Alexander Vindman Represents Everything That’s Wrong With Our Officer Class

France just arrested Telegram CEO Pavel Durov for his alleged failure to sufficiently limit criminal activity on Telegram. What “criminal activity” translates to in European terms is anyone’s guess. In Britain, criminal activity is liking memes or posting dissident opinions on social media. The New York Times reported that the Telegram app had been on law enforcement radar partially due to its use by “far-right extremist groups” for communicating, recruiting, and organizing. That’s Clue Number One, the only clue anyone should need to understand. Durov’s only criminal activity was refusing to censor the free exchange of ideas.

Toronto police have arrested 48 people — including 11 youths, the youngest of whom is 14-years-old — and laid 406 charges as part of two “proactive” gun violence initiatives, Projects Community and Springboard.

No word on the Diversity ratio.

Can Justin Trudeau’s Liberals seize on the U.S. Democrats’ success? Here’s where they should start

It was a bit of bad luck for Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, having to hold their annual cabinet retreat on the heels of the wildly successful Democratic convention in the U.S.

The comparisons and the questions were going to be inevitable — why can’t the Trudeau Liberals do that kind of progressive political revival here in Canada?

As minister after minister explained, no one is talking about showing Trudeau the exit door, as the Democrats did with Joe Biden.

Why is Harris bringing Walz to her first major interview?

Three weeks ago, just days after being formally chosen as the Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris was pressed on her plans for a sit-down interview.

“I’ve talked to my team,” she told reporters on the airport tarmac in Detroit. “I want us to get an interview scheduled before the end of the month.”

On Thursday night, Ms Harris will – just barely – make good on that promise, sitting down with CNN’s Dana Bash for her first major interview.

Justin Trudeau’s legacy will be destroying the Canadian consensus on immigration

The “policy” part of a bad immigration policy can be fixed.

The government can, for example, announce a cap on international study permits when it becomes clear that Canada can’t accommodate the 1,028,850 international students it accepted in 2023. It can scale back the number of hours international students are allowed to work off-campus when students who are working close to 40 hours a week are in effect temporary foreign workers with the wrong papers. It can announce a six-month moratorium on applications for some low-wage temporary foreign workers in Montreal when there is a by-election coming up in the city. Wait – no, I meant to say: when unemployment is up in Quebec. Yes, that’s it.

US leads wealthy countries spending billions of public money on unproven ‘climate solutions’

Over $12bn in subsidies awarded for technologies like carbon capture experts call ‘colossal waste of money’

A handful of wealthy polluting countries led by the US are spending billions of dollars of public money on unproven climate solutions technologies that risk further delaying the transition away from fossil fuels, new analysis suggests.

These governments have handed out almost $30bn in subsidies for carbon capture and fossil hydrogen over the past 40 years, with hundreds of billions potentially up for grabs through new incentives, according to a new report by Oil Change International (OCI), a non-profit tracking the cost of fossil fuels.

To date, the European Union (EU) plus just four countries – the US, Norway, Canada and the Netherlands – account for 95% of the public handouts on CCS and hydrogen.

Teen who helped murder homeless man for fun seeks reduced sentence because she felt bad about herself for being strip searched

… It says the girl, who was 13 at the time, was forced to strip naked on four occasions while in custody at a Kingston, Ont., facility in the weeks following her arrest.

The document says she was also made to strip naked twice at a facility in London, Ont., earlier this year while in custody on an unrelated assault charge. She has since pleaded guilty to that charge, court heard.

“I still get that feeling” of feeling dirty, she said, adding she is speaking to a counsellor about it. “It was humiliating, to be honest…. It made me feel really bad about myself,” she told the court.

On the other hand she felt great about offing that homeless guy so there’s that.
