OP-ED: Church leaders must rebut false residential school claims – not just repent

https://tnc.news/2024/02/01/op-ed-church-false-residential-school-claims/

The German pastor, theologian, and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer reportedly said that “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

From the middle of the 1930s, Bonhoeffer was trying to wake the German Lutheran Church to the impending crisis that eventually resulted in the Holocaust. In fact, he spent his last couple of years trying to bring the German church to oppose the genocide. Bonhoeffer was hung by the Nazis about a month before the war ended.

Is Bonhoeffer’s warning relevant to Canada?

Many Canadians seem to believe that employees of the churches that managed most of the Indian Residential Schools (IRS) engaged in genocide against Indigenous children.

The Chief Commissioner of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), Justice Murray Sinclair, told host Matt Galloway on the CBC radio program The Current that between 15,000 and 25,000 Indigenous children are missing from these schools. In Justice Sinclair’s mind, a genocide had taken place.

Even more damning, the House of Commons, including members of all political parties, passed a motion by NDP MP Leah Gazan that claimed that the IRS system was a genocide against Indigenous children.

No evidence was presented, but the motion passed unanimously without debate. Continue…

Controversial Chilliwack school trustee gets blasted by American comedian JP Sears

https://www.rebelnews.com/controversial_chilliwack_school_trustee_gets_blasted_by_american_comedian_jp_sears

Sears walked his viewers through some of the district's Vice Chair, Carin Bondar’s online commentary including her stating 'boys having sex with boys and girls having sex with girls is completely natural' while wearing a 'legalize everything t-shirt.'

It has become increasingly common for strong conservative commentators in the United States to shed light on dark doings being normalized across Canada.

It's as if such voices feel compelled to serve Americans a warning: "If it can happen in Canada, it could happen in our country too."

The latest addition to the international caution list is none other than Chilliwack British Columbia School District 33’s Vice Chair, Carin Bondar Continue…

Federal government paid out $210 million in bonuses last year

https://www.rebelnews.com/federal_government_paid_out_210_million_in_bonuses_last_year

Federal managers and executives received huge bonuses almost across the board while Canadians struggle with a cost-of-living crisis.

Most departments in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's federal government gave out bonuses to over 90% of executives or management, with Trudeau's bureaucrats in the Privy Council Office receiving performance compensation at the highest rate of all departments, 97%.

The data was uncovered in a government response to an order paper inquiry posed by Conservative MP Eric Melillo. However, CBC did not answer the order paper question, so the state broadcaster's executive bonuses remain a mystery.

Despite plummeting viewership and 800 pre-Christmas layoffs at the state broadcaster, CBC CEO Catherine Tait would not rule out taking a performance bonus of her own during her appearance before the House of Commons' heritage committee.

Tait's annual salary is pegged between $458,500 and $539,400, and can expect a bonus each year of 28%.

CBC receives approximately $1.3 billion in annual federal subsidies. However, CBC is not the only federal agency rewarding people to oversee failure. Continue…

Community safety concerns mount as Cobourg becomes the epicentre for a low-barrier shelter

https://www.rebelnews.com/community_safety_concerns_mount_as_cobourg_becomes_the_epicentre_for_a_low_barrier_shelter

Cobourg's low-barrier shelter raises concerns as Transition House faces criticism and community urges active engagement for resolution.

Cobourg’s proposed low-barrier shelter, set in a former nursing home, raises community concerns as it will be managed by a registered charity facing criticism for poorly run shelter services. Safety, appropriateness and the low-barrier designation prompt ongoing community worry.

Northumberland County, which serves as an upper-tier municipality, has acquired an old nursing home at 310 Division Street in Cobourg, Ontario for 2.3 million dollars in an attempt to quell the housing, homelessness and drug crisis faced by the town.

Located just one block away from an elementary school, the building will be sold back to the existing emergency shelter called Transition House, which will relocate into the 35-bed facility.

Transition House is a registered charity said to have a monopoly on shelter services within the sprawling rural county – spanning 1900 square kilometres with a population of almost 90,000.

It’s further claimed that their existing 18-bed shelter space and control of the adjacent warming room in a local church basement are poorly run, with services inadequately delivered. Continue…

Foreign Interference Commission Inquiry Day 3: Public hearing remarks that Canada’s intel agencies are far less transparent than U.S., U.K. and Australian counterparts.

