Key government jobs, such as safety inspectors and intelligence analysts, being prioritized by race
Tristin Hopper: Report finds 42 per cent of federal job postings practice ‘explicit or potential prioritization based on group identity’

@DahliaKurtz Look up the work of professor Thomas Seyfreid out of Boston College....he's got a bunch of published clinical research. Cut carbs to 0% , all animal fat, moderate protein. Unfortunately if cancer is already advancing, standard treatment chemo/radiation may still be needed ..
Ottawa is again taking nearly $1 billion from the public-service pension fund and moving it into general revenues, after last year’s $1.9 billion transfer. Combined, that is almost $3 billion taken from a fund funded by public servants and the government.
This is wrong. The surplus came from the plan’s investments and from contributions by the people who work for the federal government. Roughly half of those contributions come from employees. When the fund does well, the government treats the excess as its own. When it does poorly, taxpayers must top it up. That is not a partnership. It is a one-way street.
The law allows this once the funded ratio exceeds 125%. Legal does not mean fair. Workers paid in expecting strong performance to strengthen retirement security or ease future contribution pressure. Instead, the surplus is being sent to the Consolidated Revenue Fund “while next steps are considered.” Those next steps almost certainly include other government priorities.
The consequences are predictable and damaging.
First, trust is being destroyed. Public servants are told their pension is fully protected while the government skims the upside. That message is not lost on current employees or on people the government wants to recruit.
Second, it sets a dangerous precedent. If Ottawa can treat pension surplus as ready cash, other employers will notice. The principle that pension assets exist primarily for plan members is weakened each time this happens.
Third, it creates perverse incentives. Strong returns are now partly captured by the government rather than left in the plan or shared with contributors. Over time that changes how the plan is managed and how surplus is viewed.
Fourth, it is politically and fiscally short-sighted. Taking money from a well-funded pension plan to ease short-term budget pressures does not solve the underlying fiscal problems. It papers them over while poisoning relations with a large part of the federal workforce.
Pensions are not a government piggy bank. They are deferred compensation earned through years of work. Moving nearly a billion dollars out of the fund because the law allows it does not make the action right. It only makes it easier. The cost will appear in lower trust, higher labour tension, and a weaker sense that the rules apply equally to everyone.
JUST IN - EU President Ursula von der Leyen says that people's savings accounts are a problem
and that she must put this money "to the service of European companies"
says her plan to "securitize them" and "supervise them"
They're coming for your savings, Europe.
He IS a patriotic Canadian.
He has a family.
He does not want to move.
JessEm in Moncton.
About 70 people.
Woodworking tools.
Eighty-five percent of the
business is the United States.
Tariffs have not even
hit him directly yet.
Aluminum is double.
Brass is about the same.
Profit is down fifty percent.
He is still hanging on
and hoping he can stay
in this country.
That is the shop floor.
Not a podium.
Ottawa is selling
“elbows up.”
He called it pretty silly.
Because he knows what
the customer mix is.
Because states will
hand him a golden
handshake to leave.
Because this is not a
fight he is sure
Canada can win.
Carney walked from the table.
This guy is still on the floor
trying not to.
How many shops have to
say that out loud
before Ottawa treats it
like a job
instead of a slogan?

@ryangerritsen Idiot sophist in his ivory tower...has no idea what people value and what composition makes our lives, or lifestyles, our environment, our decorum, the construction our our communities. Flood with randos too fast ?? Canada will no longer be Canada stupid
This is Dominic Barton, the guy Carney just appointed as the CEO of Invest Canada.
He doesn’t think adding 100 million people to Canada is a big deal because China has a city with the same population as Canada. And who cares about healthcare, we will just figure it out.
The woman speaking after him is also a nut job. She is from what I can tell advocating for a Government who dictates what is going to be built without the ability for others to push back.
Carney sure knows how to pick the pretentious people.
FALSE: The TRC report never documented anything close to 215 unaccounted for or missing children during enrolment at the Kamloops’ residential school.
This is one of many reasons why the sensational 2021 claim warranted immediate scrutiny from the journalists now apologizing five years later for failing to do so, and the others yet to admit they fell short.
It’s painful and concerning to watch BC’s Attorney General, NDP MLA Niki Sharma, avoid and deflect from actually answering Aaron’s excellent questions about criminalizing citizens and journalists who discuss the need for transparency and accountability regarding profitable policy-shifting claims, such unmarked, clandestine graves.
All Canadians deserve the truth on matters like this. IMO, Niki Sharma’s refusal to acknowledge this amid calls to criminalize such scrutiny makes her no friend of reconciliation.
A couple with 6 young kids on welfare in Regina/Saskatoon can pull $6,100 a month tax-free.
That’s SIS + max CCB. 💰
A working Canadian needs $108,000 gross to take home the same after tax, CPP and EI.
Injured veterans who served this country still pay tax and get clawed back. New arrivals get the stack. 💵
The system pays more for not working and having more kids than most working families will ever see. That’s why Canada was flooded with millions of immigrants and refugees. They get the benefits. You pay for it.
This isn’t a glitch. It’s the design. 🇨🇦

More than one million Europeans were captured and sold in Muslim slave markets in North Africa. Millions more from Eastern Europe, too.
The entire town of Baltimore, Ireland, was kidnapped and taken to Algiers, to be raped and worked to death.
@SteveKooner The FN communities of children who were sent to that Residential school resoundingly asked for the remains of the children to be identified and returned for a respectful burial.
Why was the request ignored? The FN Band got money to exhume, yet did not.
We know that for a successful organ transplant the ‘donor’ has to be alive when the organs are removed.
This testimony is deeply disturbing and asks the question are the organ donors actually brain dead at the time of removal.
It looks like Kate Shemirani was right all along !
Attorney General Niki Sharma is pushing to criminalize so-called “residential school denialism,” but she will not define what that actually means.
When asked basic questions about what speech would become a crime, she talked about “finding a balance” and refused to draw a clear line.
If the Attorney General cannot define the offence, she has no business asking Canadians to accept jail time for speech.
There is a difference between inciting hatred or violence and debating historical claims. The first is already illegal. The second is protected debate. Blurring that line threatens Charter rights, journalism, and open inquiry.
Civil liberties groups have warned that this kind of vague law would chill legitimate discussion and risk putting people in prison over comments and posts. The NDP should specify exactly which changes to the Criminal Code they have been lobbying Ottawa to make.
Free expression is the foundation of a free society. The NDP’s approach is reckless, and British Columbians deserve better than an Attorney General who will not define the crime she wants created.
GUN BAN FAIL: A Brampton reoffender, acquitted by jury of murder charges for a shooting that injured 4 & killed 2, gets 10 years for discharging his illegal gun with intent.
Justice Campbell noted Bell had 43 offences going back to 2005 & was under 3 gun ban orders at the time.
