Flights at Vancouver International Airport have returned to schedule after a weekend of more than 200 delays caused by staffing shortages at Canada’s air traffic control agency.

The Vancouver International Airport (YVR) recorded 219 flight delays and 23 cancellations over the weekend due to staffing shortages at Nav Canada, YVR spokesperson Reena Gacad Kirkpatrick told The Epoch Times. Nav Canada said earlier this year there was a severe shortage of air traffic controllers who help manage 18 million square kilometres of Canadian airspace.

In a statement to The Epoch Times, Nav Canada confirmed the delays at YVR on June 28 and 29 were due to “resource constraints related to staffing,” but said that as of the afternoon of June 30, staffing levels were sufficient to support normal operations.

Only one flight has been cancelled since the afternoon on June 29 as a result of Nav Canada staffing shortages, according to the airport, with the rest being due to airline-specific issues.

“We understand and regret the impact that air traffic flow restrictions and delays have on the flying public, our airline partners, and airport authorities,” Nav Canada spokesperson Maryam Amini told The Epoch Times. “We are leaving no stone unturned in our effort to add capacity where possible.”

Nav Canada added it is seeing progress in its recruitment of qualified staff, with more than 450 air traffic services professionals, including about 230 air traffic controllers, having received qualification since September 2023. However, it noted that the rigor of the training process makes it difficult to accelerate recruitment. Continue…

First Shipment of LNG Canada Leaves BC Terminal for Asia

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/first-shipment-of-canadian-lng-set-to-leave-bc-terminal-for-asia-5880279?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_cnt=b

An inaugural liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo left the new LNG Canada facility in Kitimat, B.C., on June 30, marking the first-ever large scale LNG shipment from Canada’s West coast to Asian markets.

The 291-metre long and 46-metre wide GasLog Glasgow tanker chartered by Shell and operating under Bermuda’s flag left the Kitimat terminal with the cargo for its 10-day journey to northern Asia. Following the LNG being pumped onto the tanker, tugboats will take the vessel approximately 300 kilometres through the Douglas Channel to the open ocean.

The Kitimat export terminal is Canada’s first large-scale facility to begin operations, with the rest targeted to open between 2027 and 2030. Construction on the $18 billion LNG Canada terminal in Kitimat began almost seven years ago and is one of seven LNG facilities under development in Canada, all of which are located in B.C.

LNG Canada is a joint venture company between Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation, and KOGAS. The company website describes the LNG facility as “a long-life asset,“ adding that its 40-year export license ”enables us to initially export up to 14 million tonnes of LNG per annum.”

Kitimat is a small town of roughly 8,200 people located approximately 200 kilometres east of Prince Rupert, B.C. LNG Canada constructed the Cedar Valley Lodge to accommodate its workers, housing as many as 4,500 people. It also provides bus transport to the worksite to reduce local traffic.

Roughly 300 workers will be required to run operations at the site. LNG Canada is also considering a second phase of construction to double export capacity to 28 million tonnes a year. Continue…

Scammers Impersonating High-Ranking Officials, Executives to Steal Money, Information: Canadian Cyber Security Officials

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/scammers-impersonating-high-ranking-officials-executives-to-steal-money-information-canadian-cyber-security-officials-5880853?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_cnt=b

Scammers are using artificial intelligence to impersonate government officials and prominent public figures to steal money and information from Canadians, security officials say.

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security have issued a joint advisory warning of a “spike in malicious cyber activity” involving scammers who use text messages and AI-generated voice messages to target their victims.

“Threat actors” are using AI and social engineering techniques such as vishing and phishing to impersonate senior public officials and business executives with the aim of stealing money, sensitive information, or both, Cyber Centre spokesperson Janny Bender Asselin told The Epoch Times in an email.

Vishing, short for voice phishing, involves fraudulent phone calls or voice messages intended to deceive victims into revealing sensitive information. Phishing is a similar tactic, but it is executed through emails or other forms of text-based communication.

“In one case, a fraudulent message appearing to come from a U.S. official requested a large transfer of money under the pretence of an urgent government-related matter,” Asselin said, but she declined to say who the recipient was or if the money was transferred to the scammer.

She also declined to comment on the specific government officials or executives being impersonated or targeted by the cyber scam. Continue…

What Does Canada Day Mean to You This Year? Canadians Speak Out

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/what-does-canada-day-mean-to-you-this-year-canadians-speak-out-5879845?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_cnt=b

At the state level, pride in the True North and what it means to be Canadian has undergone dramatic changes in recent years.

Freshly in office in 2015, former Prime minister Justin Trudeau famously said the country is a “postnational state” with “no core identity.”

Then in 2021, some indigenous groups reported ground-penetrating radar scans had detected possible human remains near former residential schools, including in Kamloops, B.C. The reported findings, cited by some media as unmarked mass graves of children, led to the cancellation of Canada Day celebrations in some cities and renewed criticism of Canada’s past by media commentators and political leaders.

Flags remained at half mast for several months, and the situation didn’t change much even as news emerged that at the few sites that did undergo excavations, no remains of children were found.

