Meet the right-wing Canadian influencers accused of collaborating with an alleged Russian propaganda scheme

The social media accounts of two of Canada’s most vocal far-right pundits have fallen unusually silent after U.S. officials accused them of being collaborators of a covert Russian propaganda campaign.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Justice Department unsealed an indictment against two Russian nationals, accusing them of setting up a conservative media outlet as a front for pro-Kremlin propaganda.

True thing: I never heard of Lauren Chen or Tenet media before this story broke.

All of the other “right wing influencers” in Tenet’s stable have issued statements claiming to have been duped by Chen and her husband.

That Southern has not issued a public statement or responded to a CBC request for comment does not imply complicity as CBC hopes.

New details emerge on Iranian-backed plot to potentially assassinate Trump, Haley or Biden

Four days after former President Donald Trump came inches from death during a campaign rally, federal investigators interviewed a man charged in an Iran-backed plot to potentially assassinate the 45th president or two of his political rivals — President Biden or former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, according to an FBI document made public Thursday.

Asif Merchant, 46, a Pakistani man charged in the scheme, recounted his dealings with handler Mehardad Yousef, according to a proffer agreement released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who obtained it from law enforcement whistleblowers.

Suspended Labour councillor denies encouraging violent disorder

A suspended Labour councillor has pleaded not guilty to encouraging violent disorder while addressing a crowd during an anti-racism demonstration in east London.

Ricky Jones, 57, allegedly committed the offence during a speech to a gathering that was organised in response to the nationwide violent disorder, in Hoe Street, Walthamstow, on 7 August.

A video emerged after the protest in which he appeared to call for far-right protesters’ throats to be “cut” during the demonstration. Jones was charged by police with encouraging violent disorder two days later.

He claims he didn’t know that was a bad thing to say.

2 Canadians Face 36 Human Trafficking Charges Following 10-Month Probe

Two Canadian residents are facing 36 human trafficking-related charges following a 10-month interprovincial investigation that started in eastern Ontario last fall.

Reports of suspected human trafficking in eastern Ontario last September led to the launch of “Project Nebula” by a joint police task force known as the Provincial Human Trafficking Intelligence-led Joint Forces Strategy, police said in a press release.

No names released. Of course.

Citizens Apprehend Knife Wielding Mohammedan Meat Thief

Hamilton resident Omar Abugalib has been charged with theft under $5,000, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, three counts of assault with a weapon, assault with intent to resist arrest and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) said two people were injured during an incident at a Fortinos’ grocery store at 2515 Appleby Line yesterday (Sept. 4) at around 2 p.m.

“We responded to what was a theft, and the person responsible produced an edged weapon or knife,” HRPS Staff Sgt. Peter Bishop said. “Other members of the public intervened prior to police arriving. I believe there was a minor injury that occurred when the citizens went to intervene. There was another party who had intervened who also received a minor injury.”

Trump: I’ll hire Elon Musk to make ‘drastic’ changes as US efficiency tsar

Donald Trump has said he will hire Elon Musk to save the US money by cutting government costs if he wins the November election.

Mr Musk, who runs Tesla and SpaceX, revealed in August that he had suggested the idea of a commission to Mr Trump and said that he would be interested in serving on it.

During a speech on Thursday to the New York Economic Club, Mr Trump said: “At the suggestion of Elon Musk… I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms.

Singh decision about cutting NDP ties to Trudeau, not an election prelude

There was likely no New Democrat more relieved to learn that federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh had ripped up his deal with Justin Trudeau than Saskatchewan’s NDP Leader Carla Beck.

Beck is in a tough election fight this fall, trying to break the hold on power that the conservative Saskatchewan Party has held on that province since 2007.

Singh is very nearly as toxic as Trudeau and that state will not be mitigated with time and forgetting.

Putin: I’m backing Kamala Harris as I love her laugh

Kamala Harris has said she laughs “from the belly”, like her mother.

For her supporters the chuckle is a selling point, broadening the Democratic presidential nominee’s popular appeal and producing countless online tributes.

Donald Trump, though, has sought to use the laugh against Harris, offering a nickname for the vice-president — “Laughing Kamala” — and telling one rally: “You ever watch her laugh? … You can tell a lot by a laugh. No — she’s crazy. She’s nuts.”

Jamie Sarkonak: Poilievre should fix Senate with the most unapologetic conservatives he can find

By appointing a raving gender ideologue to the Senate, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did nothing wrong. But boy, is the upper house of Parliament going to be a pain for years to come.

This new Alberta representative in the upper house is Kristopher Wells, MacEwan University professor, Pride Tape inventor, Canada Research Chair and on-call academic activist. He can reliably explain to the uneducated public that all conservative parties in Canada have “been hijacked (by) far-right extremists”; that the federal Conservative party “is now a party of hate, extremism and division”; and that any talk of restricting cosmetic cross-sex hormones is evidence of a “conservative agenda” to “restrict access to life-saving health care for anyone they don’t agree with.”

Foreign Automaker Stellantis Lays Off Thousands of Michigan Workers after Pocketing Hundreds of Millions in Biden EV Subsidies

A multinational automaker laid off more than 2,000 American workers in August after benefiting handsomely from the Biden administration’s subsidies for electric-vehicle production.

Stellantis, the parent company to famous brands like Ram and Jeep, has been awarded hundreds of millions in grants from the federal government to promote its EV manufacturing. But the Biden administration’s largesse has not prevented the company from laying off American workers.

96 Percent Of Spendy Green Policies Do Jack Squat To Reduce Emissions

The Biden-Harris administration has spent more of taxpayers’ money on climate policies than any previous U.S. administration. But a new study found that most of the climate policies enacted in the last 25 years, including the ones the Biden-Harris administration imposed on American businesses and consumers, haven’t worked.

The study, published in the Journal of Science, evaluated about 1,500 climate policies implemented between 1998 and 2022 by 41 OECD countries (The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development). The study found only 63 policies (about 4 percent) that, combined, had successfully “reduced total emissions between 0.6 and 1.8 Gt CO2.” Due to the low success rate, researchers estimate the CO2 emissions from the 41 nations they studied will exceed the Paris Climate Agreement target by 23 billion metric tons by 2030.

No one will change their mind about Hamas

Earlier this summer, my son and I biked over to fashionable east Hackney where it’s normal to pay £4.20 for a coffee and £3 for a croissant and everybody complains about the cost of living. The croissants, by the way, must come from the Dusty Knuckle bakery. I don’t know if it’s the same in other parts of London, but here in the north-east we have our standards.

We’d biked a fair distance, so we found a café that sold Dusty Knuckle croissants and settled in. My son read his book while I eavesdropped on the conversation between three interesting-looking youngish people at the next table. Interesting because they all looked so very typical it was almost surprising. Like going to Australia and right away coming face to face with a koala in a eucalyptus tree.

Did a Lone 20-Year-Old Assassin Outsmart the Secret Service, Pennsylvania State Police, and Butler Law Enforcement?

Every day, more information comes out arguing against the government narrative that a “lone wolf” attack lies behind the assassination attempt against President Donald Trump. The Biden Administration’s feeble attempts through surrogates to deflect and deny have become standard and boring. The variations are endless but the content is the same …
