Diversity Is Our Strength


@AMCKunneke We had to provide negative TB, HIV, and VDRL (syphilis) tests in 1990 to get a work permit and visitor visa! Liberal sphincters are still contracting over COVID, but they’re letting diseased humans in.

And more: – I work in the dental field, and refugee claimants who haven’t been accepted yet can still apply for the new Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). So that means they can have up to $2,000 a year in dental care through IFHP plus CDCP.

The Part I Like Best

About the liberalization of narcotic use is the way it forced international drug cartels to leave their old ways behind to find honest work.

Seven Canadians with alleged ties to former Canadian Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding, who is considered one of the world’s most dangerous fugitives with a major drug-trafficking network operating across the Americas, have been arrested and will be extradited to the U.S. in connection to former Canadian

Wedding, who competed for Canada in the 2002 Winter Olympics, is already on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. U.S. officials say he is allegedly responsible for dozens of murders abroad.

The 44-year-old has been charged with overseeing the operations of a criminal enterprise – including by engaging in witness intimidation tactics such as murder – and enriching himself with the enterprise’s laundered drug proceeds.

U.S. officials allege Wedding issued ordered the killing of a witness in a 2024 federal narcotics case against Wedding. The witness was shot to death in restaurant in Medellin in January 2025.

More: Gursewak Singh Bal of Mississauga, owner of @thedirtynews & an SFJ member, has now been exposed as a criminal accused of conspiracy to commit murder.

I Want A New Country

But wait! There’s more.

The IFHP gives supplementary health benefits to people who claim refugee status, even after their refugee claim has been denied. That means bogus refugee claimants receive dental, drug, vision, physio etc. coverage that taxpaying Canadian do not get.

Maybe Some Other Time…

I assume that if an Arctic hydro dam was a viable proposition, someone else would have already done it. But cost is apparently no object. In order to expedite that, a bitumen pipeline is going to get dropped from the list. What’s notably missing from the list as well is any mention of funding to complete a four lane highway across the country, which would finally put us on par with most semi-industrialized nations.

The Crawford nickel project in northeastern Ontario is also expected to be on the list, as well as Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc.’s mine and battery-materials plant project in Quebec, an Iqaluit hydro project and a major electricity transmission line in northern B.C., according to reports from CBC News and Bloomberg News.

Peter Menzies- Budget 2025 fails to bail out the legacy media

Carney, as he, his entourage and acolytes are quick to remind Canadians, has a doctorate in economics and has run the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. In other words, he knows how the world works. And that means he’s more than aware that heavily subsidizing one commercial competitor within an industry will do harm to others, particularly when the industry is one that has been running desperately short of cash.

Blacklock’s- Revenues Crash Despite Aid

Newspaper revenues are down a quarter since 2020 despite millions in taxpayers’ bailouts, new Statistics Canada data show. The latest figures follow comments by the subsidized press’ chief lobbyist, Paul Deegan, that Canadian publishers were unable to change their business model.

Deranged Dominion or Banana Republic?

A good read.

The Bureau- Carney’s Floor-Crossing Campaign. A Media-Staged Bid for Majority Rule That Erodes Democracy While Beijing Hovers

The fallout was already clear to see last week. And it doesn’t look good for Canadian democracy or Canadian media, which receives significant government subsidies. Even at surface level, the press corps was visibly distracted from its first duty to citizens: scrutinizing a historically large budget packed with nation-building promises and unanswered questions about feasibility. Veteran reporters have already acknowledged this.

Fitch ain’t having any of it.

Persistent Fiscal Expansion Underscores Canada Rating Pressures

Canada’s (AA+/Stable) proposed budget, announced in Parliament on Nov. 4, underscores the erosion of the federal government’s finances, says Fitch Ratings. While Canada’s rating is broadly stable, persistent fiscal expansion and a rising debt burden have weakened its credit profile and could increase rating pressure over the medium term. This may be exacerbated by persistent economic underperformance caused by tariff risks and structural challenges, including low productivity. […]

Combined with sizable non-budgetary financing needs (mainly support of enterprise crown corporations), the higher deficits will substantially increase general government gross debt (GGGD), which we forecast to reach 91.8% of GDP in 2025 from 88.6% in 2024, before accelerating to 98.5% by 2027, nearly double the forecast ‘AA’ median of 49.6%.
