Prime Minister’s Office received 34 briefings on foreign interference since 2018, CSIS says

A top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service briefing prepared for the Prime Minister’s Office in February last year said Beijing had “clandestinely and deceptively interfered in both the 2019 and 2021 general elections.”

The classified document, dated Feb. 21, 2023, was drafted in response to media stories, including one in The Globe and Mail, that outlined a sophisticated campaign by China and its proxies to interfere in the 2021 election. The document was made public on Monday, when it was tabled at the Commission of Inquiry into Foreign Interference.


I can’t help but notice that few bother to comment on posts about the Liberal Party’s corrupt relationship with the PRC.

Personally I am resigned to the fact that nothing will change regardless of the commission’s findings which I suspect is the reason for the lack of interest from readers.

Our political class looks after their own.

No one will be charged, no one will go to jail and no one will lose their job.

Leaving Canada is becoming a serious consideration.

Chairman Chow Stands With Hamas Supporters

Mayor Olivia Chow has no plans to condemn some city councillors for supporting Torontonians’ right to protest following a pro-Palestinian demonstration that included clashes with police officers.

”Whether they are councillors, a deputy mayor or ordinary citizens, they have the right, under the Charter of Freedoms, to assemble, to have their voice heard,” Chow told reporters Monday, responding to a question about the police officers’ union demand that she criticizes the councillors’ actions.

Canada needs more soldiers. Here’s how it plans to recruit them

OTTAWA — Canada aims to grow its military to 71,500 regular members over the next eight years by addressing long-standing recruitment and retention problems, according to an updated defence policy announced Monday.

The new strategy builds on several recently announced policies that softened the Canadian Armed Forces’ eligibility requirements, adding new funding for military housing, child care, and efforts to digitize services and increase the number of civilian specialists, although most of that funding will come more than five years down the line.

No mention of being so woke they’ve driven away their most reliable source of recruits.

CSIS briefing for PMO in 2023 says China interfered in both 2019 and 2021 elections, inquiry told

A top secret CSIS briefing prepared for the Prime Minister’s Office in February 2023 last year, following leaks to the media about Chinese meddling, said Beijing “clandestinely and deceptively interfered in both the 2019 and 2021 general elections.”

The classified document, dated Feb. 21, 2023, was tabled at the Commission of Inquiry into Foreign Interference in response to media stories including one in The Globe and Mail that outlined a sophisticated campaign by People’s Republic of China (PRC) and its proxies to interfere in the 2021 election.

Canada exploring possibility of joining AUKUS alliance, Trudeau says

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada is exploring the possibility of joining the second phase of AUKUS, a U.S.-led alliance with the United Kingdom and Australia.

The initial pillar of the alliance, forged in 2021, was focused on developing nuclear-powered submarines for Australia.

Trudeau says Canada will consider whether it needs to purchase nuclear-powered submarines to better ensure it can defend Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic.

Bullshit, nothing but electioneering.

Conrad Black: Canadians Have a Right to Know the Scope of Chinese Interference in Our Affairs

The slowly emerging proportions of the interference by the People’s Republic of China in Canadian elections does not justify concern that illicit interference materially changed the result of the two general elections in 2019 and 2021 in which China is alleged to have intervened on behalf of a number of Liberal and Conservative candidates.

John Ivison: The new Liberal defence policy’s in no hurry to face dangerous global realities

For many years, there was no political payback for increasing defence expenditure, so governments in Ottawa didn’t bother.

But recent polls suggest voters are sufficiently spooked by events in Ukraine and the Middle East, not to mention by the prospect of Donald Trump’s return to the White House, to urge Ottawa to start taking defence seriously again.

Why Justin Trudeau is turning against immigration – He’s in a desperate position

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in a state of desperation. His minority Liberal government has been polling behind Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives for the better part of two years. They’re down in most opinion polls by 15 to 18 points, and only have the support of 23 to 26 per cent of the Canadian electorate. His left-leaning policies have turned off many Canadians, including fellow Liberals. His standing in the international community barely has a pulse. His personal popularity numbers continue to plummet.

How is Trudeau still in power? Because he signed a three-year work-and-supply agreement with Jagmeet Singh’s New Democrats – who are also struggling mightily in the polls – that doesn’t expire until June 2025. Without this, his goose would have been cooked.

Trudeau government created housing crisis poised to worsen without major reforms, RBC report says

Canada’s housing affordability crisis will hit even more alarming levels in the coming years without a bold set of policy reforms to boost supply, the economics department at Royal Bank of Canada said Monday in a report.

The country needs to complete roughly 320,000 housing units annually from now until 2030, simply to meet the new demand that will arise over that period, according to RBC estimates. This would amount to an increase of nearly 50 per cent from recent completion levels – and it would require a record pace of construction.

If anything, Canada is moving in the wrong direction. There were around 240,000 housing unit starts in 2023, down from roughly 271,000 in 2021, according to figures from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. This doesn’t bode well for completions over the rest of the decade.


In the past few weeks the Liberals have been on blast about their many housing initiatives as if that was going to solve the crisis they created.

All of their grandiose declarations amount to a drop in the bucket.

It’s all bullshit all the time from the Liberals.

Diploma In Social Work, Part Time Job, Lives With Parents In Social Housing- Perfect Time To Get Married, Have A Child And Complain About Rental Market

‘We’re just stuck.’ This new father grew up in public housing — he wants to leave but can’t because of what’s wrong with Toronto’s housing market

In the wee hours of the night, Shahzeb Ahia and his wife often pace the floors of their living room, walking back and forth with their newborn daughter and hoping the movement or the city lights outside will quiet her wails.

It isn’t only their sleep that three-month-old Sahira’s cries can interrupt. The sound can travel throughout the 955-square-foot apartment in Regent Park that’s currently home to a household of six, including Ahia’s parents and his adult brother. It’s too many people for this space — but Ahia can’t see any way out.

The Family has lived in Regent Park Social Housing for 20 years virtually since their arrival in Canada.

Hell of a life plan for a “Social Worker.”

Mass immigration is working its magic!

Dearborn, Michigan Muslims Chant ‘Death to America!’ at Al Quds Day Rally

At an International Al-Quds Day rally held last Friday in Dearborn, Michigan, which was streamed live on Facebook, local assembled protesters chanted: “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!” MEMRI reported last Friday.

According to the last US census finding, Dearborn, Michigan is 54% Arab.

The GTA is now host to the largest Muslim diaspora in North America surpassing Dearborn Michigan.

Who decided inviting a death cult to live here was a good idea?

Come the revolution…

Why Pakistani airline attendants keep ‘vanishing’ in Toronto

The phrase “Pakistan Zindabad” — Urdu for “long live Pakistan” — is a patriotic expression closely linked to the country’s independence from British-ruled India.

But the title of the 2013 film “Zinda Bhaag,” which rhymes with the nationalistic slogan, may better reflect the mindset of many Pakistanis today.

MacDougall: Spend, then spend some more, won’t save Trudeau

At this rate, all Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has left to do on April 16 is rise in the House of Commons, point to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and say “ditto.” That’s how quickly the prime minister is pulling rabbits out of her (supposed) budget-day hat.

There’s been the $15 billion top-up to the Apartment Loan Construction Program; the $6 billion for infrastructure related to housing; another $1.5 billion for the rental protection fund; and a $400 million boost for the Housing Accelerator Fund. All announced before budget day.
