Ukraine war: US estimates 200,000 military casualties on all sides

The most senior US general estimates that around 100,000 Russian and 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed or injured in the war in Ukraine.

Gen Mark Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, also suggested that around 40,000 civilians had died after being caught up in the conflict.

The estimates are the highest offered yet by a Western official.

He also said that signs Kyiv was willing to re-enter talks with Moscow offered “a window” for negotiations.

Trudeau ‘has failed to protect our democracy’ from China’s threats, says Poilievre

Reacting to claims that China interfered in the 2019 federal election, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has failed to protect Canada’s democracy and Conservative MPs are pushing for a parliamentary committee investigation.

Poilievre made the remarks in Vancouver while Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly was giving a speech in Toronto about the release of the Liberal government’s forthcoming Indo-Pacific strategy.

“It’s very troubling that the prime minister has known about allegations about foreign interference in Canadian elections since last January and he hasn’t taken any action,” Poilievre said.

Poilievre says inquiry has not changed his support for ‘peaceful and law-abiding’ Freedom Convoy protesters

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said the ongoing public inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act has not withered his support for the “peaceful and law-abiding protesters.”

Poilievre made the comments Wednesday during a rare media availability in a supermarket in Vancouver, B.C., where he was asked about a range of subjects from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s Sovereignty Act to the testimony heard at the inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act to shut down the Freedom Convoy last winter.

Freeland Lies and Lies and Lies

Emergencies Act should be ‘once-in-a-generation’ kind of tool: Freeland

Canada’s invocation of the Emergencies Act should be a “once-in-a-generation” move, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters on Wednesday.

… “What Canada faced at just the beginning of this year, actually, was a very serious challenge and threat to our national security and our economic security,” Freeland said.

What horseshit. The Convoy was never a “National Security Threat” and the border blockades had a marginal effect on commerce.

Todays Tip: It pays to hire the Indigenous for your protest movement

Legal Memo Advised Ottawa Police to Be Aware of Indigenous Protesters During Convoy

They warned that the protest “raises issues related to freedom of expression and lawful assembly, and therefore may have Charter implications.”

“In addition,” stated the memo, “there may be demonstrators who are Indigenous, there may be heightened concerns surrounding any active enforcement measures and recognizing the uniqueness of Indigenous occupations.”

Just make sure no one is a Christian.

Canadian Navy to Mandate COVID-19 Boosters for Sailors, Leaked Memo Shows

The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) has mandated that all sailors stationed at sea must receive up-to-date COVID-19 vaccinations, which includes at least one booster shot “within the last six months.”

“My direction remains that only sailors with up to date vaccinations, defined as the primary vaccination series plus either a booster within the last 6 months or a confirmed recovery from a COVID-19 infection within the last 6 months, be employed or undergo training as a member of crew aboard HMC ships and submarines,” wrote RCN Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee in a Nov. 4 unclassified memo obtained by The Epoch Times.

China ‘increasingly disruptive global power’, says Canadian foreign minister … The free world sleeps better knowing Joly stands ready to do violence on their behalf

 

“China is an increasingly disruptive, global power,” Joly told a Toronto audience. “It seeks to shape the global environment into one that is more permissive for interests and values that increasingly depart from ours.

Actually China’s values are much admired by PM Arsehole and he loves the money they dump in his foundation, not to mention their very “Liberal” campaign donations.

France to require all large car parks to be covered by solar panels

All large car parks in France will be covered by solar panels under new legislation approved as part of president Emmanuel Macron’s renewable energy drive.

Legislation approved by the French Senate this week requires existing and new car parks with space for at least 80 vehicles to be covered by solar panels.

The owners of car parks with between 80 and 400 spaces have five years to comply with the measures, while operators of those with more than 400 will have just three years. At least half of the area of the larger sites must be covered by solar panels.

The Uighur ‘influencers’ working for Beijing’s propaganda machine

If you watched some of the videos on YouTube featuring young Uighur influencers, then you would have no idea that a growing number of human rights organisations and the United Nations have documented China’s severe repression of this Muslim ethnic minority. In a study published mid-October, an Australian research centre has dissected more than 1,700 videos to show how they are in fact part of the complex Chinese propaganda network under President Xi Jinping.
