In Conservative Conference in Globalist Belgium, Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán Torches EU Leadership, Calls for Change, Says Ukraine ‘Not a Sovereign State Anymore’

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/conservative-conference-globalist-belgium-hungarian-pm-viktor-orban/

There’s really no surprise in learning that Belgium’s government has gone full authoritarian by repeatedly targeting a Conservative conference taking place in Brussels, going as far as shutting down a day of events with a ridiculous excuse in the middle of UK’s Nigel Farage’s speech.

But as the old Arabic saying goes: ‘the dogs bark, the Caravan goes on’. In the run-up to a most relevant European Election cycle in recent times, the National Conservative Conference moved to its THIRD venue, and hosted as keynote speaker none other than conservative champion Viktor Orbán, long-serving Prime Minister of Hungary.

Orbán urged voters to reject mainstream political parties in the upcoming EU elections for their failure of leadership.

He also said Ukraine must never be allowed to join the either EU bloc or NATO. Continue...

US Submits 'Assurances' To UK Govt Over Assange Extradition

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/us-submits-assurances-uk-govt-over-assange-extradition

The United States Embassy on Tuesday filed two assurances with the British Foreign Office saying it would not seek the death penalty against imprisoned WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange and would allow Assange “the ability to raise and seek to reply upon at trial … the rights and protections given under the First Amendment,” according to the U.S. diplomatic note.

Assange’s wife Stella Assange said the note “makes no undertaking to withdraw the prosecution’s previous assertion that Julian has no First Amendment rights because he is not a U.S citizen. Instead,” she said, “the US has limited itself to blatant weasel words claiming that Julian can ‘seek to raise’ the First Amendment if extradited.”

The note contains a hollow statement, namely, that Assange can try to raise the First Amendment at trial (and at sentencing), but the U.S. Department of Justice can’t guarantee he would get those rights, which is precisely what it must do under British extradition law based on the European Convention on Human Rights.

Georgia 4th graders shown video about dog who thinks he's a cat to promote LGBTQ lifestyles: report

https://thepostmillennial.com/georgia-4th-graders-shown-video-about-dog-who-thinks-hes-a-cat-to-promote-lgbtq-lifestyles

The videos paid for by Canada's Trudeau government to help teachers indoctrinate students into gender ideology and adult sexual lifestyles have made their way down to Georgia.

A 4th grade class at a Georgia elementary school was reportedly shown an episode of a children's show in which a dog believed himself to be a cat, and the other playground animals were encouraged to go along with the creature's delusion. Libs of TikTok shared the video to X, saying that it was shown to students.

The group that made the video encourages LGBTQ activism for students, promotes Pride parades and festivals for kids, and has brought their programming to libraries to do live shows for children. The shows were created in 2017 and are apparently still in circulation in schools. That was part of the plan. When they were made, an organizer of the project said that the local Thames Valley District School Board would make use of them.

"Teachers can use them to support the start of a conversation in their classroom and they're a free resource for families," said organizer Paula Jesty. Now, the videos paid for by Canada's Trudeau government to help teachers indoctrinate students into gender ideology and adult sexual lifestyles have made their way down to Georgia. Continue...

Trudeau Government budgets $36 million to compensate (safe) vaccine-injured Canadians

https://thecountersignal.com/trudeau-government-budgets-36-million-to-compensate-safe-vaccine-injured-canadians/

The Trudeau Liberals 2024 budget includes a projected $36 million over just the next two years that will compensate Canadians who take vaccines that Health Canada deems safe — but get injured anyway.

The feds introduced Canada’s first ever vaccine compensation program in 2020, just before they coerced vaccines into Canadians by threatening their livelihoods, jobs, and EI.

$19 million is budgeted for 2024 and another $17 million for 2025, as per the budget that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland introduced earlier this week.

As reported earlier – A massive explosion was reported near Isfahan, Iran today. Isfahan is considered to be the primary location of the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

This was not the first time the Isfahan nuclear facility was targeted.

UPDATE: Via ABC News – Iranian state television says nuclear facilities near Isfahan ‘fully safe’ after air defense batteries fired in area.

By Friday morning the Iranian regime was pushing their own narrative that the attack was a failure and everything was back to normal.

Then this happened– A Biden administration official blamed Israel for the attack. Why would the Biden regime do that?

The world is getting more dangerous by the day, there is no doubt about it. But what is also skyrocketing is the alarmism against Russian infiltration, sabotage, and even assassination plots.

While there is no denying that Russians do infiltrate every country they can, friend or foe, and I would not put it past them (or anyone else) to engage in sabotage or assassinations, the uptick happening now makes no sense.

The Russian Federation’s forces are about to win the war, so why would they suddenly engage in asymmetric tactics at this point?

At this point, simultaneous accusations are being made in Poland, Germany, and other nations. Continue...

https://tnc.news/2024/04/19/open-letter-to-feds-opposing-capital-gains/

A tech uprising is stirring in opposition to the Liberal government’s capital gains tax hike.

Over 1000 Canadian CEOs and tech leaders have signed an open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, urging them to reconsider the proposed increases to capital gains taxes outlined in the 2024 federal budget.

It started with 150 signatures but the list of those putting their name to it has ballooned in just a couple of days.

The letter, linked in a post to X by the Council of Canadian Innovators, called for more CEOs and tech leaders to add their names as signatories.

“You cannot tax your way to prosperity. But in the 2024 federal budget, we see a government trying to hike taxes on investment. Anybody with experience in entrepreneurship and investment can see how this will stifle growth,” reads the letter. Continue...

Lack of judges leads to man with repeat human trafficking charges walking free

https://tnc.news/2024/04/19/lack-judges-lhuman-trafficking-walking-free/

A lack of judges has led to a man having his human trafficking charges thrown out due to delays at Toronto Superior Court for the second time this year.

According to the Toronto Star, Superior Court Justice Michael Code called the federal government’s failure to appoint enough judges an “embarrassment to the administration of justice.”

Marlon Downey’s first case of human trafficking was tossed out in January due to delays and now so has a second case involving a different complainant.

According to the Supreme Court, cases in Superior Court must be heard within 30 months or else be tossed out for violating the accused person’s constitutional right to a trial within a reasonable time.

Other cases which were tossed out due to a shortage of judges include charges of child sexual abuse, gun possession linked to a fatal shooting, assault and sexual assault.

Downey’s second case was tossed by Superior Court Justice Jennifer Penman on Monday, who in her decision said that “the most significant contributing factor to the overall delay in this case was a systemic lack of judicial resources.” Continue...

“Canadians are less safe under this government”: Conservatives pin rising crime on Trudeau

https://tnc.news/2024/04/19/canadians-are-less-safe-government-trudeau/

As Canadian crime stats “skyrocket” year-over-year, the Liberal government’s approach to crime has “demonstrably failed” and is making Canadians less safe, the Conservatives claim.

Rob Moore, the Conservative shadow minister, told True North in an interview Wednesday that Canadians feel less safe than they did before Justin Trudeau.

