CSIS officials say China is more of a concern in Canada’s Arctic than Russia

Lynd’s warning comes just a month after Prime Minister Mark Carney signed a new ‘strategic partnership’ with China

OTTAWA — While Russia remains a military threat in the Arctic, Canada’s security officials told a House of Commons committee this week that they remain primarily focused on China’s threats to economic security in the North.

“Russia has a tremendous interest and focus in the Arctic,” Paul Lynd, assistant director at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), told the foreign affairs committee on Thursday. “However, they are of less concern than, say, the activities of China and other hostile state actors at this time.”

Ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe launches new party

A former Reform UK MP, who is now serving as an independent, has launched a new political party.

Rupert Lowe, who represents Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, launched Restore Britain, which he said would be a “national political party”, on Friday night.

He initially set up Restore Britain as a “political movement” after he was suspended from Reform UK last March.

It is now expected to act as an umbrella political party, with locally based political parties as partners.

I hope it takes off. Farage is a fraud, soft to the point of surrender on Islam.

Trump Trade Adviser Peter Navarro Says USMCA Has ‘Significant Flaws’

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro says there are “significant issues” with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), but he stopped short of suggesting U.S. President Donald Trump wants to scrap the deal.

“I can tell you this, that USMCA has some significant flaws in it, and it’s going to be reevaluated in July,” Navarro said during a Feb. 12 interview with Bloomberg Radio.

Navarro was asked about media reports citing anonymous sources that said Trump had inquired of his aides about fully withdrawing from the USMCA, the trade deal he negotiated during his first term to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Navarro did not answer the question directly, but replied that “nothing ever happens” in the White House without the input of Trump, particularly when it comes to trade.

Qatar’s School Textbooks Promote Antisemitism and Hatred of Non-Muslims

An investigation has uncovered Qatari textbooks for the 2025-2026 school year that demonize Jews, delegitimize Israel, glorify jihad, portray Christians as idolaters, condemn Christianity and Judaism as corrupt religions, and promote Islamic supremacism.

In February 2026, the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se) published a report that refutes the notion that Qatar is religiously tolerant, an image former Fox News host Tucker Carlson promotes.

Wow! Carney and Tucker Carlson reading from the same playbook!

Tumbler Ridge transgender shooter ‘tried to kill his family before’

The teenager who murdered his mother and step-brother in a mass shooting in a Canadian town had tried to kill his family before, a neighbour revealed.

On Tuesday, Jesse Van Rootselaar opened fire at his home in Tumbler Ridge and then at a local school before turning the gun on himself.

Investigators have not yet established a motive for the attack that killed eight people, one of Canada’s deadliest gun incidents. A police spokesman told The Telegraph that they “might never be able to”.

America warned Europe it needed to defend itself. Only half of the Continent listened

Donald Trump had only just regained the White House when his acolytes dealt Europe two verbal sucker punches in the solar plexus.

Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, declared that “stark strategic realities” meant that America would no longer be “primarily focused on the security of Europe”. Then JD Vance, the vice-president, marked St Valentine’s Day 2025 by telling the Munich Security Conference that Europe’s greatest peril came not from Russia, but “from within”, and that there was “nothing more urgent” than curbing mass immigration.

In the 12 months since those speeches, European governments have been forced to confront the stark reality that they must shoulder prime responsibility for defending the Continent, with all the extra costs and risks that implies, because America can no longer be relied upon to give reflexive support to Nato.

Amazon’s Ring axes deal with police tech provider after heated Super Bowl ad backlash: ‘surveillance state’

Amazon’s Ring says it is canceling its video doorbell partnership with police tech provider Flock Safety — following severe backlash over a Super Bowl ad that depicted a “surveillance state,” in the eyes of some critics.

The commercial touted the ability of Ring doorbells to reunite families with their lost dogs using a feature called “Search Party.” Owners can upload images of their lost pets to the app, which will launch the feature and use AI to scan neighborhood Ring cameras for matching images.

No one thought this through? No one said “wait a minute”?

WARMINGTON: Will massive Toronto rally for abused Iranians be heard by Ayatollah or Trump?

Ayatollah Khamenei may not know there could be up to 300,000 people on Toronto streets Saturday hoping for the end of his tyrannical extremist Islamist dictatorship.

And U.S. President Donald J. Trump, who has posted to social media that “help is on way,” may also be unaware.

I wish them well but they won’t be heard by anyone least of all by Carney and his Islamist caucus.  Given the number of Mullah regime members found to be resident in Canada I suspect the LPC is working on ratline to secure a safe haven for them.
