Commissioner Lucki Learned From Haiti Mission – Wanted To Go Full Banana Republic & Disguise Soldiers in RCMP Uniforms During Freedom Convoy

Commissioner Lucki Contemplated Dressing Soldiers in RCMP Uniforms During Freedom Convoy: Text Messages

RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki told OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique on Feb. 13 that she was thinking about dressing military personnel in RCMP uniforms to increase police resources, according to text messages filed as evidence at the Public Order Emergency Commission.

“It’s funny you say that, because I was thinking maybe we use CAF [Canadian Armed Forces] but in our uniforms as unarmed Auxiliaries or Spl. Csts. [special constables] to supplement us.. in teams,” Lucki wrote.

‘Flustered’ Doug Ford under fire at Queen’s Park, as documents reveal questions inquiry lawyers want him to answer

Embattled and rattled, Premier Doug Ford is feeling the heat over his refusal to testify at the federal Emergencies Act inquiry — and losing his cool.

Ford said it was “unreal” for Interim Liberal Leader John Fraser to criticize him for going to court to avoid appearing at the hearings probing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s actions to end the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests in Ottawa.

“As the public saw, I was out there non-stop speaking to the people … he was hiding in his basement,” Ford said Thursday after Fraser reminded him former premiers Mike Harris, Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne testified at various inquiries and court cases.

Meet the Canadians who are cultivating an audience with America’s far right

One day after a jury ordered him to pay nearly US$1-billion for falsely claiming the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones appeared on Louder With Crowder, an online broadcast popular with the far right.

The reason “we’ve had him on is because I hate seeing people being bullied,” host Steven Crowder said. He then gently extracted an exculpatory account from the man who once called the elementary-school shooting, which left 26 dead, “as phoney as a $3 bill.”

More Canadians are turning to food banks than ever before, new report says

A record number of people used food banks in Canada this year, with high inflation and low social assistance rates cited as key factors in the rise, according to a new report.

The annual report from Food Banks Canada said there were nearly 1.5 million visits to food banks in March, 15 per cent more than the same month last year and 35 per cent more than in March 2019, prior to the pandemic.

Linda Godin, a 72-year-old living on a fixed income in Edmonton, is among those who have had to turn to food banks given the rising cost of living.

CSIS weighed whether rail blockades supporting Wet’suwet’en could be classed as terrorism

Canada’s civilian spy service assessed whether First Nations land rights activists who disrupt trains should be classed as a “terrorist threat” to national security alongside the likes of Al-Qaeda and ISIS, according to declassified documents.

But the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) eventually decided the label wouldn’t stick after probing the issue in secret, internal studies whose findings were shared with government officials in an unclassified March 2021 counterterror briefing.

Blinken, Joly dodge question of Canada’s possible role in military mission in Haiti

OTTAWA – Efforts to organize a multilateral military intervention in gang-ravaged Haiti are ongoing – but neither Antony Blinken nor Melanie Joly was willing to say publicly Thursday whether Canada would be tapped to lead it.

The U.S. secretary of state and his Canadian foreign-affairs counterpart met in Ottawa on day 1 of Blinken’s two-day visit north of the border, his first in person since becoming the Biden administration’s top diplomat last year.

OPP head says comments that ‘Freedom Convoy’ was national security “threat” akin to saying Monkeys might fly out of his butt, unlikely but possible

OPP head defends comments that ‘Freedom Convoy’ was national security threat

Carrique testified at the public inquiry Thursday, where he clarified that he agrees there were no credible national security threats. He said the word “threat” was used to indicate that something could potentially happen, and that the situation called for further analysis.

“This is talking from a strategic level: What are the risks that need to be taken into consideration when making decisions and developing plans?” he said.

“The word ‘potential’ is almost immaterial. It’s like saying that there’s a threat of rain today. Does it change the situation when you say there’s a potential threat of rain today? I would suggest to you it does not. What is required is further analysis of that threat.”

Not much of a defense.

Community Media Advocacy Centre senior consultant Laith Marouf says the Heritage Ministry “begged” Montreal-based CMAC to take a grant, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

Trevor Noah manfully inflicts violence upon dead horse he just invented.

As Konstantin Kisin points out, this isn’t a thing. I want evidence that anyone in the U.K. has an issue with Sunak being Hindu. People are in despair over the ridiculous state of British politics, that true. There are plenty of problems with the guy, but I haven’t heard Rishi’s Indian descent brought up at all.

Hacks like the tragically unfunny Trevor Noah simply have nothing else to say.

Fentanyl Is a Weapon of Mass Destruction

On September 11, 2001, nineteen terrorists slammed commercial airliners into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. This unprecedented attack against the United States killed 3,000 Americans. The United States responded with a complete reorganization of our nation’s approach to homeland security and counterterrorism.

Since 9/11, enterprises in China and cartels in Mexico have produced and exported thousands of pounds of a lethal chemical that has killed over 100,000 Americans. Despite this deadly assault on America, there has been no decisive whole-of-government reaction by the United States to solve this problem. In fact, there has been almost no coordinated reaction at all.
