The German government has deported 28 Afghan criminals to Kabul for the first time since the Taliban returned to power three years ago, a policy shift following intense pressure to crack down on illegal immigration.
The men, who included convicted rapists and offenders deemed capable of terrorist attacks, were each given €1,000 cash before boarding a Qatar Airways jet, taking off from Leipzig airport shortly before 7am on Friday.
Rumors about Justin Trudeau’s relationship with former Cuban president Fidel Castro have once again surfaced – this time in Donald Trump’s latest book.
Fact-checkers have long dismissed the claim that the Canadian Prime Minister is the son of the late revolutionary leader – and both governments have been pressed to say the link is bogus.
But that has not stopped the former US president and Republican hopeful from repeating the myth in his latest work, ‘Save America’.
There have been a few papers in the medical journals on the curious problem of excess deaths persisting beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, most notably Mostert et al., which openly wondered if the COVID-19 vaccines are playing a role (and which made the mainstream media). As promised, I have gone that one little step further, showing that European excess deaths do indeed correlate significantly with COVID-19 vaccination.
Shortly after Canada Post’s top executives warned of “unsustainable” finances and the need for “significant changes” to survive, the federal government has little to say about what solutions are necessary.
Board chair André Hudon told the Crown corporation’s annual general meeting Wednesday that the national mail carrier is at a “critical juncture” as it struggles to compete against e-commerce platforms like Amazon and faces dropping demand.
Horse and buggy?
The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades says employer abuse of foreign workers is running “rampant” in the construction sector and Ottawa should pause the temporary foreign workers program entirely until an independent audit is conducted to investigate the scale of fraud and misuse within the program.
The construction union said in a statement Thursday it discovered financial abuse of migrant workers at a British Columbia painting company. At least one of the workers has since been approved for a government program that converts closed work permits to open work visas if applicants can prove they suffered severe abuse and exploitation by their employer.
We have been waiting ever since the day Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race for Kamala Harris to sit down in front of a camera and take questions from an interviewer. And if nothing else, we have learned why: In the friendliest possible format — a joint interview with VP nominee and emotional-support midwesterner Tim Walz, conducted by Dana Bash with the delicacy of an ornithologist gently hand-feeding hatchling chicks — Harris has revealed that her gaseously mindless word-cloud of a campaign is in fact an accurate reflection of her own personal vacuousness.
Two things are becoming abundantly clear regarding the “investigation” into the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump. First, nobody trusts the FBI. Secondly, everybody is complaining that the FBI is stonewalling and withholding information about the alleged shooter, and therefore, the entire sordid event is quickly turning into a Kennedy assassination–like conspiracy. In other words, nobody trusts the FBI.
Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., has made a political career out of “misspeaking.” Why stop now?
The No. 2 on the Democratic Party’s forced dream team campaign ticket, featuring the joyous empty vessel Vice President Kamala Harris, was back to doing what he seems to do best Thursday night. After several weeks of evading actual questions, Harris and her running mate sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash for the first semi-substantive interview of their honeymoon campaign — more than a month after President Joe Biden’s political wake.
Yesterday, finally, the kween deigned to engage with her subjects. Yes, Kamala Harris did her first sit-down media interview since replacing Joe Biden on the Democratic presidential ticket nearly 40 days ago. For more than a month she’d maintained a monarchical distance from the grubby presses, flat-out refusing a one-to-one with any of its probing hacks. Now she’s relented and had an exclusive chat with CNN’s Dana Bash. The end result? Only one word will do, and it’s a word normally aimed at the other side: weird.
Hunter Biden’s defense team in his upcoming tax evasion trial will not be allowed to introduce evidence that childhood and family trauma caused his spiral into crack cocaine and alcohol addiction, a judge has ruled. The federal district court judge, Mark Scarsi, ruled that the 1972 car crash that killed Biden’s mother and baby sister, and the death of his older brother, Beau Biden, in 2015, are “irrelevant” to the case.
The anti-immigration, anti-globalist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party is set to achieve its best ever election result as it contests two regional elections in the states of Saxony and Thuringia on Sunday, September 1st.
If confirmed, such results would signal a spectacular rejection of Germany’s ruling parties and could strengthen populist voices across Europe.
The Trudeau government treads water, gasping for air. Their desperation has led to consistent, aggressive overreach into provincial jurisdiction, creating a constant looming threat to the constitutional balance of power in Canada.
Every year, the inner ring of Ottawa’s power players — cabinet — heads off to a quiet part of the country in order to devise the future direction of the country. At last years’ cabinet retreat, the federal government was plotting its recovery in the polls, trying to fend off a new political threat in the surging Conservatives and Pierre Poilievre.
A week after the Doug Ford government announced the closure of 10 supervised injection sites in Ontario within 200 metres of schools, harm reduction activists had moved on from denial and were well into the second Kubler-Ross stage of accepting the dire news — anger.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which represents many of the staff members at the five Toronto injection sites set to close by the end of March 2025, organized a press conference Monday to express their collective rage.
Hoping to avoid a repeat of last year’s hateful anti-Israel campus protests this fall, a Jewish group is putting university administrators on notice.
In letters addressed to the heads of over 80 schools across the country, B’nai Brith Canada is urging universities to apply existing anti-racism and DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) policies to ensure Jewish students are protected from hate — particularly with the anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks just around the corner.
