Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty Tuesday to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records tied to the Stormy Daniels hush-money payment.
Trump, 76, was pictured with his shoulders slightly hunched as he took his seat at the defendant’s table in Manhattan Supreme Court ahead of his historic arraignment.
Canadian government doesn’t scale back on Chinese steel in new navy patrol ships
Canada has yet to determine how much Chinese steel and equipment will go into its new naval warships, but it didn’t scale back on such products for its Arctic and offshore patrol vessels even though concerns were raised in 2018.
You have to admit that China and its assets have got very good value for their donations to Trudeau’s foundation and election campaigns.

Alberta NDP candidate Samir Kayande (Calgary-Elbow) said he was disappointed to see Conservative MP Greg McLean (Calgary Centre) “support the hateful, foreign-funded white supremacist blockade threatening Ottawa.”
“They have swastikas and Confederate flags,” said Kayande in a LinkedIn post.
“Symbols that stand for my erasure and my children’s death.”
Sammy, STFU.
… While he had been initially charged with the theft of COVID-19 relief funds, he also admitted to stealing an additional $36.6 million as part of an elaborate “fee-for-service” computer scheme dating back to 2010.
… “I am very deeply sorry for my misconduct for a very long time,” said Madan, who earned $176,608-a-year as the Ministry of Education’s information technology leader on the Support for Families program until he was terminated in October 2020.
“I am very, very sorry to the taxpayers of Ontario. I know that nobody trusts me anymore. I am ready to face the consequences of my wrongdoing,” he said, appearing gaunt and sporting rumpled clothing.

The U.S. military has been prodding Ottawa to buy a privately owned hangar adjacent to a NORAD airbase in the Arctic community of Inuvik, after a Chinese buyer expressed interest in taking over the facility.
For nearly a year, Ottawa resisted American pressure over the property, located near a strategic piece of the continent’s air-defence infrastructure that would make a prime target for foreign surveillance. The Canadian government had previously leased the hangar to shelter military aircraft, but argued it no longer had need of it.

Canadian troops in Poland are having to buy their own food but aren’t being reimbursed, causing hardships for their families back home.
The Canadian soldiers are in Poland to train Ukrainian military personnel but since Canada did not send military cooks on the mission, the troops were told to eat at local restaurants.
But there is a massive backlog with the Canadian Forces reimbursing the soldiers for those costs, sending some of them thousands of dollars into debt. Their families contacted this newspaper to complain about the situation they say is causing financial stress at home.
So what’s the issue? Did they have a make-up supply emergency for the tranny Brigade and needed bucks in a hurry? Or did they go native and start embezzling funds from the military? Or did Justin need the money for his 6K a night hotel?
And the CAF wonders at their recruiting shortfalls.

… Somewhere along the bumpy post-Harper road, Poilievre and his Reform-era sidekicks calcified their old-school principles and appear ready to accept a dug-in defeat over a softened-image victory.
Why? It would seem so easy for Poilievre to stick with a few economic policy essentials, advocate for inflation-whacked demographics, harp on Trudeau’s endless stream of missteps and steer clear of flirting with Freedom Convoy alumni, far-right European politicians and controversial commentator Jordan Peterson.
And yet . . . he doesn’t.
Few will change their mind about Justin, he has a stubborn base and a bought media. Poilievre can make some cosmetic changes to his line of attack but the fact remains there is little difference between the LPC and CPC on substantive issues such as mass immigration. I wonder if the ever increasing numbers of non-voters reflects the resigned acceptance of a Canada lost.
Police announced Monday that transgender shooter Audrey Hale had been planning an attack on the Christian elementary school for “months,” according to a press release.
Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) gave an update to the investigation into the mass shooting at Covenant School in a press release, noting that Hale’s manifesto indicated that she had been “planning over a period of months to commit mass murder.” Hale had also been studying the way other “mass murderers” had committed acts of violence and “acted totally alone,” according to police.
But the Trannies are the real victims!
Canadians are split on whether the federal government’s recently-announced probes into allegations of foreign election interference are a sincere effort to get to the truth or an attempt to cover up what is alleged to have happened, a new poll suggests.
The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News and released Tuesday found 52 per cent of those surveyed think the probes, and the appointment of a special rapporteur to oversee them, are genuine. Forty-eight per cent, meanwhile, think “the investigation is a cover-up.”
An on-line poll with an oversized sample of Beijing Fifth Columnists conducted by a Liberal friendly pollster. That’s my story and I’m stickin to it.
Five individuals, who Swedish authorities say have “international ties to violent Islamist extremism,” were arrested on Tuesday, April 4th during anti-terror police raids across the country.
The raids took place in the early morning hours in the towns of Eskiltuna and Strängnäs, west of the capital, and Linköping, south of Stockholm, and followed an extensive intelligence-gathering operation by the Swedish Security Service Säpo, the daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter reports.
Toronto twins’ claim of being Inuit nets thousands in scholarship money from various organizations
An old video from 2012 shows twins Nadya and Amira Gill pushing an industrial-sized tire back and forth between each other in a gym. You can hear their coach encouraging them by name.
This video is among the plethora of articles and social media posts written about the two girls who were active growing up in Toronto and Mississauga.
Now grown, they’re claiming to be Inuit and have received thousands of dollars to help pay for their university degrees.
But according to family and documents reviewed by APTN News, there are questions about who Nadya and Amira claim to be.
Mom is pretty scammy. Charity rip off scammy.
Former President Donald Trump will make his first appearance in a Manhattan courtroom Tuesday afternoon on criminal charges tied to the Stormy Daniels hush-money payment — marking an unprecedent moment in US history.
Trump, 76, will face a historic booking and arraignment after he surrenders to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office downtown in the early afternoon.

Today in Manhattan the resistance will get what it’s been craving for years. Is it worth it?
For seven years, the progressive resistance has fantasized about Donald Trump’s indictment, conviction, and incarceration.
First, there was his alleged collusion with Russia, which dominated the better part of 2017 and 2018, and tapered off in early 2019.
Then, just as Russiagate was winding down, along came all the talk about his obstruction of the investigation into that alleged collusion, followed by his phone call with Ukraine’s president, during which Trump asked Volodymyr Zelensky to announce an investigation into Hunter Biden. This became grist for his first impeachment in late 2019.
Federal governments like scheduling tax increases for April 1 for a couple of reasons. Canadians are typically in good spirits as the end of winter is in sight and folks who qualified for tax refunds are feeling flush. The government also likes to give themselves raises at the beginning of April with the hope taxpayers won’t take notice. This year, the prime minister enjoyed a $10,200 raise while backbench MPs garnered an extra $5,100. Nice work if you can get it.
A burner account, kids, is an anonymous account that a person, often a public figure, uses in order to have the freedom to say things that the public figure in question wouldn’t dare say if they could be attributed to him or her. One of the most notorious burner accounts was Mitt Romney’s Pierre Delecto, which he used to champion the last principled, upright politician in the land, a chap named Mitt Romney.
