Researchers behind a new report on transnational repression are warning Canada must not be “naïve” as it seeks better relations with China, which remains a top perpetrator in intimidating and harassing dissidents abroad.

The report by the Montreal Institute for Global Security (MIGS) called transnational repression “one of the most serious yet least understood threats to security and democracy in Canada,” and said China remains a leader in such efforts.

It cited several examples, including so-called “police stations” and online influence campaigns targeting Chinese Canadian diaspora communities. Families still living in China have been threatened, the report adds, and women have been targeted with sexual AI deepfakes.

The euthanasia advocacy group “Dying with Dignity” is apparently making millions hawking suicide to Canadians, suicide that has already seen the mentally ill and the medically neglected counted among their victims. In 2024 alone, Dying with Dignity had $9 million in tax free assets. The latest figures haven’t been released yet, but in Canada, suicide advocacy groups are treated like religious groups in America. The profit for pushing death is high.

“Dying With Dignity” Makes Millions From Canada Euthanizing Patients – lifenews.com

There is a basic ethical rule we apply almost everywhere else in society, almost. If you profit from an outcome, you should not be the loudest voice advocating for it, but I guess Dying with Dignity didn’t get the morality memo.

Medicine used to understand this instinctively.

Doctors are not supposed to financially benefit from prescribing a particular drug. Judges are expected to recuse themselves if they have a stake in a case. Regulators are scrutinized when they take money from the industries they oversee. We understand or at least normal people understand intuitively — that money distorts judgment.

Except, apparently, when it comes to death.

… For instance, take Zoraya ter Beek, a 29-year-old, who, in 2024, ended her life via doctor-assisted suicide in the Netherlands. According to The Guardian, she did so on the “grounds of unbearable mental suffering.”

Such deaths are permitted if a patient has “unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement.” Another such individual is Aurelia Brouwers, a young woman who died in a starkly similar way.

“I’m 29 years old and I’ve chosen to be voluntarily euthanized,” Brouwers said before her death. “I’ve chosen this because I have a lot of mental health issues. I suffer unbearably and hopelessly. Every breath I take is torture.”

These cases are heartbreaking and prove that the slippery-slope alarms sounding for far too long should have been heeded, but, tragically, they have been ignored. And, unfortunately, the chaos doesn’t come from only these mental health loopholes.

A Canadian transgendered male who transitioned to female has killed 9 people and injured 25 more others, with the bulk of the killings and injuries happening at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School. The school is a few minutes outside of Vancouver, Canada.

The police were there within 2 minutes, but the shooter had already killed 7 people at the school, then he killed himself. The school was not armed. Citizens are not allowed to effectively possess guns for self-defense in Canada anymore.

Shootings at school and home in British Columbia leave 10 dead, including shooter – japantoday.com

A shooting at a school in British Columbia left eight dead including a woman whom police believe to be the shooter, while two more people were found dead at a nearby home, Canadian authorities said Tuesday.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said more than 25 people are injured, including two who were airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries, after the shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School.

School shootings are rare in Canada.

The town of Tumbler Ridge is more than 1,000 kilometers north of Vancouver, near the border with Alberta. The provincial government website lists Tumbler Ridge Secondary School as having 175 students from Grades 7 to 12.

British Columbia Premier David Eby told reporters that police officers reached the school within two minutes.

Online flight trackers show that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew hundreds of kilometres through Canadian airspace on his way to meet U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday — despite Prime Minister Mark Carney previously saying he would honour an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Netanyahu is wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Carney was asked last October by Bloomberg if “Netanyahu would be arrested if he came to Canada.”

The prime minister twice responded “yes.”

There was something about the way the premier of British Columbia, David Eby, struggled to his words in front of the cameras that said a lot about how Canadians view the school shooting in a small town called Tumbler Ridge.

“This is the kind of thing that feels like it happens in other places, and not close to home.”

He is right about that. People expect this sort of thing to take place south of the border, in the United States – but not in Canada – not in a place like Tumbler Ridge.

A shooting rampage at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia left 10 people dead and more than 25 injured on Tuesday, marking one of the deadliest school attacks in Canadian history.

Authorities said the gunfire erupted shortly after 1:20 p.m. local time at the high school in the remote community. Six victims were killed inside the building before the suspect was later found dead from what police described as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

A seventh victim died while being transported to a hospital. Investigators also discovered two additional bodies at a nearby residence believed to be connected to the attack, reportedly the suspect’s mother and younger brother.

