While the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives warned last week that over 57,000 federal public service jobs could be cut between now and 2028 due to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s restraint measures – assuming they occur – the reality is that a downsizing of the federal civil service is long overdue.
During Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government from 2015 to 2024, the federal bureaucracy grew in size by 43%, from 257,034 employees to 367,772, an increase of 110,738.
Let’s see. You are a member of the NDP’s national organizing committee. Your party has just been creamed in a national election, reduced in the House of Commons to seven members out of 343 members. In fact, for the purposes of parliamentary proceedings, you’re not even a ‘recognized party’ any more.
Your last leader lost his seat (if not his pension) and has gone home to BC where Conservatives hope he will reincarnate himself as an advisor to BC’s NDP government…
At least 11 people were stabbed in a bloody scene inside a Michigan Walmart Saturday night — causing terrified shoppers and employees to flee — before a brave armed citizen helped detain the knife-wielding maniac, according to police, witnesses and harrowing video.
The terror unfolded around 5 p.m. when the alleged 42-year-old male attacker began randomly stabbing shoppers with a “standard” folding knife in various sections of the big-box chain store in Traverse City, about 255 miles northwest of Detroit, Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea said.

Covid vaccines saved far fewer lives than first thought, a major new analysis has concluded, with researchers criticising “aggressive mandates”.
Last year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) claimed jabs had prevented the deaths of 14.4 million people globally in the first year alone, with some estimates putting the figure closer to 20 million.
However, new modelling by Stanford University and Italian researchers suggests that while the vaccines did save lives, the true figure was “substantially more conservative” and closer to 2.5 million people worldwide over the course of the pandemic.
In his 1977 book The Break-Up of Britain, the socialist and Scottish nationalist writer Tom Nairn titled his chapter on the United Kingdom’s then-most restive province “Northern Ireland: Relic or Portent?” On this, as with so much else, Nairn may have been prescient. A year ago, it was natural to speculate on whether anti-migrant disturbances would become a feature of the English summer, as those deriving from the province’s traditional, and now largely ceremonial, ethnic conflict are in Northern Ireland. Today, it appears that “rioting season” has become England’s new routine. Rather than a freak occurrence, to be dealt with by harsh sentencing, the mixed protests and clashes in Epping, like the demonstrations in Diss and now Canary Wharf, still seem like only tremors before a greater earthquake. When Nigel Farage warned this week that “nobody in London understands how close we are to civil disobedience”, the response from Left-liberals, confused and frightened by a predictable course of events nevertheless incomprehensible to their worldview, was to cast him as a sort of English Ian Paisley, threatening violence at a safe remove for political gain.
Deborah Lyons, Canada’s recently retired envoy for combating antisemitism, this week lamented that the effort to shine a light on increasing antisemitism in Canada had left her “despondent and despairing about the fact that it was hard to get people to speak up, to speak with clarity, to speak with conviction about what we were seeing happening here on Canadian soil.”
Jewish communities have long known silence. At its worst, it has manifested in some communities as synagogue floors covered in sand to mask the sound of feet shuffling during silent prayers or by those hidden during the Holocaust to escape capture by the Nazis. In today’s Canada, silence comes in different ways. Some Jews quietly conceal their identity by refraining from displaying a Star of David or kippah, families remove mezzuzahs from their front doors to avoid telegraphing that it is a Jewish home, and the community avoids widespread promotion of events hosted in community centres due to security concerns.
“In fact, even political views on the founding of the State of Israel or expressions of support for Zionism, which as former prime minister Justin Trudeau noted “is the belief, at its simplest, that Jewish people, like all peoples, have the right to determine their own future” runs the risk of being labelled as “racist” in today’s educational environment, thereby silencing the perspectives.”
What about Canada? I am called a racist colonizer with no right to exist here and am labeled the APEX predator within the DEI/CRT hierarchy of evil solely because I have white skin.
How is it a prof has never heard of Islam or thought about the impact of Muslim immigration on current events?
Remember Media Matters?
The proto-censor of conservative media, founded by conservative turncoat David Brock in 2004, forerunner to the vast NGO empire of outlets such as NewsGuard, the Stanford Internet Observatory, the State Department’s Global Engagement Center, and the U.K.’s Centre for Global Resilience, and other self-proclaimed ‘fact checkers’ has found itself in hard times and on the rocks.
A lawsuit by vast majority of Dem states shows how bad the problem is.
In the flurry of lawfare aimed at blocking anything and everything that the Trump administration is doing, it’s easy to dismiss any single lawsuit as just more partisan legal obstructionism, but the lawsuit filed by 20 Democrat states against the Trump administration is a major admission.
The back-from-the-dead Law Commission of Canada is a distinctly Liberal institution that serves to churn out “independent and non-partisan” policy advice that coincidentally supports government priorities — or pulls them to the left. The genius in all this? It hides in plain sight.
Stephen Harper knew this very well, which is why in his first nine months in the prime minister’s office, he defunded it (and 66 other programs). The commission had existed since 1996, brought to life under Jean Chrétien, and was shuttered in 2006. Between those years, its projects covered child abuse in Canadian care, spousal rights and gay marriage, and lastly, electoral reform.
A Christian preacher of 25 years was arrested after reportedly asking a woman in a headscarf what she thought about Quran verses on domestic violence.
John Steele, 60, had been out in Rotherham town centre on June 21 when he engaged in a ’30-second conversation’ with the passerby at a public awareness stall.
But following the encounter he was detained by police and threatened with a ‘non-crime hate incident’ (NCHI).

