My wife went in to AFIB Tuesday morning for the first time. She went to the ER and was later moved to Intensive Care. To make a long story short she has been put on a Butt Ton of drugs, one of which is Eliquis. This drug should have been on the Generic Market years ago but for some reason is not. The lowest price near us that I can find is about $550 for a 30 day supply. This is forcing me to consider getting it from Canada by mail. Looking briefly I see some pharmacies in Canada offering...

The minority Liberal government has struck a deal with Bloc Québécois to “eliminate long-standing Criminal Code safeguards for freedom of expression and religious freedom in exchange for the Bloc supporting Bill C-9,” according to the National Post. Currently, the law exempts hateful or antisemitic speech if it based in good faith on the interpretation of a religious text, but that immunity is set to be removed. Additionally, the Liberals are expected to back off plans to eliminate the need for a provincial attorney general’s sign-off to pursue a hate-propaganda prosecution. The removal of the religious exception clause is being driven...

Rare supercar was bought by Toronto jeweler accused of laundering millions for drug kingpinAt $11.9 million US, the agreed-upon price for the Mercedes was steep. But the buyer — an alleged money launderer for a transnational criminal network — was accustomed to dealing in eye-watering sums. CBC News has uncovered new details about the purchase last year of a rare Mercedes-Benz supercar, recently seized by the FBI amid its investigation into Canadian fugitive Ryan Wedding. This spectacular seizure, thought to be the most valuable vehicle ever confiscated by U.S. federal authorities, made headlines around the world. After all, the roofless...

In a major geopolitical realignment that could have far-reaching consequences and further strain the already troubled US-Canada relationship, Ottawa has joined the European Union’s Security Action for Europe (SAFE) initiative. Canada will be the first non-EU country to join the ambitious security plan, part of the EU’s broader “ReArm Europe” or “Readiness 2030” initiative. Meanwhile, despite frantic negotiations stretching over weeks, the UK failed to join the initiative. Talks on the UK joining the SAFE fund ended without agreement last week. The move will give Canada access to a €150 billion (US$170 billion – CAD 244 billion) low-interest loan scheme...

Are you digging the World War Two analogies? Everyone's the new Hitler, because he's the only historical figure anyone's ever heard of. At their Monday-night poker game in hell, that no-name Jap guy must be wondering why he's chopped liver, but it's probably racist to bring that up. World War Two "presupposes there was a World War One, right?" - as the late William Henry III claimed to have heard an American college student formulate it. No one knows anything about that either, but it left almost all the great empires in ruins, and thus bequeathed us the dawn of...

A week after The Catholic Register in Canada revealed that pro-life advocate Alissa Golob went undercover while 22 weeks pregnant to test whether late-term abortions were accessible in Canada without medical justification, the national response continues to intensify, with a new twist: a fourth hidden-camera video that Golob says she is legally barred from releasing. Golob, co-founder of RightNow, posed as an undecided pregnant woman in abortion facilities in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary in 2023. The Nov. 19 Register story detailed her conversations with clinic counselors and physicians who told her late-term abortions could be arranged at nearby hospitals,...

A record 16,499 people died by euthanasia in Canada in 2024, accounting for 5.1% of all deaths in the country. According to the latest report on “medical assistance in dying” (MAiD) from Health Canada released at the end of last month, there was a 6.9% increase in state-assisted deaths in Canada in 2024. In 2024, although assisted suicide is permitted, in which the person who wishes to end their own life self-administers the lethal substance, there was not a single case of assisted suicide. Instead, every single person who died under Canada’s MAiD programme died by euthanasia. In 2023, there...

Repaired cracks cover the walls of every large New York Thruway rest stop near Rochester, according to a recent News10NBC investigation. The damage is visible at sites like Clarence, Pembroke, and Clifton Springs — all finished in 2023. The walls were built by Nexii, a Canadian company promoting eco-friendly materials. Applegreen, the Irish firm that rebuilt 27 rest stops with private funding, says the cracks aren’t a safety concern and repairs are ongoing. No toll or tax money funded the construction, officials confirmed.

Security and police let a lot of things go at Nathan Phillips Square and in Jewish neighbourhoods but seemed to the throw the book a disabled patriot who was playing national anthem on the same square Toronto was raising the Palestinian flag Monday. If Scott Youmans had been hitting a rock of crack cocaine or mainlining fentanyl or heroin, not only would Toronto City Hall security guards have allowed it, but someone would ensure he had a clean pipe or needle to do it. But they wouldn’t let him play O Canada over his portable sound system Monday in Nathan...

