Canada has turned back only 4,400 so called asylum seekers in 5 years – usual suspects still whining
Canada has turned away at least 4,400 asylum seekers at the U.S. border since 2016 — including some who were hoping to find refuge here at the height of the global pandemic — according to newly released government figures.
Nearly half of those trying to enter Canada over that five-year period made the attempt in the year after U.S. President Donald Trump took office, according to figures released in response to a parliamentary request from NDP MP Jenny Kwan.
Under the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA), which has been in effect since 2004, Canada and the U.S. consider each other to be “safe countries” for refugees and require them to make their claims in the country they arrive in first.
Alberta’ premier signals more restrictions coming amid soaring COVID-19 case numbers
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, set to meet Monday with his COVID-19 steering committee amid an alarming rise in cases, has suggested more restrictions are coming but a “holistic” approach to the pandemic will continue.
Stop The Small Business Lockdowns
On Friday morning, we sent out a press release that ruffled a few feathers.
The headline? “We’re one of Canada’s oldest conservative organizations, and Doug Ford and Brian Pallister are way out of line.”
We stand by that message even more so now — especially after the Premier of Ontario dropped the hammer on all small businesses, gyms, and restaurants in the GTA (without evidence of community spread), while continuing to allow the big box stores to flourish.

Canadian Universities Have Extensive Research Partnerships With Chinese State To Develop A “Surveillance” Society Against “Far Right Canadians”
Can you believe this? Quietly behind our backs our universities have been reaching extremely lucrative agreements with the Communist Party of China to cooperate in the development of “surveillance and population control technologies and the use of facial recognition, and digital monitoring” against those who question mass immigration and the rise of China to global supremacy. Chinese financial power will be combined with Western scientific research to develop technologies that will allow the Canadian government to surveil “every health record, every banking record, every social media post” of Canadians to ensure the peaceful replacement of whites.

Rex Murphy: Conjuring up an even greater reset
Some world leaders, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apparently among them, think that the COVID-19 crisis offers an “opportunity” to “re-imagine” or “reshape” national economies, and tie them to broad international schemes. High in the list of such schemes is, in their words, “ending the carbon economy.” In other words, killing off oil and gas.
In a weak moment, I have allowed myself to imagine how Trudeau could earn, if not the right, then at least the acceptance of the Canadian public, for his grand international visions. The speech that follows is entirely imaginary, which at least places it in the same realm as some of the schemes we have been hearing about.
