Canada should increase productivity, not supercharge immigration

When future historians look back on the decade of the 2020s, they’ll likely be struck by two global demographic trends: 1) Aging populations across most of the world and 2) Populations that are now in outright decline in a large group of countries. The two trends are related. In North America, Europe and parts of Asia, an increasing share of the population is moving into retirement, meaning death rates will climb as more people enter their twilight years. Coupled with generally low birth rates, rapid aging is setting the stage for dwindling populations in many jurisdictions.

35% of Canadians Struggling to Pay for Groceries, MPs Hear

About 35 percent of Canadians are struggling to pay for groceries as inflation continues to push food prices higher, Statistics Canada representatives told MPs on a House of Commons committee.

“Since early 2021, higher prices for gasoline, shelter, food, and consumer durables like automobiles have put upward pressure on consumer inflation,” said Matthew MacDonald, assistant director of Statistics Canada’s Consumer Prices Division.

Rex Murphy: Who needs a public inquiry when you have a ‘special’ rapporteur? We do

We’re going to have a rapporteur examine Chairman Xi’s surreptitious needlework during our Canadian elections. As opposed to, in place of, or more precisely, to avoid a public inquiry.

Surely no one expected anything better. Surely no one expected anything different from Deflection and Avoidance Central, which is the Prime Minister’s Office.

Germany’s effort to save the combustion engine gains allies

The Czech, German and Italian transport ministers aim to gather like-minded counterparts in Brussels on Monday to figure out a way to save the combustion engine from an EU ban in 2035, two diplomats told POLITICO.

Germany — backed by Italy, Poland and Bulgaria — has blocked the final approval of a law that would mandate only zero-emission cars and vans can be sold in the EU from 2035. Berlin wants the European Commission to first put forward an option allowing cars to use synthetic fuels known as e-fuels, but the blockade is leading to broader questions about the whole 2035 measure.

Poilievre presses Trudeau on reports of money from China in Canadian elections

OTTAWA — In the wake of new allegations of foreign interference, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insisted he has no information about money from the Chinese government working its way into Canadian elections.

Global News reported Wednesday on two briefing notes it obtained through intelligence sources that indicated the government was warned in 2019 and 2022 that the Chinese government was funnelling money to Canadian election candidates.

It Was a Good Death: Seven Decades Ago, Joseph Stalin Died

We must dance on the graves of mass murderers whose legacies continue to infect nations and foment conflicts.

Most people hate to speak ill of the dead. They look for something nice to say about even the not-so-dear departed. People’s natural imperfections usually seem to shrink when they leave this earth.

Not so with Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, as he was named at birth. He later took the revolutionary pseudonym Stalin, often translated as “man of steel.” It was all too accurate, a foreshadowing of the tragic consequences millions of people suffered under his command. He died 70 years ago, with even his closest aides wanting him dead — and they were lucky to have survived, since he may have been preparing to embark on another killing spree targeting those surrounding him.

Is Call of Duty a government psyop?

There are suspicious ties between the franchise and the US military

Even if you’re not into video games, you will have heard of Call of Duty. It’s one of the most popular titles ever made. Fans have devoted more than 25 billion hours to the first-person shooter game — that’s 2.85 million years. It’s a product with an enormous amount of power — and, some say, the potential to be weaponised. Last year, Alan MacLeod, who has written two books about propaganda, suggested that the most recent edition of Call of Duty — Modern Warfare: II, last year’s biggest-selling title — is nothing more than a US government “psychological operation”, or “psyop”.

How euthanasia has revived the death penalty

The Belgian state has once again authorised the killing of a prisoner, 105 years after its last peacetime execution.

Geneviève Lhermitte was an infamous murderer. She killed her son and four daughters, aged between three and 14, in Nivelles, Belgium on 28 February 2007. On 28 February 2023, she was euthanised, after she successfully invoked her ‘right to die’.

Did the Ukrainians bomb the Nord Stream pipeline?

There’s an uncomfortable fact about covert operations in the information-saturated modern world. Like personal WhatsApp messages, they always leak – the only questions are how long it takes, who leaks, and what the consequences will be.

With reports coming from both Washington and Berlin that Ukrainians may have been behind the spectacular bombings of the Nord Stream gas pipeline back in September, it looks as if the current lag is just months.

Our Christophobic Ruling Caste

Why Christianity is a threat to our technocratic elites.

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley last week persistently questioned Attorney General Merrick Garland about the FBI’s over-reaction last September in its heavily armed arrest of pro-life Catholic Mark Houck at his home––for an alleged assault that local law enforcement had already declined to prosecute. Houck was tried, and a jury acquitted him in just an hour.

Why the Intel Leaks on Beijing’s Interference Are More Than Uncorroborated Reports

Senior government figures have attempted to downplay the significance of the leaks

Top federal officials have downplayed the quality of leaked intelligence on the Chinese regime’s election interference in Canada, but a review of what has been reported shows that they are more than just uncorroborated sole-source observations.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs David Morrison told the Commons Procedure and House Affairs Committee (PROC) on March 2 that there was no interference in recent elections and backed his position by saying disparate intelligence reports can be unreliable.

Trudeau again deflects questions on foreign election interference

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he knows Canadians still have questions about China’s role in the past two elections — but he’s still refusing to answer specific questions about the briefings he has received.

Instead, he suggested Wednesday a recently announced special rapporteur and two intelligence agencies are better placed to look into what kind of information was shared with whom.

“To be quite honest, I know that no matter what I say, Canadians continue to have questions about what we did and what we didn’t,” he told reporters on Parliament Hill Wednesday.