Canada's intelligence and surveillance agencies have a culture leaning towards excessive classification of information and "overprotection", former Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) Director Richard Fadden said during the third day of the first phase of the Foreign Interference Commission's (FIC) public hearings on Wednesday, in Ottawa, ON.

The growing concern over Canada's Vaccine Injury Support Program

https://www.rebelnews.com/the_growing_concern_over_canadas_vaccine_injury_support_program

Tamara Ugolini joins Sheila Gunn Reid for a look at a recent Rebel News access to information filing which showed some concerning issues with the federal vaccine-injury support and compensation program.

A recent Rebel News access to information filing uncovered how Canada's Vaccine Injury Support Program has been funnelling millions of dollars meant for victims towards high-priced consultants.

The program, setup during the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine rollout, was allocated a budget of $32.3 million. But as Tamara Ugolini reported, "just $12 million of that was dedicated to the victims of the 'safe and effective narrative'," with the remaining $20.3 million going to a consulting firm.

Tamara joined Sheila Gunn Reid on last night's episode of The Gunn Show for a further discussion about the concerning developments revealed by the program.

Reflecting on the coercive vaccine mandates and threats towards Canadians from the government, Tamara said told Sheila how this was a mixed message — and how Rebel News will continue covering this issue: Continue…

European Union set to launch naval mission to Red Sea to deal with the Houthis

https://www.rebelnews.com/european_union_set_to_launch_naval_mission_to_red_sea_to_deal_with_the_houthis

Josep Borrell, the EU foreign policy chief, announced that the mission, involving naval assets from at least seven EU member states, aims to initiate operations in the Red Sea within the next three weeks

The European Union is preparing to deploy a significant naval mission to the Red Sea in an effort to curb attacks on cargo ships by the Houthi group, which is based in Yemen and receives support from Iran.

Josep Borrell, the EU foreign policy chief, announced that the mission, involving naval assets from at least seven EU member states, aims to initiate operations in the Red Sea within the next three weeks, the Daily Wire reported.

“This is the purpose: protection of the ships,” Borrell said. “Intercepting of the attacks against the ships. Not participating in any kind of action against the Houthis. Only blocking the attacks of the Houthis.”

The mission's primary objective is to ensure the safety of ships by intercepting and preventing attacks, without engaging in direct combat actions against the Houthi forces. Borrell emphasized the defensive nature of the operation, focusing solely on protecting maritime activities from assaults.

France, Italy, and Greece are among the countries being considered to lead this naval operation, as reported by the Associated Press. Continue…

Persian Canadians and their allies stage a Toronto rally clamouring for regime change in Tehran – and Ottawa

https://www.rebelnews.com/persian_canadians_and_their_allies_stage_a_toronto_rally_clamoring_for_regime_change_in_tehran_and_ottawa

Despite the death toll, the Liberals have yet to label the IRGC for what it is: a terror group.

Recently at Mel Lastman Square in Toronto, hundreds of mostly Persian Canadians gathered to stage a peaceful demonstration.

Their message was two-pronged. First, they condemned the murderous mullahs in Tehran for continuing to execute Iranian citizens – typically young people – either for having the temerity to protest the government, or in the case of women, violating the dress code.

Secondly, the demonstrators Rebel News interviewed were unanimous in their disdain for the Justin Trudeau Liberals who still refuse to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist group. It was the IRGC that deliberately shot down a Ukrainian airliner four years ago. Of the 176 innocent civilians killed on that doomed flight, 55 were Canadians and 30 were permanent residents.

Despite the death toll, the Liberals have yet to label the IRGC for what it is: a terror group. This inaction by the Liberals is equal parts inexplicable, outrageous, and egregious. Continue…

Harvesting Discontent: The Global Farmer’s Revolt

https://www.truth11.com/untitled-1428/

An agricultural revolution, farmers uprising worldwide, seeking to seed change…

Kristian James | 21st Century Wire

When the ancestors of modern humans began to observe the cycles of plants, understanding the rhythm of the environment, and started utilizing the seed to plant the next crop. This knowledge solidified the formation of the beginning of agriculture. The end of roaming and hunting for food, the decision to gather together, and to prepare and wait for the success of good crops. Thus, farming developed as a skill integral to the development of all worldwide societies, defined by thousands of years of learned cultivation under the belts of countless generations, the ability to feed yourself and grow abundance, and also the ability to sell and trade. This is the very basis and crux of the world economy.

