When Everything is an Emergency
Nothing is an emergency.
Globe and Mail- So, what happened to Canada’s gun control emergency?
The Trudeau government, by comparison, excels at making announcements, and trips over its laces when it comes to implementation (see: pharmacare, defence procurement, appointing judges, vaccine development, dental care).
It’s Probably Nothing
Paul Vieira- According to World Bank data on Canada, net outflows of foreign direct investment, at 4% of GDP, outstrip net inflows of FDI, at 2.2% of GDP.

Our Chinese-Installed Government In Ottawa
Sam Cooper Exclusive: Another panty drops.
In a journalistic probe including interviews with numerous Canadian intelligence, law enforcement and diaspora sources, The Bureau has discovered aside from casino crimes at 5 Decourcy, CSIS investigators suspected the gambling haven functioned with Chinese intelligence to capture Canadian politicians in Beijing’s clandestine election-interference networks.
Following YRP’s July 2020 night raid on 5 Decourcy, while detectives pursued illegal casino and weapons charges against 18 suspects, officers also reached out to CSIS investigators with stunning information.
They said that digital video evidence seized from 5 Decourcy’s owner, a politically-connected Toronto real estate developer from China’s Anhui province, revealed that local politicians could have been recorded in compromising sexual acts. […]
According to a senior intelligence source, CSIS’s warrant alleged 5 Decourcy’s owner, 52-year-old Wei Wei, was tied to the Chinese Communist Party through his companies in Anhui, and that he was director of an Anhui-Canada “Friendship Association” started in 2012 in connection to Beijing’s foreign-influence arm, the United Front Work Department.
The warrant document also alleged Wei Wei had ties to a Vancouver community leader investigated by CSIS, the source said, and that another suspect charged in the 5 Decourcy casino raid was the family member of a high-ranking Chinese Military Intelligence official.
The warrant was sent to CSIS headquarters in Ottawa but it languished for months in bureaucratic limbo, three sources said.
They said CSIS’s opportunity to obtain technical evidence from YRP collapsed in early 2021, when illegal gaming and weapons charges against Wei Wei unravelled bizarrely, allowing the mansion casino owner to recover his digital content from YRP.
(They weren’t languishing. Our bureaucratic limbos work late into the night on these cases.)
But The Bureau’s investigation into CSIS’s suspicions at 5 Decourcy Court goes beyond questions of Chinese political activity inside the massive mansion.
An examination of hundreds of federal election campaign documents and Chinese media reports reveals sprawling fundraising networks emanating from a circle of directors in the Canada-Anhui Friendship Association that is named in CSIS’s 5 Decourcy warrant application.
In addition to Wei Wei, these directors include several prominent Liberal Party officials and fundraisers close to Justin Trudeau and his power circle of senior aides and cabinet ministers.
Some of these players are identified by The Bureau in a notorious series of “cash-for-access” meetings and donations that a recent United States congressional report termed a “Chinese state-backed plot to improperly influence then Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau.”

A Serious Threat
Gateway Pundit- Secret Service Investigates Maine Veteran After Allegedly Joking About Biden Wearing ‘Depends’
The investigation, led by now-retired Secret Service agent John Mazza, was launched in July 2022 after the man made comments on Twitter that were deemed ‘concerning.’
One of the man’s posts that caught the agency’s attention suggested, apparently jokingly, that he planned to “invade the White House and get pics of Biden in his ‘Depends,’” referring to a brand of adult diapers.

Kangaroo Court News
Bouncing Back: Jack Smith on Trial
In a stunning turn of events, [U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon], appointed by Donald Trump in 2020, is poised to make Smith a defendant of sorts.
Over the next several weeks, prosecutors will be forced to publicly counter defense motions that accuse the DOJ of selective and vindictive prosecution; insist the appointment of Smith is illegal; and claim that several parties, including Joe Biden’s White House, colluded behind the scenes as early as May 2021 to concoct the unprecedented case.
Her hearing schedule represents a broader spilling of bad blood between Cannon and the DOJ dating back to September 2022, when Cannon took the courageous step of appointing a special master, or third party, to vet the all of the evidence seized by the FBI during the armed raid of Mar-a-Lago the month before.
Noting at the time the prosecution’s suspected leaks to the news media and the mishandling of evidence in the early stages of the investigation — in addition to what she called the need for “public trust” in the case — Cannon granted Trump’s request for the special master.
Although the 11th Circuit Court overturned her order a few months later on grounds she did not have proper jurisdiction, Cannon now is exonerated amid disclosures by Smith in a May 3 brief that evidence has been mishandled and key documents possibly misplaced. “[There] are some boxes where the order of items within that box is not the same as in the associated scans (taken right after the raid),” Smith’s team revealed, referring to 34 boxes taken from Mar-a-Lago.
Smith also revealed that in some instances, sheets of paper that FBI investigators used to replace classified records within a box do not match. “In many but not all instances, the FBI was able to determine which document with classification markings corresponded to a particular placeholder sheet,” Smith wrote.
In other words, the government officials prosecuting Trump with mishandling top-secret files –mishandled top-secret files.

National Bankruptcy
I personally know some people who would choose to be a care-giver to their XBox if the math of Universal Basic Income worked out for them. In all likelihood, it would do so in many cases. At least enough to send us over the cliff into default and an inflationary currency collapse.
Sen. Kim Pate and NDP MP Leah Gazan introduced bills S-233 and C-223, respectively, in a bid to create the first national framework to provide all people over age 17 across Canada, including temporary workers, permanent residents and refugee claimants, a guaranteed livable basic income.
Based on Ontario’s basic income pilot project, the Parliamentary Budget Officer estimated that the basic gross cost of guaranteed basic income(opens in a new tab) nationally would range between $30.5 billion and $71.4 billion from November 2020 to March 2021…
