A Quebec MP has demanded to know why the Trudeau government ordered a quarter of the RCMP officers stationed in Quebec to chaperone illegal border crossers at Roxham Road rather than focus on gun trafficking.
Freeland floats scam to help Oligarch pals mitigate sanctions imposed during Ukraine “live armaments sales expo”
Western countries considering whether to let Russian oligarchs buy relief from sanctions
Western allies are considering allowing Russian oligarchs to buy their way out of sanctions and using the money to rebuild Ukraine, according to government officials familiar with the matter.
Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland proposed the idea at a G7 finance ministers’ meeting in Germany last week.
Freeland raised the issue after oligarchs spoke to her about it, one official said. The minister knows some Russian oligarchs from her time as a journalist in Moscow.
The official said the Ukrainians were aware of the discussions. The official said it’s also in the West’s interests to have prominent oligarchs disassociate themselves from Russian President Vladimir Putin, while at the same time providing funding for Ukraine.
So Freeland is working a scam to help out her Oligarch pals, lovely, I bet citizenship is on the table.
The “Neutral trade” in oil and gas between alleged adversaries was reason enough but I’ve held my nose till now. However this scam seals it and I will no longer support Canada’s efforts in support of the Ukraine. NATO unity is a sham and Europe is not worth defending, a billion Russia bound Euros a day is all I need to know.
Whatever this “live armaments sales expo” is about it ain’t Ukraine. The whole damn thing is a sham.
Mainstream media admits Trudeau’s anti-Catholic ‘mass grave’ narrative was a hoax
It is said that a picture says a thousand words; we might say that, in Trudeau’s case, a photo tells a thousand lies about a thousand graves.
Must Watch: George Soros’ Warning About ‘The End Of Civilization’ Is Too Creepy To Not Be Taken Seriously
The Hungarian-born businessman and philanthropist also suggested that autocratic regimes are on the rise, claiming that Russia and China pose “the greatest threat to open society” and the global economy heading for depression during remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“While the war rages, the fight against climate change has to take second place,” Soros said, according to the Guardian. “Yet the experts tell us that we have already fallen far behind and climate change is on the verge of becoming irreversible.”
UN special rapporteur planning trip to Canada to examine ‘human-rights situation’ of Indigenous people
Francisco Cali Tzay, the UN special rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous peoples, told The Globe and Mail he would not be investigating crimes related to the graves during his trip, a setback for the Assembly of First Nations and other groups who had called on him to conduct an independent probe.
San Francisco drops ‘chief’ from school job titles over cultural sensitivities
The San Francisco Unified School District announced Wednesday that it would no longer use the word “chief” in employee job titles due to its connection to Native American culture.
The change applies to all 10,000 current employees in the California school district, according to a report by the San Francisco Chronicle.
“While there are many opinions on the matter, our leadership team agreed that, given that Native American members of our community have expressed concerns over the use of the title, we are no longer going to use it,” district spokeswoman Gentle Blythe said in a statement.

Trudeau Climate Delegations Win Golden Pig Trophy For Worst Taxpayer Waste
The Trudeau government’s infamous climate delegations were the big winners at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF)’s 24th annual Teddy Waste Awards in Calgary on Wednesday, taking home the 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award for wasting taxpayers’ money.
CTF Alberta director Kris Sims and federal director Franco Terrazzano announced the nominees and winners at a gala-themed presentation that was live streamed by the Western Standard, honouring “the best of the worst of government waste.”
An Escalating Assault On Free Speech
Justin Trudeau appears to believe that the more polarized Canada becomes, the better his electoral fortunes will be.
That was his calculation in the 2021 election campaign, when he demonized unvaccinated Canadians and used the rights and freedoms of Canadians as a divisive political wedge.
And it’s been the subtext of his rhetorical strategy throughout his time in office.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh Claims “Aboriginal Genocide Is Ongoing”
“What has happened to Indigenous people in Canada is genocide, no question about it. There were clearly systems in place designed to kill them.“
“215 Indigenous kids were found in an unmarked mass grave. Anytime you think of unmarked mass graves, you think of a distant country where a genocide has happened. This is not a distant country, this is here in Canada, and the genocide was against Indigenous people. It is a genocide that is ongoing.”

