Made In Xinjiang: How Forced Labour Will Dictate Ottawa & Beijing’s Relationship

The state-imposed forced labour system in Xinjiang has been codified into Chinese government policy. The forcible recruitment, transfer, and assimilation of Uyghurs are framed as “poverty alleviation".

Canada’s credibility on the global stage, particularly in forums where it advocates for a rules-based order and human rights, depends on the coherence of its actions. To condemn abuses rhetorically while expanding ties that may facilitate them is to invite accusations of selective principle.

Uyghur forced labour is not a distant issue. It is in our homes, our wardrobes, and our hands. It affects more than 17 industries worldwide and taints the Canadian market.

Chinese EV deal means that 49,000 cars will most likely be sold in Canada soon, although it remains to be seen whether Canadians will buy them over established brands.

Establishment show that China is an “enduring and sophisticated threat conducting widespread cyber espionage and influence operations against government, academia, private industry, and civil society to advance its strategic, military, and political goals.”

Canada could at least demand balanced trade. A deficit of $30.6 billion in 2025. Instead China’s grip on Canadian democracy lets rank-and-file Canadians on the ground with negligible knowledge and shrunken savings decide what comes in and goes out.

Tara Armstrong, elected as the MLA for Kelowna–Lake Country–Coldstream said that before European settlers arrived in B.C. there was “no recorded history” from First Nations.

“You had tribal warfare, night raids, captives taken as slaves, children traded away, even cannibalism,” she said. “The establishment of Crown sovereignty and the inclusion of Indigenous people into Canada ended this era of brutality.”

Truth and Reconciliation amounting to suppressing memory of unpleasant history. Been said repeatedly, those who forget the past bound to repeat the past. Just as forgetten as genocide in Palistine as quickly as the next event unfolds. Just as forgotten as Bolshevik starvation murder of millions. Just as forgotten as the Khazar Khaganate kingdom between Russia and Iran. Just as forgotten as forced legislation during the 1913 Christmas break. Just as forgotten as the future of children in debt ridden nations. Just as forgotten as a moral compass. Just as forgotten as Uyghur forced labour and forced body organ donations. Just as forgotten as a hard Canadian frontier life taking tolls. Just as forgotten as any scientific method comparing in situ aboriginal and residential school survival. Just as forgotten as verifying radar anomalies in residential school grounds.

DRIPA – a timebomb that no one knows how to disarm

"The Eby government has created expectations that are in direct conflict with larger societal interests, and now it has to bear responsibility for this,” says Robin Junger, whose firm, McMillan LLP, is handling a court challenge that seeks a declaration that DRIPA is unconstitutional.

https://www.todayville.com/dripa-a-timebomb-that-no-one-knows-how-to-disarm/

Law in general appears to be a load of indecipherable buncombe even lawyers can't decipher. Wouldn't feel bad if the entire legal works were trashed and started over from scratch. Especially case law. I know of an instance where incomplete samples of DNA can't be taken as evidence where a jury would not be allowed to even know incomplete DNA existed. In the midst of multiple incomplete samples one complete DNA sample convicted. The judge, prosecutor and defence lawyer should be tried for treason and disbarred, dismissed with disgrace for allowing such a travesty.

If stuff like Dripa make it to a legislative vote without having the majority of consent by actual voters, it like pulling the wool over another persons eyes... and the consequences of that action...

The Canadian Charter of Rights was not voted in by the people of Canada, only at the Parliament level.

Yukon partners with Ontario to explore small modular reactors

The Ontario government said the deal represents the first steps toward deploying small modular reactors in the Yukon, adding that Ontario Power Generation and Yukon Energy will collaborate on groundwork needed to assess the technology’s feasibility.

The two governments will explore microreactor development for off‑grid locations, including remote communities and mine sites.

Ontario is advancing what Ontario Energy Minister Stephen Lecce described as the western world’s first small modular reactor, part of a broader nuclear expansion the province says will create 150,000 jobs.

https://yukon-news.com/2026/04/27/yukon-partners-with-ontario-to-explore-small-modular-reactors/

AI Overview:
Ontario is leading the G7 in Small Modular Reactor (SMR) development, with construction underway at the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station to deploy Canada's first grid-scale SMR by 2029. The project uses the GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300 water-cooled reactor, with plans for a total of four units to power over 1.2 million homes.

Darlington a Crown corporation owned by the Province of Ontario. Private industry just doesn't seem interested in natural resource based economics for anything but natural resources.

With Carney racking up debt on a scale that is 2X Trudeau, how are Canadian taxpayers going to pay for it?

An honest question. Should we nationalize all the oil and gas fields (like Iran did in the 1950s)? Fastest way to becoming an protectorate of the USA. As the US looks at Canada as the northern resource area, just like China looks at Siberia as its northern resource area...and with Russia so weak from the war in Ukraine it will prob happen sooner rather than later.

Should we put a Federal tax on all foreign sale of gas and oil to other countries at minimum of 35%-75%. I think so.

