MONTREAL — A 17-year-old boy who allegedly intended to carry out an attack on behalf of the Islamic State is facing a new charge of assaulting a peace officer.
Federal prosecutor Marc Cigana told reporters at Montreal’s youth court that the alleged assault occurred at RCMP headquarters in Westmount, Que., after the teen was arrested on Aug. 20.
… As reported previously by The Bureau in coverage of a sweeping FinTRAC warning on Chinese underground banking in Toronto, FinCEN is now raising similar alarms. The Treasury said so-called “money mules” often rely on falsified jobs and identities to gain access to the banking system, disguise unexplained wealth, and buy residential properties. In cases where these mules opened accounts, they frequently listed occupations such as “student,” “housewife,” “retired,” or “laborer” — roles that would not normally involve large volumes of financial activity — yet the accounts showed high-value deposits and transactions consistent with laundering.
The collapse of Yugoslavia in the 1990s is often remembered as one of the great geopolitical disintegrations of the late 20th century—an empire of six republics and two autonomous regions that broke apart under the weight of debt, corruption, and suppressed ethnic rivalries.
Yugoslavia appeared stable to the outside world right up until it wasn’t. The country was hailed as a model of socialist prosperity, with free healthcare, jobs for all, and a booming economy. Yet beneath the surface, its foundation rested on unsustainable borrowing. When the debt ran out, the federation quickly splintered into its national parts—Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia. What once seemed impossible became inevitable.
Beijing’s escalation of tariffs on Canadian agricultural products has prompted prominent voices such as Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe to push Ottawa to drop its tariffs on Chinese EVs.
The argument is that Ottawa’s tariffs primarily benefit the central Canada-based EV sector, while Western farmers bear the cost of China’s retaliation, including its recent 75.8 percent tariffs on Canadian canola. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has noted that China understands “divisions” in Canada and that it uses targeted tariffs to divide the country to Beijing’s advantage.
If all of the people waiting for their asylum claim to be heard right now were gathered in one place, they would form a city bigger than Kitchener, Regina or Burnaby. It’s just another example of the mess the Liberals have created with our once well-functioning and well-respected immigration and refugee system.
There’s nothing broken about it.
The LPC and their cronies see it as just another stream in their mass immigration scam.
The de minimis exemption that allowed low-value packages to be shipped duty-free to the United States is now a thing of the past as an executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump went into effect Friday.
Under an executive order signed by Trump in July, packages valued at or under US$800 sent to the U.S. from outside of its postal network will now face “all applicable duties” starting Aug. 29, the White House said.
Quebec is once again pushing the boundaries of the debate over religion in the public square. The Legault government is introducing legislation to ban “street prayers” — a move that, depending on your view, is either overdue or overreach.
This isn’t an abstract issue. For months, Muslim Montrealers have gathered outside the Notre Dame Basilica in Old Montreal to take part in prayers. On the other side of the cobblestone streets, non-Muslims have begun gathering in protest, waving Quebec’s fleur-de-lis flag, arguing that faith belongs behind closed doors. Each time the gatherings grew larger, more confrontational, and more symbolic of a clash between identity and expression.
This cult has to be curbed.
Titles like The Handmaid’s Tale, Brave New World, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Perks of Being a Wallflower are to be pulled from library shelves at Edmonton public schools come fall, according to a document shared with CBC News.
An internally distributed list obtained by CBC News shows more than 200 books deemed sexually explicit are slated for removal from library shelves for students in kindergarten to Grade 12. It comes after a policy from Alberta’s education minister outlines new rules governing books in school libraries as of Oct. 1.
I do not approve of removing Atwood’s screed, but for a minute it felt good to imagine a world absent those feminist Handmaid’s idiots.
Funny that these berobed twits tolerate Islam imposing the niqab on women.
Spirits maker Diageo will cease operations at its bottling facility in Amherstburg, Ont., early next year, as it shifts some bottling volume to the U.S., the company announced on Thursday.
The facility, which bottles Crown Royal products, will close in February in a move aimed at improving its North American supply chain.

American journalist James O’Keefe travelled to Nova Scotia to attempt to receive a fine for defying the province’s ban on hiking in the woods, but was ultimately not charged.
TORONTO—The Carney government has big plans for a new and, it says, a more prosperous Canadian economy—but much of what it hopes to accomplish will take years before we see a material difference. In the meantime, support for big change may whither unless immediate threats are not addressed.
Two big challenges require careful monitoring. One is the rise of unemployment and the fall in opportunities for younger Canadians. The other is the huge volume of household mortgages that must be renewed this year or next, with higher interest rates and hence higher repayment levels, and at a time when the economy faces the prospect of higher unemployment and weaker wage gains to offset higher mortgage payments. Young home-owners who were first-time buyers at the height of the real estate bubble when mortgage rates were especially low are also especially vulnerable.
Carney won’t do squat. Mass immigration will leave us all impoverished and that’s what he and his cronies want – easy pickings.
Amid growing criticisms that Canada dropped the ball on exporting its natural gas to Europe, the Polish ambassador to Canada said in a recent interview that plenty of Canadian gas is indeed finding its way to Europe — but via the United States at a markup.
“Remember; some of the LNG that’s coming from the United States to Europe, to Poland, is also Canadian … but it’s being sold for a much higher price,” Witold Dzielski told CBC after being asked whether there was Polish demand for Canadian LNG.
When two months of no rain had reduced Nova Scotia to a “tinder box” as Premier Tim Houston put it, he ordered people to stay out of the woods.
Many people accepted the measure, which came into effect in the first week of August, as a necessary way to reduce the risk of a stray spark igniting a blaze that wouldn’t be controlled. Others were furious.
“People are effectively prohibited from entering nature for the rest of the summer,” read one angry post on Facebook that has been interacted with hundreds of times. But the poster, who has tens of thousands of followers, didn’t seem to be in any danger of going anywhere near a Nova Scotian forest, permitted or no.
The corrupt Liberal Party lies about everything and their abuse of the Covid ‘crisis’ kiboshed all faith in government. Don’t blame citizens.
A Canadian man has pleaded guilty to illegally photographing classified U.S. defence facilities at the Space Force military base in Cape Canaveral, Fla.
Xiao Guang Pan, 71, of Brampton, Ont., pleaded guilty to three counts of unlawful photographing of military installations without authorization on three separate days in early January.
