How the federal Liberals have opened their leadership race to foreign interference

Justice Marie-Josée Hogue will soon reveal her findings on foreign interference. (Disclosure: I was an invited presenter to the Commission). She has already noted the parties’ defences against penetration do not appear “robust.”

Her recommendations will be wide-ranging. If she recommends that all parties should be subject to supervision in their conduct of nominations and, more importantly, leaderships, the reaction from Liberals, Conservatives and New Democrats will be unanimous: “No!” They are wrong and the justice would be right. Here’s why.

Jihadi terror as religious sacrifice – pathway to a nuclear war with Iran

“The death fear of the ego is lessened by the killing, the sacrifice, of the other; through the death of the other, one buys oneself free from the penalty of dying.” – Otto Rank, Will Therapy and Reality (1936)

Following the collapse of Syria’s Bashar al Assad’s regime, jihadi terror groups are being refashioned in the Middle East. Though there are evident and significant differences between these groups, all share a single overriding objective. This common goal is not geopolitical advantage or national self-determination, but “power over death.” Whatever else differentiates jihadi terror group ideologies and tactics from one another, all Islamist groups seek personal redemption through “sacred violence.”

L.A. Leaders Can’t Hide Behind the Media Anymore

Social media has enabled residents to learn about the gross negligence that contributed to the current devastation.

For days, now, the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles have left behind scenes that can only be described as apocalyptic, like something out of Dante’s Inferno. These haunting, powerful images, once the province of print and broadcast media, now circulate freely on social media platforms like X, Facebook, and Instagram. In past emergencies, if you couldn’t find out something in the newspapers or on TV, you had to seek it out yourself; today, news and images spread across the globe in an instant, thanks to citizens documenting disasters in real time.

Radical Islamic group cancels Ontario conference under pressure of being named a terrorist group

A planned conference by a radical Islamic group that caused outrage and security concern has been cancelled a day after the federal government said it was considering declaring the organization a terrorist group.

Late on Monday, federal minister of Public Safety David McGuinty issued a statement saying Hizb ut-Tahrir’s history of “glorifying violence and promoting antisemitism and extremist ideology” and supporting terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah “are entirely contrary to Canadian values,” and asked them to scrap their conference, scheduled for this coming weekend, while security and intelligence agencies assessed whether the group should be listed as an official terrorist entity.

Qatar’s Al-Jazeera, Bullhorn for the Muslim Brotherhood, Promotes Jihad, Radical Islam, Terrorism. Even Israelis and Palestinians Agree!

The Palestinians have finally discovered that Qatar’s Al-Jazeera television network — which has long been serving as a mouthpiece for the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and virtually all other Islamic terrorist groups — is “broadcasting inciteful content, spreading misinformation, and interfering in internal Palestinian affairs, which [the Palestinian Authority Ministerial Committee] claimed stirred division and instability.”

Canada pauses electric vehicle rebates worth up to $5,000 for buyers

Canada’s federal government says it will pause its zero-emission vehicle incentive program (iZEV), dubbing the up to $5,000 rebate on eligible cars and trucks a “huge success” in the transition to net-zero emissions.

The program offers a $5,000 rebate for battery-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) with an electric range over 49 kilometres. PHEVs with a lower range qualify for a $2,500 rebate. Eligible passenger cars must have a base price less than $55,000, rising to $65,000 for SUVs, minivans and pickups.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid sparks fury with ‘billionaire apartheid’ California fires conspiracy theory

MSNBC’s Joy Reid has been slammed for her rant claiming the ‘billionaire right’ is using the devastating LA fires to create apartheid in California.

The ReidOut star used her opening monologue on Monday night to wildly claim that wealthy conservatives are trying to take over the Golden State.

She claimed that billionaires will use the massive wildfires – which have killed at least 24 people and destroyed more than 12,000 buildings – to push out minorities.

Federal security agencies to monitor Liberal leadership race for foreign interference

Federal security agencies will monitor for foreign interference in the Liberal leadership race, providing some protection after MPs were already raising concerns about potential meddling in the contest.

The Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections (SITE) Task Force will do the monitoring and offer security advice to the Liberal Party and leadership candidates as part of its mandate to safeguard democratic institutions from outside interference, the Privy Council Office announced Monday.

It is the first leadership race under scrutiny by the task force since it was created in 2019; its mandate was at first to monitor only general elections, and then expanded to by-elections.
