Canadian leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday issued a statement on his official Twitter account describing the U.S. Supreme Court’s overruling of Roe v. Wade as “horrific,” Canada’s National Post reported. “The news coming out of the United States is horrific,” Trudeau wrote on June 24. “My heart goes out to the millions of American women who are now set to lose their legal right to an abortion. I can’t imagine the fear and anger you are feeling right now.” “No government, politician, or man should tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. I...

Justin Trudeau has said that unvaccinated people have to deal with the "consequences" of their choice which include being subjected to Canada's travel restrictions. During an interview with CBC Radio's The House that's airing on June 25, the prime minister opened up about his thoughts on people who are unvaccinated and Canada's vaccine mandates. "It was their choice and nobody ever was going to force anyone into doing something they don't want to do," Trudeau said about people who aren't vaccinated against COVID-19.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday announced he tested positive for covid, just four days after he met with President Joe Biden at the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles. Trudeau, who attended the summit with his wife Sophie, said he is vaccinated and boosted. He will be isolating and feels 'okay.' 'I've tested positive for COVID-19. I’ll be following public health guidelines and isolating. I feel okay, but that’s because I got my shots. So, if you haven’t, get vaccinated - and if you can, get boosted. Let’s protect our healthcare system, each other, and ourselves,' he...

Amidst his push to freeze handgun purchases in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that the right to self-defense with a gun does not exist in Canada. Trudeau told the left-wing podcast “Pod Save America” that in Canada guns can be used for hunting or recreational shooting, but not self-defense. He made these comments when comparing Canadian gun culture to that in the United States. “We have a culture where the difference is, guns can be used for hunting or for sport shooting in Canada, and there are lots of gun owners, and they’re mostly law-respecting and law-abiding, but you...

Fresh off of last week’s decision to implement a sweeping ban on handgun sales, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doubled down and decried ‘American-style’ views on gun ownership while arguing that Canadians have no right whatsoever to use guns for self-defense. From Trudeau: “There are debates, and we have a culture where the difference is. Guns can be used for hunting or for sport shooting in Canada – and there are lots of gun owners, and they’re mostly law-respecting and law-abiding – but you can’t use a gun for self-protection in Canada. That’s not a right that you have in...

TORONTO—An embarrassing crime wave has taken Toronto by storm as criminals, emboldened by Canada's ban on handguns, have begun holding up businesses armed with nothing but finger guns. Tim Hortons, a popular Canadian cafe, is reportedly among the hardest hit. Authorities confirm that the cashiers of Tim Hortons are routinely held at finger-point and forced to empty hundreds of dollars into cartoonish money bags. By the time police arrive on the scene the robbers are long gone. "It's absolutely terrible," said Constable Evans. "Since these thieves are using finger guns there's no chance of them leaving additional evidence at the...

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's proposed freeze on pistol sales has pushed some Canadians to rush out to gun stores while they still can Aman Sandhu checked store after store for a handgun in Canada's British Columbia, hoping to make a purchase before a freeze on sales takes effect, but struggled to find one in stock. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's proposed freeze on pistol sales--which he announced in the wake of a series of high-profile mass shootings in the United States--has pushed some Canadians to rush out to gun stores while they still can. While Sandhu is keen to buy a...

Rates of tickets issued per 100,000 residents show that the city's Hasidic Jewish community faced severe curfew enforcement by Montreal police. For five months during Quebec's COVID curfew, Rebel News was out sounding the alarm about the targeted harassment from Montreal police towards the city's Hasidic Jewish population. Organizations that claim to stick up for Jews were silent. The only time the public heard from these so-called Jewish groups was when they decided to condemn Jews for calling a police officer a Nazi as he was harassing Hasidic Jews at a synagogue, targeting them for observing their religious obligations. Well...

"Get the hell out of our town!"

Alghabra says government decision is based on science and data Transport Minister Omar Alghabra is giving no indication his government plans to drop its masking requirement for air and train passengers in Canada in the near future. "We constantly consult our experts and whenever the advice we receive changes because the circumstances change, we will change our regulation," he said Tuesday. But for now, it is what it is" His comments came after a federal judge in Florida stuck down a Biden administration requirement that passengers wear face coverings on airliners and mass transit...

