With Ottawa’s China Pivot, Beijing Expects Canada to Overlook Its Meddling: Former Diplomat

China scholar and former Canadian diplomat Charles Burton says Beijing expects that its strategic partnership with Ottawa means Canada will refrain from disrupting its espionage and foreign interference operations.

The partnership suggests Canada “won’t disrupt China’s operations in Canada, and espionage and influence operations, so that they can continue to expand their influence in Canada for the future when, from their point of view, China becomes the dominant power on the planet,” Burton said.

Carney will do whatever Xi says.

Cartels fear US retaliation as Trump-era pressure reshapes strategy: ‘They fear the United States’

MEXICO CITY: Mexican drug cartels are increasingly calculated in their targeting decisions, often avoiding deliberately attacking American tourists and citizens out of concern it could prompt intensified U.S. retaliation, according to experts.

Following last month’s killing of Ruben “Nemesio” Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” the powerful leader of the Mexican Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt joined “Fox & Friends” and had a warning for the drug gangs: “The Mexican drug cartels know not to lay a finger on a single American, or they will pay severe consequences under this president.”

Amy Hamm: Tumbler Ridge inquiry will require bravery from public officials

British Columbia’s chief coroner announced this week that he will hold an inquest into the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting. Any inquest will be fruitless — and perhaps even counterproductive — if run by persons too afraid to ask politically uncomfortable questions.

I worry this will be the case — because Canada’s institutions are brimming with people who do whatever our loud, “progressive” minority tells them to do.
Regarding Tumbler Ridge, the difficult questions we must ask include what role, if any, gender ideology played in one of Canada’s worst mass shootings.

Trump needs us to win war, says Kurdish militia leader

An Iranian Kurdish militia leader said Donald Trump would not be able to topple Tehran’s regime without their help.

Rebaz Sharifi, a military commander with the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK), an Iranian separatist group based in northern Iraq, said he was confident the US would back them for an eventual ground invasion of Iran.

He also claimed there were 10,000 fighters ready to invade once given the order.

Towing industry at the root of many police corruption cases

When organized crime investigators announced the takedown of an auto-theft ring stealing luxury vehicles from Toronto Pearson Airport 25 years ago, one name stuck out on the list of accused.

For years, Toronto Police Constable Andrew Kostorowski had allegedly been doing illegal computer checks for a tow-truck driver and a body shop owner involved with a criminal syndicate. The group, police said, were selling stolen cars and deliberately damaging others to defraud insurance companies. Constable Kostorowski pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit breach of trust in October, 2002.

In the years since, police officers have faced remarkably similar allegations in cities across Canada and the United States: Baltimore. Boston. Buffalo. Chicago. Detroit. New York. Miami. Ottawa. Toronto again – and then, Toronto again.

MAiD deaths predicted to surge to 100,000 by spring 2026 — How did we get here?

Canada will kill its 100,000th patient through its Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program, come spring 2026.

This estimated figure was popularized by Kelsi Sheren, a Canadian anti-MAiD podcaster, who shared the news in an article and on British rapper Zuby’s podcast.

The figures estimate a 4% increase in MAiD deaths in 2025 (statistics not yet released), with a similar projected estimate for 2026.

As war rages in Iran, woke MoD asks troops: ‘Guys, do you want to wear make-up and nail polish?’

Little Green Army Men. Some In Bright Summer Dresses.

Army chiefs have been criticised for launching a review – just as the Iran war intensifies – into whether male soldiers can wear make-up.

While British personnel in Cyprus called for more protection and HMS Dragon was stuck in port, all serving soldiers were asked on Thursday whether they thought men could apply cosmetics and wear their hair like women.

They were surveyed on woke ‘gender-free’ changes which could see men wearing make-up with long hair or hair extensions, painted nails and earrings.

Trump and the truth about Europe’s ‘betrayal’, Part 2

RATHER like a concerned friend staging an intervention with an alcoholic, the Trump administration has again and again tried to save Europe from itself, to tell a friend drunk on delusions that it is time to sober up. The short-term high of progressive virtue comes with a long-term hangover of economic ruin, international irrelevance, and total societal collapse. Nowhere is this more abundantly evident than in the welcoming of, and indulgent patronage fading into submissive terror towards, third world Muslim populations who refuse to integrate with Western culture and values.

Britain needs a tsar focused on Islamism, not Islamophobia

According to a leaked draft copy of the Government’s new social cohesion strategy titled “Protecting What Matters”, the UK is to have a new “special representative” on matters of “anti-Muslim hostility” – essentially, an Islamophobia tsar. But will it ultimately do more harm than good?

The document states that the new anti-Muslim hate tsar will have the central responsibility of “tackling hostility and hatred directed at Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim”. The so-called special representative in this area will be expected to “engage with communities and stakeholders”, supporting cross-sector action to “strengthen understanding, reporting and response”.
