BlackRock and others form a group to try to pressure Ukraine to start repaying its debts
https://expose-news.com/2024/05/08/creditors-try-to-pressure-ukraine-to-repay-its-debts/
A group of foreign bondholders have taken steps to force Ukraine to begin repaying its debts as soon as next year, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.
If they succeed, Kiev could haemorrhage $500 million every year on interest payments alone.
The group, which includes investment giants BlackRock and Pimco, granted Kiev a two-year debt holiday in 2022, gambling that the conflict with Russia would have concluded by now.
With no end to the fighting in sight, the lenders have now hired lawyers at Weil Gotshal & Manges and bankers from PJT Partners to meet with Ukrainian officials and strike a deal whereby Ukraine would resume making interest payments next year in exchange for having a significant chunk of its debt written off, anonymous sources told the Wall Street Journal.

OPP’s “Project Aquatic” leads to over 60 people arrested in child sex abuse ring
https://tnc.news/2024/05/09/opps-60-arrested-child-sex-abuse/
Over 60 people have been arrested and more than 300 charges were laid in the wake of an online child exploitation investigation, Ontario Provincial Police confirmed on Wednesday.
Among those arrested in what OPP called Project Aquatic, was Tyler Pennells, a former Toronto Catholic District School Board employee. Pennells is one of only a handful that have been publicly named in the investigation.
Pennells was charged by Toronto police in February after allegedly using various names on social media to contact minors.
A spokesperson with TCDSB told CityNews Toronto that Pennells had been placed on administrative leave.
His next court date is scheduled for Thursday.
Another man who allegedly placed hidden cameras inside of washrooms at various coffee shops in Toronto has also been named by the OPP. Toronto native William Jeon, 29, was arrested last September after authorities discovered him to be in the possession of child pornography. Continue…
Taxpayer advocates award CBC CEO Catherine Tait with government waste award
https://tnc.news/2024/05/09/taxpayer-advocates-award-cbc-ceo-catherine-tait-with-government-waste-award/
A taxpayers group awarded CBC’s president Catherine Tait for wasting millions of taxpayer dollars.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation – a taxpayer advocacy organization – handed out its annual federal Teddy Waste Award to the CBC’s chief executive for distributing millions of dollars in bonuses as they laid off hundreds of employees.
According to documents obtained by the CTF, at the end of 2023, the CBC conferred $15 million in year-end performance bonuses to its staff.
However, this past December, the CBC announced that they would be laying off 600 employees – 10% of their workforce – to address “financial challenges.” Continue…
Sabrina Maddeaux suspends Conservative nomination bid citing “corrupted process”
https://tnc.news/2024/05/09/sabrina-maddeaux-suspends-conservative-nomination-bid/
Sabrina Maddeaux dropped out of the Conservative party nomination contest for the federal Aurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond Hill riding after what she said was a “corrupted election process” and “potentially illegal actions taken by another campaign.”
In a video and thread she posted on X, the long-time National Post columnist turned Conservative nomination contestant explained why she’s lost faith in the integrity of the nomination race.
“Despite raising concerns with the Conservative party nearly two weeks ago, despite submitting clear evidence of a corrupted process and potentially illegal actions taken by another campaign, nothing has been done,” Maddeaux said. “We asked again and again for action, but there’s been no sign that a promised internal investigation is actually underway. No next steps shared as we get closer and closer to a vote.” Continue…
Conservatives grill Mark Carney about carbon tax amidst rumours of Liberal leadership bid
https://tnc.news/2024/05/09/conservatives-grill-mark-carney-rumours-leadership/
Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney was unclear about his stance on the carbon tax while speaking as a witness before a Senate committee. However, he did call upon anyone with a “credible and predictable” alternative to the controversial tax to come forward with an idea.
Carney made his comments before a Senate committee on Wednesday, which had invited him as a witness to study Bill S-243, legislation that would require banks and other federally regulated entities to “mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change.”
The committee was discussing the Trudeau government’s federal carbon pricing policy and the administration’s general spending.
Senator Leo Housakos of Quebec pressed Carney repeatedly as to whether or not he supports “Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax,” but the United Nations’ Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance evaded the question.
Later, Carney would give a more clear response to Yonah Martin, a B.C. senator. Continue…
Ottawa’s decision to cancel flag raising ceremony fuels antisemitism: advocacy group
https://tnc.news/2024/05/09/ottawas-cancel-flag-raising-ceremony-antisemitism/
A Jewish advocacy group warns that the City of Ottawa cancelling its public ceremony for an Israel flag-raising event will further ostracize Jewish Canadians.
The City of Ottawa announced on Tuesday that the flag of Israel will be raised at City Hall on May 14, as has been tradition since 2007 on Israel’s independence day, Yom Ha’atzmaut.
However, the city has cancelled the public ceremony this year.
“This decision is based on recent intelligence that suggests hosting a public ceremony poses a substantial risk to public safety,” said the city in a press release.
Ottawa said that it must prioritize the safety of its residents, visitors and employees.
“The decision reflects a commitment to safeguarding the welfare of all Ottawa residents, while upholding principles of inclusivity and respect for diplomatic relations,” the city concluded.
Canada’s oldest human rights organization and Jewish advocacy group, B’nai Brith Canada, said that it was “deeply troubled” with Ottawa’s decision in a post to X. Comtinue…

