Immigration Minister warns foreign nationals to not abuse asylum system as U.S., U.K. tighten rules

Immigration Minister Lena Diab is warning foreign nationals against abusing Canada’s asylum system, as other G7 countries tighten their refugee rules.

Britain and the U.S. have recently restricted their asylum regimes, raising concerns among immigration experts that this could divert some refugee claimants to Canada.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced he is halting asylum applications, while the British government is planning to end automatic permanent residence for refugees, and would require them to reapply every two-and-a-half years to stay in the country. Britain plans to make refugees wait 20 years for permanent residence.

Canada is an easy mark and Diab is a liar.

US Rep. Ilhan Omar’s close ties to the $1 billion welfare scam in her Minnesota congressional district are being uncovered.

Is Ireland About to Erupt Into a Civil War Over ‘Illegal Immigration’?

Official details surrounding the alleged rape of a 10-year-old Irish girl by a 26-year-old “asylum seeker” are murky due to a system that protects not only the victim, but also the alleged predator.

As the Irish Times reports, police “have been unable to speak to a 10-year-old girl, who was allegedly sexually assaulted in west Dublin last month, ‘due to medical advice,’ a court has heard.”

On top of that, the alleged perpetrator in the case “cannot be identified due to the nature of the charge.” The unidentified man is accused of sexual assault of the girl on Oct. 20, 2025, “after the girl went missing from care.”

‘They just don’t get it’ — Some Trudeau-era Liberal MPs struggling to adjust to Carney’s leadership, say sources

In the wake of Steven Guilbeault leaving cabinet, a senior government source told iPolitics that several other Trudeau-era Liberal MPs are also having challenges “coming to grips” to the new direction laid out by Prime Minister Mark Carney.

The source, who requested anonymity because they’re not authorized to publicly speak on the matter, said many like Guilbeault are concerned about the government’s shift in approach on climate issues, including laying out a path for a new oil pipeline to the West Coast in an agreement with Alberta reached last week.

Trump Returns to Gasoline as Fuel of Choice for Cars, Gutting Biden’s Scam Climate Policy

The president said he would weaken Biden-era mileage standards, which were designed to increase electric-vehicle sales, calling them a “scam.”

President Trump on Wednesday threw the weight of the federal government behind vehicles that burn gasoline rather than electric cars, gutting one of the country’s most significant efforts to address climate change and thrusting the automobile industry into greater uncertainty.

Flanked by executives from major automakers in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump said the Transportation Department would significantly weaken fuel efficiency requirements for tens of millions of new cars and light trucks. The administration claimed the changes would save Americans $109 billion over five years and shave $1,000 off the average cost of a new car.

Freeland calls Ukraine a ‘fantastic investment’ as Ottawa tosses $235 million more down the black hole of elite theft

Former federal minister Chrystia Freeland this week said Ukraine can become an economic juggernaut and boost European economies by taking up the opportunities it missed after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Her comments come as Ottawa pledges another $235 million for Ukraine through the NATO military alliance, and as the world watches for the latest iteration of a Washington-brokered deal to end Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Freeland spoke Tuesday at a Toronto conference aimed at drumming up investment in Ukraine. It appeared to be her first major speech in Canada since Prime Minister Mark Carney appointed her as special envoy for the reconstruction of Ukraine.


Freeland’s appointment is a clear conflict of interest. Canada has taken a back seat to Ukraine’s grift machine.

Revealed: Maduro’s terms of surrender to Trump

Venezuelan president’s blanket amnesty demand for top officials is deal-breaker for Washington

Venezuela’s president asked to keep $200m of his private wealth, amnesty for his officials and safe harbour in a friendly country as part of a deal with Donald Trump to step down and flee, sources said.

Those familiar with a phone call between the two leaders told The Telegraph that the plan fell apart owing to Nicolas Maduro’s demands for a blanket amnesty for as many as 100 top officials.

During the 15-minute call, the two leaders also disagreed on how to set up a transitional government and on the location Mr Maduro would flee to from Venezuela.

Jan 6 DC Pipe Bomb Suspect

A man has been arrested in the Jan. 6, 2021, pipe bomb case, and is expected to appear in court later Thursday, according to a person familiar with the development who was granted anonymity to discuss the sensitive case.

No arrests had previously been reported in connection with pipe bombs discovered outside the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican National Committees on the same day as the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. The bombs, which the FBI has described as “viable” but did not detonate, were believed to be planted the day before.


Update – Suspect ID’d

The suspect arrested for planting pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic National Committees ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, riots has been identified as Brian Cole of Virginia, sources confirmed to The Post.

John Ivison: An assisted-suicide political time bomb is ticking for Mark Carney

Prime Minister Mark Carney has displayed a remarkable willingness to dismantle the legacy of his predecessor across the public policy board.

In the coming months, he may be tempted to take another look at one of the more indefensible decisions made by former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s government: the expansion of its medical assistance in dying legislation.

Sweden Sent Millions to Extremist-Linked Groups

Swedish taxpayers have been funding organisations tied to extremism, a leading political scientist warns, including a mosque that Sweden’s security service says has been used as an intelligence hub for the Iranian regime.

The Imam Ali Islamic Centre in Järfälla received 3.2 million kronor (€292,000) in 2023 from the Swedish Agency for Support for Religious Communities (SST). The money was channelled via the Islamic Shia Associations in Sweden (ISS), which shares the mosque’s address and has taken in 28.5 million kronor (€2.6 million) in subsidies since 2006. In total, SST handed out 80 million kronor (€7.3 million) to religious groups last year.
