Two Canadian community organizations — one of which has received thousands of dollars in federal funding — are prime examples of how the Chinese government has tried to covertly shape opinions worldwide about human rights abuses in Xinjiang province, says a new report by Australian academics.
Canadian democracy is in decline.
To even suggest that a few short years ago would have been shocking, but the signs of weakening institutions and fraying checks and balances are now unmistakable.
Critics of the “democratic decline” thesis are quick to point out that Canada is not Russia, Yemen, or China. This is obviously true but these critics are also missing a key point – democracy is not an all-or-nothing proposition.
The state of democracy is measured by the relative performance of a political system on a range of variables over time. There is a lot of space between “perfect democracy” and “complete autocracy.”
One thing you can say about the Trudeau Liberals is that they’re consistent.
Unfortunately, that consistency is manifest in their relentless assault on our rights and freedoms.
At a day-long hearing Tuesday, Crown prosecutors argued that Lich breached her conditions after being photographed alongside fellow organizer Tom Marazzo at a Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms George Jonas Award ceremony in June.
Lich’s bail conditions prohibit communication with a number of people, including Marazzo, unless in the presence of counsel.
Lich’s lawyers argued that counsel was present at the event.
In his acceptance speech after winning a third term in office, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sought to downplay the divisions within Canada, saying “that’s not what I see.”
A poll from Maru Public Opinion says he is wrong. A Nanos Research Group poll finds that just 17% of respondents believe Canada should accept more immigrants to our country. Trudeau responded by establishing the highest immigration quotas in history. The Liberal government target stands at 451,000 migrants for 2024.
In the meantime, 77% of survey respondents said Canada feels more fractured than ever. 52% said Canada’s democratic system is broken and “needs a major overhaul.”
In March 1991, after winning a decisive victory in the first Gulf War, 90 per cent of Americans approved of then president George H.W. Bush’s job performance.
Eighteen months later, with the U.S. in recession, 64 per cent disapproved of his administration.
In November 1992, Bill Clinton was elected as the 42nd president of the United States, on the back of the unofficial slogan: “It’s the economy, stupid.”
Singh and Trudeau. Remember them.
The Trudeau government has approved a plan requested by Quebec to ship asylum claimants who illegally cross into Canada via Roxham Road into Ontario cities such as Niagara Falls and Ottawa.
Quebec authorities have pleaded with Ottawa in recent months to alleviate the stress the influx of migrants has caused for the province.
The Canadian government’s massive annual donations of foreign aid to Third World countries is one of the most overlooked issues in our country.
From the point of view of a debt and inflation-ridden society, the situation is absurd. While Canada has been bogged down by an economically damaging pandemic, billions of dollars have flowed from government coffers to so-called “developing nations.”
TORONTO, July 3 (Reuters) – Health authorities across Canada have cut the hours of hospital emergency departments and urgent care clinics in recent weeks, a move that in some cases may extend through the summer, due to a surge in patients and staff shortages.
The situation, clinicians say, is tied to a resurgence of viral infections such as COVID-19 among adults and children and a push by others to seek care delayed by the pandemic, and exacerbated by the high number of healthcare workers who are sick or burned out.
According to the website Blacklock’s Reporter, on Wednesday the federal cabinet approved a quarter of a million dollars for a group called the Canadian Anti-Hate Network to produce propaganda for school children that seeks to demonize Conservative parties in Canada as hotbeds for white nationalists and other racists.
After years apart, Elizabeth Taliana says she booked a flight for her daughter to fly out from Toronto to Vancouver.
Her daughter only gets one week of vacation from work during the summer.
Even though she made the reservation more than two months ago, Taliana says she only learned recently that her daughter’s flight had been cancelled, a trend Canadians are becoming all too familiar with.
“I have not seen my daughter in almost six years, so this is very distressing,” Taliana told CTVNews.ca in an email.

Tamara Lich is getting a cellmate.
Allegations of political interference in the investigation of the mass shooting in Nova Scotia highlight continuing problems with politicization of the RCMP, say former Mounties.
Rob Creasser was an RCMP officer in British Columbia from 1992 to 2010 and helped spearhead efforts to form the Mounted Police Professional Association of Canada (MPPAC). In an interview with Western Standard, Creasser said the revelations are only the latest indication of continuing problems.
“What I would gently call dysfunction within the organization — that hasn’t changed, despite me being out for now, over a decade,” Creasser said.
