OTTAWA – Immigration Minister Marc Miller says Canada will continue evaluating the asylum claims of people who have fled Syria, even as some European countries are pausing those claims after the Assad regime’s fall.
Miller says Canada’s asylum system isn’t seeing the same pressure as European counterparts such as Germany and Austria.
Syrian President Bashar Assad fled the country on Sunday, and is reportedly in Russia, after opposition forces seized the capital Damascus.
A jury found Daniel Penny innocent of Alvin Bragg’s ridiculous charges related to subduing a homeless man who threatened passengers in a subway car. The exoneration demolished a media narrative that Penny was a white supremacist stalking black men.
AP said, “A Marine veteran who used a chokehold on an agitated subway rider was acquitted on Monday in a death that became a prism for differing views about public safety, valor and vigilantism.”
God forbid people defend themselves and others! Why that could lead to civilization and public safety! And we all know the Liberal-Left is upset simply because Penny is a white male.
OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre could potentially receive the names of Conservatives allegedly tied to foreign meddling activities — and reveal that information to the public, a former head of Canada’s spy agency says.
“The (Canadian Intelligence Security Service) can do what it wants or say what it wants, as long as it doesn’t violate a federal statute or the Constitution,” said Richard Fadden, who also served as national security adviser to both prime ministers Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau.
This has devolved into a big circle jerk.
A retiree who shot at a Walmart delivery drone to make it “shoo off” has accepted a plea deal after being hit with criminal charges.
Dennis Winn, 72, was accused of causing $2,500 of damage after shooting the aircraft outside his home in Lake County, Florida.
The former fire captain is said to have believed he was being surveilled by drones and was suspicious of them, a police report states.
Florida man sh**ts at a Walmart delivery drone with a pistol and then jokes with police officers that he "can't breathe" when they put handcuffs on him.
Absolute legend.

Aye Aye that face hangs a jib!
Welcome to the 3 am rinse the eye and lubricant application hour.
I made THAT CAT take this pic as payback for the bite before feeding him this AM and he responded with his usual enthusiasm. He wants to shred the bath curtain.
The rebel fighters descended the stairs into the gloom. The rhythmic beat of the sledgehammer was the only sound as it increased in speed. Eventually, a small hole appeared in the wall of Bashar al-Assad’s “human slaughterhouse”.
All morning thousands of civilians trudged up the hill to Sednaya, a prison on the outskirts of Damascus where, among the broken glass and discarded documents, they came to find clues to the whereabouts of thousands of Syrians jailed, tortured and killed by the regime.

First Uyghur refugee arrives under Canadian effort to resettle persecuted minority groups from China
A Uyghur woman is the first refugee from China’s persecuted minority groups to arrive in Canada under a federal government resettlement effort launched in 2023.
The Canadian government has committed to bring in Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities who have fled repression in China. This follows from a February, 2023, vote in the House of Commons where MPs voted unanimously in favour of Motion M-62, which called on Ottawa to accept 10,000 Uyghurs and other minorities, and a February, 2021, vote where MPs also backed a declaration that Beijing’s treatment of these people amounted to genocide.
I bet our China class told the boys “here’s a sure fire way to suck up to Xi”. So Justin said to Xi “You got a Muslim problem? Ship em’ to Canada we ALWAYS need more stabby Muslims.”

Shamima Begum’s hopes of returning to the UK have been “bolstered” by the fall of Bashar al-Assad, her lawyer has told The Telegraph.
Begum, one of three schoolgirls who travelled to Syria in 2015 to join Islamic State, has been languishing in a detention camp in north-eastern Syria for at least five years.
Now aged 25, she has lodged a series of legal claims in the UK courts in an attempt to return but has lost on grounds of national security and the threat posed to the British public.
Some things are just a mystery.
A lot of people comment on how low the federal Liberals are in the polls.
On Dec. 8, poll aggregator 338Canada.com showed the Conservatives at 43% and Liberals at 22%. That means almost one in four Canadians think voting for the Liberals under Justin Trudeau is worth it.
Climate activist Greta Thunberg was filmed giggling as she declared “f–k Germany” and “f–k Israel” at an anti-Israel rally in Germany Friday, video shows.
The 21-year-old appeared as a speaker at the demonstration in the southwestern German city of Mannheim, which included a discussion focused on “solidarity with Palestine and the climate movement.”

What’s America’s largest ethnic group?
Normies might consider our roots in the British Empire, observe our majority-White population, heed the language spoken all around them, and conclude that the obvious answer is “the English.”
But those of us nerdy enough to, say, write a data column would be waiting in the wings, itching to parachute in with a “well, actualllllly …” Because while “ethnic group” is hard to define, the most detailed Census Bureau ancestry data consistently shows the most common ancestry in America is actualllllly German!
Two world wars caused a washing of identity.
KYIV, Ukraine — On February 24, 2022, I woke up to a phone call from a friend. “It’s started,” he said.
“What started?” I asked. “The war,” he replied. Only then did I hear the sound of the sirens in Kyiv signaling that yes, Russia had begun an invasion, announcing itself with bombs and shellings.
Every hour of that first day brought fresh news of air strikes—in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mariupol, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Kramatorsk, Odessa. By evening, president Volodymyr Zelensky reported that 137 Ukrainians had died. He also imposed martial law that day.
November 7. Amsterdam. As soon as a soccer match between the Netherlands’ AFC Ajax, a Dutch soccer club, and Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv ends, Maccabi supporters who came from Israel and several European countries to attend the match, are attacked. Many are chased through the streets, beaten, thrown to the ground, punched, kicked, stabbed, and thrown into the icy water of the city’s canals. While the attackers shout anti-Semitic slurs, the victims, in an attempt to escape, shout back that they are not Jewish.
