In the new Venezuela that @JustinTrudeau has built for us here in Canada, thieves cutting off catalytic converters from under cars was just the beginning. Now they are tearing the wheels straight off your car for its winter tires. EV tires at 2K per set are especially vulnerable. pic.twitter.com/5cgVazp5uy

Corrupt cop’s brother attacks Fantino in National Post.
I like and respect retired OPP Inspector Bill Van Allen although I’ve never met him. We do seem to have a difference of opinion about his brother, former OPP Detective Sergeant Jim Van Allen. Since Bill has publicly jumped into the discussion by launching Ad hominem attacks against former OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino and yours truly in the National Post, I’ll pick up gauntlet here and lead Bill through the overwhelming and irrefutable evidence that proves corrupt and illegal acts by his brother Jim.
The Canadian government has listed the Yemeni militant group Ansarallah, commonly known as the Houthis, as a terrorist group in an effort to “fight terrorism globally.”
In a statement released on Monday, Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada said that Ansarallah, a Yemeni militant group, has met the definition of a “terrorist group” under Canada’s Criminal Code.
Ukraine has bought thousands of uncrewed robotic ground vehicles next year to shuttle ammunition and supplies to infantry in the trenches and evacuate wounded soldiers.
The buggy-like vehicles, an example of how technology is transforming trench warfare in Ukraine, would spare troops from operating in areas near the front where Russian shelling and drones are rife, Mykhailo Fedorov, the deputy prime minister for innovation, said.
Mr Fedorov, who has overseen drone procurement for most of the war, told Reuters: “This year we purchased several thousand ground platforms, and next year, I believe, we need tens of thousands.”
After Montana’s attorney general said he received a request from the RCMP to conduct surveillance at several upcoming gun shows in his state, the Mounties would not confirm any plans to attend, but said they’re often involved in cross-border efforts to stem firearms trafficking that are not aimed at lawful gun owners.
Montana’s Attorney General Austin Knudsen said last week the Montana Department of Justice and Division of Criminal Investigations had received a request from the RCMP to conduct surveillance at gun shows in Bozeman and Kalispell—a request he strongly opposes.
Calgary businessman and Dragon’s Den panelist W. Brett Wilson announced he would arrange for private funding for NDP leader Jagmeet Singh if he quit propping up the Trudeau Liberals.
The proposition followed images circulating on social media of Singh getting into a $200,000 vehicle on Parliament Hill. The NDP has backed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since the 2021 election through a Supply and Confidence Agreement.

A court case might finally reveal if the Council of American-Islamic Relations has been the recipient of terrorist funding.
The Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has long been suspected of receiving funding from terrorist groups and terror-supporting countries. Now, a federal magistrate has ruled that it must open its donor files and books on its assets as part of a discovery request in a lawsuit by a former employee.
Surprisingly little news coverage followed America’s first terror attack by an illegal border-crossing immigrant on U.S. soil. On Saturday, 22-year-old Mauritanian Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi was found dead of an apparent hanging suicide in his Cook County, Illinois jail cell. America must learn from this to prevent the next attacks on U.S. soil by border-infiltrating jihadists.
Abdallahi illegally jumped the border from Tijuana to San Diego in March 2023 and was freed by U.S. Border Patrol. Under orders from the Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security, Border Patrol has released millions of illegal entrants into the United States in the last four years.
There are rumors of more officials in trouble, and deeper investigations into the country’s sprawling military industrial complex
In an effort to create a cutting edge force, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has spent billions of dollars expanding and modernizing its armed forces at a pace rarely seen in peace time. But on the evidence of the last few days, the most cutting edge features of its top ranks remain corruption and political intrigue.
Miao Hua, one of China’s top commanders has been suspended and is under investigation for “serious violations of discipline” — CCP-speak for corruption, according to the defense ministry. Miao, a navy admiral, is one of six members of the party’s powerful central military commission, chaired by President Xi Jinping. He was also head of the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) political works department — charged with ensuring CCP control over the PLA. In the military pecking order, he was regarded as more powerful than defense minister Dong Jun. The graft allegations against him will have shaken China’s military leadership.
The FBI went rogue a very long time ago. J. Edgar Hoover was a law unto himself, and everyone in political life was a potential victim. His violations of civil rights were a national disgrace. Throughout his 48 years as director, he broke the law routinely. Like his insufferable successor, James Comey, he believed he answered to “a higher authority” — his own conscience. These are delusions of grandeur. The FBI has degenerated into one of the greatest threats to American liberty. These people think they’re above the law.
Tolkien can teach the English a lot about how to make their country their home again.
One of the most surprising things about reading The Lord of the Rings for the first time is the ending. After spending many hundreds of pages fighting terrifying monsters and vast armies, the protagonists return to their home to find it overrun with a nondescript band of ruffians. The penultimate chapter is spent recounting the struggle to return the Shire to its previous condition, a process that involves rousing the demoralised hobbits to overthrow the rabble who have taken control of their land.
Mass migration has been embraced to plug the gaps in a stuttering, low-wage economy.
Remember when we were told that Brexit would lead to a draw-bridge Britain, closed to migrants forever more? That particular Remainer scare story is now, officially, defunct.
This week, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that 728,000 more people came to live in the UK than had left in the year to June 2024. That’s three to four times the net migration the UK averaged annually during the 2010s. To put that into context, nearly the same number of people arrived in the UK in a single year as live in the entire county of Suffolk.
Jaguar’s controversial new concept electric car has been leaked online – showing the vehicle in Barbie pink.
Images appearing to show the new model have been posted on X by Autocar magazine showing the sleek, low-slung vehicle with a long bonnet and wide grille.
Linda McMahon’s nomination to head the Department of Education was a characteristic move from Donald Trump, host of The Apprentice, who ended every episode with the words “You’re fired!”. McMahon, who co-founded the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) is no stranger to the roped ring, where she dished out slaps and once kicked her husband Vince in the balls. She has little experience in education but whatever one may think of her qualifications, to put her forward was an inspired act of populist political showmanship. It proclaimed Trump’s intention to body-slam the dysfunctional, ideologically captured bureaucracies that have brought American education to its knees.