“When people are feeling less safe, it’s because Canadians are less safe under this government,” he said.

“These (stats) are the result of deliberate actions taken by the government in legislation that have created a catch and release (system), which means that in spite of the best work of police to capture someone, our justice system is releasing those individuals back onto the street to re-offend.”

Since Justin Trudeau took office in 2015, violent crime has increased across Canada by almost 40%, homicides are up by 43% and gang-related murders are up by 108%, according to Stats Canada data from 2022.

Despite Trudeau’s gun bans, violent gun crime is up by 101% since he took office. There has been a year-over-year increase in crime for the last four years.

According to a Leger poll in Apr. 2023, 32% of Canadians said crime and violence had gotten much worse since before the pandemic, while another 32% said it had gotten “a little worse.” Continue...

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/maxime-bernier-says-its-astounding-alberta-is-pushing-covid-boosters-tells-danielle-smith-to-stop-it/

The People's Party of Canada leader tells the Alberta government: 'It’s over! Get over it!'

People’s Party of Canada (PPC) leader Maxime Bernier said Alberta Premier Danielle Smith should tell provincial health bureaucrats to “back off” and stop “pushing” the mRNA COVID boosters on “anyone,” considering a recent announcement from health officials recommending yet more COVID shots.

“I find it astounding that Alberta public health bureaucrats are still pushing the mRNA boosters on anyone, and especially on children who have never been at risk, almost two years after almost all other pandemic measures have been ended,” Bernier told LifeSiteNews.

“Danielle Smith’s government should tell its bureaucrats to back off and stop stupidly feeding a needless sense of fear surrounding the virus that lingers among certain groups of society. It’s over! Get over it!”

Earlier this week, officials from Alberta Health Services (AHS), whose chief medical officer throughout the COVID crisis, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, was fired by Smith in 2022, updated its COVID booster recommendations to every “three months” starting at babies only six months old.

“Starting April 15, 2024, select groups of Albertans at high risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 will be eligible for an additional dose,” the AHS noted on its website.

AHS health officials still assert that all “vaccines are safe, effective and save lives,” and that one can get a COVID shot at the same time as a flu vaccine.

On April 16, Bernier commented on the AHS’s new COVID jab guideline changes on X, in which he asked, “What’s going on in Alberta with their “conservative” government? Continue...

NATO ‘one step away’ from sending troops to Ukraine – Orban

https://www.rt.com/news/596279-nato-step-away-troops-ukraine/

The conflict could drag Europe “into its depths,” the Hungarian prime minister has warned

The leaders of the EU and NATO are potentially ready to deploy forces to Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban claimed on Friday. Brussels sees the conflict between Moscow and Kiev as its “own” and is failing to consider the risks arising from its ever-deeper involvement, he warned.

The mood of EU leaders is “one of war,” Orban told a gathering of his Fidesz Party ahead of the EU Parliament elections. “There is a pro-war majority in Brussels today,” he said, adding that the bloc’s politics “are dominated by the logic of war.” EU politicians are already so invested in the conflict that they fail to see the flaws in their strategy, the prime minister argued.

Despite all the “money and weapons, the situation is not improving [for Kiev], in fact, it is getting worse… We are one step away from the West sending troops to Ukraine,” Orban warned. “This is a vortex of war that can drag Europe into its depths. Brussels is playing with fire.” Continue...

In a press release on Friday, the World Health Organization reported that the H5N1 bird flu virus had been detected in high concentrations in raw milk from infected mammals.

The report comes a month after the Texas Department of State Health Services confirmed the first human case of H5N1.

During the press briefing in Geneva, Wenqing Zhang, WHO’s head of the global influenza program, said that H5N1 has been detected in raw milk from infected mammals.

Wenqing Zhang, WHO’s head of the global influenza program, stated, “Bird-to-cow, cow-to-cow, transmissions have been registered during these current outbreaks, which suggests cow-to-bird tra that the virus may have found other routes of transition than we previously understood.”

Zhang continued to share that the virus was discovered in “very high virus concentration in raw milk” that was not pasteurized.

There was never much doubt that in a military confrontation between Russia and Ukraine, those whom President Donald Trump called a ‘war machine’ (Russians) would prevail.

Sure enough, once an unprecedented alliance of Western powers sent countless billions in money and military aid, the calculations had to be remade – but it soon became apparent that, while this help would considerably delay the outcome, it would not fundamentally change it.

While the Mainstream Media spent two full years lying and engaging in wishful thinking disguised as analysis, they now have to give in to the reality of facts as Russian troops ramp up pressure on the outgunned and outmaneuvered Ukrainian forces.

Moscow is reportedly preparing to conquer more territory as soon as the muddy tundra fields dry out and ‘allow tanks, armored vehicles and other heavy equipment to roll to key positions across the countryside.’ Continue...

CBSA memo says high-risk foreign nationals may be released due to lack of space

https://tnc.news/2024/04/19/cbsa-foreign-nationals-released-lack-space/

Foreign nationals deemed to be high-risk by the Canada Border Services Agency may soon be set free due to a lack of space at detention centres.

The CBSA has been retrofitting its Laval, QC detention centre to create more space for high-risk detainees, however prolonged delays may force the agency to release some foreign nationals who are considered both a threat to public safety and a flight risk.

In an internal memo sent out by the National Detention Contingency Task Force on March 20, the task force explains how these delays may surpass its ability to detain dangerous persons as several provincial holding contracts are set to expire.

In June, Ontario and Quebec are scheduled to join seven other provinces in no longer housing high risk detainees facing deportation. Newfoundland and Labrador also announced that it’s ending its contract with the CBSA in 2025.

Provinces are required to give one year’s notice before cancelling their detainee contracts which Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland have already done.

Alberta gave its notice in 2020, giving the Trudeau government ample time to find a solution to this problem.

The Trudeau government was notified by Alberta that it would cease taking immigration detainees in 2020, and the latest provinces also provided the federal government with one year’s notice prior to cancelling their contracts. Continue...

Pharmacists propose class action lawsuit against Shoppers Drug Mart over “risk of causing patient harm”

https://thecountersignal.com/pharmacists-propose-lawsuit-against-shoppers-drug-mart/

Franchise owners claim they were placed in situations that caused an “irredeemable conflict of interest” after the company Loblaws acquired Shoppers Drug Mart in 2014.

Previous and current franchise owners proposed a class action lawsuit against Shoppers Drug Mart for “risks to patient safety” and “risk of causing patient harm.”

Pharmacists propose class action lawsuit against Shoppers Drug Mart over “risk of causing patient harm”

The uncertified lawsuit was filed on April 11 at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice by Toronto-based law firm Ricketts Harris LLP.

The franchise owners claim they were placed in situations that caused an “irredeemable conflict of interest” after the company Loblaws acquired Shoppers Drug Mart in 2014.

Loblaws allegedly created “risks to patient safety and pose a significant risk of causing patient harm,” according to a statement of claim.

The practices named in the suit include medication reviews, along with vaccinations, illness diagnoses, and prescriptions.

