Two years to the day of the beginning of the 2022 Freedom Convoy, the Federal Court has declared the Trudeau government’s response to that protest unreasonable and unconstitutional. On Tuesday, Justice Richard Mosley of the Federal Court issued a decision in a group of cases challenging the invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to the convoy. The cases were brought by public interest organizations, including the Canadian Constitution Foundation and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, as well as individual protesters who had been directly impacted by the emergency orders.

Obama’s wife is scratching to maybe be our next president.
Her husband’s helping. Pay attention.

“In 2015, it was him that won the election. He won the government,” he said. “He convinced Canadians that this was the time to switch parties and put in a different government.”
But the MP for Avalon said he wonders now if the Liberal leader is doing his party more harm than good.
“I think Atlantic Canada is much the same as the rest of the country. There’s almost a hatred out there right now for Prime Minister Trudeau,” he said.

Hamas on Sunday released a statement denying its members committed atrocities on Oct. 7.
The denial is a complete reversal for the terrorist group and a total disavowal of its own footage, after it supplied GoPro cameras to its operatives so that they could capture for posterity their horrific deeds on that day.
Seven Ford pickup trucks were stolen by thieves on Sunday night across three locations in central Ontario, marking the latest incident in Canada’s growing trend of vehicle thefts.
The Ford F-150s, most of which were 2023 models, were pilfered from residences in Barrie, Orangeville and Mono, with at least one of the thefts being caught on video surveillance.
Migration has cost Austria a whopping €21.6 billion in ten years, according to a report by the economic research institute EcoAustria. The institute made the calculations based on state revenues and expenditures starting from 2015—the beginning of the European migration crisis—to 2023, and financial projections for 2024-25.
Austria has faced a growing number of migrants entering the country in recent years, with 112,000 people seeking asylum in 2022. Though the number decreased last year—56,000 migrants claimed asylum from January until November—it was still the third-highest number since the beginning of the migration crisis. The issue has had political consequences: the staunchly anti-immigration FPÖ party has been leading polls last year, with almost a third of voters supporting them.
Canada is contributing another $35 million worth of military equipment to Ukraine as the embattled Eastern European country’s allies meet to discuss its future needs, and as Russia’s full invasion edges toward the two-year mark.
Defence Minister Bill Blair, who participated in the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG) meeting via video link, said Canada is providing 10 Multirole Boats from Zodiac Hurricane Technologies, valued at approximately $20 million.
The rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIBs) are a favourite of Canadian Special Forces for commando operations. The Department of National Defence (DND) says they also can be used for search and rescue, troop and cargo transport, surveillance and reconnaissance.
Ukrainian first lady considers Hunka matter ‘resolved’
Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska believes Ukraine and Canada have put the Yaroslav Hunka affair behind them, she said in her first public comments on the matter since her visit to Canada last fall.
In a Canadian exclusive interview, Zelenska said it was unfortunate the vetting process allowed for a standing ovation in the House of Commons for Hunka — a Ukrainian Canadian who fought with a Nazi unit during the Second World War — during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit in September.
Russia says 74 dead, no survivors, in crash of plane carrying Ukrainian PoWs
A military transport plane that Russia said was carrying 74 people, including 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war to be swapped, crashed Wednesday in a border area near Ukraine.
All aboard were killed, according to Belgorod Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov.
It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the crash, which occurred around 11 a.m in Belgorod region. A special military commission was on the way to the crash site, the Russian Defence Ministry said.

This is the 63-year-old Illinois father who shot dead his wife and three daughters during ‘an argument’ at their home in Tinley Park on Sunday.
Maher Kassem has been charged with three counts of murder for killing wife Majeda and daughters Zahia and Halema, 25, and Hanan, 24.
Friends say the family were devout Muslims and Palestinian activists. Zahia, who also went by Zee, had recently visited Mecca.
Their mother Majeda devoted her life to ‘family and religion’, according to a fundraising site dedicated to completing a mosque in Mali in the family’s memory.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on the federal government to provide the resources necessary for a “full investigation” into alleged graves at the sites of former residential schools.
Mr. Poilievre said a proper investigation is warranted after the site of a potential burial ground found nearly three years ago in British Columbia has yet to be excavated to confirm.
Most rescue dogs spend only a few weeks in a rescue centre before they are adopted. But Humbug spent nearly a decade at Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary before finding his “for ever home”, becoming its longest-staying resident — and perhaps the longest of any sanctuary in the country.
The Akita cross was born at Bleakholt in Edenfield, Lancashire, in 2014 and was soon rehomed alongside his siblings. But Humbug was scared of strangers and returned at eight months old.
A federal cap on study permits for international students will create financial risks for postsecondary schools in some parts of the country, which could lead to layoffs and program closings, and affect Canada’s reputation, according to university and college leaders.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced Monday that he’s imposing a two-year cap on international study permits that will cut the number of new permits issued by about 35 per cent this year. The number of international students in Canada grew rapidly in recent years to more than 800,00 in 2023, which Mr. Miller said put pressure on housing and health care.
More than a few universities should go under.
Canada is also a “host” to Iranian threat networks former RCMP expert says
The U.S. Treasury, along with United Kingdom and Australian agencies, has slapped sanctions on Hamas-affiliated currency traders in Gaza with links to Chinese bank accounts and funds from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
In a press statement Monday, the U.S. government explained its financial strike on the terror-financing networks funding Hamas against Israel, and warned that banks in other nations found to be facilitating these networks could be subject to “enforcement action.”
