Canada’s Bill C-34 Would Require ID or Face Scan to Use Social Media

Canada’s Bill C-34 Would Require ID or Face Scan to Use Social Media

Canada’s long-anticipated and dreaded Bill C-34 arrived on June 10 with the usual fanfare about protecting children.

We obtained a copy of the bill for you here.

Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, tabled it.

Strip off the press release and what is left is a law that lets an appointed federal body order Canadians’ posts deleted across the country, decide which platforms can give an account to a 15-year-old, and tell AI chatbots to watch what you type.

DONOVAN: ‘Somali Heritage Month’ is the latest sign Canada lost its own identity

DONOVAN: ‘Somali Heritage Month’ is the latest sign Canada lost its own identity

On June 8, Liberal MP for Etobicoke Centre, Yvan Baker, introduced a private member’s bill to declare July of every year as “Somali Heritage Month.”

It should be noted that Toronto’s Etobicoke is home to a large, heavily concentrated Somali population. In June 2024, Baker gathered with “members and leaders of the Somali-Canadian community” to raise the Somali flag at City Hall to “celebrate Somalia’s Independence Day.”

Canadian mother sues OpenAI, alleging ChatGPT led her daughter to kill herself

Toronto cop’s murder comes after 2 1/2 years of festering hate and terror

Toronto cop’s murder comes after 2 1/2 years of festering hate and terror

This evil murder of a Toronto cop didn’t just come from out of the blue – it came as a result of rising crime in the city and was born out of world-wide terror.

“These are paid, foreign elements that are attacking our city and causing this kind of death in our city, to one of our police officers and way beyond random shootings at schools and synagogues,” City Councillor Mike Colle said Thursday.


From Carney on down they will do their best to whitewash this event as one-off non-terrorist event.

Just When You Thought the Platner Tattoo Scandal Couldn’t Get Worse…

Just When You Thought the Platner Tattoo Scandal Couldn’t Get Worse…

The fact that Graham Platner had a Nazi tattoo on his chest for nearly 20 years should have been disqualifying. Instead, all the enthusiasm from the Democrat Party base was for him, and he won the Maine Democrat Senate primary on Tuesday. He will now face incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) in the fall. At this point, Platner has managed to get away with the tattoo in part because the Democrat base is antisemitic anyway, but also because he’s claimed he had no idea what the tattoo meant.

Michigan Democrats push to ban Chinese EVs in Canada from crossing border — trade watchers call it a ‘fake problem’

Michigan Democrats push to ban Chinese EVs in Canada from crossing border — trade watchers call it a ‘fake problem’

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Chinese EVs may be coming to Canada, but they might not get you very far south.

Michigan Democrats don’t want them crossing the border. Senator Elissa Slotkin and Congresswoman Haley Stevens recently announced their proposed Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act, which aims to block Chinese connected vehicles from entering the U.S. through Mexico and Canada.


It’s not a “fake” problem if the legislation is signed into law.

Well Carney won’t ever have worry about driving his Chinese EV across the border so it’s all good.

Carney’s trade “deals” contingent on Canada’s access to the US market

OTTAWA – Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has captured global attention by championing the idea of an alliance of mid-level economic powers that would operate beyond President Donald Trump’s increasingly protectionist United States.

Yet Carney’s push to lessen dependence on the U.S. is colliding with a stubborn reality: access to American markets remains a crucial part of Canada’s appeal to prospective trading partners, according to interviews with a dozen government officials and business leaders.

Switzerland’s radical proposal on immigration: Cap the population

Switzerland’s radical proposal on immigration: Cap the population

ZUG, Switzerland—This Alpine nation has long relied on its geography to keep the world at bay. But with its valleys filling up, some here are pushing to replace natural barriers with something even more unyielding: a population cap.

Disgruntled by rising living costs and disillusioned by unfulfilled economic and social promises, the Swiss are at the vanguard of industrialized countries questioning the benefits of immigration, even the high-skilled workers many vie to attract. On Sunday, they will vote in a referendum to put a hard ceiling on the country’s population.

Since 2000, the number of foreign-born residents has jumped from around one in five to one in three—the second-highest level among rich countries next to tiny Luxembourg, and compared with one in six in the U.S. That represents an enormous demographic shift for a small, mountainous country.