Joe Biden Suggests Americans Owning AR-15s Are ‘Sick’ People Who Want to ‘Kill Someone’
“What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?” he asked during his speech reacting to the school shooting in Texas.
The president repeated his talking point that owners of “assault” weapons like an AR-15 did not need them for hunting unless the deer were wearing “Kevlar” body armor.
“It’s just sick,” Biden concluded.
Obamacare ‘Time Bomb’ To Hit Right Before Midterms
A temporary pandemic relief program aimed at lowering healthcare premiums under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, is set to expire unless Democrats can revive a reconciliation bill that extends the financial assistance past the end of the year. And that means striking a deal with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).
Something Stinks In Georgia
Let’s begin with a basic truth that most of the corporate media continually ignore or obscure: President Trump’s endorsement is the single most powerful force in the universe of American politics. There’s never been anything quite like it. Trump-endorsed candidates overwhelmingly prevailed in the latest GOP primaries by a margin of 24-4. In fact, President Trump is running the table on the GOP establishment in the 2022 races. His record stands at 92-7 at the moment.
Trump’s endorsement basically won the race for JD Vance in Ohio, and for Ted Budd in North Carolina. In Pennsylvania, his endorsement did the same thing for Doug Mastriano in the governor’s race. This has happened again and again in 2022. Remember, Trump’s record is 92-7.
That’s what makes the primary results in Georgia last night so curious and so suspect.
Swedish would-be ISIS fighters jailed after recruitment sting
Two Swedish brothers have been sentenced to jail for eight months after their efforts to join ISIS unravelled when their recruiter was revealed as an undercover intelligence officer.
The men, who have not been identified, were arrested in February at Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport as they tried to leave Sweden to join the combat ranks of the terrorist group.
Prosecutors produced 200 pages of messages passed to them by an unidentified foreign intelligence agency, which revealed how the pair were seeking a fighting role with ISIS.
Brooklyn man convicted of backing ISIS by recruiting members, smuggling guns
Mirsad Kandic, 40, was found guilty of conspiracy and providing material support to ISIS Tuesday after a three-week trial in Brooklyn federal court. He faces up to life in prison at his sentencing on Nov. 9.
Kandic is responsible for recruiting thousands of Westerners to fight in Syria and the Middle East, including Australian teenager and suicide bomber Jake Bilardi, who killed himself, more than 30 Iraqi soldiers and a policeman in Ramadi, Iraq, on March 11, 2015, officials allege.
France charges 18-yr-old over ISIS attack plot: Judicial source
French authorities have charged an 18-year-old man on suspicion of planning an imminent terror attack with a knife in the name of ISIS extremists, a judicial source said on Wednesday.
Initial investigations indicated that he planned to carry out a terror attack “in the name of ISIS, to which he had pledged allegiance,” said the source, who asked not to be named.
Does Anyone Really Believe in This Transgender Stuff?
But really, does anyone honestly believe that men can become women or vice-versa? Honestly, I would say that while there are plenty of people who claim to be LGBT allies and just love to virtue-signal their tolerance with pride flags, masks, and stickers, only a tiny fraction of them genuinely believe that “men can get pregnant” or that “trans women are women,” etc.
The cold logic behind Russia’s crude, nihilistic tactics in Ukraine
Russia’s offensive in the Donbas region is making slow progress. Having rushed to launch the operation to avoid giving Ukraine time to bring up new weapons from the west, Russia has found that its depleted and exhausted units are unwilling and unable to assault Ukrainian positions without incurring unacceptable losses. The Russian army has, therefore, fallen back on the mass application of artillery, destroying village after village, which they occupy after Ukrainian units withdraw.

Aaron Wudrick: Elites’ attacks on Pierre Poilievre only make him stronger
There’s a general consensus that Pierre Poilievre is the front-runner in the Conservative party leadership race. Whether you’re a Conservative (or conservative) or not, and whether you support Poilievre or not, everything from the size of the crowds at his events, to the traction of his social media messages to opinion polling suggest he’s the man to beat.
Duke professor under fire for refusing to attend ‘Maoist’ diversity training
A professor at the Duke University School of Medicine is under fire after he blasted a mandatory equity training as “Maoist political propaganda” and refused to attend.
Bryan Cullen, a professor of molecular genetics and microbiology, drew the ire of several doctoral students after he announced to his department that he would not take part in the medical school’s mandatory training put on by the Office of Institutional Equity, according to a report by the Duke Chronicle.
The True Evil of the World Economic Forum
Whenever I listen to Klaus Schwab and his Davos Death Cult buddies openly discuss their plans for world domination, I always think, “Are we really going to let another power-hungry German walk us into global conflagration?” For a while there, I believed that Western allies had endured enough death and slaughter from the first two world wars to forge an informal understanding among themselves that uncontrolled German megalomania invariably leads to malignant outcomes for all. Then came German reunification, and the nation’s inevitable economic dominance over all of Europe assured its status as the most powerful member of the European Union. All that effort to constrain the German empire’s influence went up in smoke. It turns out that it is far easier to conquer the European continent with flowery promises of “peace,” “economic integration,” and “international cooperation” than it is to send jackbooted shock troops marching past the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs-Élysées.
CDC Releases Numbers Showing BLM is Killing Black Kids
The media is pushing this misleading CDC press release because it fits the gun control agenda after the latest school shooting.
Firearms were the leading cause of death for kids one and older for the first time in 2020, the most recent year for which CDC data is available.
Why it matters: The firearm death rate among children is steadily rising, as more kids are involved in gun-related homicides like Tuesday’s mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, as well as suicides and accidents.

Liberals shouldn’t scorn unlikely political alliances
“In the grand scheme of things, this isn’t about Putin’s attack against Ukraine… It is about democracy, sovereignty — fundamentals like freedom of speech and human rights. It is about Western democracies’ ability to stand up for themselves and the values they’re built on.”
This may sound like the words of a liberal internationalist. But they come from Jimmie Åkesson, leader of the anti-immigration, Right-wing populist party, the Sweden Democrats. In the past he has equivocated when asked whether he preferred Putin to Emmanuel Macron or Joe Biden. But four days after the onset of Russia’s invasion, speaking to Sweden’s parliament, his tone was unflinching.
