Suspects in the largest gold robbery in Canadian history used a little-known encrypted messaging platform called “Threema” to communicate while attempting to buy dozens of illegal weapons, according American authorities.
The encrypted Threema platfrom reportedly saw a rise in popularity in the underworld globally amidst reports that the FBI had used the rival ANOM platform in its investigations, tapping into criminal messaging.
Leftist outlets like The Atlantic seem to have a bad habit of yanking the most insane political ideas out of the ether to make them sound less nutty than they are. Its recent treatment of “degrowth communism” to fight climate change is no exception.
OTTAWA — Canada’s deputy prime minister says the finding that some Canadian members of Parliament were “wittingly” helping foreign state actors is “concerning,” but she trusts that law enforcement will do its job.
Chrystia Freeland’s comments come after a committee of MPs and senators released a report Monday that said intelligence shows foreign actors worked to foster relationships with parliamentarians.
One of the interesting aspects of the Trump conviction is the fact that the Left felt secure in the belief that the nation would stand up and cheer when the verdicts were read. They were, of course, disabused of that notion as they watched the donations to the Trump campaign mount over the weekend. They must also be flabbergasted to have to choke on the bitter submarine sandwich of reality that not every member of the Mega Millions is white, rural, and male. Nope, as it turns out, people supporting #45 for the job #47 come from all walks of life and all races.
OTTAWA — The Edmonton Oilers punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup final on Sunday night but some Conservative politicians and mystified hockey fans weren’t in the mood to celebrate.
Instead of watching the game for free on the CBC, which has the rights to the playoffs, fans had to pony up for Sportsnet or miss the game entirely. Anyone tuning in to their local CBC channel was greeted with the Canadian Screen Awards, which was followed by a Just for Laughs comedy special.
CBC is not a national broadcaster, its audience is found in downtown Toronto and a couple of other urban deserts.
I had no idea there was such a thing as the “Canadian screen awards”.
Who are these people? I can’t ID a single one. I’m serious. Canadian “entertainment” is an unfunny transvestite lecturing about fake graves and Islamophobia.
Royal College of Music students can take a course on the “whiteness and racism” of classical music.
The conservatoire offers an elective module titled “Music and Racism”, which aims to address a “Eurocentric” view of musical education and performance.
Students taking the course are taught about critical race theory and the “whiteness” of classical music.
Conventional wisdom suggests by-elections are a consequence-free way for voters to send a message to the governing party that they are unhappy. But the results of a contest later this month in the riding of Toronto—St. Paul’s may prove quite consequential.
If the Liberals do not win this riding on June 24, and it looks increasingly like that’s a possibility, there will be immense pressure on Justin Trudeau to resign as their leader immediately — “within days,” a well-known Liberal suggested to me over the weekend.
It’s been a pretty safe Liberal seat for years and years so I do not think we’ll see a CPC victory.
And let’s face it this is Toronto. No other city votes as stupid.
If as I expect Freeland’s ex-aide wins then the victory will be hailed as the electorate’s endorsement of Trudeau’s corrupt regime.
“Regular readers of my Substack might recall that back in April, I wrote an article rebutting a blatant piece of propaganda that appeared in an advertorial in the Guardian, paid for by the National Grid.“
Canada needs a public inquiry into what has become known as “The Kamloops Graves Hoax.”
The May 27, 2021 claim of the Kamloops Indian band was that “human remains” were found in the apple orchard area of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, resulting in what has been described both as a “national hysteria” and a “moral panic”. The band subsequently extended the claim to include other even more graphic terms, such as “bodies”, “graves” and even “mass graves.” Emotional articles and books followed.
The endless but nonetheless hilarious humiliations just keep coming for Furiosa, AKA Mad Max with a Sexless Girlboss.
First, this $200 million act of stupidity that dropped a sexless girl into a Mad Max movie flopped on Memorial Day Weekend. Then Furiosa was responsible for driving the Memorial Day Weekend box office to a 26-year low. Then, without any new competition, Furiosa came in third place in week two behind two children’s movies — Garfield and If. Mad Max with a Sexless Girlboss is dying at the domestic box office (still hasn’t topped $50 million after two weekends), dying at the worldwide box office (only $114 million after two weekends), and now we’re told this bomb is killing off an entire movie theatre.
When will it stop? Is an end in sight? Just when we want to believe we’ve seen the worst in antisemitism in Canada and hope that the surge in anti-Jewish hate crimes and related incidents that began after Oct. 7 will subside, we’re hit with a fresh reality check.
Indeed, it’s now almost as if each new day brings more troubling headlines for Canada’s Jewish community about yet another disturbing antisemitic action.
‘It’s really heartbreaking to know that we are not supported’: Muslims tell MPs about their experiences with Islamophobia in Canada
OTTAWA — Following the 2021 terrorist attack that killed four members of a Muslim family in London, Ont., Liberal MP Shafqat Ali no longer felt it was safe enough for his hijab-wearing daughter to walk to school alone.
“That incident has put a lasting impact on every Muslim in Canada,” the Brampton MP told parliamentarians Monday.
Has any country other than Canada ever had such a destructive immigration policy?
Poor immigration source country selection has resulted in the import of numerous ethnic and religious conflicts that have no place in Canada.
Bad policy such as multiculturalism that serves only to balkanize society reinforces those poor choices.
But identity politics reigns in this once beautiful land.
If you vote LPC please have yourself committed to a mental institution.
Ahead of opening statements in Hunter Biden’s gun possession trial, which are expected on Tuesday, his father released a statement that illustrated the fine line he is trying to walk in the midst of his re-election campaign.
“I am the president, but I am also a dad,” said President Joe Biden as jury selection began on Monday.
His statement went on to express support for his son, who could face up to 25 years in prison for allegedly lying about his drug addiction when filling out background documents for a 2018 handgun purchase.
You’re the degenerate Dad of a degenerate son.
Witting. That’s the word in the latest report on foreign interference that changes things.
In the latest review, we don’t just see cases of messing with political messages in a local election or allegations of interference in a nomination race, such as that of then-Liberal, now-independent MP Han Dong.
Now, a committee of MPs has reported that some of their colleagues in politics have known they were helping a foreign state or being helped by one. It suggests that foreign interference sometimes takes two to tango, through a co-opting of Canadian parliamentarians who might get a political benefit from it.
German authorities say they believe there was an Islamist motive behind a knife attack at an anti-Islam rally in the southwestern German city of Mannheim on Friday during which a police officer was killed.
The federal prosecutor, Germany’s highest prosecuting authority with responsibility for terrorism, espionage and international criminal law, is taking on the case due to its “particular importance,” a spokeswoman said.
She said the suspected attacker, a 25-year-old Afghan national and nine-year German resident who was shot by police and remains in the hospital, is suspected to have wanted to prevent critics of Islam from exercising their right to freedom of expression.
Ontario expects to land another EV battery plant
Ontario expects to land another major electric vehicle battery plant, its economy minister said, as Canada’s most populous province tries to capitalize on what it views as a short-lived opportunity to secure the future of its auto sector.
It has already lured commitments for major plants from Stellantis NV, Volkswagen AG and Honda Motor Co., with the help of promises of billions of dollars from government. Ontario has its eyes on three more prospects and is confident it will land at least one, said Vic Fedeli, its minister of economic development and trade.
