Former Vancouver Mayor Says CCP Likely Interfering in Upcoming BC Municipal Elections

Former Vancouver Mayor Says CCP Likely Interfering in Upcoming BC Municipal Elections

Former Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart says he believes interference by the Chinese regime is likely taking place ahead of the upcoming municipal elections.

Stewart, who led Vancouver from 2018 to 2022, says little has been done to prevent vulnerabilities that he says China exploited and which contributed to his 2022 re-election loss.

“I don’t think it’s resolved itself, and I’m sure there’s going to be interference in this election too, because nothing’s been done,” Stewart said in an Aug. 6 interview with political podcast host Aaron Pete.

TERRAZZANO: Canadians won’t tolerate Carney hiking gas taxes

TERRAZZANO: Canadians won’t tolerate Carney hiking gas taxes

Prime Minister Mark Carney needs to look at this poll and understand one simple thing: People will not accept a gas tax hike in September.

New polling shows 63% of Canadians oppose the federal government’s plan to hike fuel taxes next month.

Carney suspended the federal fuel tax in April to give Canadians a break at the pumps, saving 10 cents per litre of gas and 4 cents per litre of diesel.

Why Did Fauci Exaggerate the Threat From COVID-19?

Why Did Fauci Exaggerate the Threat From COVID-19?

On the eighth of February 2020, in a private note recounting a telephone call with the former CDC Director Tom Frieden, Anthony Fauci set the fatality rate of the new coronavirus at “more like 0.2 to 0.3% rather than 2.0%”. Thirty-two days later, under oath before Congress, he called that same virus 10 times deadlier than seasonal influenza, roughly 1%; four days after that, the states began ordering their citizens indoors. Those two numbers, and the 32 days that separate them, contain very nearly the whole catastrophe.

Jason Arday has exposed the fantastic stupidity of our intellectuals

Has there ever been a dumber clever person than Jolyon Maugham? For someone with a first-class Durham degree who reached the dizzying heights of King’s Counsel, he doesn’t half swallow a lot of bullshit. First he fell for trans-fabulism, becoming one of the noisiest acolytes of the delirious idea that you can have a cock and be a woman. Now he’s fallen for the alleged fabulism of Jason Arday, the disgraced ex-prof famous for his long hair and tall tales.

Afghan Refugees Don’t Stop Beating Women

Afghan Refugees Don’t Stop Beating Women

In Greece, Elisabeth-Jane Ross, a Scottish woman who had come to work with migrants, was murdered and had her body stuffed into a suitcase and left in an abandoned building by an Afghan refugee who had his own refugee charity. In Ireland, Jamey Carney, a 43-year-old woman from upstate New York, hooked up with a ‘Palestinian’ refugee she met at an anti-Israel rally and he beat her to death and then fled. In Norway, Maren Sømme, a 30-year-old woman, was killed by an Afghan refugee previously facing deportation for abusing another woman.

Americans hold Canadians in high esteem. The reverse, not so much

Americans hold Canadians in high esteem. The reverse, not so much

Despite all the trade-war rhetoric and “51st state” comments from the White House, Americans on the whole still have positive feelings toward their neighbours to the north. But from this side of the border, it’s a different picture.

A poll by Canada’s Angus Reid asked people from both countries about their perceptions of the other. It found that almost half of Canadians hold a negative view of Americans, with 29 per cent choosing “unfavourable” and another 19 per cent “very unfavourable.”

Migrants PARAGLIDE into Ceuta – with one killed after crashing into the sea – amid fears another ‘invasion’ has been planned

Migrants PARAGLIDE into Ceuta – with one killed after crashing into the sea – amid fears another ‘invasion’ has been planned

This is the moment a migrant paraglides into Europe from north Africa – a day after another died trying the same stunt.

Police were still searching for the sub-Saharan man today after he vanished shortly after landing at the Benzu viewpoint in Ceuta close to its land border with Morocco.

Spanish cops said today people smugglers charging migrants to make the risky air crossing were being given courses lasting just a few minutes instead of the 80 to 100 hours of training normally considered appropriate before risking their lives taking to the skies.

F-35 review part of ‘extremely complex’ negotiation as trade talks continues: McGuinty

F-35 review part of ‘extremely complex’ negotiation as trade talks continues: McGuinty

OTTAWA – Defence Minister David McGuinty has acknowledged that the procurement review of F-35 fighter jets is a “point of debate or dialog” as tense trade negotiations with the United States continue.

When asked by reporters in Ottawa on Monday about whether the F-35 decision is part of the trade war, McGuinty said that “acquisition of that size would normally be a point of debate or dialog between two sovereign nations.”

“This is not the only factor involved in a multi-party, multi-element, multi-stakeholder type of negotiation. This negotiation with the United States is extremely complex,” he added.


When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union the Wehrmacht had in use trucks from virtually every nation they had conquered.

Few were suitable for “Russian Roads” and repair was a logistical nightmare.

I fear our air force of many nations will be just like that.

MACLEOD: Beyond reform — why Alberta must choose independence over centralized Laurentian rule

MACLEOD: Beyond reform — why Alberta must choose independence over centralized Laurentian rule

Matt Ridley recently argued that the defining political struggle of our age is no longer simply Left against Right. It is top-down control against bottom-up freedom. Government should protect rights, enforce contracts, and set fair rules. It should also possess enough humility to let people solve their own problems.

That argument could have been written for Alberta.
