Though experts argue there was no documented evidence indicating it was used to purposely spread smallpox. By the same token, they “can’t guarantee it never happened.” According to the diary entries of William Tomison, inland master of HBC in 1778, his account of the smallpox epidemic of 1781 and 1782 “is the most detailed record of the first catastrophic epidemic known to have affected the native populations of the (Canadian) plains.”
Many of us in the West are unaware of the harsh religious persecution faced by Christians today. The widespread disenfranchisement faced by Christianity’s adherents has been relegated in the hierarchy of importance, thus becoming a topic that is seldom discussed. For this reason, the fact that Christians are the world’s most discriminated against and targeted religious community has gone entirely unnoticed.
Awet Mehari, longtime Saskatchewan rap manager for Regina rapper Pimton, had his sentence upheld yesterday after attempting to appeal a sexual assault conviction he had received in January of 2019 for having non-consensual sex with a woman who was asleep. Judge McMurtry sentenced Mehari for a three-year prison sentence back in May.
In the 2018 Quebec election, both sovereigntist parties, the Parti Quebecois and Quebec Solidaire won few seats in the National Assembly. But the death of the sovereignty movement has led to the birth of another political phenomenon, strong provincial autonomy propelled by fervent nationalism.

Canadian conservatism has undergone an immense transformation in the past several decades. For those like myself, who adhere to its philosophical tenets, the Conservative Party of Canada hardly advocates for what it suggests to represent.
In 2019, violent gun crime is a hot button issue for our country, reeling from a divisive election. In light of recent tragedies that have inflamed discourse, firearm laws, further restrictions, and potential confiscations have surfaced as possible solutions. But frankly, the federal government has misled Canadians.
Avideh: “Jowhari’s demeanour has led me to think that he is acting in favour of the criminal regime of the Islamic Republic. I particularly remember the time when he tweeted a favourable stance toward the Islamic Republic of Iran, against the rights of protestors, while the regime was killing people brutally in the streets, calling the Islamic republic’s government an “elected” government. And actually, his first official act as an MP at the House of Commons was to sponsor the Petition E-553 which benefits and is in the interest of a foreign government, the Islamic Republic of Iran, a nation which is internationally sanctioned and is known as a state sponsor of terrorism.”
That’s right. The leader of our country needs a break after two-plus weeks of vacation in the middle of a major political crisis. Shocking, but not atypical from his escapades in the Bahamas and to Aga Khan’s island, exceeding $215,000 and $125,000, respectively.
