Canadians are split on what they think should happen when a member of Parliament decides to change political parties, a new poll suggests.
The survey of just over 1,000 people was conducted by Nanos Research for The Globe and Mail shortly after the Liberals secured a majority government in April, following three by-elections and five MPs crossing the floor since November.
If you want a snapshot of how far Britain has drifted from its liberal inheritance, consider the spectacle of a 78 year-old grandfather and retired pastor being warned by police that he must not preach from the Bible within a public area. His offence was not harassment, obstruction or intimidation. It was reciting and commentating on a verse many learned as children: “For God so loved the world…”
Clive Johnston’s alleged crime was breaching a ‘buffer zone’ around a hospital which houses a sexual health clinic where abortions are performed – despite the fact it was a Sunday afternoon when there were no scheduled abortions, and he made no reference whatsoever to abortion, nor motherhood, nor babies.
OTTAWA — A senior New Democratic Party parliamentarian has formally demanded that the Carney government release the full text of its secret law enforcement agreement with China’s Ministry of Public Security, echoing a set of facts The Bureau has been reporting for months, while warning that Ottawa’s continued refusal to disclose the deal is fueling legitimate fear among diaspora communities who have experienced or fear transnational repression by the Chinese state.
THERE’S a perverse irony in that a notorious hate preacher heading for the Finsbury Park Mosque or Darul Uloom in Bury to pray for the eradication of the Jewish race will have a UK immigration officer stamp his passport with a welcoming smile and wave him merrily on his way.
Arrive at the same desk as a cultured, civilised Christian democrat, hoping to share a message of hope, brotherhood – and perhaps warning – with a vast crowd of British patriots? Prepare yourself for several silent hours in a stark, locked room before being marched by grim-faced British oberleutnants and thrust on to a return flight home.
In less than four minutes on a Thursday afternoon, Ontario lawmakers voted to drastically restrict more than 40 years’ worth of government information that had previously been routinely available to reporters, researchers and the public.
I know, because a provincial officer told me as much last week.
Remix News, the indispensable and unique news source chronicling the manifold glories of mass Muslim migration and multiculturalism in Europe, ran a video on Sunday containing the testimony of Celine, a 22-year-old girl in France, who“describes how two North African immigrants sexually harassed and threatened her and her friend.”
Celine recounted that one of the migrants said to one of the young women: “I’m going to rape you, dirty white girl… You’re scared, dirty white girl?”
An elementary school in Winnipeg will send students home with “family gifts” this week, instead of traditional Mother’s Day and Father’s Day presents, part of a new trend among some Canadian schools downplaying or eliminating the traditional parental celebrations.
Grade 1 and 2 teachers at Sage Creek School in Winnipeg informed parents of the change last week, just days before Mother’s Day.
An active CIA agent has accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of orchestrating a cover-up that derailed American spies from blaming the Covid pandemic on China.
CIA officer James Erdman told senators on Capitol Hill that in August 2021, the intelligence community was on the verge of concluding the pandemic leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China.
But just days before the bombshell finding could be released, Fauci ‘injected himself’ into the probe and ‘significantly influenced’ intelligence officials to drop their conclusion. Fauci was then head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
There’s always that one friend who talks big but doesn’t show up when it counts.
Which raises a question: Is that friend really a friend?
For Ontario firearm owners and taxpayers, that friend is Premier Doug Ford.
And upset his Liberal-NDP base? No way?
PVV leader Geert Wilders has called on Dutch municipalities to take legal action against the asylum distribution law, known in the Netherlands as the Spreidingswet. He made the appeal during a parliamentary debate with Christian Democratic Asylum and Migration Minister Bart van den Brink, which arose after several protests against asylum centres across the country, including unrest in Loosdrecht, Aalsmeer, IJsselstein, Den Bosch, and Apeldoorn.
Wilders said he rejects violence at demonstrations. At the same time, he defended the broader resistance to the law. According to him, the Spreidingswet forces municipalities to provide asylum centres in places where people do not want them, and he called on the minister to withdraw the law.
Tweet translation – For all those who think people from Loosdrecht are right-wing extremist tokies. Without democratic input, these people are being told that 110 displaced men are coming. displaced men who now and then cause this kind of thing at the places where they stay. This is now and then reality!
voor allen die mensen uit Loosdrecht rechtsextremistische tokie’s vinden. Zonder democratische inspraak krijgen deze mensen te horen dat er 110 ontheemde mannen komen. ontheemde mannen die dit zo nu en dan aanrichten op de plek waar zij verblijven. Dit is zo nu en dan realiteit! pic.twitter.com/gnKHD4PK2E

While B.C.’s human rights code notionally protects people on the basis of political belief, this didn’t help a Simon Fraser University political science professor who was denied a job over his lack of support for DEI. Indeed, the tribunal decided in April not to give the matter a hearing.
Josh Gordon had taught at the SFU policy school from 2014 to 2021 on various contracts. He applied for a tenure-track position in 2021, but, despite having positive student reviews, a history of teaching in the faculty (contract renewals and pay increases indicated he was performing well) and a point of view that added diversity to the policy school, he was shut down.
In February, President Trump joked at a closed-door Alfalfa Club dinner, “We’re not going to invade Greenland. We’re going to buy it.”
Alas there is no Buckwheat Club or even a Spanky Club.
He explained, “It’s never been my intention to make Greenland the 51st state. I want to make Canada the 51st state. Greenland will be the 52nd state. Venezuela can be 53rd.”

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said her government would appeal a court ruling on Wednesday that struck down the approval of an independence petition that could have forced a separation vote in the province.
In two decisions posted on Wednesday, Justice Sheila Leonard ruled that Alberta’s chief electoral officer Gordon McClure wrongfully approved the petition given an earlier ruling that found the separation question would violate First Nations’ treaty rights. She also found that the Crown had failed in its duty to consult with applicants Piikani Nation, Siksika Nation, Blood Tribe and Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation.
Lady Elaine Fairchild, also known as Rod Stewart, complimented King Charles on his trip to America, noting he put that “rat bag in his place.”
I was unaware that he met with Adam Schiff?
