The Canadian healthcare system is experiencing an acute shortage of basic painkillers, particularly acetaminophen and ibuprofen, which are commonly used to relieve pain and fever in children during flu season.
Canada’s Association of Medical Assistance in Dying Assessors and Providers (CAMAP) chose this perhaps awkward moment to roll out a webinar for healthcare professionals that advised them to offer assisted suicide to their suffering patients.
Downtown Ottawa in late January and much of February 2022 was either a peace-fuelled hug fest so beautiful to behold that it still induces tears, or a dangerous cauldron of hate and aggression that made life hell for the 18,000 or so people who call the city centre home. It truly was a matter of perspective.
These days, that great divide is never more apparent than in front of Library and Archives Canada on Wellington Street, where one woman stands on the sidewalk and insults the convoy leaders by name as they emerge from the building’s front door to stand around in tight groups, talking and smoking.
What a tragedy, Ottawa bureaucrats observed up close in their natural habitat.
Canada’s Department of National Defence says it is investigating reports that China has attempted to use lucrative payouts to lure British, Canadian and other former military pilots to train its air force.
“The Department of National Defence, the Canadian Armed Forces and its members are committed to the preservation of national security,” a National Defence spokesperson told CTVNews.ca. “We are aware of these reports, and we are looking into this further with federal partners.”
Justin will probably give them the order of Canada.
It’s time to give serious consideration to bringing about school choice in Ontario.
If the parents left scrambling by Friday’s illegal strike had real options in where their kids were educated, then perhaps there wouldn’t have been a strike.
Smashing teacher’s unions is a good start and Lord knows there are a multitude of reasons to free children from their deviant grasp but the reality is we are in a class war that demands all public service unions be defanged. They are partisan predators and a genuine threat to democracy.
PS. Poilievre sent out a fund raising email recently expressing their intent to defund the CBC. I like it but I don’t trust the CPC to follow through.
A prosecutor is urging a Toronto judge to find that Kevin George was one of four men who engaged in a gunfight at a birthday party for his one-year-old son, saying the accused advertised his involvement by wearing a custom-made “Daddy Shark” T-shirt.
George opened fire amid “a sea of innocent people,” prosecutor Paul Zambonini said Friday in the west Toronto courthouse at 2201 Finch Ave. W.
“This is absolutely shocking, outrageous, disgusting behaviour. It’s incredible that these men chose to fire some 20 shots when there’s a children’s birthday party,” he said, directing the judge’s attention to a “bouncy castle” visible in video surveillance images.
Well at least he showed for his son’s birthday. Now it’s time to harass some legal gun owners!
Food prices have soared to their highest rates in almost half a century, leaving many Canadians feeling more financial pressure at the checkout line and eating less healthy food to save money — something that could lead to serious impacts on our health.
Canada is now in the grips of a growing food insecurity crisis, with many low-income and fixed-income households faced with the difficult decision to either pay their bills or put food on the table at a time when even the price of staple items has skyrocketed.
A public hearing will be held Saturday to allow Ottawa residents to describe their experiences during last winter’s “Freedom Convoy” occupation downtown.
The Ottawa People’s Commission on the Convoy Occupation has been conducting an inquiry of its own into the convoy. The group says it wants to put the spotlight back on what Ottawa residents endured during the three-week protest.
Ottawa is a foreign country populated by grifters on the public tit.
MONTREAL – Canada has seen a spike in the number of Mexicans seeking asylum here this year, with the vast majority of them coming to Montreal. They say they are fleeing Mexico in search of jobs and safety, but statistics show most applicants from the country are rejected.
Ricardo Santos, 28, arrived at Montréal-Trudeau International Airport on Oct. 4. He says that although he did not know much about Canada, there was a direct flight to Montreal from Mexico City.
“I left because there is no work and there is a lot of violence,” Santos said in a recent interview outside a downtown YMCA, where he was staying while his refugee application was processed. “Mexico is becoming a more dangerous country.”
Canadian taxpayers could be on the hook for $2.4 billion because of a pandemic loan relief program, according to a Blacklock’s Reporter story.
The loss was projected though cabinet extended a payment holiday for business borrowers to Dec. 31, 2023.
It never ends with these crooks, their greed is never sated.
There was a time, not too long ago, when tent cities plagued by violence and disorder were a phenomenon reserved almost exclusive to the most troubled corners of Vancouver or Toronto.
But now, they’re virtually everywhere.
Young Iranians are filming themselves knocking turbans off clerics’ heads to protest the country’s draconian hijab mandate.
In one clip that has gone viral, a young woman is seen running up to a man in a traditional robe from behind and delivering a powerful blow to the back of his white turban, causing it to fall on the ground.
The woman runs away without looking back, while the bare-headed Muslim clergyman stoops to pick up his headdress.

Twelve months ago, during the pandemic housing boom, the suburbs of Langley and Mission were deluged with buyers. Anxious bidding wars ensued.
Spurred on by the dream of working remotely, the desire for more living space, unusually high government stimulus and chronically elevated values in core Metro Vancouver, buyers — including investors — were manically driving up prices in the Fraser Valley by more than 20 per cent compared to a year earlier.
The Trudeau government is going to spend billions of taxpayers’ dollars subsidizing risky investments in green energy projects in order to compete for business with the United States.
That was the reality, as opposed to the rhetoric, contained in Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s fall economic statement on Thursday.
Letting meat eaters drown is ethical because of the suffering they cause to animals, an Oxford University academic has controversially argued.
Dr Michael Plant, a philosopher focusing on happiness, who eats meat himself, claims that, according to some moral philosophies, it can be justifiable to let people like himself die.
His argument stems from a conflict of what he says are two commonly held beliefs.
Lingering lessons from terrorist Nidal Hasan’s mass murder at Fort Hood.
The U.S. Army plans to rename Fort Hood, Texas, a 214,968-acre base “ideal for multifaceted training and testing of military units and troops.” The name change does not alter reality of a terrorist attack that marks an anniversary three days before the midterm election.
At Fort Hood on November 5, 2009, U.S. Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan murdered 13 unarmed American soldiers and support personnel and wounded more than 40 others. The massacre marked a failure of political and military leadership, but there was more to it.
