At first glance, the presence of inexpensive Australian beef in Canadian grocery stores seems absurd. How can beef raised thousands of kilometres away, shipped across the Pacific and distributed through Canada sell for substantially less than beef produced in Alberta?
Today, a Senate committee led by Rand Paul (R-KY) will vote to send a contempt charge to the full Senate over Fauci’s refusal to testify while immunized last week. That could lead to criminal prosecution by a Department of Justice that’s likely enthused by the prospect. Fauci’s diaries on government servers would get even more attention in a high-profile trial, laying out Fauci’s lies during the pandemic as well as his infatuation with celebrity, his own and others’.
That may not be the last reveal into Fauci’s character, either. The Wall Street Journal reported late last night that another Senate committee now has a copy of Fauci’s iPhone, used during his management of the pandemic. What secrets might that hold?
Update: Fauci held in contempt by Senate panel after taking the Fifth 111 times in COVID hearing — could face prosecution
WASHINGTON — A Senate committee voted on Thursday to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt for declining to answer questions about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as his past testimony to Congress regarding risky, US-funded “gain of function” research
The Senate Homeland Security Committee voted 8-5 along party lines to refer the former director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) for potential prosecution after he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights 111 times last week.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday that Canada has “been involved from the start” in the case of a Canadian intern at NATO’s military headquarters in Belgium now facing espionage charges,
Carney spoke in Toronto on Wednesday after making a housing announcement, and was asked whether he has spoken with NATO or the Belgian authorities about what Canada will do next and about the security risk posed by the spying case.
That’s Carney speak for “We gave Biwei her marching orders.”
The lefty Canadian illegal immigrant who slapped a teenage girl at the Jersey Shore wearing pro-Trump clothing embarrassingly failed to raise half the money requested for her legal fund.
An online fundraiser for Kaitlyn Tracey’s legal expenses in her immigration case only raised $4,857 of its $10,000 goal — a final, humiliating blow as she was ordered to be deported back to her home country on Tuesday.
Canadian provincial politicians are vastly overpaid compared to their U.S. counterparts, but their electors have little to show for it, according to a new report released by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF).
The Subnational Politician Pay Report looks at average salaries for provincial and state politicians across Canada and the United States.
Iran says it has reached an agreement with Oman on a route for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei did not give any further details on the agreement, which he said was “in the final stages”.
Baqaei warned, however, that a deal with Oman would not guarantee safe navigation through the strait, arguing security remained impacted by the US blockade of Iran’s ports. The US and Oman have not commented on the proposal.
The federal government is pledging $2.7 billion to build more than 18 housing projects across the city of Toronto, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Wednesday.
The plan includes 5,600 rental homes, 1,800 of which will be “deeply affordable,” supportive or rent-controlled, according to Carney. He said 4,500 new homes will be under construction by year’s end.
He said the projects will take place in neighbourhoods hardest hit by rising rent and evictions, and will include a 16-story complex in Parkdale and another in Scarborough at 158 Borough Drive.

Austria’s right-wing Freedom Party (FPÖ) has criticised the use of almost €400,000 in public funds for a university research project examining the evolution of “far-right” fashion.
The three-year project, entitled “Fashion and Right-Wing Extremism,” is being carried out by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and is due to conclude in September. It has received almost €400,000 in funding from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), which is financed through public money and supervised by the Social Democrat-led Ministry for Women, Science, and Research.
The intellectual foundation underlying the Canadian policy of continuous, high immigration is showing considerable strain as key weaknesses are exposed in several of the arguments most commonly used by proponents.
One of the most common reasons cited by politicians to explain why Canada needs a high annual immigration inflow is to offset declining domestic fertility rates. A core flaw of this argument was just exposed in a paper published in Population Research and Policy Review, a longstanding peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to the study of demography.
Dutch authorities have arrested four teenagers with immigrant backgrounds in connection with an investigation into an alleged terrorist plot, with prosecutors accusing the suspects of preparing a terrorist attack while continuing to insist that no specific target or timing for an attack has yet been identified.
The latest arrest came on Friday evening, July 31st, when heavily armed officers from the police’s Special Intervention Service (DSI) detained an 18-year-old man at his home in Kesteren, Gelderland. Police searched the suspect’s home and seized electronic devices, including phones and laptops, for further examination.

A refugee who pleaded guilty to trafficking large amounts of methamphetamine and fentanyl and committing sexual assault has convinced an Alberta judge to give him more time to appeal his convictions by arguing he was misled into believing he would not get deported for serious criminality.
Mahir Yahya Shari, who has served three years for his drug and sex crimes, is facing deportation to Somalia after the Department of Immigration declared him a danger to Canada.
This little dog was out here acting like he ran the whole park…

It’s become cliché to roll out Mark Twain’s supposed line about history rhyming. But the videos of the invasion of Ceuta, the autonomous Spanish city bordering Morocco, remind you why cliches exist — they’re based on truth.
The “Allahu Akbar!” screaming invaders — some 60,000 military-aged Moroccans with nothing but the clothes on their backs — were dumped into Ceuta to destroy it. The laxer ones did their part by turning the streets into toilets and the fountains into bathtubs (two ways of killing beauty fast). The friskier ones waged war against the city and its people. They set cars afire. They cracked open and looted homes and businesses.
