Migrant deported in chains: ‘No-one will go to US illegally now’

Gurpreet Singh was handcuffed, his legs shackled and a chain tied around his waist. He was led onto the tarmac in Texas by US Border Patrol, towards a waiting C-17 military transport aircraft.

It was 3 February and, after a months-long journey, he realised his dream of living in America was over. He was being deported back to India. “It felt like the ground was slipping away from underneath my feet,” he said.

Gurpreet, 39, was one of thousands of Indians in recent years to have spent their life savings and crossed continents to enter the US illegally through its southern border, as they sought to escape an unemployment crisis back home.

Never suggest annexation doesn’t have an upside! Trump could remove Brampton in a month!

Jordan Peterson: Mark Carney doesn’t value a prosperous Canada

Mark Carney, heir to the Canadian throne, such as it is, is indeed wrestling with a difficult problem in his 2021 book Value(s)  — or even a difficult set of problems. The title indicates as much (or, more accurately, the presumptuous subtitle): “Building a Better World for All.” We should first note in evaluating the quality of Carney’s thought (as we should, given his desire and likely opportunity to lead our fair land), that this is a very difficult set of nuts to crack: “building,” “better,” and “for all,” and that success in such a venture is tantamount to the actions of a veritable world redeemer or saviour. The question that then arises should then clearly be “is Mr. Carney up to such a task?” Our initial position with regard to that question should be one of extreme doubt and skepticism, given that very few, if any, have ever demonstrated such truly awe-inspiring ability.

Anger at Elon Musk turns violent with molotov cocktails and gunfire at Tesla lots

The woman in the black hoodie walked onto the Tesla car lot prepared to inflict damage. She came with four Smirnoff Ice bottles filled with gasoline, flung them at electric vehicles parked around the dealership and watched as they burned.

Over the course of 13 days starting Jan. 29, according to court records, Lucy Grace Nelson made repeated trips to the Tesla car lot in Loveland, Colorado. Once, she spray-painted “Nazi” in black under the dealership’s entrance sign, according to court documents, and another time, she ignited a molotov cocktail near a Tesla Cybertruck. She also allegedly used red spray-paint to scribble a message on the car dealership’s entrance doors: “F— Musk.” Nelson’s lawyer declined to comment on the case.

King Charles ‘worried about Canada v Trump’ and will call for unity

The King is said to be concerned about the discord between Canada and the US, an issue that is “particularly on his mind” as Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau continue to clash.

On Monday Charles met the outgoing Canadian prime minister, who has repeatedly locked horns with the US president over Trump’s imposition of crippling tariffs on Canada and his taunting of “Governor Trudeau”.

On several occasions Trump has proposed making Canada, of which Charles is head of state, into America’s “51st state”.

Inside SBF’s Campaign for a Presidential Pardon From Trump

After the spectacular collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried opened a Google Doc and started brainstorming a plan to resuscitate his public image.

“These are all random probably bad ideas,” the FTX founder wrote.

The collection of 19 bullet points ranged from portraying himself as “extremely pro crypto, pro freedom” to sending out a poll on Twitter soliciting advice. But it was No. 3 on the disgraced mogul’s list of strategies that looked like the most improbable suggestion of them all: going on Tucker Carlson’s show and coming out as a Republican.

Despite Trudeau promises, more Indigenous people being jailed in Canada

SASKATOON, March 8 (Reuters) – Like a growing number of formerly incarcerated Indigenous people, Marvin Starblanket’s life is still governed by Correctional Service Canada rules.

They determine where he sleeps (a halfway house instead of at home with his partner and children), when he clocks in for the night (10 p.m.), whether he drinks alcohol (he is prohibited), and the job he pursues.

The rules did not stop Starblanket, who is 42, from getting a pair of gray-scale tattoos on the backs of his hands: “Good” on the right, in curly script set against bars of heavenly light; and “Evil,” against a smokily stylized skull, on the left.

Russian spymaster’s plot to use private army to control migration into Europe

A Russian spymaster plotted to use private armies to control migration into Europe, The Telegraph can reveal.

Jan Marsalek, the fugitive boss of the disgraced tech company Wirecard, planned to create a 15,000-strong band of mercenaries to control the border in the key migration route through Libya.

