National security experts say Canada’s loose immigration system may have opened the floodgates to Iranian operatives bent on retaliation against the US
A shocking wave of Iranian regime insiders — including suspected members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — have quietly moved to Canada in recent years, stoking fears of sleeper cells poised to strike targets across North America.
The explosive revelation comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, where a shaky ceasefire appears to be holding after America joined Israel’s 12-day bombing campaign of Iran’s nuclear program.
Now, national security experts say Canada’s loose immigration system may have opened the floodgates to Iranian operatives bent on retaliation — and that the threat could extend across the border into the US.
Welcome to Iran North.
Climate Doomer Celebs Flock in Private Jets to Jeff Bezos‘ Wedding in Venice
A throng of Hollywood celebrities who’ve spent years lecturing about the peril we all face from climate change, hopped on private jets set for Venice where Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s three-day wedding extravaganza took place.
A logging protest in the treetops ends in terror, activists say
PORT ANGELES, Wash. — On the 40th night of the protest, a black Jeep drove up a logging road and stopped near the base of a towering grand fir.
For more than a month, environmental activists had been living on a platform some 80-feet up the trunk of that tree in an attempt to stop logging in the emerald foothills of the Olympic Peninsula. They had rigged a dunk-tank platform to cables that connected to a jumble of logs and brush strung across a dirt road on state land.
If anyone tried to break through the blockade, the platform could fall.
Now someone arrived who was ready to try.
GEIST: Ottawa’s latest bill could force your lawyer to rat you out
The government’s inclusion of warrantless information demand powers in Bill C‑2 has attracted mounting concern, particularly the stunning decision to target everyone who provides services in Canada — which creates near-limitless targets for warrantless disclosure demands.
Department of Justice officials have confirmed that Bill C‑2 extends far beyond just telecom companies to services such as financial institutions, car rental companies, and hotels. The inclusion of professional services that frequently face strict confidentiality obligations deserves greater scrutiny, as the approach virtually guarantees a constitutional challenge — alongside the privacy challenge — in light of Supreme Court of Canada rulings in Spencer and Bykovets.
1900 Scientists Say ‘Climate Change Not Caused By CO2’ – The Real Environment Movement Was Hijacked
Millions of people worldwide are concerned about climate change and believe there is a climate emergency. For decades we have been told by the United Nations that Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activity are causing disastrous climate change. In 2018, a UN IPCC report even warned that ‘we have 12 years to save the Earth’, thus sending millions of people worldwide into a frenzy.
Thirty-five years ago, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the (World Meteorological Organization) WMO established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide scientific advice on the complex topic of climate change. The panel was asked to prepare, based on available scientific information, a report on all aspects relevant to climate change and its impacts and to formulate realistic response strategies. The first assessment report of the IPCC served as the basis for negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Governments worldwide have signed this convention, thereby, significantly impacting the lives of the people of the world.
Michael Taube: Mark Carney leans European, but needs to buy American again
Prime Minister Mark Carney is seemingly in the process of moving Canada away from the United States — our longtime friend, ally and trading partner — and thrusting us into the waiting arms of the European Union. This is where he believes Canada, which he describes as the “most European of non-European countries,” truly belongs. Yet his narrow-sighted approach to the U.S. and EU could have devastating consequences.

GUNTER: Protectionist Canadian regulations drive up consumer costs, lower productivity
This week, Canada’s largest grocery retailer, Loblaws, announced it would eliminate property restrictions in its leases with landlords.
“Wow, Lorne,” you say. “Thanks for that fascinating glimpse into the scintillating world of commercial real estate.”

Spy Technology No Longer Leaves Anything to the Imagination.
China has invented a mosquito-sized spy drone, and now I can’t wait for Trump to come up with a flyswatter. If a Democrat were in the White House, they’d probably be considering introducing a mandate to wear full-body-sized masks to protect against spy mosquitoes. But I know Trump wouldn’t do that. Trump would rather blast Chinese flies with a cannon than further erode individual freedoms. And so would I.
Something Like Fire
Will the AI revolution warm us or burn us?
Machines can now talk with us in ways that aren’t preprogrammed. They can draw pictures, write passable (if generic) college essays, and make fake videos so convincing that you and I can’t tell the difference. The first time I used ChatGPT, I almost forgot that I was communicating with a machine.
Artificial intelligence is like nothing that humans have ever created. It consumes vast amounts of data and organizes itself in ways that its creators didn’t foresee and don’t understand. “If we open up ChatGPT or a system like it and look inside,” AI scientist Sam Bowman told Noam Hassenfeld at Vox, “you just see millions of numbers flipping around a few hundred times a second. And we just have no idea what any of it means.”
Ontario privacy commissioner urges guardrails on police gravitating toward ‘unbridled genetic surveillance’
In Burnaby, B.C., police investigating the rape and murder of a 13-year-old girl staged an undercover operation at a Kurdish New Year’s celebration in hopes of capturing the perpetrator whose identity was at that point completely unknown.
After DNA analysis from the crime scene suggested the suspect was likely Kurdish, the RCMP posed as market researchers for a fake beverage company at the ethnic cultural festival. Undercover officers served tea to festivalgoers at random in more than 140 disposable cups, which were then discarded, swabbed and analyzed. The DNA found on the cups included the brother of the suspect – a key step that allowed authorities to later arrest and convict the killer.
MI6 distances its new chief from Nazi grandfather
MI6 has cast distance between its new chief and her grandfather, who was this week revealed to have been a Nazi spy known as “the butcher”.
Blaise Metreweli was announced as the incoming head of the Secret Intelligence Service earlier this month. She will be its first female “C” in its 116-year history.
With little known about her wider backstory, documents show that her grandfather was Constantine Dobrowolski, who defected from Soviet Russia’s Red Army to become the Nazis’ chief informant in Chernihiv, Ukraine.
Failed New Zealand scheme is cautionary tale for Carney’s homebuilding agency: report
OTTAWA — Researchers with the Montreal Economic Institute say Canada’s new federal homebuilding agency is likely to overpromise and underdeliver, drawing a cautionary tale from down under.
The free-market think tank argues in a new study that New Zealand’s now-defunct homebuilding scheme KiwiBuild, a signature policy of Jacinda Ardern’s Labour government, shows why government bureaucrats shouldn’t try to play real estate developer.
Ardern is a ChiCom stooge so Ottawa will love her scheme.
