Europe is on the verge of surrendering Ukraine to Putin

Polish prime minister, Matesuz Morawiecki, has declared that his country is “no longer transferring weapons to Ukraine”. Instead, it will be focusing on “arming Poland with more modern weapons”. As explosive as the announcement is, it is unlikely to change the situation in Ukraine in the short term.

What matters more is the language. It is incredibly telling that president Andrzej Duda described Kyiv as behaving “like a drowning person clinging to anything available”, potentially bringing down those attempting to save them. It sounds like an acceptance that Ukraine cannot win this war, at the current scale and intensity, and that Europe cannot continue to supply it.

In Canada, the gender wars are now a national issue

Thousands of Canadians protested against trans ideology this week

Yesterday, Canadians turned out by the thousands in cities and towns across the country for the 1 Million March 4 Children — the most visible pushback to date against what many Canadians see as indoctrination into a radical set of new beliefs about sex and gender being pushed on their children in schools and healthcare settings.
Now, it seems as though Canada’s long and uncomfortable silence on gender is breaking down quickly.

Trudeau Alone Against India After Accusing Asian Giant of Killing Canadian

Canada’s two closest allies, both working to boost ties with India, offered words of support but stopped short of criticizing the Asian giant after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took the extraordinary step of publicly accusing the Indian government of involvement in the killing of a Canadian in B.C.

“We are deeply concerned about the allegations referenced by Prime Minister Trudeau yesterday,” said the U.S. State Department.

Devastating risks of transitioning to ‘green’ energy: Mining for electric-powering minerals has left 23 million people exposed to toxic waste, 500,000km of rivers polluted and 16 million acres of farmland ruined

Tens of millions of people — more than live in the entire state of Florida — are now exposed to toxic water runoff from metal mining, a new study has found.

The report lays bare the devastating impacts that can follow a reckless transition to ‘green’ energy, compounding the ecological damage wrought by over 150 years of drilling and mining for fossil fuels.

The researchers found that 23 million people worldwide, as well as 5.72 million in livestock, over 16 million acres of irrigated farmland and over 297,800 miles worth of rivers have been contaminated by mining’s toxic byproducts seeping into the water.

‘It was a mistake’: Doug Ford says government will reverse Greenbelt land swap decision

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government will be reversing its Greenbelt land swap decision and won’t make changes to the Greenbelt in the future.

The premier said he broke a promise when he decided to open the Greenbelt for housing development.

A person is allowed to change their mind but this whole deal was “Old Boy Sketchy” from the start.

Canada has Indian diplomats’ communications in bombshell murder probe: sources

The Canadian government has amassed both human and signals intelligence in a months-long investigation of a Sikh activist’s death that has inflamed relations with India, sources tell CBC News.

That intelligence includes communications involving Indian officials themselves, including Indian diplomats present in Canada, say Canadian government sources.

The intelligence did not come solely from Canada. Some was provided by an unnamed ally in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance.


“Sources” – I remember when CBC was certain of the Trump Russia Collusion “Sources”

It doesn’t change anything. The Indians offed a terrorist that the Trudeau government at best turned a blind eye to.

What did Junior think was going to happen? 

Did he expect India to send him a thank you note?

Conservatives are taking a cautious approach to India allegation, observers say

Just days after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the astonishing allegation that Canada has “credible intelligence” linking agents of the Indian government to the killing of a Canadian citizen, the scandal has scarcely been mentioned during question period in the House of Commons.

There might be a good reason for that, observers say.

“There’s a lot of landmines here,” said Shakir Chambers, a former Conservative Party staffer and now a principal at Earnscliffe Strategies.

Michael Higgins: Does Trudeau have what it takes to wage diplomatic war with India?

Foreign affairs are a minefield for Justin Trudeau but surely no one expected him to trigger an explosive diplomatic war with India.

This is now a defining moment for the prime minister who must prove himself either a strong and decisive leader or a weak and ineffectual politician. But does Trudeau possess the Churchillian spirit?

Junior is already in enough hot water having grossly overestimated international reaction to his accusation.

The woke mob is ruining Oktoberfest

Cultural appropriation, organic chickens — what is the world coming to?

Cockburn wouldn’t be so skeptical of the radical left nearly as much if they didn’t have an insatiable need to suck the joy out of holidays. First they replaced the Christmas tree with the Kwanzaa bush. Then they told us that tofurkey tastes just as good as the real thing. Now, they are attempting to crush Oktoberfest too.
