Canada Summoned Chinese Ambassador Over Reports of Unofficial Police Stations on Canadian Soil
Canada has made official complaints to the Chinese ambassador in regard to reports of unofficial Chinese police service stations operating in Canada, a senior official from the foreign affairs department told MPs.
Weldon Epp, director general for Global Affairs Canada’s Asia Pacific Bureau, testified at the House Canada-China committee on Nov. 29, that his department has formally raised objections to the China ambassador in response to reports of over 50 unofficial Chinese police service stations around the world. The revelations were first reported by Spain-based human rights NGO Safeguard Defenders in a September report aimed at investigating Beijing’s long-arm policing and transnational repression.
“We’ve had several engagements. We’ve called the ambassador in on multiple occasions, and we’ve conveyed our deep concern,” he said.
Germany’s armed forces have ‘two days’ of ammunition
After nine months of war in Ukraine, all Nato countries are short of shells — but thanks to cuts and complacency the situation is particularly acute in Germany
In the basement of an east Berlin hotel, a couple of curious punters eye up a rocket-powered spy plane designed to hurtle through the lower reaches of space at more than five times the speed of sound.
Nearby, a suited man with an expression of childlike absorption pilots a tiny swarm drone with minute precision through the keyboard of a MacBook Air.
A colonel from the Mongolian army, decked out in a sky-blue dress uniform with magnificent golden braids, looks a little lost next to a Lockheed Martin stand bristling with swishy avionics.
I suggest they fall back to the Reichs Chancellery.
Doug Ford accuses Toronto of mismanaging its finances in housing bill dispute
Mayor John Tory and Premier Doug Ford appear headed for a showdown over the financial impacts of Ontario’s new housing bill.
A day after Tory demanded the provincial Progressive Conservative government make an ironclad promise to fully compensate Toronto for any development charge revenue the city loses as a result of the legislation, Ford asserted the bill will have no ill effect on municipalities’ bottom lines, and accused Toronto of mismanaging the revenue it already collects.
Huge waste is a given in all things government.
Ministerial staff shared info about soldiers’ role in self-styled ‘Freedom Convoy’
Emails released through a public inquiry suggest federal Liberal political aides were scrambling earlier this year to figure out the extent to which members of the Canadian Armed Forces were supporting the self-described “Freedom Convoy” protests that had gridlocked downtown Ottawa.
The internal communications are among thousands of documents submitted to the Public Order Emergency Commission, which is looking at the Liberal government’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act to end the demonstrations in February.
‘It’s The First Time I’ve Seen This in China’
On the ground in Shanghai, where young people, born after the Tiananmen Square Massacre, are fed up and fighting back against the CCP.
SHANGHAI — On Saturday night, the center of Shanghai was teeming with young people in bars drinking and watching the World Cup on wide-screen televisions. They were rooting for Argentina, which was facing off against Mexico. (The Chinese love Lionel Messi, Argentina’s star striker.)
Then, something happened.
The message started to spread—mostly on Wechat, China’s No. 1 chat app—that a few people were gathering and lighting candles on Urumqi Road, in the French Concession, which is full of high-end bakeries and eateries and Shanghai’s famous, three-story lane houses.
EU throws gala party for ‘global gateway’ metaverse — and only six people show up
The much vaunted metaverse is a virtual world of immersive experiences and transhuman avatars but, as the European Union has discovered, it can be a real life disaster.
After spending €387,000 (£332,500) on creating a virtual world to promote the EU’s “global gateway” development projects, officials hoped to introduce young people to the website with a special “gala” night of “music and fun” .
“Are you ready to party?” asked the invitation to the event on Tuesday night.
Like I said, it’s the new 3D Movie Glasses of tech.
Whoopi Waxes Idiotic About Gay People Dying Because ‘Religious’ Doctors ‘Won’t See Them’
Whoopi Goldberg, on Wednesday, again went off on Christians — “religious people,” as the co-host of “The View” is fond of sneering — lying to herself and the hopelessly left-wing show’s audience about the awful injustices foisted on the LGBT crowd by evil Christians.
GOP senator calls for Biden’s Transvestite nuclear guru to be terminated following humiliating arrest
The weird drama of Biden administration official Sam Brinton, who was caught on video stealing luggage from an airport baggage carousel, has culminated in a high-ranking senator’s call for his immediate termination.
Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Energy, has officially entered the fray with a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, dated Nov 29.
Information Warfare Can Turn Russians Against Putin
Despite Russian president Vladimir Putin’s 83 percent approval rating, his deceptions about losses in Ukraine and gradual increases in the costs of sanctions make him vulnerable to a Western campaign of information warfare. Putin must now deliver victory or face being removed. Skeptics warn that any perceived foreign interference in Russian society will trigger a defensive nationalism that neutralizes any of the effects of Western-influenced agitation. They will highlight the consistent failure of contemporary psychological warfare units in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, and will point to NATO’s collective indifference toward learning about Islamic political culture as a cause that led to those failures.
Finally, a transgender sex offender has been put in the correct prison.
Male criminals belong in men’s prisons
That monster, which we are told only exists in the minds of bigots, has once again surfaced in the real world. Yet again, a man who identifies as a transwoman has been convicted of sexually assaulting a child. David Orton, who uses the name Danielle Rose Gemini, is a 25-year-old predator who groomed and impregnated a 14-year-old girl who has been described as ‘vulnerable’. Last week, he was sentenced to nine years and six months in prison.
Justin Trudeau praises China’s anti-COVID lockdown protestors — but not Canada’s truckers
How’s this for hypocrisy?
At a time when celebrities, tech barons, and the White House are laying low about the gargantuan anti-COVID lockdown protests spreading throughout China, Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, is loudly virtue-signalling …
Priest Advocates Porn for Overstressed Clergy
Priests like Fr. Backhaus are no longer rare exceptions in the Church.
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse in the Catholic Church, Father Hermann Backhaus, a priest of the Diocese of Münster, Germany, proves you wrong. In a recent interview, Backhaus said that consuming pornography “can have a relieving effect” on celibate clergy.
China fights lockdown protests by targeting smartphones
Authorities in cities across China are using sophisticated surveillance methods to dampen anti-lockdown demonstrations, according to lawyers and protesters.
Several sources told DW that police in large cities like Shanghai have been randomly checking people’s phones on the street or on subways. Police have demanded people provide personal information and immediately remove apps like Telegram, Twitter or Instagram.
Others have said they were called by police and had their phones searched by authorities.
“Police warned me not to use Telegram and asked me to stop sharing information about the pandemic through the software,” said one protester with the surname Lin, who declined to be identified by his full name due to security concerns.
John Ivison: For the sake of national unity, Liberals should drop hunting rifle ban
OTTAWA — Canada’s firearm classification system would baffle students of Byzantium, but even the uninitiated can figure out the fundamental unfairness in the government’s proposed amendments to its gun control law.
