Intel Leaks on Beijing’s Interference: Warnings Dismissed for Decades, Now Issue Deeply Entrenched

The latest intelligence leaks about China’s influence operations in Canada are part of a trend that goes back at least three decades, though it has accelerated in recent years.

As early as the 1990s, a joint report by the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) was leaked to the media, warning about Beijing’s operatives and criminal gangs becoming entrenched in various Canadian sectors, but the authorities dismissed those concerns. Decades later, drug operations and money laundering became the subject of a B.C. public inquiry.

Lucki picked the right time to skip.

U.S. seeking allies for possible sanctions if China aids Russia in Ukraine: sources

The United States is sounding out close allies about the possibility of imposing new sanctions on China if Beijing provides military support to Russia for its war in Ukraine, according to four U.S. officials and other sources.

The consultations, which are still at a preliminary stage, are intended to drum up support from a range of countries, especially those in the wealthy Group of 7 (G7), to coordinate support for any possible restrictions.


I question the assumption that CSIS is acting alone, maybe it isn’t involved at all.

Like Ardern & Sturgeon Justin and the Liberal party are in China’s thrall and  likely perceived as a security threat.

Who knows how leaky those 3 have been?

The US needs allies, so maybe it’s taking steps to ensure the Sinophiles like Trudeau, Adhern and Sturgeon are removed.

The NordStream pipelines didn’t commit suicide you know.

Could Chrystia Freeland be heading to NATO after all?

Divisions within the Group of Twenty over what to do about Russia made for awkward conversations at last week’s meeting of G20 finance ministers. The event’s Indian hosts kept trying to change the subject on the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine.

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland refused to go along to get along, however, and accused the lower-level Russian officials who attended the meeting of being accomplices in President Vladimir Putin’s devastation of Ukraine.

Woke Norweigans Try to Replace Christian Holidays With Liberal Festivities

When I moved to Norway from the U.S. in 1999, one of the new pieces of information that most surprised me had to do with its national holidays.

In the U.S., all but one of our 11 federal holidays could be described as secular or civic commemorations: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans’ Day, and Thanksgiving. Even though America is probably the most churchgoing country in the developed world, only one of our federal holidays, Christmas, is a religious festival.

The European energy crisis isn’t over

The continent is still scrambling to find new energy sources

One can — still — almost hear the collective sigh of relief throughout Europe that this year’s winter was one of the warmest in recorded history. While it might be tempting to point to the irony of global warming saving Europe from the consequences of its own climate change policies, the real question is whether the crisis is truly over.

Biden’s trans fanaticism is a menace to freedom

Joe Biden – He ain’t in charge of anything except Window Licking

The president’s conversion to the religion of gendered souls is hurting women, Christians and liberty.

‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof’, says the First Amendment. Someone needs to tell Joe Biden. There’s concern in the US that his 2021 executive order on gender identity, which forbids discrimination on the basis of a person’s stated (imagined?) gender, could interfere with the religious freedom of certain institutions. Now, one of those institutions – College of the Ozarks in Missouri – is fighting back. It’s taking a stand for freedom of conscience and objective truth against the holy strictures of that strangest of new religions, transgenderism.

He’s a pervert, the whole family is.
