This is a period of Liberal reflection, we are now told by Justin Trudeau himself. That is naturally needed to digest his party’s gut-punch by-election loss in Toronto-St. Paul’s.
And there’s another thing he didn’t mention: The drumbeat of Liberals calling for the Prime Minister to go.
Satellite images appear to show that Cuba is building a new radar site likely to be capable of spying on the US’s nearby Guantánamo Bay naval base, in the latest upgrade to the country’s surveillance capabilities long thought to be linked to China.
The base, under construction since 2021 but previously not publicly reported, is east of the city of Santiago de Cuba near the El Salao neighborhood, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said in a report published on Monday and later referenced by the Wall Street Journal.
Cuban vice foreign minister Carlos Fernandez de Cossio denied that Cuba was harboring Chinese military interests on the island.

The rise of electric vehicles helped bring environmentalists and the Canadian auto sector closer together. Now, the threat of Chinese-made electric vehicles is pushing them apart.
A schism between the two sides came into view last week after the federal Liberals announced a 30-day consultation on how to protect Canadian auto workers from what Deputy Prime Minister Chyrstia Freeland characterized as a potential flood of cheap EVs from China.
It’s not a healthy market period and likely to collapse without China’s help.

The National Post has learned that police leaders in London, Ont. have known for months that staggering amounts of “safer supply” opioids are being diverted to the black market. Yet the London Police Service (LPS) failed to share this information with the public despite a raucous national debate about whether, or how much, such diversion is occurring.
Joe Biden’s infirmities and their contributions to the president’s maladroit performance have imposed a paradox on the country. The Democratic Party has been reduced to making the negative case for Biden — not that he is a particularly adept president or that his presence in the Oval Office is desirable in itself, but that he is a better steward of the executive branch than Donald Trump. That wouldn’t be a remarkable strategy for an unpopular incumbent save the fact that the incumbent and his movement increasingly mirror all that they despise about Trump.
If it wasn’t clear at the beginning of President Joe Biden’s tenure at the White House, which kicked off the largest border invasion this nation has ever seen, it is clear now that every state is a border state suffering from the consequences of unchecked, preventable crimes committed by foreigners.
San Francisco just took home WalletHub’s “worst-run” city in America title for the second year in a row—which is hardly surprising, considering this is the place where you download a “poop map” before braving the city sidewalks, open-air drug markets and dirty tents fill the formerly clean Tenderloin district, and a walking tour with a sardonic sales pitch sold out weeks in advance—participants were promised an intimate experience with the urban decay of the “progressive” city, and offered the chance to “get close and personal with the Doom and Squalor of downtown San Francisco.”
Despite repeated victories by Geert Wilders and his PVV parties, the political establishment in the Netherlands and the EU did everything possible to block him from actually taking office. And despite the massive PVV victory in the last election, that’s still the case.
But Wilders’ PVV is the largest party in the new governing coalition, which includes a mix of good and bad parties, and will hold the immigration ministry.

Is this the week that Europe’s much-anticipated far-Right wave finally crashes down upon us? As the results of France’s first-round vote trickled through yesterday, almost every media outlet — from the BBC to The New York Times — carried stories of Marine Le Pen’s “far-Right” victory. Meanwhile, just over the border in Belgium, came warnings of Viktor Orbán’s plan to form a new “far-Right” pact in the European parliament. Throw in the AfD’s “far-Right” party congress on Saturday, and it’s been a busy few days for the movement.
It is time for Joe Biden, the president of the United States, to submit to a medical assessment performed by a group of independent doctors, doctors who are given carte blanche to release their findings. After Biden’s alarming performance at last week’s presidential debate, his stumbling over words, his inability to form a coherent argument, his slack jaw and blank stare, it became undeniable that something drastic had happened to the 81-year-old leader of the free world. It is time for the public to know what is wrong—and what isn’t wrong—with him.

Two Halifax lesbians were brutally attacked by a mob of Muslim men believed to be from Syria.
The women, Emma MacLean and Tori Hogan, were celebrating a birthday June 22 in the city’s downtown area at about 1:30 a.m. local time, when the group of about a dozen Middle Eastern men verbally accosted them with rude comments about their sexuality.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — For those of you who don’t celebrate World UFO Day, consider this:
A former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer told Congress last summer about a government program that retrieves and reverse engineers unidentified flying objects.
The Mexican Congress held an unprecedented session in September during which supposed mummies were presented as “nonhuman beings that are not part of our terrestrial evolution.”
And NASA now has a director of research for unidentified flying objects, or what it calls “unidentified anomalous phenomena.”
Evidence shows US is hiding knowledge of alien life: Ross Coulthart
Dr Paul Thigpen, professor and author of “Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Catholic Faith,” discusses how religious practices may change one’s perspective on UFO sightings and encounters.
PS. That was a cheap by AP including those silly space mummies.
Ukraine will be told it is currently too corrupt to join Nato, in a major blow to Volodymyr Zelensky.
The alliance will request “additional steps” from Kyiv before membership talks progress, a senior official in the US State Department said.
The position will be set out in writing in the Nato communique to be signed at the alliance’s annual summit on July 9.
An expert opinion, submitted pro bono last November to the Hague Court of Appeals by three eminent American scientists, presents a devastating refutation of climate catastrophism. Their conclusions contradict alarmists’ sacred beliefs, including that anthropogenic carbon dioxide will cause dangerous climate change, thus obliterating the desirability, let alone the need, for net-zero policies that by 2050 would inflict US$275 trillion in useless expenditures on wealthy countries and harm the poorest people in the world’s poorest economies. Predictably, the study has been ignored by mainstream media.
