Rex Murphy: Dany Fortin’s reputation torched by troubling witch hunt

The National Post’s recent story on the sudden firing of Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin after 32 years of service in the Canadian military has elements that are very troubling. Not least of which is a sexual misconduct allegation made by one person about an event that allegedly occurred 30-plus years ago and has not been proven in court, but was nonetheless made public and acted on by government and military authorities, thus destroying the man’s reputation.

C’mon Rex, Fortin is a practicing heterosexual, that makes him unfit for the new Rainbow Forces!

Liberal majority government in ‘doubt’ as lead over Conservatives shrinks, poll finds

With federal parties gearing up for a possible federal election in the coming months, new polling suggests that waning support for the Liberals is going to make winning a majority government difficult to pull off.

The Conservatives are now closing the gap, according to new polling from Ipsos, with the Liberals down two points at 36 per cent and the Tories gaining four points in the last month to get to an even 30 per cent nationally.

Umar Zameer, accused of killing T.O. cop makes court appearance, lawyer says murder being taken out of context

The lawyer for the man accused of killing a Toronto cop earlier this month made a brief court appearance today — far earlier than scheduled.

Umar Zameer, 31, was supposed to make a bail appearance at Old City Hall at 2 p.m., but media were told shortly after 1 p.m. that the matter had already been dealt with, leaving reporters without an opportunity to observe the proceedings, or even get their first look at the accused.

… Hasan’s statement Friday went on to say: “It is extremely important to recognize that so far, you have been told only of an allegation — devoid of context and detail — about what happened.

“The evidence at the trial will show what actually happened in that City Hall parking lot.

No doubt Islamophobia is at work!

How Artificial Intelligence Could Help Canada Meet Its Bold Immigration Targets

After immigration levels plummeted during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada plans to welcome 400,000 newcomers by the end of 2021 and 411,000 in 2022.

These figures arrived in tandem with a spring announcement regarding new funding for the artificial intelligence-based “GeoMatch” tool, which is designed to optimize immigrant settlement patterns for improved financial outcomes. At the same time, the pace of data analytics testing in the sorting and management of temporary resident visa applications is accelerating.

Both of these developments suggest AI-rooted automation could play a role in supporting immigration targets and ensuring the success of new immigrants in Canada’s post-pandemic economy.

Post-pandemic economy? Someone isn’t paying attention.

Jack M. Mintz: Get ready for naughty little taxes

Our deficit-plagued federal and provincial governments are readying themselves with a host of potential tax hikes for an unsuspecting electorate. Most experts focus on the big taxes — income, payroll, property and sales — that may need higher rates to feed politicians’ insatiable appetite for public spending. But the taxes that show up more often are the naughty little ones that slip by without much reaction.

Canada’s vaccine passport won’t come until December, at the earliest

Leaked presentations reveal that Canada won’t have a national Covid-19 vaccine passport system until December 2021, at the earliest. A total lack of national infrastructure, however, means that could be delayed even further.

The internal PowerPoint presentation, prepared by the Treasury Board of Canada, reveals that even more than a year after the global pandemic hit, Canada still lags other countries in developing a system to issue and recognize proof of immunity to Covid-19.

Episode 3: Targeting Sport Shooters

When Justin Trudeau banned 1,500 popular firearm variants with the stroke of a pen last year, then introduced a bill that would severely curb legal handgun usage, he said in no uncertain terms that sport shooters would not be affected. That simply is not true.

State actors could use blackmail, threats to influence voters, politicians in the next election, CSIS warn

Canada’s spy agency says state actors may attempt to blackmail voters and pressure politicians in order to influence the outcome of the next election.

The warning is contained in a special report on foreign interference threats, which charts some of the tactics the Canadian Security Intelligence Service has observed over the years.

Its publication comes as Ottawa prepares for an election call widely expected in the next few weeks. That election, when it comes, is likely to see attempts at foreign interference online, the Communications Security Establishment has warned.

Hell, the LPC is a subsidiary of the CCP.

Erasing, Misrepresenting Canada’s History Erodes Foundations of Society: Historians

As the trend of removing symbols of Canada’s past and renaming buildings and streets grows, historians warn of the consequences of attempts to misrepresent or erase the country’s history.