Weaponising the flow of migrants is said to be a key aim of Vladimir Putin, with the issue being a major factor in elections across Europe.

Joly calls CBC essential to protecting Canadian democracy

Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly says the CBC is critical to safeguarding Canadian democracy against external threats, particularly from the United States.

Blacklock’s Reporter says speaking to the Vancouver Board of Trade, Joly argued that the Crown broadcaster is as vital as Parliament and the courts in the current “security crisis.”

How can a broadcaster almost no one watches be essential to anything?

Conrad Black: Canada’s stark choice

Canada is teetering on the verge of plunging headlong into a state of political anomaly unique among large and sophisticated countries. We appear to be about to elevate to the de facto position of interim prime minister someone who would then be one of the last government leaders of serious countries still urging backbreaking public sacrifices to eliminate fossil fuel use and thus strangle into painful extinction our greatest industry (petroleum) and the key to the economic prosperity of Canadians over the next 50 years. Everybody in the world is opposed to the pollution of the world’s air and water, and to that extent, everyone in the world is a conservationist. But the advocates of the abolition of the oil and gas industry, even though natural gas is a relatively clean fuel (as is nuclear energy), are not seeking a realistic balance between the economic welfare of the population and the security of the environment. They take no account of the fact that the leading offenders of their perfectionist standards of avoidance of carbon use — China, India and Russia, in particular — consider all of these climate change warnings to be unmitigated rubbish and make virtually no concessions to them whatever.

California tries to tear down the Castle Doctrine

A few decades ago the movement for concealed carry began. Anti-liberty/gun cracktivists were outraged. There would be wild west gunfights everywhere! The streets would run with blood! Of course, none of that happened. More recently, the Constitutional Carry movement caught fire, and the same predictions of blazing gunplay were made and failed to materialize. More than half the states allow constitutional carry and every state allows concealed carry of some sort. No state that has adopted concealed or constitutional carry has repealed either.

The Allison Pearson scandal is more sinister than you think

When the police knocked on Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson’s door last year, it prompted a justified national outcry. She was told by two officers on Remembrance Sunday that she was being investigated for ‘stirring up racial hatred’ – all because of a nearly year-old tweet, in which she mistook some British Pakistani protesters for pro-Hamas protesters and railed against ‘Jew haters’. That Pearson promptly deleted it soon after apparently made no difference.

DEI and the ‘Bigness’ Problem

For decades, the political left—and even parts of the right—have insisted that “diversity is our strength” and has striven to convince Americans (and other Westerners) of the importance and beauty of “multiculturalism” and other related social phenomena. Today, with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs and ideology under attack by most of the right and by the Trump Administration in particular, the left is howling that the nation’s principles themselves are being harmed and that we, as a people, are doing tremendous damage to the fabric of our society, sacrificing one of our most important characteristics on the altar of white privilege.

Trumping the bureaucracy

Workers at the U.S. African Development Foundation, a self-described independent agency, refused to let into its building the agency’s new acting director on Wednesday.

So much for the peaceful transition of power.

The agency has 55 employees and an annual budget of $45 million. USADF has been around longer than Fauci and it is just as useless and full of itself.

Is MAGA Wrong on Ukraine? Douglas Murray thinks so. I don’t.

I am hardly alone among conservatives in stating that I greatly admire Douglas Murray, a fierce opponent of wokeness, defender of Israel, and author of such must-reads as The Strange Death of Europe and The War on the West. And that is why his latest piece in The Spectator, titled “The MAGA Movement is Wrong on Ukraine” is such a disappointment that I felt compelled to respond (the article is behind a paywall, unfortunately, but I have excerpted the key selections below).

“How can the right be so wrong? Or at least portions of the right – especially the American right – when it comes to Ukraine?” Murray asks and then explains.

No one wants Ukraine to fall but those attacking the US should validate their concern by helping pay the bills.

Braid: Invading Canada would spark guerrilla fight lasting decades, expert says

An expert on insurgency says an American military incursion into Canada would be a disaster — for the United States.

A military move by President Donald Trump could eventually destroy America’s worldwide power, says Dr. Aisha Ahmad, an associate professor at the University of Toronto.

Dr. Ahmad has studied insurgencies and visited many conflict zones for more than 20 years. She sees a pattern of resistance that repeats itself every time.
