Fact Check: "DeWitt, Iowa, is becoming known as 'Little Ukraine' with over 75 refugees resettled."

What We Know

DeWitt, Iowa, has become a notable destination for Ukrainian refugees since the onset of the war in Ukraine in 2022. Community efforts led by local residents, particularly Angela Boelens, have resulted in the resettlement of more than 75 Ukrainian refugees in this small town of approximately 5,000 people. Boelens founded a nonprofit initiative called IA Nice, which has played a crucial role in facilitating housing and employment for these families (source-1, source-2).

Additionally, the Irish Times corroborates this information, noting that the community's efforts have led to a significant Ukrainian presence in DeWitt, further solidifying the nickname (source-2).

Furthermore, local reports indicate that the IA Nice initiative has not only provided housing but has also helped Ukrainian families find jobs, contributing positively to the local economy (source-6, source-7). This integration into the community has been met with support from many local residents, which is essential for the successful resettlement of refugees.

The reliability of these sources is high, as they include reputable news organizations and local reports that provide firsthand accounts of the situation in DeWitt. The narrative is consistent across various articles, reinforcing the claim's validity.

Conclusion

The claim that DeWitt, Iowa, is becoming known as "Little Ukraine" with over 75 refugees resettled is True. The evidence from multiple credible sources confirms that the community has actively embraced Ukrainian refugees, leading to a significant cultural and demographic shift in the area.

