Prime Minister Mark Carney played down the Trump administration’s suspension of a United States-Canada defence co-operation body and rejected its suggestion Ottawa has not boosted defence spending.
Elbridge Colby, the U.S. undersecretary of defence for policy, announced Monday that Washington was putting the 86-year-old Permanent Joint Board on Defense on hold and accused Canada of failing to live up to its military responsibilities, despite Ottawa boosting defence spending over the past year.
Germany’s domestic intelligence agency has warned that Iran could expand covert operations across Europe once fighting with the U.S. and Israel subsides, raising fears of attacks on Jewish targets, Israeli institutions, and opponents of the Tehran regime.
The Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV) said Iranian dissidents and other individuals regarded by Tehran as “traitors” would face particular danger if the regime increases its intelligence and proxy activities across the continent.
A federally funded effort to boost park visitation by building small cabins for non-traditional campers cost at least $15 million and may have failed to recover its expenses, according to an internal evaluation that found significant gaps in financial recordkeeping.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the review of Parks Canada found that hundreds of “diversified accommodation” units — small cabins installed across national parks — were built at an average cost exceeding $57,000 each, with no clear evidence the program ever achieved full cost recovery.
Don’t sweat it the Muslims will be turning those cabins into mini-mosques.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Emergency rooms are known for long waits — whether in Canada or south of the border — but they’re still among the shortest delays in health care.
Seeing a specialist, however, can take months, sometimes leaving nervous Canadians languishing as they await treatment, surgery, or both. In the U.S., the wait times are shorter, but access may be limited by one’s ability to procure and pay for insurance.
In Canada its already open season on the “bothersome”.
For years, author Mark Steyn mentioned no-go zones and unassimilated communities. In 2017 Raheem Kassam authored the book No Go Zones: How Sharia Law is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You. A comment about the book included the following:
“As I read this book, I had forgotten how many people have been murdered in the West in the name of Islam. The commonness with which these attacks are occurring is frightening and even more so, is how numb we’ve become to it. How much blood will be shed before politicians acknowledge the root cause of the problem? Europe is being transformed before our very eyes and everyone is just averting their gaze. This ignorance is allowing these extremist attitudes to fester and the unwillingness to criticize Islam is the catalyst of this problem.
Now almost a decade later, the New Direction – the Foundation for European Conservatism has published “No-Go Zones Immigration, Islamisation, and the rise of Parallel Societies.”
The warning signs have been there for decades. Back in 1983, American author Barbara Ehrenreich wrote a powerful book — The Hearts of Men: American Dreams and the Flight from Commitment — arguing that a male revolt was underway. Since the 1950s, she suggested, men had begun rebelling against the breadwinner ethic, inspired by Playboy culture, the counterculture and a desire for personal freedom. They were rejecting the cultural ideology that had shamed them into tying the knot and becoming a good provider, lest they be seen as immature, irresponsible and less than a real man.
Ehrenreich understood that marriage was the mechanism by which society harnessed male productivity. Remove the shame and the yoke comes off.
THE Iranian regime is reframing its ‘tolls’ on traffic in the Strait of Hormuz as a ‘maritime insurance policy’.
On Saturday, Fars – a media outlet associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) – reported that it has seen a plan by Iran’s Ministry of Economics to force shipping companies to pay ‘verifiable insurance policies’.
Ebrahim Azizi, the chairman of the National Security Committee to Iran’s Parliament, also said that Iran has prepared a ‘professional mechanism’ to permit ‘only commercial vessels and parties co-operating with Iran’.
The good news is that Hillary Clinton is no longer the worst presidential sore loser ever. The bad news is that Hillary at least confined herself to putting the country through hell for four years by spreading the false claim that Trump was a secret Russian agent, leading to covert surveillance, government investigations, mass censorship and a near coup until her big lie finally fell apart.
In the last decades of the 20th century, California reinvented a brash new capitalism that created new, more innovative archetypes. Today, some of those companies – Apple, Google and Facebook – are among the largest in the world, with assets greater than those of all but a few countries.
A Department of Justice report says hundreds of Muslims in Canada have reported workplace consequences linked to their political views, particularly support for Palestine.
The report, A Qualitative Look at Serious Legal Problems: Muslims in London and Toronto, attributes the findings to advocacy and legal support data provided by the Canadian Muslim Lawyers Association of Toronto, which says it has assisted more than 300 individuals who faced workplace repercussions related to their political expression.
Pork sausages were served to men being deported to Pakistan as part of a full Irish breakfast despite the country’s Muslim-majority population, a human rights monitoring report has revealed.
The catering blunder took place on Ireland’s first chartered deportation flight to Pakistan, which removed 24 men from Dublin to Islamabad on September 23 last year.
A monitor appointed by Ireland’s Department of Justice said gardaí complained that the food served on board was ‘of a lower standard than expected’ and that including pork sausages in a ‘full Irish breakfast’ was ‘inappropriate’.
Is French cuisine in the process of being largely replaced by junk food? The debate is nothing new. In Gaullist France, processed industrial food was a nightmare for food lovers, who saw motorway restaurants triumphing over Michelin-starred establishments. Then came the onslaught of McDonald’s, Quick, and Burger King, torn down with diggers by angry farmers. Today, the enemy goes by the names of Tasty Crousty and Master Poulet, fast food chains flooding France’s youth with reconstituted chicken pieces coated in an implausible layer of stuff meant to crunch when you eat them.
