18-year-old Pharrell Smith of Alabama was arrested earlier this month and will face a terror charge after threatening to shoot Black people at the Opelika Fair.
The threats were posted on Facebook last month, under the moniker ‘Dylann Cruz’ and featured a Confederate flag.
Will Ottawa City Manager Steve Kanellakos turn out to be the Alexander Butterfield of the Freedom Convoy hearings going on in the nation’s capital?
Butterfield is the former White House deputy chief of staff whose 1973 testimony before the U.S. Senate committee investigating the Watergate burglary revealed that then-president Richard Nixon had had a secret audio recording system installed in the Oval Office to tape every conversation between Nixon, his staff and visitors.
The ‘naive’ German government is walking into the same trap with China as it did by over-relying on Russia for its energy, says the leaders of Germany’s intelligence community.
Many Canadians have doubts that a federal freeze on handguns would be effective in deterring firearms-related crimes, an in-house Privy Council study has found.
“Most were unsure as to the practicalities and realities of such a policy,” said the study titled “Continuous Qualitative Data Collection of Canadians’ Views,” which also said that “a large number expressed concerns about a potential freeze.”
After the Canadian deputy prime minister’s declaration in Washington, D.C., last week that the “end of history” has itself now officially come to an end, Chrystia Freeland is bringing her message home to Canadians.
But as Freeland announced that we must abandon the optimism that post-communist countries would gradually turn into healthy democracies and good global citizens, some critics were warning that she was helping to widen a new great divide in trade and politics that may not be as favourable to Canada as the original Cold War.
Canada’s kind and gracious grocery overlords have bestowed upon civilians a most wonderful gift. This treasure, glistening in the sun’s brightest yellow and with words of bold black tourmaline, shall adorn the homes of all Canadians from Victoria to St. John’s, Whitehorse to Toronto. Man, woman and child will, for the next three months, rejoice in this bounty at a cost equivalent to what it is now.
Good read, it nicely details the hypocrisy of this stunt. I remember finding a largish piece of wood in some No Name Peas, probably from a skid. Galen wouldn’t take my call.
Sweden’s new foreign minister has ditched its pioneering “feminist foreign policy”, saying the label has become more important than its content.
But Tobias Billstrom said “we will always stand for gender equality”.
The previous left-wing government launched the policy in 2014, becoming the first in the world to put gender equality at the heart of its dealings with other nations.
The self-labelled “feminist government” had ruffled feathers globally.
OTTAWA – Midway through the Freedom Convoy protests, Canada’s spy agency worried that they were being used as a “recruiting ground” for other causes but saw no sign of foreign threat actors supporting the movement.
A first glimpse into assessments of the convoy by Canada’s secretive intelligence agencies is contained in a summary of a call between municipal, provincial and federal government officials on Feb. 6, nine days after protests began in Ottawa.
PM Trudeau, Poilievre spar over recession concerns, affordability bill
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sparred in the House of Commons on Tuesday over concerns of a looming recession and how the federal government should be tackling inflation, with Trudeau accusing Poilievre of “blocking” the Liberals’ bill to implement housing and dental benefits.
Tuesday’s Question Period saw a back-and-forth between Trudeau and Poilievre, with the Conservative leader accusing Trudeau of “bragging about” the $500 top-up for low-income renters as part of the proposed affordability legislation, while adding “these days, you can’t even rent a dog house in the backyard for that kind of money.”
Trudeau is a thief.
OTTAWA – MPs are coming under pressure to broaden an exemption to a planned federal handgun freeze to include a wider range of sport shooters — an idea prominent firearm-control advocates firmly oppose.
In May, the Liberal government announced a plan to implement a freeze on importing, buying, selling or otherwise transferring handguns, in order to help quell firearm-related violence.
Canada’s annual rate of inflation cooled to 6.9 per cent per cent in September, according to Statistics Canada.
The agency said the drop in the headline figure was largely thanks to lower gas prices.
But prices on food purchased from the grocery store continued to soar, rising 11.4 per cent to a new 41-year high.
Justin Trudeau, Canada’s charismatic young Prime Minister, seeks to cultivate a progressive image. The Wall Street Journal calls him “the world’s golden boy of liberal politics,” while lamenting that a corruption scandal tarnished his “rock-star popularity.” Much of his progressive façade, however, rests on an embrace of identity politics. And, as often happens when ethnic lobbies trump individuals, radicalism wins while the silent majority loses out.
Grief and outrage in France over the murder of a 12-year-old girl found dumped in a plastic trunk in Paris has turned into a political row over the migrant status of the suspect.
Lola’s body was found last Friday in a courtyard outside the apartment block where she lived.
A 24-year-old woman has been remanded in custody on suspicion of murder, rape as well as acts of torture.
It has also emerged she is an Algerian immigrant under orders to leave France.
Canada’s hold on the outer reaches of its Arctic territory is “tenuous” and will face significant challenges from both Russia and China in the future, the country’s top military commander warned a parliamentary committee on Tuesday.
Gen. Wayne Eyre, the chief of the defence staff, told the House of Commons defence committee — which has embarked on a study of the country’s security posture in the region — that the Far North does not face an immediate threat.
“Right now, today, we don’t see a clear and present threat to our sovereignty, not today, not this week, not next week, not next year,” Eyre said.
Former President Donald Trump’s first White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, voiced outrage after a jury in Alexandria, Virginia, dealt a significant blow to special counsel John Durham’s criminal investigation into the FBI’s Russia inquiry.
On Newsmax, where he co-hosts the show Spicer & Co., Spicer gave an early reaction to Russian national Igor Danchenko being found not guilty Tuesday on four false statements charges over allegations that the main source of British ex-spy Christopher Steele lied to the FBI about his sourcing for the now-discredited anti-Trump dossier.
