As Allies Tie China’s Police Ministry to Overseas Repression, RCMP Refuses to Name Its Partner Agency

OTTAWA — In January 2026, the RCMP signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Public Security (MPS), renewing a framework for police cooperation with the same arm of the Chinese state that prosecutors in two democracies have now tied, in open court, to the surveillance and intimidation of dissidents on foreign soil — and, in one of those jurisdictions, to a notorious triad. It is a development that corroborates recent United States Treasury sanctions and Washington Post reporting pointing to deepening ties between Beijing’s security services and transnational Chinese mafia proxies.

Billions in aid handed to terrorists and criminals

Billions in aid handed to terrorists and criminals

Terrorists, hostile states and gangsters have been given more than £28bn of taxpayers’ money, including through aid payments, according to a secret government report.

The Telegraph can reveal details of a dossier showing that billions of pounds went to organised crime, with millions going to Russia and Islamic State.

It demonstrates that foreign aid and Covid relief loans were appropriated on a vast scale by Britain’s enemies, with the money beyond reach and those who took it unpunished.


Bet that Canada was robbed blind as well.

Why families with small children are leaving Toronto and Montreal for Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa

Why families with small children are leaving Toronto and Montreal for Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa

Toronto and Montreal are embarking on a period of mass school closings, driven not by falling birth rates or changing political priorities but by a failure to build child-friendly homes.

They risk joining the ranks of Vancouver, where fewer than one in 25 residents is under the age of five. Communities begin losing schools when the number of students leaving a system exceeds the number entering, and the number of young children in a city is a key early warning indicator.

Trump’s latest Iran war prediction: US in ‘final throes’ of ‘very good strong, powerful deal’

Trump’s latest Iran war prediction: US in ‘final throes’ of ‘very good strong, powerful deal’

TRUMP: ‘NO STICKING POINTS’: To hear President Donald Trump tell it, a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz and bar Iran from ever having nuclear weapons is just days away. By one count, Trump has made similar statements more than three dozen times in the past few months. However, speaking to reporters at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York last night, Trump insisted negotiations were about to conclude with a “powerful deal.”

“We’re in the final throes of what will be a very, very good deal that will not allow in any way, shape, or form nuclear weapons, et cetera,” Trump said after watching game three of the NBA Finals in New York. “And the Strait will open up right away. It’ll open up immediately upon signing, which could be in two or three days.”

Canadians react to Mark Carney’s food and groceries ‘fake’ benefit video

On Friday, Prime Minister Mark Carney shared a video of himself, his wife Diana Fox Carney, and other local Members of Parliament at a discount grocery store in Brampton to promote the launch of the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit.

Or as the Toronto Sun’s Brian Lilley put it, “celebrate his government’s total failure on affordability.”

His wife wore Chanel?

US adds China EV manufacturer BYD to list of firms with alleged Chinese military ties

US adds China EV manufacturer BYD to list of firms with alleged Chinese military ties

The US has added several major firms from China, including e-commerce giant Alibaba and electric car maker BYD, to a list of companies said to have ties with the Chinese military.

The Department of Defense’s list aims to alert American organisations to the risks of doing business with the Chinese firms, but their inclusion does not mean they are immediately sanctioned.

The Chinese embassy in the US told the BBC the list was “discriminatory” and said firms from China have strictly complied with the laws abroad.


This should make Carney happy.

BYD confirms Canada launch for late 2026 with 20+ dealerships and C$25,000 start price

‘I was suspended from police for questioning Islam’

A Christian police support officer was sacked after he asked questions about Islam in a diversity training session.

Luke Salmons lost his job as a police community support officer (PCSO) with the North Yorkshire force and was barred from policing after a conversation about Gaza with a Muslim officer.

He later won an appeal against his dismissal but has never received an apology from the force where he said a “culture of fear” existed among officers who were terrified of being fired for saying the wrong thing.

Michael Higgins: Archeologist’s ‘critical theory’ PhD thesis explains everything about Kamloops ‘graves’

Michael Higgins: Archeologist’s ‘critical theory’ PhD thesis explains everything about Kamloops ‘graves’

Five years of national angst and anger over the “discovery” of “graves” at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School was driven by an archeological report by a self-proclaimed activist archeologist and critical theory advocate Sarah Beaulieu. Her PhD thesis, completed in 2019, glorified her social warrior/critical theory credentials.

In her thesis, Archaeology of Internment at the Morrissey WWI Camp, insight into Beaulieu’s philosophy is revealed in chapter two under the headings “Critical Theory” and “Applications of Critical Theory within Modern Conflict Archaeology.”

Jurors were shown a photo of the ‘gapping’ two-inch stab wound that ‘completely went through the heart wall.’
