Montreal Mosque fined for ‘undue benefits’ to president’s business as part of refugee program

A Montreal charity that helped bring Syrian refugees to Canada was fined $60,900 for providing “undue benefits” to a company owned by its president as part of its sponsorship program, according to documents recently made public.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) notified the Centre Canadien Islamique Al-Jamieh/Canadian Islamic Centre Al-Jamieh of the penalty in a Sept. 12, 2024 letter, which has now been made available through the IJF’s Open by Default database.

The notice says the mosque, a registered charity, paid $58,000 to a consulting company in March 2017. That company was wholly owned by the charity’s then-president, Ahmad Chaar.

Zelenskyy describes Canada-U.S. tensions as ‘strange,’ draws comparison to Ukraine and Russia

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday described the unfolding tension between Canada and the United States as a “strange” sight to behold, drawing a comparison to his own country’s fight with neighbouring Russia.

In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with CBC News, Zelenskyy described American threats to annex Canada as “dangerous” and said both countries have a duty to resolve their differences.

“Strange,” the president told CBC News chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault, speaking to the tension in North America.

I hope Trump cuts him off for this. Canada won’t because our politicians are in on the grift.

Conservative MPs weep at hearing for Canadians claiming COVID vaccine injuries

Conservative MPs became emotional during a public hearing as Canadians described deaths and serious health problems they attributed to COVID-19 vaccines, including the case of a longtime parliamentary aide who qualified for federal vaccine injury compensation before his death.

“I don’t think we have properly acknowledged the harm that was done to many people,” Conservative MP Blaine Calkins, who represents Ponoka-Didsbury, Alta., said at the hearing.

As Patel and Hoekstra Warned Canada Over CBC’s 9/11 Guidance, FBI Personnel at U.S. Posts Were Sent Home, Source Says

OTTAWA – In the escalating controversy over CBC News guidance directing journalists not to describe the al-Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001, as terrorism, FBI personnel assigned to American diplomatic posts in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver were instructed to leave their workplaces and go home, according to a U.S. law-enforcement source with knowledge of interagency communications surrounding the incident.

Hoekstra says U.S. needs ‘our allies on board’ to counter terrorist threats

The U.S. ambassador to Canada says his country needs their “allies on board” to counter terrorist threats that target Western democracies’ way of life.

Pete Hoekstra was in Gander, Nfld., on Friday to attend a memorial marking the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York City. The people of Gander took in stranded passengers diverted to the province after the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon disrupted air travel.

Good luck with that.

MORGAN: I couldn’t care less about ‘Islamophobia’ right now

On the eve of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks committed by Islamists on the United States that murdered 2,977 innocent people, former federal special representative on “Islamophobia” Amira Elghawaby says the 25 years since the September 11 terrorist attacks have been a difficult period for Muslims. She feels now is a time to try and portray Islamists as victims and plead for sympathy.

Her timing is vile, as is the ideology she is running cover for, and I couldn’t care less if Islamists got blowback for committing one of the most horrific terrorist atrocities of modern times.

Canada can’t wait for America to return to normal — this is the new normal

Back in 2017, I had been chatting with Financial Times columnist Edward Luce and he made an observation: Many people viewed U.S. President Donald Trump’s election as a temporary aberration, one that would end once he left office. Nearly a decade later, Canada is still grappling with the opposite reality, yet the perception that things are temporary persists.

The trade war is often discussed as a dispute to be negotiated away, measured in tariffs, retaliation and timelines. That framing misses the larger lesson.

A Canadian town’s famous warm welcome doesn’t extend to US ambassador on 9/11 anniversary

On 9/11, the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, welcomed thousands of stranded Americans whose flights were redirected after the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon.

Twenty-five years later, residents of that very same Atlantic coast community are less enthusiastic about hosting the US ambassador to Canada for commemoration ceremonies on Friday.

Some are even demanding that his invite be rescinded.

Canada ‘will NEVER be the 51st state. Sorry!’: B.C. premier unveils new border welcome signs

B.C. Premier David Eby unveiled new welcome signs for U.S. border crossings at a Tuesday press conference, which he says reflect a message from his government: “Welcome to British Columbia, Canada. Strong, proud, and will NEVER be the 51st state. Sorry!”

He pointed to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, saying that when 8,500 passengers were stranded at Vancouver International Airport, Canadians opened their doors to their southern neighbours.

Death cultists real victims of 911 says CTV News

TORONTO — Twenty-five years after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center spurred widespread surveillance and hostility against Muslims around the world, the work of countering Islamophobia in Canada still rests largely on those it targets, a major Islamic organization said in the lead-up to the anniversary.

As Muslims suddenly found their faith wrongly linked with extremist acts in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, many Islamic institutions in Canada responded to the growing fear and suspicion by trying to build bridges with their communities, opening their doors to neighbours and joining vigils for the nearly 3,000 people killed.

CTV are Carney’s typists so it’s safe to assume this is the party line.

Matthew Lau: Who protects the lowly worker? Not unions, not government

Labour Day is invariably accompanied by pronouncements from progressives about how unions and government benefit workers and protect them from exploitation. However, the reality is the opposite. Even if they sometimes benefit certain privileged workers in the short run, the main effect of unions and government expansion is to harm workers overall, with the most disadvantaged members of the labour force suffering the worst consequences.

Well, Huh – Lots of ‘Thanks, Boomers’ in Canadian Carney-Val Comments

The petite Canadian Prime Minister and global banker ordinaire is back on his nation’s airwaves, in what might be interpreted as the Syrupean ‘Je vous salue Marie’ version of our political Hail Mary. Only the little fellow has thought to use a little literary license and weave in some…uh…oh, let’s be kind about this and call them ‘revised’ origin stories about Canada’s founding to heighten the dramatic effect.