As we enter 2024, the year of the Dragon, Earth’s population has surpassed 8 billion, and the vital role of farming in sustaining the global populace should be of paramount importance. However, the nature of resource distribution across regions remains uneven, posing challenges to the self-sufficiency of nations. Amidst this backdrop, Europe is an agricultural haven with its rich, fertile soils, relatively stable geology, and temperate climates. Such favourable conditions provide European farmers with the unique opportunity to cultivate a diverse array of grains, fruits, and vegetables. Moreover, Europe’s present commitment to a top-down initiative to install sustainable green policy farming practices throughout the Union, albeit with elements that are at odds with one another. For instance, conservation initiatives and eco-friendly approaches on the one hand with the expectation of more goods and economic value on the other.

Because of this, European countries find themselves perhaps intentionally battling between bureaucracy, legislation and national food sovereignty, leading many farmers to reach a crescendo in a public display of slow-moving rallies and muck spreading on the doors of government offices. In the best interests of all, it is crucial that when farmers speak, we all lend our ears and pay attention. Continue…

Turmoil In Kiev Escalates As Ukraine Loses Ground To Russia

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/turmoil-kiev-escalates-as-ukraine-loses-ground-russia/

There is a slew of reports that Friday will be General Zaluzhny’s last day as the head of Ukraine’s Armed Forces. I don’t know what will happen. I cannot rule out that the press reports are an information operation based on wishful thinking. Then again, it may be real. I plan on doing a podcast tomorrow around noon to talk about what transpired in the Ukraine soap opera. Kudos to Alex Christoforou for dubbing this “Days of Kiev.” An homage to the legendary U.S. soap, Days of Our Lives. There is no one alive and involved in the U.S. Government who was part of the lethal clown show in Vietnam that led to the overthrow of President Diem. Is it possible that the term, Zelensky, is Ukrainian for Vietnam’s Diem? We’ll see.

IMF Approves New Funds for Milei’s Argentina, Praises Ambitious Plans, Recognizes ‘Difficult Inheritance’ From Peronist Socialists

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/imf-approves-new-funds-mileis-argentina-praises-ambitious/

During the Presidential Elections campaign in Argentina, it was enraging to see the no-nonsense mainstream economic theories of the economist Javier Milei treated like ‘radical and dangerous ideas’, while the socialist-Peronists, whose idiotic policies put 40% of the country below the poverty line treated like ‘the sensible choice’.

So while I may not be the greatest fan of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), it is a welcome development that they openly and unambiguously support the heroic struggle by Milei to rebuild the destroyed Argentine economy.

The IMF has just approved the most recent review of its $44 billion program with Argentina – allowing for a new payment of $4.7 billion. Continue…

EU Finally Approves New Ukraine Aid – Did Orbán Fold, Or Did He Get the Concessions He Wanted?

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/eu-finally-approves-new-ukraine-aid-did-orban/

The European Union has finally managed to approve 50 billion Euros ($54 billion) in new aid to Ukraine, to be paid on the course of the next 3 years.

While that does give Ukraine somewhat of a life-line in their floundering war effort, the MSM chose to focus their coverage, instead, on the fact that the decision would be a big defeat for Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán.

But was it, really? Let’s examine: Orbán wanted the aid to be paid in yearly tranches, not upfront (check), he wanted the EU to re-discuss it every year (check), wanted the aid decision to be reviewed in 2 years (check).

Sounds like he got it all. There were also other promises of a more symbolic nature.

Let’s take a look at how the MSM Globalist cheerleaders are talking about it, as the European Union hopes they would be sending a message to the United States to keep backing Kiev in the war against Russia.

Steve Bannon: I Will Be Shocked If There Are No Criminal Referrals for What Victoria Nuland and Others Have Done in Other Countries in the Name of the American People (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/2-6-4/

The Gateway Pundit’s Richard Abelson revealed in August 2023 how Victoria Nuland and the Biden regime were responsible for the overthrow of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The Biden Regime is behind the overthrow of Pakistan’s democratically elected Prime Minister Imran Khan, explosive diplomatic cables reveal. Revolver News’ Darren Beattie charges that Color Revolution insurrectionist Victoria Nuland, who is also to blame for the Ukraine Coup 2014 and the current horrific war, orchestrated the coup.

