A small, USAID-like federal agency called the African Development Foundation refused to hire white people, and treated white employees who did slip through so poorly that one soiled herself because she was afraid to leave her desk to use the bathroom, employees told The Daily Wire.

A group of wealthy Canadians calling themselves “Patriotic Millionaires” is banding together to lobby governments to increase the amount of taxes they must pay, with a campaign patterned after similar movements in the United States and United Kingdom.
But there is already pushback on the concept — even before the group officially launches in Canada — with the opposing view being that higher taxes would drive entrepreneurship away from this country.
All three of them!
Mexico has sued Google for changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name to Gulf of America for Google Maps users in the United States.
Announcing the legal challenge, Claudia Sheinbaum, the Mexican president, said: “The lawsuit has already been filed,” without saying where and when it was submitted.
The move comes after Donald Trump instructed the US Board on Geographic Names to change the gulf’s name within hours of taking office, after arguing that the ocean basin was “ours” and the US did “most of the work there”.
Let’s get something straight off the top: I’m not suggesting we abandon our climate goals — we need to adjust them. Adjust. That’s the key word, because right now, across all levels of government in Canada, we are charging ahead with unrealistic climate policies that don’t line up with economic reality or practical science. And if we don’t course-correct soon, we’ll keep driving investment and opportunity out of this country.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) plans on photographing every single person who leaves the US by car, an agency spokesperson told Wired. The agency says it will start using facial recognition technology at official border crossings to match all outbound travelers’ faces to their passports, visas, or other travel documents, though there’s no public timeline for when this will happen.
Mark Carney has returned from Washington and is taking a bow from the highly supportive Canadian political media for a very cordial meeting with U.S. President Trump. He set out to replicate his mighty but unsuccessful effort as governor of the Bank of England to terrorize the British public over the prospect of the United Kingdom departing the European Union, which Britain had never voted to enter, and squeaked into the minority reelection of an otherwise failed Liberal government of Canada as the man who could stand up to Donald Trump. President Trump heaped compliments on his visitor and with some justification took credit for Carney’s election victory, said that he (Trump) was the best thing that ever happened to him (Carney) and slapped him jovially on the knee. Readers will recall that I said at every stage that the hysteria about Trump was a nothingburger and that no more would be heard about Carney’s theory that “Trump is trying to break us” and that “This country’s intimacy with the United States is over, a tragedy but the reality.” When asked about this last week President Trump said “He was running for public office,” a gracious explanation of the ludicrous canard that Trump is any kind of a threat to Canada.
European leaders have urged Russia to agree to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine starting on Monday.
The call was issued at a meeting of the “coalition of the willing” in Kyiv. The leaders of France, Germany, the UK and Poland were hosted by Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, while others joined remotely.
They made the announcement after discussing the plan by phone with US President Donald Trump – who initially mooted an unconditional ceasefire. The leaders threatened Russia with “massive” sanctions if it does not comply.
The dust has begun to settle after the Conservatives lost a fourth consecutive election and there’s been no notable effort to stir things up again, with no widespread or open criticism of leader Pierre Poilievre emerging so far.
This has not been a typical scenario for the Conservative Party in recent years, with previous leaders being ousted by a vote or intense campaign of criticism following an election loss.
A Muslim housing development in Texas is under investigation by the Justice Department amid concerns it would “violate the constitutional rights of Jewish and Christian Americans”.
The proposed development, put forward by the East Plano Islamic Centre (Epic), is touted as a “thriving ecosystem” that “paves the way for prosperity” and would be centred around a mosque and a private Islamic school.
Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, accused the planner of creating an exclusively Muslim community that would impose Islamic law on residents.

In his first days as an elected Prime Minister, Mark Carney faces threats both from without and within.
The threat from without poses the most imminent danger. This country is under assault from its greatest friend. Its economic health and its very existence are at stake.
Axel Rudakubana, the man jailed for the murder of three young girls in Southport, has attacked a prison guard inside the high-security prison where he is being held.
The 18-year-old is said to have thrown boiling water over a prison officer on Thursday afternoon, requiring the officer to go to hospital.
Police and the prison service are investigating the incident, including how he was able to access the scalding water.
After a judicial recount, the Quebec riding of Terrebonne has flipped to the Liberals, who have beaten the Bloc Québécois by one vote. The result means the Liberals have 170 seats in the House of Commons — just two shy of a majority government.
On Wednesday, Chief Electoral Officer of Canada Stéphane Perrault announced the judicial recount after results showed incumbent Bloc Québécois MP Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné beat Liberal challenger Tatiana Auguste by 44 votes.
Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly privately praised the United States for taking “a hard stand on drugs” shortly after former President Donald Trump threatened 25% tariffs on Canadian exports over fentanyl and border concerns, internal government notes show.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the scripted remarks, prepared for a closed-door meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate on December 27, were released through Access To Information.
When a school program tells students not to tell their religious parents about an activity, there is a problem. That is what reportedly happened in Chicago Public Schools when it allegedly forced students to practice Hindu-based Transcendental Meditation (TM) twice a day.
This week the Chicago Board of Education and the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace settled a class action lawsuit, agreeing to pay out $2.6 million to former Chicago Public Schools high school students who say they were forced to participate in TM for 15-20 minutes in the morning and again in the afternoon.
