Is Our Diversities Learing?

Stewart Bell;

The top lieutenant of the Indian gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Goldy Brar arrived in Canada in 2017, ostensibly to attend Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C.

But it is “unknown” if he ever went to class, records show.

Instead, he helped Bishnoi expand his criminal organization into Canada, allegedly instigating high-profile murders, a political assassination and an extortion crisis.

A classified intelligence report obtained by Global News reveals the Bishnoi gang’s Canadian franchise has relied heavily on Indian youths who, like Brar, entered the country on student visas.

Written by the Canada Border Services Agency, the report cites the gang’s “growing operational presence in Canada” and “demonstrated use of Canada’s immigration programs for criminal purposes.”

“Investigations increasingly identify Indian foreign nationals on study permits and work permits as participants in these organized criminal activities,” the CBSA’s Intelligence and Investigations Directorate wrote.

“The sustained expansion of Bishnoi-linked extortions and the involvement of student permit and work permit holders raises significant concerns for CBSA operations.”

The Part I Like Best

About pot legalization is the way it diverted Canadian dealers from the dangerous criminal underground to open government regulated dispensaries.

Legally grown cannabis is flooding into Europe from Canada, enriching criminal gangs and helping turn Belgium into a “narco state”.

Farms legalised under Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister of Canada, are supplying smugglers with high-strength marijuana to be shipped into some of the Continent’s major ports, a Telegraph investigation has found.

Record quantities of cannabis are flooding into the port of Antwerp in Belgium, with customs seizing 32 tons of cannabis in the last year alone – a 500 per cent increase from 2024.

The gangs smuggle the cannabis into Europe’s ports in 6m-long shipping containers sent from the docks of Vancouver, Montreal, Halifax and St John.

The smuggling operation is being driven by Chinese state-linked mafia networks which have proliferated in Canada’s countryside since Mr Trudeau legalised the drug eight years ago.

Circling The Drain

The problem with the technical recession label is that it obscures the fact that Canada has already been in an effective recession for about ten years.

Whether or not Canada’s quarterly GDP grew or shrank fractionally over the past six months is of trivial importance compared with the inarguable fact that per capita growth has stalled since 2015. Our economy has not just had a bad couple of quarters, it has faltered for a decade, mostly because of persistently weak business investment.

New Governor, Same As The Old Governor

Western Standard;

Retired Lt. Colonel David Redman, former head of Alberta’s emergency management, has accused federal authorities of the intentional erosion of Canada’s national security apparatus over the past 11 years.

“To go from calling China the largest strategic threat to Canada one year ago and now calling it a very significant strategic partner is a completely intentional act. You can’t say it’s not. And so from my point of view, each of the steps in the degradation of Canada’s 10 elements of national security have been thought through and are intentional.”

Speaking on the Hannaford show, Redman outlined the “purposeful destruction” of agencies responsible for geopolitical analysis, intelligence services, border controls, immigration policy, and policing. He argued this was not the result of negligence or misplaced priorities under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, but deliberate acts aimed at weakening national unity and validating the prime minister’s understanding of Canada as a “post-national state.”

He said they have been “intentionally destroyed or reduced in capability,” to erode Canada’s ability to defend its culture, values, and sovereignty. Redman drew parallels to policies under Pierre Elliott Trudeau, suggesting his son continues a similar agenda by prioritizing global interests over national ones.

“When you bring in people who do not share your common interests and values,” he said, “it’s an intentional act to break the unity.”

Sane Ideas

At least a few boomers are quietly suggesting that Old Age Security spending be reined in by some means. Stephen Harper tried something similar by raising the age of eligibility to 67, but Trudeau Junior reversed that. Hopefully this gains traction this time around.

OAS is currently Canada’s costliest federal program, eating up roughly one in every six dollars of federal spending. This amounted to a total of $85.5 billion in 2025-26 and is expected to exceed $100 billion annually by the end of the decade. Paul Kershaw, head of Generation Squeeze, said in a media briefing on Tuesday that policymakers can ill afford to ignore ballooning OAS costs at a time of “heightened geopolitical instability and economic uncertainty.”

Sam Cooper- Inside Canada’s Diaspora Extortion Pipeline—How Organized Crime Fraud in Student Visas, International Schools, and Mass Migration Became a Recruiting Stream for Shooting Squads

Canada’s spiraling extortion crisis targeting Indo-Canadian communities is being driven by international organized crime that has exploited a whole industry of designated learning institutes and immigration consultant shops through massive fraud, coercing vulnerable student migrants into serving in extortion squads that are terrorizing families and businesses, with brazen shootings now occurring on a near daily basis in Surrey, B.C., the epicenter of a national security threat now spreading through communities in Toronto, Edmonton, and Winnipeg, The Bureau’s investigations have revealed.

Gating Your Capital

I like Jeff Snider’s podcasts and in this one he spends the first half talking about Canadian real estate investment funds that are starting to restrict payouts. Given that Canadian real estate values are crashing, if they don’t halt outflows the funds could quickly become insolvent. The Bloomberg article he quotes is behind a paywall, but he conveniently scrolls through it so you can read the whole thing.

“Stung by a deep downturn in the country’s housing market, many of the funds have restricted cash distributions, client withdrawals, or both in a process the industry calls gating. Often the companies don’t say when access will resume, and about 30 billion Canadian, about 21.7 billion US equivalent. Almost 40% of the 80 billion Canadian invested in such funds is now locked up.”

Racial Injustice

Odd that the writers of the story never thought to get any input from Omogbolahan Jegede’s victims.

A former university football player who sexually assaulted two women has been sentenced to just two years in prison because he is black and was feeling intense pressure around the time of the attacks, the judge said. Omogbolahan Jegede, 25, had choked one of the women almost into unconsciousness.

“It should be noted that but, for the contents of the Impact of Race and Culture Assessment (IRCA), the pre-sentence report and all the mitigating factors surrounding Omogbolahan (Teddy) Jegede, this sentence would have been much higher,” Justice Frank Hoskins said in his Nova Scotia Supreme Court decision on Wednesday.
