Recently declassified documents from the Royal Canadian Air Force show how two Air Canada flights spotted a suspected Chinese spy balloon days before it became headline news.
Once classified secret, the heavily redacted “vital intelligence sighting” report and air force “daily log” file from Jan. 31, 2023, offer a glimpse into how authorities initially responded to the high-altitude balloon, which was shot down days later.
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Narcissism, has had her podcast demoted from Spotify to some company in Minnesota.
Oh, how the blighty have fallen.
The RCMP announced Friday they are laying two additional charges against a young person the force arrested in late December on terror-related charges for allegedly plotting an attack on the Jewish community.
They have also charged a second young person as an alleged co-conspirator, the force said in a statement.
The unbearably oleaginous Justin Trudeau has been Canada’s prime minister since 2015, so there hadn’t been much pleasure in watching politics there for quite a while. But just over two years ago, Pierre Poilievre became leader of the Conservative Party and started exercising his dry wit and even garnering attention here.
“In order to preserve life and encirclement, I have withdrawn our units from Avdiivka.”
When he was appointed this month, Ukraine’s new head of the armed forces, Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi, said he would “rather retreat than sacrifice lives”, and that is what he has finally done with this eastern city.
Despite Russians suffering enormous losses, four months of relentless attacks have left Ukrainian troops there outnumbered, outgunned, and with dwindling ammunition.
It is Moscow’s biggest victory since Ukraine’s failed counter-offensive last year.
OTTAWA, Feb 17 (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has relied on immigration to drive economic growth and plug labor gaps, but now he is hitting the brakes after a seismic shift in public opinion that could undermine his chances to win the next election.
It was Trudeau’s father, Pierre, who championed immigration as prime minister in the early 1970s, promoting “multiculturalism” as government policy. Over time, Canadians have come to see the country’s diversity as part of its identity, like the maple leaf and hockey.
“It was Trudeau’s father, Pierre, who championed immigration as prime minister in the early 1970s, promoting “multiculturalism” as government policy. Over time, Canadians have come to see the country’s diversity as part of its identity, like the maple leaf and hockey.”
This propaganda was swallowed by a gullible Canadian public who like the proverbial frog was slowly boiling to death before realizing too late that Canada had been irrevocably harmed by mass immigration and the nation destroying lies of multiculturalism and diversity. It was promoted by the political and corporate classes who view mass immigration as a means to serve their selfish ends at your expense.
What is for some a slow go and daunting political landmine is for others a bigger success story than has been publicly acknowledged — namely, Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, and the American outlook on it could be about to change.
It is no secret that the relationship between President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu is about as warm as the month of February. What is lost in the miasma of increasingly strained relations between Washington and Jerusalem is that irrespective of attempts by the White House to micromanage the conflict and despite comments by Mr. Biden himself that Israel’s military response has been “over the top,” the truth is that some bumps in the road notwithstanding, it has mostly been spot on.
Prominent Canadian anti-woke psychologist Jordan Peterson blasted Pope Francis for neglecting the salvation of souls and focusing on “climate change” and criticized attempts to make the Catholic Church “relevant” since the 1960s and the Second Vatican Council.
On February 11, Peterson joined Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) reporter Colm Flynn to discuss a sundry of topics, including his wife Tammy’s miraculous recovery from cancer, the widespread loss of faith in the Catholic Church since the 1960s, and Pope Francis’ fixation on “climate change.”
President Trump was hit with another hefty verdict at New York on Friday afternoon. A state supreme court justice, Arthur Engoron, published his long-awaited damages decision in the civil fraud case against the Trump Organization, ordering the former president and his family businesses to pay more than $355 million to the state of New York. As devastating as that amount may be, the ruling is not a complete loss for the defense.
The people who targeted a Jewish hospital in Toronto this week with calls for the death of Jews seem awfully concerned about how people see them.
They have been pushing back against those denouncing them with key help from Justin Trudeau’s appointed representative on Islamophobia and a national media organization.
The managing director of the disinformation-peddling media outlet Correctiv met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz days before the ‘secret’ Potsdam meeting, and the publication’s subsequent, grossly deceptive reporting on the gathering.
The outlet’s ‘investigative reporting’ from the meeting—in which it spread brazen lies about a non-existent Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) plan to deport millions of German citizens with migration backgrounds—propelled a wave of anti-AfD demonstrations across Germany and prompted calls for the traffic light coalition to ban the increasingly popular insurgent party.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault is desperately trying to recharacterize his own words since he let his mask slip with candid comments about road infrastructure and electric vehicles.
There is no getting around it. Guilbeault was pretty clear when he told attendees at a fundraising luncheon: “Our government has made the decision to stop investing in new road infrastructure. There will be no more envelopes from the federal government to enlarge the road network,” and “We can very well achieve our goals of economic, social, and human development without more enlargement of the road network.”
How else are we to interpret what the minister said?
One of eight girls alleged to have been involved in the swarming and killing of a Toronto homeless man has been rearrested and charged with assaulting a man at Wilson Station during Thursday’s evening commute, the Star has learned.
Police say they were called to the station near Allen Road and Hwy 401 just before 5:30 p.m. after a 52-year-old man, who was not identified, was involved in an alleged altercation with a 14-year-old girl and “her male companion.”
“During the altercation, the victim was physically assaulted and was stabbed,” a police press release sent Friday said. The victim was taken to hospital where police said his injuries were found to be non-life threatening.

Canadian policymakers are sprinting across the country to rain cash to stimulate homebuilding. Unfortunately, it’s not working with new housing starts actually falling further from targets in January. BMO wrote to investors to explain this is predictable, since the targets were unrealistic and will never be hit. Partially due to the lack of resources available to build at that scale, but also the fact that homebuilders build for the market, not policymakers.
