Slightly more than half of Ontarians currently support a return to a provincial mask mandate, with nearly three-quarters saying they would follow masking requirements should the government bring them back, a new public opinion survey by Forum Research suggests.
The poll, conducted for the Star, found 77 per cent of respondents said they either already wear masks or that they are prepared to wear them again.
In person, federal Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is relaxed and even cheery. But get him talking about the Bank of Canada (BoC), and he suddenly seems to vibrate on a higher intensity level.
“When I’m prime minister, we’ll have sound money. The Bank of Canada will have one job, and that’s to keep inflation at two per cent with an eye not just to CPI inflation, but asset price inflation. And that’s how we’re going to stabilize demand for assets like housing,” he says.
Even now he thinks they’re “games.” After all the warnings about the Chinese Communist Party’s sinister intentions and methods, our prime minister told a news conference: “Unfortunately we’re seeing that countries, state actors from around the world, whether it’s China or others, are continuing to play aggressive games with our institutions, with our democracies.” If these manoeuvres are “games,” the state actors are playing for keeps. We don’t seem to be.
Canadians pay more for health care through their taxes than 29 comparable countries with universal health care, while enduring the longest wait times for treatment among the 10 that track this data, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute.
God only knows what it’s going to take.
Twelve years ago, the warning came from Richard Fadden, then the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. At least two provincial cabinet ministers and several municipal politicians were more or less puppets of the People’s Republic of China, he said, initially avoiding mentioning China by name, for the sake of discretion. “I’m making this comment because I think it’s a real danger that people be totally oblivious to this kind of issue,” Fadden said at the time.
Unless a very damaging leak emerges nothing will be done.
Canada’s China Class exemplified by sleazebags such as Dominic Barton, currently involved with turning what’s left of Canada into a 3rd world shithole via mass immigration, hold sway with our political class.
Canada has been sold out by our elites.
High inflation and COVID-19 are dampening some Canadians’ hopes for travelling as the holiday season approaches, a new poll indicates.
Right now, 77 per cent of 1,001 Canadians Ipsos surveyed exclusively for Global News in October said they’re comfortable travelling within Canada over the holidays, while 55 per cent said the same for international travel.
Not all Canadians: Trudeau will miss Remembrance Day ceremony for holiday in Cambodia
Reacting to claims that China interfered in the 2019 federal election, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has failed to protect Canada’s democracy and Conservative MPs are pushing for a parliamentary committee investigation.
Poilievre made the remarks in Vancouver while Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly was giving a speech in Toronto about the release of the Liberal government’s forthcoming Indo-Pacific strategy.
“It’s very troubling that the prime minister has known about allegations about foreign interference in Canadian elections since last January and he hasn’t taken any action,” Poilievre said.
The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) has mandated that all sailors stationed at sea must receive up-to-date COVID-19 vaccinations, which includes at least one booster shot “within the last six months.”
“My direction remains that only sailors with up to date vaccinations, defined as the primary vaccination series plus either a booster within the last 6 months or a confirmed recovery from a COVID-19 infection within the last 6 months, be employed or undergo training as a member of crew aboard HMC ships and submarines,” wrote RCN Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee in a Nov. 4 unclassified memo obtained by The Epoch Times.
“China is an increasingly disruptive, global power,” Joly told a Toronto audience. “It seeks to shape the global environment into one that is more permissive for interests and values that increasingly depart from ours.
Actually China’s values are much admired by PM Arsehole and he loves the money they dump in his foundation, not to mention their very “Liberal” campaign donations.
A report authored by a police consultant and distributed by the former Ottawa Police Service (OPS) chief says the Freedom Convoy protests were a “movement by right wing Christians” who wished to attract followers.
“It’s a movement by right wing Christians who used mandates as a pretense to gain a following and privileged access as ‘protesters,’” wrote Erin Kelly, CEO of the contracted market research firm Advanced Symbolics Inc., in an email to Ottawa Police officials on Feb. 6, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
OPS chief at the time, Peter Sloly, urged in a subsequent email that the consultant’s report be widely distributed among OPS officials, saying that it provides “really important insights.”
You can just see the thought process here… Hmmm gotta justify my invoice… I know!! Demonize Christians!! The Trudeau government loves that!!
OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau’s acknowledgement that the Chinese are playing “aggressive games” by interfering in Canadian elections is about as shocking as Captain Renault finding gambling was rampant at Rick’s Cafe in Casablanca.
The prime minister was responding to questions raised in an excellent Global News report about China targeting Canada with a campaign of interference in the 2019 election that included payments through intermediaries to at least 11 federal candidates.
Eight out of 10 Canadians say China has negative influence on world affairs: poll
More than 84 per cent of Canadians feel China has a negative influence on world affairs and only 8 per cent believe Ottawa should make closer ties with the country a priority, a new Nanos Research poll shows.
The same survey, commissioned by The Globe and Mail, found more than 46 per cent of Canadians feel the United States has a negative influence on world affairs.
But, nevertheless, more than two-thirds of Canadians surveyed felt Canada should make closer ties with the U.S. a priority.
It took Junior an awfully long time to speak out against China, he hasn’t acted just spewed hot air.
Will Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover have ‘big implications’ for Canada’s upcoming — and already contentious — online harms bill?
… Canadian lawmakers are already thinking about the battle ahead.
“The reality is Elon Musk and his takeover of Twitter have been disastrous, not just for the complete incoherence of Twitter, but the fact that he has — in a very real sense through his words and his actions — helped to promote hate,” said NDP heritage critic Peter Julian, who will be one of the MPs tasked with scrutinizing the online safety bill when it is introduced.
“The fact that they have gutted many of the jobs that were designed to curb hate through Twitter, and his deliberate fostering of disinformation and hate, is going to have an even greater impact.”
Last year’s federal budget gave the CBC an extra $21 million “to ensure its stability during the pandemic.” And last week’s fall fiscal update from Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland gave CBC yet another $42 million (on top of its annual taxpayer grant of nearly $1.3 billion) “to help CBC/Radio-Canada recover from the pandemic.”