The transgender individual alleged to be responsible for Tuesday’s deadly shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School has been identified by a close family member as Jesse Strang.

Juno News reported that it spoke directly with Russell G. Strang, Jesse Strang’s uncle, who confirmed that his nephew was responsible for the attack. The outlet’s managing editor, Cosmin Dzsurdzsa, stated on X that he had spoken with the suspect’s uncle and added that a YouTube account believed to belong to Jesse Strang features the transgender flag and lists “she/her” pronouns. The account also reportedly displays an SKS-style rifle. He also linked to his exclusive report.

Original story follows:

A school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia left 10 dead and 25 injured on Tuesday night. The RCMP said that the shooter is among the dead after a self-inflicted gun shot.

A motive for the rampage, which occured before 1:20 pm local time, at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a nearby residence has not yet been determined and North District commander Ken Floyd of the British Columbia RCMP has declined to identify the shooter in any way.

However, a police alert earlier in the day stated that the suspect was a “female in a dress with brown hair.”

A rural community in British Columbia, Canada, is reeling after a shooter allegedly opened fire inside Tumbler Ridge Secondary School Tuesday, reportedly killing nine and injuring dozens.

Soviet Canada is looking to pass a bill that will essentially equip leftists to get their family members arrested if they don’t agree with their anti-human ideology. Bill C-16, the “Protecting Victims Act” would create a new classification of “crime” called “coercive or controlling conduct.” The bill appears to be intended to force Canadians to comply with the party’s orthodoxy at home or else be turned into the police by your own family members. The bill should be renamed the Secret Police bill.

Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis warned his constituents of the dark bill, telling them, “Do you think the government should criminalize everyday interactions in your home with your family? If not, you should read Bill C-16. The bill creates new offences… which are deeply concerning for normal, loving family interactions, based on a ‘pattern of coercive or controlling conduct,’ even when no violence, threats, or illegal acts occur. It criminalizes a pattern of otherwise lawful and often common behaviour that may later be perceived as threatening by an intimate partner.”

Canadian Government Pushes to Criminalize Everyday Family Conversations – slaynews.com

Canada’s Liberal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney is facing mounting backlash after critics warned that a little-noticed piece of legislation could dramatically expand state power inside private homes.

The proposed law, Bill C-16, titled the “Protecting Victims Act,” would create a new Criminal Code offense targeting patterns of “coercive or controlling conduct” within relationships.

But opponents say the sweeping language risks turning ordinary family interactions into potential criminal investigations.

Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis sounded the alarm in a public warning to Canadians.

EDMONTON, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) — Alberta Conservative Premier Danielle Smith said she has had enough of woke federal judge appointments, warning Prime Minister Mark Carney that unless he allows provincial input into new judge selections, her province will withhold funding.

“The appointment of justices to our Alberta courts should be non-partisan and reflect our province’s legal traditions and values,” Smith wrote Tuesday on X along with an attached two-page letter to Carney.

“I am urging Prime Minister Mark Carney @MarkJCarney to give Alberta a formal and meaningful role in the judicial appointment process that would boost public confidence in the administration of justice, support national unity within Alberta, and ensure judicial decision-making reflects the expectations of Albertans.”

In the two-page letter to Carney, Smith made clear her intentions to allow Alberta to have a say in judge appointments, saying her province needs to be consulted on all future judicial appointments to the Alberta Court of King’s Bench, the Alberta Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of Canada.

“Alberta’s government will not agree to provide the necessary funding to support any new judicial positions in the province until such engagement and collaboration are provided,” she wrote.

After 5 years of having the “opportunity” to turn in their no-no guns and get paid in return, the time limit is running out. While the exact numbers are hard to find, the fact that the government has already extended the time limit three times tell you they’ve gotten themselves into an unenforceable situation, they lack the power to confiscate all the guns that haven’t been voluntarily turned in already.

Blair Hagen, an executive with the National Firearms Association, said the Canadian government has more problems than just non-compliance, saying, “We’re finding that they’re running into a lot of compliance issues,” said Blair Hagen, an executive with the National Firearms Association. They have no idea where [the guns are] or who has them. So it’s proving to be a very, very difficult situation for the government.”

Canadian Citizens Face Prison for Failing to Comply with ‘Voluntary’ Gun Buyback Scheme –  slaynews.com

Hundreds of thousands of Canadian gun owners could face prison sentences if they refuse to surrender newly prohibited firearms under a federal “buyback” program that critics say amounts to forced confiscation disguised as “voluntary” compliance.

