North Korean diary reveals use of horrific tactic in Ukraine war

The last written notes of a North Korean soldier have revealed how Pyongyang’s troops are being used as “bait” to lure out and shoot down Ukrainian drones.

The diary of the dead man, published by Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces, described the reckless tactic along with expressions of love for Kim Jong-un and a “longing” to return to his homeland.

On one notebook page, a crude drawing shows a stickman soldier breaking cover to attract the attention of a drone, while his two comrades lie in wait to shoot it down.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith visits Mar-a-Lago

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith visited U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort on Saturday evening, the National Post has learned.

Smith’s office declined to confirm whether she actually spoke with Trump.

Trump, who has escalated his rhetoric around Canada, has promised, on day one, to institute 25 per-cent-tariffs on Canadian exports to the United States and has mused repeatedly about annexing Canada by “economic force,” referring to the 49th parallel as “artificial.”

First, they lost their home insurance. Then, L.A. fires consumed their homes

Last year, Francis Bischetti said he learned that the annual cost of the homeowners policy he buys from Farmers Insurance for his Pacific Palisades home was going to soar from $4,500 to $18,000 — an amount he could not possibly afford.

Neither could he get onto California FAIR Plan, which provides fewer benefits, because he said he would have to cut down 10 trees around his roof line to lower the fire risk — something else the 55-year-old personal assistant found too costly to manage.

So he decided he would do what’s called “going bare” — not buying any coverage on his home in the community’s El Medio neighborhood. He figured if he watered his property year round, that might be protection enough given its location south of Sunset Boulevard.

Geoff Russ: Canada can only get better now that Trudeau is leaving

Canadians should cheer up. The country is barreling towards rock bottom, which means before long, things can only start to get better.

Justin Trudeau’s underwhelming notice of resignation has rendered him a lame duck and the head of the government largely in name only. Now, the most unimpressive Liberal cabinet in history will claw, hiss, and scratch at each other for the honour of being prime minister for a couple of weeks or months, depending on how unlucky we get.

Ukraine says it captured two injured North Korean soldiers in Russia

Two wounded North Korean soldiers have been captured as prisoners of war by Ukrainian troops in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday.

The two men are receiving “necessary medical assistance” and are in the custody of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in Kyiv, according to Zelensky.

The president said he was “grateful” to Ukrainian paratroopers and soldiers from the Special Operation Forces for capturing the North Koreans.

Co-leader of Germany’s far-right AfD calls for mass deportations

The co-leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany has called for mass deportations of immigrants as the party launched its programme for next month’s nationwide elections.

In a fiery speech to supporters in the small town of Riesa in Saxony, east Germany, Alice Weidel said that under the AfD — which is second in the polls with a record vote share of around 20 per cent — Germany would witness “repatriations on a large scale”.

Weidel, AfD’s candidate for chancellor in the elections, used the controversial term “remigration” to describe the policy.

There is nothing “controversial’ about the term “remigration” it’s just the bankrupt left’s means of signaling they’re scared shitless. The EU and German establishment live in abject fear of the AfD booting their snouts from the public trough.

Greenland leaders ready to talk with Trump after prez-elect expressed interest to make territory part of America

Greenland’s leader Múte Egede said he is prepared to enter into negotiations with President-elect Trump about the future of the mineral-rich arctic territory — but warned his people had no interest in becoming Americans.

At a press conference Friday in Denmark, which exercises nominal sovereignty over Greenland, Egede said he accepted that Greenland was “a place that the Americans see as part of their world” and that while he has not spoken with Trump, he was open to “discussions about what unites us.”

Conrad Black: Justin Trudeau is the worst Liberal leader in history

Justin Trudeau is only the second elected prime minister in Canadian history after Jean Chrétien, to be ignominiously pushed out as prime minister by his own party, and this departure is more embarrassing because it follows a bungled attempt to lay all the responsibility for a failed economic policy on Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, turf her out and replace her with a complete new comer to elective office. Chrétien was never taken overly seriously by the Canadian public but was a reasonably competent prime minister with a defensible record. Because the (then) Progressive Conservative Party had been fragmented by the defection of the Bloc Québécois and the Reform party, Chrétien routinely held elections prematurely, since he was sure to win them, as a substitute for doing the necessary to raise his standing in the country and in his party. The fragmentation of the opposition made it effectively a one-party state and the grandees of the Liberal party tired of it and gave Chrétien the order of the boot. Finance Minister Paul Martin had an excellent record and took office with dignity in a spirit of confidence. What we have witnessed in the last few weeks has been an amateurish fiasco.

Trendy pizzeria charges £100 for a Hawaiian to discourage customers from divisive topping

It is arguably the most divisive culinary combination.

Topping the traditional Italian favourite with pineapple now comes with a hefty price tag at one trendy pizzeria.

Lupa Pizza, in Norwich, is charging customers £100 for their Hawaiian pizza on the food delivery service, Deliveroo, because they disapprove of the combination so strongly.

Kath liked pineapple. I went along because I knew what was good for me.

After Years of Self-Inflicted Erasure of the Canadian Identity, ‘51st State’ Push Serves as a Wake-Up Call

Whether President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign for Canada to join the United States is a negotiation strategy, a passing fancy, or reflects a genuine belief, it has provoked a defiant and fiery “Never!” from Canadian politicians and public figures across the spectrum.

But the backlash against the idea of becoming the 51st U.S. state exposes a deep contradiction in a country where in recent years there’s been a systematic effort to erase the Canadian identity and founding history.