Fact Check: Carney has massive direct ties to Trump and Elon Musk. 1. Carney moved Brookfield asset management to NY only 6 days after Trump imposes tariffs. This makes Trump happy. 2. Carney will not get rid of bill C69 which is no new pipelines in Canada. So this means most of our oil and gas continues to go to Trump in the US. We need to be independent. Again siding with Trump, Trump is very happy. 3. Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner was in financial trouble and Carney’s company Brookfield signed a 99 year lease on his property at 666 fifth ave for 1.1 billion with all funds up front (unheard of terms) this cements Trumps admiration for Carney and Carney is now considered family. 4. Carney had Brookfield asset management bail out Elon Musk (Twitter) when he had the big buyout. This is Trumps best buddy and considers Carney also a big business partner with him now. 5. Trump publicly stated that he prefers dealing with the liberals as they never say anything bad about him but Pierre stands up for Canada and says Canada will never be the 51st state and he doesn’t like that. Trump says he wants to deal with Carney. 6. Carney has used off shore banking to hide Brookfields income and owes 5.3 billion to the government over the last 15 years. The address for the account in Bermuda is a bike shop. Carney says it’s legal to hide money and not pay taxes. 7. Liberals had the government prorogued for 3 months while they played around with who could take over while Trump dumped tariffs on us. 8. Carney’s company Brookfield intends to build homes to rent to Canadians with our tax dollars and Brookfield being the owner. 9. Carney sells Canadian dirty coal to China and India then blames us with contributing 1.5% of the worlds carbon and carbon taxes us to death meanwhile China is at 32% of the world’s carbon that Carney helped them get to. What a hypocrite. 10. Carney kicks Chandra Arya to the curb who has won the last 3 elections in Nepean for the liberals. Carney took the easiest seat available to win to try to get an MP job. Another set up and another slimy move. 11. Carney’s company Brookfield has clear cut 9,000 hectares of rain forest in Brazil for pure profit. I thought his idea was net zero??!! 12. Mark Carney took an all expenses paid trip to the UK before he was even temporarily made PM. This is an unelected person getting a free $500,000 trip. This is unethical and he should have used his own money. 13. Carney has used his power to influence the UK to use more expensive jet fuel, then had his company Brookfield invest $1 billion to be able to profit from that. 14. Carney is proposing an altered much higher carbon tax on corporations that will dump down on citizens with no rebates. Carney says the carbon tax has been used sparingly and needs to be doubled. 15. Carney wants to institute carbon credits that will restrict travel in your vehicle and vacations but the ultra rich can buy your credits so they can still enjoy the world. Same as China. 16. Carney wants to bring in carbon tariffs, which is called a carbon border adjustment on any country that he feels doesn’t have a high enough carbon tax. This means the whole world. Carney thinks he’s in charge of the entire planet now. This will increase the price on all imported items we buy. You can only imagine what this will do to the cost of materials. 17. The former UK British Prime Minister Liz Truss has warned Canada to stay away from him and his disasterous Net Zero scams. As did the Mayor of Lima, Peru. 18. Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss on Mark Carney: "I strongly recommend not backing Mark Carney for his policies on Net Zero. It was disastrous for Britain. It would be disastrous for Canada. She stated he printed too much money and put their economy off track. After he left his successors have struggled to clear up the mess. Inflation spiked to 11.1 % in the UK compared to 5.2% in France. 19. Mayor Lopez Aliaga of Lima Peru said Brookfield, chaired by Carney, was “making massive profits off a toxic contract” plagued by bribes. 20. The Municipality of Lima is currently suing Brookfield (Carney is part of Brookfield asset management) in a New York City court. It’s part of an ongoing legal battle that has been going on for years. Mark Carney and Brookfield instituted tolls on the poorest people that took 1/3 of their monthly income. 21. Carney lied when he said he would build LNG pipelines across Canada to the west in English, the told Quebec in French, never without their permission! 22. Carney lied straight to everyone's faces in the debate, when he said he had nothing to do with Brookfield leaving Canada for the USA. Actually he was still Chair and recommended the move 6 days after Trump announced the tariffs. So this was a move to please Trump and avoid Canadas taxes and Trumps tariffs. 23. Brookfield owns pipelines in other countries and Carney has fought tooth and nail not to have Canada’s resources hit the open market. This is loss of profit for his company. Conservatives have fought for this for years. Now Carney and the liberals are campaigning to do this. This will end up being another lie just to get votes. 24. Carney lied when he said he worked with Paul Martin on balancing the federal budget, when he was at Goldman Sachs at that time as a Wall Street banker. 25. Carney lied when he said he helped save Canada during the 2008 banking crisis. It was not him who steered Canada away from the disaster that the "Bankers" like him at Goldman Sachs caused, it was the late Jim Flaherty. 26. Carney is involved in the Century Initiative, which was created to increase Canada's population to 100 million by 2050 that’s over 2 million per year that tax payers have to foot the bill. No matter how devastating the costs, and an end to Canadian Identity as we know it. All for profit. They have a website where you can read all about it. Trudeau brought in 1 million per year over 3 years and crashed our housing and healthcare. 27. Carney refuses to declare his assets before becoming the Pm and put them in a blind trust. That’s why the election was called with minimal notice. 28. Carney’s competitors were illegally eliminated before the liberal mini election to purposely to give Carney the job even though they raised the $350K. Ruby Dhalla is one of them, and Chandra Arya is another. Now Carney took his riding. 29. Carney says he would implement the emergency act against tariffs if necessary again. 30. In Carney’s own book he states capitalism is evil and rigid controls on personal freedoms, industry and corporations are necessary. Poverty will definitely happen but for the good of world order. In other words personal freedom is not an option. 31. Carney and the others that fought for the PM job (in the liberal debate) were forbidden to discuss the fentanyl crisis, homelessness, immigration, border issues, bail reform, China foreign interference or mass debt issues. This is from Trudeau himself. If Carney will lie this much before the election then refuse to follow all the proper ethics and conflict investigations, then he is going to continue to lie well after he gets in office. This is just another Justin Trudeau! Liar Personified! This is who Trudeau wants in office as Prime Minister without him ever being elected. His partner in corruption, greed, and immorality. Except he is even better connected, and established with the funds behind him. And soon he will have access to all of Canadas fund and Information about all companies for when he returns to the private sector. Ask yourself, why is a guy making $20 million a year here to make $203,000 as an MP (which Carney is not one) plus $203,000 for prime minister. = $406,000

Except he is even better connected, and established with the funds behind him. And soon he will have access to all of Canadas fund and Information about all companies for when he returns to the private sector. Ask yourself, why is a guy making $20 million a year here to make $203,000 as an MP (which Carney is not one) plus $203,000 for prime minister. = $406,000

