MACLEOD: The Beijing Blackout — Inside Carney’s secret police pact with China

When Prime Minister Mark Carney stood in Beijing last month to announce a new “Strategic Partnership,” he spoke of stability and pragmatism. But for those of us watching the fine print, one document stands out as a glaring threat to Canadian sovereignty: the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on cooperation between the RCMP and China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS).

Why Islam Seeks Shelter Under The Banner Of The Left

Dearborn Mosque

To his supporters, Donald J. Trump is the 47th president of the United States. For our enemies, he is something far more intolerable: the de facto leader of Western civilization. He is nothing less than the obstacle to a civilizational transformation they have already advanced in London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, and Ottawa.

This enemy has a name: the Red-Green alliance. It is the political covenant between the left and Islam. Its strength is precisely that it is not external. It votes. It holds our passports. It sits in our legislatures and city halls. It shouts down, as in the example of Democrat Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, our president’s State of the Union. This is the enemy within: a left who mobilizes blocs of Islamic voters whose only shared objective is the destruction of the West.

RCMP Was Inside US Suspect’s Chemical Lab in Early 2020 — and Sent Him a Fentanyl Recipe

BRITISH COLUMBIA – In early 2020, almost four years before unilateral US Treasury sanctions named Vancouver businessman Bobby Shah and his company Valerian Labs Inc. as the only Western Hemisphere node of an alleged Chinese fentanyl trafficking syndicate, the RCMP’s chemical diversion unit had already visited Shah’s Port Coquitlam laboratory.

Britain is beginning to feel like a conquered land

SO IT was an ‘important’ Ramadan moment on Wednesday or early Thursday morning. I don’t care about this. My position is that if people want to not eat during daylight hours because a psychopathic 7th century bandit and child rapist thought that was a good idea, or because imams subsequent to Muhammad have done so, it’s their primitive business and not a particular concern of mine.

But I don’t get a choice about whether I engage with this nonsense.

CBSA has removed only one of 30 senior Iranian officials from Canada under federal ban

Canadian border authorities have identified nearly 30 suspected senior Iranian officials who they believe should be barred from remaining in the country under a federal ban, amid a widening conflict in the Middle East that could see more regime officials seek refuge.

The Canada Border Services Agency has been investigating 95 cases involving possible high-ranking members of the Iranian regime, up from 66 last June, according to figures provided by the agency.

The Iran War has exposed the anti-imperialism of fools

One doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry at all the dweebs online saying, ‘I ain’t dying for Israel’. From the phrenologist virgins who follow Nick Fuentes to the cockless ‘communists’ of the post-class left, the cry goes out: ‘We won’t fight for that evil state.’ Guys, calm down. No one’s asking 5”4 fascists to fight for anything. Israel isn’t in need of an army of flabby genderfluids who can’t even read a JK Rowling tweet without needing a self-care day. You’re fine. Stand down.

If it hurts China then maybe it’s all good.

BLACKED OUT: Ottawa censors files on $12.1 million spent searching for alleged Kamloops residential school graves

The federal Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations has redacted nearly all details from internal reports describing how a B.C. First Nation spent millions in taxpayer funding intended to locate alleged graves of children at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.

Blacklock’s Reporter says documents released under the Access to Information Act show the department labelled the reports “confidential,” concealing details about work undertaken by the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation after Ottawa provided $12.1 million to support searches tied to claims that 215 children were buried on the site.

Has Iran executed its ‘impossible to kill’ Quds general for being a spy?

Reports say ‘man with nine lives’ who was always mysteriously absent when Israel carried out assassinations is dead

Speculation has been growing surrounding the fate of IRGC commander Esmail Qaani, with some unconfirmed reports alleging the general was executed by Iran for spying for Israel.

The reports circulating in Arab media that Qaani was arrested and possibly executed on suspicion of espionage have not been confirmed by Tehran.

According to the Emirati outlet The National, the claims remain unverified, but they have spread widely online amid speculation surrounding Qaani’s remarkable ability to survive a string of deadly attacks.

Why is Canada elbows-up to Trump, but arms-out for Xi and Modi?

There was a disquieting air of jubilation from Prime Minister Mark Carney and his cabinet back in January when the government announced it had secured a new “strategic partnership” with Beijing.

Not that it wasn’t good news that Canada and China had broken their decade-long stalemate, that relief was coming to Canada’s canola farmers, and that plans were set in motion to diversify our energy, agri-food and wood product exports. But the celebratory tone and pageantry that came with the new partnership seemed incongruent with the reality of the situation, which was that renewing ties with China was a necessary evil for Canada.

The A.I. Disruption We’ve Been Waiting for Has Arrived

On weekday evenings, heading home on the subway from Union Square in New York City, I log into an A.I. tool from my phone and write a prompt. “Look at the data in the files I just uploaded,” I tap. “Load it into a database, then make it searchable with a web interface.” Underground in the subway tunnels my internet connection drops, but when my train emerges onto the Manhattan Bridge, I get a few minutes to see all the work my coding agent has done, and if I type fast enough I can issue another prompt. By the time I get home to Brooklyn, my little project tends to be done: a website, a feature in a music app, a complex search tool or some tiny game.

This is called “vibe coding,” a term coined a year ago by the artificial intelligence expert Andrej Karpathy. To vibe code is to make software with prompts sent to a specialized chatbot — not coding, but telling — and letting the bot work out the bugs. Like many other programmers, I use a product called Claude Code from Anthropic, although Codex from OpenAI does about as well, and Google Gemini is not far behind. Claude Code earned $1 billion for Anthropic in its first six months. It was always a helpful coding assistant, but in November it suddenly got much better, and ever since I’ve been knocking off side projects that had sat in folders for a decade or longer. It’s fun to see old ideas come to life, so I keep a steady flow. Maybe it adds up to a half-hour a day of my time, and an hour of Claude’s.

A Canadian Lawmaker, and Friend of JD Vance, Channels Charlie Kirk

Jamil Jivani, a Canadian lawmaker who bonded with JD Vance at Yale Law School and delivered a Bible reading at his wedding, arrived at the University of Calgary on a recent winter evening — the latest stop on his tour of Canadian college campuses.

If the tour sounded familiar — Mr. Jivani celebrated masculinity and reached out especially to young men in the age of diversity, equity and inclusion — that’s because it was inspired by the movement started by Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA. A month after Mr. Kirk’s killing in September, Mr. Jivani began his tour to “honor that same commitment to free speech and free debate” represented by the “great Charlie Kirk,” he told Breitbart News, the right-wing site.

With echoes of President Trump’s movement, Mr. Jivani called his own “Restore the North.”

US Mosques Hold Memorials for Iran’s Supreme Leader

Canada has few military tools for Middle East conflict, experts say

OTTAWA—While Prime Minister Mark Carney has said he can’t “categorically” rule out this nation’s military joining the growing conflict in the Middle East, practically speaking Canada’s armed forces don’t have a lot of tools for this particular fight, say experts.

Speaking Thursday in Australia’s capital Canberra, the prime minister said Canada would not be involved in the “offensive actions” the United States and Israel have launched against Iran, but could potentially offer some support to allied countries in the region.
