Justin Trudeau Exempts Saudi Arabian Oil From Carbon Taxes
A rhetorical question published by the Toronto Star speaks volumes on the topic of energy and oil production in Canada:
“How come you[PM Justin Trudeau] have exempted it[Saudi Arabia] from your carbon tax and are not subjecting Saudi oil to the same environmental regulations you have imposed on Western Canadian oil?”
“It couldn’t be because most Saudi oil is destined for Quebec? You’re supposed to be in a battle with the Saudis, yet an objective outside observer might think you’re at war with Alberta.”
Canada On Track To Exceed Lofty 2022 Immigration Target
Canada is on track to exceed its immigration goal of granting permanent residency to more than 430,000 people in 2022, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said on Wednesday.
Fraser, speaking to reporters in Vancouver, also announced a plan to hire up to 1,250 workers to tackle a record high number of immigration applicants.

One journalist who has felt the full effect of this is Rupa Subramanya.
She was attacked by legacy media journalists after reporting on court documents showing Canada’s travel restrictions were not based in science.
She joined True North’s Andrew Lawton to discuss her recent article, how she came to write it, and how she went from a supporter of vaccine mandates to one of their largest critics.
