Jim Cramer, CNBC analyst and host of Mad Money, recommended that his viewers buy shares of Silicon Valley Bank’s parent company last month, before the bank collapsed on Friday.
“The ninth-best performer to date has been SVB Financial. Don’t yawn,” Cramer told viewers during a February 8 episode of Mad Money about Silicon Valley Bank’s parent company.
Justin Trudeau is disappointing Jagmeet Singh. Here’s why the NDP leader is propping him up anyway
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh had tough words for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this week.
“It seems like the prime minister is more interested in protecting himself than protecting the electoral system,” he charged in question period.
With more and more media leaks alleging China’s interference in Canada’s democratic processes, Singh told reporters, it was “really clear” the government’s actions — referrals to two national security review bodies and the impending appointment of a special rapporteur to outline potential next steps — were “simply insufficient.”
Within hours of arriving in the South River Forest last Sunday, Annie, a tall, dreadlocked woman from “another city” with multiple facial studs, hunkered down. Swarms of police were entering the forest, grabbing people from the shadows and cuffing them.
Moments before, she says, a friend she traveled with had gone off “to take a walk through the forest.” Prosecutors say he was on a mission of domestic terror. He was arrested along with 22 other activists that day and is now being held without bond and facing state charges that include domestic terrorism.
Just the other day, while I was talking to some Americans about the foreign-interference uproars that have caused such convulsions up here lately, I tried to explain what was going on with a comparison to the Kremlin’s gambits in cyber-sabotage and dirty tricks on Donald Trump’s behalf during the 2016 presidential election campaign.
Read it all.

Dolly Parton’s sister, Stella, has found herself the target of a woke mob after she posted a series of tweets in which she pushed back against the left’s tendency to blame white people for the country’s problems. “White people aren’t all evil,” she wrote.
Prince Charming has upset Canada’s deep state
Justin Trudeau has had his share of scandals. However, the latest one to hit Canada’s leader has all the makings of a career-killer. Leaks from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) allege that Trudeau ignored its warnings of foreign interference during the 2019 election and, in effect, turned a blind eye to efforts by the Chinese consulate to help elect Liberal Party candidate Han Dong as MP. There were reportedly a total of 11 Beijing-funded candidates: nine Liberals and two Conservatives, though the identities of the others are not yet known.

Canada should see China as a ‘threat’ or ‘enemy’, most Canadians say: survey
Few Canadians are willing to give Beijing the benefit of the doubt when it comes to bilateral relations with Ottawa, according to a new poll conducted by Angus Reid Institute.
According to the survey, 40 per cent said the federal government should approach Chinese government as a threat to its interests while 22 per cent said they believe Beijing is an “enemy.” In contrast 12 per cent of Canadians surveyed said the view China favorably.
… The survey also found that three-in-five of past Conservative voters view China very unfavorably. The portion is 47 per cent for past Liberal voters, 37 per cent for NDP voters and 36 per cent for Bloc Quebecois voters.
Videos and messages from inside Putin’s army show troops deserting, fleeing and struggling to find their teams
Russians sent to fight on the front lines are mutinying, fighting amongst themselves, getting locked in basements and lost in the chaos of a faltering offensive, a flurry of videos and messages from inside Vladimir Putin’s army show.
Recently mobilised soldiers are refusing orders to face “certain death” by joining “human wave” attacks that they say are destroying entire units at a time.
Some are appealing directly to Putin in desperate videos, while others are standing up to Kremlin officials sent to quell the rebellion.
The federal government has two possible paths out of the dead end at Roxham Road. The first route goes through Washington, D.C. – and is largely out of Ottawa’s hands. The second goes through Ottawa – and is entirely within Canada’s control. The best option? Pursuing both paths, simultaneously.
Taking the road through Washington means amending the 2002 Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA), which currently only covers official border crossings, so it applies to the entire Canada-U.S. border. That could be as simple as adding a few words to the existing accord. But that can only happen if the Americans agree, and despite years of quiet diplomacy, they have yet to do so. Unless Prime Minister Justin Trudeau can persuade President Joe Biden to do Canada a favour, then Plan B – the road through Ottawa – may be the only open road.

A request by President Zelensky of Ukraine to appear at the Academy Awards has been rejected by the ceremony’s organisers for a second year in a row, it emerged last night.
Zelensky had been hoping to appear on Sunday’s broadcast following appearances at the Golden Globes and the Grammy Awards.
The Chinese regime’s interference in Canadian elections revealed in recent media leaks is only the “tip of the iceberg,” and anti-Beijing activists say they have a good idea who its favoured candidates are, a Commons committee heard on March 10.
“If we want to say who are the 11 potential nominees that CSIS had kind of mentioned, I can pretty much guess who they are,” said Cheuk Kwan, co-chair of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China.
Kwan was referring to media reporting that the Chinese regime had funded at least 11 candidates in the 2019 election.
The court case for a man accused of drug trafficking has been tossed out after an Ontario judge found it “reasonable” to believe that Toronto police stole approximately $6,000 in cash seized while executing a warrant at the man’s apartment.
The Toronto police officers who searched and seized a quantity of cocaine and money from the accused’s apartment on Weston Road claimed they found a total of $19,390, according to court documents reviewed by CTV News Toronto.
Toronto is really starting to suck.
An investigation by Veterans Affairs Canada has confirmed a now-former employee had inappropriate conversations with four veterans about seeking medical assistance in dying (MAID), while all other allegations were determined to be “unfounded.”
Veterans Affairs released its findings on Friday from an investigation it carried out into the inappropriate conversations.
