Canada’s biosecurity scandal: the risks of foreign interference in life sciences

In July 2019, world-renowned biological researchers Xiangguo Qiu and Keding Cheng were quietly walked out of the Canadian government’s National Microbiology Lab (NML). The original allegation against them was that Qiu had authorised a shipment to China of some of the deadliest viruses on the planet, including Ebola and Nipah.

Qiu and Cheng, a married couple, subsequently lost their security clearances and were then fired by the NML in January 2021. At the time, both were subject to investigations by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canadian Secret Intelligence Service (CSIS). The NML said both had lost their positions for ‘breaches of policy’; it did not say what those breaches or policies had been.

Then the story seemed to go away—until now.

Police recover nearly 600 stolen vehicles in Port of Montreal, ‘vast majority’ of them stolen from the GTA

Nearly 600 stolen vehicles have been recovered from shipping containers in the Port of Montreal over the past few months as part of an interprovincial auto theft investigation, and 75 per cent of them were stolen in Ontario.

Speaking at a news conference Wednesday, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced the results of “Project Vector” – an operation to recover stolen vehicles that made it to the Port of Montreal and were intercepted before they could be illegally exported.

Conservative lead over Liberals narrows while NDP support drops: Nanos

The federal Liberals are narrowing the months-old gap with the Conservative party, with a former 20-percentage point Conservative ballot advantage shrinking to a 12-point lead, according to latest tracking data from Nanos Research.

The Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre have maintained a safe lead over the Liberals since September, reaching a nearly 20-percentage point gap a month ago, with 42.8 per cent support compared to the Liberals’ 23.8 per cent.

But new Nanos ballot tracking shows the Conservatives are now closer to 38 per cent, compared to the Liberals at 26 per cent.

Soldiers had to rely on food donations because of lack of military support during Ottawa training

Canadian Forces personnel sent to Ottawa for specialized cyber training had to rely on donated food to make ends meet because of the lack of support from the military and the high cost of living in the city.

In other cases, soldiers went months without being reimbursed by National Defence for their expenses, creating even more financial hardship, according to military personnel who approached this newspaper with their concerns.

The recruits were not initially eligible for any housing allowance while in Ottawa.

Majority of Canadians Say Federal Government on ‘Wrong Track’ to Help Middle-Class: Survey Report

Middle-class Canadians are tired of the rising cost of living and the “high tax burden” placed upon them, according to in-house Privy Council research. Focus groups from across the country told pollsters the federal government has failed to address the issues most important to Canadians.

“Discussing additional measures that could be taken by the federal government to assist the middle class, participants suggested actions such as lowering taxes for middle-class households and increasing the range of benefits and supports available within Canada,” reads the pollsters’ analysis, which was first obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.

Compulsive Liar Trudeau fails to acknowledge he created the mass immigration mess now says temporary immigration needs to be brought ‘under control’

Trudeau says temporary immigration needs to be brought ‘under control’

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government wants to rein in the number of temporary immigrants coming to the country, saying the situation needs to be brought “under control.”

“Whether it’s temporary foreign workers or whether it’s international students in particular, that have grown at a rate far beyond what Canada has been able to absorb,” Trudeau said at a housing announcement in Dartmouth, N.S.

“To give an example, in 2017, two per cent of Canada’s population was made up of temporary immigrants. Now we’re at 7.5 per cent of our population comprised of temporary immigrants. That’s something we need to get back under control.”

He’s lying. The numbers bandied about are a drop in the bucket and will make little to no impact.

Trudeau and the LPC are running scared having wreaked generational economic harm on Canada’s young and old.

People will never be able to afford a home, many are unable to afford rent.

Trudeau did this through the most cruel mass immigration scam ever inflicted on a western nation.

It’s not immigration, it’s replacement.

Carson Jerema: Economists’ open letter oblivious to carbon tax realities

The suggestion that hundreds of economists could put out a letter endorsing the federal government’s signature climate policy, the carbon tax, without it being perceived as political is incredibly precious. Although Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are not directly named, they are the clear targets of the letter, which was released last week. Hardly apolitical, the stunt, and the 340-plus economists who have so far signed on to it, are deserving of nothing more than a massive eye roll.

MP Dong Admits Knowing a Bus Was Organized to Bring International Students to Nomination Contest in His Riding

MP Han Dong has admitted that he was made aware that a bus had been organized by a private school to bring international students to vote in the Liberal Party nomination contest in 2019, in which he was a candidate. The admission was mentioned by counsel at the foreign interference inquiry in Ottawa on April 2.

