Suck-Up Singh says Han Dong shouldn’t be allowed back into Liberal caucus

After reading an unredacted report from one of Canada’s intelligence oversight bodies, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he now thinks that Independent MP Han Dong shouldn’t be allowed back into the Liberal caucus.

Last week, the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP), a cross-party committee of MPs and senators with top security clearances, released a heavily blacked-out document alleging, based on intelligence, that some parliamentarians have been “semi-witting or witting” participants in the efforts of foreign states to interfere in Canadian politics.

TAYLOR: The truth at last… CSIS reveals story of Chinese spies who got away with it

Justin Trudeau Xiangguo Qiu Keding Cheng – Everybody say Xi

Spy novelist John Le Carré established his reputation with 1963’s The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. Set at the height of the Cold War, it describes washed-up British spy Alec Leamas’ attempt to infiltrate East German intelligence as a double agent. It’s a grim tale of hidden identities, uncertain alliances and spymasters prepared to sacrifice their own men in pursuit of bigger game. According to Le Carré — who worked for Britain’s MI6 in Germany while writing the book — the modern world of espionage is unpleasant, unglamourous and devoid of loyalty. Unhappy endings are inevitable.

Increasing number of Canadians hold negative view on immigration, poll finds

With Canadians continuing to face a housing crisis and high living costs, a new survey has found a growing number of residents view immigration as having a negative affect on the country.

The Research Co. poll, which was released Wednesday, found 44 per cent of respondents believe immigration is having a mostly negative affect on Canada, up six per cent from last year.

“This is not something we saw a year ago or two years ago,” said Mario Canseco, Research Co. president. “It’s been slowly bubbling.”

Trudeau still mum on whether Liberals among ‘witting’ MPs who helped foreign states

SAVELLETRI DI FASANO, Italy — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would not say Saturday whether Liberal MPs are among those accused in a recent spy watchdog report of helping foreign states.

The refusal comes after NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May have both offered new, though somewhat conflicting insight into the findings of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians.

Don Braid: The capital gains tax hike is the Liberals’ vilest tactic yet

One national political activity is truly non-partisan — the singular lust of governments at all levels to screw Canadians on taxation.

The federal Liberals are raising the capital gains tax. City governments have hit citizens with whopping property tax increases (7.8 per cent in Calgary).

The provincial UCP government promised immediate tax relief in an election campaign, and then wiggled out of it when safely elected, using arguments that are now shown to be bogus.

LILLEY: Why are more people unemployed in Toronto than all of Quebec?

There are more unemployed people in Toronto than in all of Quebec.

When that stat was passed my way the other day, I was dismissive and thought it was someone on social media making things up.

Turns out it is 100% accurate and the reasons behind it are disturbing.

Singh won’t break pact with Liberals despite concern PM isn’t protecting democracy

OTTAWA – Federal New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh is not willing to break ranks with the minority Liberal government, even after criticizing the prime minister for failing to protect Canada’s democracy.

Singh says the evidence shows Justin Trudeau is willing to accept some level of foreign interference, which weakens democracy and undermines the confidence of Canadians.

This is getting absurd. Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre owe us better answers, any answers, on the question of traitor MPs

If you ever studied philosophy you’ll be familiar with Plato’s allegory of the cave. The philosopher described people who’ve spent their lives chained in a cave, facing a blank wall. All they know of reality is from shadows projected on the wall created by objects passing in front of a fire behind them.

When it comes to the most alarming type of foreign interference in our politics, Canadians are being put in the same position as those prisoners in Plato’s cave. We’re not allowed to get a direct look at the reality of what’s going on. After all, you know, national security!

Guilbeault ridiculed after true cost of carbon tax revealed

After years of denying the negative impact of the carbon tax on the economy, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault has released data confirming the tax is a net cost for the economy, contradicting previous claims of revenue neutrality and job creation.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the figures show the carbon tax will cut economic production by $20 billion to $30 billion annually, equivalent to $1,200 per family in extra annual costs, as noted by Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre.

