The Honourable Minister For Air India Was Unavailable For Comment

Welcome home, chickens!

Ripudaman Singh Malik, the man acquitted in the 1985 Air India terrorist bombing, has been killed in a targeted shooting in Surrey, B.C.

An employee who works at the car wash near the site of the shooting said he heard shots and ran outside to find Malik unconscious in his car.

“There was three gunshots. One hit on the neck, that’s it. And I just took him out. He was alive,” said the man, who didn’t want to be named because of safety concerns.

I don’t know if this is a legitimate question — but it’s a good one.

Trudeau Liberals Showered $636 Million In Covid Aid On Teenage Students

And they won’t be chasing after them to get it back.

Statistics Canada says hundreds of thousands of teenaged students received payments of up to $5,000, which was money intended for COVID relief aid for jobless taxpayers facing eviction or foreclosure, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

Access to Information documents show in 2021 a total $636 million was paid to high schoolers. […]

In March 25, 2020, Parliament enacted the Canada Emergency Response Benefit Act to issue $2,000-a month cheques to jobless taxpayers.

The act allowed payments to teenagers as young as 15 but they needed to provide a tax return the previous year.

Blacklocks say records showed federal authorities gave payments without confirming applicants were tax filers.

Because that money is spent, and those children are their future. Instead, they’ll come chasing after us.

Now Is The Time At SDA When We Take Him To The Train Station

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, November, 2021;

Canadians have given us an extremely ambitious climate mandate. That in itself is a sign of progress. As a lifelong environmentalist, I feel the responsibility of those expectations. […] International climate conferences just raise the stakes. I’ll be travelling across the country by train early in the new year to speak with as many Canadians as possible about taking our country’s climate ambitions to the next level, here in Canada and for the next COP.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, July 2022;

Guilbeault’s office confirmed Tuesday that the minister’s ambitious early-2022 train tour plan didn’t happen in part because of the sixth COVID-19 wave, but also because Via Rail simply was not offering the required service levels to make it possible.

In Defense of Tamara Lich

Preston Manning has written a superb op-ed about the persecution of Tamara Lich:

Since the attitude of the Trudeau government toward individual Canadians very much depends on their gender and race, let the record show that Tamara is female and of Metis heritage. With these characteristics, and if she was being hounded by a Conservative administration for involvement in a left-wing protest, Tamara would by now have been lionized by the Trudeau Liberals as a freedom martyr, made the subject of a sympathetic full-length documentary by the CBC, granted an honorary degree by some university, and nominated for the Order of Canada.

Prisons Without Bars

Does anyone honestly believe that this isn’t coming to Canada in the near future? Who precisely is going to push back? The Canadian Sheeple certainly won’t say a word.

He Admires Their Basic Dictatorship

In the Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Trudeaupia, everyone has a jobBased on today’s Labour Force Survey, 92% of jobs created since February 2020 are in the public sector.

One of the major questions of the pandemic-induced recession was about the magnitude and mix of the subsequent economic recovery. Would it be a U-shaped recovery? Or a W-shaped recovery? Or an L-shaped recovery? And where would the jobs come from? Which sectors would ultimately drive the recovery?

That Canada’s economy fully restored the jobs lost during the pandemic by late 2021 seemed to answer these questions. Headlines and commentaries declared that “Canada’s pandemic jobs recovery has been remarkable” and “Canada’s labour market bounces back.”

The Trudeau government was even more affirmative: its 2021 economic and fiscal update, for instance, boasted that the economy was “roaring back” based on recouping 106 percent of the jobs lost during the pandemic.1

Yet these top-level claims require a deeper dive into what’s really behind Canada’s post-pandemic recovery. The data tell us a less favourable story than the prevailing narrative in the media or from the government. Much of Canada’s post-pandemic jobs recovery—indeed, nearly 85 percent since February 2020 — has actually been concentrated in the public sector. We have experienced a G-shaped recovery: a government-centric recovery.

Theo Fleury- Trauma

A very good interview here with ex-NHL hockey player Theo Fleury. As a youth Fleury was raped over 150 times by a coach. As one can imagine this led to all sorts of dark places. Trauma, addiction and various mental health problems. Covid, Trudeau and Canada’s brutal response to the pandemic retraumatized Fleury and others in ways we never thought possible in what’s supposed to be one of the nicest most peaceful countries in the world.

Western Standard- Border restrictions for unvaccinated truck drivers continue wreaking havoc on farmers, consumers

“These restrictions are punishing farmers who can’t afford to ship their goods, and it’s punishing consumers at the grocery store with inflation. The farmers are reporting that these restrictions are the number one cause of inflation, right now.”

Krayden said during the beginning of the pandemic, there was a border exemption for agri-food shippers, because it was recognized as a critical part of Canada’s infrastructure.

But Krayden said that exemption for agri-food has “essentially been lost,” due to various restrictions that “are superseding the federal government’s own public safety regulations on agri-food being essential.”

The policy prohibiting unvaccinated foreign national truck drivers from entering Canada has been in place since January 15, 2022. The United States has an identical policy for truck drivers in place.

Krayden said the border restrictions have increased trucking rates by 30% to 50% over the last few months, which many farmers have said is leading to price gouging. “That is just one more cost they have to absorb with all the exorbitant inflation on their inputs,” she said.

Sun- Many reserves still lack clean water

Since the Trudeau government came to power in 2015, spending to improve the lives of Indigenous people has gone up 140% in seven years, from $11.4 billion annually in 2015 to a projected $27.4 billion this year.

And yet the lives of our Indigenous citizens have not demonstrably improved.

To cite just one example, despite all that spending, the Trudeau government still hasn’t fulfilled its 2015 election promise to end all drinking water advisories on reserves by March 31, 2021.

Canadians Are Not That Reasonable

They don’t want to listen. They’ve been trained not to do that.

Sun- A message worth hearing

When someone is so passionate about an issue that they are willing to walk across Canada to deliver a message to the nation’s capital, every Canadian should consider at least hearing that person out.

They’d rather just call him a Nazi.