With the summer now fully upon us and most people looking forward to a well-deserved holiday, the three words your average Metropolitan Police officer most dreads will start to appear in inboxes across the capital. Not ‘police officer redundancies,’ ‘more administrative forms’ or ‘mandatory diversity training.’ No, these words pale into insignificance compared to those which encapsulate the absolute cultural predicament that modern London and its police force have gotten themselves into—Notting. Hill. Carnival.

Prime Minister Carney has recently introduced a plan to bring in thousands of aging people from India.
He doesn’t explain why such a program could possibly be in the best interests of Canadians — why Canada would possibly want more elderly, retired people who will put even more stress on the medical system, social services and housing. No disrespect to India, or to those retirees, but we have plenty of elderly, retired people, and don’t need to import more.
OTTAWA — When Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab dropped by a church kids camp this summer, she came to pose for photos to highlight the funding that came from the Canada Summer Jobs program.
It might not have seemed unusual: members of Parliament have a hand in helping organizations in their riding get the summer-job subsidies in the first place. MPs get lists of organizations in their ridings that apply for the subsidy, and recommend who should get it.
The left is eating its plant-based self
This week Billie Eilish served up a reminder of the irritations of veganism. She forced the O2 to go fully plant-based during her six-night run of shows – and the Daily Mail reported that fans, who’d paid £70+ for a ticket to see her, were not happy about the food on offer at the arena. One said: ‘Punters were less than impressed with the vegan options – a mixture of pizzas, cauliflower bits and loaded fries – with more than one asking “Did they run out of meat or something?”.’
Remember the Canadian “Freedom Convoy” of truckers? Canada isn’t done overreacting. In early 2022 the disruptive protest of vaccine mandates sent the Trudeau government into a panic, unconstitutionally invoking emergency powers and freezing protesters’ bank accounts. Now Crown prosecutors want protest leaders in prison for the better part of a decade.
In April Tamara Lich and Chris Barber were convicted of mischief for their roles in the protests that police inexcusably allowed to block downtown Ottawa streets for three weeks. Prosecutors are seeking seven-year prison terms, plus an eighth year for Mr. Barber, who was also found guilty of counseling others to disobey a court order regarding the honking of horns. Both were found not guilty of intimidation and several other charges thrown at them over the peaceful but noisy protest.
