The #FreedomConvoyCanada2022 is beginning to arrive in downtown Vancouver right now.

Police seen directing traffic as supporters gather for weekend protests against COVID-19 restrictions.
About a dozen or so pro-vaccine counterdemomstrators in downtown Vancouver to meet the convoy.
Crowds stretch down Burrard St right, waving on motorists and trucks as they pass.
Protests are peaceful with some traffic disruptions
Anyone hoping to buy lingerie in downtown Vancouver will be out of luck. This shop has closed for the day.
Convoy slowly winding its way over Burrard Bridge.

Today’s brutal Abacus Data poll showing David Eby up 7% could be the death knell for the BC Conservatives.

These 14 MLAs elected in 2024 now risk losing their seats with John Rustad as leader.

This is the most important immigration statistic nobody’s talking about:

"New to Canada" consumers drove new consumer loan balances last year — $3.5B compared to new-to-credit Canadians ($1B).

Banks have a stake in mass immigration because they are cashing in on huge profits. Image
Image
A new immigrant is a credit consumer for their entire "lifecycle" almost immediately upon landing in Canada (unlike a newborn).

Mass immigration is a debt creation strategy. Every immigrant is a new credit card, car loan, mortgage virtually right away.

It's the whole jig. Image
If you understand this, it all clicks.

The Century Initiative is spearheaded by people from finance & securities.

PM Mark Carney’s advisor & CI founder Mark Wiseman (ex-BlackRock) is the prime example.

BlackRock is invested HEAVILY in consumer/mortgage backed securities. Image

NEW BY ME @junonewscom:

Today, the early voices initially critical of Canada's dollar-for-dollar retaliation, like Shopify’s CEO @tobi and Rumble’s CEO @chrispavlovski are vindicated: retaliatory tariffs were a harebrained idea from the start.

junonews.com/p/analysis-cri…
@junonewscom @tobi @chrispavlovski When Carney stood at a podium in February 2025 and declared that Canada would hit back “dollar-for-dollar” against U.S. tariffs, many Canadians applauded. But just a few months later, the smoke has cleared — and political posturing has given way to economic reality.
@junonewscom @tobi @chrispavlovski Oxford Economics revealed on May 15 that the actual economic impact of Canada’s so-called retaliatory tariffs is “nearly zero” thanks to sweeping carve-outs quietly introduced during the federal election campaign.

Global Affairs Canada @CanadaFP is USAID on steroids

Listen to this diplomat giddily talk about how her mission is to spread "intersectional transformative feminism" in Lebanon.

Short thread on how Canada's foreign aid is a woke slush fund below 👇

In 2022 I obtained documents showing how Canada's foreign service had become obsessed with race, microagressions, "ambient bigotry" and forcing mandatory anti-racism training onto staff. Image
More on Lebanon... Priorities at Global Affairs Canada included spending over $3M to reach two "gender fluid" people in the Middle Eastern country for a survey.

I read @MarkJCarney's book so you don’t have to.

Trudeau's likely successor says politicians who backtrack on climate must be held accountable.

Discover @TrueNorthCentre's new series exposing the agenda behind Carney's "Values" — Part 1: Carbon taxes
👇
tnc.news/2025/02/04/mar…
Mark Carney once tried to convince the world to adopt carbon taxes. Today, he’s all but abandoned a significant pillar of carbon pricing in his bid to become the next leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.
The man who once penned that “backtracking on ambitious climate agendas is more difficult if politicians share the same goals and expect to be held accountable” is, rather incredibly, backtracking on carbon taxes himself.

Dark day for Canada. Ontario’s privacy czar just ruled "anti-hate" researcher Barbara Perry can keep her gov-funded 300 "far-right groups" list secret.

Trudeau now has a carte blanche to craft laws using shady blacklists concocted by activist profs.

tnc.news/2024/09/27/per…
For over two years, I've been battling @ontariotech_u at the adjudication level to publicly release Perry's list and methodology.

The 2018 list was in part funded by almost $400,000 from Public Safety Canada. Image
Perry’s work, hyped in the media and by politicians, has been cited in Parliament in the process of crafting legislation. But despite promising transparency, she's failed to disclose ANY of these so-called “far-right” groups.
