Once again, the Hamas-supporting mob will take to the streets of Toronto to explicitly deny Israel’s right to exist — the textbook definition of antisemitism.

Sights like these are no longer uncommon because Canada’s Liberal government has refused to stand against even the most vile behaviour happening in plain sight — in fact they’ve encouraged it with your tax dollars.

Our Canadian values are under attack right before our eyes – pretending not to see it is simply shameful.

If It Wasn’t For Fake Promises

There wouldn’t be any promises at all.

Blacklock’s- Feds Knew Target Was Faked

“Under current rates of production Canada’s construction industry is not projected to meet the housing supply needed to address demand and restore affordability,” said the Briefing Note To The Minister Of Housing. “The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation estimates an additional 3.5 million housing units need to be built by 2030, beyond the 2.3 million already projected to be built.”

The tariff war with the United States could have been very different if Canada had decided to build the Energy East and LNG Quebec pipelines over the past decade, according to a new study by the Montreal Economic Institute.

B.C.’s David Eby proposes draconian legislation to respond to Donald Trump

Globe and Mail- Premier Eby, please practise democracy

British Columbia’s NDP government tabled legislation last week that, if enacted as is, would give it sweeping powers to pass regulations without having to bother with the tedious obligation of asking for the blessing of the provincial legislature.

National Post- Mark Carney’s not really supposed to be doing anything

Mark Carney may now be Canada’s 24th prime minister, but the unique circumstances of his appointment mean that he technically shouldn’t be allowed to do anything.

No appointments. No new spending or taxes. No foreign policy commitments. Nothing at all that isn’t “routine,” “non-controversial” and “reversible.”

It’s all part of the “caretaker convention,” a longstanding parliamentary tradition which holds that until a prime minister is able to “command the confidence of the House of Commons,” he’s not allowed to wield the full powers of his office.

In fact, he’s not supposed to do almost any of the things Canadians typically associate with their prime minister.
