Corruption scandal weakens Ukraine

Given that Canada has committed $22 billion in aid to Ukraine, the growing corruption scandal now reaching into President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office raises legitimate questions for taxpayers.

Why do we need to fund foreign aid? Because the swells like to virtue signal and feel important.

Vancouver police seize fentanyl and grenade launcher in opioid-overdose crisis zone

BRITISH COLUMBIA — Vancouver police say they have seized a grenade launcher, four guns, and nearly 500 grams of fentanyl and other hard drugs from a fortified Downtown Eastside rooming house that was allegedly feeding a synthetic opioid supply line through the city’s most drug-ravaged blocks.

“Task Force Barrage has come to an end, but our work to curb violence and disrupt organized crime in the Downtown Eastside continues,” Sergeant Steve Addison said, adding “the proliferation of violence and weapons in some residential buildings continues to put the neighbourhood at risk.”

That neighborhood is permanently at risk. I used to live there a lifetime ago.

Why Doug Ford wants Mark Carney to show the west ‘some love’

This is a love story.

In May, Ontario Premier Doug Ford implored his ally, Prime Minister Mark Carney, to show the west “some love.”

Ford reasoned that, after a decade of prime minister Justin Trudeau’s fractious relations with some western provinces over environmental and energy policies, it was time for a change in tone from Ottawa.

Wake me when the pipelines are built.

Danielle Smith’s oil deal with Mark Carney was supposed to quiet Alberta’s separatists. Too bad they didn’t get the message

The long-awaited agreement inked between the federal government and Alberta this week was expected to clear the path for a new oil pipeline, renew focus on carbon capture and, it was hoped, cool the jets of the province’s increasingly vocal separatists, eager to chart the prairie province’s path out of confederation.

Too bad the separatists themselves didn’t get the message.

“This is the complete opposite. This just got everyone angrier,” says Mitch Sylvestre, head of the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP), one of a handful of groups pursuing independence and the backers of a pro-separation referendum question that is currently before the courts.

Canada Is a Magnet for Hamas Members and Ottawa Refuses to Act

Last week, a Global News investigation uncovered that roughly 450 individuals with various roles inside Hamas have ties to Canada. These include Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and others with relatives or associates here. CSIS did not confirm if these individuals are currently under scrutiny. Global reported the agency “was investigating Canadians in Middle East terror groups, but declined to elaborate.”

Failing to Expel Chinese Spies Tells China, US That Canada Is ‘Open Territory’ for Chinese Infiltration: Scholar

When Canada does not expel Chinese spies operating within the country, it signals to China and the United States that Canada is “open territory” for Chinese infiltration, says Charles Burton, a China scholar and senior fellow of the Sinopsis think tank.

“We’re not expelling people that I believe CSIS knows are espionage agents,” Burton told MPs as he testified before the House of Commons procedure and house affairs committee on Nov. 27.

Quebec to ban public prayer in sweeping new secularism law

Quebec says it will intensify its crackdown on public displays of religion in a sweeping new law that critics say pushes Canadian provinces into private spaces and disproportionately affects Muslims.

Bill 9, introduced by the governing Coalition Avenir Québec on Thursday, bans prayer in public institutions, including in colleges and universities. It also bans communal prayer on public roads and in parks, with the threat of fines of C$1,125 for groups in contravention of the prohibition. Short public events with prior approval are exempt.

If nothing else, Danielle Smith is a disruptor

Every so often a Canadian politician comes along and decides he or she is ready to challenge the orthodoxy. In the 1950s and 1960s, it was Saskatchewan Premier Tommy Douglas, who insisted that universal, publicly funded medical care was possible in Canada, despite strong opposition from health care providers, which culminated in a doctors’ strike.

In the 1980s and 1990s, it was NDP MP Svend Robinson, who introduced a private member’s bill to legalize same-sex marriage years before it would actually become law (he was also the first openly gay MP). And roughly 10 years ago, it was then-Conservative leadership hopeful Maxime Bernier, who centred his candidacy on a pledge to scrap Canada’s supply management system for milk, eggs and poultry. Mr. Bernier lost the leadership because of it.

National Council of Canadian Muslims considering legal action against secularism laws

Muslims desecrate public spaces with death cult rituals as an act of aggression

The National Council of Canadian Muslims says it is considering legal action after the Quebec government tabled a new secularism bill Thursday.

Quebec’s minister for secularism, Jean-François Roberge, presented the Bill 9, which builds on Quebec’s existing legislation, Bill 21, by proposing a ban on face coverings and religious symbols in schools, as well as public prayer.

“Let’s not kid ourselves: this bill targets Muslims,” said National Council of Canadian Muslims CEO Stephen Brown – Yup Yup Yup.

ChiCom 5th Columnists struggling to obtain security clearances for government jobs, Senator Mole says

Chinese immigrants struggling to obtain security clearances for government jobs, senator says

A senator told a parliamentary committee that he’s hearing of immigrants from China, with marginal connections to the ruling Chinese Communist Party or other government bodies, who are finding it difficult to obtain security clearances for Canadian public-sector jobs.

Senator Yuen Pau Woo raised the matter during a meeting of the Senate committee on foreign affairs and international trade Thursday, where he asked officials from the Department of Global Affairs to address it.

I bet it’s easier for a ChiCom to land a Government job than a White Canadian.

Ontario man participated in two ‘sham’ marriages in India ‘to dupe Canadian immigration authorities’

An Ontario man who admitted to participating in two ‘sham’ marriages to help Indian women immigrate to Canada in return for services and cash has failed in his efforts to prove he’s married to the mother of his three children.

Amratpal Singh Sidhu asked Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice for a declaration that he’s legally married to Amandeep Kaur. She was looking for a judge to say the opposite.

Donald Trump’s fingerprints are all over Mark Carney’s Alberta deal

Basking in the glow of new-found friendship between Ottawa and Alberta, Premier Danielle Smith declared that this day would never have arrived if Justin Trudeau was still prime minister.

“I can tell you 100 per cent that the former prime minister would never have moved this far on these issues,” Smith said, after she and Mark Carney unveiled a whole new energy-and-environment deal between Canada and Alberta.