But then came a major reversal on the proud-to-be-Canadian front. In November 2024 amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and 51st-state comments, Prime Minister Mark Carney was elected on a “Canada strong” and “elbows up” platform. A movement to buy Canadian and promote Canada suddenly sprang up, and the flag was seen on branding, billboards, and flying from vehicles.

Major parties and the media widely celebrated National Flag of Canada Day on Feb. 15, and, post-election, Carney said in his victory speech, “Who’s ready to stand up for Canada with me?”

Then came the rising secessionist sentiments in the West after the re-election of the Liberals in the federal election. For years, Alberta and Saskatchewan have been opposed to federal legislation impacting their oil and gas sectors, as well as policies dealing with personal freedom issues, such as gun control.

How are Canadians taking all of these shifts and what’s the mood on the streets ahead of July 1?

Polls have shown that over the years, pride in Canada has been declining sharply. An Angus Reid survey published in December 2024 showed that while in 1985, 78 percent of Canadians said they were “very proud” of Canada, that number had dropped to 34 percent by 2024.

Just ahead of this year’s Canada Day, that number had rebounded slightly, with an Angus Reid survey released on June 27 saying 43 percent of Canadians are “very proud” of Canada.

The Epoch Times asked Canadians from different backgrounds and regions what Canada Day means for them this year amid recent years’ upheavals. Continue…

Why Canada Ordered Chinese Surveillance Company Hikvision to Shut Down Operations

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/why-canada-ordered-chinese-surveillance-company-hikvision-to-shut-down-operations-5880686?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_cnt=b

Explainer

Hikvision, the Chinese company that was ordered by Ottawa to shut down Canadian operations last week, has been mired in a number of security issues for years.

The company’s products have been banned by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for posing an “unacceptable risk” to national security and the security and safety of Americans. Likewise, its cameras have also been subject to restrictions on use by U.K. government departments over its connections to the Chinese regime.

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly, in a social media post late last Friday, announced Ottawa had ordered Hikvision to cease all operations in Canada and close its business in the country over national security concerns.

She said the government had concluded the firm’s continued operations in the country would be “injurious to Canada’s national security,” following a “multi-step review” based on evidence from Canada’s security and intelligence community. She also said the company’s products would be banned from government departments, agencies, and Crown corporations.

Following Joly’s announcement, the Chinese Embassy in Canada took to social media, calling the move an “overstretching” of the concept of national security to “discriminate against and suppress Chinese enterprises.” It also called for a “fair, just and non-discriminatory environment” for Chinese enterprises to operate.

What is Hikvision and why is it being flagged by the government of Canada? Continue…

Ottawa Removes All Federal Exceptions in Canada ​​Trade Pact for Smoother Interprovincial Trade

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/ottawa-removes-all-federal-exceptions-in-canada-trade-pact-for-smoother-interprovincial-trade-5880839

Ottawa has eliminated all interprovincial trade barriers that fall under its jurisdiction, Internal Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland has announced.

The federal government is removing all of the remaining federal exceptions from the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) that had been inhibiting free trade between the provinces, Freeland said in a June 30 press release.

The government announced the elimination or narrowing of 17 of its federal barriers in July 2024, and Prime Minister Mark Carney removed an additional 20 CFTA exceptions in February, but there were still several exceptions in place.

The government’s June 30 announcement removes all remaining trade obstacles, Freeland said. The bulk of the 53 abolished exceptions are associated with federal procurement guidelines related to financial entities, commercial land development, transportation services, and space projects.

“Removal of all federal exceptions in the Canadian Free Trade Agreement is one of the many recent measures we are taking … to eliminate internal trade barriers and cut red tape for Canadian businesses,” she said.

“We are moving quickly on commitments to improve labour mobility for workers across the country, implement mutual recognition agreements to get goods and services moving, and [remove] duplication of requirements which for too long have created extra costs and delays for Canadian businesses and workers.” Continue…

He tried to report vaccine injuries — and realized it was putting his patients in more danger.

After submitting adverse event reports, he discovered Public Health never filed them.

Instead, they called his patients directly — told them their reactions weren’t real…

…and ordered them to get another dose.

This wasn’t safety monitoring.

It was gaslighting.

Even Tylenol gets flagged in your chart after a bad reaction.

But for these shots? They buried the report — and doubled down.

This is malpractice. Documented. Continue…

Genetic DNA Surveillance Is Building A Massive Big Brother Database With No Oversight On Privacy!!

https://odysee.com/@PressForTruth:4/Genetic-DNA-Surveillance-VIDEO:8

A relatively new investigative technique called IGG (investigative genetic genealogy) involves the collection and analysis of DNA, through private DNA databases where samples are collected by undercover police to aid in their investigation.

While investigative genetic genealogy is a valuable tool for solving crimes and bringing closure to grieving families, there are no clear laws for how police can use it, and under what circumstances. This raises significant privacy and human rights concerns.

In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth covers some of these concerns that if left unchecked could lead to a massive big brother DNA database with absolutely zero regard for genetic privacy!
