The high inflation bout affecting Canadians is not transitory nor mostly tied to a global phenomena, two economics experts told the House finance committee on March 21, but it is instead the product of domestic monetary and fiscal policies.
“Inflation is indeed a global problem, but our inflation problem is very much made at home here in Canada,” testified Vivek Dehejia, associate professor of economics and philosophy at Carleton University.
Charest has the edge in Ontario over Conservative leadership rival Poilievre, poll suggests
A new poll released today suggests former Quebec premier Jean Charest has the advantage in the all-important electoral battleground of Ontario over Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre, his primary adversary in the Conservative leadership race.
The Angus Reid Institute poll, which surveyed 5,105 Canadians from March 10-15, also found Charest is the favoured candidate among people who’ve voted Liberal in the past.
Russia’s false accusation that Ukraine has biological and chemical weapons is a “clear sign” that a desperate Vladimir Putin is considering using them himself, Joe Biden has said.
The US president said Putin’s “back is against the wall and now he’s talking about new false flags he’s setting up including, asserting that we in America have biological as well as chemical weapons in Europe – simply not true. I guarantee you,” Biden said at an event on Monday.
I do not believe anything Biden’s handlers have him mouth, I doubt he even remembers anything beyond his last tapioca hit. Very little of what the MSM spews can be trusted, Russiagate, Hunter Biden’s Laptop, Hillary’s ongoing shenanigans have proved them willing propagandists and nothing more.
Deal in the works between Liberals and NDP that would keep Justin Trudeau’s government in power in exchange for NDP-friendly measures
A deal is in the works between the federal Liberals and New Democrats that could see Justin Trudeau’s minority government safely staying in power for the next few years — in exchange for NDP-friendly measures in the coming budgets.
News of the potential deal leaked after Trudeau informed his Liberal MPs on Monday night. Sources are saying that Liberals have committed to a dental care program and “real progress” on a national pharmacare program, as the NDP has long demanded.
If the Liberal-NDP deal goes ahead, and sources were saying negotiations were still going on late into Monday night, Canada would be spared a federal election until 2025.
Two teachers in their 50s have died after a violent attack at a secondary school in the southern Swedish city of Malmö, police say.
An 18-year-old student at the school has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Local media report that the victims were stabbed, but no firearms were used in the attack.
The two women, employees of Malmö Latin School, were taken to hospital by ambulance but died of their injuries.
Malmo raises an eyebrow, it’s known for vibrant diversity, no word yet on the perp’s identity.
… The study leaves the gate asserting that in 2020, “the state of Islamophobia in Europe not only has not improved, but has worsened, if not reached a tipping point.” Worse, “French and Austrian Muslims have been left in the hands of brutal state violence.” Not only that, but the editors are grandiose about the importance of their topic for all of Europe: “Islamophobia not only directly devalues the lives of otherized people, but questions the humanity of a society that pretends to stand for the equality of all humans.”
As one might expect, those 886 pages are replete with instances of horrible things done and said against Muslims. As one might equally expect, many of the instances are not so horrible.
The worldwide toll of deaths from Covid-19 has just hit 6 million, nearly 1 million of which are in the United States. Few science stories are more important than understanding where the Covid virus came from. Yet the science writers’ section of the press corps has proved strangely incapable of telling the story straight.
KARACHI, Pakistan — Last month, a man named Muhammad Mushtaq was accused of burning pages of the Quran inside a mosque in central Pakistan. A mob armed with sticks, bricks and axes gathered at the mosque and dragged him out.
Mr. Mushtaq was tortured for hours and eventually killed, his body hung from a tree. A handful of police officers were among those who watched.
The Feb. 12 killing in the district of Khanewal was denounced across Pakistan. Prime Minister Imran Khan said the government had “zero tolerance” for such mob violence and promised that the police officers would be punished.
The Thursday evening briefing, called “God is On Our Side: White Christian Nationalism and the Capitol Insurrection,” was hosted by the Congressional Freethought Caucus, a group that includes Democratic House members Jamie Raskin of Maryland, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Zoe Lofgren of California and Steve Cohen of Tennessee.
Raging Islamist anti-Semite Rashida Tlaib? Instant credibility!
The new deputy head of a propaganda and espionage agency in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has documented ties with business tycoons, university heads and other elite members of American society.
Chen Xu, former party secretary of one of the PRC’s most prestigious universities, Tsinghua, was promoted to deputy head of the United Front Work Department (UFWD), according to an updated leadership roster on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) portal, which was first reported in Chinese media on Feb. 28.
The Times coverup and denial of Hunter Biden’s laptop, aided by Facebook and Twitter, has destroyed any trust we had left.
This is a tale between two newspapers, The New York Times versus the New York Post. The Post won…but too late.
The biggest losers are the American people.
Had the American people known the unsavory facts about Hunter Biden and his father, Joe, Trump would be enjoying his second term…and it does not matter if you love or hate Trump.
How war in Ukraine conflict is creating a global humanitarian crisis
The world is facing a potential food crisis because of the Russo-Ukraine conflict. As I discussed before, the impact of this conflict is global and long-term. A few of us geopolitical commentators have examined the potentially lasting effects on global commodities. Africa will especially feel the impact of this war, where food imports are critical.

As the first of hundreds of Canadians began flooding into Ukraine earlier this month to battle alongside the country’s own troops, Russia’s defence ministry spokesman issued an ominous warning.
Foreign fighters in Ukraine are actually mercenaries, Igor Konashenkov said, have no protection under international law and “at best … can expect to be prosecuted as criminals” if they’re captured.
Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine has clarified for the world, except those wilfully blind, that green policies weakened Europe and emboldened the ruthless dictator to reclaim territory of the former Soviet Empire.
On Jan. 6, 2021, a protestor, 40-year-old Brady Knowlton, says that an officer at the Capitol told “You can go in, as long as you don’t break anything.” At 2:35 p.m., Knowlton did, entering through the Upper West Terrace doors. He looked around inside the building, walked through the Rotunda, lobby, and Senate chamber gallery, obeyed the officer’s injunction not to break anything, and left the building at 2:53 p.m. For that, Knowlton now faces twenty years in prison in Old Joe Biden’s vengeful banana republic.
