The Road From Vancouver To The World’s Largest Fentanyl Superlab

A truck fire near Merritt. Seventeen tonnes of chemicals in a Maple Ridge mansion. The first Canadian document to name the Chinese syndicate supplying BC’s superlabs — and American streets.

VANCOUVER — In November 2023, a 26-foot rental truck caught fire on Highway 97C in British Columbia’s remote Nicola Valley, roughly midway between Merritt and West Kelowna. The truck was carrying a large cargo of hazardous chemicals — ethanol, formamide, lead acetate, mercuric acetate — which ignited, sending towers of black smoke over a stretch of open grassland and folded blue hills, on a road that runs northeast to Falkland.

RentAHuman: are we really descending into AI dystopia?

Here is how it works. A human sets up an AI agent (ie, an autonomous chatbot), funds it with a cryptocurrency wallet and gives it a goal. Manage my social media. Research this market. Grow my business. The agent runs unsupervised, deciding for itself what steps to take and how to spend the budget. But sooner or later it hits a wall. It needs someone to collect a parcel, attend a meeting, take a photograph – something that requires a body. So it goes to RentAHuman.ai, a website that launched earlier this month. The AI browses a catalogue of available humans, picks one, and pays them in cryptocurrency. The human who funded the agent never speaks to the human who carries out the task. The machine is the employer. It feels scary.

Look how much Canadians hate the United States now

OTTAWA — It’s the world’s most awkward breakup.

More than a year after U.S. President Donald Trump casually joked about absorbing Canada and repeatedly threatened debilitating tariffs on its goods, many Canadians are convinced their former pals to the south have lost the plot.

New results from The POLITICO Poll suggest a lasting chill has settled over the world’s former bosom buddies. Americans are rosy as ever about their northern neighbors, but Canadians don’t share the love.

Their message to America: It’s not us, it’s you.

Church lefties play the race card in £100m slavery reparation battle

AS THE row over the Church of England’s push to pay out £100million in slavery reparations flared up at last week’s General Synod, leftist members tried to suppress dissent by branding opponents a risk to the wellbeing of black people.

The Church Commissioners, the body which manages the C of E’s £11billion investments, is having to set up a separate charity for the reparations scheme, named Project Spire, and then get permission from the Charity Commission to pay in the £100million for disbursal to beneficiaries in the Caribbean.

How Canada became poorer than Alabama

Huntsville Alabama

In December, Tommy Battle’s dream came true. The five-term Mayor of Huntsville is Alabama to the bone, born in Birmingham and a graduate of the state university in Tuscaloosa, but for the past

18 years he’s tried to distance his city from the state’s unsavoury stereotypes.
Huntsville, in the north, is the home of the Saturn rocket program that took on the Soviet Union’s Sputnik. It houses the second-largest biotech research hub in the United States. And it has attracted high-end manufacturing investments such as Blue Origin’s rocket engine plant.

But Alabama tropes are hard to shake: The state is backward and full of bible thumpers and bigots – allegedly. When local companies try to hire from afar, Mayor Battle says recruits often hear the same responses when telling their spouses: “‘Huntsville?’ With one question mark. Then they say, ‘Alabama???’ With three question marks.”

Huntsville is now considered “UFO” central with start ups some suspect may be linked to alien tech.

Rotherham ‘monster’ who raped 13-year-old schoolgirl and woman in her 20s is jailed

Riyasth Hussain Rapist

A ‘monster’ who raped a 13-year-old girl ‘passed on from one man to another’ in Rotherham has been jailed for 20 years.

Father-of-three Riyasth Hussain, 45, raped the girl, who had been abused since the age of 11, between 2004 and 2008.

Now in her 30s, the woman told Hussain from the witness box at Sheffield Crown Court: ‘You didn’t just steal my childhood, you stole the rest of my life.’

What Does Alberta Want? And How Soon Does The Province Want It?

It’s becoming clear that large parts of the Laurentian Elite have suddenly become nervous about the implications of Alberta’s unrest. After decades of turning a deaf ear to low rumblings of discontent, from somewhere beyond the Lakehead, the Andrew Coyne Brigade is in full force waving their law books, warning about why Alberta independence is against the natural law, God’s plan and more. @acoyne Smith has no mandate to hold a referendum… Among many, many other objections.

Disclosure Is Not Going To Be Fun & Games

At last, we’re (probably) going to get disclosure:

Gosh. As Ross Douthat points out, we had better watch closely to see if the Department of Energy is on Trump’s list of “relevant agencies.” The DOE is where a lot of the UAP stuff has been handled.

If you haven’t already, read Diana Pasulka’s American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology, which was foundational for me in getting me to take all this seriously, for once. I just read an advance copy of her forthcoming book (July 28), The Others, and I think it’s her most important one yet. It’s only secondarily about UAPs, but is is about non-human intelligence and the future of humanity. In my view, it is not a happy story, but one that calls for people to develop their powers of discernment.

Just how bad are Nato’s armies?

Dad’s Army – and Canada’s

Given the relative sizes of their economies, one might conclude that Russia would quake before the military might of Europe’s Nato members. Russia, the ninth-largest economy in the world, is up against the third, sixth, seventh and eighth in the shape of Germany, Britain, France and Italy.

Yet the reality is that, militarily, it is the other way around. Russia has the world’s second-strongest military, while France comes sixth, UK eighth, Italy tenth and Germany 12th. To put a few figures on it, Russia has 1.32 million active service personnel, 560 fighter aircraft and 3,941 tanks ready for deployment. For Britain, the corresponding figures are 141,000, 67 and 187; for France 264,000, 178 and 342; and Italy 165,000, 62 and 142.

As for Canada, it ranks a lowly 28th, despite being a G7 nation with the world’s tenth-largest economy. It has 63,000 troops, 50 fighter aircraft and 56 tanks – all to defend a landmass that is larger than that of the US. Looked at from a military perspective, it is not hard to see why Donald Trump is considering incorporating Canada into the US. After all, Canada’s vast Arctic frontier is virtually a demilitarised zone.

Does striking down Trump’s ‘emergency’ tariffs make it better or worse for Canada?

The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld lower-court rulings on President Donald Trump’s use of the International Emergency Powers Act, confirming that Mr. Trump’s usage of such powers to impose tariffs at will is unconstitutional and must end.

Canada’s long nightmare over U.S. tariffs is poised to change. But whether that is for better or worse depends on who within Canada we are talking about – which industry and, by extension, which province.

The Beauty of Anti-Fascists Recognizing Fascists in the Mirror

The left’s inability to discern truth from fantasy culminates in unintentional performance art in Germany.

Some people fail to see their own irony.

A few of them attended the premiere of Catarina and the Beauty of Killing Fascists in Bochum, Germany, last Saturday.

The play’s theme centers around a Portuguese family’s ritualistic annual murder of a fascist. If the spectre of fascism really hung over the West, then certainly one would expect the audience disruption — in Germany, no less — to come from neo-Brown Shirts. These creatures, however, more densely populate the imaginations of those behind Catarina and the Beauty of Killing Fascists than they do our actual world.

Poll finds 80% back fast-tracking deportations in extortion cases as Liberal Party Voter Import Program continues to draw negative attention

The sheer amount of extortion attempts and extortion-related shootings in British Columbia has commanded national and international attention. It is not surprising to see more than half of British Columbians (56 per cent) saying they have followed news related to this situation “very closely” or “moderately closely” over the past month.

At this moment, respondents of South Asian descent are more likely to be captivated by this story (67 per cent) than their counterparts whose heritage is Indigenous (59 per cent), European (56 per cent) or East Asian (55 per cent).
