A Communist Party Talent-Recruitment Official Co-Wrote a Book With the Canadian Scientist Now Charged With Copying Thousands of Government Files

OTTAWA — Dennis Lu, the Natural Resources Canada scientist at the center of one of the most consequential foreign-interference prosecutions in the country’s history, co-authored a scholarly book on carbon-capture technology that his publisher released in December 2024 — months after Canada’s national security police had already detained him. The Bureau has confirmed Lu’s co-author was a Chinese professor who is also a Communist Party personnel official: the man who, since 2020, has helped run the recruiting machinery at Southeast University in Nanjing and today directs its Talent Work Office.

Iranian Regime’s Insatiable Drive to Wipe Out Jews, Christians, Minorities: World Turns a Blind Eye

Despite sanctions and military setbacks, Tehran’s ideological commitment to the destruction of Israel, and targeting Jewish, Christian, Baha’i and other worldwide minority communities, remains a core pillar of its foreign policy and proxy strategies.

In Iran, far from being “just” rhetoric, this antagonism is daily seen in a pattern of terrorist operations, including plots against synagogues, Jewish sites, Christians, Baha’i and other “infidels,” which exposes the regime’s transnational reach.

When, however, anyone says that Iran is doing this, the so-called international community and United Nations are completely silent.

U.S. unveils visa policy targeting alleged far-left terrorists

July 16 (UPI) — Secretary of State Marco Rubio unveiled a new policy to impose visa restrictions on alleged far-left terrorists, as the Trump administration promotes far-left political violence as a growing threat not only to the United States but also to the world.

The visa-restriction policy, announced Thursday, targets members of far-left terrorist groups and other aligned organizations who have supported or incited acts of terrorism or violence, participated in economic sabotage or supported violent and other criminal actions.

LILLEY: If food delivery riders leave Toronto’s bike lanes, who will use them?

A new ad campaign by the City of Toronto is warning e-bike riders not to use the city’s bike lanes.

My question is, if the e-bike riders delivering food orders for Uber Eats, DoorDash and SkipTheDishes aren’t using the city’s bike lanes, then who will?

White House Fact-Checks Media’s Election Fraud Cover-Up Lies

After President Donald Trump released a trove of declassified documents exposing how domestic and foreign actors undermined the credibility and results of our election system, mainstream media went into full denial mode.

As part of his primetime speech on Thursday, Trump accused some media figures of taking Chinese bribes for negative coverage on him. Well, he did not list names, but the media outlets quickly confirmed suspicions themselves by rushing to deny any and all evidence. Trust them, not the stacks of declassified documents, was the lefty media message.

Mexico not looking to cut side deal with U.S. and leave Canada out, foreign secretary says

Mexico’s foreign secretary says his country isn’t looking to cut a deal with the U.S. if it means abandoning the trilateral trade pact with Canada.

When asked Friday if Mexico would go it alone on a trade deal with the U.S., Roberto Velasco Álvarez shook his head and said all three countries that make up the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) have bilateral issues to work on.

Public must pay sex offender’s $50,000 legal tab due to ‘deliberately uncooperative’ Toronto cop, judge rules

A judge has ordered that the public pick up a convicted sex offender’s $50,000 legal tab due to delayed disclosure of records by Toronto police and the “deliberately uncooperative” detective in charge of the case.

Superior Court Justice Gillian Roberts took the rare step of ordering costs against the Crown — the provincial government — last month, in the case of a man who, after accusing his partner of cheating, ripped off her pants, attempted to penetrate her digitally and tried to shove her tampon in her mouth while threatening to kill her.

‘Profound, resigned hopelessness’: people across US and Canada share effects of wildfire smoke

As smoke from hundreds of Canadian wildfires continues to spread across large parts of North America, bringing hazardous air to tens of millions of people, outdoor activities are being canceled, businesses disrupted and vulnerable residents are being kept indoors as officials warn the unhealthy conditions will likely persist.

Air quality alerts were issued across more than 20 US states as smoke from wildfires burning in south-central Canada, northern Ontario and parts of Minnesota drifted south. About 109 million Americans across the midwest, mid-Atlantic and north-east experienced unhealthy air this week.

Cuba edges toward breakdown as power cuts and US meddling push society to brink

When Cuba’s national grid collapses, as it did for the third time in 10 days on Tuesday, a collective groan spreads across its cities and people wonder, again, whether the island’s antiquated electricity system may soon become unrecoverable.

The 777-mile Caribbean island of 9.5 million people has been sweltering under a six-month-long oil blockade imposed by the US, part of a pressure campaign to bring down its communist government. But the parlous state of Cuba’s infrastructure goes far further back.

“The backbone of the system is still the big power plants,’ said Jorge Piñon, a senior energy researcher at the University of Texas. “And they’re old, broken and tired.”

Noah Shack: Iran’s terror-crime nexus is a growing threat to Canadians

On July 18, 1994, a suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden truck into the Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires, killing 85 people and injuring hundreds in the deadliest terror attack in Argentina’s history.

In the devastating aftermath, Argentina’s Jewish community — the largest in South America — was left questioning its safety and future in their country. Deepening that sense of fear was the fact that those responsible remained unidentified for more than a decade. Prosecutors ultimately identified the suicide bomber as a 21-year-old Lebanese member of Hezbollah and concluded that the attack had been directed by the Islamic Republic of Iran.

RIP Volkswagen? The downfall of a German giant

Oliver Blume, the 58-year-old chief executive of Volkswagen Group, has lived and breathed the mighty German car industry for three decades.

After training as an engineer, he began his career in the body shop of Audi, honing his skills at a time when German cars were still the first and last word in automotive excellence.

He surely couldn’t have imagined, or wanted, his stellar VW trajectory to end up like it did last week.

‘Just stop burning fossil fuels.’ Scientists stress that our smoky skies have only one true fix

It’s another smoky summer in southern Ontario, and people breathing poor air in and around Toronto are once again asking what governments can do about wildfire smoke.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has defended the province’s wildfire budget and has asked Ottawa for extra help. Some Republican lawmakers in the U.S. have also demanded Canada do more to stop smoke from drifting across the border.

I say we start burning EV’s instead!
