… We’ve seen police officers dress up as protesters before but military troops potentially dressing up police officers is something new on Canada’s political and law enforcement landscapes. Yet, despite the Canadian government’s insistence the military would not be deployed to help end last winter’s Freedom Convoy protest blocking streets below Parliament Hill, sneaking the military into the middle of the protest disguised as police was discussed.
An anti-woke chief constable who promoted a “back to basics” strategy has lifted Greater Manchester Police (GMP) out of special measures in less than 18 months.
Under Stephen Watson’s leadership 999 call answer times have been cut from an average of one minute 22 seconds to seven seconds, response times have been reduced and arrests have increased by 60 per cent. He has also ordered officers to improve their public image by ironing uniforms, polishing boots, shaving and tying up long hair.
It feels like I’m watching a scene from a James Bond film.
Somewhere near Moscow, Russia’s president is up on stage being quizzed about the Apocalypse. The moderator reminds Putin he had once predicted that, after a nuclear war, Russians would go to heaven.
“We’re in no rush to get there, are we?” the moderator enquires hopefully.
There’s a long, uncomfortable pause. Seven seconds of silence.
“Your silence is worrying me,” the moderator says.
“It was meant to,” replies Putin with a chuckle.

Fifteen time zones away, an Air China Boeing 777 stood ready at Vancouver International Airport. Armed officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police kept watch in the terminal. A Chinese executive in Manolo Blahnik heels strode past them, carrying a bag with a Carolina Herrera dress shaded the same vibrant red as China’s flag and trailed by an entourage of lawyers, aides and diplomats who called her Madam Meng. She, too, was headed home.
A new political ad blasting President Biden over issues like illegal immigration and the state of the economy aired Friday during Game 1 of the World Series.

Among the most urgent questions facing Twitter in its new era as a private company under Elon Musk, a self-declared “free speech absolutist”, is how the platform will handle moderation.
After finalizing his takeover and ousting senior leadership, Musk declared on Friday that he would be forming a new “content moderation council” that would bring together “diverse views” on the issue.
“No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before the council convenes,” he tweeted.
Watch what he does not what he says. He is probably not the hero we hoped for.
OTTAWA — MPs and advocates are calling on the federal government to resettle in Canada 10,000 Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims who have fled China.
But experts warn that could create diplomatic challenges for Canada, as Beijing puts political and economic pressure on Chinese investment in the countries where Uyghurs have been forced to flee.
Sameer Zuberi, a Liberal MP and chair of Parliament’s foreign affairs subcommittee on international human rights, called last Tuesday for debate on motion M62, introduced in February 2021, which proposes recognizing China’s treatment of the Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims as genocide. The proposal also called on Canada to offer 10,000 Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims refugee status starting in 2024, based on the risk that the host countries could detain and deport them to China.
No. Canada is full.
We don’t need to import any more foreign race wars.
Diwali riots and Khalistan rallies anyone? Al Quds Day? Chinese police stations in Canadian cities? More Laith Maroufs on the public payroll? How about welcoming home a few more psychopathic ISIS brides?
Muslim nations need to step up for the Uyghurs.
Canadian citizens cannot continue to be used as the world’s doormat.
The Justin Trudeau government in Canada is facing an unenviable situation as the Sikhs For Justice, an outfit that is banned in India, have announced to take out a car and truck rally on October 29 to motivate people to participate in the second leg of the so-called Khalistan Referendum 2020, slated for November 6 in Mississauga city. The voting for the so-called referendum’s first leg was held on September 18.
Looks like identity politics is really paying off for Junior.
Justin gets a deserved going over in the India press, pity the majority of our own media still kiss his ass.
“Based on the ratifications of relevant authorities, within the framework of related laws and sanctions mechanisms and as a reciprocal action, the Islamic Republic of Iran will soon place sanctions on American and Canadian individuals and institutions for their intentional measures to support terrorism and terror groups and to fuel and provoke terrorism, violence and hate-mongering, which have led to riots, violence, terror acts and violations of the Iranian nation’s rights,” he said in response to a question by reporters about the Ministry’s planned measures in retaliation for the recent sanctions by the US and Canada.
Following the recent riots in Iran, the United States and Canada, while issuing interventionist statements, imposed sanctions on Iranian individuals and institutions on several occasions.
‘Truly disheartened’: First Nations say failed Olympic bid is a step back for reconciliation
First Nations say the decision by the B.C. government to not support an Indigenous-led bid for the 2030 Olympic and Paralympic Games is a step back for reconciliation.
This would have been the first Olympic bid led by an Indigenous group but the province said it could not support it.
They host the Olympics but we pay for it? That’s not “reconciliation” that’s a scam.
More Americans are reporting a crime increase in their neighborhoods than at any point since 1972, when Gallup first polled the issue.
