As at least 10,000 delegates and observers from more than 190 countries gather in Montreal for the Convention of the Parties’ biodiversity summit this week, it’s difficult not to be dreary about the summit’s prospects for reversing the alarming trends that continue to push the earth’s animal and plant species over extinction’s cliff edge.
Government will review RCMP contract awarded to China-linked company
The federal government is reviewing an RCMP equipment contract awarded to a company with ties to China’s government that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called “disconcerting.”
Trudeau said the government will also re-examine its approach to procurement.
A Radio-Canada investigation found that Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) awarded Sinclair Technologies a contract worth $549,637 last year to build and maintain a radio frequency (RF) filtering system for the Mounties.
OTTAWA — A claim from the federal Liberals’ revenue minister that a critical audit into federal COVID-19 spending was flawed and politically motivated saw the Conservatives blast the government Tuesday for challenging the independence of an officer of Parliament.
The surprise political drama saw auditor general Karen Hogan forced to defend her office’s probe — which is required by legislation — into the multibillion-dollar pandemic benefits programs that were rolled out within weeks after COVID-19 shut down nearly every aspect of public life in Canada.
Canadians are growing more concerned about the state of the economy and the impacts on their pocketbooks, a new poll suggests, with a majority now saying they are worried they won’t have enough money to feed their families.
The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News found 53 per cent of those surveyed were fearful about having enough food on the table, up nine points from just a month ago.
The federal government awarded a contract to provide and maintain RCMP communications equipment to a company with ties to the Chinese government, Radio-Canada has learned.
The contract has security experts raising concerns about potential Chinese access to RCMP communications and data.
On October 6, 2021, the federal government awarded Sinclair Technologies a contract worth $549,637 for a radio frequency (RF) filtering system. One of the system’s purposes is to protect the RCMP’s land-based radio communications from eavesdropping.
Canada’s China Class at work. Pretty hard to stop given the LPC is likely infiltrated from top to bottom.
I’m sure Justin will blame it on White Supremacists.
The federal government’s reforms of gun-control laws won’t take away rifles used by hunters, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday as critics, including Montreal Canadiens player Carey Price, speak out against the proposed changes.
A Liberal amendment to Bill C-21, which is currently being studied by members of Parliament, would set out a regulatory ban on what the government calls “assault-style weapons” by putting an evergreen definition for such firearms into law.
Does anyone believe this liar?
OTTAWA — Canada’s spy agency has noted an “alarming escalation” of espionage and foreign interference since the beginning of the pandemic, with countries like China threatening or intimidating people in Canada into namely supporting a specific electoral candidate.
“These activities are real, they’re persistent, they’re increasing, and it’s not hypothetical, we see it everyday in our work. And these activities will be targeting all level of governments, whether it’s federal, municipal, provincial,” veteran CSIS intelligence analyst Noura Hayek told attendees of the Council on Governmental Ethics Laws conference Monday.
Can’t they identify the perps?
Can’t they deport them?
Why do CSIS’ hands seem to be tied?
Or is Canada’s China class preventing that action be taken?
OTTAWA – Justice Minister David Lametti was pressed to delay the expansion of medical assistance in dying, amid growing reports Canadian institutions aren’t ready for the change, but declined to promise any pause.
The medically assisted death system didn’t initially include any provision for allowing people faced solely with a mental illness to commit suicide, but in a 2019 rewrite of the law, Senators expanded the scope and gave the government two years to come up with regulations before the law automatically expanded to include mental illness.
In 2017, the Communications Security Establishment revealed the existence of “low-sophistication cyber threat activity” on Twitter targeting the 2015 election.
More recently, a Global News report revealed that China was behind a “vast campaign of foreign interference” in the 2019 election. This interference reportedly included financial payments to at least 11 federal candidates and “numerous Beijing operatives” who worked in campaign offices at the behest of their Communist overlords.
OTTAWA — Revelations that some Canadian veterans have been offered medically assisted deaths while seeking help from the federal government are adding to worries about Ottawa’s plans to expand such procedures to include mental-health injuries and illnesses.
Veterans’ organizations are instead calling on Ottawa to increase access to mental-health services for former service members, which includes addressing the long wait times that many are forced to endure when applying for assistance.
With the new year approaching, expect a deluge of reminders by the Trudeau government and the environmental movement that Canada is now the highest per capita emitter of greenhouse gases in the world.
The federal government refers to this all the time as it attempts to pound Canadians into submission when it comes to quietly accepting carbon pricing — meaning higher costs for consumers on almost everything to “save the planet.”
Next year, Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax will rise to 14¢ per litre of gasoline, despite the hardship caused to Canadian families by the rising cost of gasoline and the runaway inflation that is itself the direct result of the Trudeau government’s orgy of spending and borrowing.
OTTAWA — “I don’t take edicts from you, you’re not my f—ing boss.”
That’s what an Ontario cabinet minister snapped at her federal counterpart in February as he pressed for answers about how the province and Ontario Provincial Police would handle so-called “Freedom Convoy” protesters who had by then paralyzed downtown Ottawa for nearly two weeks.
It was the height of what would soon be declared a national public order emergency.
Then-solicitor general Sylvia Jones’s icy retort to Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino was revealed at a public inquiry in one of hundreds of fascinating texts that showed how tensions mounted, police struggled and governments fought behind the scenes.
“… Meanwhile, the government has weakened our social safety net to a disheartening degree. At the provincial level, Ontario Works (our welfare system) and the Ontario Disability Support Program are woefully underfunded. We’re at the point where clients on these programs are telling us they’re considering medically assisted death or suicide because they can’t live in grinding poverty anymore. A client in our Food Bank 2 Home delivery program told one of our staff that they’re considering suicide because they’re so tired of suffering through poverty. Another client asked if we knew how to apply for MAID for the same reasons. We can’t underestimate the effect that poverty has on someone’s mental health. Our clients live with constant worry, and cut corners on needed items like medication, fresh food, or warm clothes—constantly living under that stress takes its toll mentally, emotionally and physically.
Yes sir Justin just keep dumping truckloads of money on foreigners to burnish your imagined “international image” and please keep that massive wave of immigrants a comin!
OTTAWA — The federal government is making it easier for temporary foreign workers to bring their families with them to Canada.
At an event in Edmonton on Friday, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser announced that starting in January, people applying for temporary work permits would also be able to bring their families with them, something previously not permitted in most cases.
The so-called “labour shortage” is a lie. The government is fighting the inflation it created on the the backs of the poor by colluding with Canada’s corporate welfare parasites to keep wages down – the Bank of Canada is on record admitting this. Mass immigration ensures they have have enough compliant wage slaves fighting for crumbs.