Since May 2020, the Canadian government has pursued what it calls an “assault-style firearms compensation program,” banning thousands of firearms and offering payment to owners who turn them in.

Gun owners who fail to comply by October 2026 could face up to five years in prison for illegal possession.

Gun rights advocates and several provincial governments argue the program will overwhelmingly impact law-abiding citizens while doing little to curb crime.

“We’re finding that they’re running into a lot of compliance issues,” said Blair Hagen, an executive with the National Firearms Association.

“They have no idea where [the guns are] or who has them.

“So it’s proving to be a very, very difficult situation for the government.”

Trudeau’s Order-in-Council Ban

The firearm ban was enacted through an order-in-council issued in May 2020 by then–Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a mechanism that allows sweeping regulatory changes without a parliamentary vote.

Under the policy, participation in the buyback is described as “voluntary,” but compliance with the ban is mandatory.

“While participating in the program is voluntary, compliance with the law is not,” the federal government states on its website.

Firearm owners must “safely dispose of or permanently deactivate” prohibited weapons or risk criminal liability.

The government has extended an amnesty for possession three times, with the current deadline set for October 30, 2026.

‘Voluntary’ in Name Only

Gun rights groups dispute the government’s framing.

“If the option is either turn them in or you’re going to jail, I would not consider that voluntary,” said Justin Davis, public affairs director for the National Rifle Association.

The federal government also does not guarantee compensation, stating only that owners “may receive compensation subject to availability of program funds.”

Carney Denies Confiscation

Globalist Prime Minister Mark Carney has repeatedly denied that the policy constitutes confiscation.

“This is not about confiscation,” Carney said during a podcast interview in September 2025.

“This is about voluntary return of firearms for compensation.”

Carney also claimed that the ban does not affect hunting rifles or sport-shooting firearms.

However, critics point out that the policy includes explicit carve-outs for Indigenous subsistence hunters, suggesting that commonly owned firearms are indeed affected.

Provinces Refuse to Enforce the Ban

Several provinces, including Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Yukon, have refused to assist federal authorities in enforcing the ban.

“We will have nothing to do with this program,” said Teri Bryant, Alberta’s chief firearms officer.

“We will not spend any Alberta taxpayer dollars on this program.”

As a result, federal authorities would be responsible for enforcement without local law enforcement support.

“If the feds want to try and enforce it, they are going to have to do it themselves,” Hagen said.

“The logistics get even more insurmountable and the price goes up.”

Program Yields Minimal Results

A six-week pilot run in fall 2025 reportedly recovered just 25 firearms, far below the government’s expectation of roughly 200.

Despite that outcome, officials declared the pilot a success.

Hagen said the lack of public participation reflects widespread resistance among lawful gun owners.

“There is a civil disarmament agenda in that bureaucracy,” he said.

“It started many years ago.”

Warnings for the United States

Gun rights advocates argue the Canadian model is a cautionary tale for the United States.

“There’s no criminal in the world who’s going to turn in their firearm for a few dollars,” Davis said.

“These policies disarm law-abiding citizens and create more soft targets.”

Gun confiscation schemes are already backed by top Democrats.

During her failed 2019 presidential campaign, former Vice President Kamala Harris openly supported a mandatory gun buyback.

“We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory gun buyback program,” Harris said at the time.

Advocates note that Canada lacks constitutional protections comparable to the Second Amendment.

“You can ban firearms on paper,” Hagen said, “but actually making confiscation happen is another thing entirely.”

Whether Canada’s program collapses under its own cost and complexity, or is repealed by a future government, remains an open question.

However, laws such as this one are almost always a one-way street.

The Canadian government-run euthanasia system has crossed another chilling threshold after Canada’s socialized healthcare system euthanized a disabled man because he was experiencing “loneliness.”

Medical assistance in dying (MAID) is a process that allows someone who is found eligible to be able to receive assistance from a medical practitioner in ending their life. The federal Criminal Code of Canada permits this to take place only under very specific circumstances and rules. Anyone requesting this service must meet specific eligibility criteria to receive medical assistance in dying. Any medical practitioner who administers an assisted death to someone must satisfy certain safeguards first.

Only medical practitioners are permitted to conduct assessments and to provide medical assistance in dying. This can be a physician or a nurse practitioner, where provinces and territories allow.
