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.

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.

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.

Belgium Admits Gaza Arrivals Wearing Pro-Hamas Jihadist Symbols

Junior Jihadi

Belgium’s ongoing evacuation of people from the Gaza Strip has triggered a political storm after footage emerged of two young boys arriving at Ostend Airport wearing black sweatshirts printed with large images of an M16 rifle.

The pair was among 75 Palestinians evacuated at the end of October, part of a wider humanitarian operation that has brought around 850 people to Belgium since 2023.

The incident has sparked renewed debate over screening procedures for arrivals from conflict zones.

BORG: Viral Remembrance Day clip exposes CAF’s lack of marching skills

Canadians did not need a leaked report, an auditor’s warning, or a parliamentary inquiry to tell them the Armed Forces are in trouble. All it watching them march, or rather, failing to do so.

The now viral CTV clip from the November 11, 2025 Remembrance Day ceremony in London, Ontario shows uniformed Canadian Armed Forces personnel attempting a solemn parade march.

Why do I imagine CAF deciding military style marching was too heteronormative colonial ding dong whatever.

True scale of America’s mutant meat scandal sparks alarm in government

Advisers to Robert F Kennedy Jr fear cloned meat and animal breeding could become a divisive issue inside the Make America Healthy Again movement.

The Daily Mail understands that the use of cloned animals in the US food supply is seen as a ‘complex problem’ among Kennedy allies.

The topic gained renewed attention this week when Canada announced it would allow cloned meat products to be sold in supermarkets without any disclosure – a practice the US has quietly permitted for nearly two decades.

Couric and Burns Lament Left’s Declining Influence In History Education

Ken Burns Revisionist-Historian

Bad camera angles were not the only thing wrong with former CBS and NBC anchor Katie Couric’s Friday interview with PBS documentarian Ken Burns on her Substack page. After spending much time on Burns’s upcoming series on the American Revolution, the pair moved on to discuss the state of history education in the country more broadly, which Couric described as “going backwards” and Burns labeled as being in “an autocrat’s interest.”
