Russian Tweets ‘Sorry to See Canada Support Ukrainian Neo-Nazis’
“Sorry to see the ruling liberal clique under Trudeau having subdued Canada with … support for Ukrainian Neo-Nazis agenda,” Russia’s Foreign Ministry tweeted.
On Monday, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on Twitter expressing disappointment in Canada’s recent round of sanctions and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly’s desire for regime change.
“We’re able to see how much we’re isolating the Russian regime right now — because we need to do so economically, politically, and diplomatically — and what the impacts are on society and how much we’re seeing potential regime change in Russia,” Joly told the CBC on Friday.
“The goal is unmistakably…to undermine Russia’s ability to launch difficult attacks against Ukraine. We also want to ensure that Putin and his enablers are held accountable, “She stated. “I always make a fundamental distinction between the regime and the people of a given country.”

“Canadian FM @melaniejoly declared regime change in Russia foreign policy goal of Canada…officially,” wrote the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Twitter. “Sorry to see the ruling liberal clique having subdued Canada with decadent anti-family, pro-drug & support for Ukrainian Neo-Nazis agenda.”
On Monday evening, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praised the Canadian foreign minister’s sentiments in his nightly address to the nation on Monday evening.
“We’re also working on new sanctions against Russia,” Zelensky said. “Canada recently took a significant step forward by expanding sanctions on Russian aluminum and steel imports. I thank Canada for this decision, for sending a signal to the rest of the world.”
Canada’s Economy
Meanwhile, the Canadian economy is in shambles due to Justin Trudeau’s disastrous policies. Trudeau has repeatedly stated that “growing the economy” is his top priority, but his policies have resulted in slower growth than he had hoped. The life of the average Canadian is now defined by historically high unemployment rates, massive government debt, inflation, and rising interest rates.
The country faces numerous challenges, including housing, food, and health. Because of this precarious situation, Ukrainian migrants prefer to return to their war-torn country rather than stay in Canada.
The former head of Doctors Without Borders says Ottawa must do more to assist Ukrainian refugees in navigating the complexities of paperwork and logistics to come to Canada, lest it repeats past mistakes.
“We have seen the failures of not keeping our promises in Afghanistan. And we cannot repeat history,” said Joanne Liu, a Montreal emergency physician who recently returned from three weeks in Ukraine, where she was impressed by the warm reception she received when she presented her Canadian passport.
Many in the country remember early Canadian promises to stand by Ukraine, making Canada “a place of promise, a place of hope,” Dr. Liu said. “We have to keep our promise,” she added, referring to the bureaucratic hurdles Ukrainians must overcome before coming to Canada.
“We absolutely must remove the red tape. It’s not enough to tell people who want to come here, “Well, we’ve extended the hours of our consulates.”
CUAET
According to TFIGlobal, On March 17, 2022, Canada launched a new temporary residence pathway, the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) program, for those fleeing the war in Ukraine.
CUAET is open to an unlimited number of Ukrainians, regardless of their existing ties to Canada, and is offered a special family reunification program.
While this may appear an open and benevolent gesture, Ukrainians are welcomed into the Canadian nation not as humanitarian subjects but as workers who may contribute to the Canadian economy.
Those concerned about the current “refugee crisis” point to the differential treatment of others seeking asylum in Canada. In contrast to the potentially unlimited number of Ukrainian nationals who could be streamlined through CUAET, the country limited the number of Syrian and Afghan refugees eligible for asylum and, even then, only admitted 8,500 Afghan refugees (out of a possible 40,000) and 25,000 Syrians.
Behind Trudeau’s holiness, however, is a sinister agenda. In contrast to the family reunion program, which provides a path to permanent residency, CUAET will accept any number of Ukrainians, albeit temporarily, and will provide residency for a maximum of three years.
To put it another way, because people arriving via the CUAET are not claiming to be refugees, they are not subject to the standard (albeit flawed) procedure for determining whether they are refugees.
They will also not be refugees receiving government assistance and enjoying benefits normally reserved for citizens. The CUAET is a temporary residence track, not a refugee stream. The Canadian government has stated this unequivocally.
Visa Free Entry
Despite the horrors in Ukraine, Liberal members of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration unanimously voted against a motion to implement visa-free travel from Ukraine to Canada on March 1, 2022.
In doing so, the Canadian government actively discourages Ukrainian nationals from seeking asylum in Canada, a clear violation of the country’s stated commitment to refugee protection.
Canada is leveraging the Ukraine crisis to boost its economy.
“Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for a 3-year open work permit concurrently with their [temporary visa] application,” the CUAET stated explicitly. This is an appropriate application for temporary open work permits for Canada, which has a severe labor shortage.
Justin Trudeau praised CUAET as a transparent and helpful strategy. Nonetheless, Ukrainians appear to be welcomed in Canada, primarily as laborers and secondarily as humanitarians.
Furthermore, by promoting the economic interests of Canadian immigration and normalizing temporary migrant schemes, the program risks undermining the country’s fragile refugee protection system.
Doubtless, the Ukrainian migrants are dismayed and want to return to their home country, even though there is a tremendous threat to their lives in Ukraine. As a result, the tragic story of Ukrainian migrants in Canada is yet another example of Justin Trudeau’s inept leadership.

Trudeau Rocks to Taylor Swift While Montreal Burns
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has come under fire yet again after a video surfaced on X, showing him dancing at a Taylor Swift performance while anti-Nato protestors ransacked downtown Montreal.
Trudeau attended Taylor Swift’s concert in Toronto on Friday night. Before Taylor Swift approached the stage, X shared a viral video of him dancing and singing along to the song “You Don’t Own Me.”
The image of Trudeau dancing amid violent protests in Montreal generated widespread indignation online. Some social media users even compared Trudeau to the ancient Roman dictator Nero, known for “fiddling while Rome burned.”
Don Stewart, a Member of Parliament (MP) representing part of Toronto, called out the prime minister in a post on X.
Lawless protestors run roughshod over Montreal in violent protest.