On March 7, 2022, Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Donald Lu and Deputy Assistant Secretary Lesslie Vigueri met with Pakistan’s ambassador to the U.S. Asad Majeed Khan in Pakistan House in Washington D.C., and threatened U.S. sanctions unless Prime Minister Imran Khan is ousted. The Pakistani side comprised Deputy Chief of Mission Syed Naveed Bokhari and the defense attaché, The Dawn reports.

The next day, March 8, the Pakistani National Assembly voted to remove Khan.

On March 27, Imran Khan produced the diplomatic cipher, showing US demands to remove Khan in a coup. As early as 2021, Imran Khan had accused Victoria Nuland and the Biden administration of trying to oust him. Ironically, Khan was investigated in October 2022 over daring to reveal the diplomatic cipher’s evidence of a “foreign conspiracy,” The Dawn reported, and banned from running for re-election.

Imran Khan is a former cricket star turned Pakistan’s most popular politician, who had taken a neutral stance on the Ukraine War after the Russian invasion Feb. 24, 2022. In November 2022, Imran Khan was the target of an assassination attempt at a political rally, in an attack that wounded him and killed one of his supporters. In May 2023, he was arrested for corruption by paramilitary troops who smashed their way into the Islamabad High Court. On August 5, 2023, he was sentenced to three years in jail.

Unbeknownst to the American public – The Biden regime has been working behind the scenes to plot wars, and blow up pipelines, and pay off Iranian mullahs, and set up secret biological labs, and overthrow Pakistani leaders, and meddle in Israeli politics – and the list goes on and on and on…

And, quite often, Victoria Nuland’s name seems to appear in the mix.

On Thursday, Steve Bannon invited Darren Beattie from Revolver News on The War Room.

Steve Bannon discussed what was next for Victoria Nuland and the Color Revolution folks when President Trump returns to office. Continue…

‘Le Petit Roi’: Protesting French Farmers Cook Sausages in Open Fires – Revolt Spreads to Brussels During EU Summit

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/le-petit-roi-protesting-french-farmers-cook-sausages/

Supposedly ‘progressive’ French President Emmanuel Macron starred in a regrettable scene reminiscent of the darkest days pre-Revolution, when Marie Antoinette reportedly said of the people: ‘They don’t have bread? Let them eat cake’.

Telegraph reported:

“While French farmers continued to lay siege to Paris, Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, attended a lavish gala dinner in Stockholm in the company of the King and Queen of Sweden.

King Carl Gustaf, Queen Silvia and the rest of the family spared no expense at a banquet with the president and first lady at Stockholm Palace.”

The feast took place right as French farmers camped out on motorways, ‘eating sausages cooked on open fires as part of their protest journey to Paris’.

“With the Nordic country close to achieving Nato status following the invasion of Ukraine, Mr. Macron said ‘My visit is to renew our friendship, our partnership in the European Union, and as Sweden prepares to join Nato, our alliance’. Continue…

Criminal FDA Declares Informed Consent Null and Void

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-02-01/criminal-fda-declares-informed-consent-null-and-void

If we’ve learned one thing over the last three years, it’s that abiding by centuries-old medical ethics, like asking questions, is what White Supremacists™ and domestic terrorists do.

Via the soon-to-be-memory-holed American Medical Association webpage on informed consent:

“Informed consent to medical treatment is fundamental in both ethics and law. Patients have the right to receive information and ask questions about recommended treatments so that they can make well-considered decisions about care. Successful communication in the patient-physician relationship fosters trust and supports shared decision making.

The process of informed consent occurs when communication between a patient and physician results in the patient’s authorization or agreement to undergo a specific medical intervention.”

That was then.

This is now, when respecting the Science™ requires that you shut your filthy masked mouth and do whatever corporate media news actors and Public Health™ technocrats tell you to do.

Via Federal Register:

“The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is issuing a final rule to amend its regulations to implement a provision of the 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act). This final rule allows an exception from the requirement to obtain informed consent when a clinical investigation poses no more than minimal risk to the human subject and includes appropriate safeguards to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of human subjects. The final rule permits an institutional review board (IRB) to waive or alter certain informed consent elements or to waive the requirement to obtain informed consent, under limited conditions, for certain FDA-regulated minimal risk clinical investigations.”

