Anand ‘very surprised’ to learn DND employee’s company got ArriveCan contract, Poilievre calls for police probe

News that the CEO of Dalian Enterprises, which received $7.9 million for its work on the ArriveCan app, was also an employee of the Department of National Defence (DND) was a “surprise” to former defence minister Anita Anand.

“I was definitely not aware. I was very surprised to hear this news,” the Treasury Board President said to reporters on Parliament Hill on Thursday.

CTV News broke the story on Wednesday after the department confirmed that the employee in question, David Yeo, had been suspended. DND also said it was suspending Dalian contracts and launching an internal investigation.

How much did Anand pocket? Junior?

Douglas Todd: Population growth squeezing Canada’s young adults like never before

Wondering why rents in Canada are breaking records?

The Bank of Montreal’s chief economist, Douglas Porter, says there is “zero mystery.”

The population of people 20-to-29-years-old in Canada has suddenly shot up 6.2 per cent in a year. That’s nearly double Canada’s recent overall population jump, which is also breaking records.

Poilievre claims Trudeau is covering up lapses at high-security lab, PM accuses rival of spewing conspiracies

Facing questions about how scientists who were intentionally sharing information with China were cleared to work at a Winnipeg lab studying deadly diseases, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau deflected criticism to his chief political rival and accused the Conservative leader of weaponizing national security.

During a Thursday news conference in Thunder Bay, Ont., Trudeau was asked how scientists working on high-security viruses at the Winnipeg-based National Microbiology Lab were able to collaborate with the People’s Republic of China.

After a years-long fight for access, the federal government dumped hundreds of pages of documents about the dismissal of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng. The two were marched out of the facility in July 2019 and were stripped of their security clearances. Their dismissals were announced in January 2021.

Jamie Sarkonak: Trudeau’s digital bureaucracy is coming for your social media posts

Bureaucracies usually have a purpose. The public health system cares for the physical bodies of citizens; the justice system (ideally) keeps the dangerous from the normal; the immigration system controls entry and exit.

Soon, you may have to add to the list a “digital safety” bureaucracy, designed to regulate feelings and ideas, and the places where these things are expressed. This is what the forthcoming online harms act, tabled Monday in the Liberals’ Bill C-63, will do. Individuals who value their ability to discuss controversy online should be wary — as should any major social media company that happens to operate in Canada.

Is the ‘market value of becoming Canadian’ dropping? Fewer immigrants are becoming citizens

Canada is taking in more immigrants than it ever has. But new data suggests that fewer and fewer of them are becoming citizens.

The proportion of eligible permanent residents acquiring citizenship has dropped significantly, especially during the last census period. A study released by Statistics Canada on Wednesday shows the proportion of permanent residents who acquired Canadian citizenship after they met the residency requirement has decreased from 75 per cent in 1996 to just 46 per cent in 2021.

While the rate of newcomers acquiring citizenship has declined consistently during the past six censuses, the drop was steep in the latest national survey, particularly among recent immigrants with lower levels of education, lower family income and lower language skills.

Another Trudeau legacy – Migrants with ZERO loyalty or concern for Canada.

“Immigrants get candid about why they want to leave Canada”

When Raghunath Poshala immigrated to Canada from India in 2018, he was promised a better life for himself and his family.

“Everybody said it’s a first world country — education and healthcare are free. So, I thought it’d be a better place for us to raise a family,” the 39-year-old explained over the phone.

DND suspends contracts with ArriveCan contractor after learning CEO is a DND employee

Just a day after the federal government announced a review of its program to support Indigenous contractors, CTV News has learned the CEO of a company that prompted the review is an employee of the Department of National Defence (DND).

David Yeo is the CEO of Dalian Enterprises, which received $7.9 million for its work on the ArriveCan app.

No one is surprised at Liberal party corruption, it’s expected in a banana republic.

Fired Winnipeg lab scientists did not disclose ‘extensive relationship’ with China

Justin Trudeau Xiangguo Qiu Keding Cheng – Everybody say Xi

Two scientists fired from Canada’s National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg in 2019 had an “extensive relationship” with China that they did not properly disclose to Canadian health officials, according to documents that were finally released over four years later.

