Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has alleged Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents have infiltrated Wealth One Bank of Canada and coerced shareholders.
The news comes just two months after a special committee confirmed there are 11 spies on Parliament Hill who have worked for or cooperated with CCP operatives.
The Liberal Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the CCP.
Canada’s embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has lost his key left-wing coalition partner as he continues to maintain his minority government in the nation’s parliament.
Trudeau’s political future now suffers an unexpected blow that may prove fatal. As a layer of political security is stripped away, his government becomes increasingly fragile.
New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jagmeet Singh surprised Canadians on Sept. 4 by announcing on X that his party would withdraw from the governing coalition with Trudeau’s Liberals.
A brief note in reaction to the important — but long predicted, by Andy McCarthy among others — news out of Manhattan: Judge Juan Merchan has moved the sentencing of Donald Trump in his state-level conviction, previously scheduled for September 18, to November 26, after the election (“if necessary” — Trump’s legal team has filed a motion to set aside the verdict altogether that the court must first rule on the week before this hearing). Trump’s fans can take solace, and even people who loathe the man should take the philosophical view and thank God that we avoided having a ten-ton political depth charge explode directly underneath America’s political hull again this election cycle. (To the Democrats, I can say only this: If you thought sentencing Trump to prison on charges most people believe to be entirely political would help you, you are wrong, and you misunderstand the suburbanite voters you thought it would shake off the fence. You did not want that to happen with a month and a half to go until Election Day, believe me.)
WASHINGTON—In January 2023, a representative claiming to work with a European finance professional named Eduard Grigoriann shared instructions with a popular U.S. conservative media influencer to start a new YouTube channel.
“Find a personality that could serve as the face of the channel,” Grigoriann’s representative said. “For the right candidate we’re willing to pay around $1-2 million per year.”
The representative was a fictitious persona, as was Grigoriann, U.S. prosecutors said this week. They were fake identities being secretly operated by two Russian nationals seeking to advance Moscow’s desires to interfere in the 2024 presidential election.
The culture war against the past is depriving us of a future.
In my new book, The War Against the Past: Why the West Must Fight For Its History, I argue that unless we retrieve our historical memory, we are doomed to a state of cultural paralysis.
This act of retrieval won’t be easy. Our historical memory is under sustained assault by a significant swathe of our cultural elites. While many involved in this culture war appear to be focussed on controlling the way we speak and think in the here and now, their main mission is to render toxic the legacy of Western civilisation. This ceaseless attack on our history threatens to distort society’s memory of the past and create a state of historical amnesia.
How is it that our country turned into some kind of theme park spook ride, a cheesy-looking haunted house of programmed frights, howling holograms, phantoms with their hair on fire, doors slamming open on glimpses of hell, ill-winds and foul odors, climaxing in a tableau vivant of death-in-life neverending?
I’m sure that this will surprise you, but you can choose to be sane. How? You take care of your business conscientiously; you steer in the direction of what is true and away from what is false; you find purpose in your existence by discovering your talents and using them in ways that do not bring harm to other people; you seek the company of kindred spirits. . . love the one you’re with. . . work hard so you can rest easy. . . express your gratitude for being here. That’s a start.
In recent days, various Israeli former captives of the Muslim Brotherhood (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip have gone public in the Israeli media with their ordeal, and their reportage is uniform. Every one of their different captors comes across as a psychopathic bully. Being kidnapped and becoming a hostage to Muslims means more than just loss of freedom; it means constant, 24-7 abuse, punishment physical and psychological, in particular, endless humiliation.
Last week the BBC reported that the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres claimed the surging seas are coming for us all. This is a crazy human-caused situation, he fibbed, and we must listen to the “science”, the Guardian helpfully noted.
The Walz are closing in.
After Minnesota Governor Tim Schmaltz’s older brother Jeff announced on Facebook last week that he’s voting for Trump in November – another devastating family dirty bomb exploded on social media on Wednesday:
A picture of eight members of Tim Walz’s extended family mugging it up in matching ‘Nebraska Walz’s (sic) for Trump’ t-shirts.
That got attack-dog tongues wagging.
If Timmy’s corn-fed flesh and blood are voting against him, they asked, shouldn’t we all?
Brampton, Ontario, situated in the sprawling outer suburbs of the Greater Toronto Area, is in many ways your typical Canadian city: rows and rows of middle-class houses with verdant lawns line quiet streets, with strip-mall parking lots and big-box stores in between. That it has been for years a majority non-white city, with South Asians accounting for over half the population, speaks to the success of Canada’s classical immigration regime. For even as Brampton grew more ethnically diverse, its orderly if monotonous suburban social template remained the same, attesting to the motto of late Ontario Tory premier and Brampton legend Bill Davis: bland works.
It’s a tale of two realities in the city, with people standing in two separate lines.
In one, people hope to catch a glimpse of a star. In another, people wait for food.
As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hung out with members of The Tragically Hip and Hollywood stars on Friday, not far away were lineups at food banks.

Jagmeet Singh had a valid response when he was asked at a press conference in Toronto on Thursday whether the confidence-and-supply agreement he signed with Justin Trudeau’s Liberals had been worth it.
The NDP leader said that when he thinks about the deal he remembers two people: Brianna, a mother of five kids who was able to take them to the dentist for the first time; and, Sue, a cancer survivor who had lost her teeth in treatment and burst into tears when the dentist told her he was going to give her back her smile.
Questions are being raised about the case of a 36-year-old Ontario woman who died of liver failure after she was rejected for a life-saving liver transplant after a medical review highlighted her prior alcohol use.
Amanda Huska died Aug. 15 after spending six months in an Oakville, Ont. hospital. She had been referred for an urgent liver transplant to the University Health Network Transplant unit in March. However, documents show the Alcohol Liver Disease (ALD) team at UHN rejected her in part because of “minimal abstinence outside of hospital.”
The woman’s partner qualified but was denied the opportunity to act as her donor. I see the logic behind the denial, harsh as it is.
Anyone watching the Democrats cheer on Kamala Harris as she accepted their nomination for U.S. president could have been forgiven for thinking they’d mistakenly stumbled into a nest of Republicans.
The orgy of flag-waving and chants of “U.S.A., U.S.A!” seemed more appropriate for the party usually associated with unapologetic American nationalism. As was Harris’s pledge to make sure the United States “always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world.”
The Deep State will keep Kamala drunk and amused while they govern.
Protestors from @Uoft marched from campus and blocked a public street for prayer. A man spoke on a microphone about Jihad against "the tyrants" & prayed in Arabic for the "mujahedeen." This is a reference to Hamas & Islamic Jihad, designated terrorist groups in Canada. pic.twitter.com/N76d8xpFRn