Branch COVIDians surely don’t care about any of this, as they gave up long ago exercising their former right to be fully informed of medical experimentation risks anyway. In fact, they brag about their ignorance and apathy and doglike obedience as if they are virtues.

"This Is Not Friendly" - Bret Weinstein Shows Tucker Carlson How China & The UN Are Driving The Invasion Of America

Iraqi Parliament Is Calling To Ditch US Dollar For Oil Trade

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/iraqi-parliament-calling-ditch-us-dollar-oil-trade

The Finance Committee in the Iraqi parliament made a statement on Wednesday calling for the sale of oil in currencies other than the US dollar, aiming to counter US sanctions on the Iraqi banking system.

"The US Treasury still uses the pretext of money laundering to impose sanctions on Iraqi banks. This requires a national stance to put an end to these arbitrary decisions," the statement said. "Imposing sanctions on Iraqi banks undermines and obstructs Central Bank efforts to stabilize the dollar exchange rate and reduce the selling gap between official and parallel rates," it added.

The Finance Committee affirmed its "rejection of these practices, due to their repercussions on the livelihoods of citizens," and reiterated its "call on the government and the Central Bank of Iraq to take quick measures against the dominance of the dollar, by diversifying cash reserves from foreign currencies."

Washington imposed sanctions on Iraqi Al-Huda Bank this week, under claims of laundering money for Iran. Several other banks have been hit with similar sanctions over the past year. Continue…

Israel defeats Hamas in Khan Yunis, over 10,000 Gazan terrorists killed

https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-784787

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that after additional gains by the IDF in Khan Yunis, 10,000 Hamas fighters have been killed and 10,000 wounded.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced on Thursday night that Hamas forces in Khan Yunis have been officially defeated.

He said that after additional gains by the IDF in Khan Yunis, 10,000 Hamas fighters have been killed and 10,000 wounded, up from around 9,000 killed and around 8,000 wounded around a week and a half ago.

If true, along with the close to 2,500 Hamas terrorists who have been arrested, the percentage of Hamas forces out of commission would now be up to between 56-75%, up from 48-64% around 10 days ago, presuming Hamas' forces pre-war were between 30,000-40,000. Continue…

Iran Begins Construction of New Nuclear Power Plant - Reports

https://sputnikglobe.com/20240202/iran-begins-construction-of-new-nuclear-power-plant—reports-1116546452.html

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Mohammad Eslami, announced the start of construction of a new nuclear power plant (NPP), which is in line with the country's initiative to upgrade nuclear energy generative capacity to 20,000 megawatts, Iranian state-run news agency IRNA reported on Thursday.

The Iran-Hormoz NPP with a capacity of 5,000 megawatts, will be built in Sirik city, located in the southern coastal province of Hormozgan, Eslami was cited as saying.

The project was given the green light by Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi along with 157 other initiatives in the field of industry and energy.

Russia is currently building the second power unit of the Bushehr nuclear power plant — the largest joint Russian-Iranian project — which is located in southeastern Iran along the Persian Gulf coast.

The first NPP unit, completed in cooperation with Russia, was connected to Iran's national power grid in September 2011, while a contract for the construction of the third power unit has already been signed.

Zelensky Wants Zaluzhny Out Over Alleged Effort to Pursue Ceasefire With Russia - Hersh

Volodymyr Zelensky wants to remove Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny from his post because of his alleged involvement in secret talks with Western officials about pursuing a ceasefire with Russia, US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh reported.

On Monday, Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksiy Goncharenko said, citing sources, that Zaluzhny was allegedly ordered to resign. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry and Zelensky's spokesman denied the claims.

"Zelensky’s desire to fire his commanding general is the result, some Americans believe, of his knowledge that Zaluzhny had continued to participate - whether directly or through aides is not known - in secret talks since last fall with American and other Western officials on how best to achieve a ceasefire and negotiate an end to the war with Russia," Hersh said on Thursday.