Pharmacist terminated for speaking out

The claim additionally states that Shoppers Drug Mart has terminated contracts with pharmacists who questioned the alleged unsafe practices and “breached key obligations.”

Sivajana Sivapalan, a pharmacist leading the lawsuit, said he was terminated without reason from Shoppers Drug Mart in 2023 after expressing concerns in regards to their business decisions.

Sivapalan has been running their pharmacy for 12 years, working in Beamsville, Ontario, since 2011.

Franchise owners say that despite communicating concern, Loblaws has taken “little to no action” to address the issues.

The Ontario College of Pharmacists

After a meeting with the Ontario College of Pharmacists (OCP) on March 25, they announced a “zero tolerance” for business practices that will prevent the “ability to deliver effective care” to patients.

The OCP claimed to hear from “thousands” of pharmacists concerning unsafe practices involving patients and stated in a news release they found “inappropriate pressure” to conduct medication reviews “deeply troubling.”

“The College will consider every tool available to us to address those concerns,” they added.

Loblaws has spoken out regarding the proposed suit, saying the case has “no merit whatsoever” and the company will “vigorously defend” itself.

Bloomberg Columnist Declares Opposition to Lab-Grown Meat to Be “Conservative Cultural Insecurity”

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/bloomberg-columnist-declares-opposition-lab-grown-meat-be/

Attacks on the cattle ranching industry have been ramping up for the last couple of years. The powers-that-be want to reduce and eventually eliminate beef from cows that were born in a pen and raised in a pasture, replacing them with “meat” that was made in a petri dish.

Recently, they’ve been attacking beef from a new front: political ideology. Apparently, anyone who is opposed to lab-grown beef must be part of the vast right-wing conspiracy against progress.

An article in Bloomberg declared as much with opinion columnist Tyler Cowen offering his new theory: Continue...

No evidence extreme weather events are on the rise despite activist claims: study

https://tnc.news/2024/04/21/no-evidence-extreme-weather-study/

A Fraser Institute study found that although global temperatures have increased “moderately” since 1950, there is no evidence to suggest that extreme weather events are on the rise despite the assertions of climate activists and Canada’s government.

The study analyzed data found in the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN IPCC) and found that in many cases the frequency and severity of extreme weather events decreased or stayed the same rather than escalating.

The author of the study, Kenneth Green, a senior fellow at the Fraser Institute spoke to True North about his findings.

Green has a doctoral degree in Environmental Science and Engineering from UCLA, and has been studying environmental policy since before receiving his doctorate in 1984.

“When you dig into the actual underlying data on what’s happening, rather than the claims of politicians, you find that extreme weather events are pretty uncertain as to whether we’re seeing extreme weather changing or will see extreme weather changing,” said Green.

He said the assessments from the UN IPCC authors are subjective and contradict the data found in their own study. Continue...

Grain farmers reduced emission intensity by 50% over 20 years

https://tnc.news/2024/04/21/grain-farmers-reduced-emission/

Even before the Liberal government introduced its fertilizer emission reduction target, Canadian grain farmers were leading the way in reducing agricultural emissions.

According to the Grain Growers of Canada, between 1997 and 2017, grain farmers surpassed the entire economy in reducing emission intensity. Emission intensity measures a farmer’s emission output relative to the production of a single bushel.

Over that period, grain farmers reduced their emission intensity by 50%, while the entire Canadian economy saw a 36% reduction.

“For decades, grain farmers have been at the forefront of sustainability, making Canada a global leader in producing grain with the lowest emissions possible,” said the advocacy group’s vice-chair, William van Tassel.

“Yet, boosting our competitiveness and commitment to emission reductions demands a significant increase in research and development investments. These investments are essential for overcoming current obstacles and leveraging future opportunities.”

Although the Liberal government has called grain growers the world’s worst emission offenders, more research is coming out that disproves that claim. Continue...

Western advisers are stationed at embassies, the head of the US-led bloc has said

NATO member states have military advisers stationed at their embassies in Ukraine, Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has told MSNBC News.

In an interview on Sunday, Stoltenberg was asked whether the US-led bloc is planning to send additional personnel to help Kiev in its fight against Russia.

“There are no plans for any NATO combat presence in Ukraine. But, of course, several NATO allies have men and women in uniform at the embassies giving advice,” he said.

The comments came after Pentagon spokesman Major General Pat Ryder told Politico that the US is considering deploying more advisers to its embassy in Kiev. According to the outlet, the personnel could be tasked with handling logistics and helping with the maintenance of US-supplied weapons systems. Continue...

“We’re going to change the way homes are built in Canada. And we’re going to create a new generation of homeowners,” said Trudeau.

Maxime Bernier warned LifeSiteNews that if 'the idea of a global corporate tax becomes normalized, we may eventually see other agreements to impose other taxes, on carbon, airfare, or who knows what.'

People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier has warned that the Liberal government’s push for World Economic Forum (WEF) “Global Tax” scheme should concern Canadians.

According to Canada’s 2024 Budget, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is working to pass the WEF’s Global Minimum Tax Act which will mandate that multinational companies pay a minimum tax rate of 15 percent.

“Canadians should be very concerned, for several reasons,” People’s Party leader Maxime Bernier told LifeSiteNews, in response to the proposal.

“First, the WEF is a globalist institution that actively campaigns for the establishment of a world government and for the adoption of socialist, authoritarian, and reactionary anti-growth policies across the world,” he explained. “Any proposal they make is very likely not in the interest of Canadians.” Continue...

https://thecountersignal.com/liberals-want-to-ban-calling-trudeau-corrupt/

Liberal MP Mark Gerretsen has proposed banning calling Justin Trudeau corrupt to “improve decorum” in the House of Commons.

Free speech isn’t doing too well in Canada. On Friday, in response to PM Justin Trudeau and his government being called ‘corrupt’ repeatedly over their many, many scandals and ethics violations, rather than reflecting on the state of their party and the activities they engage in, Liberal MP and Deputy House Leader Mark Gerretsen instead asked the Speaker of the House to consider a ban on the word.

“My point is that, today, during question period, the member for Regina—Wascana referred to the Prime Minister as “corrupt” and to the government as “corrupt”. Although he did it today, it has been done a number of times in the House. I would say that terminology specifically goes against Standing Order 18,” Gerretsen said.

At this point, Gerretsen was interrupted, with Conservatives yelling debate—an offer which Gerretsen rejected.

Campaign Life Coalition warned LifeSiteNews that the 'dissident TCDSB trustee, Markus de Domenico, has launched a subversive strategy' to dissuade the board from supporting fellow trustee Del Grande's truly pro-life motion.

Campaign Life Coalition has accused Toronto Catholic District School Board Vice-Chair Markus de Domenico of using “subversive” tactics to discourage trustees from supporting a fellow member’s pro-life motion up for vote Tuesday.

“The dissident TCDSB Trustee, Markus de Domenico, has launched a subversive strategy to dissuade trustees from voting in favour of Del Grande’s pro-life flag motion on Tuesday, April 23rd,” Jack Fonseca, CLC’s Director of Political Operations, told LifeSiteNews.