Health Minister Mark Holland announced the tabling of the documents in Parliament on Wednesday, after a special ad-hoc committee formed to review the documents recommended they be released unredacted.

Trudeau in trouble as Canada’s ‘student trafficking’ industry backfires

Canada’s radical immigration experiment, which has given it one of the world’s fastest rates of population growth, has run into big trouble in the ring of suburbs and small cities around Toronto.

A post-pandemic surge of international students is causing prices for rental housing to soar and placing a spotlight on the uncontrolled growth of colleges that, according to the government’s own immigration minister, are taking advantage of vulnerable young people with inferior academic programs. Much of the blame is falling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who oversaw a tripling in the number of foreign students to more than 1 million. Today, about 1 in 40 people in the country is on a foreign-study visa.

Support for Conservatives, Pierre Poilievre is growing, Leger poll suggests … as young people devastated by generational economic harm caused by Trudeau Liberals shift right

OTTAWA — A new poll suggests support for Pierre Poilievre is growing, and most Canadians are optimistic about their household finances.

Support for the Tories was up one point to 41 per cent in the latest Leger tracking poll, which asks respondents for their voting intentions each month.

Fed up with economic issues, many young voters are moving to the right

… At a visceral level, such people simply can’t grasp the sense of futility that so many young Canadians feel at being unable to afford a home. Or perhaps a young couple was able to put down a down payment, but now confront skyrocketing mortgage payments, even as inflation eats away at their wages.

Tarion facing ‘largest claim event’ in its history as builders walk away from projects — and home buyers lose deposits

Ontario’s real estate consumer watchdog says it is facing the “largest claim event” in its history, with the organization expecting to owe more than $90 million to home buyers this year as builders walk away from home and condo projects.

In its 2024 business plan, Tarion said the claims are expected for deposits from homebuyers who purchased homes or condos from builders that either cancelled projects or were operating illegally, and didn’t comply with warranty legislation.

Peter Menzies: New Online Harms Act Gives Appointed Commissioners Too Much Power

Canada has launched legislation reining in social media and reducing its citizens’ freedom to express themselves online.

And while supporters of the Online Harms Act (Bill C-63) believe tighter control of speech and images by government is necessary to make platforms such as X and Facebook “safer,” it’s unclear if that will be the case.

This is totalitarian.

Online harms act won’t ban ‘awful but lawful’ content online, says justice minister

Justice Minister Arif Virani says the Online Harms Act won’t give the federal government the power to determine what is and isn’t appropriate content.

The bill, tabled by the Liberal government Monday, includes an amendment to define “hatred” in Canada’s Criminal Code. That definition, Virani said, does not include insulting or offensive content, but rather recognized hate speech like calling for genocide.

“People insult groups or people or races or religions all of the time. That’s going to continue to be awful but lawful,” Virani told The Current’s Matt Galloway.

“But when you call for the extermination of a people, you’re hitting a hate standard that’s already been entrenched by the courts.”

From the river to the sea Virani will invent the crime that fits me.

Carson Jerema: Don’t believe the Liberals, online harms act targets free speech

As much as the Liberals want everyone to believe that their proposed online harms act is focused almost exclusively on protecting children from predators, and that, as Justice Minister Arif Virani said, “It does not undermine freedom of speech,” that simply isn’t true. While the legislation, tabled Monday, could have been much worse — it mercifully avoids regulating “misinformation” — it opens up new avenues to censor political speech.

Online hate speech must not become political ‘yo-yo,’ anti-hate expert warns

OTTAWA – The former chair of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network is warning parliamentarians against turning a newly reintroduced section of the Canadian Human Rights Act into a game of political “yo-yo.”

Bernie Farber, a founding member of the advocacy group, said he welcomes the Liberal government’s effort to classify the dissemination of hate speech online as a form of discrimination.

The former Conservative government of Stephen Harper repealed that provision in 2013 out of concern it constituted a violation of free speech rights.

The asshole is retiring apparently.