Referring to a statement of evidence to be presented later, commission counsel Kate McGrann said Mr. Dong knew “that international students attending a private high school and living in a residence at Seneca College voted in the 2019 Don Valley North nomination.”

Tasha Kheiriddin: Liberals’ blind opposition to LNG is making us poorer and less safe

“Not interested.” Those are the words of Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, when asked whether the federal government would subsidize future liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. “We are not interested in investing in LNG facilities,” retorted Wilkinson. “That’s the role of the private sector. They need to assess the business case and make the investments.”

A response to Professor Salim Mansur, a once courageous pro-Israel academic who recently made a radical shift and became a strident anti-Israel voice.

Herzl and the Bible – This unsolicited commentary is a response to three essays by Professor Salim Mansur, a once courageous pro-Israel academic who recently made a radical shift and became a strident anti-Israel voice.

I became acquainted with Salim Mansur in 2017 at a conference in Jerusalem, where he presented a positive view of the right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel. As a Muslim, he pointed out that the Quran validated this primordial connection. In the same year, he wrote The Qur’an Problem and Islamism in which he defined Jew-hatred as a pathology, though not embedded in the holy book of Islam.

This comes as a shock, I have held Salim Mansur and his work in high regard for many years.

Below is Salim’s latest piece which came out after the above article was written.

The Chronicle of Zionist lies and their implosion foreseen

The owl of Minerva in Roman mythology represented wisdom and the German idealist philosopher Hegel in the 19th century borrowed the symbolism of Minerva’s owl to note that it took flight at dusk, meaning understanding and wisdom came to people about events in history after their passage. It might thus be said that in the fading lights of dusk in which Minerva’s owl took flight over Gaza following the events of 7 October 2023, one could discern the approaching inexorable denouement of Israel as a colonial-settler state in the Levant.

The entire Zionist project in the making of Israel was built upon and sustained by lies and, consequently, there cannot be any avoidance from its eventual karmic – the interlocking chain of cause and effect – dismantling as a historical aberration like other similarly built colonial-settler states that got dismantled, such as French Algeria or the white-minority regimes of Rhodesia and South Africa. This eventual dismantling was foreseen and forewarned by Jews and non-Jews alike who were not gulled by Theodor Herzl’s manifesto, Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State), published in Vienna in 1896 for the scam it was and the effort he set in motion in bringing to fruition his imagined Zionist agenda. Herzl proposed,

Let the sovereignty be granted us over a portion of the globe large enough to satisfy the rightful requirements of a nation; the rest we shall manage for ourselves.

The economy is sicker than you think

The Canadian and British Columbian economies are in distress, but you could be forgiven for not noticing.

At a surface level, much appears in shape. Official inflation numbers are abating, and it’s true Canada didn’t get as hard-hit as other G7 countries. Unemployment levels seem relatively low and suggest an ongoing labour shortage in an economy of high demand. And the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) indicates growth, albeit at a slight rate.

Look more closely, though, and many economists say a different perspective emerges in the picture.

The Liberals race to win back younger generations that have left them in droves

Before the last federal election, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government spent billions to hand out a $500 precampaign bonus cheque to Old Age Security recipients and increased payments to those over 75.

That money is gone, but now the Liberals are finding their political problem is a completely different age group: the under-40s, who have abandoned the party in droves. Now Mr. Trudeau’s government is racing to offer them measures that will give them a little disposable income.

Court to decide if Ontario must pay for surgery to make vagina if patient also want to keep penis

In a lengthy legal battle that could lead to more requests for individually customized and unorthodox gender-affirming surgeries, an Ontario resident is seeking publicly funded surgery to construct a vagina while preserving the penis.

The case, now before the courts, reflects a small but growing demand for niche surgeries for people who identify as non-binary, meaning neither exclusively female nor exclusively male.

Poilievre Decries ‘Federal Food Bureaucracy’ After Trudeau Announces $1 Billion School Food Program

Following the Liberal government’s announcement that it will launch a $1 billion national school food program, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized the prime minister for announcing the plan on the same day the federal carbon tax was raised.

“After eight years of promising that he’d helped the middle class, well now by his own admission, one in four kids don’t get enough food. I find it ironic that he is promising a federal food bureaucracy in Ottawa the same day as he raises taxes on food,” Mr. Poilievre said during a press conference in Nanaimo, B.C., on April 1.
