Hostile countries, China and Russia are targeting Canadian activists, journalists, security agency says

Hostile countries, a group that includes China and Russia, are targeting foreign nationals and diaspora populations in Canada, as well as activists and journalists, according to the Communications Security Establishment.

“State-sponsored cyberthreat actors almost certainly” target those groups in order “to monitor and control these individuals,” Canada’s cyber defense agency said in a new report. The tools they use include “content monitoring on foreign-based applications, social media-enabled activity and espionage against individuals using spyware.”

We have Bigger Fish to worry about than Russia or China … The enemy within aka the Liberal Party.

More Canadians are turning to food banks than ever before, new report says

A record number of people used food banks in Canada this year, with high inflation and low social assistance rates cited as key factors in the rise, according to a new report.

The annual report from Food Banks Canada said there were nearly 1.5 million visits to food banks in March, 15 per cent more than the same month last year and 35 per cent more than in March 2019, prior to the pandemic.

Linda Godin, a 72-year-old living on a fixed income in Edmonton, is among those who have had to turn to food banks given the rising cost of living.

Michael Higgins: Expect Trudeau to act as if nothing happened after Emergencies Act inquiry

Call it chaos, confusion, or a shambles, but at least what happened in British politics recently was down to accountability, a virtue increasingly absent in the Canadian government.

Unfortunately it’s an inquiry not a trial. Justin will ignore Canadians and continue to ruin this once great nation.

Auditor General Says $500M in Overpayments to Civil Servants Needs to Be Collected before time runs out

… Meanwhile, more than $500 million in overpayments were made to more than 100,000 employees, some dating back more than three years.

If the government doesn’t collect those overpayments soon, the auditor says, it may run out of time to use some recovery mechanisms because of legal limitations.

Chinese police operatives operating in Canada, U.S. says in new court filing

A recently unsealed indictment in the United States alleges that Beijing’s overseas campaign to put pressure on Chinese nationals to return and face criminal charges in the People’s Republic China includes enforcement efforts on Canadian soil.

These U.S. accusations have come to light about six weeks after Spain-based human rights group Safeguard Defenders alleged three of China’s more than 50 overseas police stations are operating in Toronto. China’s embassy in Canada has denied this.

Once again foreign nations, in this case Spain and the USA , are the source of information Canadians were in the dark about.

Rex Murphy: Singh betrays NDP with pledge to grant Trudeau parliamentary immunity

What will it take to break the hoops of steel that now bind Jagmeet Singh to the fortunes and political health of Justin Trudeau?

What bonding between the two is so adamant that nothing can sunder it?

Trudeau Ministers panicked seeing “bouncing castles in downtown Ottawa,” – Lucki

Feds ‘lost confidence’ in Ottawa police, Lucki told OPP in texts released at inquiry

The text messages exchanged between Carrique and Lucki on Feb. 5, in which the RCMP commissioner also said she was having a hard time trying to calm down federal cabinet ministers seeing “bouncing castles in downtown Ottawa,” were submitted to the public inquiry.

Emergencies Act Inquiry to hear CSIS evidence on ‘Freedom Convoy’ in secret

OTTAWA—A judge leading the federal inquiry into the Liberal government’s use of a special emergency law to end the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protests has agreed to hear evidence from Canada’s spy agency at a secret hearing.

In a ruling made public late Wednesday, Justice Paul Rouleau said the federal government asked for a secret hearing — behind closed doors and without other parties present — in order for his commission counsel to examine employees of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service on evidence related to the convoy protest that the agency claims is classified.

It all centres around evidence not yet tabled at the inquiry. And it is unclear what is the subject of the CSIS intelligence that the spy agency wants to protect.

What do they have to hide?

Food bank usage across Canada hit all-time high in March: report

The number of people using food banks across the country surged to an all-time high earlier this year, with high inflation and low social assistance rates cited as key factors in the rise, a new report from Food Banks Canada indicates.

The annual report released Thursday said there were nearly 1.5 million visits to food banks in March, a figure that was 15 per cent higher than the number of visits in the same month last year and 35 per cent higher than visits in March 2019, before the pandemic hit.

