CBC’s real estate portfolio valued at over $400M: documents

The CBC owns nearly half a billion dollars in real estate holdings, according to recently released documents, with more than two-thirds of the value comprised of its expansive downtown Toronto broadcasting centre.

A response to a May 2023 order paper question submitted by Conservative MP Adam Chambers about the government-owned broadcaster lists 12 corporation-owned properties across the country, a portfolio worth $444,414,469.

You could solve the homeless crisis with all that real estate.

The Pope is wrong to criticise Europe over the migrant crisis

Pope Francis spent the weekend in Marseille where he admonished Europe for their attitude towards migrants. Specifically, the Pontiff took to task those who used words such as ‘invasion’ and ‘emergency’ when discussing the millions of migrants who have arrived in Europe in the last decade. ‘Those who risk their lives at sea do not invade, they look for welcome,’ he pronounced. Those who said otherwise were ‘fuelling alarmist propaganda’ and acting contrary to the teaching of the Catholic church.

AOC claims reason she owns a Tesla and not a union made electric car is because ‘the vaccines weren’t ready’ during the pandemic

Viewers were left scratching their heads on Sunday morning as Democrat radical Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez explained why she still owns a Tesla despite claiming she planned to replace it with a union-made model.

The New York Congresswoman faced a backlash in 2021 when it emerged she had bought a $35,000 Model 3 from Elon Musk’s defiantly non-unionized company, despite several run-ins with the world’s richest man.

German media report on fake Jewish organizations

For centuries, Jews have debated what it means to be one. One thing all Jews can probably agree on is that a connection to extremists with antisemitic views and aims to overthrow the German republic is a disqualifier.

But that hasn’t stopped some from trying.

At least 10 associations calling themselves Jewish received official, nonprofit status, only to be revealed to have links to Germany’s “Reichsbürger” (literally, “citizens of the German Empire”) scene.

Death threats, Jordan Peterson and me: Charlie Angus Speaks Of His Harrowing Experience

Death threats, Jordan Peterson and me: My journey into the world of Pitchfork Politics

I recently crossed a Rubicon in my political career. For the first time in 23 years of public service, I asked the OPP to come to my office to help answer the phones. My phone was ringing off the hook with threats of violence against me, my staff and my family. The messages came from a wide variety of people who were deep in the rage hole of anti-vax and world government conspiracy. The threat of violence was explicit.

Welcome to Canadian political life in 2023. And it’s not just politicians who face the threat. The intimidation is being used to target all manner of public figures. This violent intimidation is on rise because right-wing extremists know they can get away with it.

Why foreign powers find it so easy to harass their exiles in Canada

TORONTO — When Mehmet Tohti heard Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announce that authorities were pursuing “credible allegations” that agents of the Indian government were involved in the murder of a Sikh separatist on Canadian soil, he was not surprised.

Tohti, the head of the Uyghur Rights Advocacy Project in Ottawa, said Trudeau’s bombshell comments in the House of Commons on Monday have revealed to the world what Canada’s diaspora communities have long warned about: The governments of their homelands routinely harass, intimidate and threaten them — at home, school and everywhere in between.

And Canadian authorities, they and others allege, have failed to take their claims seriously, offer protection or adequately counter the threat — one intelligence agencies here have warned is growing.
