McGuinty not ruling out fighter jet purchases from several companies with F-35 decision still pending

Defence Minister David McGuinty says Canada isn’t ruling out diversifying its fighter-jet purchases from more than one company in order to fulfil capability requirements.

“We’re grateful for any forthcoming offer that comes forward,” McGuinty told CTV Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an interview airing Sunday. “If anybody walks into Canada tomorrow from a sovereign wealth fund or with a joint venture in mind or is looking to set up a company in Canada to create 10, 20, 30, 40, 50,000 jobs, game on.”

What a load of BS.

Surprise! Here’s Where Your Taxes to Help ‘Homeless People’ Actually

All over the country, big-hearted Americans have generously given their tax dollars to ostensibly “help the homeless.” California, swimming in tax dollars, lost track of more than $24 billion of homeless spending. Spending on homelessness is being plundered. A new study confirms that at least some of those tax dollars are being hijacked and delivered to extremist political groups.

Post-secondary schools brace for more pain as Ottawa cuts international student visas

OTTAWA – As provincial governments wait to hear details of Ottawa’s new immigration targets, some are warning that coming cuts to the number of international student visas will put colleges and universities in a tighter financial bind.

“The federal government’s decision to unilaterally proceed with another change impacting international students continues to force post-secondary institutions in Ontario, and across the country, to make difficult decisions regarding their long-term success and sustainability,” Spenser Maki, communication adviser for Ontario Immigration Minister David Piccini, said in an emailed statement.

Boo Hoo.

Cold War KGB agent who recruited over 30 informants wins another shot at staying in Canada

A Cold War KGB agent deemed “inadmissible to Canada on security grounds” has won another shot at staying in this country.

Vladimir Popov contacted the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) shortly after he arrived in Canada on a visitor’s visa in August 1995 to tell the Canuck spy agency he’d been a member of the Soviet Union’s Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (KGB) from 1972 until 1991, according to a new Federal Court review. The judge examined Canada’s public safety minister’s March 2024 decision that denied Popov ministerial relief that would allow him to stay in this country because the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) “was not satisfied that (his) presence in Canada would not be detrimental to the national interest.”

Why not? Not the worst we’ve let in.

Quebec immigration minister threatens to cut social assistance to benefit sponge asylum seekers and force them to TROC

Immigration minister reiterates threat to cut social assistance for asylum seekers

Due to the “sustained arrival of a significant number of asylum seekers” in Quebec, Immigration Minister Jean-François Roberge is reiterating his threat to cut social assistance if Ottawa does not reimburse him for the associated expenses.

He refused to say when he would carry out the threat.

“When people have their work permits and months go by, they remain on social assistance, they don’t have jobs, they have trouble putting down roots here, and ultimately, the Quebec government will significantly reduce social assistance so that these people are encouraged to go to another province,” the minister explained at a news conference on Thursday morning.

Rest assured Chow and her puppet masters are licking their chops at the prospect of acquiring more bargaining chips.

Gen Z protests against Mexico president turn violent amid anger over mayor’s death

Mexico – One Piece Flag

At least 120 people, mostly police officers, were injured as thousands marched through Mexico City to protest against the government of Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum.

The demonstration on Saturday was organised by members of generation Z, but ended with strong backing from older supporters of opposition parties.

“For many hours, this mobilisation proceeded and developed peacefully, until a group of hooded individuals began to commit acts of violence,” said Pablo Vázquez, the security chief for Mexico City.

Denmark’s drive to conscript teenage girls: ‘We’re pretty scared’

Along with TikTok videos, weekend plans and history classes, there is another topic of conversation that Signe Le Fevre, 17, from Hobro in northern Denmark, discusses with her friends: whether they will soon be forced to join the army.

“Because that’s apparently a normal thing to talk about now as a teenage girl in Denmark,” Le Fevre says. “I turn 18 in February and it is a worry. Not many of us have a good feeling about it and are actually pretty scared to be selected — including me.”

Todd Howard: A message to those who injured my Jewish daughter in TMU attack

My children are Jewish. Since the October 7, 2023 attack on the Nova Musical Festival, my eldest child has twice been violently attacked in Toronto, in effect, as a result of being born Jewish. The most recent violence perpetrated upon my daughter saw her hospitalized. I speak of the Nov. 5 attack by masked protesters on the attendees of a private event in downtown Toronto where Israeli Defense Forces soldiers were scheduled to speak.

One thing about linking to MSN is the open comment thread on articles. The future is ugly.

Border czar Tom Homan blasts Catholic bishops over deportations

White House border czar Tom Homan criticized the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops on Friday after they issued a statement earlier this week opposing “the indiscriminate mass deportation of people.”

“The Catholic Church is wrong,” Homan told reporters at the White House. “I’m a lifelong Catholic, but I’m saying it not only as a border czar, but I’m also saying this as a Catholic,” he added.

There’s a reason Mark Carney isn’t talking to Donald Trump

OTTAWA—Prime Minister Mark Carney and his team are so over it.

From scampering in search of meetings with President Donald Trump and top U.S. aides all spring, summer and early fall — including the PM travelling twice to Washington and overseas to Egypt where he hailed Trump’s dealmaking — to now shrugging off the current suspension of trade talks, Carney is taking a different tack to Trump. And to the politics of a minority Parliament.

Not negotiating is the new black.

Migrant accused of sex assault claims he would be attacked if deported

A Pakistani migrant accused of sex assault in Britain claims that he would be attacked if deported to his home country.

The unnamed asylum seeker argued that people in Pakistan could target him because of sex offence allegations levelled against him in the UK.

Though his claim for international protection in Britain was initially dismissed, he has now won an appeal as an upper immigration tribunal ruled there had been mistakes in the original decision. He will have his case reheard.
