No Charges: Ottawa Cops Opt To Appease Muslims Who Shit All Over Christmas At Bayshore Mall

No charges laid following pro-Palestine protest at Bayshore Shopping Centre

Ottawa police say no charges were laid after a protest erupted at the Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa last Friday that was targeting the clothing retailer Zara.

A crowd of approximately 100 demonstrators with Palestinian flags, signs, and drums marched through the Bayshore Shopping Centre Friday evening to protest the Spanish fashion company, which has come under fire for a recent advertising campaign that critics say references the Israel-Hamas war and the resulting devastation in Gaza.

Freeland ‘absolutely’ thinks Liberals can win again under Trudeau, plans to run for re-election

A decade after she was first elected, Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says she plans to run again in the next federal election, while sidestepping the question of whether she’s eyeing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s job.

In an interview on CTV’s Your Morning, Freeland was asked about the Liberals’ current standing in the polls and the sentiment among some voters that Trudeau should step aside, and whether she would like to lead the Liberal Party of Canada if the job opened up.

As the holidays approach, Canadians say they’re being tipped over the edge

Cathy Khalil recently tipped five bucks on an $18 box of doughnuts at one Ottawa store — and says she has no regrets.

“I think when people see [the options on the debit machine] they feel obligated, sometimes, to tip,” Khalil said. “[But] I’m not tipping for the sake of tipping. I’m tipping because I want to tip, and it’s coming from me.”

She may be in the minority: As the holidays approach and Canadians shell out money for gifts, food and other festive purchases, some experts say people are recoiling from all those tip requests that come with an increasingly wide variety of debit or credit card purchases.

1 in 4 Canadians fear income won’t cover basic needs in Trudeau’s Canada says poll

A new survey suggests one in four Canadians are extremely concerned about having enough income to cover their basic needs, with the highest degree of hardship being felt by single parents.

The Salvation Army released the data today as part of their annual report examining Canadians’ attitudes and experiences with poverty and related socioeconomic issues.

Among single parents, closer to half are reporting extreme concern about meeting basic needs at 40 per cent, while the numbers clock in at 31 per cent for single-person households and 31 per cent for caregivers.

Bob Rae: Siding With Hamas Is The Compassionate Thing To Do

Canada’s UN ambassador defends UN vote as ‘compassionate’ response to humanitarian disaster in Gaza

Canada’s ambassador to the UN says Canada’s decision to vote in favour of a humanitarian ceasefire was a necessary reaction to the increasingly desperate humanitarian situation in Gaza, as major international powers join the call for a ceasefire.

In an interview airing Sunday on Rosemary Barton Live, Bob Rae said that Canada could not stand by and remain fixed in its position as the scale of destruction and number of civilian deaths in Gaza continued to rise.

“It was a changing of the situation on the ground. The war has caused such major destruction in Gaza, and caused such humanitarian hardship … and over the last three weeks [the calls of humanitarian agencies] have gotten more and more urgent, so naturally it’s something that causes us to reflect,” he told CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton.

Canadian housing starts dive as higher rates bite

Canadian housing starts plunged 22% in November from the previous month and missed estimates by a wide margin as higher borrowing costs hurt groundbreaking on multiple unit and single-family detached urban homes, data from the national housing agency showed on Friday.

The seasonally adjusted annualized rate of housing starts fell to 212,624 units from a downwardly revised 272,264 units in October, the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) said.

… A sharp drop in new building starts will further aggravate a housing crisis in Canada and hurt the popularity of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. His Liberal government has made housing its top priority and has announced a series of measures, including a plan to convert federal properties into new homes by March and to identify more public buildings for home conversion.

U.S. should stop enabling Canada’s defence deficit

I was disappointed, but hardly surprised, that the Trudeau Liberals recently bucked the NATO trend and decided to go ahead with a series of cuts to our already emasculated Canadian Armed Forces. This comes after revelations that Trudeau quietly informed NATO that Canada will “never” be able to boost its GDP spending on defence to the promised NATO minimum of two per cent. All this while our Chief of the Defence Staff recently declared that Canada is “at war” with Russia and China.

But Canada’s perennially derelict military funding in an increasingly volatile world is not ultimately the fault of our defence-dollar-averse politicians or their voting public.

The problem, frankly, is the United States.

Climate change could be avenue for adversaries to harm Canada, spy service warns

Mr. Freeze – biding his time.

OTTAWA – Canada’s spy service warns that dramatic shifts caused by climate change and the ensuing fractious upheaval around the world could leave Canada vulnerable, imperilling its food and water supplies, energy security and Arctic sovereignty.

Global warming will threaten security as countries and other actors seek to either bolster their economic positions or exploit their adversaries’ climate change-related weaknesses, says a newly released Canadian Security Intelligence Service analysis.

“Climate change will almost certainly heighten competition between nations, contribute to instability, strain capabilities and become the source of international tensions,” the CSIS analysis says.
