The Canadian government is proposing a bill that would raise the maximum punishment for online hate speech from five years to a life sentence. The proposal forms part of the latest Online Harms Bill, put forward by Justin Trudeau's left-wing government, which seeks to its assert control over online discourse: The National Post reports: "Bill C-63 aims to force social-media, user-uploaded adult content and live-streaming services to reduce exposure to online content deemed harmful, to strengthen the reporting of child pornography and to better address hate propaganda and provide recourse to victims of hate online. "It also amends the Criminal...

A new change to the Canadian Labour Code that went into effect earlier this month stipulates that all federally regulated employers are now required to provide free menstrual products in all employee bathrooms. The change was announced in May of 2023 by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government and kicked in on December 15. Regulations posted to Canada's Employment and Social Development website specify that 'menstrual products must be in all toilet rooms, regardless of their marked genders.' 'This means that every female-identified, male-identified and all gender toilet rooms will need to have menstrual products. 'Unrestricted access to menstrual products...

rime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke to Benny Gantz — Israel's former defence minister who now serves in the wartime cabinet — hours after his critical comments about the war effort ignited an Israeli backlash. In a readout sent to reporters Thursday, the Prime Minister's Office said that in his conversation with Gantz on Wednesday, Trudeau reaffirmed Canada's "longstanding support for Israel and its right to defend itself in accordance with international law" and condemned Hamas's "terrorist attacks" and its use of Palestinian civilians as human shields. Trudeau also stressed that Israel needs to take "all possible measures to protect civilians...

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced criticism Wednesday from Jewish leaders after he made comments that were perceived as overly critical of Israel and its efforts to destroy Hamas in Gaza. Speaking at an electric vehicle announcement in Maple Ridge, B.C. yesterday, Trudeau said "the world is watching" as Israel pursues its campaign to destroy the group that carried out the deadly Oct. 7 attack. "We're hearing the testimonies of doctors, family members, survivors, kids who've lost their parents. The world is witnessing this — the killing of women and children, of babies," Trudeau said. "This has to stop. "I have...

The net income for Canadian farmers fell 8.3 percent in 2022 and the expense of running a farm increased by 21.2 percent in 2022, the largest gain since 1974. Vacant farms without crops. Grocery stores lacking any foodstuffs. People starving in their homes or on the streets. It could happen in Canada because of the Liberal government’s war on farmers. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is waging that war and it could well create an artificial famine in Canada like the kind the Soviet Union experienced during the 1930s. Farmers are being put in a position of non-productivity and that has...

Over the weekend, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has publicly criticized the state of Israel and expressed sympathies for Palestinians in the past, issued a tweet saying that his government was “here” for Palestinian, Arab, and black Muslim communities. “As members of the Palestinian, Arab, and Black Muslim communities gathered for prayer yesterday, I wanted them to know this: We know you’re worried and hurting. We’re here for you. We will not stop advocating for civilians to be protected and for international law to be upheld,” he declared. ... Trudeau has a history of siding with Palestinian terrorists over...

Palestinian terrorists gang raping, beheading and burning Jews alive shocked many people in the world into finally supporting Israel. But socialists and Muslims continue to let their hatred for Jews shine through. The National Post in Canada was appalled by Justin Castreau’s pasty face response to the rallies supporting gang rape, beheading and burning people alive. The Post’s Tristin Hopper wrote, “In sharp contrast to the Freedom Convoy demonstrations last year, many of these pro-Hamas rallies are occurring without so much as an official condemnation from local authorities. Notable exceptions to this came from Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, who called...

Dr. Eli David @DrEliDavid: Clown Trudeau becomes the only Western leader who condemned Israel for the Gaza hospital blast, before evidence emerged that a terrorists' misfired rocket caused it 🤡 No wonder no world leader takes this clown seriously...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tried to Jedi mind trick an audience on Monday at the University of Ottawa, claiming that he never forced anybody to get the Covid-19 vaccine, despite his government legislating some of the strictest vaccine mandates in the world."My responsibility is to keep as many Canadians alive as possible and all of the scientists and the medical experts and the researchers, not just in Canada but around the world, understood that vaccination was going to be the way through this," said Trudeau, adding "Therefore, while not forcing anyone to get vaccinated, I chose to make sure...

Trudeau gets unwelcome greeting in Windsor In the video, Trudeau’s motorcade can be seen driving through a crowd of people protesting his appearance in their city. Half a dozen “F*CK Trudeau” flags are seen being waved by members of the crowd. “Last night, Trudeau’s motorcade was met by a wall of angry protesters in Windsor, Ontario,” tweeted The Counter Signal’s founder Keean Bexte. “Locals calling on the beleaguered Prime Minister to resign.” Last night, Trudeau's motorcade was met by a wall of angry protesters in Windsor, Ontario.