Two Punjab men charged in death of BC Sikh leader came to Canada on student visas
https://www.rebelnews.com/two_punjab_men_charged_in_death_of_bc_sikh_leader_came_to_canada_on_student_visas
All three men, hailing from the Punjab region of India, face charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Two of the three men who were charged in connection with the death of British Columbia Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar were in Canada on student visas.
Kamalpreet Singh, 22, and Karan Brar, 22, both arrived to Canada as students from India, both receiving their visas in 2019, and both from well-off families, reports the Times of India.
“For us, everything was normal ‘til we received this shock,” said Kamalpreet Singh, the father of the third man charged in the assassination. He said he had not heard of the other two men.
All three men, hailing from the Punjab region of India, face charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the killing of Nijjar.
The murder led to diplomatic tensions between Canada and India after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly accused the Indian government of being involved in the death of Nijjar. Continue…

Top 5 outrageous demands from trans activists’ “Rainbow week of action”
https://thecountersignal.com/top-5-outrageous-demands-from-trans-activists-rainbow-week-of-action/
LGBT-related Canadian taxpayer-funded organizations are staging their biggest rallies yet against what they call increasing levels of hate, which is code for policies they don’t like.
Cue the “Rainbow week of action” that kicks off next week, but to be clear, this is unrelated to Pride month (June), Pride season (summer), ‘Trans Day of Visibility’ (March 31), Transgender Day of Remembrance (November 20), Transgender Week of Awareness (November 13—19), Transgender Awareness Month (November), Trans Parent Day (first Sunday in November), International Non-Binary People’s Day (July 14), and Pronouns Day (third Wednesday in October) — to name a few.
The organizers of the week, Society of Queer Momentum, state that “rallies are planned in 12 Canadian cities leading up to May 17, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia.”
Here are their top 5 outrageous claims and demands that are listed on their website on their “calls to action” directed to elected officials. Continue…

Chair of Rockefeller International says Canada a leader in ‘breakdown nations
https://www.westernstandard.news/news/chair-of-rockefeller-international-says-canada-a-leader-in-breakdown-nations/54448
Chair of Rockefeller International Ruchir Sharma has observed Canada to be leading the way in once great economies that are “now breaking down.”
The head of the institution that “served the Rockefeller family and institutional investors for generations” singled Canada out for its rapidly declining GDP, the inability for the nation’s young people to buy homes and its lagging in technological advancements.
In an article headlined A warning from the breakdown nations and published in the Financial Times warning nations on the “fates of former ‘model’ economies,” Sharma argues there are lessons to be learned for “current stars” on the world stage like the US and India from countries that once had thriving economies but since have shrunk.
Beginning with Canada, Sharma lists the examples of these “breakdown nations” and advises they “carry a lesson” — “growth is hard, sustaining it even harder, so the stars of today are not necessarily the stars of tomorrow.”
“It is worth looking at nations that not too long ago were billed as star performers but are now breaking down,” writes Sharma.
“Led by Canada, Chile, Germany, South Africa and Thailand.”
“All are among the world’s 50 largest economies and, so far this decade, have suffered both a sharp decline in real per capita income growth, and a fall in their share of global gross domestic product.”
“Take Canada first,” Sharma writes, recalling how Canada was once “widely admired for how it weathered the global financial crisis of 2008” but the nation “missed the boat when the world moved on, driven by big tech instead of commodities.”
Sharma notes Canada’s per capita GDP has been declining each year since 2020 by 0.4%, which is worse than any developed country in the top 50. He further attributed any new investment and job growth “being driven mainly by the government.” Continue…
