Conservative voters less likely to say they’re proud to be Canadian, survey suggests

Canadians’ pride in their nationality, like most things these days, seems to be divided down partisan lines, a new poll suggests.

While a strong majority of the 1,512 respondents to the survey by Leger said they were proud to be Canadian — 81 per cent — the poll suggests the feeling is less common among Conservative supporters than their Liberal counterparts.

Experts say that while the results of the survey may be surprising given Conservatives’ reputation as a patriotic party, it reflects their discontent with the direction in which Canada is headed.

Canadian Soldier’s Refusal of COVID Vaccination Not a ‘Conduct Deficiency,’ Grievance Committee Rules

An independent military administrative tribunal has determined that a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) veteran had not shown a “conduct deficiency” in refusing COVID-19 vaccination and was therefore wrongfully expelled from the organization.

“I find that refusing vaccination should not have been considered a conduct deficiency since it was an exercise of a right protected by the Charter and recognized by existing laws and regulations,” wrote Nina Frid of the Military Grievances External Review Committee (MGERC) in a June 20 decision.

Roxham Road benefit shopper makes good in Canada after fleeing the Hellscape of Donald Trump’s America!

Refugee who first fled Afghanistan then Trump’s America graduates U of T with goal to help others

… However, his stay in the U.S. didn’t last long. He arrived in the country in 2018, during the Donald Trump administration, and Malikyar said it “wasn’t a good idea for me to stay” because of the then-president’s anti-immigration agenda.

During his month-long stay in the U.S., Malikyar heard his hometown was under attack by the Taliban, so he reckoned his next best option would be to cross into Canada through Roxham Road and claim asylum. And so he did.

What horseshit.

University Of Waterloo: 2 Students And A Professor Stabbed During Gender Issues Class

Two students and a university professor have been stabbed during a class on gender issues, police said.

The incident occurred at the University of Waterloo in Canada — located approximately 70 miles west of Toronto — when authorities from the Waterloo Regional Police Service were called at 3:35 p.m. to a “report of a stabbing inside a classroom at Hagey Hall,” police said in a statement detailing the attack.

I can’t make out what this is.

More… The attacker — who was “quickly” arrested — has only been identified by police as a “confirmed member of the university community.”

Chasing the ‘Aldi effect’: Why it’s hard for discount grocers to break into Canada

But Charlebois also points the finger at the Competition Bureau, arguing its policing of the industry “devalues” Canada’s reputation as a good place to do business.

A push to bring more competition into the Canadian grocery sector in the form of discount European brands such as Aldi and Lidl would face steep obstacles in Canada’s fragmented marketplace, experts say.

The Competition Bureau’s probe into concentration among Canada’s grocers released Tuesday highlighted the role international competitors could play in lowering prices as food inflation continues to cause pain at the grocery store.

When you let Billionaires off with a slap on the wrist for a 14 year long price fixing grift foreign competion gets the message that the hometown Oligopolies rule in Canada.

Racist Canadian Smoke Stalks Blacks Warns Great White Weather Girl!

 

Smoke from Canada wildfires is increasing health risks in Black and poorer U.S. communities

DETROIT – Smoky air from Canada’s wildfires shrouded broad swaths of the U.S. from Minnesota to New York and Kentucky on Wednesday, prompting warnings to stay inside and exacerbating health risks for people already suffering from industrial pollution.

The impacts are particularly hard on poor and minority communities that are more likely to live near polluting plants and have higher rates of asthma. Detroit, a mostly Black city with a poverty rate of about 30 per cent, had some of the worst air quality in the U.S. on Wednesday, prompting the Environmental Protection Agency to warn that “everyone should stay indoors.”

I guess poor White people or Chinese or Himalayans don’t merit special mention other than to be relegated to a 2nd class “othering”.

They must think Blacks need the Great White Weather Girl’s benevolent guidance.

Oh look! The EPA has an excuse to desensitize you to the prospect of a climate lockdown! Once a genie is out of the bottle….

5th Columnist Group Marches to Chinese Military Anthem During Parliament Hill Protest

A group of demonstrators marched to the Chinese military anthem on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on June 24 during a protest that was advertised as marking the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Immigration Act, which restricted virtually all Chinese immigration to Canada.

However, the organizers have used the act and its anniversary to promote opposition to proposed legislation to create a foreign agent registry in Canada, with one calling the bill “Exclusion 2.0,” a reference to the 1923 legislation, which is also known as the Chinese Exclusion Act.

Trudeau says opposition has to promise to believe his insane bullshit before launching new foreign interference probe

Trudeau says ‘full buy-in’ from opposition needed before launching new foreign interference probe

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government won’t be announcing any next steps on probing foreign interference until the Liberals get “full buy-in” from the opposition parties, to avoid the process devolving as it did under former special rapporteur David Johnston.

“As we put forward proposals to the other parties on how we can move forward to restore Canadians’ confidence in our abilities to fight foreign interference, we will ensure before we launch any next process, that there is full buy-in by the other parties on how it will be done, and who will do it,” Trudeau told reporters on Wednesday.

Canada welcomes largest number of immigrants in first quarter since at least 1972

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the country welcomed more than 145,000 immigrants during the first three months of the year.

That’s the highest number for a single quarter on record, since comparable data became available in 1972.

No one in the PC Party has spoken out about this assault on Canada.

Rex Murphy: Ontario school board ‘cultivates’ vapid verbiage while its students and teachers suffer

Joseph Brean very recently wrote an excellent article about a school in crisis in Mississauga, Ont. The substance of his article was a cri de coeur about rampant violence in the hallways, threats against staff, and the school board’s heavy-handed response to a teacher who dared to speak out. It is a frightening account.

The article included comments from a Peel District School Board spokesperson. It is these remarks I’d like to deal with, particularly the jargon-infested, warm-dough language, non-substance reply to Brean’s questions.

Poilievre seizes the moment on Atlantic Canada carbon-tax fears

At 10 Bucks A Loaf They Better Put The Gluten Back!

On the day that the Liberal government released its climate change adaptation strategy, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was on an axe-the-carbon-tax tour of Atlantic Canada, seizing a golden political opportunity.

The four Atlantic Canadian premiers have joined together to ask Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to delay a July hike in carbon prices, because they worry about a consumer backlash. This week, Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston published an op-ed insisting it will make life unaffordable.

Canada considers Quebec woman with six children in Syria a security risk, lawyer says

OTTAWA – A lawyer says Canada will not repatriate a Quebec woman being held in Syria with her six children because officials believe she poses a security risk.

Lawyer Lawrence Greenspon, who has been working to bring the woman home, said he was advised of the decision recently by Global Affairs Canada.

The department wrote on June 21 that the woman has “extremist ideological beliefs” that may lead her to act violently, and the government cannot ensure no such conduct occurs, he said Monday.

None of them should have been allowed back. They are not victims.