The fertilizer crisis just got a whole lot worse after 3,000 Canadian Pacific Rail Workers walked off the job, leaving fertilizer shipments stranded. Thousands of CP Rail conductors, engineers, train, and yard workers represented by the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference decided to strike after the union and the rail company failed to strike a deal. This could result in a shortage of fertilizer and other needed farm supplies ahead of the spring growing season. “CP Rail is the leading carrier of potash, a potassium-rich salt mined from underground deposits formed from evaporated sea beds millions of years ago, used to...

Avi Yemini @OzraeliAvi Ottawa Police Chief says even if protesters “retreat and go home”, they’ll be hunted and punished.Meaning they have ZERO incentive to leave.Because cowering won’t save them.

President Joe Biden's administration has urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government to use its federal powers to end the Freedom Convoy demonstrations blockading key border crossings to protest Canada's COVID-19 restrictions.

Acceptance of coronavirus vaccines is about “being there for each other” and “defines what being a Canadian is,” leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday. Trudeau made the remarks during a remote press conference from an undisclosed location in response to a demonstration in Ottawa, ON, of truckers opposed to vaccine mandates. Trudeau framed coronavirus vaccination as a prerequisite to ending governmentally-decreed lockdowns and shutdowns. “The protesters are talking about freedom,” Trudeau said. “Well, Canadians know that freedom means getting back to the things they used to enjoy, and the way to do that is to get vaccinated. “So...

Participants in the Canadian trucker convoy protest against vaccine mandates are slamming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after he claimed they were “racist” and that participants defaced war memorials. Establishment media outlets attempted to paint the truckers as racist, antisemitic, and Islamophobic, citing “experts.” Rebel News founder Ezra Levant addressed the crowd on Saturday: noting it was both diverse and non-violent: The protesters briefly decorated a statue to Terry Fox, a Canadian runner and cancer research activist, with flags and signs. They later cleaned the statue, though media reports claimed they had vandalized it. They also cleaned up the protest site:...

TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s wife said Saturday that she has recovered from being ill from COVID-19 disease caused by the new coronavirus. “I am feeling so much better,” Sophie Gregoire Trudeau said in a statement on social media. She said she received the clearance from her doctor and Ottawa Public Health. Trudeau’s office announced on March 12 that she had tested positive for the coronavirus after she fell ill upon returning from a trip to London. The prime minister and his family have been in self isolation at home since then. He and their three children...

Last Tuesday, with the blockade of the Canadian rail system by indigenous protests having already been underway for 12 days, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave a speech in Parliament about the need for patience and listening to other points of view. “We are creating a space for peaceful, honest dialog with willing partners,” Trudeau said. Later he added, “What is the alternative? Do we want to become a country of irreconcilable differences where people talk but refuse to listen? Where politicians are ordering police to arrest people.” Trudeau’s smug tone and vague message did not go over well with Conservative...

At first glance, it is easy to chalk up the train wreck that is the NAFTA re-negotiations to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s bad luck. But in politics, there’s an old saying that you make your own luck. And there should be some tough questions asked and accountability demanded on how it all came to this: a last minute “take it or leave it” ultimatum for Canada to sign a trade deal seemingly reached between Mexico and the United States while Canada watched from the sidelines for five weeks. Two years ago, when a populist presidential candidate tapped into NAFTA as...

President Trump sold himself to the American public as the master of the art of the deal, and, well, gulp, we see it. Seems the squeeze is on for Canada's lefty prime minister, Justin Trudeau, the guy who tried to pull a fast one on Trump in Quebec ahead of his Singapore summit with North Korea's Kim Jong-un earlier this summer. The Mexico upgrade deal on NAFTA, which is about to be announced, according to a top story on Drudge, gets Mexico squared away and leaves Canada's P.M. to face Trump alone. Trump, being a dealmaker, seems to have gotten...

It was a remarkable scene to watch unfold. On Tuesday afternoon, Canada’s Liberal cabinet rose to vote on a Conservative motion calling on the government to get tough on Iran. There was every reason to believe they’d vote against it. Conservative Senators had previously brought forward similar legislation and it was defeated last month by Justin Trudeau-appointed Senators. So everyone figured they knew how Tuesday’s vote would go down: Conservatives in favour, Liberals mostly against. Even Speaker Geoff Regan must have thought this. Because after he’d finished tallying the “yeas” from the Conservative side he then called to register the...
