Vancouver BANS gun-shaped novelty lighters during crime wave

Vancouver’s City Council, led by Mayor Ken Sim, is enacting a “gun grab” not on actual firearms, but on gun-shaped novelty lighters. 

While Vancouver grapples with rising violent crime, tent cities, repeat offenders, and stranger attacks, the council’s focus is on these lighters, which carry a $1,000 fine for possession. This initiative, referred to as “silly novelty barbecuators,” is presented as a solution to violent crime.

This mirrors a past Toronto initiative called “gunplay no way,” a toy gun buy-back amnesty that offered politically correct toys in exchange for toy guns. 

Critics argue that such policies are mere “feel-good optics” and do nothing to address the root causes of illegal firearm problems. 

Politicians, often elected through popularity contests rather than expertise, are accused of lacking topic knowledge and ignoring experts, instead focusing on “silly novelty things that have no credible impact on public safety.”

One panelist, who was shot by a real gun, deemed the Vancouver initiative “madness.” They highlighted the irony of focusing on lighters while illegal border crossings potentially smuggle real guns and drugs into the country. It’s argued that “illegal guns that are the issue and the criminals who are handling that.”

Another panelist living in Vancouver questioned the priorities of the Mayor and Council, especially given that Vancouver is considered the “fentanyl capital of the world.” 

The mayor himself has faced serious threats, including bomb threats and family intimidation from anti-Israel protesters. 

The effectiveness of this Vancouver bylaw was questioned, with doubts about whether it will lead to even “one charge against somebody in Vancouver for having a lighter in the shape of a gun” in a year’s time.

Federal surveillance of Jews, Trudeau critics was part of larger plot to censor the internet

Federal surveillance of pro-Israel social media accounts was part of a larger Canadian Heritage project to find “promising regulatory avenues to curb online content,” according to Access To Information records. The specific accounts monitored were not disclosed, as reported by Blacklock’s.

In 2023, the Liberal government, led by Justin Trudeau, explored international internet censorship practices, backed by groups like the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) and the NCCM.

“We’ve seen great progress,” said former Justice Minister Arif Virani in December 2023, who provided no examples of legal content they would censor when asked by reporters.

Since 2021, Cabinet has introduced two bills, C-36 and C-63, to censor legal internet content. Both failed due to opposition from Conservative MPs, academia, and free speech advocates.

Despite professing support for free speech, Trudeau repeatedly stated that legal internet content requires regulation, as he testified at the Emergencies Act inquiry in September 2022.

The now-former prime minister believes social media, a “petri dish” for “anger” and “hate,” is “destabilizing our democracy” in an unprecedented and challenging way.

On April 10, Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly stated his intent to address “online pollution” through censorship. As of now, no new legislation has been introduced.

However, a federal consultant’s memo detailed a project to engage policymakers and law enforcement on digital regulation, drawing from European models, to curb online content threatening Canadian communities.

It’s wrong to join foreign military — left and right should agree

Why don’t right-wing Canadian nationalists condemn those fighting in a foreign military? They should join the anti-genocide and pacifist minded critics of those involved in Israel’s holocaust.

Recently prominent former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson said that any American, who serves in the Israeli military should lose their citizenship. “There are a lot of Americans who’ve served in the IDF, they should lose their citizenship,” he told a right-wing audience. “There’s a lot of Americans who’ve served in Ukraine, and they should lose their citizenship. You can’t fight for another country and remain an American.”

Prominent Canadian military historian Jack Granatstein has made similar statements in the past. In 2014 he told an interviewer, “in my view no one who is a Canadian should be able to enlist in some other country’s military and keep his Canadian citizenship.”

Joining a foreign army should rest uneasily with right-wing nationalist thinking. It’s common for governments everywhere to seek to deter their citizens from joining other countries’ militaries. Canada’s Foreign Enlistment Act makes it illegal to “induce” Canadians to join another country’s military.

While the 1937 act was written to stop internationalist-minded leftist Canadians from fighting against Franco’s fascists in Spain, it is the successor to an 1870 British act that applied in Canada. That legislation was the outgrowth of rising nationalism in Europe (which later stoked Zionism).

On Monday, the Times of Israel published “‘I’m afraid to go home’: Canadian IDF soldiers fear fallout from war crimes probe.” Widely shared on social media, the story quotes a Canadian in occupation force stating, “I was supposed to go to Canada last week but after the investigation was announced, I felt afraid to go home.”

It also reports that “at least one Canadian-Israeli soldier has sought legal representation from Lt. Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch, the former head of the IDF’s military prosecution in the West Bank.”

