The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board holds investments in ByteDance, the Chinese company whose TikTok video-sharing app was just banned on government-issued devices by Ottawa due to security concerns.
The pension board currently lists ByteDance under its holdings in the “Private Equity Asia” category on its website.
A young female student who refused to enter an arranged marriage was brutally murdered by her uncle with a metal spike in her chest in a suspected ‘honour killing,’ a court has heard.
Somaiya Begum was found with the 11cm-long ‘Bradawl’ tool – a sharpened metal woodwork implement – stuck in the right side of her chest.
Prosecutors allege the 20-year-old’s uncle, Mohammed Taroos Khan, used the tool to kill her.
The Trudeau government has made transport electrification a shining star of industrial policy. Not only is Ottawa willing to pick and choose the technologies of the future, its ready to pick and choose the subsidiary activities needed to bring those electric dreams into reality.
OTTAWA — Opposition parties are set to propose a motion Wednesday calling on the Trudeau government to establish a public inquiry into foreign interference in recent federal elections, the National Post has learned.
Several media reports over the last few weeks, citing government intelligence sources, have suggested there was a dedicated effort by the Chinese government to interfere in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
Raquel Evita Saraswati, the chief equity, inclusion, and culture officer of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), a Quaker charity, resigned from her position on Monday following revelations that she had misrepresented herself as “Latinx” and Arabic.
Treat human life as anything less than sacred, and humanity is rapidly dehumanized.
Canada’s MAiD, like all medical homicide programs, is the metaphorical foot in the door, an obstinate wedge, breaking the seal of a once-closed divider. Or we call it what it is (genocide), and MAiD is like an axe-wielding Jack Nicholson in The Shining.
The radical activist’s ‘settler’ roots remind us why no one should feel guilty about the actions of their ancestors.
Angela Davis’ encounter with her own ancestry has unwittingly exposed the follies of America’s reparations debate.
The name Angela Davis is a by-word for black radicalism in America. While a student at Brandeis University in the 1960s, she joined the Black Panther Party and also the Communist Party USA. She studied under Professor Herbert Marcuse, a living link between German Marxism and American liberation movements. In 1969, she was fired from a teaching post in California for being a Communist, at the order of then governor Ronald Reagan.
New government intelligence that found that the coronavirus pandemic was most likely caused by an accidental laboratory leak ignited criticism of mainstream news outlets that insisted the theory was “debunked,” including the New York Times, CNN and MSNBC.
“How many employees of media corporations who repeatedly mocked the COVID ‘lab leak’ theory as a ‘debunked’ lie that only insane conspiracy theorists believe (because Fauci told them to say that) will apologize now that much of the USG (US government) believes this?” tweeted Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald.
The Canadian government’s top scientist has launched a study into unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP: a term that is replacing “UFO” and “unidentified flying object” in official circles.
Known as the “Sky Canada Project,” the study, being conducted by the Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada, is the first known official Canadian UFO research effort in nearly 30 years.
According to a February 2023 PowerPoint presentation obtained by CTVNews.ca, the study seeks to understand how UAP reports are handled in Canada, and to offer recommendations for improvements if needed.
This once reliably vocal faction has gone quiet
As Labour prepares for government, Keir Starmer has cracked down on dissidents and fringe groups within the party. More insidious, perhaps, is the decline of what was once a reliable and vocal faction: the anti-war Left. At the weekend Clive Lewis, MP for Norwich South and stalwart of the Labour Left, questioned the Ministry of Defence over its failure to provide Ukraine with used Apache helicopters in the country’s “hour of need”. This came days after John McDonnell, shadow chancellor under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, argued in a piece for Labour Hub that “a refusal to provide the weapons the Ukrainians need” would mean that “the chances of the Russian invasion succeeding are significantly increased”.
The police are too afraid to solve black murders.
In the 1960s, 90% of murders were solved. That fell to 75% in 1980, and 60% in 2000. In the year of Black Lives Matter, the homicide clearance rate fell so low that it became a ‘coin flip’.
The media reported that only 50% of murders were being solved. What was less reported was that this mainly reflected a drop in solving black murders. Homicide clearance rates for white people have actually improved since the 1980s and reached a high during the Obama administration even as black homicide clearance rates dropped catastrophically.
The case of Jim McMurtry is now well known to Canadians. He is the Abbotsford schoolteacher who told his class the truth about the claim that 215 indigenous students had been killed and secretly buried at Kamloops Indian Residential School—and was fired for it.
He said that any students who died at the school had likely succumbed to natural causes, mainly tuberculosis. Students who had heard wild stories about children tortured by priests and left in the snow to die were outraged. They complained, and McMurtry was promptly escorted from the classroom in disgrace, placed on indefinite leave, and subsequently fired.
It shouldn’t surprise when once in a while, the conditioned hypervigilant self-restraint of white society melts over in acts of Icarus-like self-destruction.
Scott Adams’ viral rant advising whites to “get the hell away” from black people has received lots of media attention. Adams compared blacks to a radicalized “hate group,” citing a poll that showed nearly half do not agree with the anodyne statement, “It’s ok to be white.” Adams, of course, was summarily purged with the usual performative outrage. No one bothered to ask the obvious question: Why should blacks believe otherwise, when they are told that America is all about them?
At work, school, and in the media, the overbearing cult of black idolatry and white guilt is the closest thing to religion that many Americans still encounter in everyday life. It has become an almost inescapable presence, so pervasive indeed that it often passes unnoticed.
Scott Adams: Now That I Have Your Attention…
OTTAWA – Two Conservative members of Parliament are remaining tight-lipped about whether they regret meeting with a German politician, which is something Pierre Poilievre has said they do.
Neither Leslyn Lewis nor Dean Allison have responded to direct questions about whether they agree with the Conservative leader’s characterization of their feelings about their choice to take part in a recent luncheon with Christine Anderson.
A three-week fight in the town of Vuhledar in southern Ukraine produced what Ukrainian officials say was the biggest tank battle of the war so far, and a stinging setback for the Russians.
KURAKHOVE, Ukraine — Before driving into battle in their mud-spattered war machine, a T-64 tank, the three-man Ukrainian crew performs a ritual.
The commander, Pvt. Dmytro Hrebenok, recites the Lord’s Prayer. Then, the men walk around the tank, patting its chunky green armor.
“We say, ‘Please, don’t let us down in battle,’” said Sgt. Artyom Knignitsky, the mechanic. “‘Bring us in and bring us out.’”
