Vice President JD Vance said in an interview Sunday that “a lot of people” are about to get indicted over the Obama administration’s machinations on so-called Russiagate.
Without divulging specific names of who will get charged, Vance pointed to recent disclosures from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard as ironclad evidence that there had been “an aggressive violation of the law” revolving around Russiagate.
Nearly half of Canadians want the federal government to cut the governor general’s budget, according to new polling released by Leger and highlighted by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF).
The poll found that 49% of respondents support reducing spending on the ceremonial office, while only 13% want it increased. When excluding those unsure, nearly 60% favour a cut.
A Montreal think tank says the federal government could save $10 billion by reducing 64,000 public service jobs.
The Montreal Economic Institute (MEI) made the recommendation in a pre-budget brief released on Aug. 7. It urges the government to follow the approach of former Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, saying his government reduced the civil service by 17 percent over five years.
I don’t see Carney alienating the public service unions, they are too significant a vote bloc.

According to new report, opposition to abortion is more ‘extreme’ than rape.
AEuropean abortion lobby is warning against “religious extremism” on the rise across the continent, singling out Catholicism and ignoring the threat posed to Europe by Islam. The 158-page report “The Next Wave: How Religious Extremism Is Reclaiming Power,” published by the European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual & Reproductive Rights (EPF), faults “religious extremism” for the phenomenon of “accelerating financial expansion of movements working to dismantle decades of hard-won sexual and reproductive rights across Europe.”

Grant Kilian likes to move fast between the tall blue recycling bins he sorts through, in Vancouver’s West End alleys.
Time, but more accurately, cans are money here. The faster you can fill a bag, the faster you can get paid at the return depot. A big garbage bag full of beer cans, some of which he says he crushes, at 10 cents a pop, could earn Kilian about $30 in tax-free cash.
As he puts it, it’s just a bit of extra money for food, bills or cigarettes when everything feels tight.
It’s an economic miracle if you consider turning a wealthy nation into a 3rd World Dumpster Fire a miracle.

On Tuesday, the FBI released its annual update on American crime trends, estimated from police department reports covering 2024. The big headline: America’s murder rate stood at five per 100,000 last year. This was well below its 2020–21 surge of around 6.5, a 15 percent decrease from 2023, and even a touch below the 2019 rate.
The murder spike that began in 2020 is officially over.
Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle.
As companies like Amazon and Microsoft lay off workers and embrace A.I. coding tools, computer science graduates say they’re struggling to land tech jobs.
Growing up near Silicon Valley, Manasi Mishra remembers seeing tech executives on social media urging students to study computer programming.
“The rhetoric was, if you just learned to code, work hard and get a computer science degree, you can get six figures for your starting salary,” Ms. Mishra, now 21, recalls hearing as she grew up in San Ramon, Calif.
Those golden industry promises helped spur Ms. Mishra to code her first website in elementary school, take advanced computing in high school and major in computer science in college. But after a year of hunting for tech jobs and internships, Ms. Mishra graduated from Purdue University in May without an offer.

The chances of Canada convincing Donald Trump’s White House to reverse his tariffs on a wide range of Canadian goods seems remote. There’s a possibility cases working their way through the U.S. courts will — maybe within the next six to 12 months — find Trump has overstepped his authority to impose tariffs and reverse them.
“The European Union is one of the least corrupt regions in the world,” boasts the European Commission on its website.
Oh really? Let us take a look at the EU organization itself, which — once again –- is at the center of a new corruption scandal.
Belgian police raided more than 20 locations in Belgium and Portugal in March in an investigation of alleged “active corruption within the European Parliament,” for the benefit of China’s tech giant Huawei, according to Belgium’s federal prosecutor’s office. Huawei’s main lobbying office in Brussels was raided, alongside European Parliament offices.
A new poll finds support for Prime Minister Mark Carney remains unchanged despite not reaching a trade deal with the United States earlier this month.
The Abacus Data poll conducted in the days following the passage of the self-imposed August 1 deadline for a deal with U.S. President Donald Trump shows support for the Liberals remains strong despite signs that the government isn’t doing enough when it comes to the stagnant economy and affordability issues.
Washington is “done with the funding” of Ukraine’s war against Russia, JD Vance, the US vice-president, has said, as Europe scrambles to build a united defence before in-person negotiations between Presidents Trump and Putin.
Speaking in an interview after an emergency summit with European and Ukrainian officials, co-hosted by David Lammy at Chevening, the foreign secretary’s mansion in Kent, Vance said Americans were fed up with paying towards the cost of the war.
“What we said to the Europeans is simply, first of all, this is in your neck of the woods. This is in your back door,” he told Fox News. “You guys have got to step up and take a bigger role in this thing. And if you care so much about this conflict, you should be willing to play a more direct and a more substantial way in funding this war yourself, I think the president and I certainly think that America, we’re done with the funding of the Ukraine war business.
JD VANCE ON UKRAINE: “Americans, I think, are SICK of continuing to send their money, their tax dollars”
DARN RIGHT!