(In a related development, Belgian authorities detained and questioned two Israeli citizens over the weekend after pro-Palestinian groups accused them of war crimes in Gaza)

Canadians fighting in Gaza are panicking even though there’s been little push to apply Canada’s War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity Act by the NDP, media or even most Palestine solidarity groups. All Canadians who’ve fought in Gaza should be prosecuted.

Canada’s COVID jab injury payouts triple in two years, reaching $18 million

Payments to COVID jab-injured Canadians have tripled in the past three years.

According to information recently published by Canada’s Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP), payments to COVID-injured Canadians have totaled $18,140,998, nearly triple the $6,695,716 paid in 2023.

The statistics, which reflect numbers from when the program was launched in 2020 until June 1, 2024, showed that only 234 out of 3317 claims have been approved.

However, the claims do not represent the total number of Canadians injured by the allegedly “safe and effective” COVID shots, as inside memos have revealed that the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) officials neglected to report all adverse effects from COVID shots and even went as far as telling staff not to report all events.

The PHAC’s downplaying of jab injuries is of little surprise to Canadians, as a 2023 secret memo revealed that the federal government purposefully hid adverse effect so as not to alarm Canadians.

Canada’s VISP was launched in December 2020 after the Canadian government gave vaccine makers a shield from liability regarding COVID-19 jab-related injuries.

To date, the health department does not have an estimate on how many compensation claims will be filed.  Officially, in Canada, there have been 442 deaths linked to the COVID shot, and Canada’s Public Health Agency data claims that 98.2 million jab doses have been administered.

Earlier this week, Conservatives demanded an official investigation into the Liberal-run vaccine injury program, which has given more to VISP administrators than injured Canadians. Notably, there have been no press releases regarding the contracts on the Government of Canada website nor from Carney’s official office.

An explosive Global News report found that Oxaro Inc., the company contracted for $50 million to run the program, misallocated taxpayer funds and disregarded many jab-injured Canadians.

Of the $50.6 million that Oxaro Inc., has received, $33.7 million has been spent on administrative costs, compared to only $18.1 million going to jab-injured Canadians.

Canadian Government Releases Report on UFOs

A new report issued by the Canadian government details the results of its three-year-long investigation into the UFO phenomenon. According to a local media report, the paper was produced by the Sky Canada Project, which was launched in 2022 under the auspices of the country’s Office of the Chief Science Advisor to examine “current practices surrounding public reporting of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) in Canada.” Following a preliminary report released earlier this year, a more robust version of the group’s findings was issued to the public earlier this week and contained some interesting insights and recommendations.

Not unlike similar government projects conducted in the United States, the exhaustive study of how and where UFO reports are collected in Canada identified “several gaps and areas for potential improvements” in the process. Specifically, the report noted that all manner of agencies and offices receive sighting accounts because there is no centralized body responsible for the sizeable task. The paper also observed that these cases are rarely investigated “unless they are deemed to pose safety or security risks,” and scientists are generally not enlisted to help. Additionally, the report lamented that there is no public-facing government platform dedicated to the oft-ridiculed subject.

MAID for mental illness? Conservatives urge support for bill to ban euthanasia for psychiatric reasons

Conservative MP Tamara Jansen, who represents Cloverdale–Langley City, continues to sound the alarm on what many consider to be a dangerous and immoral shift in Canadian law: The euthanization of people suffering from mental illness through the country’s Medical Assistance in Dying program (MAID).

Under the Liberal government, offering and carrying out assisted suicide for those deemed to have a “grievous and irremediable” mental health condition is expected to be practiced in the Spring of 2027, but not if Jansen’s new Right to Recover bill stops it.

“MAID for mental illness doesn’t protect the vulnerable, it targets them,” said Jansen during a press conference she held outside of Acadamy Farms held June 9th to raise awareness about the bill. “That’s why I was compelled to table the Bill C-218.”

If passed, the criminal code would be amended to make it unlawful to offer or provide MAID to any individual solely for mental illness.

“Imagine someone suffering from trauma, PTSD, depression, or just feeling completely hopeless? They could walk into a hospital, ask for help and instead be offered MAID,” Jansen posed from the podium.

Alongside Jansen was Elgin—St. Thomas—London South, Ontario, MP Andrew Lawton, who seconded the bill. Lawton shared his personal experience of surviving a suicide attempt years before becoming a husband and elected MP.

