State actors have done ‘significant harm’ to Canadian companies, says head of spy agency – Trudeau’s Liberal government not named leading many to question report’s integrity

State actors have done ‘significant harm’ to Canadian companies, says head of spy agency – Trudeau’s Liberal government not named leading many to question report’s integrity

The head of Canada’s spy agency said today Canadian companies in almost all sectors of the economy have been targeted by hostile foreign actors — and named Russia and China as two of his main sources of concern.

“The threat from hostile activity by state actors in all its forms represents a significant danger to Canada’s prosperity and sovereignty,” said David Vigneault, director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, in his first public speech in three years.

“Our investigations reveal that this threat has unfortunately caused significant harm to Canadian companies.”

Russia and China are certainties but how could he forget to include Trudeau’s Liberals?

Meet Carl Hart: parent, Columbia professor – and heroin user

“I am now entering my fifth year as a regular heroin user,” writes Carl Hart in his revelatory new book, Drug Use for Grown-Ups. Fifty-four-year-old Hart is the Ziff professor of psychology at Columbia University. Regular heroin use and high academic achievement are not two pursuits that we expect to see in the same life story. At least not openly. Heroin is by popular consensus the worst of drugs, the one that leaves users hopelessly strung-out and slavishly addicted. How can you be a regular user and hold down a prestigious Ivy League professorship? And why would you admit to it?

As Hart continues: “I do not have a drug-use problem. Never have. Each day, I meet my parental, personal and professional responsibilities. I pay my taxes, serve as a volunteer in my community on a regular basis and contribute to the global community as an informed and engaged citizen. I am better for my drug use.”

Football fans blast historian’s woke op-ed which claims Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ name is problematic for ‘romanticizing’ cutthroat pirates

Football fans have blasted a historian’s woke op-ed which claims that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ name is problematic for ‘romanticizing’ cutthroat pirates.

Jamie L.H. Goodall, a staff historian at the U.S. Army Center of Military History, published her Washington Post op-ed on Friday ahead of Super Bowl LV, in which the Buccaneers faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs for the NFL championship.

‘While this celebration of piracy seems like innocent fun and pride in a local culture, there is danger in romanticizing ruthless cutthroats who created a crisis in world trade when they captured and plundered thousands of ships on Atlantic trade routes,’ Goodall wrote.

Canada’s defence minister won’t say if he told PM, cabinet about Vance allegations in 2018

Canadian defence minister Harjit Sajjan refused to say whether he told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or his cabinet of allegations of inappropriate behaviour levelled at former chief of defence staff Gen. Jonathan Vance after he was alerted to the military chief’s alleged behaviour in 2018.

During an interview with The West Block’s Mercedes Stephenson, Sajjan said he was unable to discuss what was said between him and an ombudsman in 2018 for confidentiality reasons, adding that he didn’t want to “undermine” the trust of the women who had already come forward with allegations.
