The Pentagon is defending its steady rollout of weapons to Ukraine even as officials in Kyiv say the assistance is coming too slowly — and it might already be too late to help turn the tide of the war in Ukraine’s favor.
On Wednesday, POLITICO detailed criticisms from high-ranking Ukrainian officials, who said they can’t defend the frontlines any longer: “There’s nothing that can help Ukraine now,” one of the officials said.
Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has lost track of over 28,000 foreign fugitives who have active deportation orders, according to newly released documents, with hundreds having prior criminal convictions in Canada or abroad.

Someone, somewhere, appears to have taken a blowtorch to Canada’s immigration system. It’s a mess. We have too many people, and not enough homes, not enough transit, not enough health care infrastructure. International students are lining up at food banks and homeless shelters. Canadians’ attitudes on immigration are becoming more negative.
Who set fire to our once-enviable immigration system? Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is on a mission to find out. Just as soon as he gets all of this soot out of his hair.
In Spain, long lines at electric car charging stations over the holiday travel weekend showed what can be expected from a future filled with electric cars.
Easter weekend is a peak travel time in Spain, with beach hotels fully booked and summer homes enjoyed by city-dwellers taking refuge in rural villages. El Debate reports that this year saw huge lines at the country’s main electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Waiting in line for as long as two hours just to plug in EVs was just the prelude to even more time spent charging them.
Mary Walker said she got a “bit of shock” when she opened up a piece of mail from the City of Toronto last month, informing her that she owed more than $2,500 in taxes for the “vacant” Scarborough condo where she currently resides.
She said she was hit with the unexpected tax bill after she failed to make her Vacant Home Tax declaration for 2023 and the city deemed her condo unoccupied.
“Obviously it is a bit of shock to get this kind of bill in the mail,” Walker told CP24.com on Thursday.
They tax you for being away from home.
Among this week’s many disturbing revelations about the Trudeau government’s official indifference to Beijing’s interference operations during the 2019 and 2021 federal elections, what might come as the biggest shock to most Canadians is just how easy it was for Chinese high school students to be bused in to vote for Beijing’s favoured candidate in a Liberal party nomination race in the Ontario riding of Don Valley North.
President Joe Biden pushed Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take concrete steps to minimize civilian casualties in Gaza in a call between the two leaders on Thursday and urged his counterpart to agree to an “immediate ceasefire” deal with Hamas.
Biden linked continued U.S. support for Israel to Netanyahu’s willingness to take “measurable” steps to reduce civilian casualties after a group of aid workers were killed in an accidental Israeli airstrike while delivering food in Gaza on Monday.
Rain drips down the glasses of new recruit Toivo Saabas, tracing the contours of the green and black face paint that completes his camouflage.
Lying on the saturated ground, and peering through the sight of his gun, the only frailty that threatens to give away his position is the plume of air he breathes out silently into the icy Estonian forest.
Then comes the deafening call to attack.
The 25-year-old springs to his feet. Forming a line with his brothers in arms, he bounds through the trees towards the Russian border.
A cyber security official at the US State Department had noticed something unusual. An internal IT security system, nicknamed “Big Yellow Taxi”, had flagged unusual activity on its corporate Microsoft account.
The tech team quickly raised its concerns to Microsoft, hopeful that the alert was just a false positive.
What rapidly emerged, however, was that a Chinese government hacking group – codenamed Storm-0558 – had compromised the emails of hundreds of US government officials.
The problem with leftism is that it boils down to “anything to achieve power.” That means that your situation constantly changes as you keep adapting to the moment’s power demands. One minute, you’re all about women; the next minute, women take a back seat to so-called “trans women.” (i.e., men). Yesterday, blacks were your main constituency; today, it’s all illegal aliens all the time. Intersectionality turns into a literal intersection with a massive multi-car crash. That’s the case in Canada, where a debate rages over using socialized medicine to create a fake vagina for a “trans woman” who wants to keep “her” penis.
The trial of two men, charged in a 3-year-old street brawl in a California beach town, could soon reshape the image of one of the most debated political movements in America: Antifa.
Opening arguments Tuesday laid out conflicting views about the roles Brian Lightfoot and Jeremy White played in a heated protest in the San Diego neighborhood of Pacific Beach on Jan. 9, 2021, three days after the Capitol insurrection.
That day, far-right protesters ended up in a string of violent brawls with anti-fascist counterprotesters. Prosecutors, however, focused solely on Antifa, charging 11 defendants with dozens of felonies.
Saudi Arabia assumed the presidency of the UN Commission on Women’s Rights. Iran holds the presidency of the UN Disarmament Forum. And there is more.
Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie and Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland are accused of “white supremacy”. The two children’s classics are being treated ike Hitler’s Mein Kampf never was.
York St John University, England, has added a moral censure to the two books and Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days. “Colonialist narratives,” say the academics. The vocabulary and illustrations are “racist,” “upsetting and offensive.” Peter Pan is lethal with references to “savages”. In Verne, Phileas Fogg travels across continents divided by imperial powers. Another university censored Peter Pan for its “gender stereotypes.”
An employee who works at the site of one of the largest bank heists in Los Angeles history has suggested the Ocean’s Eleven-style break-in was an ‘inside job’.
The FBI and LAPD are still trying to piece together how burglars breached the roof of GardaWorld in Sylmar on Easter Sunday without triggering any alarms.