Fact Check: There is no question Mark Carney is a brilliant business man and has a very impressive resume. But does he give a shit about you, and for that matter other Canadians? I didn't know anything about Mark Carney a couple of weeks ago and yesterday, I decided to do a little research project. This is what I discovered with about 1 hour of research. Lets take a bit of a dive in… Mark Carney is the UN special envoy on climate change pushing governments around the world to adopt “clean energy”. A great position, no? Interestingly, right up until he entered the Liberal leadership race, he also conveniently sat on the board of Brookfield Asset Management at the same time as he sat in this position with the UN. Brookfield owns $1 trillion in assets under management and many of their portfolios are across renewable power & infrastructure. Hmm, sounds a little conflicty? He has directly profited off of the shutting down and blocking of fossil fuel projects in Canada which he advised Canada to do (and other nations) while making sure so called “green energy” options are pushed and approved, which line his own pockets with green. One of Mark's acts as Chair of the board was to move the head office of Brookfield from Toronto to New York, because of the impending tariff war. Sounds like he has a lot of faith in his ability to put Canada first...and then he lied about the whole situation claiming that he was not chair when Brookfield moved. Maybe true, but he approved the move and voted for it at the first hint of tariffs from Trump, while he was still chair… Let’s look further at Mark’s role with Brookfield though. While he was doing all this “good work”, or rather making western governments do all this good work while he profits off of them, he was also directing Brookfield to act completely contrary environmentally when it suits the firm and their shareholders. While Brookfield manages green companies, they also acquire and invest in “dirty” fossil fuel projects and “carbon releasing” in other parts of the world. “One of Brookfield's collection of assets was 267,000 hectares in Brazil. producing soybeans, sugar, corn and cattle. between 2012 and 2021 Brookfield's subsidiaries deforested around 9,000 hectares on eight large farms in the Cerrado region of Brazil, a vast area bordering the Amazon rainforest. The report estimates that 600,000 tonnes of CO2 was emitted by deforesting these areas, the equivalent of 1.2 million flights from London to New York. A spokesperson for Brookfield said: "Brookfield made limited investments in Brazil's agriculture sector during the last decade. The decision to sell these businesses was taken several years ago because the fund they were held in was reaching the end of its life, and we therefore had an obligation to return capital to investors." Global Witness claims that this decision to sell clashes with public statements subsequently made by Mr. Carney as a global leader on climate policy, which call upon companies not to sell off climate-damaging assets, but to hold onto them and either clean them up or close them down”. - Ben King, BBC 15, Dec, 2022 They cut 9000 hectares of prime forest on the border of the Amazon to expand their GMO farming operations. Wow! How about the $16 billion acquisition of Inter Pipeline by Brookfield”? An oil pipeline, yes. Just two of the many "CO2 emitting" actions that Mark Carney has directed Brookfield on as Chair to the Board while he pushes green energy where it benefits his own books… A 2023 report on Brookfield by “Private Equity Climate Risks” paint a pretty bleak picture. "The combined current fossil fuel investments of Brookfield and Oaktree emit an estimated 159 million metric tons (mt) of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) annually. This is an order of magnitude more than the 11.8 million mt CO2e disclosed in Brookfield’s sustainability reports". So… will Carney be good for Canada? Well all of the above makes me think he is a wolf in sheep's clothing and let’s keep in mind he has been a close financial advisor to Trudeau since 2020. All of the great results of Trudeau’s tenure are the direct result of Carney. Doubling of house prices Record inflation Doubling of Canadians in the line of the food bank Our now crippling national debt and $60 billion deficit One of the biggest red flags for me is that Mark refuses to disclose his own personal financial situation. A guy who just a couple of months ago sat on 20 different corporate boards, including many American companies, promises he has a lot to gain by becoming PM. He is an ultra elite globalist who is 100% a part of the decisions that have led to Canada’s downfall and left us so vulnerable and if he remains as PM for any length of time, I feel Canada may end up bankrupt. The media will tell you that Mark is the guy to take on Trump, but the truth is not hard to uncover if you just do a little digging. Centrum
