An NDP motion puts a big question to the test: Will Canada recognize Palestinian statehood?

Will we get Happy or Sad Fafo?

An opposition day motion brought forward by the NDP’s foreign affairs critic Monday could set the cat among the pigeons in the federal Liberal caucus.

The non-binding motion calls on the government to take a number of actions in response to the war in the Middle East, including that it should “officially recognize the State of Palestine.”

The motion was sponsored by NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh with the party’s foreign affairs critic, Heather McPherson, acting as the point person.

“We wrote this in a way that it’s not supposed to be a ‘gotcha’ motion,” she said.

It is Non-Binding giving Trudeau an out.

Joe Roberts: NDP’s anti-Israel motion is a moral test for this country

It’s become crystal clear why there have been four ministers of foreign affairs in the past five years under the Trudeau government: it is are a rudderless ship with no vision for how Canada should be represented on the world stage. The prime minister’s leadership has been catastrophic for Canadian foreign policy.

The Liberals have failed to meet our NATO commitments, leaving our allies questioning our ability and our resolve. They’ve failed to stand with our Israeli allies, who are facing an existential threat. They’ve left Canada’s image degraded, tarnished and nearing the point of total collapse.

The carbon levy will haunt Justin Trudeau whether he raises it or not

Justin Trudeau acknowledged this week that he’s no longer popular. Hearkening back to similar comments by former prime minister Brian Mulroney, whose funeral will be held Saturday, Trudeau said, “My job is not to be popular. … My job is to do the right things for Canada now, and do the right things for Canadians a generation from now.”

Friends and foes suggest a solution to Trudeau’s popularity problem — one that may lead the Liberals towards an existential crisis in the next election — is a pause to the carbon price increase coming to Canadians’ wallets on April 1.

But Trudeau has much more to lose if he amends his government’s signature climate policy than if he stands his ground.

Fisman’s Fraud

In her 2023 blockbuster “Fisman’s Fraud: The Rise of Canadian Hate Science,” Dr. R.N. Watteel outed the medical, media, academic, and political proponents of a prodigiously fraudulent Canadian study using the “follow-the-science” meme to justify discrimination and hate against the unvaccinated.

After Justin Trudeau’s Freedom Convoy debacle and his unwarranted invocation of the Emergencies Act, in which he acted like a vicious and unrepentant tyrant, the prime minister, she writes, “was in desperate need of science and justification for his [vaccine] mandates, so in came Fisman and his colleagues… What Fisman does is, he concocts…a model to simulate fake data that show the opposite of what the real data show,” claiming that “it’s the unvaccinated who have higher COVID-19 rates… and should be forbidden their Charter mobility rights.” The study is entirely counterfeit and should be regarded as criminal.

Canadians Could Present A Major Threat If They Realize That The Liberal Party’s Mass Immigration Scam Means They Won’t Own A Home: RCMP

Canada is facing a number of destabilizing forces like climate change, disinformation, and young adults never owning a home. That’s the take from an internal RCMP report called the Whole-Of-Government Five-Year Trends For Canada. The report is a “scanning exercise” on evolving risks for law enforcement to monitor. It puts the fact that many people under 35 will never own a home, on par with disinformation and climate change.

How asylum claims by students at these two Ontario colleges became ‘alarming’

Canada’s Immigration Minister Marc Miller warned last month that the increases in the number of asylum claims from international students is “alarming” and “totally unacceptable.”

Speaking ahead of cabinet meeting on Parliament Hill, Miller highlighted Toronto’s Seneca College, where asylum claims from international students increased from 300 in 2022 to almost 700 in 2023, and Kitchener’s Conestoga College, where claims jumped from 106 to 450 during that same period, reports The Canadian Press.

US Jailed Prof for Lying About Wuhan Ties, Chinese ‘Talent’ Recruitment; Would Canada Do So With Winnipeg Lab Scientists?

In 2023, a U.S. judge sentenced high-profile Harvard professor Charles Lieber to imprisonment and fines for lying about his ties with China’s state-run talent recruitment program and a Wuhan university. Several other researchers in the United States have been arrested on similar charges in recent years.

In Canada, after more than four years since Xiangguo Qiu and Keding Cheng were expelled from the high-security Winnipeg lab in 2019 and later fired for undisclosed ties with Chinese regime entities and talent programs, no charges have been announced.

If the Trudeau Liberals are annihilated in an election, it will be over housing

Luxury accommodation

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the federal Liberal government will be annihilated unless it pauses its carbon price increase in April. That’s not totally correct.

If the Trudeau Liberal government is annihilated in the next election, on an economic matter, it will be on carbon pricing but also broader, continuing inflation worries. And also concern about Canada’s GDP slumping on a per capita basis. But mostly housing.

Douglas Todd: Canadian leaders more wary about asylum seekers

“To those fleeing persecution, terror and war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength.”

That was the message Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted online in 2017, fresh from an election victory in which Canadian politicians of the left, right and centre were virtually competing to claim who would bring the most refugees from war-torn Syria.

Trudeau government courts Hamas vote by slow-walking Israel’s request for permission to import armoured vehicles: sources

The federal government is deliberately slow-walking a request from Israel for permission to import Canadian-made armoured patrol vehicles, two sources tell Radio-Canada.

Shortly after the deadly Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Hamas on Israeli citizens — which left about 1,200 people dead and some 250 others taken hostage — the Israeli government sent a request to the office of Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly for clearance to import about thirty armoured patrol vehicles from Ontario manufacturer Roshel.

Trudeau’s influence makes Joly even dumber.

Professor Alice Sullivan and Gender Lunatic Justin Trudeau

A British academic has claimed she was deplatformed by the Canadian government over her views on transgender issues.

Alice Sullivan, a professor of sociology at University College London, was set to give an online talk to staff at the Canadian Department of Justice last week about the problems with prioritising self-described gender data over biological sex, which the Canadian government now does “by default”.

Canada pledges help for Palestinian sex-crime victims, angering Israeli envoy

OTTAWA – Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly has announced funding for Palestinian women who have survived sexual violence, drawing an immediate rebuke from a senior Israeli official.

Joly pledged $1 million for women from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip whom her office described as “survivors of sexual violence, no matter the circumstance.”

Joly’s office would not say whether Canada believes Israeli forces are perpetrating sexual violence on women in Gaza, nor if the funding pertains to domestic abuse in the Palestinian territories.

Now Junior is sending his GF out to whore for Hamas votes.

Former Liberal Finance Minister’s Thank-You Letter to WEF Suggests More Collaboration Than Disclosed

Close interactions between Canadian cabinet ministers and the World Economic Forum are well-documented, but a newly revealed letter suggests forum staff may have been doing more work with the federal government than previously disclosed.

In an undated letter to a WEF official, former Finance Minister Bill Morneau praised the organization and its collaboration to achieve “common” objectives.
