Hundreds of Freedom Convoy protesters who had their assets frozen under the Emergencies Act for donating to the movement’s fundraiser will have their bank accounts marked for life, a Commons finance committee has heard.
Russia Should Worry: The US Military Has Activated Its Strategic Materiel Stockpile
For the past weeks, the 405th Army Field Support Brigade has been preparing for the incoming troops by activating the Army Prepositioned Stock-2 sites, which are capable of outfitting an entire armored brigade combat team.
The strategic reserves at the Army Prepositioned Stock-2 sites include hundreds of M1 Abrams tanks, M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, Paladin M109A6 self-propelled howitzers, supply trucks, and other vehicles.
A wake-up call for Canada’s military reserves strategy
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine risks creating a global military conflagration for which Canada is depressingly unprepared.
For decades, while geopolitical tensions have mounted around the globe, Canada’s defence spending has fallen, dropping from two per cent of GDP in 1990, to 1.3 per cent in 2019, leaving our militarily ill-equipped nation incapable of purchasing a single fighter jet after 13 years of trying or replacing military pistols from the Second World War, and one that fails to live up to its past as a leading international peacekeeper.
Senate Unanimously Passes Anti-Lynching Bill Inspired by Jussie Smollett Hate Hoax
Republicans and Democrats in the Senate came together unanimously on Monday to expand federal hate crime laws by passing an “anti-lynching” bill inspired by the “attempted modern day lynching” of Jussie Smollett three years ago in MAGA country.

‘Simply Not True’: Biden Says He Isn’t Holding Back US Energy Production
President Joe Biden said his administration hasn’t prevented domestic energy production, even after more than a year of pushing policies designed to phase out fossil fuels.
Ukraine’s Military Is Turning Volunteers Away Because A Whopping 140,000 Ukrainians Have Come Home From Abroad To Fight
This is some serious stepping up to the plate right here.
The Left Isn’t Letting the Ukraine Crisis Go to Waste
The Biden administration is doing everything possible to exploit the Ukraine crisis without doing anything to actually stop it. Its policies are a laundry list of leftist agendas that cynically betray the people fighting and dying on the ground without doing anything to actually halt the invasion.
America has become a nation of lies
America has become a nation of pernicious lies, and it is increasingly mandatory that the citizens not only embrace the lies, but also espouse and defend them. Those who dare refuse to comply are ostracized and publicly castigated by the led-by-the-nose politically correct, who are as legitimately ignorant as they are illegitimate to all that made America a nation of godly values.
Rex Murphy: ‘Slippages’ in democracy? Justin Trudeau knows a lot about that
Justin Trudeau, not much or frequently given to philosophizing on world affairs, recently gave an address to the Ukrainian community in Etobicoke, Ont. Inevitably it was about Vladimir Putin’s savage war against Ukraine. And yet it had a perhaps unintended reference to our own country.
Paul Krugman dreams up nonexistent Biden economic success story
On cue, Paul Krugman, a New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize-winning economist, expressed his frustration last Thursday at the apparent disconnect between the public’s perceptions of the economic health of the country and the statistics.
I say “on cue” because President Joe Biden’s approval rating remains in the dumpster. The poor economy is one major reason.
Not so, according to Krugman. The economy is “booming,” said Krugman. He noted that Biden’s recent State of the Union made that clear. Last year, the United States added 6.5 million jobs, which was more than ever created in a single year. Krugman fact-checks these claims and declares them “entirely correct.” Of course, to any sensible person, these added jobs were not created in any sense of the word. The economy is still, by most employment measures, attempting to recover from the 2020 lockdowns and the associated transfer of wealth from Main Street to Wall Street.
A UFC fighter makes a stunning statement about the US and the Ukraine war
For reasons that make no sense to me, a reporter asked UFC fighter (and champion) Bryce Mitchell what he thinks about events in Ukraine. I mean, with all due respect to UFC fighters, why in the world should we care what they think about events in Eastern Europe? Well, it turned out that, when it comes to Mitchell, it was worthwhile caring, because he gave a full-throated defense of American values — the primary of which is that he’ll fight like hell to defend his homeland but has no desire to be dragged into a war thousands of miles away in a repeat of Vietnam or Afghanistan. My bet is that a lot of Americans feel as he does.
Trudeau has irreparably damaged our country
Asked why he supported some protests but was determined to crush the trucker convoy, Justin Trudeau answered without hesitation: He supported — and even participated in — protests he agreed with, but he did not support — and vowed to crush — those with “unacceptable views,” that is, views he disagrees with.
Yikes! Check Out This Sex-Ed Summer Camp In Indianapolis Aimed At Kids 8-10 Years Old!
In Indianapolis, they are hosting a “Sex Ed Summer Camp” for kids aged 8-10 years old. And it is every bit as troubling and disgusting as it sounds.
Trudeau’s Canada: Businesses to Voluntarily Impose Coronavirus Apartheid on Unvaxed in Capital
Businesses in the Canadian capital city of Ottawa say they will keep the Trudeau government’s scrapped vaccine passport system, allocating certain times in which only vaccinated people may enter.
Following social media pressure, McDonald’s joins companies suspending business in Russia
On Tuesday, McDonald’s announced in a statement that it will temporarily close its more than 800 restaurants and pause all operations in Russia. The U.S.-based chain said it will continue to pay salaries of the 62,000 Russian employees who will be affected by the closure.
‘We have to do better’: More than 30,000 Afghan refugees still awaiting resettlement in Canada
As Canada prepares to welcome an influx of Ukrainian refugees fleeing Russia’s invasion, there are fears that the additional volume in refugee applications from Ukrainians could lead to further delays for Afghan refugees if the government doesn’t act.
As of March 4, Canada has only resettled 8,580 of the promised 40,000 Afghan refugees since August 2021, after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. At this rate, it would take another two years meet the target of 40,000 refugees.
