Recent intelligence leaks that revealed Chinese agents trying to manipulate Canadian election outcomes were just the latest wake-up call that the Beijing regime is not a responsible international stakeholder, let alone a trustworthy friend or partner of Canada.
The World Food Program’s manic rhetoric could lead to accusations of crying wolf
David Beasely, head of the UN’s World Food Program, has said that 350 million people are at risk of hunger and 50 million are “knocking at famine’s door.” Cockburn sees this as a serious humanitarian issue, which is why he is also concerned about the UN’s growing messaging problem. For years, the UN has raised the alarm about impending famines, but in most cases — either because of its efforts or other factors — such catastrophes have not yet come to pass. This is excellent news, and speaks to the skill and dedication of aid workers both in the UN and beyond — but it also risks creating the false impression of crying wolf.

The mood inside a downtown Toronto courtroom turned grimly quiet Wednesday after prosecutors played video footage of a five-year-old girl lying on her side and bleeding from her head moments after she had been shot while attending a baby’s birthday party.

William Whitworth, 19, who goes by the name Lilly and is referred to with female pronouns in arrest documents, was arrested on March 31. She was a student in the school district that she planned to attack between 2014 and 2016, authorities say.

Two Canadian women arrested after repatriation from camps in northeastern Syria
The RCMP have arrested two Canadian women in Montreal after the government repatriated them from a camp in northeastern Syria for ISIS suspects and their families, said their lawyer Lawrence Greenspon.
Greenspon told CBC News the Crown is seeking a terrorism peace bond, which would mean the women would have to live under certain conditions for up to a year.
“It’s not surprising, but what it demonstrates is that Canada has the ability to repatriate these women and children and then deal with any concerns that they have through the Canadian justice system, which is the way it should be,” he said.

A confidential poll last year indicated widespread concerns expressed by Canadians who think the federal government is not leading the country in the right direction.

Chinese government appears interested in pulling EU away from US, when Biden administration has sought to shore up allies to counter Beijing
China’s muted response to the historic meeting of Tsai Ing-wen, the Taiwanese president, with Kevin McCarthy, the US House speaker, comes as Beijing prioritises a flurry of diplomatic activity aimed at its wider efforts to lure the European Union and other nations away from the United States.
Ms Tsai’s meeting was the highest-level government reception for a Taiwanese leader on US soil in decades, and one that China protested in advance.

I’m not sure there is a single positive comment.
