“Back to Pre-9/11. But It’s Worse”

September 11, 2001 was the first time the United States had been attacked on its mainland since 1812. Nearly 3,000 people were killed. Americans reacted with determination and dignity. American flags were soon everywhere. The idea that the attacks should not go unpunished seemed unanimous. It was promptly proven that the attack came from al-Qaeda; on October 7, the US military started to crush the rear bases of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and the Taliban who housed them.

Communist China’s Mouthpiece In Canada’s Senate Plays Race Card

Yuen Pau Woo China’s Man In Canada

Senator accused of being China’s ‘mouthpiece’ worries about rise of anti-Asian racism

OTTAWA – Last June, 33 Canadian senators voted to defeat a motion decrying China’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims as a genocide.

While they all faced criticism from some quarters, only one — Sen. Yuen Pau Woo, leader of the Independent Senators Group — seems to have been singled out as an alleged stooge of China’s communist regime, told to resign and “go home.”

Last week, Woo got a similar reaction when he tweeted about the release of Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, the two Canadians arbitrarily detained by China for nearly three years in retaliation for Canada’s arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou at the behest of the United States.

Canadian snowbirds question why land border is still closed as they prepare to fly to U.S., ship their RVs

As the United States land border closure to non-essential travel drags on, patience is wearing thin for some fully vaccinated Canadian snowbirds who live in their RVs year-round.

That’s because if the U.S. side of the border remains closed next month, the snowbirds will be shelling out big bucks to fly to the U.S. and transport their RVs by land.

“It’s ridiculous,” said Laura Fordham who lives in an RV full-time with her husband, Fred. “It just does not make sense why they would let people fly, but not let people drive.”

‘Run everywhere’: Fledgling Maverick Party intends to up its game after poor results

The interim leader of the fledgling Maverick Party says it will be making some key changes after a disappointing result in last month’s federal election.

Formerly known as Wexit Canada, the party advocates for the independence of Western Canada or constitutional changes that would benefit the West. It ran 29 candidates in Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Manitoba.

It pulled in 1.4 per cent of the vote in Saskatchewan and 1.3 per cent in Alberta, but barely raised the needle in B.C., where it picked up 0.1 per cent.

“Things could have turned out better. I’m not going to try and BS you,” said interim leader Jay Hill in a recent interview with The Canadian Press.
