As of Friday, individuals and businesses are no longer able to import restricted handguns into Canada, with limited exceptions.
The move announced earlier this month is aimed at expediting a key pillar of the federal effort to cap the number of handguns in the country.
In May, the Liberal government announced a plan to implement a freeze on importing, buying, selling or otherwise transferring handguns to help quell firearm-related violence.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s signature Canada Child Benefit (CCB) program has actually reduced the overall amount of government support to low-income families compared to middle and upper-income ones, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute released Thursday.
The man who negotiated on the City of Ottawa’s behalf with Tamara Lich and other organizers of the Freedom Convoy says an agreement for truckers to leave the city’s residential streets wasn’t given enough time to play out before the federal government used its emergency powers to quell the weeks-long occupation.
“This is a black mark on Canadian history,” Dean French said of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act on Feb. 14, just a day after word of an agreement between the city and truckers became public.
“History will show this was a total overreaction.”
… According to The Canadian Press, which obtained documents through the Access to Information Act, an admission of federal guilt was edited out of a speech written for Carolyn Bennett, then minister of Crown-Indigenous relations, in the days following the announcement by the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc Nation that what are believed to be the unmarked graves of about 200 children had been detected on the site of the former Kamloops residential school.
Fucking scumbag Trudeau.
Presenting the rising cost of living as a necessary price to pay for Ukrainian freedom is a surefire recipe for trouble
Wars aren’t always decided on the battlefield. As bravely as Ukrainian soldiers defend their homeland from Russian invasion, their heroics won’t suffice without continuous military and financial support from the West. American and European leaders have so far stood firmly behind Ukraine. Public opinion, however, is starting to dwindle. The most important fight for Ukraine could ultimately take place in the homes, streets and squares across Europe.
How long will Canadians put up with Trudeau using the Ukraine conflict as cover to inflict his economically ruinous Green-Scam agenda on them?
OTTAWA – The glitch-prone app touted as an efficient border tool early in the pandemic has become a punching bag for critics who question its utility — but ArriveCan may be here to stay.
The government insists it’s a useful tool. Critics say it has outlived its use, if it ever had one.
Here’s a quick lowdown on what we currently know about it.
I’m going to throw a lot of statistics at you in this column, but my purpose is simple: To show that Canada does not have a gun crime problem, at least not one that would warrant the kind of draconian gun controls the Trudeau government has brought in during the past two years, and is still bringing in.
Newly disclosed documents show federal intelligence officials warned decision-makers that the police dispersal of “Freedom Convoy” protesters in Ottawa last winter could prompt an “opportunistic attack” against a politician or symbol of government.
The Feb. 24 “threat highlight,” marked Secret/Canadian Eyes Only, also advised that extremist “influencers” would leverage the outcome of the protests for continued recruitment and propaganda, regardless of whether COVID-19 pandemic restrictions were relaxed.
The high-ranking Nova Scotia RCMP officer at the centre of a controversy over possible political interference by RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki following the 2020 mass shooting is doubling down on his allegations.
RCMP Chief Supt. Darren Campbell told a House of Commons committee Tuesday that he recalls Lucki saying during an April 28, 2020 call that she was “sad and disappointed” that Campbell had not released details about the gunman’s weapons at a news conference.
Campbell told MPs that the commissioner also said she had “promised” the offices of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and then-Public Safety minister Bill Blair that those details would be released.
It’s all the rage. The post-modern politics of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have given birth to a fresh social phenomenon: prejudice against Anglophones and Christians in Canada.
It’s application is subtle. So much so that white Canadians are never mentioned by name. For CAP, it’s a cowardly act. If government, media and our educational system are going to call out Canada for racism against so-called “minorities,” at least they could have the gumption to actually name the perpetrators.
Watching the Liberal government and the establishment media lamenting the divided nature of our nation is a profoundly odd experience.
It’s as if someone poured gasoline on a house, lit a match, and then was absolutely shocked a fire was taking place.
The Nova Scotia RCMP members who first alleged political interference occurred during an inquiry into the largest mass shooting in Canadian history are standing by their claim.
Two letters emerged in recent months that allege then-public safety minister Bill Blair pushed RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki to demand Nova Scotia RCMP release details about the firearms used during the shooting spree, which took 22 people’s lives on April 18, 2020.
They bore the brunt of the near shutdown of the aviation industry. Tens of thousands of pilots, flight attendants, security screeners and baggage handlers were suddenly out of work when passenger travel all but vanished during the early days of the pandemic. Many of them left the industry for good.
Tim Perry, a WestJet pilot and president of the Canadian arm of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), warned politicians 10 months into the pandemic that it would take several years for all those jobs to return without financial aid from Ottawa.
The solution to every problem in Canada is more socialism for corporate Canada.
A senior official at Transport Canada expressed doubts about the rationale for a vaccine mandate for transportation 13 days before it came into force, and had asked Health Canada for more data to justify the policy, internal emails reveal.
“To the extent that updated data exist or that there is clearer evidence of the safety benefit of vaccination on the users or other stakeholders of the transportation system, it would be helpful to assist Transport Canada [in] supporting its measures,” wrote Aaron McCrorie in an Oct. 18, 2021, email to Dawn Lumley-Myllari.
Inflation in Canada falls to 7.6% in first monthly decrease in a year
Gasoline got cheaper last month, but grocery prices continued to climb
Canada’s inflation rate fell to 7.6 per cent in July, according to a report Tuesday from Statistics Canada, marking the first time in 12 months that the rate has decreased from the previous month.
In June, inflation hit a 39-year high of 8.1 per cent, with gasoline prices the single biggest contributor to the overall rate increase.
By contrast, gasoline prices declined on a monthly basis in July, according to the agency’s Consumer Price Index. Consumers paid 9.2 per cent less for gasoline in July than they did in June, a monthly decline not seen since April 2020.