Since being elected, Singh has accomplished next to nothing and consistently votes in support of any Liberal measure of substance.... Chosen as leader at a time when the NDP had over 40 seats, Singh has managed to win no more than 25 in either the 2019 or 2021 elections. A drop of over 40 per cent in a party’s seat count should result in any leader being shown the door, but Singh has skated freely on.... Singh is by far the most invisible politician the Vancouver suburb has seen in some time.... No message, no connection and no community involvement...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal minority government has reached a deal with the New Democratic Party (NDP) to stay in power until 2025. In exchange, the Liberals will support the left-leaning NDP on several of the party's key priorities in parliament. Mr Trudeau said on Tuesday that he believes the agreement will provide "stability" for Canadians. The move has been strongly criticised by Canada's Conservative Party. Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, Mr Trudeau said that the deal - which he termed a "supply and confidence" agreement - begins today and will continue through the end of Canada's...

Hollywood celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, and Jane Fonda are protesting a Canadian natural gas pipeline that they claim represents a threat to the climate and indigenous rights. Their demand to defund the pipeline comes as energy prices are soaring around the world, putting a squeeze on working class families and sending a dire ripple effect throughout the global economy. The pipeline at the center of the fight is the Coastal GasLink, which transports natural gas across the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia to the Pacific coast.

You can condemn the actions of Russia, quite rightly, for many reasons. What you can't do is claim to be an exemplar of democracy if whenever you get the opportunity to be tyrannical,’ you do just that.. British comedian Russell Brand called out Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a hypocrite, saying he “lost his authority to comment” on the issue of “democracy,” considering his recent crackdown against the trucker Freedom Convoy. “What I feel is that Justin Trudeau lost his authority to comment on issues like this when he treated the truckers in the manner they did when they...

Justin Trudeau has faced criticism after he was photographed on Monday wearing a mask for Labour’s leader Keir Starmer and other political dignitaries but opted not to wear one while meeting 95-year-old Queen Elizabeth II. The Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, 50, decided to wear a mask when meeting the head of Britain’s socialist Labour Party, Sir Keir Starmer, 59, despite both gentlemen not being classified as an at-risk group in regards to developing severe coronavirus symptoms upon contracting the virus.

She was directed to leave Ottawa within a day and be out of Ontario within 72 hours, not to return unless for court reasons. OTTAWA – An Ontario judge ordered this afternoon that trucker Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich be immediately released on bail but with strict conditions. The decision came after Lich was earlier denied bail by a judge with ties to the Liberal Party of Canada. “I find that this accused ought to be released,” ruled Justice John M. Johnston today. According to Ottawa-based lawyer David Anber, who has been live-tweeting Lich’s case, in addition to her bail...

Among the many myths about Canada that have been shattered is the old chestnut that, unlike the U.S., with its cutthroat Darwinian ethos, Canada is a largely egalitarian and compassionate society—the kind of place where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s “sunny ways” rule. The Freedom Convoy and the government’s heavy-handed response (“Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Tyranny,” Review & Outlook, Feb. 23), invoking the Emergencies Act to subdue peaceful civil disobedience, has cast into sharp relief class divisions bubbling under the superficially egalitarian surface of the Canadian self-image. The class dimension becomes evident from the demeaning and charged language used by politicians and...

Other than Liberal sycophants, most of us knew Trudeau was in way over his head. He wasn’t a deep thinker with a strong understanding of politics, economics or foreign policy. He had no life experience, business acumen or penchant for strategic communications.... This was going to be disastrous, and we were proven right. Trudeau’s list of political failures is massive. Three past instances of wearing blackface that he tried to hide. Public battles with female MPs and cabinet ministers — including Jody Wilson-Raybould, Jane Philpott and Celina Caesar-Chavannes — which exposed him as a faux feminist. Three trips to the...

The trucker convoy has come and gone. The bouncy castles have been put away, the hot tubs dismantled, the 18-wheelers towed, the party atmosphere vanished into air, into thin air. They are such stuff as dreams are made of. The convoy’s main accomplishment was to force the government to show its autocratic hand to the observant and the doubtful. The invoking of the Emergencies (or War Measures) Act was a groundless abuse of power and its hasty withdrawal a sign of an authoritarian government caught with its pants down. But in the aftermath of the Freedom Convoy’s magnificent display of...

Americans have often looked down their noses at the authoritarian ways of other nations and thought, “that will never happen in the United States.” But after enduring our own governmnet’s overreach throughout the pandemic, I wonder how many folks are still sure about that. I can only speak for myself, but every affront to liberty around the globe now seems a potential scourge for the U.S. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau provides the latest example. His illiberal response to the Canadian trucker protests breaks new ground for Democratic countries looking to infringe on their citizens' basic freedoms. Last week, despite...
