Former Liberal MP Wants To Ban Fox News In Canada

Former Liberal MP Adam Vaughan has called for Fox News to be taken off the air in Canada for its supportive coverage of the Freedom Convoy.

In a tweet on Wednesday showing a clip from Tucker Carlson Tonight, Vaughan claimed that the American news network served as the gold standard for Conservative Party of Canada MPs wanting to talk to their base, saying “this is the show they lineup to get on.”

Canada Announces Trade Action Against Russia, More Lethal Aid And New Immigration Streams For Ukrainians

Canada will be opening new ways for Ukrainians to seek refuge in this country and is sending additional lethal aid for Ukraine to use in the ongoing Russian-launched war. The government is also taking major trade action against Russia and is calling for the country to be suspended from international criminal policing organization Interpol.

The General Rise In Prices Worries The Bank Of Canada

Even before Moscow launched its troops to storm Europe, grocery prices had risen 6.5% in January, and inflation in the goods sector stood at 7.2 %.

If the price of food tends to increase regularly, this is not the case for the price of goods which has not made such a jump since January 1983.

Putin Says Fight Against ‘Neo-Nazis’ In Ukraine Going ‘According To Plan’

In a televised meeting with his security council Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the fight against “neo-Nazis” in Ukraine was going “according to plan”. His comments seemed designed to rebut assessments that a fierce Ukrainian resistance had slowed Russia’s initial battle plan. On the frontlines, Russian forces increased pressure on Mariupol and Kharkiv after Kherson became the first Ukrainian city to fall.

Biden Admin Postpones Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Test Launch To Avoid Angering Putin

Such provocative rhetoric and possible changes to nuclear posture involving the most consequential weapons in our respective arsenals is unacceptable. The United States has not taken any similar steps. And so in an effort to demonstrate that we have no intention in engaging in any actions that can be misunderstood or misconstrued, the secretary of defense has directed that our Minuteman-III intercontinental ballistic missile test launch scheduled for this week to be postponed.

Understanding the military realities regarding Ukraine

When it comes to a surprise attack against another country, there are two schools of thought. First, you can attack with 100% of your military strength to subdue the country instantly. Call it the “ripping off the Band-Aid” or the “shock and awe” approach to conquest. Second, you can go in with some delicacy to see how much pushback you’re going to get from the country before you commit your best troops, especially if you’d like to keep civilian casualties to a minimum.

‘Afghan Adjustment Act’ Would Legalize 36,000 Unvetted Afghans

Don’t ask questions, just give them their citizenship.

Biden’s evacuation brought tens of thousands of Afghans to America.

The majority of them were not interpreters, had no visas, and no basis for entering the country. Despite that, they were rapidly brought here with virtually no vetting, dropped off at military bases, and then put through the resettlement process across the United States.

There’s no one problem.

China Asked Russia to Delay Ukraine Invasion until after Beijing Olympics: Report

Chinese authorities reportedly requested in early February that Russia wait to launch its invasion of Ukraine until after the Beijing Olympics, according to a Western intelligence report described to the New York Times by senior Biden administration officials and a European official.

Western intelligence officials familiar with the report told the Times that it details conversations between senior Russians and Chinese officials in the run up to Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. CNN subsequently confirmed the report’s authenticity, though different intelligence agencies reportedly had different interpretations of the exchanges between the Kremlin and Beijing.

Could Russian mercenaries conquer the world?

The Wagner Group’s tentacles stretch beyond Ukraine

Four days before the invasion of Ukraine, an eerily prescient documentary aired on France 5. Le monde en face:Wagner, l’armée de l’ombre de Poutine assiduously tracks the activities of the Russian President’s “shadow army”: the Wagner Group, which arranges military “solutions” for the Kremlin. Since the film was broadcast, members of the 6,000-strong mercenary organisation have been deployed to Ukraine. Their orders: to kill President Zelenskyy and dismember his government.

Is journalism really having a ‘good war’?

Or has too much reporting from Ukraine emphasised emotionalism over analysis?

