in Beijing. An exceedingly technical administrative decision in Washington, D.C. will soon result in investors pulling tens of billions of dollars in investments from a cash-strapped China.

On November 14, the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board changed the benchmark for the Thrift Savings Plan’s International Stock Index Investment Fund, better known as the I Fund.

Previously, the I Fund tracked the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East Index. The Thrift Board decided on November 14th instead to track the MSCI All Country World ex USA ex China ex Hong Kong Investible Market Index.

Diane Francis: Trudeau tries to loot charitable sector to fund his high-spending government

The profligate Trudeau government is proposing a tax reform to ensure fair tax contributions from all, but in reality it’s nothing more than a stealth tax hike designed to fill government coffers at the expense of Canadian charities. The tax grab is coming by way of proposed changes to the alternative minimum tax (AMT), and the country’s donors and charity fundraisers are upset.

Douglas Todd: It’s a problem when kids whose parents don’t own homes end up as non-owners

The Strawberry Box House – Shelter from the Storm

What happens to equality when young adults who don’t have homeowner parents are far less likely to be able to buy a dwelling?

It’s not every day you are cited in the introduction to a Statistics Canada study.

But that’s what happened this week when a new report by housing researchers at the Crown corporation highlighted my 2021 column, titled Canada’s ‘bank of mom and dad’ returning us to 19th-century inheritance culture.

In their groundbreaking study of a disturbing trend toward inequality in Canada, Michael Mirdamadi and Aisha Khalid discovered young adults who have parents who own their home were twice as likely to own a home themselves.

The inability to afford a home is an awful prospect to face. That twit in Ottawa is doing everything he can to make it worse.

‘Doctor Who’ Has Regenerated Into a Woke Nightmare

Fans once considered Doctor Who the pinnacle of family sci-fi programming. Its relaunch in 2005 created nearly a decade of fantastic stories that became a global phenomenon. But like many beloved properties, new writers and producers butchered the show as time passed, turning it into an LGBTQ virtue-signal hour and turning off the loyal family audiences who made it popular. The most recent 60th Anniversary Special, titled “The Star Beast,” is an hour-long lecture on pronouns in the worst installment of the show yet.

“It wasn’t that bad, they got an education out of it.”

Michael Eshkawkogan says he’s seen that exact comment and others like it when scrolling on social media. No one has ever said it to his face, but he knows it’s out there.

“Some don’t believe churches or people are capable of this,” said Eshkawkogan, whose grandmother was forced to attend the Spanish Indian Residential School for girls in northeastern Ontario before it closed in 1965.

Top White House health official says it’s ‘certainly possible’ China KILLED researcher who started the Covid pandemic by throwing him off Wuhan lab roof

A retired high-ranking health official revealed a Wuhan scientist secretly working on a Covid vaccine months before the pandemic broke out could have caused the global crisis and then been murdered for it.

Dr Robert Kadlec, who served in the Trump administration as an official in biodefense and epidemic response departments during the Covid-19 pandemic, revealed the coronavirus could have escaped a Wuhan lab at the hands of Chinese military scientist, Zhou Yusen, who was conducting risky research on live animals.

Canada a “safe zone” for Transnational Crime and Foreign Interference networks

Money Laundering

The network of an elite Chinese Mafia suspect with significant industrial assets in British Columbia has been implicated “in recent RCMP investigations of CCP police stations in Canada, and other countries,” according to a sweeping new report from a United States anti-corruption NGO.

The report cites a collection of stunning cases and statistics to argue that transnational criminal networks with ties to China, Iran and Russia are using Canada to launder tens of billions annually, and related economic and political operations are undermining safety and democracy in the West.

Alberta uses Sovereignty Act for 1st time. What happens now?

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she’s using the province’s Sovereignty Act for the first time to challenge Ottawa’s requirements to have a net-zero electricity grid by 2035.

Smith said she wanted to invoke the act to send a message that her government is serious about pushing back against Ottawa’s plan to green Canada’s electricity grid by 2035, a plan she says could wreak havoc on Alberta’s natural gas-based grid.

A York University sociology professor who studies protests and at least two other employees of the school have been placed on leave from their jobs after they were charged in connection with hate-motivated mischief over the defacing of a Toronto Indigo bookstore.

If Liberals need more time on pharmacare , NDP says it will demand ‘more results’

OTTAWA – The NDP says there’s still enough time for the Liberals to meet their deadline for introducing pharmacare legislation, but if the government needs more time, their legislative dance partners are expecting more results.

NDP spokesperson Alana Cahill says her party was “very clear” that the Liberals’ first draft of a pharmacare bill “missed the mark” and didn’t guarantee coverage for everyone.

So the Justmeet show drags on till 2025.
