CIA SUED for working with the Biden campaign to produce ‘Dirty 51’ intel letter calling Hunter’s laptop disinformation

The CIA has been sued for its role in helping to craft a letter from 51 intelligence officials discrediting Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation.

The letter that was signed by 51 intel officials in 2020 immediately before the presidential election falsely claimed that Hunter Biden’s laptop had all the ‘classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.’

A Republican report released in May showed that the CIA was actively involved in getting signatures for the letter which ‘was a political operation to help elect’ Joe Biden in November 2020.

Jack Mintz: Carbon taxes make the Bank of Canada’s job harder

With July inflation ramping up again on Tuesday, it’s obvious the battle ain’t over yet. The headline inflation rate jumped to 3.3 per cent from last month’s 2.8 per cent. While mortgage costs and food are major contributors to our stubborn inflation, energy prices have risen 5.8 per cent in the past four months, thanks in part to the carbon tax hike last April 1.

As the world continues its march to net-zero emissions by 2050, an interesting debate is rearing its head as to whether the energy price inflation will affect monetary policy. That point was made last year by Isabel Schnabel, a member of the European Central Bank’s Executive Board: “As we build a more sustainable economy, we face a new age of energy inflation … that can be expected to lead to a prolonged period of upside pressure on inflation,” she warned

Want to ease Canada’s housing crisis? Let’s start by being responsible about international student visas

Desperate calls by schools to urge local homeowners to rent out their rooms; students paying $650 a month to live three-to-a room in college towns boasting monthly rents upward of $2,000; a viral TikTok video purports to show an international student living under a bridge in Scarborough, Ont.

Housing is a complicated issue. It will take co-ordination, cash, and time to fix. But in the short term, there is at least one glaringly obvious – if surely controversial – way to help ease the challenge of finding affordable rental accommodation: We need to stop issuing so many international student visas.

‘My father and Walt would be turning in their graves’: Son of original Snow White director blasts ‘pathetic’ new version starring Rachel Zegler

The son of the original Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs director has blasted Disney’s ‘pathetic’ live-action ‘radical’ remake of the movie, accusing the company of having no respect for classics.

David Hand, 91, whose father of the same name directed the original 1937 animation, rebuked Walt Disney Studios for pursuing an ‘insulting’ and ‘woke’ remake of the movie that sought to ‘destroy’ its predecessor.

He said the new adaptation would have both his father and Walt Disney himself ‘turning in their graves’ as he slammed the upcoming movie starring Rachel Zegler as the titular character.

Privately, some Liberal MPs say they’re frustrated with Justin Trudeau’s government: ‘Do I want to keep taking the beating I’m taking?’

OTTAWA—Some Liberals say the mood inside their parliamentary caucus has soured in recent weeks over concerns about the government’s performance, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prepares to huddle with his newly overhauled cabinet in Charlottetown.

Members of the government’s front bench will travel to the capital of Prince Edward Island next week for a three-day retreat, where they will strategize and discuss a range of issues linked to rising costs of living — particularly housing — and concerns about public safety and government services, said one senior adviser to the prime minister.

Russia building ‘thousands of Iranian-design drones’ in secret base

Russia is building thousands of Iranian-designed attack drones in a massive secret military base, according to leaked documents.

Engineers at the Alabuga facility in Tatarstan, some 500 miles east of Moscow, are attempting to produce around 6,000 upgraded drones by 2025, The Washington Post reported.

Although production is behind schedule, experts believe it could mean hundreds of “Shahed” drones being directed toward Ukrainian targets at a time, rather than the dozens currently used in attacks.

The Liberals have broken Canada’s immigration system

… the Liberal government has gone to extraordinary lengths to give employers a nearly unlimited supply of low-wage workers, with many of those now arriving via the education visa stream. Those visas used to be entirely about education, but many schools now appear to be partly or even mostly peddling something else, namely the opportunity to reside and work in Canada, usually in a low-wage job.

Canada’s immigration system used to be the envy of the world.

Note my use of the past tense.

To appreciate what was good about Canada’s previous immigration strategy – the one followed until recently through governments Progressive Conservative, Conservative and Liberal – contrast it with the dysfunction of our friends down south.

Guilbeault’s lunatic environmental policy will make sense once you realize who he is in bed with ….

ChiCom Useful Idiot Guilbeault urged to quit Chinese government advisory body chaired by senior member of Politburo

The federal Conservatives are calling on Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault to resign his position on an advisory group to the Chinese government – a body chaired by a former chief of staff to President Xi Jinping – and to end Canadian funding to this organization that instructs Beijing on green development.

The China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development also promotes Beijing’s controversial Belt and Road Initiative, a foreign-investment campaign that has been accused of ensnaring smaller nations in debt and then taking control of their infrastructure for China’s own strategic purposes.
