The head of Canada’s intelligence agency spoke openly about China’s interest in partnering with Canadian universities to gain a military edge during a conference with his Five Eyes counterparts on Tuesday.
“China has been very transparent,” Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) Director David Vigneault said.
“Everything that they’re doing in our universities and in new technology, it’s going back into a system very organized to create dual-use applications for the military.”
Hamas fighters booby-trapped the body of a Canadian-Israeli mother after murdering her, layering her in bombs to kill anyone who came near her corpse, according to traumatized neighbors.
Adi Vital-Kaploun was killed in front of her two young sons on October 7 when the militants stormed Kibbutz Holit. After shooting her dead, neighbors say the fighters covered her body in bombs beneath one of her son’s beds.
Ex-wife of ISIS fighter convicted in death of James Foley and other hostages says she was ‘oblivious’
A Canadian woman whose marriage to a notorious ISIS fighter is being made public for the first time says she was “oblivious to what was going on” when she lived with him in Syria.
In an interview with CBC and U.K. public broadcaster BBC in Toronto last week, Dure Ahmed, 33, said she was unaware of the atrocities being committed by her then-husband El Shafee Elsheikh, who was part of a cell within ISIS linked to the abduction, torture and beheading of Western hostages.
She’s back in Canada! This is CBC’s way of telegraphing Justin Trudeau’s support for the Muslim vote bloc, the Hamas supporters can count on him to be let off easy.
Ministers were home in their ridings last week, offering thanks over turkey that they are not responsible for the Department of Public Services and Procurement Canada.
Jean-Yves Duclos is the latest unlucky inhabitant of the office that has been held by five of his Liberal colleagues in the past eight years.
New Democrats have resoundingly urged their party to stand firm on negotiating pharmacare, even if it means ending their political agreement with the Liberals.
Party members gave leader Jagmeet Singh and his MPs resounding support to use all the leverage the party has through its confidence-and-supply deal with the Liberals to obtain the party’s vision of pharmacare, even if it means walking away from the agreement and possibly triggering an election.
Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis is spearheading a petition demanding the federal government to exit the United Nations (U.N.) and the World Health Organization (WHO), citing concerns over national sovereignty and personal autonomy.
The petition has garnered over 20,000 signatures from Canadians across the country since it was initiated on Oct. 10.
Children found bound and shot in the head. Young women raped and killed, their bodies driven through the streets of Gaza and spat upon. Rave participants massacred. A grandmother’s murder posted on her own Facebook page. Some of it apparently filmed and broadcast by Hamas, hoping to cow Israelis into submission. That is the very definition of “terrorism.”
Cheezus this could do worthwhile damage to our demented Universities.
Has a nice ring to it.
Is this photoshopped?
If not, she’s done.

Why Canada is becoming the focus of India’s concerns about the Sikh separatist movement
After Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s unprecedented and explosive allegation that the Indian government had a hand in the June killing of Canadian Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Canada found itself at the centre of a geopolitical rift that has affected other international players with ties to India.
India has denied Trudeau’s allegations and since branded Canada a “safe haven for terrorists, extremists” and “anti-India activities.” It also accused Nijjar, who actively supported the push for an independent Sikh state in the Punjab region of India called Khalistan, of leading a militant separatist group. His supporters reject this claim.
My theory: Trudeau’s faith in identity politics means the LPC deliberately offers safe haven to terrorists to secure the votes of a given etnic vote bloc.
Canada’s rental crisis is getting worse, according to a new report that found the average asking price for rent in September was $2,149 — up by more than 11 per cent compared to a year ago.
That’s according a data analysis of tens of thousands of new rental listings across the country from Rentals.ca and real estate consulting and research firm Urbanation.
And according to the September report, average rents aren’t just headed up — they’re increasing at their fastest pace this year.
A former member of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has revealed his story of the abuse and coercion he faced from the chain of command when he declined the COVID-19 jab.
Serge Faucher of Greely, Ontario, served the CAF honorably for over 39 years. He reached the rank of Major and was an Aerospace Engineering Officer posted to the Chief of Air Force Staff.
HAMILTON – New Democrats attending the party’s policy convention are split over the deal their party has struck with the Liberals, as senior leadership focuses on pitching the NDP as the change voters are looking for in the next federal election.
“NDP Leader Jagmeet (Singh) is doing all the work of kicking (Prime Minister Justin) Trudeau’s butt to get him to keep his election promises and Trudeau is getting all the credit,” said Alanna Johnston, a delegate from Toronto.
“This isn’t politics. This is garbage. This is some kind of business agreement.”
I don’t believe a word of this. Jagmeet wants his pension.
Much of the Liberal platform in 2015 was driven by a George Costanza-type desire to “do the opposite” — in this case, the contrary of whatever position Stephen Harper’s Conservative government took.
On environmental regulation, the Trudeau Liberals were itching to repeal the 2012 Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, which resulted in far fewer project reviews than had taken place under the previous regime (although many more were killed later in the process by the courts).
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has warned Inuit leaders that foreign adversaries could gain a foothold in Canada by offering to fill infrastructure gaps in the North.
But Natan Obed, president of the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) — the nonprofit organization that represents more than 65,000 Inuit across Inuit Nunangat and the rest of Canada — said the spy agency’s inability to share classified intelligence with the region’s decision-makers leaves them in the dark about the risks.
HAMILTON – United States Sen. Bernie Sanders is throwing his support behind Canada’s New Democrats in a pre-recorded video the party aims to play at its policy convention on Friday.
The three-day convention opens in Hamilton, Ont. Friday bringing NDP members from across the country together in person for the first time in more than three years. Their last party gathering in 2021 was held virtually in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.
