The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has launched an online campaign to try and stop Bill C-63, the online censorship act. At the WEF conference in Davos, U.S. President Donald Trump said for the first time he would not use force to take Greenland, but added he would be awfully grateful if Europe would just give it to him. Trump also took several shots at Prime Minister Mark Carney in a Davos speech on Tuesday. The federal housing advocate is under fire after it was revealed she spent $14,000 on a three-week junket to Egypt. Guess she just wanted to see how the mummies are housed.
