Postal inspectors intercepted over $10 million worth of contraband in Canadian mail last year, with most of it destined for indigenous and northern communities, Canada Post told the Senate legal and constitutional affairs committee.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the seizures, which included $4.4 million worth of illegal items from 3,191 packages in 2023, come amid ongoing discussions about expanding police powers to intercept suspicious mail.
Canadian banks have been considered mostly risk-free for a long time, but every streak ends. A former Canadian banking regulator urges the country’s policymakers to prepare for that day while it still can. In a new report from CD Howe, a former OSFI manager urges the country to modernize its banking crisis response and adopt more prudent measures. Failing to do so can result in a major hit to the country’s financial stability, resulting in a wide range of issues from bank runs to an outright collapse of financial institutions. As unlikely as this sounds, it comes after the recent wave of global financial institutions that were believed to be invincible, collapsed over a few months. Policymakers were left claiming no one saw it coming, but were they even looking?
Wanna bet they seize your savings to prop up the banks?
Liberal support is a shadow of what it was nine years ago. Why? In brief: Incumbency, inflation, immigration and identity
Just shy of nine years ago, Justin Trudeau led his Liberals to a majority government with 39.5 per cent of the popular vote. Today, depending on which poll you prefer, the Liberals have lost a shade less than half of that support. Where did it go, and why?
Liberal support began leaking during Mr. Trudeau’s first four-year term. The result of the ensuing election was a minority Liberal government. Since the last election, in 2021, which produced another minority, the Liberals have tried many tricks in the political book and unveiled a range of policies designed to meet social needs, as the party sees them, and to tickle the electorate’s fancy. Politically speaking, nothing has worked. The party has at most one year left before the next election to avoid a crushing defeat. Recently, the Liberals lost by-elections in seats they had long held in Toronto and Montreal, a harbinger of electoral disaster.
Long read but worth it. Trudeau’s immigration scam is a plot to destroy Canada, no one cane deny that.
Anti-Israel demonstrations began sprouting up across North America within days of the terrorist attack upon Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The demonstrations were initially large, and many demonstrators claimed they were seeking to promote peace in the Middle East. They continually told us they wanted to encourage a two-state solution and wanted what was best for people in the region. Anti-Jewish sentiment kept slipping out of the protests but we were assured those were just minority voices who spoke out of frustration with the conflict.
Nope, the “Vocal Minority” ruse just doesn’t work.
The Muslim vote is much too important for Justin to offend so expect nothing to be done.
In the complicated world of international conflicts, contradictory moral positions can often be justified by competing narratives, conflicting facts, differing starting points and starkly opposed ideological perspectives. However, when large-scale heinous crimes are systematically committed by a murderous organization or nation state, responsible countries should take an unequivocal stand. High on a lengthy list of crimes against humanity are the Holocaust, the Ukrainian Holodomor, Khmer Rouge massacres in Cambodia, and the Hutu slaughter of Tutsis in Rwanda. Belatedly, most countries acknowledge that failure to mitigate or at least decry those monstrous tragedies was shameful.
Inviting Islamists to settle in Canada reeks of moral rot.
Smearing citizens as Islamophobes and Racists because they had the good common sense to object also reeks of moral rot.
Continuing to slavishly cultivate the Islamist vote goes beyond mere moral rot and is nothing less than satanic evil.
Lack of success in finding the right partner and rising costs are among the main reasons Canadians are waiting to have children or not having any at all, a new poll suggests.
Half of Canadians who would like to become parents say they have delayed it longer than they would like, according to an Oct. 10 poll by the Angus Reid Institute. Just over 40 percent said economic and job uncertainty is one of the main reasons for deciding to wait, while a similar proportion, exactly 40 percent, said they can’t find a suitable partner. Child care costs and the housing crisis come next as major factors for the delay, both cited by slightly more than 30 percent of respondents in the group.
If you aren’t going to raise our glorious Canadian flag with reverent respect, keep your filthy hands off it.
If you’re going to march in the streets foaming at the mouth and screaming genocidal slogans, go do it on the streets of whatever inhospitable and doubtless retarded place from whence you came, that taught you to stomp on and burn the Canadian flag. And the American flag too.
More than five years after COVID first emerged, amid rising and falling waves, calls are growing for a public inquiry into Canada’s pandemic response on the scale of the Krever inquiry into the country’s tainted blood scandal of the 1980s.
The system for testing truck drivers in Ontario has been compromised by bribes, forged documents and rigged testing, says a memo leaked to CBC’s Marketplace by an industry insider.
A subsequent hidden camera investigation by Marketplace reveals that the training students get ahead of that test can be just as problematic.
Ontario’s DriveTest centres are managed by a company called Serco, which oversees operations and logistics for a variety of organizations, ranging from air traffic control for the Canadian Armed Forces to employment services for the federal government.
Nearly three years ago, an organized menace swallowed the streets of downtown Ottawa. Businesses were forced to shut down, residents were harassed, and people who lived in the core were tortured by round-the-clock honking. The trucker convoy was a revolt against COVID-19 rules – in particular, the requirement that those crossing the border to the U.S. in either direction show proof of vaccination – though Canada’s government obviously had little control over entry requirements set by the U.S. government. That didn’t matter to many of the protesters: they were going to show Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that he couldn’t simply dismiss them as a “fringe” minority.
That Islam was invited to invade speaks volumes of our depraved “elites” and is emergency enough.
OTTAWA — Abandoned, alone and bullied into silence.
That’s how Jewish members are reacting to the involvement of Canadian unions in nationwide demonstrations last week commemorating the Oct. 7 terror attacks.
There are answers but no one wishes to speak of them out loud.
Purge academia, eliminate the indoctrination curriculum, allow universities to fail.
No more refugees.
Enact an immigration freeze on Islamic states and Islamists in general.
Consider deportation as the response to hate marches and terrorist acts.
A few thousand at a time, those who attend the mosque and the friends and family of would be Jihadis.
The majority of Canadians agree that the most appropriate places to tip are restaurants and salons, according to a survey released last month.
The debate of whether to tip or not, and how much, has become a heated topic in recent years, especially as technology becomes more integrated into the payment process. It’s almost impossible to avoid the dreaded “Would you like to add a tip?” question, which has left Canadians divided in some areas, and united in others.
Agreed- no tips for take out.
Former public safety minister Marco Mendicino says he is very worried the public conversation about some parliamentarians being complicit in foreign interference is becoming a “kangaroo court.”
Mendicino said at a federal inquiry into foreign meddling today that it’s important to follow due process under the law before leaping to conclusions about the conduct of parliamentarians.
DETROIT/WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Thursday will propose making all interest on car loans fully tax-deductible and taking steps to prevent Chinese automakers from selling vehicles in the United States, according to excerpts of a speech seen by Reuters ahead of remarks in Detroit.
Trump will say at the Detroit Economic Club he plans to impose new tariffs to prevent Chinese automakers from building cars in Mexico and exporting them to the United States, part of an effort to appeal to autoworkers in the battleground state of Michigan.
Trump also will say he will formally notify Mexico and Canada of his intent to renegotiate a North American free trade deal to address concerns about Chinese vehicles, according to the prepared remarks. Vice President Kamala Harris has also said she plans to invoke the renegotiation provision if elected.
The reaction to this should be fun. h/t Mauser
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) had to make then-Public Safety Minister Bill Blair feel “comfortable” with a request for surveillance powers on an Ontario politician, a former top Public Safety official told the Foreign Interference Commission.
The commission has been probing why it took Blair 54 days to approve the 2021 warrant application against a subject whose identity was not revealed during proceedings.