Questions on ‘gender diversity,’ unconventional relationships to appear on 2026 Canadian census

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/questions-on-gender-diversity-unconventional-relationships-to-appear-on-2026-canadian-census/

Rewriting 'family dynamics' will be one of the most prominent changes for the 2026 census, according to Statistics Canada.

Canada’s next federal census appears to be going woke in the latest attack on the traditional family model after Statistics Canada confirmed it will include a first-ever series of new questions relating to “gender diversity” that includes questions about “couple relationships” outside of marriage or even common-law relationships.

According to Statistics Canada, rewriting “family dynamics” will be one of the most prominent changes for the 2026 census.

Of note is that Statistics Canada had previously put in place questions about one’s “sex at birth” and so-called sexual “orientation.” The purpose was to “fill information gaps on gender diverse Canadians,” it said.

The changes were revealed in a report titled 2026 Census of Population Content Consultation Report: What We Heard from Canadians. The report notes that Statistics Canada is “continually exploring new data sets and assessing their suitability to help supplement or replace content on the Census of Population.” Continue...

NATO's Never-Ending War: The 75-Year-Old Bully Is Faltering

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/natos-never-ending-war-75-year-old-bully-faltering

The western discourse on the circumstances behind the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), 75 years ago, is hardly convincing.

Yet, that over-simplified discourse must be examined in order for the current decline of the organization to be appreciated beyond the self-serving politics of NATO’s members.

The history records page of the US State Department speaks of the invention of NATO in a language suitable for a US high school history book.

“After the destruction of the Second World War, the nations of Europe struggled to rebuild their economies and ensure their security,” it reads, which compelled the US to take action: “(integrating) Europe as vital to the prevention of communist expansion across the continent.”

This is the typical logic of NATO’s early doctrine. It can be gleaned from most of the statements made by Western countries that established and continue to dominate the organization.

The language oscillates between a friendly discourse – for example, Harry Truman’s reference to NATO as a ‘neighborly act’ – and a threatening one, also Truman’s tough language against “those who might foster the criminal idea of having recourse to war.”

The reality, however, remains vastly different. Continue...

https://tnc.news/2024/04/22/singh-spreads-false-claim-poilievre/

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has been spreading a false claim that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre wants to allow polluters to dump toxic waste into Canadian waters.

Singh uttered the claim on multiple occasions last week, insisting to Canadians that Poilievre “thinks it’s okay to dump toxic waste into rivers.”

The NDP leader first made the erroneous statement while speaking to reporters at the 2024 Progress Summit. The conference is run by the Broadbent Institute, which has close ties to the federal NDP.

“(He) has spent a lot of time making it very clear that Pierre Poilievre’s approach is to have no climate plan and really his plan is to let big polluters dump toxic waste into our rivers without any regulations,” said Singh on Apr. 11.

“That’s what’s going to happen, cloud our air, pollute the land and I think that is absolutely wrong.”

As the City of Ottawa asks the Liberal government for an additional $32 million to house the growing surge of asylum seekers, new data shows half of the capital’s homeless shelters are occupied by new immigrants and refugee claimants.

In response to an inquiry by Coun. Allan Hubley, city officials revealed that as of Dec. 31, 2023, 47% of single adults in Ottawa’s homeless shelters were newcomers to Canada.

“In 2023, Ottawa experienced unprecedented highs in the number of newcomers accessing our housing and homelessness support system,” the response reads.

“As a result, the system is operating far above capacity creating resourcing issues impacting the ability to provide adequate services to integrate these newcomers into the community. The City is not funded for newcomer service delivery and therefore continues to rely on hotels, motels, post-secondary residences, and temporary COVID-era facilities to meet the excess demand.” Continue...

https://tnc.news/2024/04/23/bc-law-minority-only/

A British Columbia NDP MLA is trying to get taxpayers to fund a no-whites-allowed committee to “eliminate systemic racism.”

MLA Niki Sharma has proposed the creation of a “racialized” committee under Bill 23, the Anti-Racism Act. If passed, the committee would create a framework for the province to combat racism.

All members of the Provincial Committee on Anti-Racism, under the bill, would have to be “racialized” and “have expertise in working to eliminate systemic racism and advance racial equity.”

Taxpayers will fund their work and will reimburse the racially exclusive committee for “reasonable” travel and out of pocket expenses.

The committee would have at least two individuals who represent organizations which support “racialized individuals or communities,” two who have “expertise in systems thinking theory and practice,” and two who have experience in the development and delivery of anti-racism training curricula.

If passed, Bill 23 will make the provincial government create an anti-racism action plan in collaboration with this committee which is meant to root out “systemic racism and systemic racism specific to indigenous people,” all while advancing racial equity.

The bill repeatedly distinguishes systemic racism from systemic racism specific to indigenous peoples, which they are working towards eliminating too. Continue...

The Trudeau government’s gun buyback program hit another roadblock as Canada Post has refused to take up the task of collecting the firearms prohibited by the Liberals’ sweeping ban in 2020.

Government sources told Radio-Canada that the feds expected Canada Post to be involved in the collection of the 144,000 now-banned “assault” and “military-style” firearms, as the crown corporation is already responsible for delivering guns purchased by Canadians online.

However, Canada Post is declining to do so, saying in a recent letter to Ottawa that it is concerned for the safety of its employees, who would have to be the ones out knocking on doors.

Canada Post is worried about potential conflicts between staff and gun owners who are frustrated with the confiscation of something they purchased and owned legally. Continue...

Two former United Nations employees in Montreal have been charged by the RCMP for their alleged involvement in a conspiracy to sell military equipment, including Chinese-made drones, to Libya in violation of sanctions.

According to the RCMP, 61-year-old Fathi Ahmed Mhaouek, who resided in the Sainte-Catherine suburb of Montreal, has been arrested and is expected to appear in a Montreal court on Tuesday.

“It is alleged that Mhaouek conspired to facilitate purchases of Libyan oil between prohibited entities and the People’s Republic of China contrary to the United Nations Act,” reads an RCMP statement.

His alleged accomplice, 27-year-old Mahmud Mohamed Elsuwaye, remains a fugitive with Interpol issuing a global alert to track him down.

The RCMP say both men were employed by the International Civil Aviation Organization, a UN agency with its headquarters located in Montreal, when the alleged conspiracy occurred.

Economic inequality in Canada has reached the biggest gap between the richest and poorest households since 2015.

Calgary judge greenlights class-action lawsuit against Catholic priest over comments on residential schools

https://www.rebelnews.com/calgary_judge_greenlights_class_action_lawsuit_against_catholic_priest_over_comments_on_residential_schools

Rev. Marcin Mironiuk described the alleged discovery of unmarked graves as 'lies' and 'manipulation,' and said that Indigenous children in residential schools died of natural causes.

A Calgary judge struck down a motion to dismiss a case against a priest and entities associated with the Catholic Church, related to comments made about residential schools and their survivors.

