A Chinese tech giant filed more patents in Canada last year than any other company, evidence of what some observers say is a failure by Canada to secure the critical intellectual property rights needed to build next-generation technologies.
Why Palestinian Leaders Are Really Inciting Violence Against Israel
The Palestinian Authority (PA), facing growing criticism over the death of Palestinian anti-corruption political activist Nizar Banat, is trying to redirect the anger on the Palestinian street toward Israel.
Although Israel had nothing to do with the brutal killing of Banat, steering anger toward it is an old tactic used by Palestinian leaders for many years; whenever your people are angry with your corruption and repressive measures, you tell them that it is all Israel’s fault.
GOLDSTEIN: Indigenous Canadians ill-served by failed federal programs
The path towards reconciliation with Canada’s Indigenous people must lead to actual progress in improving their quality of life.
On that count, decades of Conservative and Liberal governments have clearly failed, despite pouring tens of billions of dollars into the effort.
Tucker calls for cameras in all classrooms: ‘not only are these people crazed ideologues, they’re stupid’
Much to the angst of the radical left, Fox News host Tucker Carlson remains laser-focused on keeping a spotlight on critical race theory, a toxic academic concept that uses skin color to effectively teach children to hate America.
A focus that comes as many Americans begin to realize that they have failed today’s children by allowing them to be exposed to and influenced by far-left propaganda in the classroom — to which Carlson had an answer.
Police State Begins: Pelosi Announces ‘Satellite’ DC Police Offices In Florida, California
In a remarkable display of how committed the Democrat party is to utilizing the narrative of domestic extremism for their own benefit, Nancy Pelosi is placing satellite field offices for the DC Capitol Police in key regions around the country. When we consider the FBI has field offices all over the country, you might ask: why does the Capitol Hill police need to expand beyond Washington DC?
Members of ‘Rise of the Moors’ sovereign citizen militia REFUSE to cooperate at arraignment and claim they are not subject to U.S. laws
Several members of the ‘Rise of the Moors’ sovereign citizen militia have appeared in court for arraignment, where they refused to cooperate and rejected the court’s authority, claiming they are not subject to U.S. laws.
The arraignment on Tuesday in Medford, Massachusetts came after the 11 militiamen were arrested in an armed standoff with police over the weekend, which was resolved without casualties.
They face several charges, including unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition and the use of body armor in commission of a crime, in connection with the standoff that started early Saturday morning on Interstate 95 in Wakefield.
Communist China secretly harvesting genetic data from women worldwide via prenatal tests
July 7 (Reuters) – A prenatal test taken by millions of pregnant women globally was developed by Chinese gene company BGI Group in collaboration with the Chinese military and is being used by the firm to collect genetic data, a Reuters review of publicly available documents found.
The report is the first to reveal that the company collaborated with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to develop and improve the test, taken in early pregnancy, as well as the scope of BGI’s storage and analysis of the data. The United States sees BGI’s efforts to collect and analyse human gene data as a national security threat…
Vatican Insider: Pope Francis ‘Will Never Be the Same’ After Operation
ROME — Luis Badilla, editor of the semi-official Vatican news aggregator Il Sismografo, said Wednesday that Pope Francis’ health situation is “severe” and when he returns from hospital he “will never be the same again.”
In his sobering blog post, Badilla declares that journalists and commentators are not doing the pope any favors when they downplay the seriousness of his illness.

Bipartisan group wants clarity on talks ahead of July 21 target
Dozens of House members from both parties urged the Biden administration Wednesday to reopen the border with Canada and take other steps to ease international travel, citing the power of COVID-19 vaccines and widespread testing.
The letter signed by 75 lawmakers said a majority of U.S. adults are fully vaccinated and six in 10 Canadians have received at least one dose, though full vaccinations in Canada should accelerate as supply improves in the coming weeks.
Riot Leader Had ‘Fully Constructed U.S. Capitol Lego Set’ at Home, FBI Says
Federal investigators seized an unusual piece of evidence from a Pennsylvania man indicted last month for his role in the Capitol riot—a Lego replica of the building he allegedly stormed. Robert Morss, 27, is accused of leading fellow rioters in what prosecutors say was “one of the most intense and prolonged clashes” with officers on Jan. 6.
PIERS MORGAN: I know who killed Capitol Hill rioter Ashli Babbitt but you don’t, and neither does her family – and whether you think she’s a traitor or a patriot, that is a shameful failure of public transparency and justice.
Armed Afghan women take to streets in show of defiance against Taliban
Women have taken up guns in northern and central Afghanistan, marching in the streets in their hundreds and sharing pictures of themselves with assault rifles on social media, in a show of defiance as the Taliban make sweeping gains nationwide.
One of the biggest demonstrations was in central Ghor province, where hundreds of women turned out at the weekend, waving guns and chanting anti-Taliban slogans.
They are not likely to head to the frontlines in large numbers any time soon, because of both social conservatism and lack of experience. But the public demonstrations, at a time of urgent threat from the militants, are a reminder of how frightened many women are about what Taliban rule could mean for them and their families.

French court convicts 11 for harassing teen over anti-Islam videos
A French court on Wednesday handed down suspended prison sentences of between four to six months to 11 people who were found guilty of online harassment of a teen for her anti-Islam videos published on social media.
The prosecutions came after the teen, known as Mila, was forced to change schools and accept police protection after threats to her life.
Since her first videos in 2020, the previously unknown schoolgirl has become a divisive public figure, seen by supporters as a symbol of free speech and the right to blasphemy, and by critics as deliberately provocative and Islamophobic.
