Niagra Falls Declares State of Emergency to Prepare for Total Solar Eclipse

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/niagra-falls-declares-state-emergency-prepare-total-solar/

Canada’s Niagra Falls region has declared a state of emergency to prepare for the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8th.

In a press release, Niagra Regional Chair Jim Bradley said he issued a state of emergency “out of an abundance of caution.”

Bradley continued in the press release, “Declaring a State of Emergency under the EMCPA strengthens the tools the Region has at its disposal to safeguard the health and safety of residents and visitors and protect our critical infrastructure in any scenario that might arise.”

Ontario Mayor Jim Diodati is expecting the Canadian side of Niagra Falls to receive over one million visitors on the day the eclipse is set to occur, which is the main reason why Niagra officials decided to issue a state of emergency a week in advance before the solar eclipse is set to occur.

U.S. Investigator on 60 Minutes: Russia is Behind ‘Havana Syndrome’ Attacks on More Than 100 U.S. Officials — They are Believed to be “Wounded by a Secret Weapon Firing a High-Energy Beam of Microwaves or Ultrasound” Causing a Mysterious Brain Injuries

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/u-s-investigator-60-minutes-russia-is-behind/

The Gateway Pundit cannot confirm or deny the accuracy of this report. Given the volume of propaganda being disseminated by the Biden regime and the media, we advise our readers to exercise critical thinking and personal judgment when interpreting news and reports. It is crucial, now more than ever, to independently evaluate the information available and make informed decisions based on your own discernment of the truth.

The joint investigation by 60 Minutes, The Insider (Russian news website), and Der Spiegel (German news website) released evidence suggesting the involvement of Russian intelligence unit 29155 in the attacks believed to be caused by a secret weapon.

In an explosive report aired by 60 Minutes, in collaboration with The Insider and Der Spiegel, shocking allegations have surfaced, implicating Russia in the mystifying ‘Havana Syndrome’ that has afflicted over a hundred U.S. officials with enigmatic brain injuries.

The syndrome has been described as a paralyzing force from an invisible weapon, speculated to be a high-energy beam of microwaves or ultrasound.

Founder and editor-in-chief of The Insider, Roman Dobrokhotov, declared the investigation’s findings as “mind-blowing” in the history of their reporting. Continue…

Scotland Imposes Fascist ‘Hate Crime’ Law, Those Found Guilty Face Seven Years in Prison

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/scotland-imposes-fascist-hate-crime-law-those-found/

Scotland’s fascist “hate crime” law has gone into effect today, meaning the government will be able to freely prosecute individuals they deem to be running afoul of the rules.

The bill, approved by the country’s Muslim and openly anti-white First Minister Humza Yousef, represents one of the broadest and most shameless crackdowns on free speech in the Western world:

Turkey After 22 Years — Secular Party Surpasses Ruling Party for First Time Sparking Nationwide Celebrations (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/erdogans-islamist-party-suffers-historic-defeat-mayoral-elections/

The political landscape of Turkey has undergone a seismic shift after Sunday’s local elections.

The main secular opposition, the Republican People’s Party (CHP), seized control of key cities and broke President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Islamic-oriented Justice and Development Party (AKP) ‘s 22-year rule.

The CHP not only retained its hold over Istanbul and Ankara but also extended its influence to traditionally AKP-dominated provinces.

With over 90% of the votes counted, Istanbul’s incumbent Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu (CHP) and Ankara’s Mayor Mansur Yavas (CHP) celebrated resounding victories, indicating a substantial change in the public’s sentiment towards Erdogan’s rule, AP reported.

The AKP, in contrast, witnessed its support plummet nationwide, garnering only 36% of the votes against the CHP’s 37%.

This electoral triumph extends the CHP’s dominion to 36 of Turkey’s 81 provinces. This result marks the party’s poorest showing since Erdogan co-founded it in 2001 and ascended to power the following year. Continue…

Russia Demands Ukraine Arrest and Hand Over SBU Head Vasyl Malyuk, After He Admits on TV Role in Terror Attacks

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/russia-demands-ukraine-arrest-hand-sbu-head-vasyl/

Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has come out and unveiled Moscow’s demand that Ukraine authorities hand over all people connected with terrorist acts committed in their territory.

The list surprisingly even includes the head of Kiev’s SBU Security Service, Vasyl Malyuk.

Besides the recent ‘bloody Crocus terrorist act’, the attacks in question include bombings that killed the daughter of a prominent nationalist philosopher, a war blogger, and another incident in which a writer was seriously hurt.

