Trudeau gov’t confirms hundreds of church attacks since unproven residential school claims
From LifeSiteNews
The Liberal cabinet has confirmed that 423 police-reported incidents have occurred at places of worship since 2015, with the biggest uptick occurring when it was claimed, without physical evidence, that 215 bodies had been discovered at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C.
The Liberal Cabinet has confirmed that hundreds of churches have been burned, vandalized or otherwise targeted following the unproven claims that unmarked graves have been discovered at former Indian Residential School sites.
According to information released September 19 by Blacklock’s Reporter, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet confirmed that 423 police-reported incidents have occurred at places of worship since 2015, the same year the Truth and Reconciliation Commission claimed 4,100 children died at Indian Residential Schools. Prior to 2015, the average number of similar attacks per year stood at just 13. In 2021 alone, following the unproven claim that the remains of 215 bodies were discovered in Kamloops, British Columbia, police counted 90 arson attacks on places of worship.
“This includes incidents that occurred on the surrounding property such as an attached cemetery or adjacent parking lot or inside a religious institution or building,” cabinet wrote in an Inquiry of Ministry.
The figures were in response to a question by Conservative MP Marc Dalton, who had asked, “What are the statistics related to incidents of burning places of worship?”
While the initial uptick began in 2015 following the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report, things really ramped up in 2021 and 2022 when the mainstream media ran with inflammatory and dubious claims that hundreds of children were buried and disregarded by Catholic priests and nuns who ran some of the schools, particularly at the Kamloops school.
The claims were made after ground-penetrating radar technology discovered disturbances in the soil. But, as LifeSiteNews has reported, no human remains have actually been discovered.
Residential schools, while run by both the Catholic Church and other Christian churches, were mandated and set-up by the federal government and ran from the late 19th century until the last school closed in 1996.
While some children did die at the once-mandatory boarding schools, evidence has revealed that many of the children tragically passed away as a result of unsanitary conditions due to the federal government, not the Catholic Church, failing to properly fund the system.
Over 100 churches have been burned or vandalized across Canada in seeming retribution for the claims. Instead of apologizing, the Trudeau government and the mainstream media have seemed to sympathize with those destroying churches, as evidenced by a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation report on the matter.
In fact, in 2021, Trudeau waited weeks before acknowledging the church vandalism, and when he did speak, said it is “understandable” that churches have been burned while acknowledging it to be “unacceptable and wrong.”
Similarity, in February, Liberal and NDP MPs quickly shut down a Conservative motion to condemn an attack against a Catholic church in Regina, Saskatchewan. The motion was shut down even though there was surveillance footage of a man, who was later arrested, starting the fire.
Additionally, last October, Liberal and NDP MPs voted to adjourn rather than consider a motion that would denounce the arson and vandalism against 83 Canadian churches, especially those within Indigenous communities.

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh reaffirms he will vote non-confidence against Liberal gov’t at earliest chance
From LifeSiteNews
‘I’m going to reiterate it. We will be voting against the government at the earliest occasion,’ Singh told a CBC ‘Power & Politics’ reporter
The leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh has again promised that once parliament resumes, he will vote non-confidence in the minority Liberal government, as all other opposition parties say they will do, which would then trigger an election.
Singh told reporters that he is very “clear on this point” in earlier promising to vote non-confidence against the Liberals, saying they should have “Parliament be back in session.”
“I’m going to reiterate it. We will be voting against the government at the earliest occasion,” Singh told a CBC “Power & Politics” reporter on January 20.
“We could have been voting on things that need to be done for Canadians. They chose to prorogue,” he said, adding, “We are going to be voting against the government at the earliest opportunity.”
Singh’s recent comments saying he will vote down the Liberal government once parliament resumes comes after Trudeau announced in early January that he plans to step down as Liberal Party leader once a new leader has been chosen. Parliament has been prorogued until at least the end of March, although Trudeau could resume it at any time if he wanted to.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, in early January, all major political parties in Canada promised to bring an election as soon as possible regardless of Trudeau’s resignation.
Just before Christmas, Singh promised he would bring forth a motion to topple Trudeau’s Liberal government after the new year.
It should be noted Singh’s NDP had in place a confidence agreement with the Liberals that was discarded in September. However, that did not stop the party from propping up Trudeau, at least until he promised to resign as party leader.
Speculation has been that Singh is waiting until the end of February to fully pull support of Trudeau so that he can qualify for his government MP pension. Since 2021, when the Liberals won a minority government, Singh’s NDP has voted confidence in Trudeau 286 times.
The Liberal Party of Canada will choose its next leader, who will automatically become prime minister, on March 9.
As for Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, he demanded Trudeau immediately reconvene Parliament on an “emergency” basis so Canada can deal with looming tariff threats hinted at by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Four of Canada’s top banks ditch UN-backed ‘net zero’ climate alliance
From LifeSiteNews
Among the banks that have withdrawn from the UN-backed Net-Zero Banking Alliance are TD Bank, the Bank of Montreal and CIBC.
In a stunning reversal, four of Canada’s top banks have withdrawn themselves from a United Nations “net zero” alliance that supports the eventual elimination of the nation’s oil and gas industry in the name of “climate change.”
Last Friday, Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD), Bank of Montreal (BMO), National Bank of Canada and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) said they were all withdrawing from the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), which calls for banks to come in line with the push for “Net Zero” emissions by 2050. The NZBA is a subgroup of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), which was founded and backed by the United Nations.
Interestingly, the GFANZ was formed in 2021, while Liberal Party leadership candidate Mark Carney was its co-chair. He resigned from his role in the alliance right before he announced he would run for Liberal leadership to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week.
The sudden decision from Canadian banks to ditch the alliance comes despite Trudeau’s government still being committed to so-called “net zero” policies and only a few days before pro-oil and gas U.S. President Donald Trump was sworn into office.
According to a statement from BMO, it is no longer a “member of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA),” but it is still “committed” to the idea of an eventual “net zero” world.
“We are fully committed to our climate strategy and supporting our clients as their lead partner in the transition to a net-zero world. We have robust internal capabilities to implement relevant international standards, supporting our climate strategy and meeting our regulatory requirements,” it said.
In a statement regarding its exit from the NZBA, TD Bank said that it has the “resources, relationships and capabilities to continue to advance our strategy, deliver for our shareholders and advise our clients as they adapt their businesses and seize new opportunities.”
Large U.S. banks such as Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Wells Fargo and Bank of America have all withdrawn from the group as well.
Since taking office in 2015, the Trudeau government has continued to push a radical environmental agenda like the agendas being pushed by the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” and the United Nations’ “Sustainable Development Goals.” Part of this push includes the promotion of so called “Net Zero” energy by as early as 2035 nationwide.
