Racism report to take CAF to task for not doing more over past 20 years

OTTAWA – Defence Minister Anita Anand will release a highly anticipated report this morning that is expected to take the military to task for not doing enough to address racism in the ranks over the past two decades.
The report is the result of a yearlong review by a panel of retired Canadian Armed Forces members tasked with identifying ways to address hate, racism and discrimination in the ranks.

The review was launched in December 2020 amid concerns about systemic racism in the military, as well as reported links between some members with hate groups, right-wing extremism and white supremacy.

Liberals Preparing Canadians For China-Derived Digital ID, Social Credit

When Canadian authorities are out to push citizens into compliance, they utilize a well-worn concept: they inform citizens that “our country is falling behind.” When it comes to Digital ID adoption, this is simply not the case.

The Liberal government are making significant strides forward in Digital ID implementation. Apart from China— founding nation of social credit-based digital identification, few nations of the world are further along the path than Canada.

To the Antisemites Who Sit Next to Me at School

My NYU classmates talk about the ‘Zionist grip on the media’ and tweet ‘death to Israel.’

To my law school classmate who tweeted, “my love language is marg bar [death to] Israel”: thank you.

To the Students for Justice in Palestine, who explained: “Zionism is, by design, an ideology that promotes violence against, and hatred and delegitimization of Palestinians. Embedded in the Zionist supremacy narrative is the orientalist, Islamophobic idea that Azkenazi [sic] Jewish whiteness is fundamentally superior to Palestinian lives, culture, and identity”: thank you.

I have been blogging since 2006.

Made our bones here bringing Islam to the light of day.

It has not gotten better only worse.

Whether in the USA or Canada, on the university campus or in the public square the atmosphere is poisoned.

Forcing mass immigration on Canada from nations that  despise our values & heritage was a criminal act of vandalism by our elites.

Canada will not recover from the toxins of diversity and multiculturalism. We will be a ‘New France.’

Ottawa cites cabinet confidentiality over decision to invoke Emergencies Act, court filing shows

The federal government says it will not reveal what information led it to use the Emergencies Act to end truckers’ protests this winter, citing cabinet confidentiality in its response to legal challenges.

Four groups accuse the government of acting unlawfully by invoking a state of emergency when, they say, existing legislation such as the Criminal Code and traffic laws were sufficient to address it. Alberta is seeking to join the case as an intervenor, opposing the use of the emergency law.

The review is meant to find savings of $6 billion over five years and $3 billion annually by 2026.

Ex-Guantanamo detainee sues Canada over 14-year ordeal of detention and torture

A former Guantanamo detainee, whose story of detention and torture was featured in a best-selling memoir and Hollywood film, is going to court to try to force the Canadian government to reveal its role in his ordeal.

Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a Mauritanian who lived briefly in Montreal, has launched a $30-million lawsuit against the federal government. He alleges Canadian officials made false claims about him that were then relied upon by his Mauritanian, Jordanian and American interrogators during his more than 14 years of imprisonment without charge.

John Ivison: Why Canada has been slow to bring out the big guns for Ukraine

On any given day, I’m open to the idea that I’m wrong on any given subject. But not on Canada’s over-cautious response to Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine.

Being sanctioned by Vladimir Putin’s bandit regime confirmed my conviction that far too often, sober second thought in official Ottawa has been used as an excuse for delay and inaction.

Almost half of Canadians may have caught COVID

Canada’s COVID-19 immunity landscape has completely transformed since the emergence of Omicron — with new estimates suggesting that almost half of the population has been infected.

Researchers in B.C. analyzed thousands of blood samples in the Lower Mainland throughout the pandemic to track antibody levels in the general population, and found a massive shift in the level of infection in the past few months.

The B.C. data, provided in advance to CBC News, found close to 40 per cent of the population had antibodies from a previous infection in March, up from around 10 per cent in October. That number is even higher in children under 10, with nearly two-thirds now showing evidence of prior infection.

Majority of Canadians back inquiries into national, provincial pandemic responses: poll

A majority of Canadians favour a thorough review into how all levels of government handled the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new poll.

The survey from B.C.-based pollster Research Co. found 66 per cent of respondents backed a public inquiry into how the federal government managed the pandemic, with 23 per cent opposed.

Canada sending four pieces, count ’em four pieces of field artillery to Ukraine as it braces for renewed Russian attack

Canada is expected to send four of its relatively new M-777 howitzers to Ukraine to help it face down a renewed Russian offensive from the east, CBC News has learned.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the plan to ship “heavy artillery” earlier this week, but offered no details on what the Canadian military would be donating.

“Their most recent ask was exactly for that, for heavy artillery, for reasons of operational security,” Trudeau said on Wednesday. “I can’t go into the details at this point on how and what we’re getting to them exactly.”

Eye opener – The shipment is expected to include an unspecified amount of ammunition, including precision-guided Excalibur rounds left over from the Afghan war, said a third source. The GPS-guided shells are worth about $112,000 US per round.