The plaintiff in the proposed lawsuit is Sphenia Jones, 79, who attended the Edmonton Indian Residential School in the 1950s.

Jones is an elder of the Haida Nation in British Columbia. The lawsuit names Rev. Marcin Mironiuk as the defendant and accuses him of making defamatory statements about residential school survivors, The Globe and Mail reports.

She also accuses Mironiuk of causing harm to survivors' reputations by denying reports of unmarked graves. Continue...

Foreign students are abusing asylum claims to stay in Canada

https://thecountersignal.com/foreign-students-abuse-asylum-claims-to-stay-in-canada/

The number of foreign students claiming asylum in Canada has shot up over 15 times in just 5 years, a clear indication of abuse of the system to stay in the country.

According to numbers acquired by The Globe and Mail from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, asylum claims by international students have risen from 1,515 in 2018 to 25,465 in 2023.

At colleges specifically, asylum claims have risen at an even more dramatic rate, over 4,000% (i.e., over 40 times).

While some claims seem more legitimate, such as those from Haitian students (coming from a country that has been taken over by gangs), most claims have come from the huge surge of Indian students whose student permits are starting to expire.

The Trudeau government has been under increasing pressure as of late due to the surge in temporary residents, specifically temporary workers and international students, who now make up 7.5% of the Canadian population compared to 2% in 2017. Continue...

The world is a complex place, in which you may find a socialist Latin American strong man locking arms with one of the most powerful capitalist (and Globalist) families in the world.

Right now, the diplomatic and commercial relations between the US and Venezuela are at a very low point, after the US re-imposed sanctions on the oil and gas industries.

The clueless Joe Biden administration tried to engage dictator Nicolas Maduro, but his utter failure to live up to his promises – to hold a fair Presidential election – have made the return of the sanctions inevitable.

Venezuelans are set to vote on July 28 in a rigged election that will pit Maduro against the opposition candidate, ambassador Edmundo Gonzalez.

Now, Venezuela’s government has hired Rothschild & Co. as a ‘financial adviser’ to provide an overview of its foreign debt obligations.

Trudeau flip-flops on carbon tax rebate

https://thecountersignal.com/trudeau-flip-flops-on-carbon-tax-rebate/

After the federal Liberals said that Saskatchewanians would not be entitled to the carbon tax rebate, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has reversed course, saying that they will indeed get the full pop — just as much as other provinces — despite paying less in carbon taxes.

Trudeau flip-flops on carbon tax rebate

The flip-flop comes after Trudeau’s Natural Resources Minister, Jonathan Wilkinson said that residents “will no longer get the rebate” in November.

Wilkinson’s threat came after Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe decided he would stop charging the federal carbon levy on natural gas for home heating effective January 1, 2024.

But now the Prime Minister said that Saskatchewan residents will get the full rebate, and falsely stated that his party always had that position.

Asked by a reporter on Wednesday, “Why have you now changed your position, and what does this mean for other provinces who also refused to collect?” the Prime Minister responded, “First of all, there’s been no change in position.”

Trudeau further threatened Moe with legal trouble

“I don’t know about you, but having an argument with CRA about not wanting to pay your taxes is not a position I want anyone to be in. Good luck with that Premier,” Trudeau said.

The feds have been irate with Premier Moe for knee-capping their federal carbon tax, with Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland also suggesting in November that it’s possible Premier Moe will get criminally charged.

“What can the federal government do to prevent [Moe] from acting unilaterally?” a reporter asked Freeland. “Will he, will the province, will anyone, incur penalties? Will there be fees? Or perhaps even jail time?” a reporter asked Freeland.

Freeland responded, “The federal government expects everyone in Canada to obey the law. Canada is a country of good peace, order, and good government. I think that is something all Canadians believe in. That’s something we expect.”

During the announcement of $5 billion in government incentives for a new Honda EV assembly plant in Ontario, Trudeau lashed out at Conservatives for criticizing his rampant spending.

Trudeau lashes out at Conservatives for wanting to balance the budget

“Yes, there are politicians who sit back and say, ‘No, no, no, no. We’ve got to balance the budget at all costs even if it means not investing in Canadian workers and investing in the future. Well, I think they’re wrong,” Trudeau said of Conservatives at a press conference.

“And that’s part of the choice Canadians get to make over the coming year and a half when we get to a federal election. Are we a confident country that invests in ourselves, in our workers, in our future, or do we sit back and say, alright, we’ll let Canadians sort themselves out.”

Based on Trudeau’s current approval rating, I think it’s safe to say Canadians would very much prefer the latter to more of Trudeau’s ‘help’. Nonetheless, Trudeau continued, saying that Canada (the federal government) must make “deliberate investments in the future”.

World’s Chocolate Supply Under Threat By Virus, Researchers Call for Cacao Trees To Be Vaccinated

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/worlds-chocolate-supply-under-threat-virus-researchers-call/

Cacao trees in West Africa, where 50% of the world’s chocolate originates, are currently under threat by a virus that may jeopardize the global supply of chocolate.

In a new scientific study, researchers from the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana and the University of Kansas, Prairie View A&M, reported that the cacao swollen shoot virus disease (CSSVD), caused by tiny insects called mealybugs, has endangered cacao trees in the Ivory Coast and Ghana.

Harvests in the Ivory Coast and Ghana have been cut by 15% to 50% since the virus has wreaked havoc on cocoa trees.

To combat the pesky virus, researcher Chen-Charpentier from the University of Kansas, Prairie View A&M, has advocated for vaccinating cocoa trees and spreading them out from one another.

Chen-Carpentier stated, “What we needed to do was create a model for cacao growers so they could know how far away they could safely plant vaccinated trees from unvaccinated trees in order to prevent the spread of the virus while keeping costs manageable for these small farmers.” Continue...

Just days after the Biden administration signed a new military aid package worth billions of dollars to Ukraine, Kyiv launched a series of suicide drone attacks on Russian oil refineries. Biden's top officials have pleaded with Kyiv to stop attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure because of the fears that turmoil in crude markets would send pump prices in the US higher ahead of the presidential elections in November.

"Our region is again under attack by Ukrainian UAVs," Smolensk Governor Vasily Anokhin wrote in a post on Telegram on Wednesday. Kamikaze drones damaged oil facilities in western Russia.

Just as President Biden was signing into effect the newly approved foreign defense package which includes $60 billion for Ukraine, the United Kingdom also rolled out its own massive aid package (though paling in comparison), first unveiled Tuesday.

Britain announced its single largest aid package for Ukraine yet, at the equivalent of $620 million (£500 million). According to UK NATO officials, the arms include Storm Shadow missiles among a total of 1,600 strike and air defense missiles, four million rounds of ammo, 60 boats, and over 400 vehicles.

The Canadian Armed Forces will destroy 11,000 of its Second World War-era pistols after receiving new 9-mm pistols to replace its outdated weaponry.

After receiving the final delivery of the new pistols as part of a $19.4 million project, the old pistols will be sent to supply depots in Alberta and Quebec for disposal, which will be carried out before the end of the year.

