Trump slammed over threat to ‘encourage’ attacks on deadbeat NATO members … Привет Canada!

Former US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he would “encourage” Russia to attack members of NATO who had not met their financial obligations, in remarks that the White House rejected as “appalling and unhinged.”

Speaking at a campaign rally in South Carolina Saturday, the Republican presidential nomination frontrunner appeared to recount a conversation with a fellow head of state at an unspecified NATO meeting.

“One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘Well, sir, if we don’t pay, and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?’ I said, ‘You didn’t pay, you’re delinquent?'”

“No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”

This is why people love Trump.

Demands for Canada to stop supplying weapons to Israel grow louder

Montreal, Canada – Human rights advocates are accusing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government of misleading the public over weapons sales to Israel, which have come under greater scrutiny amid the deadly Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

At issue is legislation that prohibits the government from exporting military equipment to foreign actors if there is a risk it can be used in human rights abuses.

Zekveld: Canada will never be ready to expand assisted death to those with mental illness

Early in 2023, the federal government introduced legislation to delay the expansion of MAiD for mental illness by one year, to March 17, 2024. Then, recently, the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying recently tabled its report, MAID and Mental Disorders: The Road Ahead. Instead of a delay of one or even two years, the majority of the committee recommended an indefinite delay, until the ministers of health and justice are satisfied “that it can be safely and adequately provided.”

Does Canada Exist?

“An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.” —Sun Tsu

Major Russ Cooper, CEO of Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights and Freedoms, puts the question succinctly. “How could it be that the country that once called itself ‘strong and free’ could have fallen so far from grace? The fact that it has done so is evidenced by a plethora of instances that have put a new national coarseness and vacuity on display.”

Canadians won’t be fooled by Putin propaganda about me lying that I didn’t invite a Nazi to Parliament says Trudeau

… Trudeau told reporters on Friday Putin will use “whatever propaganda he can” to try and justify the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

“But I can tell you, Canadians will not be fooled,” he said at a news conference in King City, Ont.

“Canada stands with Ukraine, not just because we are friends to Ukraine, but because the rules-based order and the system of laws and the UN Charter protect all of us, not just Ukrainians.”

He added his government will continue to support Ukraine.

“Unfortunately, we see the lengths to which Russian propaganda will go to try and impact public opinion, to try and twist things.”

What’s to twist? Trudeau invited Hulka got caught then lied about his involvement.

Former Official of China’s Gestapo-Like Religious Persecution Agency Lived in Vancouver at Time of Death

A former Chinese official who worked for a notorious religious persecution agency controlled by the Chinese communist regime resided in Vancouver at the time of his death, according to an official obituary.

Zhang Guoqiang, originally from Zhejiang Province, had served in various Chinese military and government roles, including as the director of the provincial 610 Office, according to the obituary published on local online news outlet Zhejiang Daily. He died at the age of 70 in Vancouver on Nov. 15, 2021, reportedly succumbing to an illness after unsuccessful medical treatments.

Ottawa’s EV timeline is way too optimistic

The federal government recently finalized regulations for its “zero-emissions vehicle” mandate. The mandate requires sellers of light vehicles (passenger cars and light trucks) to sell a rising minimum of zero-emissions vehicles — basically, electric vehicles or EVs — every year, culminating with 100 per cent EVs in 2035, just 11 years from now. Reasonable forecasts of production and sales make clear that Ottawa’s timeline is unrealistic.

There cannot be optimism for an idea doomed to fail from the start.
