The University of Waterloo is seeking an injunction to clear an anti-Israel encampment occupying its campus and $1.5 million in damages from encampment organizers.

The legal action from the university comes after it issued the encampment a trespass notice last Friday.

In a statement, the university said the encampment, which has been occupying its campus since May 13, is “in violation of Waterloo policies, and the law.”

Carbon tax to cost economy $12 billion in 2024, $30 billion per year by 2030: CTF

https://tnc.news/2024/06/27/carbon-tax-cost-economy-12-billion/

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax continues to accrue massive costs for the Canadian economy.

The carbon tax will cost the Canadian economy $11.9 billion in 2024, costing each Canadian an average of $295 in lost GDP, rising to $30 billion by 2030, or $678 per person, according to calculations by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

“The economic cost is the difference between what the GDP would be without the carbon tax minus the projected GDP with the carbon tax,” said Gage Haubrich, the CTF’s Prairie director.

The calculations come just weeks after the Liberals released carbon tax data they had previously kept secret, just moments before a motion compelling them to do so was to be debated in the House of Commons.

The complexity of the data led to various interpretations, which is why it took the CTF weeks to calculate. The Conservatives had previously issued a release claiming the tax would cost Canadians $30.5 billion by 2030, or $1,824 per person.

The Conservatives claimed that Trudeau had been hiding these figures for years, only deciding to release it once Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux testified that the Liberals had him under a gag order. Continue…

Feds to investigate newly appointed human rights commissioner over antisemitism allegations

https://tnc.news/2024/06/27/feds-investigate-human-rights-commissioner-antisemitism/The Trudeau government is opening an investigation into its newly appointed head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission after allegations of past anti-Israel activism.

The appointment of Birju Dattani, the former head of the Yukon territory’s human rights commission, has come under fire over a history of comments and activities accused of being antisemitic.

In 2015, he shared a stage with a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, an Islamic fundamentalist group.

Dattani spoke at a series of “Israel Apartheid Week” events at British universities, promoting the boycott, divestment, and sanction of Israel, or what’s known as the BDS movement.

“Workers should boycott Israel and Israeli goods,” Dattani was quoted saying at the protest by the News Line, a Marxist outlet.

Dattani also protested outside the Israeli embassy in London as crowds reportedly chanted, “Zionism is terrorism” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” in 2012.

“We have become aware of potentially troubling statements attributed to Mr. Dattani as well as events he participated in while he was a graduate student in London, England a decade ago,” a spokesperson for Justice Minister Arif Virani told National Post in a statement. Continue…

Liberals divided over allowing illegal immigrants to remain in Canada, Miller says

https://tnc.news/2024/06/27/liberals-divided-over-illegal-immigrants-canada/Immigration Minister Marc Miller says the federal government will not yet be pursuing a potential federal program that would give immigrants in Canada illegally the right to stay amid backlash within its own party.

Miller presented the proposed program to cabinet last week, which was met with strong opposition from some MPs, the minister said in an interview with the Globe and Mail.

The program would offer former international students whose study permits have expired and rejected asylum claimants an application process to remain in Canada.

However, no such program has been finalized as the discussion between ministers remains ongoing and divisive. Miller said in the Globe interview that it may take months before anything is introduced.

In the meantime, Miller has chosen to take a pause on the matter as “views that I respect, people that care about these issues that are radically opposed and diametrically opposed, and not necessarily from people that (you) would necessarily think would have that thought process,” he said.