The Browning Hi-Power pistols, which has been used by CAF members for decades, were becoming increasingly difficult to find replacement parts for.

Distribution of the newly purchased Sig Sauer P320 to units is already underway.

“The pistols have not yet been destroyed,” said National Defence spokesperson Cheryl Forrest in an email to the Ottawa Citizen. “We anticipate the pistols will be disposed of by the end of 2024.”

According to Forrest, about 150 Browning Hi-Power handguns will be preserved for distribution to museums throughout Canada, however, none have been shipped out yet.

Some Brownings may also be kept within the CAF for specific training or special purposes. Continue...

Another mid-flight mishap involving a Boeing plane forced a Los Angeles-bound flight to return to JFK International Airport in New York on Friday — this time because the Delta aircraft’s emergency slide fell off.

Delta Flight 520 departed JFK at around 7:30 a.m., but just an hour into the flight the plane’s emergency alarm sounded, and the crew discovered that they had lost the emergency slide, forcing the pilots to abandon the trip to L.A. and return to the Queens airport, the New York Post reported. The crew had also reported feeling a vibration at the time of the incident, according to the FAA.

Authorities were searching for the lost emergency slide as of Friday afternoon, according to the Post. Sources told the outlet that they believe the chute could be in Jamaica Bay, just west of JFK Airport. No injuries were reported from the incident, and the Boeing 767 again departed the airport at around 11:00 a.m. Continue...

Carbon tax protesters shut down media’s “Diagolon” claims

https://tnc.news/2024/04/26/carbon-tax-protesters-diagolon-claims/

Despite claims made by Press Progress and CTV News, protesters at the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick border have no connection to podcaster Jeremy Mackenzie’s fictitious meme country Diagolon.

Justin Trudeau and some media corporations made the sensational claim after Pierre Poilievre visited a carbon tax protest while in between events in Atlantic Canada.

Poilievre denounced the “group” and Mackenzie after the podcaster and veteran made remarks about raping Poilievre’s wife, Anaida Poilievre, in September 2022. Mackenzie later claimed that he was joking. However, the Conservative leader asked the RCMP to investigate the incident.

The protesters have been camped at Fort Lawrence, Nova Scotia, since Justin Trudeau hiked the carbon tax by 23% on April 1.

Poilievre called for Canadians to protest the carbon tax hike in March.

According to the Parliamentary Budget Officer’s report, the carbon tax hike will cost the average Nova Scotian household $537 more than they get back in carbon tax rebates this year.

Protest organizer Tommy Everett told True North in an interview that none of the approximately ten people who protest overnight at the camp support Mackenzie or have any connection to his fictitious country.

“Us being with Diagolon is just, grasping at soggy paper straws,” Everett said. “Because they seen a drawing that somebody drew two or three years ago on the inside of a camper with numerous other signatures from people all over Canada.” Continue...

British Columbia has rolled back its drug decriminalization pilot project, banning drug use in all public spaces, including hospitals, transit, and parks.

The change does not criminalize drug possession in private residences or at overdose prevention sites and drug-checking locations.

The province reversed its policy following criticism from mayors, provincial and federal politicians, and a recent outcry from healthcare workers who were endangered by patients using drugs in hospitals.

“Keeping people safe is our highest priority. While we are caring and compassionate for those struggling with addiction, we do not accept street disorder that makes communities feel unsafe,” said Eby. Continue...

Cardiologists Identify COVID-19 Vaccine as Possible Cause of Young Professional’s Heart Problem

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/cardiologists-identify-covid-19-vaccine-as-possible-cause/

Medical professionals are beginning to take a closer look at the potential adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccines, particularly following a series of health complications among younger adults.

Florencia Tarque, a 29-year-old Director of International Recruiting at Puulse Marketing, has come forward with a personal health crisis that her cardiologists suggest may be linked to her COVID-19 vaccination.

“Attention: Cardiologists are now saying my heart problem is more than likely a result of the COVID vaccine,” she wrote on Facebook.

Tarque, an athlete who has maintained a lifestyle centered around wellness, experienced a shocking medical scare earlier this month when she was admitted to the hospital after three electrocardiograms (EKGs) indicated signs of a heart attack. Continue...

Ukraine Army Chief Admits 'Tactical' Retreat Underway

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ukraine-army-chief-admits-tactical-retreat-underway

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi has just issued a new dire assessment confirming widespread international reports that Ukraine forces are getting beaten back from the frontlines.

He has confirmed that his outnumbered troops have fallen back to new positions on the eastern front, west of the villages of Berdychi and Semenivka, outside of Avdiivka - and near Novomykhailivka. Gen. Syrskyi has essentially admitted for the first time that a 'tactical' retreat is underway.

"The situation at the front has worsened," Syrskii wrote on Telegram, ironically coming just days after President Biden signed into effect a $61 billion defense aid package for Ukraine. The Pentagon has vowed to ship new weapons as fast as possible, while some Ukrainian officials have been warning that it is too little, too late. Continue...

Student sues Toronto Metropolitan University for fostering antisemitism on campus

https://tnc.news/2024/04/29/student-sues-tmu-antisemitism-campus/

A Toronto Metropolitan University student is suing the university for failing to apply their policies which prohibit antisemitism. The lawsuit alleges the university’s inaction has created a “poisoned antisemitic learning and working environment” in the wake of Hamas’ massacre of Jews in Israel on Oct. 7.

For the plaintiff Nicole Szweras, Israel is a fundamental part of her Jewish identity. Her mother was born in Israel, she has Israeli citizenship, and many of her friends and family live in Israel, including some who were called to serve in the Israeli Defence Force following the massacre.

Szweras is in the media production program at TMU and was also employed by the university at its Equipment Distribution Centre.

She alleges the university is well aware of continuous acts of antisemitism conducted by other students at the university and has failed to adequately apply its diversity-centred policies to protect Jewish students. Continue...

A British Columbia court sentenced a 24-year-old refugee to probation and a suspended sentence on Wednesday over a violent stabbing incident in Vancouver last November.

Mohamed Abdalla Mohamed Elbahloul pleaded guilty to assault in connection with the stabbing and slashing of one man, and a minor charge related to the assault of another.

The incident occurred Nov. 6, 2021 in downtown Vancouver after a night of drinking.

According to court documents, Elbahloul became intoxicated during a night out with friends. An altercation erupted inside a club, spilling out onto the street.

Elbahloul was provided with a knife by one of his companions and used it to stab the victim’s stomach and then proceeded to also cut his legs. The victim required medical attention as a result of the fight.

Elbahloul also admitted to kicking another victim who was on the ground during the altercation. Continue...

Young Canadians least happy among peers in G7 nations

https://tnc.news/2024/04/29/young-canadians-least-happy-g7-nations/

Young Canadians reported the second-largest decline in life satisfaction according to a new survey, making Canadians under 30-years-old the least happy cohort of their peers among other G7 nations.

