This is a follow-up to my previous investigation into organized crime in the trucking industry — a story that revealed how an undercurrent of labour exploitation and immigration abuse has taken hold of a vital piece of Manitoba’s economy. That story described the hidden networks that profit from human desperation, the corruption of safety systems, and a growing web of shell companies used to launder money and evade taxes.

The Telegraph has published the internal dossier that has plunged the BBC into crisis.
The document, written by former journalist Michael Prescott and sent to the BBC board, exposes a string of incidents that demonstrate serious apparent bias in the corporation’s reporting.
They include evidence that BBC Panorama “doctored” a speech by Donald Trump to make it wrongly appear as though he directly called for violence on the day that his supporters stormed the US Capitol.
Wow.
While talking about nails — by way of eye shadow, boys and her frustrating mother — Brianna Warner confessed to murder.
It was a huge get for Toronto police, one that was months in the making.
While the 18-year-old Warner had emerged as a person of interest in the December 2022 shooting of 20-year-old Jai Parker-Ford, investigators weren’t quite ready to charge her.
She seems all too common a monster.
Get your elbows up, boys. Canada’s back! Mark Carney is going to make Canada Great Again and pull the military up by its bootstraps. Hooah!
Chief of the Defence Staff and weepy DEI-hire General Jennie Carignan signed a directive to increase the size of Canada’s reserve forces from 25,561 to 400,000. For those rubbing their eyes at that number, that is a 16-fold increase.
TODAY, the annual Remembrance Sunday commemoration is held in London to honour the contribution of service personnel and civilians in the two World Wars and successive conflicts. It is a sombre occasion: the military bands stirring, the uniforms and greatcoats immaculate, and the church bells muffled. The crimson poppy wreaths are laid, while thousands of marchers salute the Cenotaph.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the economy, boosting productivity while simultaneously threatening widespread job displacement. As AI progresses, a growing number of workers face unemployment or precarious employment, fueling political pressure for Universal Basic Income (UBI)—typically understood as unconditional payments aiming to guarantee a basic standard of living.
Our 2025 federal budget is 493 pages long. The word ‘youth’ appears only eight times. The term ‘child’ appears only six. More than seven million Canadians under the age of 18 who access government services across multiple sectors such as justice, policing, education, national training initiatives, and health care, have somehow been forgotten about in Ottawa.
References to children and youth in this budget are limited to the most extreme efforts of protection or survival. Or, they are mentioned in terms of being the third-party catalyst to dollars that incentivize or assist adults.
Wraychel Gilmore??!!??
The Star is not happy. Carney don’t care about no kids no how anyway.
The Metropolitan Police yesterday published an independent report by Dr Shereen Daniels, “commissioned by the service to examine how the organisation has responded to long-standing evidence of racism and discrimination”. It concludes that the Met is, in fact, systemically racist. What it really reveals, however, is that too many in senior policing roles really have lost the plot.
Using public funds to hire a racial justice activist to write a report about racism is bad enough, but the Met’s own press release skirts the bounds of honesty and integrity when it describes the review as “independent”. Commissioning an activist who makes a living from seeing racism everywhere was always going to end up with a thesis dripping in divisive critical race theory.
The Blaze claims that its forensic analysis, confirmed by intelligence sources, has finally found a potential match for the long-unidentified Jan. 6 pipe bomber.
Every year on Remembrance Day, Canadians gather to honour the fallen, recalling the iconic battles of Vimy Ridge, Ypres, Ortona, and Kapyong, and the bravery of Spitfire pilots, corvette crews, and infantrymen who clawed through Europe’s darkest hours.
But beyond those famous chapters are lesser-known stories, often forgotten, that reveal the full scope of Canada’s military commitment, from global wars to distant peacekeeping missions and humanitarian crises.
Christians in Nigeria have welcomed Donald Trump’s threat to send the US military to the West African nation ‘guns-a-blazing’ – but its leaders are wary.
Nigeria has been roiled by internal violence in the wake of a jihadist insurgency spearheaded by extremist group Boko Haram in the northeast since 2009.
Trump, 79, had already designated Nigeria a ‘country of particular concern,’ but he took his condemnation of the situation in the country even further last week after hearing about it on Fox News, threatening to cut aid and even send in US troops.
In December 1989, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl declared, “Hungary knocked out the first brick of the Berlin Wall.” His remarks reveal the increasingly forgotten role Hungarian decision-makers and society played in the summer of 1989. It was Hungary that finally fulfilled what Ronald Reagan called for two years before when he proclaimed, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall”. Yet, as the memory of that momentous year fades, its message remains relevant. The Berlin Wall may have fallen, but the divisions it once symbolised still run deep across Europe.
Two strong, gracious women striving to make this world a better place were honoured at the Fox News’ 2025 Patriot of the Year Awards on Thursday.
Claws shot out in a flash.
The 21st century – if you hadn’t noticed – has been a pretty rocky ride. We’ve already been through several economic crashes, a global pandemic and an affordability crisis, not to mention wars in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Nor is the political landscape much cause for joy: of the democracies around in the 1990s, more than 25 have slid back to dictatorship or authoritarian semi-democracy, while China and Russia are once again ruled by autocrats. The United States every day looks more like the Roman Republic near its end, run by a President openly seeking Caesar’s perpetual dictatorship with even less deference to the Senate.
It is not intolerant to reject Mamdani’s implicit claim that non-Muslims cannot speak of Muslim wrongdoing.
In my mind today was a man who sometimes joined our family’s Friday night Shabbat meal. He was at that time Chancellor Jim Heft of the University of Dayton, a Marianist priest who has long since moved to LA following his calling. A man well read in theology and philosophy, he also earned my basketball-mad son’s esteem for his appreciation of the game, both as a good pick-up player and as a fan of the usually-excellent teams that UD put forward. My son also appreciated his edgy sense of humor, and my son, in his own gently ironic way, would always call him “Padre.”