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is an historic international crisis that demands serious reporting of what’s happening and sober analysis of why. But is the war always getting the war journalism it deserves?

British and Western journalists covering the conflict have been widely praised. There is an apparent consensus that journalism is, as the old saying goes, ‘having a good war’.

‘Everybody’s Not Muslim Here’: N.J. Man Complains About Call to Prayer Broadcast Over Loudspeakers

A 57-year-old man named Edward Wright is being investigated for possible commission of a hate crime and has been charged with simple assault and bias intimidation after he walked into a mosque in Paterson, N.J. to complain about the adhan, the Islamic call to prayer, being broadcast over loudspeakers. If Wright is guilty, he should receive the due penalty for his crimes. At the same time, any controversy over the broadcast of the adhan in American cities is being dismissed as “bigotry” and “hate,” while reality, as is always the case with Leftist propaganda, is more complicated.

Melinda Gates slams Bill for continuing to meet ‘evil’ Jeffrey Epstein after she told him NOT to and suggests he had MULTIPLE affairs throughout their 27-year marriage

Melinda Gates trashed her ex-husband Bill for his questionable friendship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and revealed that he continued to meet with him despite her having ‘nightmares’ about him.

In her first interview since her divorce from the billionaire last year, Melinda told CBS Mornings that she insisted on meeting Epstein back in 2011 because she wanted to see ‘who this man was’.

‘I did not like that he had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein. I made that clear to him. I also met Jeffrey Epstein exactly one time. I wanted to see who this man was and I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door.

Putin understands America’s moral decay

He and Xi Jinping think we’re weak and dissolving from within. Could they be right?

Last October, Vladimir Putin aired a speech to the Russian nation chiding the United States for its moral decay. He observed an America “blotting out whole pages” of its history, pursuing “reverse discrimination against the majority in the interests of minorities,” and renouncing time-honored values in an effort at “public renewal.”

“It’s their right, but we are asking them to steer clear of our home,” he warned. “We have a different viewpoint.” This iteration of family values and conservative critique went barely noticed by the American press at the time.

The co-founder of a Christian crowdfunding platform that organizers of a weeks-long protest in the national capital turned to for financing says he believes their efforts were largely “peaceful.”

Russia Has Suffered a Crushing Moral Defeat. And Russians Know It.

MOSCOW — Shock and shame.

That’s the response of many Russians to the sight of rockets and artillery shells hitting Ukrainian tower blocks that in their concrete uniformity could easily be in Moscow. The towns through which Russian armored vehicles are rolling, captured in shaky videos and accompanied by howls of horror, could be Voronezh or Krasnodar or any Russian city. The invasion of Ukraine is a waking nightmare, horrible and absurd.

And it’s being done in our name. Feb. 24, when President Vladimir Putin announced the invasion, is the day Russia became an outcast, despised nation, not just economically isolated but actively shunned by the rest of the world — in sports, science and most other kinds of international cooperation. Whatever military “victory” Mr. Putin might find acceptable in his twisted mind, Russia has already suffered a crushing moral defeat.

Canada prepared to welcome an ‘unlimited number’ of Ukrainians fleeing war, minister says

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser announced Thursday the federal government has created two new pathways for Ukrainians fleeing their war-torn country to come to Canada — part of a plan to accept an “unlimited number” of people who want to leave.

To start, Fraser said his department has created a new visa category that will allow a limitless number of Ukrainians to come to Canada to live, work or study here for up to two years.

People accepted under the Canada Ukraine Authorization For Emergency Travel program will have an open work or study permit and employers will be free to hire as many Ukrainians as they want.

Rex Murphy: Tamara Lich Doesn’t Deserve the Humiliation She’s Been Subjected To

The world is naturally, and justly, absorbed in the reckless and cruel invasion of Ukraine. And anyone with even the mildest taste of history will know that Ukraine for much of the last 100 years has been a site of great cruelties imposed by communism and its most savage tyrant Stalin. Putin is doing his best to offer some rivalry to that demented butcher.
