Accused in Wedding case linked to Project South police-corruption investigation

A central figure accused in the Project South police corruption probe has been linked in court documents to an alleged accomplice of cocaine kingpin Ryan Wedding, connecting for the first time the two sprawling investigations into organized crime in Canada.

Brian Da Costa, an alleged drug trafficker accused of bribing Toronto police officers and leaking computer data later used in organized crime intimidation campaigns, has been ordered not to contact Gurpreet Singh − a Toronto-area man who allegedly conspired to transport hundreds of kilograms of cocaine into Canada for the Wedding network.

Canada’s top crying general weighing military options to support Gulf states in Iran conflict – DEI expected to play key role

CAF – Little Green Army Men. Some In Bright Summer Dresses.

OTTAWA — Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff General Jennie Carignan said she will be meeting with her European counterparts on Friday morning to discuss military options to support Gulf states. But Carignan ruled out any Canadian military involvement in Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.

“We are not talking about participating to Epic Fury, per se, this is not the mission that we are considering,” she told reporters on the sidelines of the the Ottawa Conference on Security and Defence on Thursday.

What military options? It’s doubtful the CAF could put down a sewing circle at this point.

How Canada Birthed a Sinaloa Cartel Boss: A Veteran Mountie With 50 Years of Experience Explains the Unthinkable Rise of Ryan Wedding

OTTAWA — In this episode, former senior Mountie Garry Clement joins Sam Cooper to answer a question that should unsettle every Canadian: how does a figure like Ryan Wedding — an Olympic athlete from Coquitlam — end up becoming one of the most feared Sinaloa Cartel operatives in North America? The answer, Clement argues, has less to do with Wedding himself than with the country that made his rise possible.

Canada has nothing to gain from supporting the war in Iran – but much to lose

Canada’s Ratso Rizzo Foreign Policy

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to back American strikes against Iran has provoked much controversy. Even though he and several of his ministers partially walked back some of this initial enthusiastic support, the debate still raises difficult questions about what Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand refers to as principled pragmatism. Is Canada moving away from its allegedly traditional support for international law? How can Canada’s rhetorical support for the war in Iran, even if watered down, be reconciled with the principles Mr. Carney enounced in his speech in Davos in January? And how can these principles be reconciled with Mr. Carney declining to close the door on Canada’s eventual participation in the war?

There are lessons for Poilievre and Carney in U.K. byelection

Pierre Poilievre, leader of His Majesty’s loyal opposition, is visiting the King’s home turf this week, where he gave a keynote speech at Margaret Thatcher’s think tank of choice. The visit comes at a good time for Poilievre to open his ears as well as his mouth.

For the United Kingdom is deep into a period of political turmoil, one that is seeing the fragmentation of the country’s vote, with the mainstream and historically dominant Conservative and Labour parties ceding ground to insurgents from either extreme.

Terry Newman: Are Iranian agents targeting Canadian Jews and anti-regime activists with bullets?

There appears to be a dark storm gathering over not only Jewish communities in Canada, but Iranian-Canadians who oppose the Islamic regime.

Late Monday night, gunfire struck the Temple Emanu‑El synagogue in Toronto, leaving several bullet holes in its windows. This followed a shooting on Sunday morning, in which multiple rounds were fired into an undisclosed business in Markham, Ont., just north of Toronto. Police have advised the community that they are aware of concerns that these violent incidents may be linked to what’s happening in the Middle East.

CHARLEBOIS: Why the Iran conflict could hit Canadian grocery bills

U.S. President Donald Trump seems to prefer launching major geopolitical moves when markets are closed – for a simple reason: markets react.

The United States abducted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on Jan. 3 – a Saturday. The joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran began Feb. 28 – also a Saturday. It gave markets time to digest the shock. But markets eventually reopen.

Christians barred from living over being alive!

What we’ve lost: Stigma

It turns out that population-wide disdain for those who live to get high was a very good thing

Progressives were so preoccupied with eradicating stigmas that contain anti-social behaviour in Canadian society, they didn’t stop to think if they should. Well, they accomplished their goal: that natural containment field of shame that once stood between people and bad decisions is gone. Is your life better because of it? Probably not.

Carney should call for extradition of Indian officials linked to Nijjar killing, says ex-Liberal minister Dhaliwal

A former Liberal cabinet minister and prominent Sikh-Canadian is calling for Prime Minister Mark Carney to urge for the extradition of Indian officials in relation to the 2023 killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

In an interview with The Hill Times, Herb Dhaliwal said he hopes the first item on Carney’s (Nepean, Ont.) agenda in India is “the full co-operation of the Indian government in the murder of a Canadian where Indian officials were involved,” as well as the discussion of extradition of Indian officials.

Instead we we get this crap …

Pierre Poilievre proposes new anglophone alliance that excludes Donald Trump’s America

OTTAWA—Canada should align its trade and labour regulations with three of its “like-minded” anglophone allies in a partnership that would exclude the U.S., says Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

Speaking in London at the Institute of Directors, a British business group, Poilievre on Tuesday revived an idea previously embraced by past Conservative leaders that Canada should strengthen its ties with its anglosphere cousins that share the British Westminster parliamentary system.

Not a nation among the lot that is a ‘powerhouse’.

RETURN TO SENDER — 60 million more Indian immigrants? India’s dream is Canada’s nightmare

No, Canada will not take 60 million more Indians. Let’s send the 2.8 million we have back to India.

If you needed proof that the federal Liberals have completely lost the plot on immigration, look no further than the statements coming from India’s High Commissioner to Canada, Dinesh K. Patnaik.

In a recent interview with CBC News, Patnaik suggested that because of our “complementary economies,” Canada should be eager to welcome an additional 60 million Indians.

Let that number sink in for a moment. Sixty million.
