Populism strengthened the hand of authoritarian leaders like Putin who will pay for his crimes says hypocrite who turned Emergencies Act on his own citizens

Putin will pay for ‘war crimes he’s committed in Ukraine,’ Justin Trudeau says

BERLIN—Canada and European leaders condemned Russia’s bombing of a Ukrainian maternity hospital as an atrocity. And Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Russian President Vladimir Putin would be held accountable by the International Criminal Court for “war crimes he’s committed in Ukraine.”

Trudeau made the comment after delivering a foreign policy speech in Berlin on the need for democracies to make a “constant effort” to counter apathy, disinformation, low voter turnout and the rise of populism that may have strengthened the hand of authoritarian leaders like Putin.

Ford defends lifting mask mandate this month as Mississauga’s mayor raises concerns about timing of move

Premier Doug Ford is defending his government’s decision to lift the mask mandate in most settings in less than two weeks, even as one GTA mayor questions the timing of the move.

At a briefing on Thursday, Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie told reporters she thinks it is a “bit too soon” to lift the mask mandate in most settings as of March 21 given that proof of vaccination requirements were only recently removed.

But at a subsequent news conference to unveil a new transportation infrastructure plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, Ford stood by the decision while acknowledging that he will continue to wear a mask when he visits his mother-in-law in her long-term care home. He also said that he would choose to wear a mask whenever he is inside a hospital, even after the requirement for that setting is lifted in April.

Joe Biden begs dictators for oil while Canada’s energy industry remains hobbled

U.S. President Joe Biden is learning a hard lesson about the geopolitics of energy and what it means for America and its allies to be reliant on oil and gas produced by unsavoury regimes.

On Tuesday, the Biden administration followed Canada’s lead and banned petroleum imports from Russia, in response to its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

PM’s national security adviser says Convoy organizers intended to overthrow Trudeau like its a BAD THING!

Convoy organizers had extreme aims, says PM’s national security adviser

Extremism was at play amid the trucker convoy protests and blockades, and there is “no doubt” that some of the organizers who came to Ottawa did so with the intention of overthrowing the government, according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s top security adviser.

Jody Thomas says in unpacking what went down during the convoy protests, the clearing of them, and the divisions the whole ordeal exposed, Canada needs to take seriously the rise of domestic ideologically-motivated violent extremism.

Two months ago, Thomas took on the key job as Trudeau’s national security and intelligence adviser after a long career in the federal public service.

Harris slammed for laughing after question about Ukrainian refugees

Vice President Kamala Harris has been criticized for breaking into laughter Thursday after she was asked whether the US will take in Ukrainian refugees.

The awkward moment took place during a joint press conference with Poland President Andrzej Duda in Warsaw.

The two leaders had been asked similar questions about the US accepting Ukrainian refugees or otherwise easing pressure on Poland’s strained humanitarian resources.

Biolabs or Bioweapons Labs?

Is there a clear distinction between biolabs and bioweapons laboratories? Here is how paper, written by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology student, discussed the issue:

“The argument isn’t uncommon, referring to the fine line walked by scientists that can slide (and very occasionally has) from the helpful biological countermeasures to the deceitful biological weapons. The creation of the latter while claiming the former is known as dual-use research. In the 1950s, scientists were accused of this behavior when they developed a novel version of the polio virus, used to create the polio vaccine. Critics argued the release of this virus could decimate an unprepared population while the scientists tried to reassure them it was only for the beneficial cause of a miracle treatment.”

Trudeau combats Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with Operation Photo-Op

A clearer picture of Canada’s war-fighting strategy emerged this week during the dramatic eastward advance of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Operation Photo Opportunity. In the rumble of the hit-and-run media-availability event across Europe, word came at last from the tip of the spear aimed at Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, in Latvia.

Lunatic Guilbeault Exploits Ukraine’s Suffering To Further Green-Scam Agenda: ‘Canada can help Europe turn to renewables instead of Russian oil’

OTTAWA — Canada cannot realistically help Europe replace its Russian oil imports with Canadian crude or natural gas, but it can and is looking at ways to export renewable energy like hydrogen, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said Wednesday.

Guilbeault was speaking at the Canadian Club Toronto to promote the federal environmental strategy ahead of the release of Canada’s new road map for greenhouse gas reductions coming at the end of the month.

A conspiracy theorist would suggest that the Ukraine crisis has been co-opted as an opportunity to advance the green-scam agenda. Count me among their number.

One of the ‘world’s deadliest snipers’ who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq arrives in Ukraine from Canada after answering Zelensky’s plea for foreign fighters

One of the world’s most fearsome snipers is set to join the fighting in Ukraine after answering President Volodymyr Zelensky’s call for foreign volunteers to help defeat Russian invaders.

The marksman, known only by his nickname ‘Wali’, hails from the Royal Canadian 22nd Regiment and has previous combat experience from fighting in the Kandahar theatre during the Afghanistan War between 2009 and 2011.

The 40-year-old later took it upon himself to travel to Iraq in 2015 to help fight the Islamic State’s forces.

Pierre Poilievre is the favourite among Conservative voters to lead party in next election, poll finds

A new poll suggests that Conservative voters believe Pierre Poilievre would make the best leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.

The Leger poll found that 41 per cent of Conservative voters believe Poilievre would make the best leader. Jean Charest, who is set to launch his Conservative leadership campaign in Calgary on Thursday, is the second choice (10 per cent), followed by Peter MacKay (nine per cent), Patrick Brown (three per cent), and Leslyn Lewis (two per cent). Thirty-three per cent were undecided or preferred not to answer.

I like him but I doubt he will be able to shake the CPC from its LPC 2.0 wet dream.

Ontario reports 2,125 new Covid cases … maybe … and Survey Says: COVID-19 pandemic has brought out the worst in people!

Ontario reports 20 net new COVID-19 deaths on Thursday; 489 ‘incidental’ deaths from tally removed

Ontario reported 20 net new deaths from COVID-19 on Thursday, as hospitalizations appeared to hit a downward plateau and a new investigation effort found 489 of the province’s total COVID-19 deaths were likely not caused by the viral infection.

The Ministry of Health said 14 of the new deaths occurred in the past 30 days, while six others occurred prior to that period.

COVID-19 pandemic has brought out the worst in people, pulled Canadians further apart, survey suggests

Two years of living through the COVID-19 pandemic has left Canadians in a dour mood, with the majority saying the ordeal has significantly disrupted their lives, pulled Canadians further apart, brought out the worst in people and weakened their compassion for one another.

These are the findings of a new survey, carried out by the Angus Reid Institute, in partnership with CBC, which coincide with the two-year anniversary of the World Health Organization declaring the worldwide outbreaks of COVID-19 a pandemic.
