Trudeau Tells Liberal MPs to ‘Be Ready For Anything’ Because of Minority Status

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau implicitly told Liberal MPs on Jan. 27 to be ready to campaign in an election due to the minority status of their government, in a speech during the party’s caucus retreat that focused on accomplishments and criticized Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre.

“We need you to keep stepping up in your communities,” Trudeau said.

“You’re all working the ground hard to get yourselves nominated once again, because we’re in a minority Parliament, and we need to be ready for anything.”

Proof Prince Andrew photo is not a fake

The Mail on Sunday today reveals crucial evidence that the infamous picture of Prince Andrew with his alleged teenage sex victim is genuine – demolishing claims by the Duke and his supporters that it could be fake.

The photograph of Andrew with his arm around 17-year-old Virginia Roberts has dogged him since it was first published by The Mail on Sunday 12 years ago and ultimately led to his downfall.

Since then, the 62-year-old Prince has suggested the devastating photograph could have been altered with digital trickery, while his former friend, jailed sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, claimed just last week that it is a fraud.

Confessions of a shoplifter: As food costs soar and self-checkouts multiply, more people are stealing — and they’re not sorry

Tony has been shoplifting most of his food and he feels no guilt.

“I shoplift 80 per cent of my groceries,” the Toronto-based 32-year-old said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Since moving to the city from North York two years ago, his monthly pay of

$2,000 isn’t enough to live on amid rising costs, he said, and he’s struggling to pay the bills.

Shoplifting — theft under $5,000 — is a criminal offence in Canada. But that hasn’t deterred Tony, who feels that stealing from big supermarket chains to survive should not be a crime.

Activist at slavery reparations meeting in California blasts the proposed $223,000 payments – yelling almost a quarter of a million dollars for each black resident is ‘NOT ENOUGH’

Mr. Shakey ‘Shakedown’ Johnson

An activist at a slavery reparations meeting in California blasted the $223,000 payments proposed for black residents in the state – yelling almost a quarter of a million dollars for each person is ‘not enough’.

The eye-popping outburst came from Reverend Tony Pierce who voiced his dissatisfaction after California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Weber opened up the floor to the public.

Nine task force members held the meeting in San Diego and welcomed guests for public comments to discuss California AB 3121, the bill signed by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom looking into reparations for black ctiziens.

Jihadi Jack Lett’s Mommy Is Thrilled Canada Is Such A Stupid Country

Mother of Canadian man detained in Syria ‘thrilled’ with Ottawa’s decision to repatriate him

Mom’s so proud.

The mother of a Canadian man who has spent years detained in northeast Syria on suspicion of having joined the Islamic State says she is thrilled with a judge’s decision to order the federal government to bring her son to Canada, though when the two will be reunited is still uncertain.

Sally Lane moved to Ottawa from Britain three years ago as she campaigned for the release and return of her son, Jack Letts.

13 Migrants from Mexico and Vietnam caught trying to flee Trudeau’s dystopian hell hole for U.S.

American agents arrest 13 from Mexico and Vietnam trying to enter U.S. from New Brunswick

American officials say Border Patrol agents in Maine recently accused 13 foreign nationals – seven adults from Mexico and six from Vietnam – of illegally entering the United States from two locations in western New Brunswick.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency issued a statement Thursday saying human smuggling along the Maine-New Brunswick border may not be as big a problem as elsewhere along the U.S. border, but this “transnational criminal activity” is cause for concern.

Soros-Funded Fake News Operation Pushes Facebook to Reinstate Trump Ban

A progressive billionaire-funded network of Democratic propaganda sites masquerading as legitimate news websites is leading the push to keep former president Donald Trump off Facebook and Twitter.

Courier Newsroom, which bills itself as the “largest left-leaning news network in the country,” organized a petition this week to pressure Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Elon Musk to keep Trump off their platforms. Facebook said Thursday it would reinstate Trump “in the coming weeks.” Twitter reinstated Trump in November, but the former president has not posted on the site. Both sites banned him in January 2021, under pressure from Democratic lawmakers and liberal advocacy groups.

How China and Russia are getting their hands on banned Western tech

The order from David Wetzky was innocuous enough. His company, Strandway LLC, was hoping to buy a piece of technology from a US manufacturer: an oscilloscope scanner typically used to test electronics.

In reality, Wetzky did not really exist. It was a pseudonym used by Boris Livshits, a Russian citizen accused of posing as a legitimate businessman so he could smuggle high tech electronics and semiconductors out of the US.

The devices were shipped in April last year to a quiet town in America’s suburbia, Merrimack in New Hampshire. From there, they were allegedly picked up by Israeli-American Alexey Brayman, who repackaged the technology, tore up the invoices and added fake export documentation before sending them to Europe, US court filings state.

Party’s over at Spotify as celebrity podcast deals fall flat

Coldplay, Kasabian, Kylie Minogue, Slash, Meghan Trainor, Tom Odell. It sounds like a Glastonbury line-up, but it’s actually a list of some of the acts who graced the kitchen of Spotify’s old London office. As the Swedish company grew to become the undisputed king of streaming, it would wheel in some of the biggest names in music to perform for its staff at lunchtime on Argyll Street.

So stunning was one Kasabian gig that some of the 200 or so people watching in the canteen were left in tears, an employee remembers. Another time, Coldplay turned up having just played to 100,000 fans in Sydney two days earlier. Odell enjoyed his canteen set so much, he carried on busking in front of the office.

The climate scaremongers: Greta’s fake ‘arrest’

YOU may have read about Greta Thunberg’s arrest last week at a demonstration in Germany against a new lignite mine which will obliterate a village and a wind farm.

Irritated that by suggestions that the scene involving their golden girl was stage-managed, the BBC rushed out a report by ‘climate disinformation reporter’ Merlyn Thomas: ‘German police have denied being “extras for Greta Thunberg” after false claims that her detainment at a protest in western Germany was staged. “We would never give ourselves to make such recordings,” a spokesperson for local police told the BBC, denying allegations that Ms Thunberg’s detainment was fake.’

How an Oligarch May Have Recruited the F.B.I. Agent Who Investigated Him

The Federal Bureau of Investigation tried to recruit Oleg V. Deripaska, a Russian billionaire, as an informant around 2014, hoping he might shed light on organized crime and, later, possible interference in the presidential election.

A decade later, Mr. Deripaska may have turned the tables on the F.B.I.: Prosecutors say the oligarch recruited one of the bureau’s top spy catchers, just as he entered retirement, to carry out work that they say violated U.S. sanctions.

Shhh! Nobody Talk About World War III

As West’s ruling class leads us closer to the brink of nuclear conflict with Russia, dissent can barely be heard

… Yesterday I wrote about how Hungarian PM Viktor Orban said the West’s sending tanks to Ukraine is another sign that we are in a real war with Russia. To be clear, Orban thinks this is an extremely bad idea! His point is that led by the United States, NATO countries are bumbling into an honest-to-God war with nuclear-armed Russia, over Ukraine.

I can’t get this out of my mind … because it’s true.

Prince Harry and the trouble with therapy

He is living proof that oversharing and introspection can make your problems a whole lot worse.

Following the publication of Prince Harry’s colourful memoir, Spare, we might wonder whether he is the first person in history to kiss-and-tell on himself. The Duke’s well-publicised desire for privacy does not sit easily with his book’s many intimate confessions, some of them tragic, many of them tawdry. Like flies on a sun-kissed wall at one of his Montecito therapy sessions, millions of readers worldwide have now basked in Harry’s detailed revelations. He has long advocated talking positively about mental health. But now his revelations are raising many questions about the success, or otherwise, of psychotherapy.
