The public relations war between supporters of the F-35 and Gripen has taken another twist as an internal Department of National Defence document comparing the two fighter jets has been leaked.
Canada’s fighter jet debate continues with still no decision from Prime Minister Mark Carney on which aircraft his government will purchase. The choice comes down to the U.S.-built F-35 versus the Swedish Gripen fighter aircraft. Some analysts are also proposing a combination fleet of both jets to meet the Canadian military’s needs.

What does the latest round of diplomacy on Ukraine tell us about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s mood and intentions?
For starters, that he’s not ready to sign a peace deal. At least, not right now.
And certainly not the deal (or deals) on the table.
“No compromise version has yet been found,” commented Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov after five hours of talks in Moscow involving Putin, US envoy Steve Witkoff, and Donald Trump’s adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
No compromise is no real surprise, considering the Kremlin leader’s uncompromising comments in recent days.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney sought to assure hundreds of First Nations chiefs Tuesday that the federal government will not impose a pipeline or other resource projects over their objections after they unanimously called for the withdrawal of his Alberta energy deal.
But the prime minister stopped short of guaranteeing that Indigenous Peoples will have a veto over resource developments, saying only that his government believes in the importance of Indigenous participation and consultation, along with Indigenous equity stakes and benefits from such projects.
Carney wants the Indians to stop the pipelines.

One in five Canadians say they do not have a family doctor and face health-care challenges as a result, according to a recent survey.
The survey, conducted by Angus Reid in collaboration with the Canadian Cancer Society was released on Nov. 28.
The survey also found that many Canadians who do have a family doctor report it is difficult to get an appointment, waiting at least a week or more to be seen. Survey authors say that is because doctors are taking on too much.

The Gaza war mostly behind him – or perhaps not – Benjamin Netanyahu must soon face a volatile Israeli electorate.
The country will go to the polls by next fall, assuming his thin coalition government can pass a budget by spring.

LIKE him or loathe him, question his inconsistencies and his many other flaws, but in my view Donald Trump’s response to the shooting of two members of the West Virginia National Guard in Washington DC by an Afghan migrant was spot on.
There was none of the pussyfooting ‘my thoughts are with . . .’ etc. Without equivocation, he immediately branded the shooting ‘an act of evil, an act of hatred and an act of terror’, adding: ‘It was a crime against our entire nation.’

How corrupt was the deal allowing Iran to retain its nukes? The larger question is how corrupt is the European political establishment?

Can they gaslight us anymore than this?
At the opening of the COP30 climate conference in Belem, Brazil’s President, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, declared it would be “the COP of truth,” and would act to “safeguard public trust in climate policy.”

The EU elites ludicrously claim that any opposition to the LGBT agenda constitutes alignment with Moscow, as if the universal, millennia-old belief in natural marriage is somehow Russian.
Just before the Polish presidential debate on April 11, Karol Nawrocki placed a Polish flag on his lectern. “I will represent it,” he said. Then, he walked across the stage to his liberal opponent Rafał Trzaskowski’s podium and set an LGBT flag in front of him. “I also have for Mr. Rafal Trzaskowski [The LGBT flag] because he has been running away from this symbolism,” he added, as Trzaskowski swiftly stashed the flag out of sight.

The days are long gone when rich activists could write off working-class voters as ‘fascists’.
I see Kneecap have put their name to a new movement ‘against the far right’. The Guardianistas in balaclavas are hooking up with other smug celebs to call for an end to ‘narratives of division and racism’. Wait – this is the same Kneecap that said ‘Up Hamas’ after Hamas butchered more than a thousand Jews? The same Kneecap that posted a pic of themselves grinning like loons the day after that act of fascist mass murder? The same Kneecap whose oldest member – the twat in the tricolor tea cosy – published an image of himself reading the collected speeches of Hassan Nasrallah, a book that calls Jews the ‘descendants of apes and pigs’?

In the latest example of Ottawa having sketchy figures on the number of non-citizens in the country, Statistics Canada has confirmed that it likely missed several hundred thousand non-permanent residents in the most recent census.
The term “non-permanent residents” refers to anybody living in Canada as a student, a temporary foreign worker or an asylum seeker. And a new report estimates that 38 per cent of non-permanent residents were “missed” by the 2021 census.
This was likely done deliberately to prevent an uprising. Our government simply can not be trusted.

Hundreds of Russian Porsche owners have found their cars immobilised across the country, amid fears of deliberate satellite interference.
Drivers have complained that their vehicles have suddenly locked up, lost power and refused to start, as owners and dealerships warn of a growing wave of failures that has left hundreds of vehicles stuck in place.
The nationwide meltdown hit Porsche models built since 2013, which are all fitted with the brand’s factory VTS satellite-security unit.
