Who Runs Canada?

Take a good look:

In a rebuke to Canada, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) has expressed regret that work continues on the Coastal GasLink pipeline, the Trans Mountain pipeline and the Site C dam without the free, prior and informed consent of Indigenous Peoples.

The progressive left loses the plot when it forgets issues of class, perhaps because, ironically, its greatest proponents are the Laurentian elites themselves, who are blind to their own class privilege. The right, which espouses equality of opportunity rather than equalizing outcomes, must do better in acknowledging the persistence of class bias in Canada, while acknowledging that much progress has been made elsewhere in our society.

Federal officials sent an email last week rejecting hundreds of organizations that applied for funding. Their email informed some Black community leaders that their organizations are not Black enough to qualify.

Canadians should expect more intensive pandemic controls, says the Public Health Agency. Measures to date including lockdowns and curfews are insufficient, it said: “Do I absolutely need to go out today?”

"I was absolutely floored," said Trudeau. "Carefully coded questions, particularly this week when we just lived through last week, what happens when leaders don't take care of the words they do, and play these dangerous words around intolerance and hate."

"That kind of political pandering to the worst elements and to fears and anxieties has no place in Canada," said Trudeau.

 

I'll just leave this right here:

During Alghabra’s term as President of the CAF, he slammed the National Post report that referred to the Al-Aqsa Brigade as a “terrorist group,” and stated: “CanWest, one of the largest media conglomerates in Canada, is failing its responsibility towards all Canadians, not just Arabs and Muslims.”

Also during his term as CAF president, Alghabra wrote to Toronto police chief Bill Blair to protest Blair’s decision to lead a “Walk for Israel.”

In the letter, which was posted on CAF’s website, Alghabra called Israel “a country that is conducting a brutal and the longest contemporary military occupation in the world. This event coupled with your recent participation in a delegation of police chiefs that went on a six-day trip to Israel on March 1, has begun to create a feeling of genuine distrust and confusion for what appears to be your public endorsement of the practices of the state of Israel.”
