NATO bets on Saab, giving Canada’s GlobalEye gamble a major boost

NATO bets on Saab, giving Canada’s GlobalEye gamble a major boost

NATO has made it official, announcing Tuesday that it intends to acquire up to 10 Saab-manufactured GlobalEye early warning surveillance aircraft in a plan that has important implications for Canada.

Secretary General Mark Rutte said at the outset of this year’s leader’s summit in Ankara, Turkey, that the Western military alliance will open formal negotiations with the Swedish company in order to secure the planes.

The alliance had previously signalled it was looking at the high-tech jet as a replacement for NATO’s existing fleet of aging Boeing E-3 AWACs.

Florida governor rebuked by MPs for ‘you’d be speaking German’ jibe

Florida governor rebuked by MPs for ‘you’d be speaking German’ jibe

Ron DeSantis has been accused of “belittling” Britain’s war dead after claiming the country would be speaking German if it were not for the United States.

Ministers, senior MPs and peers criticised the Florida governor over a social media post that suggested the defeat of Nazi Germany in the Second World War was only achieved because of the US.

Mr DeSantis was described as a “cretin” after sharing an X post about the Old Ferry Boat Inn in Cambridgeshire, and using it to make a joke about American military might.

LILLEY: Does Pierre Poilievre actually want to be prime minister?

LILLEY: Does Pierre Poilievre actually want to be prime minister?

I want Pierre Poilievre to be Canada’s next prime minister, but I’m beginning to question whether he wants the job.

Poilievre continues to go out of his way to alienate different factions of the conservative movement and pick unnecessary fights with people who should be his allies.

Stay the course, eventually it will dawn on the Elbow people that they re-elected Trudeau’s inept crew under his adviser Carney’s banner.

Graham Platner’s ex Jenny Racicot accuses him of rape, says Maine Senate hopeful was ‘very drunk and wouldn’t take no for an answer’

WASHINGTON — An ex-girlfriend of scandal-scarred Graham Platner alleged that the Maine Senate hopeful broke into her home and raped her almost five years ago.

Maine resident Jenny Racicot came forward with the accusations to Politico, recalling the alleged rape in graphic detail and providing corroboration. A chorus of prominent Democrats quickly rescinded their endorsements of Platner and urged him to exit the race, including New York Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand.

Michael Higgins: Recognizing ‘Palestine’ was so obviously a mistake

Michael Higgins: Recognizing ‘Palestine’ was so obviously a mistake

The obvious problem with rewarding terrorists is that they tend to take advantage. So it is with Hamas.

Almost a year ago, Mark Carney signalled his intention to recognize the state of “Palestine” and since then Hamas has: grown stronger; rearmed; carried out daylight executions of Palestinians in Gaza; and, according to a report, is on the verge of restarting its war with Israel.

It was calculated.

Jewish revellers are abused at London Pride and told to ‘go back to your Zionist homeland’ – while police stand by

Shocking footage shows Jewish revellers being harassed and heckled at London’s Pride march – while police officers watched on and made no arrests.

Scotland Yard said it was investigating anti-Semitic abuse after clips posted online showed Jews being told to ‘go back to your Zionist homeland’ and that ‘you kill Arab children, you kill gay children’ in reference to the war in Gaza.

One woman also appeared to shout ‘f*** you, Jew’ during a confrontation that began with chants of ‘Free Palestine’ in Soho on Saturday.

Republican bill aims to punish Canadian provinces with U.S. alcohol bans

Republican bill aims to punish Canadian provinces with U.S. alcohol bans

U.S. Republican Congresswoman Claudia Tenney proposed legislature Monday which she says would “hold Canada accountable” for “unfair” provincial limits on importing American alcohol — which were made in response to the trade war and tariffs launched against Canada last year.

The Combating Attacks on our National Alcoholic Drinks by Allies (CANADA) Act states that under Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act, the legislation would direct U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and his office to investigate Canadian provincial liquor board restrictions on the import and distribution of U.S. products within 30 days, if made law.
