How an alleged Russian plot suddenly upended Canada’s air cargo rules

The Labour Day long weekend was anything but restful for Bruce Rodgers.

His phone started buzzing on the Friday night and didn’t stop, with dozens of emails and calls all asking the same thing: Why had air cargo imports to Canada suddenly ground to a halt?

As executive director of the Canadian International Freight Forwarders Association (CIFFA) — the industry body for the national network of cargo handlers — Rodgers is used to dealing with the fallout from labour disruptions, accidents or even natural disasters. But not mysteries.

A surreal evening at Mar-a-Lago as Team Trump gets to work

At about 7.30pm on Friday, three days after he clinched his re-election as the 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump walked into the soft, golden light of his Mar-a-Lago club bearing a magnanimous smile, and basked in a wave of applause from around the dining room.

Under the crystal chandeliers, frescoed walls and marble pillars sat a coterie of those closest to the man who was, again, about to be the leader of the free world. Eric and Lara Trump, his son and daughter-in-law (she is co-chair of the Republican National Committee), were celebrating their anniversary. Roger Stone, one of his confidants and a fellow convicted felon, sat at a table with Tulsi Gabbard, a reformed Democrat and part of the transition team.

THOMSON: Remembrance matters, and we need to do a better job of it

There are only two days remaining until November 11th. Why is this important day of solemn remembrance in danger of irrelevance in Canada?

Of course this premise stems from Friday’s news that in Halifax Sackville Heights Elementary, sent a notice to families asking veterans and serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces to abstain from wearing their uniform if they planned to attend the school’s Remembrance Day ceremony.

Nancy Pelosi Blames Biden’s Late Exit from Presidential Race for Harris Loss

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) suggested Vice President Kamala Harris lost the general election this week due to President Joe Biden’s late exit from the presidential race and bemoaned the lack of an open primary.

“Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” the former House speaker said in a post-election interview with the New York Times‘ Lulu Garcia-Navarro on Thursday. “Kamala, I think, still would have won, but she may have been stronger, having taken her case to the public sooner.”

Europe’s Jews: Canaries in the Civilizational Coal Mine

Twenty years ago this month, a Dutch Islamist named Mohamed Bouyeri slaughtered filmmaker and prominent Islam critic Theo van Gogh on the streets of Amsterdam. The second-generation Dutch-born Moroccan shot the older provocateur several times, then slit his throat. Bouyeri, now serving a life sentence, said he did it for Allah. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Muslim apostate and friend of Van Gogh’s, had to go into hiding for her life after Bouyeri threatened to kill her too.

If you publicly criticized Islam, it wasn’t safe for you to walk on the streets of Amsterdam in 2004. Things have changed since then. As we saw on Thursday night, now all it takes to get you ambushed by violent Muslims in Amsterdam is to be a fan of an Israeli football team. Well, the Netherlands always has prided itself on ‘progress.’

Legacy Media Indict Themselves When They Blame The ‘Right-Wing Media Ecosystem’

Journalists seem poised to learn all the wrong lessons from Donald Trump’s victory this week, repeating a pattern they’ve been unable to shake since the frenzied days of 2016. A moment from CNN’s “Inside Politics” on Thursday is especially instructive — and an ominous portent of the media’s ability to recapture influence.

Laura Barrón-López is the White House correspondent at PBS News and a political analyst at CNN. On a panel with Dana Bash and John King — the network’s chief political and chief national correspondent respectively — Barrón-López made a claim so objectively false is almost defies believability. Bash and King, of course, found it deeply compelling.

Is the majority of white Americans really anti-black?

Now showing more anti white bullshit

“Implicit bias” is catchphrase made largely from claims that the Implicit Association Test, or IAT, can measure people’s unconscious prejudice toward another race, the other sex, or any topic of interest.  The IAT was developed at Harvard University.  Amazingly, the majority of white Americans who have taken the IAT have been classified as anti-black.  Does this make sense?

For the Left, it’s Mourning in America

Let the rending of garments (and the finger-pointing) begin.

The Trump election landslide this week, including the capture of the Senate and House, means a new morning in America. For Democrats, though, it’s just mourning in America.

Donald Trump’s 312-226 electoral vote wipeout dealt a soul-crushing blow to the Party of Joy. But this time, the Democrats can’t even fault the electoral college system that frustrates their power-grabbing ambitions, because Trump handily won the popular vote as well, by nearly 5 million votes. The Democrats have nothing left to blame but each other – and the finger-pointing recriminations started almost immediately as the Trump victory began to look inevitable.

Worst Election Media Meltdowns: An American ‘Nightmare’

It’s been a rough few days for the leftist media elites, they have been in anguish ever since Election Day.

The mix of anger and sadness poured out as they called the massive win for Donald Trump and the GOP a “nightmare” and questioned if America had “given up on democracy.” Journalists like Stephanie Ruhle warned that the voters had just “f’d around” and were about to “find out.”