While the investigation by the Russian authorities indicate that the traces of all these crimes lead to Ukraine, in the case of Malyuk there is a voluntary admission on TV.

“We will not officially admit this in any way, but at the same time I will tell you some details,” he said in an interview with a Ukrainian TV channel.

These Are The Top 20 Countries Where Older People Are The Happiest

https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/these-are-top-20-countries-where-older-people-are-happiest

The newest global happiness index doesn’t have any massive surprises from the ongoing trends of the last decade: Europe generally does the best, Africa is still finding its footing, and Asia and South America have vast rank disparities between constituent nations.

However, as the World Happiness Report notes, happiness levels differ across age groups, and countries’ overall ranks tend to obfuscate how the old and young feel separately. To counter this, the report also creates a happiness index by age.

In the follow graphic, Visual Capitalist's Pallavi Rao visualizes the top 20 happiest countries according to those aged above 60. For comparison, we have also included a country’s overall index rank. Continue…

Canada Following China's Path? Bank Accounts Linked To Obedience Scores

https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=6786

Our neighbors to the north are implementing a new system called "open banking" that will link citizen's bank accounts to a new social credit scoring system.

In the aftermath of the Trucker Convoy and other noteworthy protests against coronavirus restrictions in Canada, the Justin Trudeau regime is radicalizing the nation's banking system to make it much harder for citizens to express their voices against political corruption.

Proponents of the social credit score-linked banking paradigm say it will make Canadian banks more "inclusive," allowing them to easily access user data on demand while being able to share information with one another.

A World Bank partner called Open Banking Excellence (OBE), which originated in the United Kingdom, is proudly boasting right now that it will incorporate social credit scores with people's banking information in Canada. Canadians will likely receive digital "cash" and identification in a "convenient," all-in-one and "inclusive" place.

"It's about having that fairer, more inclusive, more open society," said OBE founder Helen Child, making sure to use all the popular buzzwords to make her project sound like a dream come true for the world.

Canada is not alone, the United Nations is unleashing it's "Global Digital Compact" to create a global social credit scoring system for everyone eventually.

Top Microbiologist: ‘Life-Threatening’ Covid Shots Are ‘Greatest Blessing’ for ‘Infinitely Evil’ Global ‘Elites’

https://slaynews.com/news/top-microbiologist-life-threatening-covid-shots-greatest-blessing-infinitely-evil-global-elites/

One of the world’s leading microbiologists has testified that Covid mRNA shots are “life-threatening” to humans and warns that pushing the injections onto the public only benefits “infinitely evil” global “elites.”

Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi issued the warning during testimony before lawmakers in the German Parliament.

“The vaccination turned out to be the greatest blessing for the money and world’s elites, for the pharmaceutical industry and politics,” Bhakdi declared.

“They could pursue their own interests, under the common slogan ‘Everything for public health,’ ‘everything for the well-being of the general public.’

“To achieve this goal, they created the WHO [World Health Organization].

“These non-democratically elected people, basically a private association that is in the process of gaining power over the healthcare system in the 190 Member States.” Continue…

Bank of Canada warns low productivity will lead to further inflation

https://tnc.news/2024/04/01/bank-of-canada-low-productivity/

The Bank of Canada is warning that the country is at risk of facing even higher inflation if the economy continues to see low productivity.

“An economy with low productivity can grow only so quickly before inflation sets in. But an economy with strong productivity can have faster growth, more jobs and higher wages with less risk of inflation,” said Carolyn Rogers, senior deputy governor for the central bank during a speech in Halifax on Wednesday.

Rogers added that other catalysts of inflation include Canada’s rapidly changing demographics, global tensions and the impacts of climate change.

Canada’s productivity has steadily been in decline since the 1980’s when compared to the United States. Continue…

Freeland announces Canada-wide free birth control scheme

https://thecountersignal.com/canada-free-birth-control/

Over Easter weekend, Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland announced the Trudeau government’s plans to tax Canadians into paying for ‘free’ nationwide, on-demand birth control for women across Canada.

“In the upcoming federal budget, we will be delivering free contraceptives through our national pharmacare plan,” Freeland told constituents of the University–Rosedale riding.

“As a proudly feminist government, we take freedom of choice seriously. That freedom should not come with a cost,” she continued. “As women’s reproductive rights are challenged in other parts of the world—including just south of the border—it is more important than ever for us to ensure that Canadian women have access to contraception. Today, tomorrow, and the day after that.

