Canada’s housing and immigration policies are at odds

Housing affordability has metastasized from a Toronto and Vancouver problem to a national crisis. Double-digit rent increases have hit traditionally more affordable communities coast to coast, and the cost of home ownership remains persistently high amid rising interest rates. One of the main reasons for the lack of affordability, according to our recent report, is the misalignment between Canada’s different levels of government.

The article is crap, they want your house, they want you poor and desperate to work for any wage.

Justin Trudeau Shrugs at Chinese Election Interference

Canada has been rocked in recent weeks by leaks indicating the government knew about Chinese meddling in recent elections. A Feb. 17 report in the Globe and Mail newspaper suggests that Beijing was actively meddling in Canada’s democracy at every level: federal, provincial and municipal. The leaks also reveal that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has responded to reports of interference with obstruction, obfuscation and only minor concessions.

Accepted Pay For Play ChiCom Payoff: Board, CEO of Pierre Elliott Trudeau foundation steps down

Citing politicization of a 2016 donation allegedly orchestrated by the Chinese government, the board of directors for the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation has stepped aside.

A statement posted to the foundation’s website early Tuesday morning broke the news, saying President and CEO Pascale Fournier and the board made the decision to jointly resign.

“In recent weeks, the political climate surrounding a donation received by the foundation in 2016 has put a great deal of pressure on the foundation’s management and volunteer board of directors, as well as on our staff and our community,” read the statement.

Is Canada’s China Class starting to sweat?

Jamie Sarkonak: The revenge of Caylan Ford after hit job ended her political career

It’s been four years since the torpedoing of the political career of former United Conservative Party candidate Caylan Ford. In 2019, Ford’s campaign for the UCP in Calgary was cut short after a friend-turned-adversary leaked private messages to left-wing publication Press Progress, damaging her campaign and falsely painting her as a white supremacist.

Rex Murphy: The special rapporteur and a special Alberta election

… Does not Mr. Johnston see that both the ties of friendship with the family, and his heading an organization exclusively set up to honour the prime minister’s father, are at the very least cause for a perception of conflict of interest?

He knows, he just doesn’t give a shit. Not that it matters as everyone knows it’s a pointless pantomime of transparency.

Biden’s Northern Border Deal With Trudeau Has Major Loophole, Memo Shows

This Tibetan-Canadian activist has been sounding the alarm on Chinese interference for years

From what I can tell, China has done a superb job intimidating emigres in Canada.

Nobody I reached out to in the Alberta business or research community wants to talk about intimidation by Beijing — on the record — except for one. He’s Nima Dorjee, a Tibetan-Canadian who has been raising the alarm bells for decades now on China’s interference. He has an axe to grind, or maybe an axe to hone.

When anarchists attack

I’d start my investigation by tailing this asshole.

How police say a peaceful, Indigenous-led protest over a B.C. pipeline was hijacked by violent outsiders

A security guard was swarmed in a truck near a worksite by a group of people in masks and camouflage firing flare guns. He was then forced to flee into the dead of night, while the assailants escaped.

When the RCMP released those details last week about a recent incident along the Coastal GasLink pipeline project near Houston, B.C., they could have copied and pasted them from a news release they issued more than a year ago.

But that’s where the comparison ends.

BUT WHITE SUPREMACISTS ARE THE REAL THREAT!

‘Liberals in trouble’ over China’s attempted meddling in Canadian elections, say pollsters

The China interference story has ‘long legs, and some twists and turns.’ The Liberals should be ‘quite concerned because if the current Conservative advantage consolidates and the longer the numbers stay here, it becomes the new normal, and it will require more effort to dislodge the trend line,’ says pollster Nik Nanos.

Afghan refugees rescued and brought to US were racist and sexist towards those tasked with helping them, and turned their noses up at accommodation they were offered, State Department report says

Afghan refugees who were rescued and brought back to the US have been accused of being racist and sexist towards those helping them, a bombshell report has found.

Some of them are said to have launched verbal abuse at staff and even turned their noses up at accommodation they were given.

The claims emerged in a State Department report that looked at the resettlement of around 73,000 Afghan evacuees brought in last year and in 2021.

Just say no to Islam.

MacDougall: Poilievre must aim at the right target

“You come at the King, you best not miss.”

Ayo, lesson here. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre might not be a gun-for-hire like the fictional Baltimore street thug Wee-Bey from David Simon’s TV classic The Wire. But Omar Little’s wise words to his failed executioner should be kept in Poilievre’s mind as he guns to replace Justin Trudeau as prime minister.

Canada’s relationship with the U.S. is in decline, and no one wants to talk about it

This past week, on the very same day Donald Trump was being placed under arrest in New York, many of the leading voices in the Canada-U.S. relationship were jammed into packed meeting rooms and corridors at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Toronto.

They were there to talk mainly about what’s going right between Canada and the United States, economically. They were not there to talk about what’s gone so wrong with Trump, or politics in general in the Trump era.

Yet whenever any speaker did broach the subject of Trump or, more broadly, the crumbling state of democracy in North America, a definite ripple went through the crowded ballroom.

When they say “polarization” they mean “We’re scared of the little people because of the shit we put them through.”

Man charged after threats uttered, car driven at Mosque worshipper: Cops

A man in a vehicle allegedly drove directly at a worshipper at a Markham mosque while yelling threats and religious slurs, according to witnesses.

York Regional Police say officers are treating the April 6 incident at the Denison St. mosque as a suspected hate-motivated crime.

He is of Indian origin, likely a Hindu so what we are seeing is vibrant diversity in action. There is a serious ongoing conflict between Hindus and Mohammedans in India.

GUNTER: Lightweight Liberals need to bolster Canada’s military

Canada’s armed forces are ready for emergency pronoun deployment under battlefield conditions.

During the Cold War, the term “Finlandization” was derogatory.

Sharing a 1,300-kilometre border with what was then the Soviet Union, Finland had to endorse (or at least not oppose) the U.S.S.R.’s foreign and military policy in order to retain some semblance of independence.

Finland wasn’t exactly a puppet state, but it wasn’t entirely free, either.

The term became a symbol of capitulation in the face of a powerful nation.

A pro-Russian hacking group may have targeted Canada’s energy infrastructure.

A hacking group, under the guidance of Russia’s Federal Security Service, may have compromised the I.P. address of a Canadian gas pipeline company in February and caused damage to its infrastructure, according to leaked Pentagon documents.

If the attack by the cybercriminal group, Zarya, succeeded, the intelligence report said, “it would mark the first time” the United States intelligence community “has observed a pro-Russia-hacking group execute a disruptive attack against Western industrial control systems.”
