Electric car drivers ‘spied on by government’ through phones

Millions of electric car drivers in Britain were spied on by the government through their mobile phones as part of a “bizarre nanny state” plan, it can be revealed.

Customers of O2, as well as other operators including Tesco Mobile, were monitored on the government’s behalf if their mobile internet history and app records showed they visited a site related to electric vehicles (EVs) once a month on at least two occasions.

Department for Transport officials commissioned O2 to spy on 25 million devices as part of a £600,000 study intended to produce a “comprehensive evaluation and understanding of the uptake and usage of electric vehicles”.

Communist China Gifts Carney His Own Personal Surveillance Device

China’s premier gifted Carney an ‘action camera.’ Security experts suggest: ‘dump it’

OTTAWA — China’s second most powerful politician gifted Prime Minister Mark Carney a high-end “action camera” with a selfie stick during his visit last month. Security experts recommend Carney dump it immediately.

Carney didn’t just leave Beijing in January with the promise of lower tariffs on Canadian canola and a commitment to lower Canadian border levies on some Chinese electric vehicles.

Trump Confirms 48 Iranian Leaders Have Been Killed in U.S.-Israeli Strikes

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday morning that Operation Epic Fury has already eliminated at least 48 senior Iranian officials, including the former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Speaking with Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, President Trump said that the United States has a specific list of priority targets remaining after dozens were taken off the board during the opening salvo of the joint U.S.-Israeli military operation on Saturday.

Canada should not have an election before reviewing CUSMA trade deal, says Poilievre

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Canada should not have an election before it reviews the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) this year, and is instead calling for the Carney government to set up an all-party committee on the matter.

“I think that being united will be a real force going forward. We have disagreements, but I think all parties agree that we want tariff-free access to the United States,” Poilievre said in an interview on The Bridge that airs Monday.

Ilhan Omar snaps back at ‘drunk’ Nancy Mace for suggesting she is mourning Khamenei’s death

They both went there.

Lefty Dem Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Sunday bashed firebrand GOP Rep. Nancy Mace as a “drunk” for suggesting she and fellow “Squad” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) were mourning Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death.

Mace of South Carolina had sarcastically posted online Saturday — after Khamenei’s death was announced — “My heart goes out to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib tonight.

This doesn’t sound like the Pierre Poilievre we’re used to

Pierre Poilievre says he would rather work with Prime Minister Mark Carney to fight Donald Trump than plunge the country into another election to choose which man is the better negotiator.

The Conservative leader declared that choice in a 40-minute podcast interview with former CBC anchor Peter Mansbridge, featuring some fascinating glimpses into how Poilievre intends to shift his tone this year.

Just no pleasing The Star.

Three ships attacked near Strait of Hormuz as fears grow of oil price rises

At least three ships have been attacked near the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran continues to launch strikes across the Middle East in response to an ongoing attack against it by the US and Israel.

Two vessels have been struck, and an “unknown projectile” was reported to have “exploded in very close proximity” to a third, the UK Maritime Trade Operations Centre (UKMTO) said.

Iran has warned ships not to pass through the strait, which carries about 20% of the world’s oil and gas.

WARMINGTON: Iranian-Canadian activist’s gym shot up hours after ayatollah’s demise

The overnight shooting at a boxing gym run by a well-known activist for Iranian freedom is being investigated by York Regional Police.

But since it occurred just hours after the announced death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei following military strikes by the United States and Israel on Tehran, a call to the federal government and CSIS as well would seem to be appropriate.

The world’s most evil regime is on the brink – and Britain has nothing to do with it

Usual suspects attend Pro-Mullah Regime Rally in London

Where was Britain? As missiles killed the Ayatollah in Tehran, his office in London remained open. His ambassador has not been expelled. His Revolutionary Guards have not been banned in this country, even as they are under attack in their own.

Iran, together with its allies in Beijing and Moscow, is the clearest global evil since the Nazi regime. Its tentacles stretch into Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq, and into the campuses, mosques and protest movements of Britain. Yet our response has been more Neville Chamberlain than Winston Churchill.


PM Carney rules out Canada’s military participation in Middle East conflict

MUMBAI, India – Prime Minister Mark Carney said while he has had discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump about the possibility of strikes in Iran over “recent weeks,” he does not expect Canada to take a military role in any continued escalation, after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran, Saturday.

That’s probably a good thing given Canada’s contribution would likely begin and end with our elite “Silly March Brigade”

The UK has a huge 5th column of dangerous Muslims as do France & Germany so it’s understandable that the Brits would seek appeasement. The US has its share but allows for an armed citizenry and that makes all the difference.

Pierre Poilievre: We united the right in Canada (then lost)

When Mark Carney took to the stage at Davos this year, he cast himself as the spokesman for a new alliance of middle powers, banding together against an erratic and aggressive America. Within days, the Canadian prime minister was being hailed as a liberal counterweight to President Trump.

Had events unfolded slightly differently nine months earlier, it would have been Pierre Poilievre, not Carney, representing Ottawa on the world stage. Betting markets last year gave the 46-year-old Conservative from Calgary a 90 per cent chance of becoming prime minister. Instead, a rapid chain of political shocks reshaped the country’s trajectory. It was a case study in how quickly political fortunes can turn. Rather than win the country, Poilievre lost his seat.

FBI says ‘indicators’ of terrorism in downtown Austin mass shooting

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Three people died, and at least 14 others were injured in a shooting on West Sixth Street overnight Saturday into Sunday, according to Austin-Travis County EMS.

Federal partners, including the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), also responded to the scene.

America Has Occupied Canada, in the Creative Mind of a Toronto Artist …

A speculative public art series that began in alleyways and on buildings and a tennis court fence is opening as a chilling new show at Western University.

Last winter, as Canada was becoming the persistent target of economic, verbal and social media attacks from President Trump, the Toronto multimedia artist Dara Vandor got to work imagining a nightmarish scenario — the annexation of Canada by the United States.

She hung the result — an aluminum plaque, 18 by 24 inches, memorializing a fictitious surrender on Aug. 11, 2031 — in an alley near her home. She did not expect to be continuing the narrative in the continuing series “Pax Americana” a year later.

For nine months Ms. Vandor produced and posted 18 historical plaques in stairwells and a forest, and on buildings, telephone poles and chain-link fences in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Tofino, British Columbia. The signs recounted disturbing scenarios: an invasion by U.S. troops, a Canadian resistance and then a quick surrender in straightforward, chronological detail. Each plaque can stand alone, but taken together they tell a whole story.


A Paint by Numbers effort using her elbows would be more creative than this tedious exercise in Knee-Jerk Anti-Americanism.

I doubt Trump has much interest in acquiring the dumpster fire that is southern Ontario or yet another TDS suffering “creative”.

The C.I.A. Helped Pinpoint a Gathering of Iranian Leaders. Then Israel Struck.

Ayatollah Khamenei – “Mi smouldering rubble es su smouldering rubble”

Shortly before the United States and Israel were poised to launch an attack on Iran, the C.I.A. zeroed in on the location of perhaps the most important target: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country’s supreme leader.

The C.I.A. had been tracking Ayatollah Khamenei for months, gaining more confidence about his locations and his patterns, according to people familiar with the operation. Then the agency learned that a meeting of top Iranian officials would take place on Saturday morning at a leadership compound in the heart of Tehran. Most critically, the C.I.A. learned that the supreme leader would be at the site.


Our Liberal-Left can crazy with the best any nation has to offer.
