Protesters try to bypass RCMP wildfire blockade amid rising tensions in B.C.’s Shuswap region

Protesters have tried to bypass an RCMP blockade on the Trans-Canada Highway in British Columbia’s Shuswap region, amid tensions over the refusal of some residents to obey wildfire evacuation orders.

Live social media videos of the incident posted Wednesday evening show about 20 protesters confronting a blockade of police cars near the lakeside community of Sorrento.

They tell officers they do not believe politicians have the right to prevent them using the road, and that it is illegal for the RCMP to block it.

Glavin: Canada is colluding in China’s global green masquerade

It’s no wonder that Canadians are among the most skeptical people in the world when it comes to confidence in their government’s capacity to deal with climate change. That was the finding of a global Ipsos survey earlier this year, and there’s no reason to think that this summer’s record-breaking wildfires across Canada will change things much.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Trudeau sold out millennials and pushed them into Poilievre’s arms

Since Pierre Poilievre launched his Conservative leadership campaign, polls have shown a shift many previously thought impossible in Canadian politics: younger voters turning rightward.

In a reversal of the 2015 election that carried Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to power, the 18-34 demographic now heavily favours team blue while the over 65 cohort strongly prefers team red. The latest poll out of Abacus Data shows the CPC now has a 10-point lead with millennials — a group Trudeau still held by a solid seven points in Abacus’ post-2021 federal election survey.

Debt among Canadian millennials at record levels, while earnings haven’t kept up: RBC report

Canadian millennials are more likely to face the brunt of a wavering labour market as most face mounting debt with an income that fails to keep up with inflation, according to a report from RBC Economics.

The report released on Wednesday said Canadian millennials are more vulnerable to serious financial burdens if job losses continue to rise in their age bracket. July marked the third consecutive month Canada’s overall unemployment rate has increased; the rate stood at 5.2 per cent in May before it rose to 5.5 per cent in July, according to Statistic Canada.

Why Canada needs to charge citizens who left to join the Islamic State

Over the course of the past few months, Canada has repatriated a number of Canadian women from Kurdish-run refugee camps in Syria. These women are believed to have travelled overseas to join and participate in building the Islamic State.

Last week, Kimberly Polman, who left Canada in 2014 to join the Islamic State, appeared in a B.C. courtroom after being repatriated in October. It remains unclear whether Ms. Polman will be charged under Canada’s terrorism laws, despite the federal government’s statement that prosecuting terrorism offences is a priority. Few charges have been brought against other women who left Canada to join the Islamic State.

Lawyers ask Canada’s Supreme Court to hear case of 4 Psycho Muslim Members Of ISIS being held in northeastern Syria

Lawyers for the families of four Canadian men detained in northeastern Syria are asking the Supreme Court of Canada to rule on whether the federal government has to repatriate them.

The men are among many foreign nationals in Syrian detention camps for suspected ISIS members and their families. The camps are run by the Kurdish forces that reclaimed the war-torn region from the extremist group.

In January, Federal Court Justice Henry Brown ruled the four men were entitled to have the federal government make a formal request for their release “as soon as reasonably possible.”

Tasha Kheiriddin: Liberal inaction permitting China to colonize Canada

When will Prime Minister Justin Trudeau call a public inquiry into Chinese interference in Canadian elections? Answer: never, if he can help it. There is no upside in this exercise. It is like getting a root canal for a rotten tooth or fixing a leaky sewer system: a lot of pain, disruption, and expense for no visible improvement. Few see what lies beneath the surface, and most won’t appreciate it when it is fixed.

The Liberals broke the education visa system, but they had lots of help

 

Over the last two decades, the number of foreign students studying in Canada has increased almost sevenfold, to more than 800,000. The jump has been particularly sharp in recent years. At the end of 2022, there were nearly half a million more visa students than in 2015.

At first blush, this sounds like a success story: Canadian higher education must be so outstanding that record numbers from around the world are lining up to pay university and college tuitions several times higher than those for Canadian students.

I wonder which Liberal palms are being greased?

No charges yet after Edmonton police read Riot Act to quell violent clashes within Eritrean community

It was a chaotic scene with few if any parallels in Edmonton’s history: hundreds of men clashing on a field — some in blue, others in orange — carrying sticks and poles flying brightly coloured flags.

Now, police are investigating the weekend violence, which pitted members of the city’s Eritrean community against one another and led officers to take the rare step of proclaiming the Riot Act.

Doctor sues Queen’s University for allegedly pushing him out of job over his COVID opinions

When the frightening, frantic first waves of COVID-19 hit Canada in March 2020, Dr. Matt Strauss worked in intensive care at a Kingston, Ont., hospital and taught at Queen’s University medical school.

He volunteered for extra shifts at Kingston Health Sciences Centre to help with the crush of patients, but a much less dramatic development now anchors his public place in the pandemic: he started sharing his thoughts about pandemic response.

John Robson: By Visiting Beijing, Guilbeault Is Making Common Cause With Tyrants

If the Babylon Bee claimed Canada’s environment minister was an official climate advisor to the Chinese communist regime, you’d call it too heavy-handed for effective satire. When he really is on the executive committee of the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development which our aid money helped found, you’d call reality too heavy-handed for effective satire.

What is Guilbeault thinking being the only foreign government official on this body? What is his boss thinking letting him? And what does the Politburo even want him for?

This shows how deep Trudeau has his head up Xi Jinping’s butt and the contempt he holds for Canada.

The cruelty of Canada’s euthanasia policy

Its liberal Maid programme has been turned into a political weapon

With uncharacteristic humility, I would concede that a few positions I’ve argued fiercely in print might be viable on paper, but in practice are a disaster. The “war on drugs” being a fiasco, years ago I advocated the legalisation of recreational pharmaceuticals. But given the dirty, dangerous, dismal tent cities full of addicts in LA, San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland — which have all effectively decriminalised drug possession — it may be fortunate that glib journalists like me don’t control public policy.

Liberals created conditions for housing chaos but blame everyone but themselves.

Ottawa considering a cap on international students to ease housing pressure, says Fraser

Canada hosted more than 800,000 international students last year, according to the government’s figures.

“When you see some of these institutions that have five, six times as many students enrolled as they have spaces for them in the building … you’ve got to start to ask yourself some pretty tough questions,” he said.

 

This “moment of clarity” likely came about because the Globe mentioned publicly that they will shortly be publishing an expose on the abuse of the foreign students program and the Liberals are using the CBC to get ahead of the story.

Don’t forget the LPC have allowed their corporate cronies to import wage slaves on a whim.
