Nearly two years ago, following the admission of two suspected terrorists into Canada, I pushed then immigration minister Miller to require police background checks for newcomers.
Today, applicants can still be approved “even where there are real concerns about their… links to organized crime,” says a professor at Mount Royal who previously worked with the CBSA.
This is a heartbreaking tragedy that should never have happened.
Weak-on-crime Liberal laws continue to let criminals out at the expense of victims.
A man arrested for assaulting his wife was released. Just four days later, he was arrested for murdering her.
Violent offenders should not be cycling through the justice system while innocent Canadians pay the price. It’s past time the Liberals end their catch-and-release approach and restore a justice system that keeps dangerous criminals behind bars.
A convicted sex offender was exempted from Canada’s national sex offender registry because the judge was concerned about the offender facing deportation.
Let that sink in.
The registry exists to protect Canadians, not shield convicted offenders from immigration consequences. Public safety must always come before the interests of criminals.
Enough leniency. Canada needs strong laws that put public safety first, ensure convicted sex offenders face the full consequences of their crimes, and remove serious foreign criminals from this country after they’ve served their sentences.
Child sexual predators. Human traffickers. Gun criminals. The Liberals’ Bill C-16 makes nearly all mandatory minimum sentences optional.
Instead of defending Parliament’s decision that certain crimes deserve a minimum punishment, the Liberals created a legal escape hatch allowing judges to sentence below those minimums.
“Instead of striking down mandatory minimums, courts will increasingly bypass them. The constitutional debate has not been resolved. It has merely changed form.”
Mandatory should mean mandatory.
Absolutely outrageous.
Canadians are once again being told that mandatory jail time for child pornography offenders is simply too much.
The rights of predators continue to be elevated above the rights of innocent children.
Conservatives believe those who exploit children belong behind bars. Mandatory means mandatory.
It’s time to restore common sense to our justice system and put victims—not criminals—first.
I've been sitting on the evidence for this Girlguiding story since March.
Even then, it took months to persuade a mainstream publication to cover this aspect of the investigation.
For an independent journalist, pursuing a story like this without the backing of a national newspaper's legal team carries obvious risks. But I persisted because I believe there is a strong public interest in asking whether organisations entrusted with the care of girls are putting safeguarding first.
This investigation involved months of conversations, verification and painstaking work. Unsurprisingly, some people have suggested that concerns about these issues are exaggerated. That is why I'm sharing some of the publicly available material I found online.
To be absolutely clear, there is no suggestion that this individual has done anything wrong.
Indeed one could argue he has also been failed by a system that affirmed and accepted him as a Girlguiding leader and later appointed him to a 16-person advisory committee - apparently without sufficient scrutiny of his suitability for the role.
The greater failure, however, was towards the girls and women who should never have been expected to accept males in a single-sex organisation.
I hope this story helps explain why many women believe this debate has never simply been about being "kind". It is about safeguarding, boundaries and whose interests are prioritised.
I'm grateful to everyone who helped bring this story to light, including women who spoke to me privately and helped with research. And @Glinner who reminded me how important it was to tell this story.
And I do think we should ask why it was so difficult to secure national coverage of a story that many people would regard as being firmly in the public interest.
A violent criminal convicted of shooting two bystanders entered Canada illegally after abandoning his U.S. asylum claim, and nearly ten years later, he is still fighting to stay here.
Under the Liberals, Canada’s refugee system has become a revolving door of appeals, delays, and excuses. This is not a paperwork issue. This is a man convicted of a serious violent crime after opening fire in a restaurant.
Our refugee system should protect the truly vulnerable, not give violent criminals years of opportunities to stay in Canada.
@ABridgen This is a helpful way to help migrants know where they landed, especially if they don’t speak the language. International symbols work for a reason, as they are usually understood by all.
Here is my full interview on GB News about the monstrous ‘Conversion Practices Bill’.
It is worse than I ever could have imagined.
It criminalises talking and poses an existential threat to parental, therapeutic and religious freedoms.
We must not allow it to become law.
🚨 Stop Islamic domination! Mosques shouldn't be playing prayers over loudspeakers
Let's be clear. Criticizing a government decision is not a hate crime. Questioning a permit is not a hate crime. Saying, "I don't want religious messages blasted over my downtown," is not a hate crime.
Every Friday, a government-approved Islamic call to prayer is now being broadcast over downtown Regina. Some people have tried to dismiss concerns about this as nothing more than a complaint about noise.
They're wrong.
This isn't simply about noise pollution. It's about changing the character of our shared public spaces without public debate and placing an explicitly religious message at the centre of civic life.
A source tells Rebel News that this permit was approved by Regina police without ever being brought before Regina city council for public discussion.
That should concern every Canadian, regardless of their faith. This isn't like an innocuous church bell.
Church bells are tones. They function much like a clock tower, marking the passage of time or calling a congregation together without conveying a specific theological message to everyone within earshot.
The Adhan is something entirely different. It is a spoken religious proclamation: "Allah is the Greatest," "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah," "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah."
This is not merely a sound in the background of city life. It is an explicit religious and ideological message being amplified over an entire downtown core.
For many Canadians, this raises a much larger question: should governments be facilitating the projection of a particular religion's message into our common civic spaces?
Canada has long embraced freedom of religion. Every Canadian should be free to worship, pray, and practice their faith in peace. But freedom of religion is not the same thing as religious domination.
No religion should expect the public square to conform to its practices, and no faith should enjoy special privileges that allow it to reshape our common spaces without public consent.
Many Canadians also see this as part of a broader trend of increasingly visible Islamic claims over public spaces, whether through amplified calls to prayer or organized prayers in streets and public squares rather than in houses of worship.
You may agree with those concerns, or you may not. But Canadians have every right to discuss them. At the same time, residents who object to this decision are now being met with police warnings about hate crimes and increased monitoring of online commentary.
The effect is chilling.
Many Canadians will reasonably wonder whether they can even voice their opposition without attracting police attention.
Let's be clear. Criticizing a government decision is not a hate crime. Questioning a permit is not a hate crime. Saying, "I don't want religious messages blasted over my downtown," is not a hate crime.
Free citizens have the right to object to decisions made in their name, using public authority, and affecting their communities. That's not hate. That's democracy.
If government agencies can authorize this in Regina without public consultation, they can do it anywhere. Today it's Regina. Tomorrow it could be your city.
That's why we're launching https://t.co/cT0P292wPT. sign the petition and fund out independent journalism.
Because our shared civic spaces belong to everyone, and Canadians deserve a voice before they are fundamentally changed.
Poilievre says Carney is pushing Canada toward a surveillance state, citing:
C-11 (algorithm control)
C-22 (state-linked data access)
C-9 (labelling religious text as "hate")
C-8 (removing internet access)
It should alarm every Canadian that the primary use the Liberals have made of their new, backroom, bribe-bought majority has been to ram through legislation that censors the internet, spies on citizens, and lays the groundwork for a virtual surveillance state.
🔥🔥🔥THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE.🔥🔥🔥
In Canada, 10 provinces & 3 territories can hold bartenders accountable if the customers they over serve kill someone...
...but 0 regions hold Judges accountable if the criminals they release kill someone.
MAKE. THEM. ACCOUNTABLE.
(Canadians have had enough.)
