Left-wing think tank responsible for thousands of fake Russia stories: new Twitter Files

A left-wing think tank erroneously claiming to track Russian online activity was responsible for thousands of bogus stories asserting the nation’s influence in US politics, according to the latest batch of Twitter Files.

The Hamilton 68 “dashboard” was the brainchild of former FBI special agent and MSNBC contributor Clint Watts and operated under the Alliance for Securing Democracy, a think tank founded in 2017 — shortly after former President Trump took office.

Rex Murphy: If CBC cared about diversity, it would host Jordan Peterson global warming talk

I know there have been others. But none has had such a continuous and insistent presence.

No other issue has had the sweet, soft, giddy support of the big networks, the great corporations, the trendy school boards, every mad virtue-signalling politician (the chieftain of which is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau), and the whole wide and multitudinous, amoeba-replicative (and dreadful) NGOs — think of the various foundations, of which I nominate the Suzuki Foundation as the Canadian prince of these dull harrying grouplets — as global warming.

‘History will tell’ if Canada’s military facing new decade of darkness: defence chief

Is Canada’s military facing a new decade of darkness amid persistent personnel challenges and growing demands on the force from around the world?

“History will tell,” said Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre in an interview with The West Block’s Mercedes Stephenson, airing in full on Sunday.

Crappy and or broken equipment with faint prospects of replacement because it’s all gone to Ukraine.

The woke alienation of their traditional recruitment base, white males, has nothing to do with personnel problems, because white males are racists and were driving away transgender recruits.

Canadian theater sparks outrage after announcing black-only performances

A taxpayer-funded Canadian theater organization has sparked outrage after announcing an event that will only allow “Black-identifying audiences” to attend.

The National Arts Centre in Ottawa is putting on a “Black Out” night at its Babs Asper Theatre on Feb. 17 — the middle of Black History Month — for the performance of “Is God Is,” a play written by and starring Black women.

“A Black Out is an open invitation to Black-identifying audiences to come and experience performances with their community,” the theater announced earlier this month.

Trudeau Tells Liberal MPs to ‘Be Ready For Anything’ Because of Minority Status

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau implicitly told Liberal MPs on Jan. 27 to be ready to campaign in an election due to the minority status of their government, in a speech during the party’s caucus retreat that focused on accomplishments and criticized Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre.

“We need you to keep stepping up in your communities,” Trudeau said.

“You’re all working the ground hard to get yourselves nominated once again, because we’re in a minority Parliament, and we need to be ready for anything.”

Proof Prince Andrew photo is not a fake

The Mail on Sunday today reveals crucial evidence that the infamous picture of Prince Andrew with his alleged teenage sex victim is genuine – demolishing claims by the Duke and his supporters that it could be fake.

The photograph of Andrew with his arm around 17-year-old Virginia Roberts has dogged him since it was first published by The Mail on Sunday 12 years ago and ultimately led to his downfall.

Since then, the 62-year-old Prince has suggested the devastating photograph could have been altered with digital trickery, while his former friend, jailed sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, claimed just last week that it is a fraud.

Confessions of a shoplifter: As food costs soar and self-checkouts multiply, more people are stealing — and they’re not sorry

Tony has been shoplifting most of his food and he feels no guilt.

“I shoplift 80 per cent of my groceries,” the Toronto-based 32-year-old said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Since moving to the city from North York two years ago, his monthly pay of

$2,000 isn’t enough to live on amid rising costs, he said, and he’s struggling to pay the bills.

Shoplifting — theft under $5,000 — is a criminal offence in Canada. But that hasn’t deterred Tony, who feels that stealing from big supermarket chains to survive should not be a crime.

Mr. Shakey ‘Shakedown’ Johnson

An activist at a slavery reparations meeting in California blasted the $223,000 payments proposed for black residents in the state – yelling almost a quarter of a million dollars for each person is ‘not enough’.

The eye-popping outburst came from Reverend Tony Pierce who voiced his dissatisfaction after California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Weber opened up the floor to the public.

Nine task force members held the meeting in San Diego and welcomed guests for public comments to discuss California AB 3121, the bill signed by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom looking into reparations for black ctiziens.

Mom’s so proud.

13 Migrants from Mexico and Vietnam caught trying to flee Trudeau’s dystopian hell hole for U.S.

American agents arrest 13 from Mexico and Vietnam trying to enter U.S. from New Brunswick

American officials say Border Patrol agents in Maine recently accused 13 foreign nationals – seven adults from Mexico and six from Vietnam – of illegally entering the United States from two locations in western New Brunswick.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency issued a statement Thursday saying human smuggling along the Maine-New Brunswick border may not be as big a problem as elsewhere along the U.S. border, but this “transnational criminal activity” is cause for concern.

Soros-Funded Fake News Operation Pushes Facebook to Reinstate Trump Ban

A progressive billionaire-funded network of Democratic propaganda sites masquerading as legitimate news websites is leading the push to keep former president Donald Trump off Facebook and Twitter.

Courier Newsroom, which bills itself as the “largest left-leaning news network in the country,” organized a petition this week to pressure Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Elon Musk to keep Trump off their platforms. Facebook said Thursday it would reinstate Trump “in the coming weeks.” Twitter reinstated Trump in November, but the former president has not posted on the site. Both sites banned him in January 2021, under pressure from Democratic lawmakers and liberal advocacy groups.

How China and Russia are getting their hands on banned Western tech

The order from David Wetzky was innocuous enough. His company, Strandway LLC, was hoping to buy a piece of technology from a US manufacturer: an oscilloscope scanner typically used to test electronics.

In reality, Wetzky did not really exist. It was a pseudonym used by Boris Livshits, a Russian citizen accused of posing as a legitimate businessman so he could smuggle high tech electronics and semiconductors out of the US.

The devices were shipped in April last year to a quiet town in America’s suburbia, Merrimack in New Hampshire. From there, they were allegedly picked up by Israeli-American Alexey Brayman, who repackaged the technology, tore up the invoices and added fake export documentation before sending them to Europe, US court filings state.