Putin Envisages Building A New Veteran-Led Russian Elite

Russia and China unite over US bioweapons threat

https://www.rt.com/news/591678-china-russia-us-biological-activities/

The two countries have pledged to collaborate in confronting dangers posed by the Pentagon’s “biological activities”

The Russian and Chinese governments have held an inter-agency meeting in Beijing to share their assessments of biological security concerns, and address the threats posed by bioweapons – particularly those allegedly being developed by the US military.

Moscow and Beijing agreed to work together in seeking to strengthen the Biological and Toxic Weapons Convention (BTWC), a treaty signed by 109 nations in 1972 to block the development of these unconventional armaments, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday in a statement.

“The meeting confirmed the unity of approaches of Russia and China to the biological security,” the ministry said, adding that “particular attention in this context was paid to the military and biological activities of the United States.”

“The need for further close coordination and constructive interaction both in bilateral format and at relevant multilateral fora, primarily within the framework of the BTWC, the UN and the SCO [Shanghai Cooperation Organization] was noted,” the ministry added. Continue…

Russia changes mandatory Covid-19 vaccination rules

https://www.rt.com/russia/591676-mandatory-covid-vaccination-rule-change/

Health and education workers will no longer have to take regular shots against the virus

The Russian Health Ministry has significantly relaxed its requirements for compulsory vaccination against Covid-19, declaring most people will no longer have to regularly take shots against the disease.

The previous regulations, adopted by the ministry in 2021, demanded almost everyone undergo a mandatory vaccination in case of an epidemic threat, with health and education workers given “top priority” on this list, along with those suffering from chronic diseases, the elderly, and anyone living in cities with a population exceeding one million.

https://www.activistpost.com/2024/02/russia-begins-building-15-minute-cities.html

A new Russian city called Dobrograd is being built in the Vladimir Region of Russia. It is being built according to the concept of a 15-minute city, where everything necessary for a person to survive is within a 15-minute walking distance.

Judging by the information on the website, construction of this has been underway for a year already.

These cities are nothing short of enslavement. And yet the public at large still hasn’t figured out what the ruling classes are doing to them and Dobrograd is not the only one, according to a Substack article by Redko Da Metko.

Dobrograd is not the only one. On Sberbank’s website, you can find a detailed presentation of another “smart city,” and the title of the article hints at the same 15-minute city model from the World Economic Forum. Continue…

Liberals delay assisted suicide for people with mental illness to 2027

https://tnc.news/2024/02/01/liberals-delay-assisted-suicide-mental-illness/

The federal government has tabled legislation delaying the expansion of the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program, to people with mental illness by three years.

Health Minister Mark Holland and Justice Minister Arif Virani said that the delay to 2027 was introduced to allow time for a parliamentary review to take place.

A review to assess its state of readiness will take place in two years, they said.

The delay is in response to MPs and Senators on a special committee stating that Canada is not prepared to proceed with the expansion of the MAID program, following an examination of it.

“We agree with the conclusion that the committee has come to that the system is, at this time, not ready and more time is required,” Holland told reporters. Continue…

Media using “weaponized” language against Israel: watchdog

https://tnc.news/2024/02/01/media-weaponized-language-against-israel/

Journalists’ loaded language about Israel’s war with Hamas is obscuring the legal and political realities on the ground.

That was the message of experts assembled for a Tuesday webinar hosted by Honest Reporting Canada, which touts itself as “an independent grass-roots organization promoting fairness and accuracy in Canadian media coverage of Israel and the Middle East.”

The panel, titled War Crimes: Blowing Up Media Distortion, was moderated by Honest Reporting Canada chairman Jonas Prince and featured 40-year Israel Defence Forces veteran and former chief of staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kohavi and international law expert Natasha Hausdorff. Continue…

Canada “founding member” of org to reduce fertilizer emissions globally

https://tnc.news/2024/02/01/canada-founding-member-reduce-fertilizer-emissions/

Canada has joined a global group to cut fertilizer emissions.

Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay declared Canada as a “founding member” of the Efficient Fertilizer Consortium, an initiative spearheaded by the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research. Canada joins a group of 11 other nations, including the United States and United Kingdom.

In his announcement, MacAulay pledged approximately $1.3 million over four years to support the public-private partnership aimed at funding research to curtail fertilizer emissions globally.

“By joining the Efficient Fertilizer Consortium, we’re helping ensure that our farmers and producers are well-equipped to make informed decisions that are good for the environment and their bottom line,” said MacAulay.

