Canada’s Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister says the federal government will soon release a volume of the residential school records it’s been criticized for withholding to a national archives centre.

MALCOLM: What’s the purpose of Canada’s Opposition these days?
What is the purpose of the Official Opposition in a Parliamentary system? You don’t need a degree in political science to know that the job is to “oppose” the government.
That’s it. That’s the job. Oppose the government, hold them in check, and in the case of our federal Conservative opposition party, stop the Liberal government from pushing the country ever-further to the Left.
We do not have an “opposition” in Canadian federal politics, we have 3 varieties of the same moldy cheese.
Ottawa needs a whole new approach to national security threats, experts say
More than 250 national security experts, including former high-ranking government officials, are calling on Ottawa to re-think its approach to security threats to confront new sources of peril — from fast-spreading disease outbreaks to natural disasters driven by climate change.
The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) released a report today — the culmination of more than a year of work — that examines Canada’s security posture in the face of new dangers like the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 42-page assessment draws together research, interviews and public comments from senior security officials. It argues that virus outbreaks and destructive climate change events represent a whole new field of national security threats — one that demands more than an ad-hoc approach from the federal government.
More transvestites is the government’s preferred solution.
We’re in trouble if Omicron demands self-sacrifice of us again
Like scavengers desperate for even a morsel of sustenance, we’re latching onto every crumb of positive-sounding news about the Omicron variant. Israel’s Health Minister has said booster shots may protect against the variant; the South African doctor who first identified Omicron noted that symptoms in infected people appear to be mild; the World Health Organization has echoed that early data does not indicate this variant causes more severe illness.
At A Time Of Surging Inflation, Raising Immigration Levels Is A Mistake
Any conversation about our standard of living must include a rational discussion about how high our immigration levels should be.
Lawyers sign “Free North Declaration” to defend civil liberties
Over the past two years, governments have launched “unprecedented attacks” on civil liberties, a new declaration from Canada’s legal community maintains. The Free North Declaration calls on lawyers to restore freedom and the rule of law or “risk losing it for good.” One of the signatories, D. Jared Brown, is a bencher with the Law Society of Ontario. He joined The Andrew Lawton Show to explain why Canadians must reject the “new normal.”
Is A Lab In Winnipeg, Canada Connected To The Original Outbreak Of Covid?
Out of all the mysteries related to the origins of Covid-19, the Wuhan-Winnipeg Covid connection should be standing on the shoulders of giants.
No matter how incriminating the evidence, the Liberal government of Canada remain untouchable in this regard. No greater cone of silence exists than what can be referred to as the “Wuhan-Winnipeg covid scandal.”
GUNTER: Global Affairs Canada’s $3 million tribute to itself
Global Affairs Canada is going to spend $3 million tax dollars on a tribute to itself. I kid you not.
There is already a striking monument to fallen diplomats on an Ottawa parkway near the Champlain Bridge. Instead, the proposed one would “pay tribute to former and current employees and their families and friends who have supported them in their careers.”
Justin should ask Xi to pay for this.
FUREY: The elites are laughing about inflation
When Conservative leader Erin O’Toole posted about how breakfast items are getting more expensive because of inflation, he was mocked and ridiculed by the elites on social media.
While inflation may not affect the elites, the majority of Canadians are noticing how expensive life is getting.
Joe Biden insists he’s a friend in Canada. The evidence suggests otherwise.
OTTAWA-Canada-US relations are again at a critical turning point as a major Canadian political and trade delegation left Capitol Hill Friday with nothing in hand.
No withdrawal of a proposed cut for electric cars that would deeply hurt Canada’s auto industry.
No move on plans to double US tariffs on Canadian softwood.
No synchronization of border measures against COVID-19 variants.
No change in a new dispute over whether Canada’s potato exports are safe in the eyes of U.S. regulators.
The US under President Joe Biden plans to rebuild better. It’s just planning to do it without help from or favorite for Canada, thank you.
Taxpayers should not have to ‘subsidize’ telecoms that chose Huawei, Conservatives say
The Conservatives are urging the Liberal government not to spend public money to compensate Canada’s large telecom companies for choosing to use Huawei equipment if it goes ahead with a Huawei 5G ban.
“We ask that your government categorically reject requests for compensation from Canada’s large telecommunications companies,” Conservative Public Safety critic Raquel Dancho said in a letter sent Friday to Public Safety Minister Marco Mendocino and Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne.
A ChiCom Bank gave Frankie Champagne a mortgage so I’m sure we can trust him to do the right thing.
If Ottawa Wants Line 5 to Stay Open, Why Is it Dismissing Energy Ventures in the Rest of Canada?
Why is the Line 5 pipeline so important? Why are we invoking treaties and clauses in treaties, and pleading with Michigan to recognize treaties in order to keep this line open and the oil flowing?
Our very woke government’s inclination has been, since its inception a very few years ago, to walk in lockstep with all the proper opinion-makers of Europe, who walk in lockstep with the woke left of Berlin, Glasgow, Berkley, and Cambridge, and who demand we make oil production, and pipelines, completely obsolete within 20 years. Is it 20? It may be less, may be more, but obsolete nonetheless.
Canada won’t resolve electric vehicle dispute with U.S. by citing new NAFTA, former ambassador says
A former U.S. ambassador to Canada says Ottawa probably won’t be able to use the new North American trade agreement to resolve a simmering dispute between the two nations.
Canada has been pushing the Biden administration and U.S. lawmakers to abandon a proposed electric vehicle purchase incentive — potentially worth up to $12,500 per car — that would apply exclusively to vehicles made in the U.S.
The proposal is part of a nearly $2 trillion social security and climate bill working its way through the U.S. government now.
Zero manufacturing of any kind is a wet dream of the climate crazed Trudeau regime. I doubt they’ll put up much of a fight. They don’t want you driving anything.
COVID-19 shows up in Canadian wildlife for first time with three Quebec deer infected
Environment Canada says the virus was detected late last month in three wild white-tailed deer in Quebec.
The department says the deer all appeared healthy and showed no clinical signs of COVID-19.
NDP MPP introduces bill to recognize “systemic racism” in Ontario schools
Ontario New Democratic Party MPP Laura Mae Lindo proposed a bill on Thursday to embed “anti-racist strategies” in the province’s education system.
“Students, parents and education workers should never experience racism in Ontario’s public schools and post-secondary institutions,” said Lindo. “Yet every month we learn about new incidents of racism that leave students, families and their communities reeling.”
