Former CBC Journalist Tells National Citizen’s Inquiry That National Broadcaster Censored Stories on COVID-19 Vaccine Harms

A former journalist with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) testified at the National Citizen’s Inquiry (NCI) in Ottawa on May 18, saying that the news outlet failed in its coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic by barring journalists from writing stories on lockdown harms, COVID-19 vaccine injuries, and protests against vaccine mandates.

“I know that as a public broadcaster, you’d expect us to be telling you the truth, and we stopped doing that,” said former CBC Manitoba reporter Marianne Klowak. “And it was a number of stories that I have put forward that were blocked, but it seemed to me as a journalist who’d been there 34 years, it’s like the rules had changed overnight. And it changed so quickly that it left me just dizzy.”

The Horror! Pierre Poilievre has made the job of Justin Trudeau’s ‘ski buddy’ almost impossible

Long before David Johnston was given a role in Canada’s foreign-interference saga, and even before he served as governor general under a past prime minister, he had a walk-on part in a famous work of fiction.

Johnston was the real-life inspiration for the character “Davey Johnston” in Erich Segal’s tragic novel “Love Story,” which was made into one of the most wept-over films of the 1970s, starring Ryan O’Neal and Ali MacGraw.

So what made an over privileged frat boy become a ChiCom sympathizer?

Senior Conservative says foreign interference taskforce didn’t work in 2021 election

OTTAWA – A senior Conservative campaign official said the government’s system for sharing foreign interference information left him with the impression there were no major issues during the campaign.

Walied Soliman, who was co-chair of the Conservatives 2021 campaign, was also one of the party’s representatives to a special task force of Canada’s intelligence agencies.

Bill Blair significantly delayed approval of CSIS surveillance on LPC powerbroker Michael Chan as if to avoid scandal during 2021 election

Bill Blair took months to approve CSIS surveillance of Liberal powerbroker, national-security source says

… Although lawyers for CSIS and independent counsel from the Justice Department approved the warrant as did the office of CSIS director David Vigneault, the source said Mr. Blair, a former Toronto police chief, did not sign off on it until June.

The four-month delay left little time for CSIS to get the approval of a federal judge and to figure out the best ways to plant bugs in Mr. Chan’s cars, home, office, computers and mobile phones before the election campaign got under way.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau triggered the election in August, 2021, for Sept. 20 – a ballot in which the Liberals returned to power with another minority government.

The LPC is in the bag to China.

Winnipeg Lab Documents – Why Did It Take so Long and What Could They Reveal?

Will the public finally be provided some details behind the mysterious firing of Chinese-Canadian scientists who were working at the country’s top biosafety lab?

The Liberal government announced on May 17 that an ad-hoc committee of selected MPs will be able to review documents pertaining to the matter, and a panel of arbiters composed of three former justices will decide what can be released to the public.

Up to now, the government has resisted revealing details about the scientists Qiu Xiangguo and Cheng Keding, who were escorted out of Winnipeg’s National Microbiology Lab (NML) in 2019 amid a police probe and then fired in January 2021.

Douglas Todd: NDP goes after housing ‘profiteers’ in cabinet and big business

Analysis: “Politicians are profiteering on housing,” says the NDP’s Jenny Kwan, as Canada’s housing minister buys a second rental apartment.

It’s time to make life difficult for federal politicians and big corporations that “profiteer from housing,” says the federal NDP’s housing critic.

Liberal cabinet ministers who play the real-estate market for personal gain — and the giant housing corporations to which they have given massive tax breaks — need pushback, says Vancouver East MP Jenny Kwan.


Why does the MSM avoid discussing mass immigration’ impact on the housing shortage? Because many pols profit from it.

Last year, 62 Liberal MPs (including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau) received money from investment properties, as did 54 Conservative MPs; six Bloc Quebecois MPs, and four NDP MPs (not including leader Jagmeet Singh).

Peter MacKay: Trudeau’s cynical gutting of Canadian history

When U.S. President Joe Biden addressed the Canadian Parliament in March, one phrase caught my attention: “A country,” he said, quoting former president Barack Obama, “is never more optimistic than its president or its leaders.” It was a message that was evidently lost on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Canada’s latest export to the U.S. — 5,000 cancer patients

Anyone willing to look at actual data, or listen to real patient stories, has known for years Canadian health care is in perilous territory. Whether it’s ER wait times, hallway health care, surgical backlogs or the severe shortage of family doctors, the system isn’t working.

Unfortunately, any debate about how to fix it was stymied for years by leftist politicians who insisted critiquing Canadian health care was tantamount to treachery. They found it much more politically profitable to accuse Conservatives of wanting to import U.S.-style privatization, despite the fact literally no Conservative politicians were suggesting this.

Why Does Communist China Need Over 170 Diplomats in Canada?

Opposition MPs are asking why the Chinese diplomat recently expelled for being involved in threatening an MP’s family wasn’t removed sooner after it emerged that Canada’s intelligence agency knew for several years that he was spying on Falun Gong adherents and Uyghurs in Canada.

As of the time of this writing, there are 177 Chinese diplomats in Canada, including their representatives to the International Civil Aviation Organization in Montreal. This is second only to the United States, Canada’s closest ally and neighbour to the south, with 291 diplomats. The country with the third-highest number of diplomats in Canada is Japan, with 80 diplomats.

Confidential report reveals untold story of Cameron Ortis, RCMP’s troubled national intelligence centre

Senior RCMP officials were hoping to bring their national intelligence program to “the next level” when they put Cameron Ortis in charge, according to an independent review conducted following his arrest.

Hoping to boost their reputation with international partners like the FBI, the RCMP made Ortis director-general of the National Intelligence Coordination Centre and told him to begin an overhaul.

They also wanted Ortis, a civilian with a PhD, to begin using highly classified information to improve the quality of RCMP intelligence, the review found.

No wonder Canada is an international pariah.

Inside Canada’s most popular people smuggling route

The water of the St. Lawrence River runs brown in tempestuous weather. Hemmed in by coarse scrub, it swirls around the marshes and through the channels, the tips of the waves white and frothing as it charts a course from the Great Lakes to the North Atlantic Ocean.

Even in mild weather, the river must be navigated carefully for cross-currents, shallows and shoals. The locals know not to tempt it when it’s choppy.

Doug Ford, Chrystia Freeland spar over whose stash of tax payer cash should be used to rescue Stellantis corporate welfare scheme

OTTAWA – Queen’s Park and Ottawa are at a standoff over funding for a multi-billion battery plant in Windsor, Ont., with the 2,500 jobs hanging in the balance as the company threatens to walk away if a deal can’t be reached.

Stellantis and its partner LG announced the battery plant in January 2022, pledging to create 2,500 new jobs in the community with the $5-billion plant. Details were kept secret at the time, but the company appears to have received $1 billion, split between the federal and provincial governments, to build the plant.