Canadians’ life satisfaction has remained in a steady decline since 2013, with happiness making a sharp downward trend since 2017, according to a recent survey conducted by the Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

They released their annual World Happiness Report last month, which evaluates the happiness of residents in 143 countries.

Participants are asked to report their happiness on a scale of zero to 10.

Accounting for all age groups worldwide, Canada ranked as the 15th happiest country globally and first in the G7 for 2023.

However, if the oldest cohort of Canadians is excluded, the country falls to second last in the G7 and globally, it trails behind countries like Mexico and Saudi Arabia. Continue...

Top Study: Carbon Emissions CANNOT Cause ‘Global Warming’

https://www.truth11.com/untitled-1549/

A bombshell new peer-reviewed study has provided conclusive scientific evidence proving that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Earth’s atmosphere cannot cause “global warming.”

Dr. Jan Kubicki led a group of world-renowned Polish scientists to study the impact of increases in CO2 emissions on the Earth’s global temperatures.

However, not only did they find that higher levels of CO2 made no difference, but they also proved that it simply isn’t possible for increases in carbon dioxide to cause temperatures to rise.

Kubicki and his team recently published three papers which all conclude that Earth’s atmosphere is already “saturated” with carbon dioxide.

This saturation means that, even at greatly increased levels of CO2, the “greenhouse gas” will not cause temperatures to rise. Continue...

Although thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome was listed as a potential side effect, the case serves as the first time AstraZeneca has legally confirmed its jab can cause the condition.

COVID-19 vaccine developer AstraZeneca has admitted in a British court that its product can cause a deadly side effect. In a case involving those suffering from adverse reactions to the vaccine, AstraZeneca confirmed its jab can cause TTS — thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome.

The admission from the British vaccine manufacturer comes as the High Court hears from dozens of families who claim they or their loved ones were severely injured or killed by the vaccine.

Its vaccine “can, in very rare cases, cause TTS,” AstraZeneca said in a legal document submitted to the court in February, the Daily Mail reports. Continue...

Indian immigration to Canada has quadrupled over the last 10 years

https://thecountersignal.com/indian-immigration-to-canada-quadrupled-over-ten-years/

Driven by liberal international student policies, the number of Indian immigrants in Canada quadrupled between 2013 and 2023, while the number of Indian students increased by nearly 6,000% between 2000 and 2021.

According to a new report, the number of Indians coming to Canada yearly rose from 38,828 to 139,715 (an increase of 326%) between 2013 and 2023, fueled primarily by Canada’s liberal international student policies, which provide an easier path to temporary and eventually permanent residency compared to the US.

And while the number of international students in general has increased across Canada (from 62,233 in 2000 to 400,521 in 2021), this is especially true for Indian students.

From 2000 to 2021, the number of Indian students attending Canadian universities rose from 2,181 to 128,928—an increase of 5,911%—going from making up just 3.5% of the total number of international students to 32.2%. Continue...

Canada is currently on its way to taking first place for having the most unaffordable housing market on Earth.

According to data from the OECD, which tracks housing prices amongst developed nations across the globe, Canada currently has the second highest housing price-to-income ratio in the world, second only to Portugal, which is experiencing an unusual bubble that has already hit a ceiling and is expected to cool over the coming months.

In other words, Canada is poised to officially become the most unaffordable place on Earth in terms of housing over the coming months based on Canadians’ income levels and ability to afford rent, mortgages, etc. But really, it already is the worst.

https://thecountersignal.com/alberta-rcmp-on-the-brink-of-collapse/

Alberta Minister of Public Safety Mike Ellis says the RCMP is ‘stretched thin’, ‘on the brink’ of collapse, and increasingly unable to keep Albertans safe.

Following news from the Management Advisory Board that the federal police force is “stretched thin” in the province, Ellis expressed his deep concerns, saying that it’s time for Alberta to have an independent provincial police agency to address the gaps left by Ottawa.

“Ottawa is making Canadians and Albertans less safe through its failure to adequately support policing services. That’s why Alberta’s government is working on several fronts to enhance the current policing model to ensure it’s meeting the needs of our communities,” Ellis wrote in a statement.

“This includes introducing the Public Safety Statutes Amendment Act, 2024 to help augment provincial policing,” Ellis continued. “If passed, the tabled legislation will support policing efforts by enabling the creation of an independent police agency that would be able to carry out police-like functions currently performed by Alberta’s sheriffs.”

Saudi Arabia on Sunday pledged $500 million to a polio vaccination initiative that counts the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (B&MGF) among its private-sector partners. In exchange, the Gates Foundation agreed to open an office in the Saudi capital city of Riyadh.

“In Afghanistan and Pakistan, the last remaining polio-endemic countries, we have seen significant progress, yet work remains to be done as the world pushes towards making eradication possible. The pledge from Saudi Arabia today will enhance the innovation and collaboration needed to eradicate this disease,” said Dr. Abdullah A. al-Rabeeah, supervisor-general of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center.

“Together with our partners, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (B&MGF), the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, the Islamic Development Bank and key countries across the region, our support will not only aim to end polio but to also strengthen health systems in these countries,” Dr. al-Rabeeah said as the pledge was announced.

“Polio is a horrific disease that deserves to be in the history books once and for all. I am proud to see the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, together with partners across the Middle East, step up to help deliver more polio vaccines, measles immunisations, and other vital health services to millions of children every year,” Bill Gates said in response.

“This global health investment will help strengthen and build more resilient health systems and communities, at a time of multiple crises around the world,” Gates said. Continue...

Over 1,000 peaceful protesters gathered in Hamburg, Germany, over the weekend, with the leader of the group demanding the establishment of am Islamic caliphate in the European country.

A caliphate is a political-religious form of government under the leadership of an Islamic steward with the title of the caliph or “successor of the prophet of God,” who is considered a high-ranking leader in the Muslim world.

According to local German media reports and German authorities, the protest was organized by a young man who leads a populist extremist group, Muslim Interaktiv. In several videos of the protest posted online, a speaker addressing a crowd can be heard describing the caliphate as a “system that provides security” that has been “demonized” by politicians and media in Germany. The crowd responded with cheer, and some with chants of “Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest).”

A social media account connected to the group shared multiple photos and posts of the protest, which it says was aimed at standing against the “demonization of all Islamic life in Germany.” Continue...

A sudden surge in Ukrainian drone strikes targeting Russia's vast energy industry materialized early last week (read here) and continued into the weekend (read here). To combat drone strikes on refineries and crude and or crude product storage tanks, "cope cages" have been installed to fortify at least one refinery against potential aerial threats.

The proliferation of drones on the modern battlefield in Eastern Europe, more specifically in Ukraine, has been absolutely stunning to spectate over the last two years. From suicide drones taking out infantry troops on the first and second lines to Ukraine launching drone swarm attacks on Russia's energy complex, warfare is forever changing.

With that being said, military forces and even countries must adapt to this changing environment where drones and AI dominate the battlefield. And that's why Russia is now installing anti-drone cages, known as "cope cages," to protect these critical facilities that help fund Moscow's "special military operation" in Ukraine. Continue...

