Terror Suspect Caught at the Northern Border Indicative of a Bigger Problem
We often focus so much on the border between the United States and Mexico that it overshadows the one we share with our Canadian neighbors. The recent arrest of a suspected terrorist is a sobering reminder that it can be just as big of a national security threat. According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), 41-year-old Mohammed Hasan Abdellatif Albana was captured in Lynden, Washington. He was identified as a “known or suspected terrorist,” according to Fox News. While it’s not clear when he was apprehended, ICE deported him back to Jordan on November 15.
WTF?
What if we sent Alex Jones here undercover to get the inside scoop like he did at Bohemian Grove? pic.twitter.com/otwZIXaXvP

What to Expect From Trump Administration’s Mass Deportation Plans
EAGLE PASS, Texas—Incoming border czar Tom Homan has made it clear that states such as Texas are about to have an ally in the White House when it comes to securing the U.S. southern border.
Homan and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott promised a new era of cooperation between the federal government and states eager to secure the border as President-elect Donald Trump’s deportation plan takes shape. The two served early Thanksgiving meals to Texas Department of Public Safety law enforcement and Texas National Guard members last week.
What Is Freedom for the Mentally Ill?
Self-appointed advocates too often prevent the most gravely disabled from accessing care.
I’d like to put a name to why we so badly need to reform our legal approach to treating the severely mentally ill. That name is Rebecca Smith, an elderly homeless woman who lived in lower Manhattan in the 1970s and 1980s. Friendly and talkative, she developed relationships with people passing by on their way to work and was well-known in the area. Those in the neighborhood sometimes gave her food or money. She received formal public benefits from New York City for a while but, like many homeless people, struggled to clear the bureaucratic hurdles necessary to maintain that status. Smith’s daughter, having lived with her mother’s schizophrenia since childhood, worked for more than a decade to get her off the streets, to no avail. Smith spent much of her time in a cardboard box.
Crime rates in Canada and the U.S. are not what you might think
The numbers often aren’t strictly comparable, given differences in definitions, but rates of growth are, and they aren’t favourable
Here in Canada, with our mantra of “peace, order and good government,” we view our country as a peaceable kingdom marked by less crime than our American cousins, with their “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Much of our self-assurance on this point is because, as noted in a new study of mine published by the Fraser Institute, homicides rates have always been higher in the United States than in Canada.
The Gentle Art of Negotiating with Terrorists
The first rule of negotiating with Islamic terrorists is don’t. The second rule is if you do it, do it with heavy artillery.
Islamic terrorists don’t negotiate. They make demands in hopes of securing concessions without actually giving up anything. Only the most dedicated historian could find an example of a negotiation process during which the Islamic terrorists made an actual concession, followed through on it, and did not later take it back or turn right around and go back to terrorism.
Trudeau’s lunatic electricity regulations would burden Ontario residents with $35B in costs
Ontario says federal clean electricity regulations would add $35B in costs
TORONTO – Ontario is urging the federal government to amend proposed electricity regulations after an analysis by the province’s system operator concluded the rules would mean $35 billion in additional costs by 2050.
A new analysis by the Independent Electricity System Operator looking at upcoming regulations around restrictions on emissions from electricity generation found that Ontario would have to add twice as much new generation as it is already planning, which is “not feasible” in that time frame.
But if the province were to somehow do so, building enough new electricity generation to make up for restrictions on natural gas would add $35 billion in costs by 2050, increasing residential bills by $132 to $168 per year starting in 2033, the IESO said.
Dem Rep On MSNBC On ‘Villains’ Like Musk: ‘You Got to Punch Him In The Mouth’
Wait! We thought that, according to Dems and the MSM, it’s Donald Trump, with his rhetoric, who is inciting violence. Okay, yeah, he’s been the target of two assassination attempts. But mean tweets!
Sunday’s episode of MSNBC’s The Weekend invited on Dem Rep. Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania, whose Pittsburgh district isn’t far from Butler County, the site of one of those assassination attempts. Deluzio was there to attack Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy for their DOGE undertaking, particularly their proposal to abolish Elizabeth Warren’s creation, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
U.S. Postal Service suspends accepting mail bound for Canada due to strike
TORONTO – The U.S. Postal Service has temporarily suspended accepting mail headed to Canada due to the strike by Canada Post workers.
It is asking customers to refrain from mailing items addressed to Canada, until further notice.
I realize small business hurts when CP goes on strike but I am also old enough to remember when a postal strike was a Big Deal in Canada.
Today? Not water cooler talk.
Here’s How Pardoning Hunter Biden Was Really About Protecting Joe
Let’s be honest here. The only thing shocking about Joe Biden pardoning his son, Hunter, was the timing. He was always going to do it. I think most people, myself included, figured he’d wait until January.
Layoffs could be on the table for public servants. Here’s everything you need to know
The federal government is currently looking for ways to tighten its budget and curb the size of the public service. In order to do that, it’s undertaking a multi-billion dollar spending review.
The LPC has been on a civil servant hiring spree, in many quarters job growth in the public service outpaces the private sector.
There’s a reason for that besides the economy sucking, the public service is a valued vote bloc for the LPC.

Ahead of the holiday season, Amanda Calhoun appeared on MSNBC’s The ReidOut to deliver a message to its liberal viewers: It’s okay to cut off your conservative relatives.
“So, if you are going into a situation where you have family members, where you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you,” Calhoun told Joy Reid earlier this month, “it’s completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why. I think you should very much be entitled to do so, and I think it may be essential for your mental health.”

Canada launches global ad campaign warning asylum-seekers that making a claim is difficult
Once presenting itself as one of the world’s most welcoming countries to refugees and immigrants, Canada is launching a global online ad campaign cautioning asylum-seekers that making a claim is hard.
The $250,000 in advertisements will run through March in 11 languages, including Spanish, Urdu, Ukrainian, Hindi and Tamil, the immigration department told Reuters.
They are part of a broader shift in tone by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s unpopular government on immigration and an effort to clamp down on refugee claims.
‘Italian’ purees in UK supermarkets likely to contain Chinese forced-labour tomatoes
“Italian” tomato purees sold by several UK supermarkets appear to contain tomatoes grown and picked in China using forced labour, the BBC has found.
Some have “Italian” in their name such as Tesco’s “Italian Tomato Purée”. Others have “Italian” in their description, such as Asda’s double concentrate which says it contains “Puréed Italian grown tomatoes” – and Waitrose’s “Essential Tomato Purée”, describing itself as “Italian tomato puree”.
A recipe for mass poisoning.
