Axis of Evil: Chinese Tech Powering Iranian Drones in Russia-Ukraine War

The Iranian-made drones Russia is using to kill Ukrainians are being powered by Chinese technology, showing that the Communist regime is playing a larger role in the conflict than previously known, according to a watchdog group.

Chinese Communist technology is “enabling Iran to manufacture and supply drones to Russian forces,” according to the Institute for Science and International Security, a think tank that closely monitors Iran’s military infrastructure. “It appears that Chinese companies are supplying Iran with copies of Western commodities to produce UAV combat drones.” Components used to power these drones also appear to originate from companies based in the United States and Europe.

Indictment of 7 Chinese Nationals for ‘Forced Repatriation’ of US Resident to China Indicates Similar Operations in Canada

A federal court in New York has charged seven Chinese nationals for harassing and coercing a U.S. resident to return to China as part of Beijing’s international extralegal repatriation campaign known as Operation Fox Hunt.

The indictment, recently unsealed by a Brooklyn, N.Y. court, shows that similar operations were carried out on Canadian soil.

I’m beginning to suspect that our armed forces recruiting failure is due to Canada no longer being viewed as a nation, let alone one worth defending. Thanks Liberals.

Trudeau seeks to flood country with new goal of 500K immigrants per year … for your own good of course

The federal government is planning a massive increase in the number of immigrants entering Canada, with a goal of seeing 500,000 people arrive each year by 2025.

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser revealed the new targets Tuesday, saying the move is necessary to ensure Canada’s economic prosperity.

Canadian industries are facing a significant labour shortage, with about one million job vacancies across the country.

Who benefits?

Corporate Canada gets the depressed wages it wants.

Bank of Canada gets to fight inflation on the backs of the working class.

The rich will get richer off the contrived shortages citizens will face in everything from food to shelter.

Trudeau gets to play divide and conquer and hope a few votes come his way.

Be clear about this. Your country is being sold to corporate interests by the Trudeau government.

John Ivison: Chrystia Freeland’s fiscal update peers into the Truss trap

Chrystia Freeland will unveil her fall fiscal update this week and the focus will be on whether she has thrown out the Liberals’ free-spending playbook.

Two years ago, the new finance minister defended lavish program expenditure as a “fabulous opportunity to rebuild the country along more equitable, greener lines.”

‘Freedom Convoy’ came together organically, organizer testifies

 

“Freedom Convoy” organizer Chris Barber says the initial purpose of the protest was to get the federal government to listen to truck drivers’ concerns about cross-border COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Barber, 47, is the first of several organizers who will take the witness stand at the public inquiry investigating the federal government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act.

Barber runs his own trucking company in Swift Current, Sask., and was greeted with a smattering of applause from spectators in the room.

Why Lifelong Democrats in Oregon Say They’re Ready to Vote Red

‘Look outside. You see the homelessness, people dying in the streets from overdoses, people having psychotic breaks. It’s in shambles. It wasn’t always like this.’

PORTLAND, ORE.—Christine Drazan—a pro-life, pro-gun rights Republican best known for fighting a state climate-change bill—is in a dead heat to become the next governor of Oregon.

I repeat: Oregon.

Oregon, where Democrats have controlled the governor’s mansion for four decades, and the state legislature for 15 years. Oregon, where medical marijuana has been legal since 1998 (trailing only California) and assisted dying is a birthright and hippies have long been a major constituency. (In 2013, the real-estate blog Estately ranked Eugene the No. 1 city in America for hippies.)

If you want to know why super-progressive Oregon is thinking about voting red, consider one small community of people living in houses floating on the Columbia River.

The climate hypocrisy of rich countries

… But every rich country today became wealthy thanks to the exploitation of fossil fuels. What’s more, the elite prescription for the world’s poor – green energy – is incapable of transforming lives.

That’s because sun and wind power are useless when it is nighttime, or there is no wind. Off-grid solar power can provide light, but typically can’t even power a family’s fridge or oven, let alone provide the power that communities need to run everything from farms to factories, the ultimate engines of growth.

Sikh independence referendum in Canada unfolds amid angry clashes, India’s condemnation

… The referendum — unofficial and binding on no one — has stirred up passions that are fuelling a spate of anti-Hindu hate incidents here in Canada, charges Manish, India’s acting high commissioner, who goes by just one name.

Attention has focused on the recent defacing of a Hindu temple in Toronto and a nearby statue of Mahatma Gandhi with pro-independence graffiti.

“They’re using Canadian territory for activities which could jeopardize India’s security and interests,” Manish said in an interview. “If the (Canadian) government can do something about (the referendum) and try to prevent it, that would be useful because it only creates a bad atmosphere and incites violence against India and Indians.”

Nothing says Multiculturalism like imported ethnic conflicts and race wars!

Where is Pierre Poilievre as the facts come out about the ‘Freedom Convoy’?

One story about the convoy protest is not aging well in 13 days of public hearings into events that rattled through Canada last winter.

This is the story — still embraced by some Conservative MPs and strident fans of the demonstrators— that the so called “Freedom Convoy” was merely a giant party that would have ended if the participants got a fair hearing from Justin Trudeau’s government.

Police and politicians had many fierce disputes about the convoy, we’ve learned in often-fascinating detail over the past three weeks, but one thing they appear to have all agreed upon is that it was a public-security threat of major proportions.

Don’t call us terrorists demand terrorists

Activists, advocates criticize CSIS for weighing if rail blockades could be classed as terrorism

Activists and advocates who’ve been targeted for government snooping in the past are denouncing what they see as the Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s “vilification” of First Nations activism.

They say they know the state is watching, but it still came as a surprise to learn CSIS secretly weighed whether rail blockades could qualify as “acts of terrorism” in reports beginning in November 2020.

“It is an absolutely ridiculous sentiment to me that in 2022 when Indigenous people make a stand for their lands and their water, we get called terrorists,” said Skyler Williams, a prominent Mohawk activist from Six Nations of the Grand River in Ontario.

Coastal GasLink attack, church burnings, rail line blockades are terrorist acts. Own it.

Does Biden’s ‘Lost Temper’ During Zelensky Call Mean More or Less Pain for Ukraine?

The least surprising aspect of a new report claiming that President Biden lost his cool during a phone call with the Ukrainian president, Volodymr Zelensky, is how quickly Russian media seized on it. More perplexing is the little-known dynamic between the two leaders, and what the minor meltdown portends for Ukraine as the war there drags on.

NBC first reported that it was during a call in June that Mr. Biden “lost his temper.” Citing sources familiar with the call, the network reported that Mr. Biden had “barely finished telling Zelensky he’d just greenlighted another $1 billion in U.S. military assistance for Ukraine when Zelensky started listing all the additional help he needed and wasn’t getting.”