An e-mail obtained by an anti-euthanasia advocate reveals that veterans of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are being encouraged to attend euthanasia seminars. Key Takeaways: Canada has become a world leader in assisted suicide since legalizing it in 2016. Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) is now the fifth-leading cause of death in Canada. Veterans have claimed they are being offered euthanasia when they try to obtain health care. Now, it appears police veterans are likewise being encouraged to pursue MAID. The Details: Kelsi Sheren, combat veteran and CEO of Brass & Unity, recently obtained a copy of an e-mail...

Explanation: Orbiting 400 kilometers above Quebec, Canada, planet Earth, the International Space Station Expedition 59 crew captured this snapshot of the broad St. Lawrence River and curiously circular Lake Manicouagan on April 11, 2019. Right of center, the ring-shaped lake is a modern reservoir within the eroded remnant of an ancient 100 kilometer diameter impact crater. The ancient crater is very conspicuous from orbit, a visible reminder that Earth is vulnerable to rocks from space. Over 200 million years old, the Manicouagan crater was likely caused by the impact of a rocky body about 5 kilometers in diameter. Currently, there...

Germany, France, Canada, and Belgium are among 12 nations that signed on to the “Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change,” documenting the so-called “threats” that free speech and the free press pose to what U.S. President Donald Trump refers to as the climate “con job.”Signed at the United Nations’ COP30, the UN’s annual climate confab, the declaration marks the first time that “information integrity” has been on the docket for COP’s Action Agenda.The rise of independent media, social media, and the internet has created a source of non-establishment news that has elevated legitimate criticism of the so-called man-made climate-change...

In early October, Canada's Liberal government kicked off it's long-delayed compensated confiscation efforts with a test run in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The goal of the "buyback" effort is to take thousands of lawfully purchased semi-automatic firearms from their rightful owners. While the Liberal government has called the scheme "voluntary," anyone caught possessing one of the banned firearms after the government's amnesty period expires risks criminal charges. Because of Canada's restrictive gun laws, the government had a list of about 200 "assault weapons" in the Cape Breton area, as well as the names of their owners. One official expressed confidence...

Teachers fended off a grizzly bear that attacked a school group walking along a trail in British Columbia, Canada, on Thursday, officials said. "The group had stopped along a trail near the community when a grizzly bear emerged from the forest and attacked," Inspector Kevin Van Damme of British Columbia’s Conservation Officer Service, said in an update on social media. "Teachers successfully repelled the bear using pepper spray and a bear banger."

Right Angle News Network @Rightanglenews BREAKING - Waves of Democrat influencers are being exposed as foreigners under X’s new location update, including leftist X agitator Alex Cole, who claimed he voted for Kamala but has now been revealed to be Canadian.

Yesterday, I wrote about the fact that Canada is being overrun by migrants. Almost half of all births are now to foreign-born mothers (42% currently, and rising), and one-third of the overall population is foreign-born. One of the many terrible consequences of the liberal policies that have resulted in this replacement of the native population is stagnating economic growth. Migration, of course, is not the only cause of this stagnation. Energy policies, housing policies, and all sorts of government meddling in the economy are at fault as well, but it is undeniable that replacing a high-trust first-world citizenry with people...

U.S. Vice-President JD Vance made a series of posts criticizing Canada’s political leadership, public broadcaster and immigration system, saying our living standards are “stagnating” because of all the “foreign-born” people living here. “While I'm sure the causes are complicated, no nation has leaned more into ‘diversity is our strength, we don't need a melting pot, we have a salad bowl’ immigration insanity than Canada,” he said. …“With all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you...

Don't call it the "great replacement," because that would be horrifically racist and show you to be a white supremacist Nazi who should, of course, be shot in the street by a transgender furry pro-Hamas "diversity is our strength" and "be kind" warrior. But, since I am a hermit who spends all his time in front of a keyboard, and too old to care about being called names, I will risk the furry's wrath and point out the obvious. The whole point of the mass migration being forced on us is to replace the current citizenry and especially the culture...

New research reveals the religious views of Americans and Canadians and who's more supportive of politicians talking about their faith in public, and which country's population is more engaged in acts of service. The non-partisan think tanks Cardus and the Angus Reid Institute released a report Wednesday contrasting the religious views of Americans and Canadians. The research, based on responses collected from 5,001 Americans and 5,001 Canadians in March and first published earlier this month, found that Americans are significantly more religious than their Canadian counterparts. When asked if they agreed that religion was “very important” in their “day-to-day life,”...
