More Violence In Ceuta: Clashes With Residents, Ambush On Soldiers

Ceuta has endured another night of violence, but this time the crisis has crossed a new threshold.

Tensions that have been building for almost a month have now resulted in physical clashes between groups of residents and invaders camped on the beaches and, hours later, in an attack on soldiers deployed to monitor the city.

Russian Sanctions Are Fueling a Canadian Car Theft Epidemic

Russian Sanctions Are Fueling a Canadian Car Theft Epidemic

A years long car theft epidemic in Canada has gotten so bad that, despite a police crackdown, thieves break into homes just to steal car keys. Thousands of cars vanish each year.

The phenomenon, records and interviews show, is driven in part by an unexpected source: a booming black market for Western vehicles in wartime Russia.

While Western export bans have severed Russia from much of the auto market, they have not tempered the demand for brand-name SUVs and trucks. That has given rise to a sophisticated network of criminals that steals cars, hides them in shipping containers and sends them to Russia, often by way of the Middle East.

Victor Davis Hanson: We Need to Stop Letting in Ungrateful Immigrants

All Americans support legal immigration, especially legal immigration that is diverse, as I said, measured in numbers that can be assimilated and acculturated and integrated, meritocratic, so we get people who come here with skills that ensure that we, the people of the United States, will not have to support them, and they have some knowledge of the traditions and customs and protocol of the United States, as well as English fluency.

C.I.A. Chief Delivered Bleak Assessment of Russia’s War in Secretive Moscow Visit

C.I.A. Chief Delivered Bleak Assessment of Russia’s War in Secretive Moscow Visit

John Ratcliffe, the C.I.A. director, made a secretive visit to Moscow this week to privately share his bleak assessment of the state of the Russian war against Ukraine, and to urge the Russians to cut a deal before their military and economic situation gets worse, current and former officials said.

Mr. Ratcliffe delivered the message to Aleksandr V. Bortnikov, the head of Russia’s F.S.B. intelligence service, and made no threats about potential consequences for the Russian side should President Vladimir V. Putin ignore the C.I.A. director’s assessment and choose to continue fighting.

CBC not sure Canadians should be allowed to see the rejected U.S. trade deal – will consult with Imam for direction

CBC not sure Canadians should be allowed to see the rejected U.S. trade deal – will consult with Imam for direction

Conservatives want the Liberals to release the rejected U.S. trade deal. Should they?

Conservatives are calling on the Liberals to release the text of the U.S. tariff agreement that the federal government ultimately rejected last week. While one expert argues there is some merit to showing that level of transparency for the sake of national unity, others suggest it would ultimately hurt Canada’s negotiation position.

U.S. President Donald Trump slapped 50 per cent tariffs on hundreds of Canadian imports over the weekend after negotiators failed to secure some form of trade agreement — even though there were indications that progress was being made.

Just When You Thought Girl Scouts Couldn’t Get Worse, the Muslims Take Over

Just When You Thought Girl Scouts Couldn’t Get Worse, the Muslims Take Over

Long before the Boy Scouts decided that our young men couldn’t possibly go camping in the woods without girls in tow, its female counterpart had gone woke.

Sure, you can still get those addictive cookies from little girls in cheap vests decorated with embroidered patches manning folding tables outside the grocery store. But if you enroll your own daughter among their ranks, she might come home repeating some blue-haired sermon about diversity, equity, and inclusion. Worse, she might even have to share bathrooms, dressing rooms, and lodging with her confused peers of the opposite sex.


Remigration.

Conflict screen excludes Carpetbagger Carney from eight more government decisions

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney has been sidelined on eight more government decisions because of potential conflicts with his prior businesses, a new report says, including on help for Canada’s airlines and a loan to a Baffin Island mine.

The Privy Council Office, the government department that directly supports the prime minister, reports to the House of Commons Ethics committee every three months about how his ethics screen has been used.

Its latest report, which was sent in a letter dated Aug. 14, revealed Carney has also been kept out of the loop on matters involving housing and the government’s nuclear strategy.


Carney is in it for Carney.

Would U.S. tariffs actually change after Trump, or is this the new normal?

Would U.S. tariffs actually change after Trump, or is this the new normal?

As new U.S. tariffs sink into the Canadian economy, the idea of a prolonged trade war is something Canadians will need to get used to — even after President Donald Trump leaves office, experts say.

“I don’t see this changing any time soon. I don’t think this goes away magically when Trump exits the White House, and so for Canada, it’s wishful thinking to think we can hold our breaths and white-knuckle it for the next 24 or 26 months,” says political science associate professor Aaron Ettinger of Carleton University.
