The Canadian government’s massive annual donations of foreign aid to Third World countries is one of the most overlooked issues in our country.
From the point of view of a debt and inflation-ridden society, the situation is absurd. While Canada has been bogged down by an economically damaging pandemic, billions of dollars have flowed from government coffers to so-called “developing nations.”
It wasn’t a good week if you’re a consumer on a tight budget – and that means most of us. Consumers are under attack.
We’ve just learned that Canada’s food inflation rate was at a record 9.7% in May. Everyone is noticing higher food prices and no section of the grocery store is immune.
The Canadian Armed Forces didn’t have the “assets” to safely help clear the blockade in Coutts, Alta. earlier this year, while the Alberta government had the authority to deal with the problem itself under provincial legislation, Public Safety Canada told the emergency preparedness minister.
The briefing note was prepared by the department for Bill Blair in February, and obtained by the National Post through Access to Information. It was reacting to a letter from the Alberta government, asking for federal government help to clear the blockade at the border crossing in Coutts that began in support of the Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa.
The RCMP’s recent discovery of thousands of counterfeit toonies has raised concerns about the integrity of Canada’s banking system, through which they circulated with apparent ease.
It also raises a question: Why would anyone counterfeit the lowly toonie? The seized fakes seem to contradict the prevailing wisdom about counterfeiting: Since high denomination notes involve about the same amount of labour and input costs as low-value coins, $50 and $100 bills are far more attractive targets for fakery than toonies.
TORONTO, July 3 (Reuters) – Health authorities across Canada have cut the hours of hospital emergency departments and urgent care clinics in recent weeks, a move that in some cases may extend through the summer, due to a surge in patients and staff shortages.
The situation, clinicians say, is tied to a resurgence of viral infections such as COVID-19 among adults and children and a push by others to seek care delayed by the pandemic, and exacerbated by the high number of healthcare workers who are sick or burned out.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s second carbon tax — known as the Clean Fuel Standard — is the latest example of how his energy policies are drifting further away from reality, while punishing Canadians financially in the process.

Starting next year, Trudeau’s Clean Fuel Standard alone, according to an impact analysis done by the federal government itself, will raise the price of gasoline by six to 13 cents per litre and the price of diesel fuel by seven to 16 cents per litre by 2030.

The last two years have been increasingly difficult for Canadians as government lockdowns and mandates had a detrimental effect on everyone – particularly the unvaccinated. However, despite the government’s heavy-handed response to Covid, many Canadians are still optimistic about Canada.

Tamara Lich is getting a cellmate.
Toronto Police Det.-Const. Jeffrey Northrup was remembered by 52 Division on Saturday — the first anniversary of his death.
Northrup, 55, and his partner were investigating a stabbing in City Hall’s underground parking lot when it’s alleged the 31-year veteran was intentionally struck by a vehicle driven by Thornhill accountant Umar Zameer.
Very odd goings on.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s second carbon tax — known as the Clean Fuel Standard — is the latest example of how his energy policies are drifting further away from reality, while punishing Canadians financially in the process.
Andrew Peloso and Jeremy Regoto, the directors of the historic six-part docuseries “Trucking for Freedom,” said that unlike the legacy media, their goal was to capture what really happened on the frontlines of the 2022 Canadian Freedom Convoy trucker protests in Ottawa.
For Canada day a bunch of Pallies decided to share their views on Israel at a Thornhill strip-mall populated in part by Jewish owned businesses.
CPC MP Melissa Lantsman posted the first two videos below, an “Arab” voice posted the 3rd.
How is it possible to support mass immigration from Muslim states and not expect the Israel-Islam conflict to be played out in our streets?
During the decade following 911 both the LPC and CPC colluded to double the Islamist population in Canada from 500K to 1 Million roughly. Bear in mind that Harper was in power for most of that period.
That number has only increased.
Do our politicians and bureaucrats assume our magic Canadian soil will nullify the supremacist nature of Islam?
The protesters in the video are probably born in Canada and that means they have been indoctrinated here in the land of peace, order and good government to hate Israel, Jews and the rest of us in general.
Their hate is no longer imported, it has taken root here.
Is our political class even aware of what Islamists are doing to Europe? In cities across that continent the authorities have lost control of their streets and Muslim enclaves now form parallel societies.
What lays behind this seeming ignorance? Are they stupid? Evil? Or both?
Surely they can’t claim to live such busy & or sheltered lives that the goings on in Europe escaped their attention.
They certainly aren’t naïve. Naivete implies innocence and I’m not buying that for a minute.
Any politician who expresses “shocked surprise” over such incidents is lying and unfit to govern.
Sadly we will have to get used to it my fellow Canadians. We are following Europe’s path and it never gets better.
They murder Jews there.
Happening now: Protesters screaming free Palestine, yelling anti-Semitic slurs and intimidating Jews in #Thornhill outside a plaza of mainly kosher establishments. This is NOT anti Zionism —it’s a blatant act of #antisemitic hate which must be condemned by everyone. #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/T7eyzIJC14

Thank you to @YRP for acting swiftly, clearing the scene and taking this seriously.
Trust this antisemitic hate parade in our community is punished by the fullest extent of the law. #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/aBiPGmnCiz

The Pallie perspective
Think again. The growing numbers on the other side of the protest became an angry mob and the so-called “JDL” was there inciting violence. The young man was taken away for his safety. pic.twitter.com/gzRqVNKESL

Federal government to transfer willing asylum seekers from Roxham Road to Ontario
Fewer asylum seekers crossing at a popular, unofficial border point south of Montreal will be staying in Quebec, Radio-Canada has learned.
That’s because Ottawa has accepted a repeated request from the provincial government to transfer some people directly to Ontario — if they wish to go there.
With record numbers of claimants currently crossing via the makeshift border point, called Roxham Road, the federal government said it’s working to alleviate some of the pressure on Quebec to provide temporary resources and accommodation for people.
Just what we need in the midst of a housing crisis. No word from Ford on this.
Chief public health officer Theresa Tam says the racist, misogynistic abuse she’s faced during the pandemic have been a source of personal difficulty, and underscore the growing threat posed by the proliferation of misinformation about COVID-19.
“Being a visible woman from a visible minority background, if you like, was very difficult because of all the disinformation about origins of viruses and the politicization … of all of the beginnings of the pandemic, was quite difficult, as you can imagine,” Dr. Tam said.
So now she’s playing the race card. What a surprise.