“This is every woman’s fundamental right. It’s a fundamental human right for women. Not being able to control your body means you don’t control your life. And that’s not okay.” Continue…

Trudeau celebrates ‘Trans Day of Visibility’ on Easter Sunday

https://thecountersignal.com/trudeau-celebrates-trans-day-of-visibility-on-easter-sunday/

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau celebrated ‘Trans Day of Visibility’ during one of the most holy Christian days of the year.

On Easter Sunday, the PM posted to social media: “A note to every trans Canadian on #TransDayofVisibility: You matter. You belong.”

“It’s because of your advocacy that we’ve passed laws to make our country more inclusive — from banning conversion therapy to strengthening protections against anti-trans hate,” he said.

The PM concluded: “So, thank you. Thank you for being your authentic self — and for helping to build a world where everyone can feel safe and proud to be, too.”

A number of Canadian social media users expressed shock and dismay at the Prime Minister’s message.

“Today is EASTER SUNDAY…you offend every Christian with your virtue signaling,” X user Judy Maxine said.

Jagmeet forces Trudeau to hijack school jurisdiction from provinces

https://thecountersignal.com/jagmeet-forces-trudeau-to-hijack-school-jurisdiction-from-provinces/

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pledged a $1 billion investment over five years into a new national school food program amid a rising cost of living crisis and increase in hungry Canadian children.

Trudeau said the investment will ensure children can focus on learning rather than hunger, and that the program will build a “stronger economy.”

The announcement comes days after the NDP called for such a program, leading some to speculate that it was part of the NDP-Liberal’s supply-and-confidence agreement that Trudeau must uphold to protect himself from an early election.

“When it comes to a national food program, which we promised in our 2021 election, we recognize that every province and territory has its ways of delivering food programs to kids, but we also know the need is far greater than anyone is able to meet right now,” Trudeau told reporters on Monday.

The Prime Minister said the federal funding will allow an additional 400,000 poverty-stricken Canadian children to ” have fuller bellies,” on top of the number of hungry children who already get fed through provincial and regional programs that are already in place.

“There are still needs that are unmet. So we look at it as a federal responsibility to step up and try and make sure even more kids have opportunity to have safe healthy food in their in their schools,” he said.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said the federal program should start in the fall.

EU prosecutors take up Von der Leyen corruption probe – Politico

https://www.rt.com/news/595247-eu-von-der-leyen-corruption-probe/

Investigators are reportedly looking into private text messages between the European Commission president and the CEO of Pfizer

The EU’s top prosecutors have taken over an ongoing corruption investigation into European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Politico reported on Monday citing an unnamed spokesperson for the Liege Prosecutor’s Office in Belgium.

The probe relates to the purchase of nearly two billion Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine doses for the EU at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. The prosecution claims the EC chief negotiated the multi-billion-euro deal with the pharmaceutical giant’s CEO, Alber Bourla, in private via text messages before clinical trials for the vaccine were completed.

Von der Leyen has refused to disclose the content of those messages, claiming she cannot find them.

Investigators from the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO), who have been working on the case for the past few months, reportedly believe that Von der Leyen may be guilty of “interference in public functions, destruction of SMS, corruption and conflict of interest,” according to legal documents seen by Politico.

Despite the allegations and von der Leyen herself admitting that she privately communicated with Bourla for nearly a month before signing the nearly €20 billion ($21.5 billion) deal, no formal charges have yet been brought against the EC chief. Continue…

World Bank issues Ukraine bankruptcy warning

https://www.rt.com/business/595212-ukraine-bankruptcy-world-bank/

The country’s public finances are in a “catastrophic” state, a source from the organization has told TASS

Ukraine could go bankrupt as early as next year unless Western countries agree to write off or restructure its debts, an official from the World Bank told TASS on Saturday.

Kiev is reliant on financial aid from its Western backers but foreign support has dwindled in recent months, while a $60 billion US aid package remains stalled in Congress.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, was commenting on the latest $1.5 billion tranche of funding which Kiev received last week under a World Bank program. According to the source, the World Bank’s division representing Russia voted against the loan, citing the organization’s charter.

The draft document on the allocation of the funds “openly” points to the “catastrophic” state of Ukraine’s public finances due to an economic downturn and a reduction in foreign aid, the official told the outlet.