In fact, the tone-deaf Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP) doesn’t just emphasize that “equity” is the foundation of all of the board’s work: it states flat out in a TDSB policy paper embedded in the plan that the board’s version of equity ensures equality of “opportunities and outcomes” for all students.

“Equity ensures equality of opportunities and outcomes for all by responding fair (sic) and proportionality (sic) to the needs of individuals,” the equity policy states.

“Equity is not the same as equal treatment because it recognizes a social-cultural Power Imbalance that unfair Privilege (sic) some while oppressing others and therefore focuses on redressing Disparity.” Continue...

An activist who has become a recognizable face at some of Canada’s most heated protests was among several arrested on hate-motivated and other charges related to an anti-Israel protest.

Deana Sherif, 47, faces eight charges and was denied bail after allegedly assaulting a police officer and two others and harassing people as they left a religious service in what police have called a hate-motivated incident.

When asked if the Jewish community was targeted and if the religious service was at a synagogue, a spokesperson from the Ottawa Police Service told True North they “will not identify the victims so as not to further victimize.”

Sherif was arrested after a series of protest-related incidents on Apr. 15, in the wake of Iran’s attack on Israel.

She is charged with assaulting a police officer with the intent to prevent an arrest, obstructing a peace officer in the execution of their duty, two counts of assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public, two counts of hate-motivated harassment, and threatening behaviour and intimidation.

Canadian college awards scholarship to man who plays on both men’s and women’s volleyball teams

The scholarship recipient and biological male, Franz Lagardas, who plays on both the men's and women's teams, is known for reportedly giving his female opponents injuries on the volleyball court.

A man who seemingly switches between male and female to play on both sexes’ volleyball teams has been awarded a women’s scholarship by a Canadian community college.

This year, Seneca College in Toronto, Ontario awarded the Angela James Scholarship to Franz Lagardas, a supposedly gender-confused biological male who plays on both the men’s and women’s volleyball teams.

“But many people in the volleyball community are not confused – they’re furious,” Rebel News reporter David Menzies stated. “They’re the ones who tipped us off to this latest transanity nonsense.” Continue...

Justin Trudeau tells Liberal caucus not to expect increased public support this year

https://tnc.news/2024/04/30/jt-tells-liberal-caucus-public-support/

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told his Liberal MPs in a caucus meeting that they should not be expecting much improvement in the public’s support for his party.

This comes after reports circulated that the Prime Minister’s Office had set an internal goal to shave the Conservatives’ lead in the polls by five points every six months, aiming to hit their first goal deadline by July.

The Liberal Party has not been faring well in recent public opinion polls, as the Conservatives under their leader Pierre Poilievre has seen a massive uptick in support at the expense of the Liberals.

According to a report from The Hill Times, an anonymous Liberal MP said that Trudeau told his MPs that they should not expect to catch up to the Conservatives in public opinion polls anytime soon at the Liberals’ national caucus meeting in mid-April.

“He’s [Trudeau] trying to downplay expectations,” said an unnamed Liberal MP.

“It’s like treading water when you’re drowning. [He was telling us] to not freak out while you’re drowning, that you stay calm, and you can get back to the top for a lot of the Members who are below water.” Continue...

Only 6% of vaccine injury claimants have been paid as Liberals earmark $36 million for program

https://tnc.news/2024/04/30/only-6-of-vaccine-injury-claimants-paid/

The federal government’s payment program for the vaccine-injured is getting a $36 million top up from the feds, but accessing that money is proving difficult.

Of the 2,233 claims made to the Vaccine Injury Support Program, just 138 – a little over 6% – have been approved by the medical review board for the program, which has paid out $11.2 million so far.

The Liberals have allocated an additional $36 million in the recent budget to the Vaccine Injury Support Program, over the next two years.

Oxaro administers the Vaccine Injury Support Program for the feds for all provinces and territories, except Quebec, which has its own program.

Ross Wightman, who was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre system after receiving a COVID vaccine, was one of the recipients, getting a one-time payout of around $250,000, the maximum offered by the program. He also receives $90,000 annually in income replacement.

“I don’t know if there’s even an amount that would ease the pain,” said Wightman.

Despite being poked, prodded, and tested for months, doctors were fearful of the consequences they might face from superiors if they officially declared that the vaccines caused Wightman’s injuries. Continue...

Trudeau-appointed senator says Canada has no business in the Taiwan Strait

https://tnc.news/2024/05/01/trudeau-appointed-senator-no-business-in-taiwan/

A Trudeau-appointed senator known for repeating communist China’s talking points recently said during a Carleton University lecture that Canada shouldn’t be involved in defence exercises along the Taiwan Strait and should forge further ties with countries like China.

During the Vickers-Verduyn Lecture in Canadian Studies earlier this month, Sen. Yuen Pau Woo elaborated on his views on China.

This statement comes in the wake of the Canadian Navy’s joint transit with the American Navy last year, an action that attracted close scrutiny from Chinese military forces.

“We are, as you know, in a geopolitical conflict primarily between the U.S. and China. There are certain actions the U.S. is taking with respect to China that make sense and that we might well want to follow,” said Woo.

“However, there are other actions that do not align with our national interest. If we start considering our national interests, for instance, I’m not sure we should be sailing through the Taiwan Strait. I don’t think that’s necessarily in our national interests.”

The senator’s comments echo China’s official line – that Canada has no business in the Taiwan Strait.

Woo also expressed dislike for trade prohibitions as well as bans on research collaborations between Canadian universities and Chinese institutions. This is despite the Chinese Communist Party employing various intelligence-gathering schemes like the Thousand Talents Program to attract research from abroad so that it can advance its own technological and military interests over its Western competitors.

Diagolon founder denies ties with Conservatives despite Trudeau’s accusations

https://tnc.news/2024/05/01/diagolon-founder-denies-ties-with-conservatives/

Jeremy Mackenzie, the creator of the internet meme country Diagolon, denied Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s claims that he and the Conservative Party of Canada or its leader Pierre Poilievre are connected in any way.

“The CPC has no connections or affiliations with myself or anyone involved in my circles,” Mackenzie said on his podcast. “These claims by the Liberals are an outright and deliberately malicious fabrication in a desperate and pathetic attempt to sway support away from the Conservative Party’s momentum that appears overwhelmingly likely to crush the Liberals in any election held anywhere in this plane of reality.”

The claims, spurred on by Trudeau, came after Poilievre visited a legal carbon-tax protest encampment on the side of a highway in an Atlantic Canada border town. The flag of Mackenzie’s made-up country can be seen on the door of a camper Poilievre entered.

The Prime Minister accused Poilievre of meeting with Diagolon, and has since continued to levy accusations of “courting white supremacists” and “conspiracy theorists.”

The protesters denied any connection to Diagolon and told True North the drawing was made by someone who stopped in one time to get warm at the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa and was never seen again.

Mackenzie confirmed their claims. He said he asked Sam Field, who according to Mackenzie owns the trailer, to remove the drawing “immediately.” Continue...
