Now that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has finally announced she will deliver her fall economic statement on Dec. 16, it raises the question of how much of our money are the Liberals prepared to spend in a desperate bid to win the next federal election?
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the West told Russia NATO would not expand eastward of Berlin. Since then, NATO added 14 countries east of Berlin. No legal agreements for NATO’s eastward expansions were made, but Russia’s concern is more than mere NATO membership. NATO countries are equipped with U.S. military bases pointing missiles at Russia. As of July of 2021, there are roughly 750 U.S. military bases in 80 countries, compared to Russia’s mere 21 overseas military facilities, leaving Russia paranoid about the West.
History shows us what would happen if Russia made an alliance with Canada or Mexico, putting military bases on our border with missiles aimed at the U.S. In January 1917, Germany sent the “Zimmermann Telegram” to Mexico revealing a plan for Germany to form an alliance with our southern neighbor, promising Mexico her lost territories of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. This threat at our doorstep was one of the factors leading the U.S. to declare war against Germany five weeks later.
Also, you have to remember the Cuban Missile Crisis where nuclear war almost occurred over Soviet missiles in Cuba.
Speaking to the Halifax Chamber of Commerce on Monday, Mr. Trudeau said that tariffs at this level would have a “devastating” impact on the Canadian economy, while also damaging the U.S. economy and driving up prices for American consumers.
Documents shared with The New York Times impelled the media outlet to admit that senior staff at UNRWA schools doubled as members of Hamas’ military wing.
“The agency, which employs roughly 13,000 people, including thousands in the schools, has a duty to maintain the neutrality of its facilities in the conflict zones in which it operates, including by keeping militants off its premises and payrolls,” The Times noted.
But as shown by the detailed records kept by the Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, that were seized by Israel, at least 24 people employed by the anti-Israel UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in their schools were members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad.
When asked what Canada should do to ensure stability in the region, Poilievre said Canada shouldn’t intervene, an illuminating comment about what the foreign policy of a potential Conservative government would look like.
“First of all, Assad was a puppet for the tyrants of Tehran (Iran). He has carried out genocides against the Sunni people in his own country, and now he appears to have been toppled,” Poilievre said. “We don’t know who will replace him, but I don’t think we should get involved in that mess. It’s not our fight.”
The Telegraph and others are reporting that X owner Elon Musk is mulling heavily investing in Reform UK, the political party headed by Nigel Farage in order to help him compete with the two establishment parties in Britain.
What’s America’s largest ethnic group?
Normies might consider our roots in the British Empire, observe our majority-White population, heed the language spoken all around them, and conclude that the obvious answer is “the English.”
But those of us nerdy enough to, say, write a data column would be waiting in the wings, itching to parachute in with a “well, actualllllly …” Because while “ethnic group” is hard to define, the most detailed Census Bureau ancestry data consistently shows the most common ancestry in America is actualllllly German!
Two world wars caused a washing of identity.
KYIV, Ukraine — On February 24, 2022, I woke up to a phone call from a friend. “It’s started,” he said.
“What started?” I asked. “The war,” he replied. Only then did I hear the sound of the sirens in Kyiv signaling that yes, Russia had begun an invasion, announcing itself with bombs and shellings.
Every hour of that first day brought fresh news of air strikes—in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mariupol, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Kramatorsk, Odessa. By evening, president Volodymyr Zelensky reported that 137 Ukrainians had died. He also imposed martial law that day.
November 7. Amsterdam. As soon as a soccer match between the Netherlands’ AFC Ajax, a Dutch soccer club, and Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv ends, Maccabi supporters who came from Israel and several European countries to attend the match, are attacked. Many are chased through the streets, beaten, thrown to the ground, punched, kicked, stabbed, and thrown into the icy water of the city’s canals. While the attackers shout anti-Semitic slurs, the victims, in an attempt to escape, shout back that they are not Jewish.
Under the bright lights of a production line, a shiny black Dodge Charger Daytona sits plugged into a charger. Then one worker unplugs the car while another in a neon vest drives it away. The loudest noise it makes is the squeak of rubber tires on the factory floor.
Millions of vehicles have rolled out of the Stellantis assembly plant in Windsor, Ont., during its 96-year history, but this car is different. It’s electric, and it marks the beginning of a new era for these workers, the city, the province, the country, the Canadian auto industry and, if all goes according to plan, our climate goals.
“It feels historic. It really does. You can feel that energy with everybody on my team, and the people we’re working with,” said Audrey Moore, chief engineer responsible for the launch of the new Charger.
Getting to this moment – the first mass-produced electric passenger car made in Canada – is the culmination of years, arguably decades, of work by governments, unions, auto workers, suppliers and car company executives, not to mention tens of billions of dollars in government subsidies for companies all along the EV supply chain.

Former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said President-elect Trump floating jail time for her and other members of the Jan. 6 Committee “is a continuation of his assault on the rule of law.”
“Here is the truth: Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and seize power,” Cheney said in a response statement to Trump, which was provided to Fox Digital. “He mobilized an angry mob and sent them to the United States Capitol, where they attacked police officers, invaded the building and halted the official counting of electoral votes. Trump watched on television as police officers were brutally beaten and the Capitol was assaulted, refusing for hours to tell the mob to leave.”
So she’ll refuse Biden’s pardon?
Lincoln Brown: The churches, on the whole, outside of the Roman Catholic Church, may not be taking it seriously, but as you point out, other people are, especially in Silicon Valley. We would be surprised at who’s taking the occult seriously.
Rod Dreher: Oh yeah, absolutely, and it blends over into the whole UFO culture thing. And this is probably the most surprising thing I found in my investigation for living in wonder. You know, I’ve been a Christian for most of my life, and mysticism has always been part of my Christian walk as a Catholic and then as an Orthodox. But I never took UFOs seriously. I was just about finished with the manuscript of this book when a Catholic journalist I know in the Vatican, who covers the Vatican said, “Look, I know you don’t take it seriously. I know you laugh at this stuff, but you better start paying attention because there’s some really important spiritual things going on in the whole UFO world.”
It begs belief that @DeptofDefense, the most powerful military on the planet, is completely apparently unable to track, detect or shoot down these objects. How can it be that after months of incursions over sensitive military facilities, these overflights are still continuing… https://t.co/lrinSTmF0P

The Syrian rebel forces that successfully toppled the regime of former President Bashar Assad have installed a transitional prime minister.
Mohammed al Bashir, the leader of the terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al Sham’s political wing, will begin fielding a Cabinet to head the incoming government.
Bashir has served as the head of the oppositional Syrian Salvation Government in northern Syria since January, and his appointment indicates HTS is attempting to scale up its established, regional political bureau instead of building a new regime from scratch.
The Nobel-winning author’s husband was a pedophile who targeted her daughter and other children. Why did she stay silent?
“My life has gone rosy, again,” Alice Munro told a friend in a buoyant letter of March 1975. For Munro, who was then emerging as one of her generation’s leading writers, the previous few years were blighted by heartbreak and upheaval: a painful separation from her husband of two decades; a retreat from British Columbia back to her native Ontario; a series of brief but bruising love affairs, in which, it seems, Munro could never quite make out the writing on the wall. “This time it’s real,” she wrote, speaking of a new romantic partner, the emphasis acknowledging that her friend had heard these words before. “He’s 50, free, a good man if I ever saw one, tough and gentle like in the old tire ads, and this is the big thing — grown-up.”
