Canadian military veterans play outsized role in extremist anti-government movements: report

Canadian military veterans play an outsized role in anti-government movements, a shift exacerbated by pandemic restrictions, according to a report by an extremist monitoring organization that tracks online activity.
The influence of former military status within anti-government movements is so strong that some adherents falsely claim to be veterans to bolster their status as leaders, the report says.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Proposes Trading Democrats for Canadian Guns

Republican U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has denounced Canada’s proposed ban on handguns, while offering to trade Democrats for the Canadian government’s “unwanted” guns.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Greene blasted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s proposed ban, which was announced on Monday. The Georgia Republican said that her disapproval of the proposal had led “Democrat blue check marks & blueanons” on Twitter to discuss a U.S. annex of “defenseless Canada” because they were in favor of “Trudeau’s wokeness & tyrannical dictatorship.”
Liberals End Debate On The Online News Act

Bill C-18 – the Online News Act – will no longer be debated.
The Liberals – along with the support of the NDP – voted to end debate on the legislation.
As noted by Michael Geist, this means that the Liberal heritage minister – in charge of pushing the legislation – spent more time debating the end of debate on C-18 than he did debating the legislation itself.
A reminder (since Trudeau apparently forgot) that Canadian gun law is already way stricter than the U.S.

After word leaked earlier this month that the U.S. Supreme Court was set to overturn federal guarantees on abortion, Trudeau immediately issued a statement touting how “every woman in Canada has a right to a safe and legal abortion.” When Black Lives Matter protests roiled the United States last summer, Trudeau was quick to “take a knee” for photographers on the streets of Ottawa. And now, after a mass shooter killed 19 at an elementary school in Texas last week, Trudeau has responded with a slate of new restrictions on Canadian gun ownership.
24 Hours With Trudeau: Guns Seized, Vaccine Lockdown, Internet Censorship

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has had a busy 24-hours. Within a one day period, the newly established Liberal-NDP Socialist Coalition government accomplished the following tasks:
Passed legislation to ban and collect handguns. Shut down Parliamentary debate regarding Internet Censorship. Overthrow opposition Conservative motion to end Covid lockdowns for the unvaccinated.
A triple play of draconian measures it is. Smooth sailing through the House of Commons it was, thanks to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s agreement to play back up goalie for Justin Trudeau’s pseudo-communist Liberal team.
No amount of left-wing witchcraft will support claims that Poilievre is Trump

Students of demonology, witchcraft, necromancy and the dark arts in general (of which I am certain Canada maintains many adherents) are aware that in one aspect of their practice — the casting of spells, incantations, etc. — it is important to get the words right.

Liberals Ridiculed After Claiming They’re Making “Life More Affordable For Canadians”

When a political party reaches a certain level of failure, they are reduced to simply pretending to live in an alternate reality.
And as the failure of Liberal economic policy becomes increasingly apparent to Canadians, the Liberals are indeed retreating into a fantasy land.
Tim Hortons faces scrutiny over app’s tracking of customers

The tracking capabilities of the Tim Hortons app – which more than one in 10 Canadians use at least once a month – are the subject of legal probes, launched in 2020, that have raised questions about whether the company gathers too much information about its customers through their smartphones.
Canada’s Top Judge Spoke Bias Against Trucker Convoy, Lawyers Say

Thirteen lawyers have sent a complaint letter to the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC) about comments made by Supreme Court of Canada Chief Justice Richard Wagner regarding the trucker convoy that staged large-scale protests against COVID-19 mandates in downtown Ottawa earlier this year.
The seven-page letter quotes a full page of excerpts from an April 9 Le Devoir article in which Wager said the convoy was “the beginning of anarchy where some people have decide to take other citizens hostage, to take the law into their own hands, not to respect the mechanism. … That, I find that worrying.”
Wagner characterized the convoy protests as a “circumstance that could undermine our principles such as judicial independence, the rule of law, institutions.” He said the protests included people of “good faith” but also others who were “remotely guided” with “misunderstanding” and “a certain ignorance” of the rule of law, and who were seeking to bypass the political “system.”
Nova Scotia man known online as ‘Raging Dissident’ faces 13 firearms-related charges

PORT HAWKESBURY, N.S. – A 36-year-old Nova Scotia man charged following an anti-mask protest outside the home of the province’s chief medical officer is facing 13 firearms-related charges in an unrelated incident.
During a brief court hearing in Port Hawkesbury, N.S., it was decided Jeremy Mitchell MacKenzie will be arraigned on 12 firearms charges in Pictou, N.S., on June 6, and on the remaining charge on June 27 in Port Hawkesbury.
RCMP officers in January searched MacKenzie’s Pictou home and allegedly found five restricted firearms, prohibited magazines, body armour and ammunition.

Obviously, Jean Charest Is Being Set-Up For Conservative Party Leadership

On February 2nd, 2022, Erin O’Toole was removed as Conservative Party leader by a vote of 73-45. On September 10th, 2022, the party will appointed his successor. Over seven months will have lapsed between the dates.
CAP has always wondered why such a long period of time was selected before choosing a new party leader. After witnessing media treatment of potential candidates, we have drawn a conclusion.
The purpose is to ruin the chances of Pierre Poilievre winning the nomination. Far ahead in the polls, Mr. Poilievre is the “people’s choice.” That’s fine, but the candidate has a huge problem on his hands. By undermining the Liberal status quo, Poilievre has made enemies of those who control Canadian politics.
Gosh that last bit sounds familiar.
‘Everything’s up’: What’s causing inflation? Quebecers weigh in

These are difficult times for most Canadian families.
The exorbitant price of gasoline is having an impact on the price of the grocery basket, which was already on the rise.
In addition, there is the explosion in the cost of rent and energy, which is contributing to the impoverishment of the middle class and those who are already below the poverty line.
