Trudeau Government Unresponsive to Taiwan’s Offer to Help With Beijing Interference, Committee Hears

“No, we haven’t got a response from the Canadian side yet,” Mr. Tseng said during his testimony before the House of Commons National Defence Committee on Sept. 21.

Gangs and inmates evicted from ‘self-run’ Venezuelan prison

A Venezuelan prison run by its inmates like a small town, complete with a zoo, a disco and a swimming pool, has been cleared out by government authorities in an operation involving 11,000 security personnel.

The Tocorón prison, about two hours outside the capital, Caracas, has for years been what local aid organisations euphemistically called “self-run” — meaning that gangs, rather than the prison guards, were in charge.

Devastating risks of transitioning to ‘green’ energy: Mining for electric-powering minerals has left 23 million people exposed to toxic waste, 500,000km of rivers polluted and 16 million acres of farmland ruined

Tens of millions of people — more than live in the entire state of Florida — are now exposed to toxic water runoff from metal mining, a new study has found.

The report lays bare the devastating impacts that can follow a reckless transition to ‘green’ energy, compounding the ecological damage wrought by over 150 years of drilling and mining for fossil fuels.

The researchers found that 23 million people worldwide, as well as 5.72 million in livestock, over 16 million acres of irrigated farmland and over 297,800 miles worth of rivers have been contaminated by mining’s toxic byproducts seeping into the water.

The woke mob is ruining Oktoberfest

Cultural appropriation, organic chickens — what is the world coming to?

Cockburn wouldn’t be so skeptical of the radical left nearly as much if they didn’t have an insatiable need to suck the joy out of holidays. First they replaced the Christmas tree with the Kwanzaa bush. Then they told us that tofurkey tastes just as good as the real thing. Now, they are attempting to crush Oktoberfest too.

A spokesperson for Google said the company was reviewing the allegations.

The case was filed in civil court in Wake County on Tuesday.

Foreign Interference: RCMP investigate death of B.C. man targeted by China

The RCMP is investigating the death of a B.C. man who was a target of Operation Fox Hunt, a Chinese government campaign to pressure expatriates and silence opponents.

Wei Hu, a 57-year-old father of three, lived in a gated $2.8-million property on B.C.’s Harrison Lake. According to a friend, he was a critic of Beijing who left China in 2000.

But even in Canada, he could not escape the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which issued a so-called Red Notice through Interpol seeking his arrest and return to China for supposed financial crimes.


Offed in 2021? The RCMP is only just getting round to this?

No stink will be raised about this of course.

The CSIS leaks happened because Justin wanted to normalize relations with his ChiCom friends.

Trudeau is a danger to our nation’s security.
