OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the country welcomed more than 145,000 immigrants during the first three months of the year.
That’s the highest number for a single quarter on record, since comparable data became available in 1972.
No one in the PC Party has spoken out about this assault on Canada.
Canada’s grocery business is controlled by large players and needs government assistance to encourage new entrants to bring down prices, a report from Canada’s Competition Bureau says.
The report, published Tuesday, is the result of a probe that Canada’s top competition watchdog launched last year, when concern over food prices hit a fever pitch.
The bureau spent months examining many aspects of Canada’s grocery business, which is dominated by three domestic giants — Loblaws, Metro and Sobey’s owner Empire — along with foreign players like Walmart and Costco.
Nothing will come of this. Canada is the land of Milk & Honey – for Oligopolies.
Over half of the billions paid out under a corporate subsidy program to support “innovative projects” in Canada will not be recovered, according to a written submission to the Senate national finance committee.
In its submission on June 19, the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) told senators that more than half of the $7 billion spent under its Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) was “non-repayable.”
The public service is not keeping pace with Canadians’ needs in a digital world, says the woman who used to lead it.
“The public service is still working in what I would describe as kind of analog ways and the world has moved on,” former clerk of the Privy Council Janice Charette, told Rosemary Barton Live in an interview airing Sunday.
“You can make a dinner reservation, you can book a cruise, you can move money in and out of your bank account, transfer between the two of us — it’s remarkable the things you can do in a digital world and the public service, and our service delivery infrastructure has not kept up with that.”
The source behind foreign interference leaks ‘will be found’ and punished, PM’s security adviser says
The prime minister’s top national security adviser says she expects the security official who leaked sensitive information to the media about attempted Chinese interference in Canadian politics — prompting months of controversy over foreign interference in Canadian elections — will be caught and punished.
“The law has been broken. Sources, techniques have been put at risk. Our credibility with Five Eyes allies has been put at risk,” Jody Thomas told host Catherine Cullen in an exclusive interview with CBC’s The House that will air Saturday.
Governor General Mary Simon doesn’t seem to give a damn about taxpayers’ dollars. Since becoming the King’s representative in Canada nearly two years ago, Simon has run up several staggering bills for which ordinary Canadians have had to pay.
Last time she was discussing “World Peace” this time she was saving the world from “Global warming.” You need a lot of luxury to accomplish that stuff.
A Canadian former executive at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is criticizing Canada’s membership in the institution, saying it’s inconsistent with Canadian values.
“I didn’t find a single, tangible benefit to communicate back home here to Canada of what this bank does that is consistent with our values in a way that would benefit Canadians,” Bob Pickard, who resigned from the AIIB last week, told Power & Politics host David Cochrane in an interview Monday.
Smells like another China Class Grift.
A journalist whose reporting helped raise concerns about possible Chinese meddling in Canadian democracy told a committee of MPs on June 20 that he stands by his work.
Sam Cooper, who recently left Global News to start his own online news site, told MPs that other countries, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, have faced similar disclosures about Chinese attempts to influence elections, and have followed up with laws designed to counter foreign interference.
But in Canada, said Cooper, that has not happened.
It’s without question one of the darkest episodes in Canada’s modern history.
For 24 years starting in 1923, the Canada Immigration Act barred almost any Chinese person from migrating to this country, an ugly extension of the earlier “White Canada” policy and a response to widespread fear of what some called the “yellow peril.”
Justin Trudeau will be remembered for his ‘leadership’ — not ‘the trash and the rumours,’ Brian Mulroney says
OTTAWA — It wasn’t the flattering words, but the bitter context, that made Brian Mulroney’s introduction of Justin Trudeau on Monday night an extraordinary political moment.
Far from Parliament Hill, in Nova Scotia the former Progressive Conservative prime minister hailed Trudeau for his “leadership” of Canada through repeated crises, saying that’s what history will remember, not “trivia and the trash and the rumours that make the rounds” in Ottawa.
Mulroney: nothing wrong accepting envelopes of $1,000 bills
OTTAWA – Former prime minister Brian Mulroney cited the brazen public nature of his cash transactions with Karlheinz Schreiber as evidence today that there was nothing untoward in their business arrangement.
Mulroney told a public inquiry that he accepted an envelope stuffed with 75 one-thousand-dollar bills from Schreiber at a hotel at Montreal’s Mirabel Airport and then climbed into a car with his RCMP escort with the envelope in full view.
Grifters or what?

It is in America’s interest to find out the salacious details of foreign interference in democratic elections, especially when it occurs in our northern neighbor.
Unless its wildfires cause the skies in New York City to turn the color of a sci-fi dystopia, Americans tend not to think much about Canada. But you know who has not forgotten about our neighbor to the north? China’s ruler, Xi Jinping.
As part of China’s unfriendly competition with the West, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) chairman appears to have overseen a far-reaching and complicated effort to advance Beijing’s interests through direct interference in Canada’s 2019 and 2021 federal elections.
McKinsey pitched Purdue Pharma Canada on plan to boost opioid sales in 2014, memo reveals
Global consulting giant McKinsey & Co., under the leadership of Dominic Barton, pitched Purdue Pharma (Canada) in 2014 on how it could more aggressively market and boost sales of OxyContin and other highly addictive opioids to Canadians, according to a confidential memo obtained by The Globe and Mail.
McKinsey & Co. is facing a class-action lawsuit from the B.C. government, which Ottawa plans to join, that accuses the firm of engaging in reckless marketing campaigns to boost opioid sales, placing the Liberal government at odds with a company it has relied on for more than $100-million in contract work since 2015.
Barton is the same sociopath behind Trudeau’s mass immigration scam, he was a founding member of Century 100 and is also a China Class 5th columinist.
Thirteen years ago, the then newly-appointed director of the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service warned Canadians about the growing threat of interference by China.
It almost ended Richard Fadden’s career. It’s also why he would be an excellent choice to head a public inquiry into foreign interference today.
Despite setbacks during COVID-19, Canada’s population is now growing at a “record-setting pace” and will soon pass the 40 million mark, reads a new update from Statistics Canada.
According to StatCan’s real-time population clock, Canada’s numbers will hit the 40 million mark just before 3 p.m. EST Friday, the organization said.
Given the housing shortage and the strain all services are suffering Trudeau’s mass immigration scam is a cruel and heartless act inflicted on Canadians.
It’s a sleazy plan concocted by Junior’s fellow China class crony Dominic Barton & others that will solely benefit the Corporate Class.
There is no labour shortage and asylum seekers are sleeping on the street.
Contrary to Junior’s Star this is nothing to celebrate as mass immigration is a criminal fraud in progress..
Only the People’s Party is speaking out about this travesty.
Three-quarters of Canadians are in favour of hefty government subsidies to Stellantis and Volkswagen, a new poll suggests.
… Only 21 per cent of respondents said they were “familiar” with the issue, while 39 per cent had not “heard about it before today” and 40 per cent had “heard about it” but were unfamiliar with the specifics.
… Using online panels based on the Lucid exchange platform, Abacus surveyed 2,000 people between June 6 and 11.
Talk about polishing a Turdeau.