“Lawless protesters run roughshod over Montreal in violent protest. The Prime Minister dances,” Stewart wrote. “This is the Canada built by the Liberal government.”
“Bring back law and order, safe streets and communities in the Canada we once knew and loved,” the MP added.
On Saturday, the day after Taylor Swift’s concert, Trudeau condemned the anti-NATO protests, calling them “appalling.”
Anti-NATO activists set off smoke bombs and marched through Montreal’s streets waving Palestinian flags. According to the Montreal Gazette, rioters set fire to automobiles and battled with police.
Pro-Palestinian protests
Protesters also tossed tiny explosives and metal objects at officers. At one point, the mob torched an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Police used tear gas and batons to disperse the gathering, and three persons were arrested for attacking officers and impeding police operations.
Masked protesters were seen burning flares and bashing storefront windows in videos and photographs shared on social media. Pro-Palestinian protests have been taking place across Canada since the Israel-Gaza conflict began late last year.
Critics have lambasted Trudeau for doing nothing to stop the violent pro-Palestinian marches, with some claiming he has fueled anti-Israel sentiment in Canada.
On Friday, Trudeau stated that Canada would respect the orders of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which issued an arrest warrant for Mr Netanyahu, even if it meant arresting the Israeli prime leader on Canadian soil.

Calgary Zoo Admits Human Error in Death of Baby Gorilla
The Calgary Zoo has admitted in a public statement that a zookeeper’s negligence caused the death of a 2-year-old baby gorilla. Eyare, a newborn gorilla, died last week after being slammed in the head by a hydraulic door.
The accident occurred when a zoo worker attempted to separate Eyare from the rest of the gorilla tribe for a solitary training session.
The gorilla died from significant head injuries, according to the zoo’s statement.
“This tragedy has struck us all in the deepest way imaginable,” Colleen Baird, director of animal care at the Calgary Zoo, said during a news conference. “Eyare’s brief but meaningful existence gave so much joy to our community, and all will sorely miss her. We will do everything possible to prevent repeat accidents.”
According to Baird, the staff member involved was immediately removed from the workplace and will be reassigned to another area of the zoo. The Calgary Zoo stated that it would take preventive steps, such as specialist personnel training and animal behavioral training, to avoid a similar incident.
Calgary Zoo Questioned
It is not the first time an animal at the zoo has died from negligence at the Calgary Zoo. A capybara was accidentally crushed by a hydraulic door similar to the one that killed Eyare in 2019.
An otter died in 2016 after being entangled in an “unauthorized” pair of jeans that a zookeeper had dropped in its enclosure. In 2013, a penguin died in “a freak accident” after swallowing a stick.
Animal Justice, a Canadian group that promotes animal welfare, has called for an independent investigation of animal safety and oversight at the Alberta facility.
“The Calgary Zoo appears to have a higher rate of animal deaths compared to other zoos, and in light of Eyare’s death there should be a systematic review of the zoo’s operations and practices, conducted transparently by the government or another outside party,” according to Camille Labchuk, the executive director of Animal Justice.
The Calgary Zoo refuted that it has more animal deaths than other zoos, emphasizing that it adheres to operating requirements and has maintained accreditation by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ independent Accreditation Commission since 1978.
“We love and care for more than 4,000 animals representing over 100 species that call our zoo home,” stated a Calgary Zoo representative.
“Human error-related deaths in animals are quite infrequent. We have lost two animals in the last ten years: a North American river otter in 2016 and ‘Eyare’ this week.
While rare, even one human-caused death is too many. These unfortunate instances have served as vital learning experiences, prompting us to examine and tighten protocols to provide the greatest level of care.”
Baird said at the news conference that using hydraulic doors is “common practice with accredited zoos,” adding that the facility will consider switching to alternate doors to improve safety.
The Calgary Zoo, which established the Wilder Institute in 2021, caters to nearly 4,000 creatures, including six more western lowland gorillas.

Canada’s Lotto Max Jackpot Climbs to $80M
Lotto Max in Canada has reached $80 million for only the second time in Canadian lottery history. Friday’s draw sought a winner for a $75 million pool, but the top reward remained unclaimed as of Saturday, increasing the jackpot.
Only once did the jackpot reach $80 million in September, when it broke the previous record. Before that, the prize was $75 million, a record.
The Lotto Max prize maximum was boosted earlier this year, enabling for jackpots of more than $70 million. The cap is now at $80 million.
While a greater fee may encourage more people to play, the odds of winning the lottery remain extremely low.
According to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, the odds for a $5 ticket are around one in 33,294,800.
While there was no jackpot winner in Friday’s draw, someone did match six of the seven winning numbers, plus a bonus, earning them a payout of more than $320,000.
Lotto Max History
Lotto Max is one of three national lottery games in Canada, overseen by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation. The game was introduced on September 19, 2009, and its inaugural draw occurred on September 25, 2009. It replaced Lotto Super 7.
The odds of winning the Lotto Max are 1 in 33,294,800. This is correct to a point but misleading.
Let’s have a look at the rules:
- Players choose 7 numbers out of 50
- Numbers cannot be repeated
- Numbers are automatically sorted into ascending order
- Each play buys 3 lines
- Each play costs $5
Seeing that players choose 7 out of 50 non-repeating numbers, the equation for the total number of possible combinations (this is different from permutations where the order in which the numbers appear is significant) when playing the Lotto Max is 50! / (7! x 43!)
