Mid-Week Post

 

Your mid-week disturbance in the Force ... 

 

Yet the government refuses to take terrorism seriously:

 Canadian special forces were operating the mystery aircraft that flew over Ottawa during the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests in late January and February, this newspaper has confirmed.

 

Because Amazon deliverymen and other truck-drivers are the true threat to domestic security, unlike guys who join ISIS.

 

And people wonder why Pierre Poilievre seems so attractive now. 

Also:

“Travelling across Canada these past few weeks, one of the most common questions I get is about the World Economic Forum (WEF), the Prime Minister’s post-national ambitions, and the threat of digital ID,” writes Lewis.

“Unfortunately, we continue to see the real fears and concerns of Canadians being dismissed as “conspiracy.” But what are we supposed to tell Canadians when the head of the WEF said about Justin Trudeau and our Government “We penetrate the cabinets…? I know that half of his cabinet or more than half are actually young global leaders of the world economic forum.”

Should we be flying the Chinese flag or the Stars and Stripes?:

An Alberta MP’s “I love Canada” button prompted formal protest in the Commons. Conservative MP Martin Shields (Bow River) expressed dismay that the slogan would cause offence: “If people in the House disregard their love for Canada I have a problem with that.”

 

 

Totalitarian governments don't verify things:

The Department of Finance last night disclosed it never verified whether all account freezes under a Freedom Convoy order were justified. The department relied on banks to act in good faith, it said: “You are certain of that? Why are you certain of that?”

As an arm of the government, it is naturally corrupt:

Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier yesterday dismissed as “twisted” allegations of corrupt practices at the Canada Revenue Agency. MPs in the Commons demanded answers on whistleblower accusations a former assistant revenue commissioner helped a corporate lobbyist save millions: “Internal Canada Revenue Agency emails raise concerns around corruption.”

 

 

Yes, but their hypocrisy is different:

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board says it is determined to “slow the pace of global warming” but did not explain its million-dollar investment in an Indonesian coal mine. Cabinet has promised to withdraw all federal investments in coal, oil and natural gas: “We do believe climate change is happening.”

 

He might be a convicted criminal, but he is certainly not a scientist:

Recent reductions in Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions were a Covid anomaly, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said yesterday. Guilbeault added he didn’t know what portion of reductions was due to his climate change program or the recession: “What was a result of the economic slowdown?”

 

Also:

Environment minister Steven Guilbeault told MPs Tuesday he doesn’t know what will happen to the country’s carbon tax after 2030, saying the government has only planned that far.

 

 

A known liar and some unaccomplished hack promise to make Canada a destination not for commerce or tourism but for killing the vulnerable for fun: 

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says he will be speaking with the Canada Border Services Agency to make sure its staff know Americans seeking abortions can come to Canada for care.

 

Now, the American Supreme Court's potential ruling will not criminalise abortion but simply put the legal responsibility back to the states.

Not that the chubby moron knows or cares, and he certainly doesn't care that Canadians have been and are still deprived of life-saving treatments that their taxes paid for.

But, you know, dead kids.

That's the Liberals and their support for mutilating women for you.

This is Canada.

Also Canada:

By next year, Canada may have journeyed — in only seven years — from a total prohibition on euthanasia to euthanasia at an adult’s deathbed to euthanasia for mental and physical illness at any moment of an adult’s life. The speed with which we have travelled on an issue of tectonic societal significance, and the territory we have covered, should raise questions about the wisdom of our approach. Advocates say it is progress. I worry it is a runaway train.

 

It's called a slippery slope and we were all warned. 

 

Also - are Chinese made goods considered to be "slave labour"?:

Cabinet will “eradicate” slave-made imports already banned under the Customs Act, says Public Works Minister Filomena Tassi. The pledge follows the Senate’s approval last Thursday of a private bill mandating public reporting on ethical contracting by large Canadian corporations: “What are you doing in ensuring Canada is procuring ethically sourced goods?”

We need more stupid people to vote:

The House of Commons will debate lowering the federal voting age in Canada from 18 to 16 years of age on Wednesday.

NDP MP Taylor Bachrach initially introduced Bill C-210, an Act to amend the Canada Elections Act (voting age), on Dec. 13, 2021. Wednesday’s debate will be the bill’s second reading.

“We should all be concerned that voter turnout in Canada continues to be lowest among the youngest voters and this bill seeks to improve that by forming voting habits while young people are still in school,” said Bachrach at the House of Commons after introducing the bill.

“This bill is also about recognizing the rights of young people to participate in democracy,” he added.

 

Do they file federal income tax returns and pay mortgages like everyone else? 

They are slow and they are incompetent but they will never be responsible:

Amid criticisms that Nova Scotia’s Mass Casualty Commission has been far too reticent to criticize police actions amidst Canada’s deadliest mass shooting, this week the inquiry took a different focus: the role of “masculinity.”

 

Like, the lack of masculinity the RCMP showed in not hunting down a mass-killer? 

If only there was some sort of hindrance for North Korea to such things:

North Korea launched a ballistic missile toward its eastern waters on Wednesday, South Korean and Japanese officials said, days after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to speed up the development of his nuclear weapons “at the fastest possible pace” and threatened to use them against rivals.

The launch, the North’s 14th round of weapons firing this year, also came six days before a new conservative South Korean president takes office for a single five-year term.

Taiwan may have to go it alone:

Taiwan's Defence Ministry said on Monday it was considering alternative weapons options after the United States informed it that the delivery of an artillery system would be delayed due to a "crowded" production line.
