Kooky David Frum: Trump’s L.A. Riot Response Is Dress Rehearsal for Midterm Military Takeover

Lunatic

On Sunday, The Atlantic magazine published a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory by David Frum based not on fact, but entirely on the speculation of a fervid liberal imagination.

In “For Trump, This Is a Dress Rehearsal,” Frum provides his theory that former President Donald Trump called out the National Guard during the immigration riots in Los Angeles to prepare for a military takeover of the 2026 midterms.

Alleged Canadian hacker unmasked after threatening cybersecurity researcher

When an alleged hacker known as “Waifu” violently threatened her online, cybersecurity researcher Allison Nixon set out to unmask them.

Now Connor Riley Moucka, a 25 year old from Kitchener, Ont., is being held in Canada as he awaits extradition to the U.S. to face multiple criminal charges. U.S. authorities accuse Moucka and his accomplices of hacking into at least 10 organizations and stealing troves of sensitive records like payroll and banking information. By holding stolen data for ransom, they allegedly extorted US$2.5 million in Bitcoin from three of their victims.

“I was not working on him until he started posting threats about me,” Nixon told CTVNews.ca from New York City.

The Feds Are Investigating the Dark Money Bankrolling the L.A. Riots

The Trump administration is vowing to find out who’s bankrolling the L.A. riots because normal American people out there don’t like it when they’re tax dollars are misused to underwrite arson and looting. Taxpayers didn’t sign on to underwrite the left’s anti-American public spasms of insanity. Underwriting these bad actors with government grants is tantamount to forcing taxpayers to underwrite the protests by the loons of the Westboro Baptist Church. It’s insulting and ridiculous.

CHARLEBOIS: Our dairy addiction is making Canada a trade pariah

When it comes to supply management and trade policy, Canada seems trapped in a cycle of repeating the same costly mistakes.

Before Mark Carney’s arrival as prime minister, the previous Parliament adopted Bill C-282, introduced by the Bloc Quebecois. The bill granted blanket immunity to Canada’s supply-managed sectors — most notably dairy — against any future concessions in trade negotiations, regardless of the partner or economic context. It effectively locked in protectionism for a system that is already struggling to justify itself in the modern global economy.

F-35 program facing skyrocketing costs, pilot shortage and infrastructure deficit: AG report

Canada’s plan to buy 88 U.S.-built F-35 fighter jets is facing significant challenges, including skyrocketing costs, a shortage of trained pilots and a lack of critical infrastructure, according to a new report from Auditor General Karen Hogan.

The audit for the F-35 program is part of Hogan’s spring audits, released Tuesday, which also found contracts awarded to GCStrategies for the ArriveCan app and other services regularly did not follow proper processes or deliver value for money.


This sounds like the prep for exiting the purchase agreement.

World fertility rates in ‘unprecedented decline’, UN says

In all countries, 39% of people said financial limitations prevented them from having a child.

Namrata Nangia and her husband have been toying with the idea of having another child since their five-year-old daughter was born.

But it always comes back to one question: ‘Can we afford it?’

She lives in Mumbai and works in pharmaceuticals, her husband works at a tyre company. But the costs of having one child are already overwhelming – school fees, the school bus, swimming lessons, even going to the GP is expensive.

It was different when Namrata was growing up. “We just used to go to school, nothing extracurricular, but now you have to send your kid to swimming, you have to send them to drawing, you have to see what else they can do.”

Fed Up with Migrant Chaos, Dutch Citizens Set Up DIY Border Checks

European voters are increasingly frustrated at establishment parties ignoring their demands for tougher migration controls. In the Netherlands over the weekend, a group of citizens gathered near the border with Germany near Ter Apel to stop cars and conduct asylum seeker checks themselves.

They decided to take action after ‘centre-right’ coalition parties blocked asylum reforms, prompting Geert Wilders to take his right-wing populist Freedom Party (PVV/PfE) out of the government.

Fewer Americans visiting Canada. ‘Americans welcome here’ ad campaigns ask that Yankee Running Dogs ignore our knee-jerk anti-Americanism

Fewer Americans are visiting Canada. Ad campaigns assure them they’re welcome here

Late last year, Dan Davis of Cleveland, Ohio, began planning a motorcycle trip with friends this summer that includes several days in Ontario.

But those plans became a little uncertain after U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January and imposed tariffs on Canada, sparking a trade war. That, coupled with Trump’s frequent threats to make Canada the 51st state, has sparked anger among many Canadians.

Davis noted that, in February, Canadians booed the U.S. national anthem at several NHL hockey games, and in March, the Canadian government ran a billboard campaign in a dozen U.S. states, including Ohio, declaring that Trump’s “tariffs are a tax.”


Long before the current tariff war many Canadians held America in open contempt, it is the cornerstone of their ‘nationalism’ .

There is no hypocrisy like a smug Canadian’s hypocrisy. Hey Americans give us your money while we spit on you!

Tories support Liberal defence spending hike, but still want a budget

OTTAWA — While the Tories support the PM’s plans to greatly bolster Canada’s defence spending, they still want figures in black and white.

Speaking to reporters ahead of Question Period on Monday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre renewed his calls for the Mark Carney Liberals to release a budget sooner rather than later.

He’s fading into the background. No wonder Carney wants a long summer break.

Uber to bring self-driving cars on to Britain’s streets next year

Uber is preparing to test fully self-driving taxis on London’s roads for the first time.

The US ride-hailing company confirmed on Tuesday it had signed a deal with Wayve, an autonomous driving and artificial intelligence start-up founded in Cambridge, to pilot its technology on UK roads from next spring.

The trials come after Heidi Alexander, the Transport Secretary, brought forward rules that will allow advanced driverless taxi and bus services to operate on British streets from 2026.
