RCMP strengthens ties with FBI, but critics warn Mounties are too dependent on U.S.

Canada’s national police force says it will continue to strengthen ties with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, even as experts warn against deepening the relationship at a time of growing divergence between the neighbouring countries.

This year, RCMP-FBI co-operation has been credited for dismantling gangs such as Ryan Wedding’s alleged drug-trafficking organization, with Mountie Commissioner Mike Duheme appearing alongside Trump administration officials to announce these takedowns.

The experts are concerned the US has tipped us off about pending terror attacks and criminal activity plus Trump.

Kimberly Guilfoyle is asked to resign by White House, new press secretary says

The White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle, the ambassador to Greece, to resign, new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia told reporters on Tuesday, a day after President Donald Trump said he was considering firing her after allegations she asked a political donor for $100,000 to pay her personal American Express bill.

Guilfoyle, who was once the fiancée of Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr., has denied any wrongdoing, but the State Department’s Office of Inspector General has begun an investigation into her conduct.

A stupid mistake.

Canadians are still boycotting Las Vegas. The Sin City slump is now a major election issue

Canadian travel to Las Vegas continues to crater amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s attacks on Canada, and the tourism slump in Sin City has become a major midterm election issue.

Nevada Democrats are trying to capitalize on the decline, blaming Trump’s trade war and threats toward Canada — the state’s largest source of international tourists.

“The Trump Slump is real, and Las Vegas tourism is tanking,” the party said in one of its campaign messages ahead of the November vote in this crucial swing state.

Canadians are broke
Vegas has raised prices to levels that discourage tourism, even Americans have stopped going
This is CBC acting as a Democrat propaganda outlet attributing Trump with an outsized level of fault.

Some of the decline can be traced to a drop in Canadian visitors but there are a number of issues that have contributed to the slump.

What factors have contributed to the drop in Las Vegas tourism?

How Canada Should Fight Trump

“Trump’s hatred for Canada has permanently damaged world’s best trade relationship.”

So reads a Saturday headline in the Edmonton Journal. It isn’t surprising, given the president’s penchant for belittling Canada by referring to Prime Minister Mark Carney as the “governor” and the country as our “51st state.”

Majority of Canadians support closer formal ties with European Union: poll

Canadian support for more formal ties with the European Union appears to be growing, a new poll suggests.

Nearly eight in 10 respondents were supportive or somewhat supportive of Canada becoming an associate member of the EU so long as the agreement increased co-operation on trade and defence, but stopped short of full membership.

EU-Funded “Disinformation” Group Puts America on Its Threat List

EU DisinfoLab is a Brussels-based non-profit that received a substantial amount of money from the EU – and has now put the United States on its list of foreign information threats.

The organization held its annual conference, #Disinfo2026, on October 7 and 8 in Lithuania, and the first day included a panel titled, “USA as a FIMI threat: acknowledge, adapt, push back.” FIMI stands for foreign information manipulation and interference.

A military underfunded, undermanned and underprepared

The radars watching over Canada’s Arctic region were designed when the Soviet Union was a country. The Royal Canadian Navy’s frigates and the Royal Canadian Air Force’s fighter jets are nearing the end of their useful lives. As Canada looks to reinvigorate its defence sector with billions of dollars in new spending, years of neglect may have left Canadian Forces short of the equipment they need to fight alongside their allies.

Canada is expected to put 25 per cent of its 2026 defence budget toward major equipment, according to NATO data compiled by Benchmark Canada, a Macdonald-Laurier Institute project that ranks the country against its allies. That would exceed NATO’s 20 per cent guideline for a second consecutive year, but leave Canada ranked 28 among the 31 allies measured.

The Liberal Party has left us poor and defenseless while courting dubious allies..

MI5 chief warns of threats to UK from Russia, Iran and AI

MI5 is devoting more resource to countering state threats than during the Cold War, the head of the intelligence service has said, as he labelled Russia “aggressor number one”.

Sir Ken McCallum warned MI5 was now facing a situation in which “our terrorism and state threats operational missions are pretty much of equal scale” as threats from foreign adversaries have quadrupled over the last decade.

He used an annual speech at the domestic intelligence service’s headquarters in London to also warn of rising threats from Iran and “extreme right-wing terrorism”.

Germany suspends naturalizations of Chinese nationals posing as alleged Nazi victims

How a Mexico-U.S. trade deal could set the terms for Canada

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Washington is gearing up for next year’s review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, but signs of negotiating progress have come mainly from the U.S.-Mexico trade teams in recent weeks, while formal talks between the U.S. and Canada remain stalled.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer says he speaks frequently with Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc, but there have been no formal meetings between the U.S. and Canadian sides since talks collapsed in August.

Ilhan Omar torches Trump over ‘political intimidation’ after feds raid home amid immigration probe

Ilhan Omar has attacked Donald Trump for targeting her with ‘political intimidation’ after federal agents swooped on her home in a pre-dawn raid.

Homeland Security Investigations entered the Somali-born congresswoman’s home in Washington DC on Monday amid a probe into immigration papers filled out on her behalf by her father when she was a child.

Omar wrote on X: ‘I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement.

Federal agents searched Ilhan Omar’s home at 6am today in a Homeland Security investigation.

The receipts:
• 2009: legally marries Ahmed Elmi. The license was signed by a Christian pastor
• 2012: has a child with Ahmed Hirsi while still married to Elmi
• 2014–15: files joint taxes with Hirsi while legally wed to Elmi
• 2017: divorces Elmi, then marries Hirsi a month later
• Her father: a colonel in Siad Barre’s army, the regime behind the Isaaq genocide. Up to 200,000 killed
• 2022: photographed at the same event as Gen. Morgan, "the Butcher of Hargeisa." Her brother calls him "uncle"
• Her MEALS Act let USDA waive program rules. 70+ people were later charged in the Feeding Our Future fraud
• Her campaign "enforcer" pleaded guilty. His fake site claimed 5,000 meals a day and took in $2.9 million

"No one is above the law." – Ilhan Omar

Is Olivia Chow ‘out of ideas’? Why her campaign isn’t pitching anything new — and Brad Bradford’s is

The press invitation from Olivia Chow’s team Wednesday night promised their candidate would make a “signature campaign announcement” the following morning.

It was the first indication all election long that the incumbent might be set to present voters with something new. For months, Chow had mostly stuck to reiterating policies she’d drafted while in office.
