The United People of Canada tried once again to explain its presence in St. Brigid’s church in a rambling Saturday afternoon media conference live-streamed on Facebook and continually disrupted by hecklers.
Speaking to a gathering of about 30 people in the deconsecrated Catholic church, TUPOC’s Diane Nolan asserted that an eviction notice served this past week was invalid, and she said the group deserved an apology for how it had been characterized.
Providing clean hydrogen to Germany and the rest of Europe is a better opportunity for Canada than trying to build liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals as the world moves away from fossil fuels, said Canada’s natural resources minister late on Thursday.
Canada and Germany are discussing building LNG terminals on the Canadian Atlantic coast within the next five years ahead of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Canadian visit next week. Germany has been trying to wean itself from its dependence on Russian gas since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February.
But the costs of transporting gas from Alberta in the Canadian west to the East Coast would be high. A new pipeline would be needed, and the global shift away from fossil fuels means the terminal’s lifetime would be too short to be profitable unless converted into a hydrogen terminal when gas demand declines.
“We’re working through those issues. But what I would say is… on the East Coast, the big opportunity is hydrogen,” Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson told Reuters.
As fall approaches, experts are urging Canadian governments to create new COVID-19 vaccine campaigns to try to boost the country’s stagnant inoculation rate to avoid overwhelming an already strained health-care system.
About 82 per cent of the entire population is fully vaccinated, with roughly half receiving a third dose and just 11 per cent getting a fourth shot, the latest federal data reported on July 17 shows. Aside from fourth doses, which became available this summer, vaccination coverage hasn’t moved significantly in months.
Fatima Sherefa, 17, had a rough night at Toronto’s Pearson Airport on Aug. 6.
Her flight from Toronto home to Winnipeg had been delayed several times and then, just after midnight, it was cancelled.
Sherefa says Air Canada staff didn’t offer hotel accommodation for the night, and instead passed out yoga mats to stranded travellers.
Canada’s real estate bubble went from a small localized problem in pricey cities to a country-wide failure. Excessively long use of low rates from the Bank of Canada (BoC) drove tens of thousands of excess home sales over the past two years. Now that rates are rising, purchase volumes have suddenly cratered and prices are beginning to come back down to normal. Just how many excess sales did the BoC stimulate? Let’s crunch the numbers, but first we should explain the how and why monetary policy influences sales.
There are about 38 million people in Canada.
Thus, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find someone who hasn’t said a bunch of anti-Semitic things.
Particularly if someone is being hired by the government for an ‘anti-racism’ project.
It is a peculiar time, to put it mildly, to be arguing for higher drug prices in Canada. Inflation is surging in every part of the country, confronting poor and working-class people with excruciatingly difficult choices. As wages and benefits erode, a growing share of Canadians are forced to ask themselves: do I pay the rent, buy groceries or fill my prescriptions?
On June 14, the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suspended its controversial vaccine mandates as they applied to federal workplaces and for travel, the two sectors where the federal government had the authority to issue regulations. However, ministers made it clear that the mandates weren’t dead but merely suspended and could be revived if circumstances warranted.
Prime Minister Trudeau slapped a ban on handgun imports until proposed legislation that would ban the sale and purchase of handguns, among other gun control measures, can be voted on by the Canadian Parliament. The import ban was a knee-jerk reaction after Canadians rushed to buy firearms when the Trudeau administration introduced legislation to end handgun sales.
Prime Minister Trudeau isn’t waiting for a debate or a vote. He’s operating by executive fiat. He’s acting like a mini-tyrant, and it’s not the first time he’s trampled on Canadian’s ability to own guns or even protest their own government.
Feds probe ‘disturbing’ tweets by consultant on government-funded anti-racism project
OTTAWA — The federal diversity minister says he’s taking action over “disturbing” tweets by a senior consultant on an anti-racism project that received $133,000 from his department.
Ahmed Hussen has asked Canadian Heritage to “look closely at the situation” after what he called “unacceptable behaviour” by Laith Marouf, a senior consultant involved in the government-funded project to combat racism in broadcasting.
This was no accident.
The owner of a historic church in Ottawa’s Lowertown neighbourhood is evicting a group with ties to the ‘Freedom Convoy’ occupation planning to purchase the property this fall, in an apparent dispute over unpaid rent for the facility.
A “Notice of Termination of Tenant” notice on the front door of St. Brigid’s Church on St. Patrick Street says the landlord has terminated the occupancy of the United People of Canada under the Commercial Tenancies Act, and the locks will be changed.
Previous articles stated the group had purchased the Church it appears they were not planning to do so until the fall.
Three of Canada’s major airports, Montreal-Trudeau International, Calgary International, and Toronto’s Pearson International, will be getting biometrics-ready kiosks provided by Switzerland-based aviation IT firm SITA.
According to a press release, some of the seven hundred boarding and checking kiosks will have biometric scanning features but it is not clear how many will have contactless biometric features.
The last of the kiosks will be installed in early 2023. The company confirmed the kiosks have text-to-speech hardware.
As Democrats celebrate the passage of a bill that will entrench the government in our healthcare, our neighbors to the north provide a chilling example of the effects of socialized medicine. A recent Associated Press expose about the culture of death within Canada’s single-payer system shows how putting the government in charge of healthcare leads to the devaluing of human life, particularly the most vulnerable.
The Associated Press noted that Canada has some of the loosest and most permissive laws on euthanasia in the entire world.
RCMP buff in Ontario spent 2 weeks in jail following N.S. massacre
Warren Thwing collects model trains and Avro Arrow paraphernalia, posters and stamps. The keepsakes at his home in Kingston, Ont., span aviation, hockey, Star Trek and car racing. But by far his biggest haul is of RCMP memorabilia.
“I have always been a lover of the Mounties,” he said in an interview with CBC News. “I wanted to join the RCMP years ago, but I was that short on the height requirement — it was five foot eight, and I was a half-inch short.”
Who the hell makes this sort of decision?
Posters against the group setting up shop in the former St. Brigid’s church in Lowertown will have to come down because they violate city bylaws, according to the head of Ottawa Bylaw and Regulatory Services.
The posters said, “St. Brigid’s belongs to our community not to the convoy.”
… The posters point to a Horizon Ottawa petition calling for the city to step in and find another buyer or buy the property itself.
Ottawa must be inhabited by Canada’s communist party.
The convoy group purchased the church but the creeps want it confiscated.
What country do they think live in?
