Trudeau launches assault on property rights to answer housing shortage
In Tuesday’s fiscal update, the Trudeau government found itself trying to bury the lede in a bad news story of bigger deficits, higher debt payments and a weakened economy.
Following a slew of opinion polls that show the Liberals trailing the opposition Conservatives by a widening margin, the update also exuded a palpable sense of urgency as the government scrambles to address a critical issue on which they were caught completely off guard: housing.
Well said …
But we all knew Multiculturalism was about identity politics and pandering to ethnic strongmen who could deliver votes.
Why isn’t similar content to be found in English media?
[Ouch]

Beyond the Bochra Manaï affair – NB – Google translate
When Bochra Manaï was appointed commissioner for the fight against racism and systemic discrimination at the City of Montreal, Valérie Plante assured Montrealers that she had been selected following “a very rigorous process” which was “guarantee of quality of the person who had been chosen” and that the latter knew that she was now serving an “institution” and understood well “her [new] role”.
Many Montrealers were indeed worried about the fact that the main person concerned had made herself known above all as a spokesperson for the National Council of Canadian Muslims and that as such, she had publicly criticized Bill 21 on the secularism of the State and Quebec as a whole, which has become, according to her, “a reference for supremacists and extremists around the world”. Could we really think that someone who had made such provocative and unobjective remarks a few weeks earlier (she had gone so far as to associate Bill 21 with the attacks in Quebec and Christchurch, New Zealand) was going to change instantly, by the magic of an appointment, as an impartial commissioner?
The crux of the problem is there. We recruit political activists to make them civil servants who are supposed to be objective and impartial and we are then surprised that they have remained above all… activists.
Toronto Star Says Media Not Calling Poilievre Hitler Enough
Media fails Canadians by giving a free pass to Pierre Poilievre
If recent opinion polls are right, Pierre Poilievre will be Canada’s next prime minister, easily defeating Justin Trudeau and the Liberals in an election that could come less than a year from now.
Those same polls also indicate Poilievre and his Conservatives will likely form a majority government, which would see him in office for four years with the power to alter Canada in dramatic ways.
But what do you really know about what Poilievre would do as prime minister beyond killing the federal carbon tax? Do you know anything about how he would fix the housing crisis or tackle inflation, health care, interest rates, the environment, regional alienation?
Palestinian terrorist expected to be swapped for hostages demanded Israel pay for her plastic surgery after explosive she detonated left her with serious burns
A Palestinian terrorist expected to be released in the hostage exchange controversially demanded Israel pay for her plastic surgery after injuring herself in an attack.
Asraa Jabas, 38, was seriously disfigured after a gas cylinder exploded during an attack in 2015 in the West Bank which also left a policeman badly hurt.
She was sentenced to eleven years but since being convicted has successfully applied twice for funding to have plastic surgery – sparking outrage.
FUREY: Olivia Chow’s budget process sets the stage for large tax hikes
Speak up now, Toronto, if you want to avoid large tax hikes.
The last thing the city should be doing during the affordability crisis is taking more money out of peoples’ wallets. Yet. Mayor Olivia Chow is currently setting the stage for what could be a significant property tax increase.
‘Jihad’ chants can be prosecuted as encouraging terrorism
Chants of jihad at pro-Palestine marches can be prosecuted as encouraging terrorism, the Government’s adviser on counter terror legislation has said.
In a report published on Wednesday, Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, said he did not believe there was any need to toughen anti-terror laws in the wake of the national pro-Palestine protests.
He said current legislation gave police sufficient powers to take action against “encouraging terrorism” such as calls to jihad and any changes would have unintended consequences that could damage freedom of speech.
Surge of Drug Smugglers and Illegal Immigrants Cross the US-Canada Border
WASHINGTON—Republican legislators announced on Feb. 28 at the House Triangle a new caucus to raise awareness about the spike of illegal immigrants and drug smugglers coming across the U.S.-Canada border.
Northern border apprehensions have surged by 1,498 percent since President Joe Biden took office, the lawmakers said. Except for marijuana, drug smuggling along the border between the United States and Canada has increased by 596 percent since FY 2021. The number of CBP agents, instead, has remained the same since FY 2009.
Hackers are taking over planes’ GPS — experts are lost on how to fix it
It’s one of the most terrifying events imaginable.
There have been over 50 recent reports of frightening cyberattacks that have altered planes’ in-flight GPS, leading to what experts described as “critical navigation failures” onboard the aircraft.
More frightening still, industry leaders thought that this type of hacking was not possible and are at a loss over how to fix the now glaring security failure. Since late August, they have been observed throughout the Middle East, particularly over Israel, neighboring Egypt, and Iraq.

John Robson: An ideology that claims to overflow with love yet excuses genocidal rape is truly evil
The Oct. 7 genocidal Hamas/Islamic Jihad attack on Israel had the silver lining of producing moral clarity. Which might seem poor compensation but when things are bad and getting worse fast, it’s vital to see them as they are. Including the perplexing fact that so many western feminists went off the deep end, or revealed themselves as having long since done so, to the point of denying that the jihadis committed savage acts of rape and butchery not merely from general depravity but as a preplanned weapon of terrorist genocide.
Why don’t we re-equip the CAF with Super Pigs?
Canada’s ‘super pigs’ threatening to invade northern U.S. states
An exploding population of hard-to-eradicate “super pigs” in Canada is threatening to spill south of the border, and northern states like Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana are taking steps to stop the invasion.
In Canada, the wild pigs roaming Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba pose a new threat. They are often crossbreeds that combine the survival skills of wild Eurasian boar with the size and high fertility of domestic swine to create a “super pig” that’s spreading out of control.
Media Matters Picked On the Wrong Guy
We have long known that Media Matters for America is a sleazy outfit that exists in large part not to play in the marketplace of ideas but for the goal of driving conservatives out of that marketplace. That’s been its modus operandi in the past, in agitating for advertiser boycotts of figures such as Rush Limbaugh and Tucker Carlson, whom Media Matters wants off the airwaves. Now, they’ve come after Elon Musk over the content-moderation policies of X (formerly Twitter). They appear to have picked on the wrong guy.
Israel war ‘tearing Hollywood apart’
A rising star has lost a coveted film role, Susan Sarandon has been dropped by her talent agency and Tom Cruise is said to have stepped in to protect his agent as Hollywood faces being torn apart by war in the Middle East.
The American entertainment industry is famous for its political uniformity and on the vast majority of issues A-listers, executives and below-the-line workers speak with one voice.
