Did Marie Josee Hogue seal the findings of the Foreign Interference Inquiry for 99 years? Search Yes, Justice Marie-Josée Hogue has indeed issued a ruling that seals the affidavits of two witnesses involved in the foreign interference inquiry for 99 years. This decision was made to protect the identity of the witnesses, who provided firsthand accounts related to Beijing's influence on Canadian politics. The sealing of these documents, along with a simultaneous order to keep other commission materials confidential, aims to safeguard the witnesses from potential threats and harassment due to their testimonies. Protecting the identity of witnesses...for 99 years? Protect them from...the CCP? Seems like Canada can't guarantee the safety of Canadians from the wrath of China.

Yes they did. But certain records have been ordered sealed for 99 years, as in, the Canadian public has no right to know what's in them. And in the limited information that was released, the names of the politicians involved were not released, as in, the Canadian public once again has no right to know. And now with Carney's new strategic partnership with China, the level of interference is likely going to get even worse.

Some news from Canada's new strategic partner: Jimmy Lai sentenced to 20 years in prison over Hong Kong national security case 78-year-old convicted of foreign collusion, conspiracy charges; several other journalists also sentenced Jimmy Lai, the pro-democracy former Hong Kong media tycoon and a fierce critic of Beijing, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in one of the most prominent cases prosecuted under a China-imposed national security law that has virtually silenced the city's dissent. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/jimmy-lai-sentenced-hong-kong-national-security-case-9.7080352 A tiny peep of protest from Anita Anand, and that will be about it from the Carney government. Canada is going to try and accommodate China while China is...not going to change.

So what does Gene Wu,(Democrat, Texas) mean when he said this: "The day the Latino, African American, Asian, and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning." Gene Wu, a Democratic State Representative in Texas, has sparked controversy with recent remarks about uniting communities of color to "take over this country." Gene Wu (born in China)

It would be even better if Canadians were allowed to hear about the extent of Chinese interference. The Liberals are doing everything they can to prevent that from happening. This petition is designed to embarrass Poilievre, and it's targeted at Canadians who don't understand or are probably totally unaware of Chinese interference.

Guess which country is implementing new voter ID regulations? https://www.dawan.africa/news/somalia-to-use-new-voter-card-in-future-elections-says-president If the same leftist logic is applied, doesn't that make this Somalian government racist?

Like telling a black audience that you carry around hot sauce or something like that.

I may have spoke too soon. On another site it was implied that they had been suspended without pay, but this chief (Myron Demkiw) is now saying that he 'is seeking suspension without pay for 6 of the 7 officers'.

What meme? I never heard of this guy until a few days ago but apparently he often does wear dresses. This habit is something that would surely appeal to the leftists.

"All American" as in how leftists see America.

White liberals dumb themselves down when they speak to black people, a new study contends https://archive.ph/DZL3z#selection-1007.0-1007.89 You have recently joined a book club. Before each meeting, one member of the literary collective sends an email to the club secretary offering a few thoughts on the assigned text. This month, it’s your turn to compose the brief review. A new study suggests that the words you use may depend on whether the club secretary’s name is Emily (“a stereotypically White name,” as the study says) or Lakisha (“a stereotypically Black name”). If you’re a white liberal writing to Emily, you might use words like “melancholy” or “euphoric” to describe the mood of the book, whereas you might trade these terms out for the simpler “sad” or “happy” if you’re corresponding with Lakisha. But if you’re a white conservative, your diction won’t depend on the presumed race of your interlocutor. This racial and political disparity is among the discoveries made by a pair of social psychologists in a paper forthcoming in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Psychological Association. Cydney Dupree, an assistant professor of organizational behavior at the Yale School of Management, and Susan Fiske, a professor of psychology and public affairs at Princeton, documented what they call a “competence downshift” exhibited by white liberals in interactions with racial minorities, and with black people in particular. AD The findings, based on what the authors stress is “preliminary evidence,” raise difficult questions about aspirations for a so-called post-racial society. The results reveal how subtle forms of discrimination may coincide with progress toward equal treatment, or what the paper identifies as “a significant reduction in the expression of explicit prejudice and endorsement of negative stereotypes.” The psychologists further discovered that white liberals rarely admit to the goal of appearing less competent, a fact that highlights the role of implicit bias and “the covert nature of the competence downshift strategy.” “White liberals may unwittingly draw on negative stereotypes, dumbing themselves down in a likely well-meaning, ‘folksy,’ but ultimately patronizing, attempt to connect with the outgroup,” argues the paper, titled “Self-Presentation in Interracial Settings: The Competence Downshift by White Liberals.”