“One of the grievous issues with the laws that are set to go into effect in 2027 is the lack of differentiation between someone with suicidal ideation who needs to be stopped and supported, versus someone who walks into a medical office and seeks MAID as a service because of their mental illness,” stated Lawton.

Canadian Mountie Assigned to G7 Under Criminal Investigation for Making “Violent” Threats Against President Trump and Leaking Info About Trump’s Movements at Alberta G7 Summit

A Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer who was assigned to the G7 summit in Alberta last month is under investigation for posting “violent” threats against President Donald Trump and of leaking information about Trump’s movements at the summit, according to a report by Le Journal de Montreal.

The G7 was held June 15-17 in Kananaskis, Alberta, located in the Canadian Rockies.

Trump abruptly left the summit a day early to deal with the Middle East (Iran-Israel war), according to a statement by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:

President Trump had a great day at the G7, even signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State.

— Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) June 16, 2025

The threat report comes two days before the one year anniversary of the assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania that wounded Trump and two supporters and killed supporter Corey Comperatore.

Trump survived a second attempt on his life last September 15 when an alert Secret Service agent fired on a would-be assassin holding a rifle near a hole at one of Trump’s golf courses in West Palm Beach, Florida as Trump was playing a few holes away.

The government of Iran has also plotted to assassinate Trump, with an alleged operative being charged by the U.S. last fall.

NORTHERN DYSTOPIA: Royal Canadian Mounted Police Warns Citizens To Be Vigilant, for ‘People With Traditional Values Can Be Extremists’

Woke Canada keeps descending into pure madness, led by the Globalist Liberal party. Justin Trudeau is out, Mark Carney is in, but the dystopian developments continue unabated.

For the canucks in power, it is progressive to defend mass migration, abortion and euthanasia, transgender dysphoria, ‘net zero’ and the church of climate change… the list is endless.

But, of course, the majority of normal people in Canada need to be kept in check by their Liberal overlords, so common, ordinary behavior needs to be vilified.

So now, warnings by Canadian Police arise that ‘people with traditional values could be extremists’.

If you like “traditional values,” such as mothers raising their children instead of daycare workers, this RCMP spokeswoman says you might be an extremist. pic.twitter.com/TpDBPAYmec

The Telegraph reported:

“Staff Sgt Camille Habel, the spokeswoman for Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), urged people to be vigilant following the arrest of four people in Quebec, who were allegedly involved in ‘ideologically motivated violent extremism’.”

Servicemen arrested in Canada over ‘terrorist’ plot

Canadian police have detained two active servicemen and two other individuals with links to the country’s military as part of an anti-terrorism case. The suspects allegedly sought to establish an “anti-government militia” and were in possession of a sizable arsenal of weapons.

In a press release on Tuesday, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) announced the arrest of four men, “including active members of the Canadian Armed Forces,” who are suspected of having plotted to “forcibly take possession of land in the Quebec City area.”

In a separate statement cited by the media, the Canadian Armed Forces confirmed that two of the suspects were active-duty corporals, another one was a former member of the military, and the fourth man previously served as a civilian instructor with the Royal Canadian Air Cadets.

According to the authorities, the group “took concrete actions to facilitate terrorist activity,” and participated in “military-style training.” During raids on the suspects’ homes in January 2024, arms caches were uncovered, containing a total of 83 firearms, including those prohibited under Canadian law, as well as ammunition, 16 explosive devices, and tactical equipment.

According to media reports, citing the police, the investigation was originally launched in 2023, with the cell having supposedly been active since 2021.

EXPOSED: Trudeau government never vetted alleged terrorists behind Toronto plot

It took nearly a year, but thanks to Blacklock’s Reporter—who, as always, got the story first—we now know the full extent of just how badly the Trudeau Liberals bungled a major national security failure. According to a newly released briefing note, two Egyptian nationals accused of plotting a terrorist attack in Toronto were never properly screened by immigration officials.

Not before they entered the country. Not before they were handed work permits. And not even before one of them was given Canadian citizenship. No CSIS referral. No CBSA check. No comprehensive security screening whatsoever.

Let me walk you through this clown show.

Ahmed Eldidi Sr. landed in Toronto in 2018. Seven months later, he had a work permit in hand. In May 2024, the government granted him full citizenship. And just one month after that, authorities discovered that Eldidi had appeared in a 2015 ISIS torture video. That’s not a typo. That’s the actual timeline.

A man who starred in ISIS propaganda was handed a Canadian passport. The vetting process?

Just vibes. But the Public Safety Minister at the time, Trudeau’s babysitter literally and figuratively, Dominic LeBlanc, said it was an example of everything working perfectly.