“International collaboration is vitally important to addressing global food security and putting healthy and affordable food on tables right across Canada.”

Canada set a target in 2020 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with fertilizer use by 30% below 2020 levels by 2030. However, questions have arisen regarding the feasibility of this target.

While the Canadian government insists the target is voluntary and doesn’t mandate farmers to reduce fertilizer use altogether, some researchers argue otherwise. Continue…

Ratio’d | Farmer Protest TAKES OVER all of Europe!

https://tnc.news/2024/02/01/rhf-farmer-protest-europe/

Farmers continue to protest in huge numbers across Europe against excessive climate policies and regulations, which threaten their livelihoods. Farmers descended on Brussels today to send a message to EU leaders who were meeting in the Belgian capital for a leaders’ summit.

What began with Dutch farmers last year and with German farmers last month has now taken over the continent as farmers in Poland, Lithuania, Italy, Spain, Scotland and Greece have also joined in to voice their opposition to the globalist climate agenda that specifically targets farmers.

These policies, which have brought so much hardship to European farmers, appear to be the envy of the Canadian government. As True North exclusive reporting uncovered in 2022, Canada sought to replicate the EU’s climtae policies on Canadian farmers.

Brampton bylaw inspection finds 25 students crammed in illegal basement unit

https://tnc.news/2024/02/02/brampton-bylaw-inspection-students-crammed-basement/

How many international students can you fit into a Brampton basement apartment? Twenty-five, city bylaw inspectors have found.

A recent inspection by the Greater Toronto Area city’s bylaw department discovered a startling case of overcrowding and substandard living conditions where 25 international students were crowded into a basement unit.

The students were residing illegally in the cramped space, shedding light on the larger issue of renters being exploited by unscrupulous landlords in the city, according to Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown.

“Right now, we see international students living in fire traps, extremely dangerous living conditions. And if the colleges took the time to build student housing, we wouldn’t have that issue,” Brown said. Continue…

Ford government doesn’t need to disclose cabinet mandate letters, Supreme Court rules

https://tnc.news/2024/02/02/ford-government-mandate-letters-supreme-court/

Mandate letters issued to Ontario cabinet ministers can remain confidential and are not subject to freedom of information requests, the Supreme Court has ruled.

The saga goes back to 2018 when a CBC journalist requested access through provincial freedom of information laws to the mandate letters Premier Doug Ford sent to cabinet ministers. Mandate letters are documents outlining ministerial priorities. Some governments opt to release them proactively, but the Ford government did not and fought against disclosure through the freedom of information process.

The Ford government claimed the letters were protected by cabinet confidence as they would reveal the “substance of deliberations.”

CBC appealed the refusal to disclose to the Information and Privacy Commissioner, which rejected the Ontario government’s characterization that the mandate letters were exempt from disclosure.

The decision by the privacy commissioner to order the release of the letters was upheld on judicial review and at the Court of Appeal for Ontario, but these decisions were overturned by Friday’s Supreme Court decision. Continue…

EXCLUSIVE: None of the feds' promised funding to combat foreign election interference has been spent

https://www.rebelnews.com/exclusive_none_of_the_feds_promised_funding_to_combat_foreign_election_interference_has_been_spent

Just before cutting funding to UNRWA, the Liberals sent $25 million in Canadian funding to the UN aid agency, whose employees participated in the October 7 terror attack on Israel, which left 1,200 dead and 240 kidnapped.

Nearly $50 million was set aside in the last Liberal budget to protect Canadians from harassment and intimidation by hostile foreign entities and to increase the capacity of the RCMP to investigate such crimes.

Similarly, $13.5 million was committed to Public Safety Canada to establish a National Counter-Foreign Intelligence Office.

However, an inquiry into Public Safety posed by Conservative MP Zaid Aboultaif forced the ministry to admit that not a penny of the allocated funding had been transferred to the ministry to investigate and prevent foreign interference.

Conservative MPs Kenney Chui and Alice Wong reportedly lost their seats to an organized China-led effort to defeat them and elect Liberals Parm Bains and Wiilson Mao.