Respectfully disagree mainly because it's always the Democrats that use race as a weapon. They have screamed 'racism!' so often that it's almost meaningless now. In their eyes, pretty much everything is racist. They are the party that does not see the content of one's character, they only see skin color. They are the party that thinks POC are somehow less capable of getting ID or even finding the DMV, or even how to use the internet. And the 'white supremacy' angle is just laughable. This was a line of attack used against Charlie Kirk for years, his response was to ask for specific examples of how the GOP is racist. The answer was always nonsense or vitriol, or crickets.

This link works pretty well actually. https://archive.ph/ Just copy the link posted by Groot above, then go to this 'archive' website, and paste the link at the bottom where it says "I want to search the archive for saved snapshots" I tried it with various newspapers, National Post(works well), Globe and Mail(works some of the time). It's a method worth trying if you come up against a paywall.

I believe that the 'first peoples' were already at war with each other....and stealing(conquering) land. Yes, the Europeans did conquer after their arrival. Fun fact about the Jim Crow era: Democratic Party: During the Jim Crow era, the Democratic Party was the primary force behind the implementation of Jim Crow laws. Southern Democrats, often referred to as "Dixiecrats," strongly supported segregation and white supremacy to maintain control over local governments and prevent African American voting rights.

Poilievre has been the leader through just one election.

True North and Rebel News are not one and the same. And you're even dismissing what the Ethics Commissioner is admitting.

The most surprising thing is that they were suspended without pay since the normal course of action is a lengthy suspension with pay which could almost be considered to be a reward by some.

Dershowitz is a giant in the legal field so I'll take him at his word. "This new indictment features Trump's phone call with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, which was captured in an audio recording. In the conversation, Trump asks Raffensperger to 'find' 12,000 votes. In my mind, this call is among the most exculpatory pieces of evidence. Trump was entitled as a candidate to ask a Georgia state official to locate votes that he believes were not counted. But if similar behavior was legal in 2000, how could it be illegal in 2023? And for the record, Dershowitz said that the outcome of the Bush/Gore election was wrong and he believes that to this day.

Well, he was an advisor to Trudeau and his government implemented things like rebates for heat pumps(benefits Brookfield), EV mandates(benefits Brookfield-EV chargers). Mass immigration-more housing(Brookfield's in the housing business), rental properties(Brookfield), modular nuclear reactors(Brookfield), carbon capture(Brookfield BIG TIME). A lot of Liberal policies align with benefitting Brookfield companies>Carney. If you will recall, at one time Carney publicly stated that all he owned was cash and real estate. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/john-robson-carneys-conflict-of-interest-falsehoods-part-of-a-long-history-of-mistruths/ar-AA1IISuh Regarding the weak state of our economy, why shouldn't Carney and the Liberals shoulder at least some of the blame? Carney himself stated during the Liberal leadership debate " Our economy was weak before we got to the point of these threats from President Trump,” Carney said. "That's why we need big changes to how we're managing this economy." "He said the economy has relied in recent years on a big boost to the labour force caused by a surge in immigration(Liberal policy), along with government spending that grew at a rapid clip(Liberal spending). Trump can't be blamed for everything.

Technically his assets are in a blind trust. However... https://truenorthwire.com/2025/12/carney-caught-meeting-brookfield-execs-despite-ethics-warnings/ Carney caught meeting Brookfield execs despite ethics warnings While Carney is well aware that he is not to be meeting with members of Brookfield’s organization, he’s continued to do so, and without the knowledge of the ethics commissioner. “We know that Mr. Carney was lobbied by NorthRiver Midstream, said Conservative MP Michael Cooper. “On May 6, a week later, he met with Sam Pollock, the CEO of Brookfield infrastructure in Washington D.C. Brookfield infrastructure is also subject to the ethics screen, yet it has recently come to light that in October Mr. Carney met with the chief operating officer of Brookfield, Justin Beber, in the prime minister’s office.” von Finkenstein(Ethics Commissioner) went on to say that his goal was for Carney to recuse himself in a way that should be made public. However, he has yet to do so because “he’s a busy man,”

Some people think the fact that one party won more elections is somehow more important than the state of the nation. Somehow, for the more shallow Canadian voters, it always comes down to personality/likeability instead of competence/job performance. In Stephen Harper, Canada had a very competent leader along with a pretty respectable record as PM. Not good enough so Canadians went for the substitute drama teacher with the famous surname and great hair, but who otherwise proved to be a rather mediocre PM at best. To date, Mark Carney is rather underwhelming.
