CSIS alleges India organized support for Poilievre’s 2022 Conservative leadership bid

Agents of India and their proxies allegedly meddled in the 2022 election of Pierre Poilievre as Conservative Party Leader as part of a larger effort to cozy up to politicians of all parties, according to a source with top-secret clearance.

The source said the Canadian Security Intelligence Service learned that Indian agents were involved in raising money and organizing within the South Asian community for Mr. Poilievre during the leadership race, which he won handily. But the CSIS assessment did not indicate that this effort was done in a sweeping and highly organized way, the source said. Mr. Poilievre won on the first ballot with 68 per cent of the vote.

CSIS also did not have evidence that Mr. Poilievre or members of his inner circle were aware of the alleged actions of India’s agents and their proxies, said the source, who has national security clearance to see top secret reports.

Think tank warns federal subsidies turning MSM into government arm

Expanding subsidies risk transforming Canada’s mainstream media into a government-controlled entity, an Ottawa think tank warned Thursday.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, in a report by former Calgary Herald publisher Peter Menzies, argued that growing reliance on federal funding is damaging journalism’s credibility and independence.

Canadian Journalists Try to Shut Down Reporting on New Prime Minister’s ‘Trans’ Daughter

This week, a Canadian conservative news outlet, True North, reported on an essay written by the daughter of Canada’s new prime minister for Yale University’s feminist magazine. The woman, Sophia Carney, who is now going by Sasha, is 24 years old, graduated from Yale two years ago, and stylizes herself as an activist and writer.

Yet Canada’s journalists are up in arms over True North’s revelations. They are refusing to report True North’s findings and are slamming those who even speak of them.

Why might that be? Why, of course, it’s because True North’s reporting, which discusses Sasha Carney’s (public) transgender identity, touches upon the topic of child “gender transitions.”

GOLDSTEIN: Liberal media jump on board ‘Team Carney’ campaign

Let’s begun by debunking the myth – aided and abetted by the liberal media – that Prime Minister Mark Carney killed carbon pricing on Friday through a cabinet decree.

The most egregious example of this was buried in a CBC report on Thursday that Carney was “once a proponent of carbon pricing” implying he no longer is, which is an example of media disinformation of the type CBC is constantly warning us about.

Why doesn’t Mark Carney have a gender-balanced cabinet? Because it’s 2025

New prime minister Mark Carney didn’t go out of his way to be a champion for women with his cabinet choices unveiled at Rideau Hall on Friday — and that could be a deliberate effort to walk back what critics called the “woke” feminist brand of Justin Trudeau.

It might also be a reflection of how Carney has been leaning on a team heavily weighted with male advisers, as many have observed since his leadership campaign launched.


The Star is already running damage control for Carney.

A similar Conservative cabinet would be described as a new Dark Age descending upon our blighted land.

It’s fortunate for Poilievre the Liberal media continues to overplay its hand with biased reporting.

Colby Cosh: A CBC head tax — the next big Liberal idea that no one asked for

On Thursday morning, the federal heritage minister, Pascale St-Onge, gave forth the outlines of her plan to reform the CBC and adapt it to the future. You might think such an exercise would involve asking questions about the CBC’s prior performance, or whether a state broadcaster is really necessary in the 21st century, or exactly what parts of it are essential.

Trudeau payroll rag Hill Times says Conservatives are Nazis

Hill Times commentary compares Conservative election to rise of Nazis

A Hill Times commentary has drawn sharp criticism after likening the potential election of a Conservative Parliament in 2025 to the rise of Nazi authoritarianism in 1930s Germany.

… “The next federal election will test the limits of our parliamentary democracy,” wrote contributor Erica Ifill in the commentary titled “Wilkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome.”


 

Erica Ifill – Lunatic

I know enough about Erica Ifill to state she is among the usual leftist lunatics employed by Canada’s subsidized media, as untalented as they come.

Hill Times can do better.

From The Star – A Paid Liberal Party Influencer Operation: Far-right influencers are weaponizing Canada as a warning to Americans!!!

Lauren Southern, aged 29, is nostalgic for the good old days.

In a 17-minute video posted by Tenet Media five months ago titled “My Home Town’s Been Destroyed,” the Canadian-born darling of certain far-right corners of the internet takes viewers to Surrey, B.C., illustrated by soaring drone shots of single family homes backdropped by the Fraser River. Mentally, Southern invites them back to the idyllic mid-1990s when, as she recalls, the famously diverse Vancouver suburb still had immigration, “but you know, we all spoke the language — generally integrated,” she says.

“There were still pockets you could live in, where it was a real community,” she says.


And she’s right. The Star, a paid Liberal Party influencer operation would rather drink poison than admit that of course. Really they’d rather you drink poison than admit they are the “Help” paid to peddle the vicious cons of the LPC.

MacDougall: Can local democracy survive the decline of local news?

If, as the great Joni Mitchell says, you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone, perhaps it’s time to appreciate the local news before it goes.

These words reach you thanks to the efforts of the small — yet mighty — engine that still powers the sole print-based daily newsroom in Canada’s capital. But how long such local messengers will continue to reach you is a real question, one that might be decided by the next federal election, where funding for journalism with be a point of debate between Justin Trudeau (who favours some) and Pierre Poilievre (who doesn’t).

HANNAFORD: It’s not Elon Musk who threatens Canadian news, it’s Trudeau

The random tweet of a Liberal MP does not, of course, represent Liberal government policy. But when Liberal Whitby MP Ryan Turnbull tweeted it was ‘scary’ that a ‘Poilievre-led government would end subsidies to mainstream media and defund the CBC,’ you can bet he is channeling Liberal water-cooler conversation.

‘You’re only sorry that you got caught’: CTV News exec grilled by MPs after two employees ‘terminated’ over edited Poilievre clip

The fallout from CTV News’ airing of an altered clip continues, as Bell Media Vice-President Richard Gray faced a barrage of questions from a House of Commons committee on Thursday.

The contention stems from an edited clip that aired on CTV News last month that misrepresented what Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre had said in the House of Commons, leading to a blanket Conservative boycott of the Bell Media-owned news network. After two CTV News employees were let go, and two public apologies from the broadcaster, Poilievre lifted his boycott last week.

Vivian Bercovici: On Oct. 7, terrorists invaded Israel — and their sympathizers took over Canadian streets

Every time I drive on Road 232, a main artery through southern Israel, I see phantoms.

Since moving to a kibbutz in southern Israel in July, Road 232 has become my lifeline, as it is for all residents of a region that is dotted with small towns and villages. This beautiful, pastoral area is where much of Israel’s fresh produce is grown.


And who are the guilty parties.

Canada’s decline is due to the machinations of a corrupt elite.

They are the people who encouraged mass Islamist immigration and surrendered our institutions to the radical liberal-left.

They called us racists and Islamophobes while flooding the nation with incompatible cultures which they in turn championed as equal or  better to our own. 

The made us poor by depressing wages and profiting from the shortages created by their mass immigration scheme.

They made laws to silence dissent and co-opted the news media to further their agenda.

They hate us. Once you accept that it all makes sense.

Liberals offer the worst possible reaction to CTV’s doctored Poilievre clip

CTV News made a seemingly necessary decision Thursday afternoon in the aftermath of one of the craziest Canadian network-journalism fiascos in recent memory: After an internal investigation, it says it discovered two video editors were involved in “altering a video clip” — which is to say doctoring, truncating and taking entirely out of context a quote from federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre about an urgent need to bring down the government.

CTV announced Thursday that it has now parted ways with those editors.
