How Soros Is Preparing for a Battle With the Trump Administration

Soon after a Justice Department official instructed attorneys to probe George Soros’s philanthropic empire last month, Soros’s son Alex joked to a friend “that the Stalinists had a saying for this.”

“‘Give me the man, and I will give you the case against him,’” Alex Soros recounted to former Ithaca, N.Y., Mayor Svante Myrick.

Threats from the Trump administration are mounting toward the two Soroses and other Democratic megadonors, as the president has accused them of supporting violent protests and engaging in unlawful activity.

Slogans, flags and 500 BeaverTails: Inside Carney’s spending for his Liberal leadership bid

Mark Carney was the front-runner heading into this year’s Liberal leadership contest, but receipts for his $3.8-million campaign give a glimpse of exactly what it took to get across the line.

Invoices submitted to Elections Canada also show that even as his leadership campaign was winding down, he was getting ready for the next one, a general election he’d call only weeks later.

What’s Behind Gun Violence Archive’s Numbers

The Gun Violence Archive is the preferred source for information among almost every media outlet I seem to come across. There are a handful of exceptions, but those are generally outlets that have their own tracking efforts.

Interestingly, every single one of those tends to have a far lower number of things like mass shootings than the Gun Violence Archive has.

Canadians warming slightly toward China amid economic concerns

After years of strained relations, Canadians are showing a modest shift in their views of China, according to new research from the Angus Reid Institute and the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada.

While favourability remains low, more Canadians are signalling interest in focusing on economic engagement with the Asian powerhouse.

It’s not exactly a Love-In.

This Photo Should End Zohran Mamdani’s Campaign

Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for mayor of New York City has always been a political red flag, but his latest move makes it clear that this isn’t just about misguided socialist politics; it’s a full-blown ideological danger. The city that once prided itself on resilience is now flirting with political self-destruction. Mamdani, the self-described democratic socialist, doesn’t just advocate for the usual left-wing laundry list — that’s bad enough — but now a photo op is revealing something far more sinister than bad economic and social policies

WARMINGTON: RCMP probes dwindling Ostrich numbers as CBC laughs at impending deaths

No matter how loudly the CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes laughs and jokes about the culling of living animals, there’s nothing funny about dead ostriches.

Nor is the mocking of the Canadian farmers, who in real life are advocating for them to not be killed but in a mocking way comedian Mark Critch depicts them in wardrobe and narrative as dumb hicks who are subjects of he and the CBC elites’ disdain and ridicule.

Armed Forces, DND suing watchdog to block publication of critical report

OTTAWA — The Department of National Defence and Canadian Forces are suing an intelligence watchdog to prevent it from releasing without further redactions a review that found that some of their human intelligence source handling activities may break the law.

In a lawsuit filed in late August, both federal bodies requested a Federal Court judge quash the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency’s (NSIRA) decision to release a redacted version of a 2023 review under access to information laws.

Trump deploys secretive ‘Night Stalkers’ regiment as Venezuela mobilizes

Donald Trump has deployed one of the Army’s most secretive regiments in the Caribbean after threatening strikes inside Venezuela.

The president warned socialist tyrant Nicolas Maduro that he better not ‘f*** around with the United States’ as he spoke to reporters at the White House on Friday.

Trump has ordered five strikes over the last two months on Venezuelan ‘narco-terrorist’ boats in the Caribbean, killing at least 27 alleged drug traffickers.

Ontario’s auto sector is faltering. What’s Plan B?

It’s worth remembering that Canada wasn’t exactly pleased when, under former prime minister Justin Trudeau, it found itself offering huge subsidies to automakers just to keep jobs on this side of the border. There was a real fear that generous subsidies included in Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act would create a giant sucking sound, pulling Canadian jobs to the United States.

How the NHL and reality TV explain trade’s Team Canada implosion

I will go to my grave still hollering crankily that there is no such thing as “Canada’s team,” an idea that surfaces every time there’s one Canadian team left in the NHL playoffs.

And the reason it’s not a thing for anyone but the most casual bandwagon-jumper is exactly what’s ripping the trade version of Team Canada apart at the seams at the moment.

Jewish man arrested after his Star of David ‘antagonised’ protesters

A Jewish lawyer wearing a Star of David was arrested after police alleged the symbol had “antagonised” pro-Palestine protesters.

Police interview footage obtained by The Telegraph shows a detective accusing the Jewish man of openly wearing a Star of David that could cause “offence”.

The suspect, who was handcuffed and detained by police for almost ten hours, told The Telegraph his arrest appeared to be an attempt by the Metropolitan Police to “criminalise the wearing of a Star of David”.

Great Britain is lost.

Apples stuffed in strollers and half-eaten fruit tossed away: Local orchard farmers say rampant theft is ‘killing our lifestyle’

Melissa Downey was working the checkout booth at her family’s pick-your-own produce farm in early October when she noticed two customers trying to sneak past the exit.

A man was trying to balance an overflowing bag of apples while a woman used her sweatshirt as a makeshift basket. Downey, suspicious they were trying to leave with stolen goods, called out to them.

The woman went up to the booth and, after a brief back-and-forth, slapped Downey before walking away with the stolen fruits.
