Latest alleged Iranian regime official found in Canada wants his identity hidden

A suspected high-ranking Iranian official caught living in Canada appeared at his deportation hearing on Thursday as the regime he is accused of serving faced growing condemnation for killing protesters.

Before arriving in Canada, the Iranian citizen was a senior member of his government, according to the Canada Border Services Agency, which has asked the Immigration and Refugee Board to order his expulsion.

Who is approving entry for regime criminals? The LPC? We are a Banana Republic.

Why are foreign investors so reluctant to invest in Canada?

With no small degree of bravado, Mark Carney says his government will bring about investment in Canada amounting to $1 trillion in coming years.

Some of that money will come from Canadian governments, but Carney hopes most of it will be forthcoming from private sector investors at home and abroad.

It’s not readily apparent that those hopes are realistic.

In the past decade, Canada has developed a reputation with many potential offshore investors of being “uninvestable.”

‘Willing to slaughter’: Muslim gets 16-year terrorism sentence for joining ISIS

Jamal Borhot – Muslim Terrorist

A Calgary man who joined the Islamic State group in the Middle East was sentenced Wednesday to 16 years in prison.

“Terrorism has been described as the most vile form of criminal conduct,” Court of King’s Bench Justice Corina Dario said as she sentenced Jamal Borhot.

“The sentence must also send a clear and unmistakable message that terrorism is reprehensible and those who conduct it will pay a heavy, substantial price.”

South Korea’s LG Energy Solution on Friday said it plans to buy the 49-per-cent stake held by Stellantis in their battery joint venture in Ontario for the nominal amount of US$100.

Stellantis also said on Friday it would book charges of around €22.2-billion ($35.81-billion) in the second half of last year as the Franco-Italian automaker scales down electric-vehicle development plans and launches a “strategic shift.”

Berlin hospitals threatened by spate of attacks

The Berlin Hospital Association (BKG) has issued a warning describing a spate of seemingly “inexplicable incidents” at hospitals and health care facilities in the capital. These range from drone incursions over hospital grounds and cyberattacks to forced entry and arson.

The BKG said Germany’s security and intelligence services have classified at least some of these attacks as potential acts of hybrid warfare. The protection of health care facilities is “no longer a purely internal matter for hospitals, but a task that must be addressed together with the security services,” according to the BKG.

For security reasons, the BKG told DW that it could not disclose exactly where the incidents it refers to in the statement took place. The “growing hybrid threat” had prompted the BKG to raise awareness among Berlin hospitals to establish effective self-protection, it said.

U.S. would ‘absolutely not’ drop all tariffs if Canada did same: Bessent

The Trump administration would “absolutely not” eliminate all of its tariffs on Canada if Ottawa did the same for American goods, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday, citing Canada’s recent trade agreement with China and the threat of Chinese electric vehicles.

During testimony in front of the U.S. Senate banking committee, Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana asked Bessent to explain the rationale behind the administration’s tariff strategy.

Kennedy said his understanding is that the “foremost reason” for the tariffs is trying to “stop other countries from taking advantage of us” through their own trade barriers.

Some interesting history here …

U.S. Dealers In Full Panic Mode After Canada Green-Lights Chinese Cars

If you feel like Chinese cars are suddenly right around the corner, you’re not alone. The notion has received a groundswell of both direct and indirect support lately, and as affordable new cars drop like flies from U.S. lineups, American consumers are becoming more open-minded about the prospect of allowing Chinese OEMs to enter the market.

Given the political climate, it’s no wonder that dealers feel caught a bit off-guard by this development. And now they’re getting vocal about it.

Fiscal watchdog warns defence targets will mean soaring deficits

OTTAWA — Canada’s fiscal watchdog projects that the Carney government’s commitment to increase defence spending to at least 5 per cent of the economy will increase the federal deficit by $63 billion a year over the next decade, almost twice what the deficit is currently expected to average over the next few years.

In a new report published Thursday, Jason Jacques, the interim Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO), said the fiscal effect of meeting Ottawa’s commitment to hit the new NATO target of 5 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) will ramp up gradually over the next decade and will eventually hike the federal debt-to-GDP ratio by 6.3 percentage points in 2035.

WTF?

The Original Ad is below and it has not been well received. Frankly it comes across like those UK and German ads that inexplicably blame White males & not migrants for Europe’s tsunami of sexual assaults.
