CHODAT: When it comes to defence, let’s stick with common sense

‘A long-distance alliance based on colonial nostalgia won’t serve Canada better than our largest trading partner next door. ‘

Let me begin by saying that this is the first time I have ever written to any news outlet — a fact that speaks volumes about the respect I have long held for the Western Standard. As a committed reader and subscriber, I have consistently trusted the WS to offer honest, grounded reporting and thoughtful analysis that stands apart from the distortions of the mainstream media.

That trust was shaken with your recent publication of Jamie Weir’s opinion piece advocating for a CANZUK alliance over closer integration with the United States.

Canada’s immigration system, once admired for its fairness and balance, has drifted into crisis

Seventeen thousand. That’s the approximate number of individuals with criminal convictions who were admitted to Canada over the past decade.The government has not disclosed how many of those convictions were for serious offences that could have otherwise barred entry.

This number, recently revealed by the CTV news and the lack of transparency, raises concerns of the integrity of our immigration system.

Food Companies Cleaning Up in Response to Trump’s MAHA Push

This week, the Trump administration’s Food and Drug Administration pressed food manufacturers to speed up their phase-out of synthetic Red No. 3, while also announcing approval of a natural blue food dye. This follows the FDA’s approval of three other natural food colors in May and a joint FDA and Department of Health and Human Services announcement in April that the administration will phase out all petroleum-based synthetic dyes from the nation’s food supply. The Trump administration stated its intention to facilitate the production of healthy food when it established the Make America Healthy Again Commission in February.

It is a win.

IRCC said its goal is to accept up to 10,000 complete applications under the federal Parents and Grandparents Program.

Canada’s envoy for combatting antisemitism Deborah Lyons leaving post early … explains why she was a dud

It’s evident why Trudeau chose this hack

OTTAWA – Canada’s special official for fighting antisemitism announced on Thursday that she is retiring her post, three months before the end of her term.

… She said her office fought antisemitism “with a vigour and passion not seen in many other countries,” and yet she leaves with concern over Canadians who feel they must pick a side when it comes to defending humanity.

“Support to one community should never mean, or be interpreted as, minimizing another community. Our value of inclusivity has at its core our ability to hold the concerns of multiple communities, in our hearts and minds,” Lyons wrote.

“It was troubling in the last few years to see our lack of patience, lack of tolerance, and inability to reach out across the gulf to one another.”

There you have it. Unable to grasp the fact Islam is a murder cult Lyons wants people to tolerate the intolerant. To their deaths if need be!

The new face of Jihad and Intifada in America

Recorded violent Jihadi and Intifada attacks by Islamic terrorists in the United States of America have been happening for about thirty five years continuing to the present time. While this phase reached its worst climax with the 9/11 2001 hijackings and bombings by Islamic terrorists of the World Trade Center in New York City and the bombing of the Pentagon in Washington DC resulting in the deaths of over 3,000 Americans, another type of “non-violent” Jihad and Intifada has been rising all over America where Muslims, often from recent immigrant communities, are to be found.

Far-Left teachers are indoctrinating children to hate the West

America’s largest teaching union is a case study in the capture of education by extreme progressive activists

The breakdown in relations between the US’s top teacher’s union, the National Education Association (NEA), and the Anti-Defamation League, a civil rights group focused on tackling anti-Semitism, reflects a deeper and dangerous takeover of education by determined activists. Besides the usual financial demands, education is increasingly seen as a means to achieve progressive, even radical “social justice”, which of course means boycotting anything connected to Israel.

The NEA is clearly taking political sides, claiming that it is pledging “to defend democracy against Trump’s embrace of fascism”. The union is also adamant in defending undocumented immigrants, opposing parental rights, and pledging to back mass demonstrations against the administration. This approach is seen by boosters as “social justice unionism”, adding political stances to the usual economic ones.

I have little regard for the ADL or the teachers and their unions. Both are extremist left wing entities that embrace DEI/CRT.

Palestinians’ Latest Scam: Hamas Can Become a ‘Political Party’

According to reports in some media outlets, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has called on the Iran-backed Hamas terror group to “surrender its weapons to the Palestinian Authority.”

Abbas was quoted as saying: “Hamas will not rule the Gaza Strip.” His comment came long after the current war, which began on October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas terrorists and “ordinary” Palestinians invaded Israel, and murdered 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals and wounded thousands. Another 251 Israelis and foreign nationals were kidnapped to the Gaza Strip, where 50 – alive and dead – are still held captive.

In Canada they’re called the Liberal Party.

CBS, NPR CEO Team Up To Mourn ‘Tremendous Tragedy’ After Senate Defunds

Truth is not necessary

After the Senate passed President Trump’s rescission package early Thursday morning that, among other things, clawed back federal funding for PBS and NPR, CBS Mornings teed up an interview it did with NPR CEO Katherine Maher, who claimed the move “would be a tremendous tragedy.”

They live in the same bubble the CBC inhabits championing marginal viewpoints as mainstream.

Carney promises First Nations leaders prosperity for ‘generations to come’ with your money at summit on major projects

Prime Minister Mark Carney promised First Nations rights-holders wealth and prosperity for “generations to come” at a summit Thursday designed to allay leaders’ concerns about the government’s major projects law, which has ignited criticism because it allows for fast-tracked approvals.

Carney said the law, known as Bill C-5 before its passage through Parliament in June, is designed to “connect and transform our national economy” at a time when the country is facing threats from U.S. President Donald Trump.

He said the potential benefits that come from building new railways, ports and energy “corridors” will flow to First Nations because “Indigenous economic growth is at the centre” of this new framework.

Oh c’mon it’s always the tax payer who picks up the tab.

‘Heads Should Roll’: Experts Urge Action on Microsoft-China Pentagon Link

A new report claims that Microsoft has used Chinese engineers to maintain U.S. Defense Department computers, which would present a major national security threat. Experts want Microsoft’s borderline “treasonous behavior” investigated, in comments shared with PJ Media.

ProPublica published an investigation July 15 that claimed “Microsoft is using engineers in China to help maintain the Defense Department’s computer systems — with minimal supervision by U.S. personnel.” While it is not certain that the report is true, Microsoft does have operations and connections in China, and the Biden administration did allow far too many loopholes for potential foreign infiltration, which is one reason why the Trump administration has such a major task ahead in cleaning out the federal government.
