Canada’s emergence as a haven for terrorists

When asked if Canada is becoming a safe haven for terrorists, David Harris, former Chief of Strategic Planning of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) stated, “I think there is a dire risk of this happening. We are already playing a significant role in international terror funding. We have 50 terrorist organizations of a variety of descriptions and a good number of them are the so-called world class ones.” While addressing a Special Committee of the Senate, former director of CSIS Ward Elcock stated, “I’ll be as blunt as I can be, we cannot become, through inaction or otherwise, what might be called an official state sponsor of terrorism.”

Jamie Sarkonak: Your rising Spotify bill is paying for the Liberals’ diversity agenda

The Online Streaming Act, rushed through Parliament as Bill C-11, isn’t in full force yet. Already, though, it’s begun to claw back a generous cut of streamer revenues — and we’re already worse off for it.

In June, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced that it would be taking a five per cent cut of Canadian revenues from major foreign streaming services, such as Netflix and Youtube, starting in 2024, supposedly to invest in Canadian programming. In dollars, that’s supposed to bring in $200 million per year.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs mixed star-studded bashes with raucous ‘Freak Off’ sex parties after VMAs and Super Bowl, videos reveal

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ “Freak Offs” often coincided with some of his biggest star-studded parties at the height of his fame — with at least three wild sex parties taking place hours after major events, according to a trove of video files and documents viewed exclusively by The Post.

The clips suggest that the orgies, which federal prosecutors say sometimes involved women who were threatened or coerced to perform grueling hours-long sex acts, were happening just below the surface as Diddy rubbed elbows with the biggest names in Hollywood, music and sports.

The rumours are now mainstream, it is only a matter of time before footage is leaked online.

John Ivison: Red flags all over Trudeau’s flawed plan to curb runaway immigration

When circumstances warrant, the prime minister deserves to be praised — if faintly.

He has been roundly criticized —not least by members of his own caucus — for not listening, and for digging in when it is clear that the government needs to retreat.

Yet on Thursday, he unveiled a new immigration plan that cut the number of newcomers by one-fifth in response to criticism from across the country that the flood of arrivals in recent years has been too dramatic for the housing, education and health-care systems to absorb.
