Pride in Canada’s military has eroded over the past year: report

Canadians have a high opinion of their military but recent sexual misconduct scandals in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) have damaged its reputation, says a new report commissioned by the Department of National Defence.

The report, which was prepared by Earnscliffe Strategy Group, includes results from a web and phone survey conducted in 2021 and a series of online discussions conducted by focus groups in 2022. It found participants’ opinions of the military are less positive now than previous studies reported and Canadians are growing more concerned about sexism and racism in the ranks.

I think this tells half the story. Few want a “woke” CAF.

Brothers Keeper gangster shot to death in Whistler

The brother of a gangster shot dead in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour was gunned down outside a Whistler hotel Sunday.

Gruesome video of Brothers Keepers gangster Meninder Dhaliwal, 29, and a second man lying face down began circulating shortly after the midday shooting in a busy commercial area in Whistler.

Sources confirmed that Dhaliwal, whose brother Harb was killed in Vancouver last year, died from his injuries. The condition and identity of the second victim has not been confirmed.

The dreamy little verities that Canadians took for granted are crumbling

Canadians who pay any attention to the world around them are gradually coming to realize they have been living in a fool’s paradise.

In that dreamy world, certain verities stood like granite pillars. Canadian housing was the safest investment you could imagine, a sure thing in an uncertain world. Inflation was a thing of the past, something that our parents or grandparents worried about.

Borrowing lots of money to buy houses and other nice things was only smart and sensible, the cost of loans was so low. The Canadian health system was second to none. Our national defence was in safe hands.

One by one, the pillars have been crumbling.

“Where are America’s Jewish Leaders?” on Islamist Antisemitism

“… You can imagine we, who found this out, were pretty upset,” Jacobs said, so he called an “emergency meeting” with the “Jewish leadership in Boston,” including the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish Federations, and the American Jewish Committee. APT showed them indisputable evidence from the ISBCC’s 2004 website, including a “how to beat your wife panel” that advised men to “hang up the whip where members of your household can see it.” Should your wife displease you, eventually you can “beat her on the ankles, then on the legs,” and so on. Although Boston’s Jewish leadership “has to be the most pro-feminist bunch of people that you’ve ever met,” this “didn’t faze them.”

Jacobs also showed the leaders checks from the mosque to terror organizations, and from those organizations back to the mosque. “Nothing helped,” he said, as the leaders decided to “give [the Islamists] the benefit of the doubt” because “they’ll come to know us and like us . . . because we’re likable.” Jacobs said he “begged the leaders” to “go tell the mayor of Boston what we know,” and to “go show them what the FBI says about these people.”

It’s damn near comical. And entirely applicable to Canada save for a few recent moments of clarity.

Canadians skeptical military will address sexual misconduct scandal: internal poll

Nearly 40 per cent of Canadians are not confident the Canadian Armed Forces will “appropriately” deal with allegations of sexual misconduct, according to internal National Defence polling reviewed by Global News.

And while the Canadian public continues to hold favourable views of their armed forces, the March 2022 report shows those positive feelings are declining amid ongoing misconduct scandals and concerns about racism within the ranks.

Unmarked Graves: Money or Justice?

July 2021: The scene is a live CBC broadcast from the former Mohawk Institute Residential School in Brantford, Ontario, where, similar to earlier claims in Kamloops, British Columbia, clandestine graves of missing Indigenous children are said to be located. From the teddy-bear-lined steps, reporter Bobby Hristova somberly states, “In terms of the search, we heard Chief Mark Hill say, ‘No Money. No response.’”

In a letter addressed to the Ontario Premier’s office, Chief Hill explains that the $400,000 annual grant secured from the Ontario government, later increased to $700,000 over a three-year period, “falls short and is not commensurate with Ontario’s role in operating the school.” The search for secret catacombs of Indigenous children is a growing Canadian industry, which repeatedly broadcasts that current funding increases are not enough for the “children to be brought home.”

A Media-Fueled Social Panic Over Unmarked Graves

Not a single body has been unearthed. But Canadians wouldn’t know it from the false information reported in The New York Times.

“The discovery of unmarked graves at a former Residential School in [the province of British Columbia] and the countrywide awakening it set off have been chosen as Canada’s news story of the year by editors in newsrooms across the country,” reported the CBC last December. It was an apt choice—though not necessarily for the reasons described by the author.

Ottawa Launches $2.4 Million Project to correct your Wrong-Think with government approved “Facts”

The Canadian government announced another measure on Thursday meant to impact the information space, this time with a $2.4 million investment to counter “harmful online disinformation.” The minister responsible for the file has cited a desire to “have a common set of facts” as part of the motivation behind the new measure.

The initiative funded by Canadian Heritage is meant to promote “civic, news, and digital media literacy through funding third-party educational activities and programming to help citizens become resilient against disinformation,” according to a statement.

“These projects will give Canadians skills and tools to tell fact from fiction online. We live and work better as a society when we have a common set of facts,” stated Minister of Canadian Heritage Pablo Rodriguez.

We’re living in a Banana Republic now.

Pastor Jailed For Holding Church Service During Canada’s Lockdown Wins Legal Victory

A Canadian court has awarded a major legal win to Artur Pawlowski, the pastor who was arrested and jailed for holding a church service during Alberta’s lockdown.

Pawlowski, the minister of Calgary Street Church, was arrested by Calgary police in dramatic fashion in the middle of a busy highway on May 8 last year as he was driving home from church, where his congregation had gathered without masks in violation of public health orders.

Where have all the workers gone? Don’t blame COVID, economists say

“… We are losing people who are trained as early childhood educators because we won’t pay them more than we pay pet groomers. Well why would they stay if they can get a better job in some other sector?”

That’s borne out by Statistics Canada data showing the reservation wage — the minimum hourly rate at which job seekers are willing to accept a position — surpassing the current offered wage in nearly every sector, whereas Canadian workers have historically been willing to settle for less.

Economists believe there are other possible outcomes — increasing automation to fill the vacuum left by the labour shortage, for one. Some industries could also bring in more temporary foreign workers to help fill gaps at the lower end of the labour market, potentially blunting the gains made by domestic workers.”

The article is  LPC propaganda offering the carrot of possibly increased wages for working people.

We all know the Trudeau government has chosen record mass immigration regardless of “fit” to make up the numbers the corporate welfare class needs to depress wages.

Even Ford is jumping on the open flood-gate bandwagon.

The article is contradicted by the Liberal Party’s own 2022 budget document: Douglas Todd: Why Canadian wages never seem to go up

 The downplayed chart, one tiny aspect of the 304-page document, serves as a warning that individual Canadians, compared to the citizens of 39 other economically advanced countries, will in the next decades likely suffer the lowest real growth in their wages.
