Cost of living hitting food banks so hard in Carney’s Canada that visits are limited to once a month

Food banks across the country are being forced to scale back services at a time when Canadians need them the most, due to limited supplies.

In southern Saskatchewan, the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank plans to limit households to just one visit a month instead of the usual two, beginning April 1. They will also reduce the amount of food handed out to each visitor.

“Our resources aren’t keeping up with the demand,” said executive director Jason Moore in an interview with CTV Newsthis week.

Federal loan to Nova Scotia wind farm managed by firm owned by Liberal MPs family members being investigated

At hearings in Ottawa on Wednesday, the head of the Canada Infrastructure Bank refused to state the interest rate on the $206-million loan to a wind farm project that’s being managed by a company owned by the family members of three former Liberal MPs and a former Nova Scotia Liberal Party leader.

The examination of the deal by the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities was launched after The Chronicle Herald revealed that Roswall Development Inc., parent company to Renewall Energy, which will be selling the power from the Mersey River wind project, has deep Liberal connections.

Pentagon prepares for weeks of ground operations in Iran

The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, U.S. officials said, as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East for what could become a dangerous new phase of the war should President Donald Trump choose to escalate.

Any potential ground operation would fall short of a full-scale invasion and could instead involve raids by a mixture of Special Operations forces and conventional infantry troops, said the officials. All spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss highly sensitive military plans that have been in development for weeks.

Such a mission could expose U.S. personnel to an array of threats, including Iranian drones and missiles, ground fire and improvised explosives. It was unclear Saturday whether Trump would approve all, some or none of the Pentagon’s plans.

China denies forced labour allegations amid fallout from Michael Ma’s comments

Camp Uyghur

China is again denying claims of forced labour in the country as calls grow for Prime Minister Mark Carney to clarify Canada’s stance on the issue amid fallout from comments made by Liberal MP Michael Ma that appeared to cast doubt on reported human rights abuses.

The Chinese Embassy in Canada pushed back on the allegation that forced labour is used in the production of Chinese electric vehicle components in a social media post Friday night, calling it a “blatant lie” that some are using to undermine the Canada-China EV deal.

Inside the Trans-Atlantic Trade in Iranian Weapons for Colombian Coke

In February last year, Antoine Kassis checked into the Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club, a Victorian-style resort an hour north of Nairobi. Wearing an ill-fitting hooded sweatshirt, with gray stubbles and baggy eyes, he didn’t look like a typical upscale tourist.

The disheveled 58-year-old, who went by Tony, was a cousin of the recently deposed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. He had traveled to Kenya planning to meet a supposed arms inspector from a Colombian rebel group and complete a $14 million deal to import 500 kilos of cocaine to Syria in return for military-grade weapons supplied by Iran and Russia.

Kassis didn’t know the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency had been watching him for two years. As he waited in a cafe, U.S. agents accompanied by Kenyan police approached him. Two months later he was extradited to the U.S., ending a lengthy sting operation.

No Kings protesters across the US rally against Donald Trump

Large protests against the Trump administration have taken place in cities across the US, marking the third iteration of No Kings rallies that have previously drawn crowds into the millions.

Organisers say they are protesting against policies imposed by US President Donald Trump, including the war in Iran, federal immigration enforcement and the rising cost of living.

“Trump wants to rule over us as a tyrant. But this is America, and power belongs to the people – not to wannabe kings or their billionaire cronies,” organisers said.

Should Mark Carney be doubling Canada’s defense spending in response to today’s security threats?

Few policy choices shape a country more profoundly than decisions about sovereignty, security and military might.

Those questions are now at the centre of a debate triggered by Prime Minister Mark Carney’s pledge to meet a NATO defence spending target of five per cent of GDP by 2035 and the government’s new defence strategy.

Oh Oh! – US president considers blocking members of military alliance from decision-making unless 5 per cent spending target hit

Thousands march against far right in London in biggest ever multicultural protest

Tens of thousands of people gathered in London to march against the far right in the biggest multicultural demonstration in UK history.

Organisers claimed half a million people had travelled to the capital for Saturday’s Together Alliance march. Police estimated the turnout was closer to 50,000, although they admitted it was difficult to judge the number due to the widespread nature of the crowd.

Beginning in Park Lane, more than 100 charities, campaign groups and trade unions marched to Trafalgar Square via Whitehall in a show of unity against far-right politics.

Government Bug Bet Bombs: Ottawa’s investment in world’s largest cricket farm couldn’t survive ‘yuck factor’

The business of insect farming was supposed to grow big and fast.

In London, Ont., that promise took shape in Aspire Food Group Canada. Billed as the world’s largest cricket farm, it was a 150,000-square-foot, fully automated facility designed to house billions of insects and produce millions of kilograms of protein each year.

Crickets are touted as a low-carbon protein source, requiring less farmland than traditional livestock and offering the potential to address world food insecurity.

No matter I’m sure Liberal party pals made money.

EU Parliament Told Continent ‘On Track For Civil War‘

Many government officials already perceive the horrific implications of Europe’s nation states losing their self-belief and descending into polar factionalism, with the continued existence of Europe or its constituent parts in question, but understand that speaking of it openly remains career suicide, a conference at the European Parliament has heard.

It is “a possibility that is quite close” that the British people will pass into history “like the Canaanites or the Arcadians”, and it is an open question whether there will be a Europe in 50 years’ time, a European Parliament conference heard from a panel of expert speakers.

Mass immigration from incompatible cultures will solve all their problems just look what it did for Canada!

UN watchdog bashes Mark Carney’s ‘procedural theatre’ on Iran war

Few people can make tyrants look over their shoulder, but Hillel Neuer has built a career doing exactly that. The Montreal-born, Geneva-based lawyer and human rights crusader has become one of the most unrelenting watchdogs of the United Nations, exposing hypocrisy and defending the world’s dissidents in some of the globe’s most repressive regimes.

As executive director of UN Watch — the Geneva-based NGO known for holding dictatorships to account within the UN system — Neuer has been called “feared and dreaded by the world’s dictatorships” (Tribune de Genève) and “the most hated man at the UN” (Bild).

Trump weighs new ‘pay to play’ Nato

US president considers blocking members of military alliance from decision-making unless 5 per cent spending target hit

Donald Trump is considering a shake-up of Nato designed to punish members who do not meet his funding demands.

The US president is examining a “pay-to-play model” that could block allies from decision-making, including when the bloc goes to war.

It is one of several ideas Mr Trump is weighing up after allies rejected his demand to send warships to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Sources close to the president said he was also considering pulling US troops out of Germany – a move that he has considered since returning to office last year.

I agree NATO nations have used the US as a sucker and that includes Canada’s failure to pull it’s weight.

He should not have demanded that NATO members join in the war against Iran.

Even though the world will benefit from the defeat of Iran’s Mullah regime Trump can’t expect assistance on demand for a war NATO states are simply unwilling and incapable of fighting especially those harboring significant Muslim 5th Columns. France and England are barely able to control their own streets.

NATO is a paper tiger, a drain on US resources and its resentful anti-American members dubious allies making withdrawal a reasonable response.

Maybe a slap in the face is the right approach, maybe not regardless there’s gonna be a lot of hurt feelings over this!