Guilbeault attempted to downplay the findings.

Joe Varner: Canada’s selfish disregard of defence is the Achilles heel of NATO’s northern security

In the face of global adversaries like Russia and China bent on hegemony and conquest, Canada’s hands-off approach to defence and security is no longer tenable. While the country itself has seemingly not woken up to this realization, its NATO and Western allies certainly have.

Terry Glavin: Trudeau’s Chinese collaboration has been in broad daylight all along

It’s been quite the melodrama.

For two weeks, the inferred conclusions of “treason” on Parliament Hill derived from an 84-page-report that none of us is allowed to read have only heaped fuel on a garbage fire that began with the leaked revelations of intelligence agency whistleblowers going back to November 2022.

The stinking reek of it all should not be expected to subside any time soon. All the parties in the House now seem content with having the matter kicked over to Justice Marie-Josée Hogue’s Foreign Interference Commission. In the short term, if any legislative good comes of the international spectacle Canada’s political class has been making of itself, it will be in the outcome of Bill C-70, the Countering Foreign Interference Act, which completed third reading in the House of Commons on Thursday.

Trudeau is a witting accomplice.

LILLEY: Docs show Trudeau knew carbon tax would hurt economy

The Trudeau government’s own data even says the carbon tax is going to cost us big time.

Data from Environment and Climate Change Canada that the Trudeau government kept secret for years details the hit to the Canadian economy.

The data was only released Thursday after its existence was revealed by Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux.

Ignoring Chinese spying has made Canada the weak link among Western allies

US v Canada

… This cross-border discrepancy is partly explained by serious flaws in Canada’s legal system. As an intelligence-gathering service, CSIS is best placed to identify crimes of espionage. But it has no actual law enforcement powers. It can share its findings with the RCMP, but this relationship is complicated by the fact CSIS intel is not admissible in court since the agency refuses to disclose its sources and methods.

“If defence lawyers ever get a whiff of the fact the RCMP has relied on CSIS information, they will demand to test that information in court,” warns Phil Gurski, a former strategic analyst at CSIS. For this reason, cases built on CSIS evidence are often not prosecuted. It is possible Qiu and Cheng were allowed to leave the country because the mountain of proof incriminating them was inadmissible in court.

How We Got to 41 Million

For decades, Canada has been a model of inclusive immigration. But over the last few years, the Liberals have admitted too many people, too fast. Why did no one see it coming?

When Canada’s population hit 40 million people last June, the federal government could not contain its excitement. “It’s a strong signal that Canada remains a dynamic and welcoming country, full of potential,” said Anil Arora, Canada’s chief statistician. Canada had grown more quickly than expected—by 1.1 million people over the previous 12 months, mostly due to a huge wave of international students and temporary foreign workers. And yet, despite the fanfare, this population boom wasn’t a good-news story. Because there were not enough homes for all those new people.


The Liberals did see it coming, so did their corporate cronies. Each will benefit from the deliberate harm they have visited upon Canada.

The Liberals intentionally set out to undermine Canadian society by importing votes by the millions.

Our Captains of industry squeal with delight at the pool of wage depressing cheap labour and the profits they’ll reap exploiting the shortages mass immigration creates.

Rest assured virtually none of the foreign students or temporary workers will ever be deported.

Spit in a Liberal’s face.

Michael Higgins: Trudeau’s naivete exposed by Hamas’s double-dealing

The unmitigated, though not unexpected, duplicity of Hamas is exposing just how incredibly naive Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been with his ill-thought-out policy toward Israel and its ongoing war with the terrorist organization.

In fact, the imperious trinity of Trudeau, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Foreign Affairs Minster Mélanie Joly have allowed themselves to be willing dupes of Hamas.

On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken laid out in clear detail how Hamas’s double-dealing was extending the war in Gaza.