Carney's plan for Canada to become a world super power in energy needs is faulty. Look in 2014 the price of a barrel of oil was over $100.00/barrel, until the USA started to frack their own gas fields and drop the price of oil to $40.00/barrel of oil. Now with the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, oil is over 100.00/barrel. So its back up to where it should be.

The thing is for oil, it is near the max production (for the world), as oil resources start to run out, the price of oil will only get more expensive. It is not climate change that is driving everyone to use less oil, but the need to go to alternate energy sources. Could be why Carney is going to Nuclear for the electrical energy side.

Carney should also put a export fee on Canadian made electrical energy to the states at min of 40%. Cause the government of Canada has bills to pay and put away for future generations.

Money taken in by these export taxes (where the consumer pays for it), should be at a 50/50 split between paying off the National debt, and putting money into a big saving account for later future generations. A small % of the interest earned on that account could be used for Government budget. Less than 4%. (kind of like that Norweigan oil fund over 1 Trillon dollars).
The fed government needs to taper off from using tax money to help pay out pensions, CPP, directly (its comes from taxes every year). The need to build up a reserve for these programs for future generations is a good thing.

Look at it this way, the fed government once has substantial funds for pensions, and unemployment insurance; and just reached in and RAPED those funds to pay off and balance budgets in the late 1990s. All without Canadian taxpayers permissions.

This new sovreign wealth fund is only for rich people and the majority of Canadians will not be able to invest in it.

Also this money back for groceries is a fucken bust, the Canadian government is making more from taxes on your food bill then they will get back from the government. Do the fucken math.

US trade representative Jamieson Greer said that the economies of his nation and Canada are not compatible in many respects, mainly due to the Canadian government’s push or “doubling down” on “globalization.”

Carney has globalist ties and was called the World Economic Forum’s “golden boy” by Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre. Carney has also admitted he is an “elitist” and a “globalist.”

Canadians surely agree. The prime Minister of Canada must first be "Canadian" in heart, soul and mind before anything else.

The Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark 1997 decision in Delgamuukw v. British Columbia paved the way for modern Aboriginal title claims, and because much of B.C. isn’t covered by treaties, large swaths of the province have been open to such claims.

The Cowichan (with approximately 5,600 members) have been paid nearly $1.3 billion since 2001 for health care, education and more.

Moreover, the Cowichan Tribes also received $229.5 million in 2024 through a four-year child and family services agreement with the federal and provincial governments, adding an additional $40,785 per member over four years.

Also receive funds other Canadians do not, such as “top-up” health care benefits for which most Canadians or their employers must pay for out of pocket. They are also eligible to access all other government programs and also benefit from living in a peaceful nation-state — i.e., Canada.

The question is: absent a treaty, why is $1.3 billion over 24 years, not considered a substantial contribution, if not a full and final settlement towards any Cowichan claim against the Crown for a “chunk” of Richmond?

Seems like I have to go into the next province to get an proper take on a BC issue.

No wonder the bc provincial government is broke, and cutting back on hospitals and extended care homes... taxpayers at the expense of aboriginals... that is where your tax dollar is going....

The Canadian Armed Forces shouldn’t be a social experiment or a jobs program for recent arrivals who don’t share our values, language, or loyalty.

Canada doesn’t have a defence industry capable of outfitting our forces properly.

Picture this: A French-language platoon basic officer qualification course (BOTC in my day) where 83% of the trainees aren’t even Canadian citizens. Fresh off the plane, straight into leadership training.

Unsurprisingly, they weren’t exactly bonding over maple syrup and hockey. These recruits, mostly from various West African countries with long-standing grudges, spent more time fighting each other.

https://www.todayville.com/carneyis...-non-citizens-is-destroying-the-armed-forces/

For all the world's failures without blaming anyone, the consequences of 113 years of unrestricted money growth continuing could only be mitigated with closed borders. If I think of something better I'd certainly post a solution somewhere. Be foremost stewarts of the land, sea and air.

Wow! Such unbased and accurate reporting. Don't know about the rest of you but I'm convinced.

First of all they aren't "fresh off the plane." These are people who have been in Canada for years. Not saying I completely agree with it, but at least TRY to get your info remotely accurate.

Hazardous Dissent: University visiting academic arrested for sharing views they don’t agree with

The health and safety framework invoked here grew from decades of hard-won legislative effort to protect workers from physical harm: toxic exposure, unsafe equipment, workplace violence, and the structural conditions that break bodies and end lives. It is serious law, and its seriousness is precisely what makes its deployment here so audacious.

What she has is a record of publicly and with considerable rigour arguing that some orthodoxies governing Canadian Indigenous policy deserve critical scrutiny.

A university that stays publicly silent while its faculty association declares a visiting scholar a workplace hazard forfeits the name just as surely as if it had drafted the notice itself.

https://www.todayville.com/hazardou...ested-for-sharing-views-they-dont-agree-with/

The uselessness of "basket weaving" degrees from any post secondary institution have been mentioned repeatedly in financial blog posts. But I digress. I wonder what sort of "evidence" the cops would collect with straight faces enforcing a health & safety act with nothing but academic paper to collect.
