Chinese-made cargo cranes that have been flagged as a security concern by an ongoing congressional probe in the United States are widely deployed throughout Canada’s ports.
A House of Representatives’ joint committee said its investigation turned up evidence of cellular modems on the Chinese-made port cranes that “do not appear in any way to contribute to the operation … raising significant questions as to their intended applications.”
You’d think that a president who had a front-row seat in the Obama administration might be a bit more careful about issuing ad hoc red lines on foreign policy that he knows will be crossed. Nevertheless, that’s exactly what President Biden has done in issuing a red line on an Israeli invasion of Rafah, which is a necessary step to defeating Hamas. In the process, he has set up a historic crisis in the United States relationship with Israel.
Another wave of Daughters of the American Revolution members is contemplating leaving the national genealogical society after it doubled down on allowing men to infiltrate the formerly all-female organization.
National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) national bylaws previously required applicants to be women who “prove lineal, bloodline descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence.” But national DAR leadership has quietly, for years now, without the knowledge of its members, allowed men with altered birth certificates to join DAR chapters across the United States.
At a Dutch museum dedicated to preserving the consequences of Jew-hate, a small girl got to experience that hate, too, as baying mobs waving Palestinian flags screamed out their hatred for Jews at the child.
So now we know. If you’re from a working-class background in a Red Wall constituency and you think Islamism is a big problem, the Tories are not the party for you. That’s the takeaway, surely, from Lee Anderson’s flight from the Tories into the welcoming arms of Reform UK following the confected media stink over his brash comments about Sadiq Khan being too cosy with Islamists. The optics of this are awful. A former miner turned Tory MP pipes up about radical Islam and the eye-wateringly wealthy Rishi Sunak effectively kicks him out? Yikes.
Hollywood’s top-ranked award show will dominate media coverage for the day and will be forgotten well before the week is over. The big FYC billboards will be rolled up and recycled. And the little golden statues will eventually end up on eBay.
The Academy Awards started out as a private industry party and has become that again. And the Oscars are less relevant than ever because Hollywood is less relevant than ever.
Elected governments no longer have the power or will to do what is needed to save our free societies
We are threatened by external and internal dangers. We see and feel them. Politicians, generals and diplomats sound the alarm. Our defences are weak. Our enemies are emboldened. Our streets are disorderly. What follows the stark warnings? Not much. Words do not announce action but cover inaction.
Rishi Sunak appeals for calm and urges the police to do their job: and they arrest an anti-terrorist demonstrator. Is the Prime Minister just a spectator? The Budget ignores national defence, which both parties say is inadequate. Does Jeremy Hunt disagree? Michael Gove seeks a new definition of extremism to enable the Government and the Civil Service to decide who are beyond the pale as partners and recipients of public money. Do they not know?
This is a wild ride. Get yourself introduced to Thomas Townsend Brown.
A teenage girl is in critical condition after another teen repeatedly smashed her head into the ground during a brawl near a Missouri high school.
The fight broke out at about 2:30 pm Friday near Hazelwood High School.
Video of the incident circulated on social media showing another girl bashing the teen’s head into the concrete after throwing multiple punches and sending her careening to the ground.
Éric Zemmour and Marion Maréchal officially launched their campaign for the European elections with a major rally in Paris on Sunday, March 10th, designed to recapture the heyday of the presidential campaign when the Reconquête party managed to gather thousands of enthusiastic activists. The pair intend to publicise their determined fight against the Islamisation of France and Europe.
For the activists who made the trip to Paris, the division of roles was clear: the chant “Marion in Brussels, Zemmour in Paris,” could be heard in the aisles of the Paris Dôme, where around 5,000 Reconquête supporters were gathered.
A company that owns nearly two dozen newspapers in Atlantic Canada has debts of almost $100 million and is filing for creditor protection.
SaltWire Network made the application in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, according to court documents filed on Monday.
The court documents said SaltWire has more than $94 million in debt, with roughly a third of that owed to its lender, Fiera Private Debt.
Abacus Data’s latest survey suggests while Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives saw a slight decline in their lead over the government, that lead persists nonetheless, with that party holding the support of 41 per cent of those polled, compared to 24 per cent for the Liberals – the same spot they were in the last time the pollster took voters’ temperatures.
The smart rats are leaving early … Liberal MP says he won’t run again in battleground GTA riding
OTTAWA — The Liberal MP for a GTA riding that’s expected to see a fierce fight between the Conservatives and Liberals in the next election campaign announced Monday he’s not going to run again.
Tony Van Bynen became the member of Parliament for Newmarket-Aurora in 2019 after serving as Newmarket’s mayor for 12 years. He said Monday that it’s time for him to return to private life and spend more time with his family.
…The ballooning labour force made for cheaper labour that encourages business to skimp on investment in technology and equipment – which leads to lower productivity.
Scotiabank senior vice-president and chief economist Jean-François Perrault notes that Canada already has a productivity problem and low business investment.
Corporate Canada sees that as a feature not a bug.
When a member of a Fredericton synagogue that had been vandalized wrote to local Liberal MP Jenica Atwin to admonish her for not speaking out about it, she responded weeks later with a long letter about “the atrocities in Palestine” and how dedicated she was to helping Gaza.
When you have a message for someone, I suggest making a video and uploading it to TikTok with esoteric hints.