“If in 2025 Western creditors refuse to write off Kiev’s debts, including the debts of private companies and banks, the country could face bankruptcy,” he warned. Continue…

Canadian man's tweet over 'misgendering'

https://thepostmillennial.com/elon-musks-x-takes-legal-action-against-australia-for-demanding-removal-of-canadian-mans-tweet-over-misgendering

“X is withholding the post in Australia in compliance with the order but intends to file a legal challenge to the order to protect its user's right to free speech."

Social media platform X has announced that it will be initiating legal action against the Australian government after a contentious demand from the country's E-Safety Commissioner to remove a post from its platform.

The dispute arose when Chris Elston, also known as "Billboard Chris," received a notice from Australia's eSafety Commissioner requesting the removal of a post. Elston, a Canadian resident, had made comments referring to a transgender-identifying Australian activist by their biological pronouns, along with other critics.

The activist in question, Teddy Cook, identifies as a man despite being biologically female and has been an advocate for taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries in Australia. Despite being appointed to a World Health Organization expert panel, Cook has made several shocking posts on social media. According to the Daily Mail, Cook’s now-private social media was filled with content such as public nudity, bondage parties, trans orgies, and bestiality.

Despite this, the Australian eSafety Commissioner turned its focus on Elston, deeming his post as "deliberately degrading” in a letter.

“An ordinary reasonable person in the position of the Complainant would regard the Material as being offensive,” the letter said.

But Elston refused to take down the post, arguing against what he perceived as assumptions made by the Australian government regarding his intentions.

“I do not hold that woman in contempt for her transgender identity, because I maintain that gender identities do not exist,” Elston stated. Continue…

Arbitrator rules Toronto hospital had no grounds to fire unvaccinated staff

https://www.westernstandard.news/news/arbitrator-rules-toronto-hospital-had-no-grounds-to-fire-unvaccinated-staff/53493

The Humber River Hospital in Toronto wrongfully terminated two of its employees for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, Labour arbitrator Jasbir Parmar has ruled.

Represented by their union in the arbitration process, Stacy Hughes and Marisol Sanchez, both part-time hospital clerical staff since 2017 and 2016 respectively, alleged they were terminated without just cause pursuant to the hospital’s mandatory vaccination policy, legal documents show.

The mandate was instituted in December 2021, with all staff required to submit proof they had accepted the COVID-19 jab by January 17, 2022.

Employees who fail to comply “will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination,” the policy stated.

Hughes and Sanchez were put on a two-week unpaid leave of absence and were given a February 3, 2022, deadline to get the shots or face termination.

Neither of them complied with the vaccine mandate, and they were unceremoniously fired.

Though the former staff do not contest the fact that there was a policy, the “union does not concede that the hospital’s policy, in its entirety, is reasonable,” states the legal documents.

“The union submits that no discipline is appropriate, because, based on long-standing, well-established legal principles, employees cannot be disciplined for exercising their right not to consent to medical treatment and/or the disclosure of private medical information to the Hospital.” Continue…

Liberals refuse to spend on highways in Canada; CPP goes full speed ahead on building roads in India

https://www.westernstandard.news/news/liberals-refuse-to-spend-on-highways-in-canada-cpp-goes-full-speed-ahead-on-building-roads-in-india/53495

The Trudeau government won't invest in Canadian road expansion but the Canadian Pension Plan is expanding highways in IndiaCourtesy Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Although the Liberal Environment Minister Steven Gilbeault has mused he won't spend money for more Canadian roads, the Canadian Pension Plan is putting millions into such projects in India.

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) and the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) have an ongoing investment in an infrastructure trust sponsored by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).

In late March, the CPPIB and OTPP announced a new capital raise, contributing $297 million and $298 million, respectively. Their total respective investments stand at $614 million and $606 million.

“Our follow-on investment in [the trust] deepens our commitment to this highly scalable platform, which has an important role to play in the continued expansion of the Indian road network,” said James Bryce, CPP managing director in a press release.

In a separate release, Debapratim Hajara, managing director of infrastructure and natural resources Asia-Pacific at the Ontario Teachers’, said OTPP is glad to continue investing in high-quality Indian roads.

“The country’s road ecosystem is an important driver in supporting India’s economic growth and we are delighted to continue our partnership with the NHAI," Hajara said.

According to its website, the CPPIB's mandate is to maximize profits and minimize risk as it invests its $590 billion in assets.

"CPP Investments is guided by an independent Board of Directors, operates at arm’s length from federal or provincial governments, and is managed independently from the CPP itself," the site explains. Continue…
