Canada knows China tried to influence the last two federal elections, according to a top secret briefing report obtained by Global News that said the government “must do more” to fight foreign interference.
“We know that the PRC sought to clandestinely and deceptively influence the 2019 and 2021 federal elections,” according to the briefing released by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

(UPI) — Alec Baldwin pleaded not guilty for a second time to involuntary manslaughter Wednesday in the 2021 shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust.”
Baldwin, 65, who starred in the Western and was an executive producer, waived his right to an arraignment — which had been scheduled for Thursday — and entered his not guilty plea in a court filing.
A former director of Canada’s spy agency says the tendency of government entities to protect and over-classify information plays well with officials who seek to avoid public controversy.
“Over time, the protective culture becomes dominant and this actually sits well with ministers and central agencies and senior officials, especially when … the practical effect is reducing the likelihood of controversy,” Richard Fadden told the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference on Jan. 31.
When I was a kid growing up in the Warrendale section of Detroit in the 1970s, the Polish presence was everywhere. Warren Avenue was “the Strip” of our turf, and it was littered with family businesses with difficult names like the Jarzembowski Funeral Home. There was the Kozy Korner, with Kozy being short for a name I can’t begin to spell. The houses were mostly small, two or three-bedroom homes which began going up in the 1940s.
As the federal government’s popular Canada Greener Homes grant program comes to a close, the energy audit industry could crumble with businesses across the country warning of mass layoffs in the months ahead.
The federal government has signalled the end of the program, which provides up to $5,000 toward energy efficiency upgrades such as insulation, windows and heat pumps. New applications are expected to close by the end of March, but an official timeline is unknown.
In the meantime, business is temporarily booming for companies across the country who conduct the required home energy audits, as homeowners try to secure the grant funding before it dries up.
Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg was given a “final warning” by police before she was arrested for a public order offence, a court has heard.
The 21-year-old was arrested during a demonstration near the InterContinental Hotel in Mayfair on 17 October.
Oil executives had been meeting inside for the Energy Intelligence Forum.
Ms Thunberg appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Thursday after previously denying breaching the Public Order Act 1986.
An organization representing Uyghur Canadians is withdrawing from the public inquiry into foreign interference, a development that threatens to undermine Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue’s ability to hear testimony from all vulnerable diaspora communities facing persecution from China.
The Uyghur Rights Advocacy Project wrote to Justice Hogue Wednesday to serve notice it is formally withdrawing because she granted party standing to former Ontario Liberal cabinet minister Michael Chan, now deputy mayor of Markham, Ont., and independent MP Han Dong. This type of standing means they can cross-examine witnesses and gain access to all evidence collected, including that presented to the inquiry outside of hearings.
Rubber bullets and water cannons were deployed against hundreds of European farmers protesting outside the EU Parliament building in Brussels on Thursday. The farmers threw eggs, set off fireworks, and started fires near the building while demanding that European leaders stop punishing them with more taxes and rising costs imposed to finance a so-called ‘green agenda.’

As the United States and Texas state governments clash over the Mexican border, a very different kind of immigration crisis is taking place elsewhere in North America. Unlike in the divided US, Canada is supposed to be one of the world’s most solidly pro-immigration societies. More than just another self-satisfied Justin Trudeau facade, this attitude has been attested to by historically high levels of public support.
However, an unfolding shift in public sentiment may now change that. Amid a housing crunch and soaring costs of living, Canadians are turning against the prospect of welcoming more immigrants. And the Trudeau government has slowly started to bend under this pressure.
Russell Brand has said accusations of sexual assault made against him are “very, very hurtful”.
The actor and comedian has denied allegations of rape, assault and emotional abuse between 2006 and 2013.
The allegations were reported as part of an investigation by the Times, the Sunday Times and Channel 4 Dispatches.
The Liberal government introduced legislation Thursday that will delay the expansion of assisted dying to include those suffering solely from mental illness to 2027.
Health Minister Mark Holland introduced the legislation and Justice Minister Arif Virani told reporters that the delay was needed until Canada’s health-care system is ready to implement the expansion.
“Because of the significance of the decision, because of the nature of the consequences of this kind of policy; we have to ensure that we get it right, and we’re determined to do just that,” Virani said.
EUTHANASIA PROGRAM AND AKTION T4
The goal of the Nazi Euthanasia Program was to kill people with mental and physical disabilities. In the Nazi view, this would cleanse the “Aryan” race of people considered genetically defective and a financial burden to society.
The Liberal Party’s zeal for the state sanctioned murder of the “unfit” is not unique in history.
Civil servants have been taught that rolling their eyes or looking at their mobile phones can be evidence of sexual or racial discrimination and so have been trained to nod their heads to promote transparency and inclusion.
The public workers were being encouraged to spot “microaggressions”, innocently intended gestures or words interpreted as showing hostility to women or minorities.
More than £160,000 has been spent by the government since 2021 hiring private sector consultants to train staff to see these perceived slights,The Times has discovered.
These racist loons don’t even pretend it’s all about hating whites any longer.
Last November, Dublin was in flames. Protests against immigration turned into a riot and videos of the carnage went around the world. The inexcusable violence has been leapt on by an Irish elite desperate to demonise all opposition to immigration and push through new hate-crime laws. But as Ella Whelan explains in our latest video polemic, this dismissive approach is no longer going to cut it. Irish people don’t hate migrants. They have no time for the thuggish far right, either. But they are furious about the establishment’s handling of immigration. And they are not going to be quiet anymore.
Compare the above with this elitist piece from the Globe. This is the same slander Trudeau’s Liberal party has used against Canadians who dare speak out against mass imigration.
Ireland’s drift to the right
In a country with a reputation for welcoming the needy, nationalist groups are feeding on growing anger at Middle Eastern and African asylum seekers, Ukrainian refugees and lack of housing
A Russian ransomware gang allegedly infiltrated a technology company responsible for handling top-secret documents from US intelligence agencies, like the FBI.
The notorious group Blackcat, also known as ALPHV, is threatening to release the classified documents if the company, Technica, does not contact them soon.
Technica is a veteran-owned company that provides technology solutions to support the Federal Government’s mission to defend and protect America.
