Most Europeans see Trump’s US as more a necessary partner than ally, poll finds

Donald Trump’s return to the White House has led to a “remarkable shift” in Europeans’ view of the US, according to a survey, with even the most America-friendly no longer seeing Washington primarily as an ally.

The polling, of 11 EU member states plus Ukraine, Switzerland and the UK, found most people now regarded the US as merely a “necessary partner” – even in countries such as Poland and Denmark that barely 18 months ago had considered the US an ally.

An average of 50% of Europeans across the member states surveyed viewed the US this way, the study revealed, with an average of only 21% seeing it as an ally, leading the report’s authors to urge a more “realistic, transactional” EU approach.

It’s called paying your own freight rather trying to get a free ride as Canada does in NATO.

Adam Zivo: Leak hints at extent of corruption within B.C.’s safer supply program

A leaked document produced by British Columbia’s Ministry of Health alleges that “significant” quantities of “safer supply” opioids are being diverted to the black market with the assistance of organized gangs and certain unscrupulous health-care providers. This raises serious questions about the competence and honesty of B.C. New Democrats and federal Liberals, who gaslit Canadians for two years by insisting that reports of mass diversion were disinformation.

British Muslim and Jewish leaders sign ‘reconciliation’ accord

I got nothin

A secret summit was held in a 17th-century Scottish castle between Britain’s most senior Jewish and Muslim faith leaders, resulting in the signing of historic “reconciliation” accords that were presented to the King.

The King met the faith leaders in the 1844 Room at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday afternoon. He said of the accords “I’m so glad to hear about this,” and added that it was “the least I can do” to host them. He asked: “Did it take a long time to arrange this?”

Busted Fentanyl Super Lab In Canada Makes “Breaking Bad Look Minor League”: Former Trump Official

Canada’s last-minute decision to cooperate with President Trump on border security and efforts to curb fentanyl trafficking was a key factor behind the president’s 25% tariff threat. While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has pledged to strengthen border security, a former US official who led an anti-fentanyl task force under President Trump’s first term has argued that laws in Canada hinder a proper crackdown on the flow of drugs in the US.

… “Definitely there was ties to Chinese organized crime, possibly Iran as well,” he said, adding, “The facts haven’t been released by your government…I think they know they’re sitting on a big scandal here.”

And there’s the dilemma we face. We know for a fact that the Liberal government lies about everything, big or small, 24/7.

‘Perfect storm of bad news’: Homelessness has soared in Ontario since the last provincial election

The cold winter wind snaps at the outer shell of a sleeping bag on the sidewalk, a tent in a grassy park, a campsite deep in a ravine. It’s a grim scene you’ll find today not only in Toronto’s urban downtown but in far corners of the city, the suburbs down the highway, even increasingly in rural Ontario.

Homelessness, once considered an urban problem, is now a crisis spread across the provincial map — and one that has picked up momentum at a dizzying speed since Ontario’s last election. A landmark report released in January by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario showed that between 2022 and 2024, the province’s known homeless population shot up by 25 per cent to a whopping 81,515 people. That pressure has been obvious in Toronto, where the known homeless population has shot up by more than 1,700 people since early 2022, and hundreds more tents and makeshift camps have arisen.

The Devastating Ecological Carnage Wrought by Wind Turbines

Evidence continues to grow that onshore wind turbines are causing heavy ecological carnage, with increasing concern focused on the removal of a vast tonnage of insect life. For obvious political, Net Zero reasons, insect decimation is not a well-funded research area, but work in Germany in 2016 put the loss across the country at 1,200 tonnes a year. Recently, the Heartland Institute extrapolated the individual annual insect loss worldwide at 13,640,000,000,000 (13.64 quadrillion) insects, and of course it can be noted that the figures are nearly a decade out of date. Other scientific work has reported that flying insects destroyed include bees, flying beetles and butterflies. Curiously, the many institutions apparently concerned with wildlife stay silent on the slaughter. For its part, the UK Natural History Museum (NHM) offers a Build Your Own Wind Turbine kit. Fun for all the family and if the kiddies are lucky they might get to whack a passing fly or a couple of moths.

GOLDSTEIN: Trudeau’s absurd greenhouse gas emission targets impossible to achieve, study finds

One of the absurdities of lame-duck Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s pledge to have Canada achieve “net zero” industrial greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 is that since he won’t be in power then, he can say anything he likes now, regardless of its real-world feasibility.

Feds tried to settle with Trudeau government’s Jew-Hate Consultant Laith Marouf for fraction of funds

Justin and fellow racist Laith Marouf

Federal lawyers attempted to settle for a fraction of the taxpayer money owed by Laith Marouf, an antisemitic activist who had received public funds as a Department of Canadian Heritage consultant, according to an internal memo.

Blacklock’s Reporter says Marouf, a Montréal-based figure known for inflammatory remarks against Jews, left for Beirut after securing $122,661 to lead a national lecture series on tolerance.

Bureaucrats’ Plot To Undermine Trump In 2020 Election Shows More People Need To Be Fired

As more details emerge about the deep state’s coordinated efforts to undermine President Donald Trump during the 2020 election, it’s clear that not only is Trump right to overhaul our bloated bureaucracy, but that more federal employees need to be shown the door.

Trump has offered a buyout to millions of federal employees, ended remote work, and has cut foreign aid to millions around the world in an effort to drain the swamp. By slashing unnecessary slush funds, he’s reducing the bloated federal workforce that’s been leeching off taxpayers.

Trump ally Steve Bannon pleads guilty and avoids jail time in border wall fraud case

NEW YORK (AP) — Steve Bannon pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a fraud charge related to duping donors who gave money to a private effort to build a wall along the U.S. southern border — a case the conservative strategist has decried as a “political persecution.”

Bannon, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty to one scheme to defraud count as part of a plea agreement that spares him from jail time in the “We Build the Wall” scheme. He received a three-year conditional discharge, which requires that he stay out of trouble to avoid additional punishment.