RCMP investigating Chinese ‘police’ stations in Canada

The RCMP says it’s investigating Chinese “police” stations in Canada.

This comes after the Spain-based human rights group Safeguard Defenders reported that more than 50 exist worldwide, including three in the Greater Toronto Area in predominantly Chinese communities.

They include a residential home and single-storey commercial building in Markham and a convenience store in Scarborough.

John Ivison: It’s becoming clear that the federal government overreached to shut down the Freedom Convoy

The Ottawa Police Services superintendent led the mission that finally cleared the Freedom Convoy in February, and on Wednesday was being grilled by the counsel for the Public Order Emergency Commission, Frank Au, on the impact the government’s proclamation of an emergency had on his plans.

Bernier said the invocation of the Emergencies Act on Feb. 14 for the first time in Canadian history did not significantly impact the planning process for the operation that cleared the streets of protesters around Parliament Hill four days later. “The plan I was developing was based on existing authorities,” he told the commission. “I was satisfied we were going to have all the authorities we needed to take action.”

Ottawa’s ‘net-zero’ transit plan disconnected from reality

In case you haven’t heard, the Trudeau government has a plan for Canada to become a “net-zero” emitter of greenhouse gases by 2050 with an interim plan to 2030. As some analysts (including myself) have observed, this is a quixotic endeavour doomed to failure, at the cost of many billions of taxpayer dollars and a great deal of economic wastage. And according to the most recent wisdom from Greta Thunberg, even if “we carried out all of our climate action plans, we’d still be in trouble. Net zero by 2050 is simply too little, too late. There is just too much at stake for us to place our destiny in the hands of undeveloped technologies. We need real zero.”

Unprecedented hatred of Trudeau government has cabinet ministers running scared & RCMP running short of protection officers

Ministers’ teams don’t always agree with the RCMP’s assessments of danger levels

The RCMP’s close protection unit is running short of the specialized officers it needs to protect elected officials, undermining its ability to respond to federal ministers’ growing demands for security services, new figures show.

In the Ottawa region alone, 75 positions out of a total of 315 in the RCMP’s protection unit are unstaffed — a vacancy rate of 24 per cent — according to data obtained by Radio-Canada. Similar vacancy rates afflict the RCMP’s close protection units in other parts of the country, the RCMP said.

Several RCMP and government officials said the shortage of officers is complicating the force’s efforts to protect the prime minister, the Governor General, Supreme Court justices, diplomats and foreign dignitaries.

Matthew Lau: Ottawa’s woke plan for washroom equity

Government absurdities are like dandelions in the summer. They are everywhere and there are so many to choose from. But while dandelions are generally uniform, some government policies are so preposterous they stand out from all the rest. The Liberal government in Ottawa has just served up a splendid example. “A lack of access to menstrual products in men’s toilet rooms,” it says, “has raised concerns regarding washroom equity.” Thus the need for a regulatory proposal — stretching over 10,000 words and sponsored by no fewer than four government departments (Employment and Social Development, Indigenous Services, Natural Resources, and Transport) — to improve hygiene and accommodate trans-gender individuals in federally regulated workplaces.

Bank of Canada raises rate by 50 basis points, predicts potential recession in the first half of 2023

OTTAWA – The Bank of Canada has raised its overnight rate to 3.75 per cent from 3.25 per cent. Since March, the central bank has increased its policy rate six times, aimed at tackling inflation and bringing it back to its 2 per cent target.

The bank predicts Canada could see a potential recession in the first half of 2023, according to its latest Monetary Policy Report.

“GDP growth is then projected to slow to between 0 per cent and 0.5 per cent through the end of 2022 and the first half of 2023,” reads the report. “This suggests that a couple of quarters with growth slightly below zero is just as likely as a couple of quarters with small positive growth.”

From the Star… Bank of Canada hits Canadians with growth-crushing hammer in latest interest rate hike

So let’s get this straight.

The economy has ground to a halt, and Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem is raising rates anyway —and quite aggressively.

The central bank released its new projections for the Canadian economy on Wednesday morning, and while it didn’t quite call “recession,” the new numbers for economic activity have been revised down to show basically no growth right now and in the near future.

You will pay and pay and pay for Justin’s policy choices not Justin’s cronies.
