Canada lost 42,000 jobs in August, StatsCan says

Canada lost 42,000 jobs in August, Statistics Canada said Friday, contrary to economists’ expectations, while the unemployment rate was unchanged at 6.4 per cent.

Statistics Canada said the number of public sector workers fell by 20,000, declining for a third consecutive month. Jobs were little-changed in the private sector.

By region, Quebec was hardest hit, losing 19,000 jobs. Ontario followed with a loss of 18,000.

Statcan’s reporting is suspect as told only weeks ago…

Canada’s Job Market Is Booming If You Ignore Population Revisions

Canada’s economy is booming, as long as you ignore the actual data and upcoming revisions. Statistics Canada’s (StatCan) latest Labour Force Survey (LFS) shows seasonally adjusted employment climbed by 75,000 jobs in July. The unseasoned reality was a little less savoury, showing a 6-digit decline in the same month, along with rising unemployment. The picture may be even worse than presented, with a Big Six bank projecting substantial upward revisions to population estimates in just a few weeks.

The Left is gaslighting you about Abdul el Sayed’s 9/11 posts

In the United States, there are numerous criminal actions that will earn you a deserved spot among the lowest of the low. Beyond the world of law enforcement, however, there are other social and cultural wrongdoings that in this country, you just don’t do, or else risk the dreaded backlash.

This week, CBS’s Bari Weiss apparently committed the worst of all these social crimes, and her victim was Abdul el Sayed.

Yuan Yi Zhu: Carney’s contemptuous jaunt to EU Parliament before Canada’s

When Germany invaded Poland on Sept. 1, 1939, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King reacted by immediately recalling Parliament, which was not due to sit for another month, and ask for its blessing before declaring war on Germany. On the first day of the special session, King tabled copies of documents relative to the outbreak of the war, so that the House of Commons would know the basis on which war was being declared.

Lindsay Clancy judge to declare mistrial — but grants lawyer Hail Mary bid to appeal

PLYMOUTH, Mass. – A judge is set to declare a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial Friday on the seventh day of deliberations — but gave her defiant lawyer just one hour to file an emergency appeal against the ruling.

The 12-person jury – made up of nine women and three men – told Judge William Sullivan that they could not agree on whether to convict Clancy, 36, of three counts of first-degree murder.

What did she see? The intelligence scramble to retrace an accused spy’s footsteps

Several Western intelligence agencies were sent scrambling this summer to figure out what — if anything — of value an accused Canadian spy managed to access during internships at multiple agencies and government departments.

Biwei Zhang, a Canadian intern at NATO military’s headquarters in Mons, Belgium, was arrested by Belgian authorities in July on suspicion of espionage and communicating with a foreign crime entity. She has been held in pretrial detention since being taken into custody and was this week denied an appeal for release.

How vulnerable is Germany’s infrastructure?

On Tuesday morning, unknown perpetrators attempted to attack the power supply near the coal-fired power plant at Jänschwalde in the eastern state of Brandenburg, partly succeeding in their objective. Then, later the same evening, a substation near Cologne suffered a disruption in what is believed to have been an act of sabotage.

On Wednesday, an explosion occurred near the railway station in the Bavarian city of Augsburg, caused by a hand grenade, according to investigators.

Dad stabbed to death in front of his toddler at Starbucks for asking stranger to stop smoking weed… now Canadian judge has let killer off lightly

A Canadian man who fatally stabbed a father in front of his three-year-old daughter has been convicted of manslaughter rather than second-degree murder.

British Columbia Supreme Court Justice Kathleen Ker made the shocking decision on Wednesday in the trial of Inderdeep Singh Gosal, 34, who has admitted to stabbing Paul Schmidt, 37, six times in the torso and neck on March 26, 2023, CTV News reports.

But surveillance footage from the scene proved Schmidt was the initial aggressor, Ker ruled, saying the victim was ‘sinewy, agile and able’ and he ‘readily adopted a fighting stance’ while starting the physical altercation outside a downtown Vancouver Starbucks by ‘quickly advancing on Mr Gosal.’

Randall Denley: It’s not worth a trade war to save Ontario’s foreign-owned car plants

The future of Ontario’s auto sector has become a major sticking point in trade negotiations with the U.S. For Ontario Premier Doug Ford, auto parts and manufacturing must be preserved at all costs.

It’s easy to see why Ford, elected on a promise of job protection, would champion the highly visible auto sector, but is this the right battle to fight?

Blundering Canadian officials gave millions of taxpayer cash to son of Iranian vice president who helped Islamic Republic develop MISSILES

Canadian officials shelled out millions of dollars worth of contracts to the son of a former Iranian vice president even as they were investigating allegations he helped develop missile systems for the Islamic Republic.

Mohammad Reza Ghafouri Fard, 45, founded two companies in Alberta, Edmonton under the name ‘Sal Ghafouri’ that have received more than $2 million Canadian dollars [$1,446,370] in federal contracts, including from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Department of National Defense, Global News reports.

He was even reportedly part of an official Canadian trade mission to Latin America, received a federal business grant and was invited to ‘propose legislation’ to the Alberta government.

Retirement Is Dead

Not long ago, while shopping for running shoes at MEC, I asked for help getting sized. As an employee strode up to assist me, I realized I knew him: Steve, a talented writer around my age whose work I’d read for years. I asked how he was doing. His answer: “I’m selling shoes.”

Saab intensifies pitch to sell Gripen jets to Canada, promising assortment of benefits

In the final-assembly hall for the Saab Gripen fighter jet in the Swedish city of Linkoping, the flags of Saab’s eight customer countries hang above the production line. A ninth spot holds a white banner reading, in red capital letters, RESERVED.

Asked whether it was for Canada, a Saab official smiled, shrugged and said nothing.

Behind the scenes, though, Saab is pulling out all the stops in order to put Canada’s name on the banner.
