On Friday, the United States will close the door on a long-standing trade convenience: The de minimis exemption. For decades, this rule allowed small shipments valued at $800 US or less to cross the border duty-free, bypassing the cumbersome customs procedures that normally apply to imports.
BREAKING: The Minneapolis shooting suspect has been identified as Robin Westman.
The alleged shooter released multiple videos on social media, which showed that he clearly hated Christians. They have since been taken down.
“Where is your God?” read one mag.

Robin Westman doesn't sound any different than your typical left wing indoctrinated college student, his views on Christians, Jews and Trump all line up. He's a bit more coherent perhaps. https://t.co/EmRXZ0gxmB

… Community members told CBC News that incidents such as arson, vehicle accidents and conflicts have increased over the past three years. Some in the community, which has no police force, blame the presence of cannabis megastores and a spate of illegal dumping that saw as many as 500 trucks a day roar into Kanehsatà:ke, according to Quebec court records.
… The stores operate outside of Quebec and Canada’s cannabis laws, and the Mohawk Council of Kanesatake has so far failed to pass any rules to regulate these operations, some of which are linked to organized crime, according to elected band officials.
“We’re in a war zone,” Montour told CBC News. “Nobody is helping us.”
The biggest, boldest lie of every welfare state is that the goods and services it is providing to its citizens are “free.” Those of us with brain cells and an aversion to lying know that this is not only untrue, but also impossible. Politicians are fond of throwing taxpayer dollars around like drunk Kennedy cousins on summer break in Monte Carlo in order to make voters love them.

OTTAWA — The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, once a proud symbol of Canadian law and order, is now an institution in crisis. Reports that nearly 20 percent of members are off on sick leave confirm what many of us who have served and worked alongside the RCMP have known for years: the force is no longer capable of fulfilling its federal policing mandate.
Instead of standing at the forefront of the fight against transnational organized crime, terrorism financing, cybercrime, and foreign interference, the RCMP is bogged down in contract policing, backfilling gaps with temporary duty assignments, and diverting precious resources to VIP security. What was once a national force is now an overstretched patchwork, trying—and failing—to be all things to all people.

Denmark’s foreign minister has summoned the top US diplomat in Copenhagen, following a report that American citizens have been conducting covert operations in Greenland.
Denmark’s public broadcaster DR quoted sources as saying the aim was to infiltrate Greenland’s society and promote its secession from Denmark to the US, although it was unable to clarify who the men were working for.
Danish intelligence warned Greenland was being targeted by “various kinds of influence campaigns”.
9:45 a.m. – An Annunciation parent who was sitting in the back pew at the 8:15 a.m. Mass said students were packed into the pews when a shooter opened fire outside the building with some kind of semiautomatic weapon.
“He just pepper-sprayed through the stained-glass windows into the building, 50 to 100 shots,” said the parent, who did not want his name used. “He killed two kids.”
“This is terrible,” he said. ”This is evil. I don’t know how you defend against this.”

Minneapolis Police took longer to respond to the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School because of other violent crimes in the city and a police shortage thanks to Democrats efforts to defund the police.

The Liberal government has extended Canada’s NATO presence in Latvia for another three years, but it is still struggling to fill in the equipment gaps as the war in Ukraine rapidly reshapes the battlefield troops might be expected to fight on.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the three-year extension Tuesday night following a meeting with Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina in Riga, the capital of the Baltic country.
On Wednesday, he visited Canadian troops at Camp Adazi, where roughly 2,200 Canadian soldiers are serving along with 1,300 troops from more than a dozen other NATO nations.

On Aug. 8, Hamilton Mayor Andrea Horwath saw a billboard she didn’t like. So she lifted her hand and she gave a command. And the billboard came down that same day.
“This afternoon, my office was made aware of a transphobic ad on a billboard along the Linc,” Horwath announced on social media, referring to the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway. The post didn’t mention what the advertisement said, or what it was about.
No one sensible denies the hardship people in Gaza are facing. But @AmiraElghawaby you're not evenhanded.

Woman, 32, is dragged into bushes and raped in front of the Eiffel Tower
A teenager has been arrested after a woman was dragged into the bushes and raped in front of the Eiffel Tower.
The suspect, a Libyan 17-year-old, was taken into custody shortly after the horrific attack near the Champ-de-Mars in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
According to initial evidence gathered by police officers at the scene, it was 2.40am when a man forcibly dragged the victim, a Ukrainian woman, 32, behind a bush.

The Irish hip-hop group Kneecap, whose performance at Coachella earlier this year sparked controversy for projected messages against the Israeli government’s war in Gaza, is cancelling 15 of its shows in the United States but says four scheduled shows in Vancouver and Toronto will go on.
In an Instagram post this week, the group announced it was cancelling the U.S. shows due to Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh’s upcoming court hearing in London scheduled for Sept. 26.
Ó Hannaidh is a rapper and group co-founder who performs under the name Mo Chara. He faces terrorism charges in the United Kingdom after videos emerged appearing to show him wearing a Hezbollah flag over his head. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are designated terror groups in Britain and Canada.
