A Canadian warship was deployed to the Bering Strait in July to keep an eye on a Chinese polar research vessel as it navigated the passage between Russia and Alaska, underscoring Beijing’s growing interest in the region.
The HMCS Regina shadowed the Chinese Research Vessel Xue Long 2 sometime between July 7 when it left its home port of Esquimalt, B.C., and July 25 when it returned.
As many as one million chickens were killed in Japan when an apparent theft of copper wires shut down air conditioning facilities at a poultry farm.
About 170 metres of wire connecting the farm building to an onsite power transformer were taken in the early hours of Tuesday morning in Shibukawa, about 90 minutes northwest of Tokyo.
The Trudeau Liberals have abruptly scrubbed dozens of Government of Canada web pages detailing more than $24 billion in payments to COVID-19 contractors, per Blacklock’s Reporter.
The publicly-accessible database was deleted only weeks after Treasury Board President Anita Anand promised to “make sure we have transparency in government contracting.”
A new poll shows the share of Canadians feeling pessimistic about the federal government has reached a new high.
This should come as no surprise. Years of poor policies have left Canadians with a stagnant economy and declining living standards. Despite the Trudeau government’s recent focus on younger generations, young people appear to be the most pessimistic of all.
Don’t try this at home.
‘L’audace, l’audace, toujours l’audace.”
So says George C. Scott’s General Patton in the eponymous movie when his comrades want another day’s rest during the Sicilian campaign.
No one is going to mistake Kamala Harris for Patton, or even George C. Scott, but her latest tack on immigration honors his call for “audacity, audacity, always audacity.”
The opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics were deeply offensive to Christians around the world. Numerous people from across the denominational spectrum have described this event as blasphemous and even demonic.
However, I would like to say something to the non-Christians who may be uneasy about the opening ceremonies but cannot quite explain why. Perhaps the opening ceremony bothers you, but you’re not quite ready to align yourself with its Christian critics.
Don Lemon is suing Elon Musk and X for breach of contract after the owner of the platform canceled a short-lived partnership deal following a testy interview.
Lemon and X cut an agreement for the former CNN host to produce content on the platform after he was let go from the network. The complaint, which Lemon’s team said was filed Thursday in California Superior Court, said X agreed to pay Lemon $1.5 million and a cut of advertising revenue in a one-year deal. But X and Musk never intended to fulfill the deal, the complaint alleges.
Did the Southport riot symbolise a return of the English far-Right? The English Defence League has been blamed for this week’s attack on the Southport Islamic Society Mosque, during which protesters pelted police with bricks while chanting “No surrender” and “English ’til I die”. In response, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has threatened to declare the EDL a terrorist organisation.
I recently traveled by car to Baltimore to seek medical testing at Johns Hopkins Medical Center.
I was shocked to see the many empty and boarded-up buildings between the Inner Harbor area, the athletic arenas for baseball, and football and the Johns Hopkins Medical campus.
While most other Western leaders are the blind leading the blind, Orbán focuses on the future with unmatched clarity.
Not since Richard Nixon has the West has the West had a national political leader who thinks about geostrategy as profoundly as Hungary’s Viktor Orbán. Love him or hate him, the man is profound. His long speech at July’s Tusványos meeting in Romania marks Orbán out as a true visionary, one whose reach transcends the limits of the moment, and ranges far beyond the borders of his small Central European nation. It is, in fact, a very Orbánist point that what makes him such a compelling civilizational thinker is that he is so deeply rooted in Hungarian soil, and the lessons it teaches about human nature.
An unrecognizable nation.
Half the country thinks something has gone drastically wrong in America, to the point that it is rapidly becoming unrecognizable. Millions feel they are virtual lab rats in some grand research project conducted by entitled elites who could care less when the experiment blows up.
Consider: Our military turns over $60 billion in state-of-the-art weapons to terrorists in Kabul and then flees in disgrace?
Last week, UK culture secretary Lisa Nandy made it plain that she had no objections to men competing in women’s competitions in this year’s Paris Olympics. The sporting bodies know best, she claimed, and should be allowed to make their own rules around sex and gender as they see fit.
“Thoughtful, determined and focused.”
That’s how Liberal Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson described China’s climate policies at a press conference in Nova Scotia on Wednesday.
Worse than Soviet era Pravda.
Reality is teaching some important lessons to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about flirting with the ideal of virtually open borders. So are Canada’s premiers and the public.
Particularly in regard to asylum seekers.
For months B.C. Premier David Eby and Quebec Premier François Legault have been almost frantically trying to send a message to Trudeau and his childhood friend, Immigration Minister Marc Miller, that they should no longer indulge in their romantic rhetoric of the past.
Snipers were positioned in a building near former President Donald Trump’s rally in a way that they could not see Thomas Crooks, the man who fired at Trump, local officials said on July 31, rebutting testimony from the U.S. Secret Service’s acting director.
“Where our people were was the far-right side of the AGR building. Their views in no way could have seen Crooks without pushing their heads outside the window and looking back,” Detective Patrick Young, who heads the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit, told CNN.
“The videos and the exhibits presented to Congress are purely wrong as to what they’d actually seen,” he added.
