Canadian Forces airdrop humanitarian aid into Gaza for the first time

The Canadian Armed Forces made their first humanitarian airdrop over Gaza on Monday using their own aircraft — delivering 9,800 kilograms of aid to Palestinians, according to Global Affairs Canada.

CBC News had exclusive access to the Canadian effort, which delivered food supplies like lentils, oil, milk powder and pasta using a CC-130J Hercules aircraft that departed from a Jordanian airbase.

Collateral damage?

The Civil War: A War That Should Never Have Been Fought

That the Civil War was fought over slavery has become a central myth of the United States. It is, rather, more accurate to see the War as a profound repudiation of the nation’s founding in the War of Independence.

“We have no more right to meddle with slavery in Georgia than we have to meddle with monarchy in Europe,” proclaimed the Providence Daily Post on February 2, 1861. Abraham Lincoln had no objection to such an observation. In his fourth 1858 debate with Stephen Douglas, Lincoln declaimed: “I will say that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races…I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races, which I believe will forever forbid the two races from living together on terms of social and political equality.”

Kelly McParland: Bowing to Trump would betray Canada

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s post-midnight response to Washington’s latest escalation of its tariff war was calm, measured, sensible and appropriate, everything the current regime in Washington is not.

Canada, Carney said, will continue to negotiate in search of a reasonable agreement, notwithstanding the absence of any indication the U.S. is open to reasonable negotiations. What Washington wants is to continue operating what amounts to a global extortion racket, threatening all America’s best customers with dire consequences if they refuse to bow to its demands and offer up supplication to whatever notion occurs to President Donald Trump at any given moment.

Is supporting Carney any better? I doubt it.

My identical twin sister will always be my person, even as I medically transition

Being a twin means you’re part of a unit. Although our parents worked hard to ensure we could grow as separate people, we were “the girls.” For the longest time, that’s how I understood myself and my identity: I was Camilla’s sister.

That’s why when I sat down with my doctor to discuss gender-affirming care, the first thing I needed to say was that I’m an identical twin.

Why is our national broadcaster championing sexual mutilation fetishists’?

The CCP Is Inside the Fed: Shocking New Evidence of Chinese Infiltration at America’s Central Bank

A decade-long infiltration campaign by the Chinese Communist Party has penetrated the Federal Reserve—coercing employees, stealing sensitive data, and compromising America’s financial core.

Most Americans have heard about Chinese spies targeting our military or hacking private companies. But there’s another front in this quiet war, one that’s gone largely unreported—and it may be the most dangerous of all: China’s long game to infiltrate and manipulate the United States Federal Reserve.

A 2022 Senate investigation offered a rare glimpse into this operation, but even that barely scratches the surface. What’s playing out behind closed doors isn’t just a few bureaucratic missteps or naïve collaborations—it’s a full-blown economic espionage campaign.

This is warfare without bullets.

China Is Choking Supply of Critical Minerals to Western Defense Companies

Beijing’s tightened controls are a sign of the leverage it has over the U.S. military supply chain

China is limiting the flow of critical minerals to Western defense manufacturers, delaying production and forcing companies to scour the world for stockpiles of the minerals needed to make everything from bullets to jet fighters.

Earlier this year, as U.S.-China trade tensions soared, Beijing tightened the controls it places on the export of rare earths. While Beijing allowed them to start flowing after the Trump administration agreed in June to a series of trade concessions, China has maintained a lock on critical minerals for defense purposes. China supplies around 90% of the world’s rare earths and dominates the production of many other critical minerals.

As a result, one drone-parts manufacturer that supplies the U.S. military was forced to delay orders by up to two months while it searched for a non-Chinese source of magnets, which are assembled from rare earths.

Experts seek fact based analysis to convince public that the destruction of their economic & social well being by mass immigration is a good thing

As premiers push for more immigration power, experts call for a fact-based debate

OTTAWA – Some premiers say they want to have more local control over the immigration system — but experts say what the system really needs is a national conversation on immigration reform that shores up public support.

“Most of the existing policies have been formulated on the fly without any evidence or serious impact evaluations of what the various classes of immigrants are, how they’re performing economically and otherwise,” said Michael Trebilcock, a retired academic and co-author of two books on immigration policy.

“So it’s basically research-free.”

From Hitler to the Ayatollahs: The Long History of European Treachery

While the United States and Israel have carried the backbreaking burden of confronting the Iranian regime’s nuclear threat with courage and real-world action, some European leaders have once again decided to play the coward’s role — not just by refusing to stand up to Iran, but by actively enabling it.

As Israeli and American forces took awe-inspiring steps to cripple Iran’s nuclear weapons program and weaken the Islamic Republic’s regional power projection, the leaders of the EU3 — France, Germany, and the United Kingdom — have been busy smiling across negotiating tables, scheming behind closed doors to help the regime survive. At a time when moral clarity is desperately needed, these European leaders, in what appears a toxic lust for trade profits, appears to be choosing hypocrisy and appeasement.

England, Germany, France like most Euro states have large Muslim populations capable of civil war scale violence. They will face a worse future than they know.

MANDEL: Eight swarming girls, not one sentenced to further jail time in slaying of Ken Lee

Rowdy, drunk and high, the wild pack of troubled young girls met up at Yorkdale before hopping on the subway to head downtown.

By the end of the night, after what a judge would call “brazen, feral and immature” attacks on other commuters, being thrown out of TTC stations, and shoplifting, the vicious girls savagely swarmed a defenceless homeless man across from Union Station, leaving him with a fatal stab wound to the heart and 19 injuries from blunt-force trauma.

Mere months of probation for murder is the wrong signal to send our feral youth.

Surprised That George Soros Is Somehow Tied Up in the Russia Collusion Hoax? Don’t Be!

The declassified appendix to the much-anticipated report by Special Counsel John Durham has sent the internet ablaze over its documentation of Hillary Clinton’s insidious scheme in 2016 to falsely tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia in order to boost her own presidential campaign. That vendetta would culminate in one of the most notorious political witch hunts ever foisted on the American people that would effectively hamstring the administration of a duly elected president for four years.

Sheryl Saperia: Supporting Palestinian statehood means endorsing violence

Former U.S. vice-president Hubert Humphrey once observed that “foreign policy is really domestic policy with its hat on.” This deceptively simple phrase captures a profound truth: a country’s stance on international affairs is almost never just about abstract ideals or global ethics. It reflects, and often redirects, domestic pressures, political calculations and the ideological currents coursing through national life. Canada’s proposed recognition of Palestinian statehood is a prime example — a foreign policy move with far-reaching consequences for our national and international security.

Carney is cool with that.

Ninety laptops, millions of dollars: US woman jailed over North Korea remote-work scam

Don’t forget to replenish my cheese supply Trumpy.

In March 2020, about the time the Covid pandemic started, Christina Chapman, a woman who lived in Arizona and Minnesota, received a message on LinkedIn asking her to “be the US face” of a company and help overseas IT workers gain remote employment.

As working from home became the norm for many people, Chapman was able to find jobs for the foreign workers at hundreds of US companies, including some in the Fortune 500, such as Nike; “a premier Silicon Valley technology company”; and one of the “most recognizable media and entertainment companies in the world”.

The employers thought they were hiring US citizens. They were actually people in North Korea.
