The great trolling of Justin Trudeau: Why Donald Trump won’t leave Canadian PM alone

Donald Trump waited just three weeks after his election victory last month to restart one of his favourite hobbies during his first administration: trolling Justin Trudeau.

On Nov 26, he pledged to impose tariffs of 25 per cent on Canada, alongside Mexico the US’s largest trading partner, unless the country agreed to crack down on border security.

Cue panic in Ottawa. Mr Trudeau was at Mar-a-Lago three days later to discuss the issue with the president-elect and put on a brave face to tell the media the two men had an “excellent conversation”.

Report: German Intelligence Agency Weaponised To Crack Down on AfD

Conservative and liberal politicians in the eastern German state of Thuringia are calling for the resignation of the head of the state’s domestic intelligence agency, Stephan Kramer, who —according to a report—is abusing his public office to pursue a political rival, the anti-immigration Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party.

An explosive article by the media outlet Apollo News revealed that Kramer has chosen to disregard legal and factual arguments while pursuing a campaign against the AfD, effectively weaponising his office for party political purposes. He has also been described as a “serious security risk” and threatened at least one of his employees with physical violence.

Russia! Russia! Russia!

Inside the Russian Political Influence Campaign in Canada

When far-right YouTuber Lauren Southern was summoned to tell MPs about her part in an alleged Russian disinformation operation last month, she told them it was no big deal.

“If you were worried about this alleged Russian money unduly influencing Canadian issues — good news, didn’t happen,” she told the standing committee on public safety and national security, which includes Liberal, Conservative, NDP and Bloc Québécois MPs.

The Russians’ efforts to use Tenet Media as a secret propaganda tool were a failure, Southern told MPs. Few people watched the videos, she said, expert assessments of the project’s impact were inflated and the committee’s investigation was a waste of taxpayer dollars.

“Far-Right” means unbiased journalism.

Revealed: Prince Andrew’s links to Chinese ‘spy’ banned from UK

A “close confidant” of the Duke of York is an alleged Chinese spy who has been banned from entering the UK on national security grounds.

The man, known only as H6, was once a junior civil servant in China and was so close to Prince Andrew that he had been told he could act on the royal’s behalf when dealing with potential investors in China, according to a secret hearing.

He was also invited to the Duke’s birthday party in 2020, and was described by the judges overseeing the case as a “close confidant of the Duke”.

Good Riddance, Christopher Wray

FBI Director Christopher Wray announced on Wednesday that he would step down from the nation’s premier law enforcement agency in January.

“After weeks of careful thought, I’ve decided the right thing for the Bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current administration in January and then step down,” Wray told agency employees at an internal town hall. “My goal is to keep the focus on our mission — the indispensable work you’re doing on behalf of the American people every day. In my view, this is the best way to avoid dragging the Bureau deeper into the fray, while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work.”

Another conspiracy proven fact!

The Postal Service’s electric mail trucks are way behind schedule

So crappy it doesn’t want to be built!

Defense contractor Oshkosh had only delivered 93 trucks by November — compared to 3,000 originally expected by now. The delays put Biden’s climate goals at risk.

A multibillion-dollar program to buy electric vehicles for the U.S. Postal Service is far behind its original schedule, plagued by manufacturing mishaps and supplier infighting that threaten a cornerstone of outgoing President Joe Biden’s fight against climate change.

The Postal Service is slated to purchase 60,000 “Next Generation Delivery Vehicles,” or NGDVs — mostly electric — from defense contractor Oshkosh, which has a long history of producing military and heavy industrial vehicles, but not postal trucks. Congress provided $3 billion for the nearly $10 billion project in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, one of Biden’s chief legislative accomplishments.

“Next Generation Boondoggle” is more like it.
