Some businesses dont want to enforce the rule, some people aren’t satisfied and want more oversight and some people think this has gone way too far.

Trudeau Choses China Over USA, U.K. Australia With Foreign Policy Decision

For 70 years, the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, composed of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Britain and the United States, has worked to combat international threats and espionage. It has been a most exclusive club.

Now, there’s an even more exclusive club: the Three Eyes. Canada is not part of it.

According to the National Post, “the Trudeau Liberals have allowed Canada’s foreign policy to sit on the back burner as they pontificate about trendier social justice topics.”

Terry Glavin: Only Chinese strongman Xi Jinping knows why the Michaels were released

We should all be very happy that the 1,019-day prison ordeal endured by Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor in China has finally ended. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is quite right that we should be happy for them, and for their families, if only because everything else about this whole squalid business has given Canadians every reason to feel disgusted, embarrassed, ashamed and angry.

Canada needs an Arctic defence strategy as Russia, China eye the north

The crew of a U.S. Coast Guard cutter was surprised this summer to find the Chinese and Russian navies conducting a joint exercise in open water in the Arctic Ocean.

Details about what was apparently a serendipitous discovery of the Chinese and Russian vessels by the U.S. Coast Guard were sparse.

Until this chance encounter near the top of the world, Western countries with an interest in the Far North, such as Canada, Denmark (Greenland), Norway, the United Kingdom, France and the United States, were unaware of what was going on, a former commandant of the coast guard told a recent virtual conference hosted by the Defense News.

Immigration Policy Brings Erosion Of Free Speech, Internet Censorship To Canada

Immigration is Canada’s most under-analyzed social policy. It’s justification being reduced by government and media to the most simplistic of rationalizations:

Immigration policy exists in response to an aging population. Add to this an aging workforce. Stop the press. An exaggeration this may be, but not one without a point. This specious approach has for decades served to cover-up a plethora of related implications.

Anti-vaxxers don’t have a right to accommodations, Ontario human rights watchdog says

The decision to get vaccinated is voluntary, and a “person who chooses not to be vaccinated based on personal preference does not have the right to accommodation under the (Human Rights Code),” the Ontario Human Rights Commission said this week in a policy paper discussing the limits of vaccine mandates and proof-of-vaccination requirements.

Worrisome that Hicks continue to vote Conservative say Star experts

Election results unveil worrisome divide between urban and rural Canadians: experts

OTTAWA – The results of the federal election have shown a deepened divide between Canadians living in urban areas who mostly chose Liberal candidates and those living in rural areas who voted for the Conservative party, experts say.

Allan Thompson, the head of Carleton University’s journalism program, said the results of Monday’s election have revealed increasing polarization between rural and urban Canadians.

The division was very clear in Ontario where the Liberals picked up almost all the seats in the urban ridings and the Conservatives flipped some rural ridings and increased their lead in ridings they’d held before.

Hostage Diplomacy Works: China welcomes Meng Wanzhou’s return, but silent on ‘Two Michaels’ released

Chinese state media welcomed telecoms giant Huawei’s chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, back to the “motherland” on Saturday, after more than 1,000 days under house arrest in Canada, on what they called unfounded charges of bank fraud.

But they have kept silent about Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, the two Canadians released from Chinese custody in an apparent act of reciprocation by Beijing.

It’s a victory for China and Canada’s China class, just like the election was won by the LPC thanks to the CCP’s backing of Trudeau. China does not care about western public opinion.

Canada needs to start looking for new subs now, says report

Given the build-up in submarine fleets by countries like China and Russia, ‘Canada’s ability to exert influence in its vast maritime domain will be tested’

Canada should move quickly to ensure its aging submarine fleet is replaced on time, considering the build-up in submarine capability by countries like Russia and China and the “relative decline” of the United States, according to a new paper from the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
