Mr. Masterson began his speech to the committee by stating that “Canada’s chemistry industry is the third-largest manufacturing sector in the country and the second-largest rail shipper.” He noted that every day the industry ships 550 railcars – that’s over 4,000 cars a week—and they do that 52 weeks a year.

Digital ID, touchless borders and Canada’s partnership with the World Economic Forum
Touchless borders and a digital ID in Canada in our near future sounds like something out of a dystopian sci-fi thriller – unfortunately, it’s all too real and no one seems to be paying any attention.
As the “I support the thing” crowd chases whatever new narrative the media dangles in front of them, the most pressing issues of our time aren’t being discussed.

Russia uses “denazification” of Ukraine as justification for invasion
In perhaps what is one of the most asinine claims ever made by a world superpower, Putin’s government is claiming that “denazification” and “demilitarization” is the reason for the invasion of the Ukraine.
A Tale of Two Blockade Protests
ustin Trudeau has presented two entirely different fronts in his governments handling of the rail blockade protests that took place in 2020 and the Freedom Convoy protest that is currently underway in Ottawa.
In this article, guest columnist Gilly Davis exploits the Prime Minister’s hypocrisy and lays it bare.

Trudeau has had to deal with a lot of noise (both figuratively and literally) caused by the convoy in Ottawa these past few weeks – that being from the incessant honking from the truckers camped near the Parliament building.
