OTTAWA, Ont. — As Canada’s Parliament resumes for its fall sitting, with a new opposition leader in place, one question lurks in the background: How long will it last?
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority government is being propped up by the left-leaning New Democratic Party in an agreement that could keep the Liberals in power until 2025 in exchange for progress on key NDP priorities, including a federal dental care plan.
College campuses are now wasting money to validate feelings of anxiety over climate change.
You can insert your own “snowflake” punchline, but this is not a joke.
On September 12, The Washington Post highlighted the “critical” need for what it called “climate stress counseling services” at universities across the country.
The Government of India has issued a warning to Indian nationals and students living in Canada about an increase in “hate crimes, sectarian violence, and anti-India activities” in the country, urging their citizens to exercise caution.

Oakville teacher’s attire warrants professional standards review: Lecce
The Ontario College of Teachers has been asked to review its standards for professionalism in light of an Oakville teacher’s controversial appearance in classrooms, Education Minister Stephen Lecce says.
Waste of time and money. The Ontario College Of Teachers approve of this crap.
(Reuters) — Canada’s federal government will likely drop its COVID-19 vaccine requirement for people entering Canada at the end of the month, a government source said on Tuesday.
The source, who was not authorized to speak on the record, said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was “likely” to drop the vaccination requirement on Sept. 30. The Globe and Mail newspaper reported the news earlier on Tuesday.

A left-wing non-governmental organization (NGO) partially funded by billionaire George Soros is behind a lawsuit targeting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for flying illegal aliens to the elite coastal island of Martha’s Vineyard.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is willing to help ensure women in the United States who want an abortion can get one.
“We will make sure we continue to fight for better health and reproductive rights all around the world. It used to mean being there to fight for health and reproductive rights in the global south. We’ll help out in the United States if we need to as well,” Trudeau told reporters at the United Nations on Wednesday.
Maybe he thinks he’s running in the mid-terms?
The scandal around Patricia Schlesinger, former head of Berlin-based broadcaster RBB, has refocused attention on Germany’s complicated network of public broadcasters. Here’s how they’re organized.
It’s much worse than the pic shows. Canada seems bent on a similar set up.
But there are indeed a relatively large number of public broadcasters in Germany, including 21 TV channels and as many as 83 radio stations, funded mainly through the Rundfunkbeitrag levy (literally “broadcast contribution”). Currently set at €18.36 ($18.83) per month, each household in Germany is obliged to pay this fee, which brings in over €8 billion a year. While Deutsche Welle is also publicly funded, its budget comes directly from the federal government, rather than the Rundfunkbeitrag.
It’s an interesting read. Attempts to defund Germany’s media octopus have been dismissed as populist by “journalists.”
THERE is nothing quite like a leftie MP with their head in the sand. But that is what we have with the great case of Claudia Webbe.
Ms Webbe is the MP for Leicester East and, given what is going on in her constituency in recent weeks, it is not surprising that she should try to speak out.
… And what does Corbynite MP Claudia warn about? She has said the Government needs to clamp down on “extremist right-wing ideology” being spread online.
Virtually every single MP in Westminster is responsible for the ethnic and religious violence seen in Leicester.
They decided to go down the road of diversity and multiculturalism.
Our politicians have done this to our great country.

Pierre Poilievre must make an appeal to Canada’s political centre if he wants to win government, former prime minister Brian Mulroney says he told the new Conservative Leader this week over dinner.
Recounting the three-hour Monday gathering at Stornoway, the residence of the leader of the Official Opposition, Mr. Mulroney said Mr. Poilievre can only go so far with his own caucus and constituencies, and therefore has to go beyond them.
“You have got to go fish where the fish are and so we talked about that,” Mr. Mulroney said in an interview with The Globe and Mail on Thursday. “You only win elections in Canada from the centre. You cannot win an election from either extreme. This has been proven time and time again. And anyone who wants to test that theory? Be my guest.”
Barely in office two weeks and already the shift to the mushy middle.
Records show an RCMP blacklist of bank account holders identified as part of the Freedom Convoy movement was sent by email to lobbyists, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

Canada is a Banana Republic.

On the evening of Feb. 7, a Chinese woman studying in Canada called a police hotline in a panic.

In Fuzhou, the capital of southeast China’s Fujian province, police tracked the fraudster to the city’s Taijiang district. The man, surnamed Lin, eventually confessed to scamming nine victims out of more than $3,700.
3 in the GTA? Shouldn’t they be shut down? Let’s ask Xi’s lickspittle Trudeau.
