Government abruptly suspends citizenship certificates issued under ‘lost Canadians’ law

The federal government has suddenly suspended a number of Canadian citizenship certificates issued to people around the world who became eligible for citizenship late last year.

In a notice emailed Saturday to an unknown number of people who successfully applied for and obtained citizenship certificates based on having a Canadian ancestor, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada ordered them to return their certificates pending a review of their files.

“The purpose of this letter is to inform you that I have information in my possession that indicates that you may not be entitled to hold a Canadian certificate of citizenship,” reads the notice signed Peggy Sun, registrar of Canadian citizenship.

Canada cracking down on asylum claims from St-Pierre and Miquelon ferry to Nfld.

OTTAWA – The federal government says it is cracking down on what it calls a “low volume” of asylum claims made by foreigners arriving in Newfoundland and Labrador from a nearby territory of France.

Saint Pierre and Miquelon, an archipelago 19 kilometres off the coast of Newfoundland, is served by frequent ferry service.


Cheezus we can’t defend our borders from the most pipsqueak of threats.

Federal advocate warns Canada’s housing affordability crisis could take 1,000 years to fix

Federal advocate warns Canada’s housing affordability crisis could take 1,000 years to fix

A federal housing watchdog is warning that Canada is building affordable housing so slowly it could take more than 1,000 years to eliminate homelessness and restore affordability for the country’s poorest residents.

In her annual report to Parliament, Federal Housing Advocate Marie-Josée Houle said Canada faces a shortfall of 4.4 million affordable homes and needs a dramatic increase in public, non-profit and co-operative housing construction to address the crisis.

The Western Surrender

The Western Surrender

We are blessed to live in Canada, as is anyone fortunate enough to live in the wider western world. An inheritance of liberty, the rule of law, wealth and stability that’s unmatched in all of history is to be cherished and protected. And yet, in country after country, there have been movements to dismantle all that makes the West worth defending. It’s a project being advanced not by our enemies, external or domestic, but by the very governments tasked with stewarding this great inheritance.

AUBUT: Canada’s Truman Show — the mainstream media controls the door, not just the window

AUBUT: Canada’s Truman Show — the mainstream media controls the door, not just the window

Canada is living through something closer to The Truman Show than most people realize.

The film presents a man living inside a manufactured world, one carefully staged so that he sees only what others want him to see. His routines are real enough, but the setting is contrived: the horizon is false; the sky is a set; the town is a performance; and even his relationships are filtered through a script written by others. Like the average person, Truman is not stupid. He has simply been enclosed within a controlled reality and given little reason to question the frame.

‘Nobody has the right to own a home’

‘Nobody has the right to own a home’

Nobody has the right to own a home.

I can’t shake this comment from an Ottawa mandarin, made during an unguarded moment at a Bay Street event where it spilled into a casual conversation about affordable homes for families.

As Canadians do, I grinned, walked away with a drink in hand and stewed. What can families expect for the billions of taxpayer dollars being spent on housing by all levels of government?

Our youth are struggling. What do we owe them – and our future?

Our youth are struggling. What do we owe them – and our future?

Imagine a young woman, 18, who waited many years to see a professional psychologist as her depression and anxiety disorder worsened and impeded her at school and at work. She never achieved her full potential, and her unresolved traumas will eventually affect the way she raised her children. This is not an uncommon story.

Last month’s World Happiness Report offered a striking data point – Canada’s youth ranked 71st globally on measures of mental well-being. Last year, Ontario’s Auditor-General found that more than half the province’s children and youth didn’t have access to adequate mental health care when they needed it.


So basically everything the LPC has done for the yute is just smoke and mirrors.

Joly to meet Chinese EV makers in Shanghai in bid to attract auto sector investment

Joly to meet Chinese EV makers in Shanghai in bid to attract auto sector investment

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly says she will be meeting with four Chinese companies that are considering building electric vehicles in Canada when she visits China this week in an effort to attract investment to this country’s auto sector.

The four companies – BYD, Chery, Geely and Shanghai Launch Automotive Technology – have been examining possible investments in Canada, Ms. Joly said in an interview. Shanghai Launch’s proposal includes a partnership with British automaker Austin Motor Co., she added.


Canada is a very small market, without US access the ChiComs will just smile and wave at Joly but if she offers to subsidize China’s slavers with tax payer dollars they might perk up a bit.

Pensions, passports and misinformation: What each side says the other gets wrong about Alberta independence

Pensions, passports and misinformation: What each side says the other gets wrong about Alberta independence

Would Alberta seniors lose their Canadian pensions if the province separates? Would Albertans lose their Canadian passports?

Even these basic questions are disputed in Alberta right now as both sides gear up for a referendum on the question of independence this October.

Separatist supporter Wendy Fitzpatrick said pensions were the biggest point of concern she heard from older Albertans while gathering signatures, and she believes the pro-Canada side is spreading misinformation on that.

CBC – Open your hearts and wallets for ChiCom EV’s made exempt of the slave labour ban by Carney!

As electric vehicles make their way here on cargo ships from China, export markets like Canada are becoming ever more crucial to Chinese carmakers during a seismic shift in the global auto industry.

Dozens of those companies are grappling with factors at home that have driven them to focus on selling cars to other countries to keep up production levels. Meanwhile, overseas markets are attempting to balance accepting a new era of Chinese EV dominance with protecting any existing auto industries through tariffs and import caps.


Carney is one sick sociopath.

Carney says ‘strands’ of a new world order could be woven at G7 summit

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney says the “strands” of a new world order could be woven at the G7 summit next week.

Carney made the remarks during a discussion at Trinity College Dublin while on a six-day trip to Europe.

In January, the prime minister delivered a speech in Davos calling on middle powers to band together in the face of great powers, which has received global reception.

Nothing Discourages Entrepreneurship Like Overpaid Government Jobs

Nothing Discourages Entrepreneurship Like Overpaid Government Jobs

In a bygone era civil servants often spoke of their dedication to public employment as a form of sacrifice. Government work offered stability, but rarely the salaries, bonuses, opportunities, or prestige available in private enterprise. It was regarded as a civic vocation and a service to the common good.

In Canada, such claims are now detached from reality. Today, public-sector positions offer salaries, pensions, benefits, and job security that often exceed what comparable workers in the private economy can expect to earn. In some sectors, government and Crown corporation employment has become not merely competitive with private enterprise, but superior to it in compensation, stability, and lifestyle.

Carney speaks at a Muslim Brotherhood function[/caption]While many Canadian Jews feel alone and unsupported because of increases in antisemitism, they may find it comforting to learn that many non-Jews, including a number with Muslim and Arabic backgrounds, are objecting strongly to some of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s questionable choices.

Canadian military struggles to recruit despite strong support from young Canadians

Most young Canadians view the military favourably, but only a minority would seriously consider joining its ranks, according to new Department of National Defence research highlighting ongoing recruitment challenges for the Canadian Armed Forces.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the study found that while 79% of Canadians under 34 hold a positive opinion of the military, just 30% said they would likely consider a career in the armed forces.

Carney’s Muslim values to cost tax payers $100M for Palestinians allegedly facing settler violence, humanitarian crisis

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand announced on Friday $100 million in federal funding to support Palestinians living in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

She unveiled the funding in Paris, where Western leaders are meeting to discuss mounting challenges preventing a future two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Anand’s office says the funding will go to United Nations agencies, the Red Cross and others to address what it calls a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza and rising violence in the West Bank by extremist Israeli settlers.


Why must Carney’s Muslim values always cost the tax payer so much?
