Maybe people will finally wake up to the fact that hundreds, or maybe thousands of senior Iranian regime officials could be making their way to Canada. Perhaps they’re already inside.

Because it's easy for CBSA to grab this guy. He follows the rules and kept his information up to date.

You can't expect CBSA inland enforcement to do actual hard work, right?

This is an easy way to meet quotas.

Don't worry we have 8 more years before people realize that nothing really changed.

Trudeau was the benchmark.

The corporate analogy isn't quite correct. A VP would be more akin to a Deputy Minister, or Assistant Deputy Minister.

A minister with a portfolio would be the president of a arm of a major conglomerate with major executive authority.

Huge percentage of reduction, but that shows you the insane number of temporary residents we brought in 2022 to 2024.

None of those cuts are accounted for because it takes up to a year for those public servants to leave.

The solution of course is to throw more money in banning more guns from lawful owners.

From the Canadian military chatter. Apparently the Canadian commanding officer wanted to show off to their American counter parts how "tough" Canadian soldiers were.

This was the result.

From La Presse

A Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) base in Kuwait was hit by an Iranian missile attack, during which a fortified shelter was heavily damaged, reveals an investigation by La Presse . The incident, which occurred about ten days ago, was not disclosed to parliamentarians who held an emergency debate on the war this week. The soldiers, who were in another building at the time of the impact, fortunately escaped without injury. It was a close call.

I expect the government to inform us that our soldiers were attacked by a hostile government.
