This is not a piece about culture war theatre. It’s only about who gets hired to do publicly funded research in this country, and if your instinct is to write that off as coded hostility to diversity, you’re not engaging with the argument, you’re dodging it and you might as well move on because this is going to be a series.
Less than six weeks from now, Canada will have 24 hours to try to sway a captive audience of the world’s financial power brokers that the country is ripe for more investment.
The inaugural Canada Investment Summit, scheduled for Sept. 14 and 15 in Toronto, will be a rare moment for Canada. Led by Prime Minister Mark Carney and two of the country’s largest pension funds, it is expected to draw the kind of crowd that normally only gathers en masse in Davos, Switzerland or Los Angeles.
Hamilton anti-racism groups give tips on how to avoid unwittingly renting venues to groups deemed extremist
An organization calling for the deportation of immigrants says it’s hosting a conference in the Hamilton area on Aug. 29, prompting local anti-racism groups to take action.
In an open letter, several organizations, including the Hamilton Anti-Racism Resource Centre (HARRC) and Hamilton Centre for Civic Inclusion (HCCI), are urging businesses and institutions not to rent space to Dominion Society of Canada and other such groups.
The letter also shares tips to help venues avoid unwittingly letting extremist groups book their events.
The CBC propaganda machine is now attempting to paint the Dominion Society as a hateful group, equating them with "white supremacists" The Second Sons. Their agenda is clear: accept mass immigration or they will tarnish you and your members publicly.
They are on a anti-white… pic.twitter.com/pMfEYKhqGc

The CBC is a far left extremist group and their message is clear you are to be demonized for your beliefs. Frank discussion of immigration reform marks you as a forever guilty racist oppressor and any attempt to stand up and protect your own best interests is a hate crime.
When the Liberal party selected Mark Carney as its new leader (and our new prime minister), I thought it could get interesting. Carney was a well-respected, international bureaucrat. He was obviously comfortable in the rarified air of global hobnobbing.
But Carney was a political neophyte and politics is a retail business. Could a guy at ease attending cocktail parties be equally comfortable with farmers, welders and the people toiling at workstations far below the executive suite?
OTTAWA — On July 14, 2014, a Facebook account belonging to Biwei Zhang, the woman now accused of spying inside NATO’s military command and of membership in a criminal organization, published a photograph of Justin Trudeau speaking from a stage at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, in a ballroom holding several hundred guests seated at banquet tables, phones raised toward the podium.
One thing is certain. Trudeau never had Canada’s best interests at heart. Neither does Carney.
That didn’t take long.
Back in May, as part of a promise in the last federal budget to lower the cost of providing health care for unproven refugee claimants and asylum seekers, the federal government announced that newcomers awaiting hearings on their permanent residency would be required to pay 30% of their health care costs and four dollars on all prescriptions.
OTTAWA — The day after extensive trade talks between Canada and U.S. officials in Washington, D.C., details are emerging of where the give and take may be in ongoing negotiations.
Multiple industry sources tell CTV News they are cautiously optimistic that progress is being made toward a comprehensive bilateral agreement outside of the U.S. and Canada’s formal trilateral deal with Mexico.
But, they’re also warning against expectations that a deal will be made by a looming Aug. 19 deadline.
Global Affairs Canada was asked to identify the conditions governing one of Canada’s most consequential foreign-policy decisions in decades. Did Ottawa establish benchmarks before recognizing Palestine? Which had been met? Was there a monitoring process, and what consequences would follow if the remaining commitments failed?
It could not name one, I know because I emailed them to ask.
And we thought Chrystia Freeland and her strut were finally gone. Ensconced at Oxford, this former Rhodes Scholar is now CEO of an Oxford trust fund. This follows her leading role in former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s “Lost Decade.”
Her self-assuredness and years in the limelight have apparently entitled her, at a delicate time in the free trade negotiations, to attack Donald Trump as “a bully.” No argument there, but why?
Has her sensitivity to the dismal record increased? Is she protecting her close friend Carney? Is she missing the attention?
VANCOUVER – Kennedy Stewart, the former mayor of Vancouver, says a sitting member of British Columbia’s cabinet is the subject of an active investigation over alleged links to the Chinese government, and that Canada’s federal and provincial leadership, including Premier David Eby, know that foreign interference has reached into the country’s institutions and are not acting on it — a failure Stewart says extends to what he describes as a sustained attack on his own 2022 mayoralty campaign, mounted from inside a foreign consulate and from a radio transmitter placed beyond the reach of Canadian regulators
Last January, the federal government introduced the Canadian Groceries and Essentials Benefit. It replaced the GST/HST benefit for an estimated 12 million lower-income Canadians. The Carney government also raised the payments by 25 per cent.
Of course, it hasn’t lowered the cost of groceries. At most, it has given low-income consumers more money to buy groceries. That’s not the same thing and Canadians know it.
OTTAWA — The Carney government has quietly walked back some of its cuts to a program providing temporary health-care coverage to refugees and asylum-seekers, months after slashing benefits for some of Canada’s most vulnerable newcomers.
Earlier this year, following a budget pledge to lower funding, Ottawa introduced changes to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP), which provides health care to resettled refugees and asylum claimants who are waiting to qualify for provincial or territorial insurance.
Beginning in May, most people eligible for the program were required to pay 30 per cent of costs for health services, assistive devices and medical supplies that had previously been covered, along with $4 for prescription medication and refills.
“There will come a day, far off but inevitable at some point, when traditional energy sources will no longer be needed,” said former prime minister Justin Trudeau in 2017.
Politicians across the Western Hemisphere, including Canada’s leadership for at least the past decade, have bought into the notion that a massive transition away from fossil fuels is underway and that the end of their use is somehow preordained.
Mark Carney’s dramatic escalation of military spending will change Canada — far more than has been acknowledged.
Without any clear assessment of our military needs, the prime minister has embarked on a massive military spending spree, which has suddenly immersed us in plans to spend $100 billion on submarines, and billions more on fighter jets.
All this has redrawn the boundaries of our national ambitions, redirecting vast resources into military firepower, forcing us to shrink our dreams of other things we could achieve together as a nation.
I guess we’ll be OK if we sing “Imagine” as the ChiCom tanks roll down Yonge St.
