A little more than a year ago, Canada’s spy agency went into overdrive in an effort to warn universities and researchers that they could be the targets of international espionage.
Starting in April, 2020, CSIS met with more than 230 Canadian research and industry groups and briefed more than 2,000 individuals, according to the organization’s tally.
Too late, our universities are full up with communists already.
Some suspect the science. Some don’t think they’re vulnerable. And some just don’t trust government messaging.
Many things have changed in pandemic times. One that has not is North America’s love affair with the pickup truck. Even in the midst of economic uncertainty, consumers lined up to buy these hulking, belching kings of the road. Once the vehicle of the cowboy, the contractor and the good old boy, pickups have become the continent’s mainstream ride. Even city parking lots are simply full of them. In Canada, Ford’s F-150 has been the best-selling auto for years.
We’re truly in the silly season of political coverage. It’s the depths of summer, the expected election campaign has yet to start, and journalists are looking for things to do.
Canada’s former Ambassador to China David Mulroney is sounding the alarm:
“China is emboldened because it believes the West– including Canada— is collapsing on itself,” says Mr. Mulroney.

Canada’s spy service closely monitored the burgeoning nationalist movement in the 1960s and ’70s, poring over pamphlets, collecting reports from confidential sources and warily watching for signs of Communist infiltration, once-secret records reveal.
The RCMP‘s security branch, responsible for sniffing out subversives at the time, quietly tracked the rise of the Committee for an Independent Canada, seeing it as ripe for “exploitation or manipulation” by radicals.
Bet that the PPC and any non-mainstream party is being spied on by our current ruling class.
Canada hit a dubious mark this week; more than 50 churches have now been vandalized, desecrated or burned to the ground since the announcement in Kamloops, B.C. of unmarked graves found near a residential school.
A good reason not to support any of our “mainstream” political parties. Our ruling class hates us.
In an interview with Justin Trudeau in September, 2018, our prime minister issued the following statement: “I trust our justice system to apply consequences to this.”
Mr. Trudeau was responding to a question from a Maclean’s magazine journalist regarding the murder of 13-year old Marissa Shen of Burnaby, British Columbia.
Just under four years have passed since this ghastly murder. Fascinating it is that no one knows whether or not consequences were applied to accused child-killer Ibrahim Ali.
Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are strengthening their commitment to tech entrepreneurialism as they scale back Canada’s COVID-19 benefits. This is not a road map to recovery; it is a path to austerity and precarity in the workplace.
After more than a year of quarantines, lockdowns and separations due to COVID-19, Canada is slowly reopening. But experts say another pandemic, of femicide and domestic violence, has been quietly raging across the country.
It appears a sea change is underway across the country, as many Canadians are questioning how and why we choose to commemorate historical figures with controversial legacies.
Some of us are trying to wave the maple leaf flag sensibly, but it is a lonely and rather thankless vocation
To borrow a clangorous platitude from popular psychology, Canada has to address its problem of low self-esteem. There are several prominent indications of this problem. The second-largest province, Quebec, with about 24 per cent of the total population, about a fifth of them English- rather than French-speaking, is proposing unilaterally to amend the Canadian Constitution (which it has not officially ratified), in order to restrain the use English within its borders. All the political parties, in Quebec and federally, apparently welcome this development.
Like many of you I am not counting on a Canadian resurgence.
Our political and corporate class have deliberately balkanized the populace for their own greed driven ends.
They lie about the so called benefits of mass immigration when in fact all it offers is a smaller piece of a shrinking pie.
We are approaching 3rd world status. Politically we’re nearly there, a fading nation governed by parties and a bureaucracy that cares nothing for you and I and even less for the law.
Our heritage is subverted and maligned deliberately to make replacement all the easier.
They want you poor and afraid with no hope for the future make no mistake.
I lived in two developing African countries for 16 years: Kenya and Tanzania. Despite their countries having been wracked by tribalism, corrupting Marxist ideologies, and violence, when you get to know East Africans one on one and in small groups, you will find them looking for the joy of life, deeply appreciative of what they have, funny, down to earth, tolerant of strangers, yet loyal to family and clan and desirous of development.

A B.C. Court of Appeal ruling that declares nothing is racist about taxing foreign buyers of real estate in Canada clears the way for federal politicians to propose bold policies to deal with the crisis of housing unaffordability.