The slow walking of funds meant to combat foreign interference contrasts with the usual speed the Liberals used to disperse cash to Hamas-linked organizations on the ground in Gaza. Continue…

'Fact checkers' funded by Meta, Omidyar, and Soros accused of targeting lawful farmer protests with 'disinformation' labels

https://www.rebelnews.com/fact_checkers_funded_by_meta_omidyar_and_soros_accused_of_targeting_lawful_farmer_protests_with_disinformation_labels

This initiative, known as Correctiv, has come under fire for allegedly engaging in smear campaigns against individuals and groups involved in lawful protests concerning pressing economic, social, and political issues, as reported by Reclaim The Net.

A coalition of organizations, including the Omidyar Network, George Soros' Open Society Foundations, and Meta, is embroiled in controversy over their sponsorship of a fact-checking initiative in Germany.

This initiative, known as Correctiv, has come under fire for allegedly engaging in smear campaigns against individuals and groups involved in lawful protests concerning pressing economic, social, and political issues, as reported by Reclaim The Net.

Germany has been experiencing significant economic strain, exacerbated by the government's decision to cut off access to affordable gas to pursue its 'net zero' agenda. This move has severely impacted various sectors, with farmers among the hardest hit.

The fallout from these policies has sparked mass protests by farmers, while political efforts are underway to ban the AfD party, both of which have been pejoratively labeled as right-wing conspiracy theorists, COVID misinformation spreaders, and even supporters of foreign governments.

Correctiv, which positions itself as a news and fact-checking site, is financed not only by Omidyar, Soros, and Meta but also receives funding from the German government itself. Continue…

Trudeau gov’t budgeted $198 million to enforce COVID mandates on federal employees

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/trudeau-govt-budgeted-199-million-to-enforce-covid-mandates-on-federal-employees/

The Liberal government under the leadership of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau budgeted $198.6 million on their federal workplace vaccine mandate even though 95 percent of staff were already vaccinated.

The Trudeau government budgeted more than $199 million to enforce COVID vaccine mandates on federal employees.

According to information published February 1 by Blacklock’s Reporter, the Liberal government under the leadership of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau budegted $198.6 million on their COVID-era federal workplace vaccine mandate even though 95 percent of staff were already vaccinated.

“Total authorities available for the Policy on COVID-19 Vaccination for the core public administration including the RCMP were $85.7 million and $112.9 million in 2021 and 2022 respectively,” Treasury Board President Anita Anand wrote in an Inquiry of Ministry.

According to the Inquiry, the number also included $19.2 million for “procuring, warehousing and distributing COVID-19 rapid tests across the core public administration.”

“This allocation also included funding for legal services,” it added without further providing details.

Beginning November 2021, the Trudeau government mandated that a total of 275,983 employees from the RCMP, military and main federal departments provide proof of vaccination.

Those who failed to do so risked dismissal or suspension without pay. While there were provisions for medical and religious exemptions, these were rarely granted. According to internal information, at the time of the mandates 95 percent of employees had already received the COVID vaccine.

When the federal mandate was lifted in June 2022, 2,560 employees had been suspended without pay for refusing to show proof of vaccination.

Conservative Members of Parliament (MPs) questioned why the cost of the mandate was so high and pressed for details as to what the funds were used for.

“Treasury Board officials told us it was for rapid testing purchases and distribution,” Conservative MP Kelly McCauley (Edmonton West) told the House of Commons in 2021.

“The Treasury Board website shows there are about 3,400 unvaccinated employees,” he added. “That works out to about $24,000 per employee for rapid testing.”

“At $24,000 per employee, who is providing these rapid tests? Is it SNC-Lavalin?” McCauley questioned, referring to a bribery scandal involving the large Canadian engineering firm SNC-Lavalin and the Trudeau government. Continue…

Canadian Pizza Hut closes down due to ‘unforeseen circumcisions’

https://thepostmillennial.com/canadian-pizza-hut-closes-due-to-unforeseen-circumcisions

The unfortunate typo went viral online.

A Pizza Hut in the small northern Ontario community of Timmins has gone viral after locals spotted what was almost certainly a typo on a notice posted to the front door.

The notice informing prospective customers that the restaurant would be closed for dine-in that evening said the decision was made due to "unforseen circumcisions," not "unforeseen circumstances," as is typically the case.

The image, which appears to have been captured by Timmins resident Christine Hewey, first appeared on a Facebook group for the town. Continue…
