BBC trying to prove Trump caused Jan 6 riots

The BBC has demanded that Donald Trump hand over his personal messages in an attempt to prove that he incited the Jan 6 riots.

In a fightback against the US president’s $10bn (£7.5bn) defamation lawsuit, the broadcaster’s lawyers hope to prove in court that he should be held responsible for urging his supporters to storm the US Capitol.

Last year The Telegraph revealed that a speech given by Mr Trump on Jan 6 2021 was spliced together in a Panorama documentary that made it appear as if he was directly inciting the mob in protest against the election result.

Carney aims to reverse $1 trillion in foreign capital flight over 2 days in September

Carney aims to reverse $1 trillion in foreign capital flight over 2 days in September

Over two days in September, Prime Minister Mark Carney will try to stanch $1 trillion of foreign investment flight over the last decade.

You can’t fault the man for lack of ambition.

Carney is presiding over what he’s calling the Canada Investment Summit — a gathering of international business leaders, CEOs and institutional investors aimed at recouping the losses over the next five years.

They’re Not Rape Gangs…

They’re Not Rape Gangs…

Of course there was a cover-up. Of course it continues—witness the deafening silence of the legacy media in response to Rupert Lowe’s crowdfunded Rape Gang Inquiry, a silence identical to that which greeted every earlier report of the sexual atrocity now seemingly integral to multicultural Britain.

How could it possibly be otherwise?

Colby Cosh: Why Mark Carney felt comfortable spreading misinformation

Colby Cosh: Why Mark Carney felt comfortable spreading misinformation

Readers of the Post will notice a careful, measured column Thursday morning that discusses the U.S. government’s last-minute shakedown of Canada over the Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting the two countries; the bridge is scheduled to open Monday. Columnist Rob Breakenridge stops just short of calling the prime minister a liar, but asks why he was “making claims about the deal” just a few days ago “that would inevitably be disproven and discredited” when the details came out, as they did on Wednesday?

Canada-EU: Closer trade ties to counter Trump?

Canada-EU: Closer trade ties to counter Trump?

The latest salvo in US President Donald Trump’s freewheeling trade war could have disastrous effects for Canadian business. But the new tariff threats may also open up trade opportunities elsewhere, with China and the EU in a strong position to benefit.

Trump’s planned 50% tariff on a range of imported goods ranges from wine to hockey sticks but does not include other key sectors such as energy, potash and fish.

It is expected to impact about 5%, or $20 billion (€17.5 billion) worth, of goods and “the impact could be devastating for the people in businesses involved,” Julian Karaguesian, an economics lecturer from Canada’s McGill University, told DW.

Democrat Anti-Justice Comes For Shiloh Hendrix And Free Speech

Democrat Anti-Justice Comes For Shiloh Hendrix And Free Speech

If there’s ever a doubt as to how perverse the Democrat approach to the justice system truly is, think back to what just happened to a 37-year-old woman named Shiloh Hendrix.

Hendrix on Thursday was sentenced by a judge in Rochester, Minnesota, to 200 hours of community service and fined $1,000. All of that is for an incident captured on video at a playground last year, wherein Hendrix was seen holding her young child and walking away from a man who was demanding that she speak to him.

Terry Glavin: Carney’s global quest for photo ops comes with crippling compromises

Terry Glavin: Carney’s global quest for photo ops comes with crippling compromises

That’s Canada’s trade policy for you.

It’s a peculiar axiomatic reality of Canadian public opinion. Whenever the popular loathing of United States President Donald Trump is inflamed, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s approval ratings either solidify or rise. While President Trump’s belligerent tariff manipulations alienate America’s friends and allies around the world, Carney can be found posing with yet another head of state at the signing of some shiny new free trade arrangement.

80% of ‘Squad’ Members Moved Money to ‘Squad-Husbands’

The group of radical female congresswomen who call themselves “the Squad” was supposed to be a triumph for feminism, but behind the scenes they serve as meal tickets for very shady men.

The latest scandal involving the “Squad Husbands” was the dead body of a teenage girl turning up in a house owned by Conan Harris: the husband of Squad member Rep. Ayanna Pressley.

Inside Britain’s DEI police force – Fantasies of inclusion are colliding with reality

Inside Britain’s DEI police force – Fantasies of inclusion are colliding with reality

Andrew*, a detective sergeant in the Metropolitan Police, is telling me about a former trainee. “Before they join, direct-entry detectives are sold the whole Line of Duty bollocks,” he says. “They think they’ll be chasing gangsters. Then we dump them in an office and give them 40 GBHs, frauds and sexual assaults to deal with.” That’s what normally happens — but Andrew’s colleague was neurodiverse. This allowed her to get “reasonable adjustments” under the Equality Act, meaning she only had to investigate a single case at a time. What about the other 39 crimes the average detective deals with? “The rest of her team took them on,” Andrew says. The rookie’s staff association even argued she couldn’t be put in situations where she might be surprised. “That is obviously a problem for a detective,” he adds.

The math of Canada’s immigration enforcement no longer works—and organized crime knows it

The math of Canada’s immigration enforcement no longer works—and organized crime knows it

When U.S. prosecutors unsealed indictments against 37 people tied to India-based crime syndicates earlier this month, they exposed a distinctly Canadian vulnerability: nearly every accused Bishnoi gang foot soldier arrested here entered from Punjab on a study or temporary work permit—many, the indictments allege, obtained with fraudulent information. As Hub senior correspondent Graeme Gordon reported, the years-long Operation Hard Ball investigation traces how Canada’s immigration system became a recruitment pipeline for transnational organized crime—one running through what criminologist Kelly Sundberg calls “a broken, and in places effectively non-existent, security screening process.”

‘Once again the system bends over backwards for a child killer’: Fury of victims’ families as Southport killer ‘manipulates’ his way out of prison and into Broadmoor

‘Once again the system bends over backwards for a child killer’: Fury of victims’ families as Southport killer ‘manipulates’ his way out of prison and into Broadmoor

The families of three girls murdered by Axel Rudakubana have accused the Southport killer of trying to ‘manipulate the system’ after he was transferred to Broadmoor.

The 19-year-old was moved to the secure psychiatric hospital from Belmarsh prison earlier this week after it was decided that he could not be managed safely in a prison environment.

Lawyer Chris Walker, of Bond Turner, who is representing the Southport families, said: ‘The three families we represent have been made aware of this development in the last 48 hours and it is safe to say that whilst this news would devastate them at any time, the fact that this has occurred as we approach the second anniversary in our view is another move by AR who would appear to be attempting, once again, to manipulate the system.

BERNARDO: Canada’s gun grab is finally headed to the Supreme Court — will licenced firearm owners finally be heard?

The Supreme Court of Canada is preparing to hear four connected appeals concerning the federal Order in Council that prohibited more than 1,500 firearm models beginning May 1, 2020.

CSSA has applied for leave to intervene.

That does not mean the Supreme Court has granted CSSA a place in the case.
