Why Canada is preparing for a (long shot) US invasion

Prime Minister Mark Carney admitted last week that he has prepared for a once-unthinkable scenario – a US invasion.

Noting the risk was low and the likelihood highly improbable, he told the New York Times he had a responsibility to consider all possibilities as the US-Canada relationship is redefined under the Donald Trump presidency.

“That’s just risk management,” Carney said.

Sooke brewery owner terminated after ‘Show Me the Evidence’ shirt sparks backlash on Truth and Reconciliation Day

A Sooke brewery has closed temporarily and fired one of its owners after a photograph appearing to show him wearing a “Show Me the Evidence” T-shirt on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation sparked widespread backlash online.

Liberals Hold 12-Point Lead as Carney Reaches New High and Optimism About Canada Rises Again

Our latest national tracking survey was conducted from September 18 to 23, following one of the busiest and most consequential stretches of federal politics in some time.

Since our previous survey left the field on September 9, Prime Minister Mark Carney met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Calgary, where the two countries signed a 100-year partnership declaration focused on defence, security, trade, reconstruction and technology. Carney then convened his cabinet in Banff for a two-day planning retreat focused on the fall agenda, the economy and the intensifying trade dispute with the United States.


I think a lot of delusional Elbow types imagine they’ll be working from their Tuscan villa this time next year.

US strikes on alleged drug boats could be crimes against humanity, says UN

US strikes on alleged drug boats could be crimes against humanity, says UN

A UN report has concluded that recent US airstrikes on vessels allegedly trafficking drugs breached international law and could constitute crimes against humanity.

The report by Special Rapporteur Ben Saul said since September last year there had been at least 68 US strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific, outside US territorial waters, which killed more than 220 people.

Saul said that even if targets could be identified as members of designated terrorist groups, they had not staged an armed attack on the US which would trigger a right to self-defence under international law.

Who cares what the UN says?

How Sweden is turning back the clock on years of mass migration

Before Hassan* arrived in Sweden, he didn’t know anything about the country.

At first, things went relatively well for the Syrian refugee, who moved his family to an apartment in the Skåne region, near Malmö.

Hassan found a job in a factory, while his wife returned to her studies and their four children joined a Swedish school, learning the language and making friends.

Poor Hassan!

Olivia Chow says city facing ‘moment of emboldened antisemitism’ as police details plans for Jewish holidays

Mayor Olivia Chow also spoke at Tuesday’s news conference and addressed what she said has been a “despicable” rise in antisemitism in Toronto.

“Jewish Torontonians should not need police presence to go to a synagogue or a community centre, or simply to live proudly Jewish in our city but they do. In this moment of emboldened antisemitism, Jews, Jewish institutions and even Jewish neighbourhoods are being targeted,” she said.

What a despicable bitch.

Trump’s Bombardier threat sparks Republican revolt in Kansas as 1,200 jobs hang in the balance

Trump’s Bombardier threat sparks Republican revolt in Kansas as 1,200 jobs hang in the balance

Donald Trump’s threat to ban Bombardier aircraft sales unless the Canadian company builds them in the U.S. is sparking resistance from politicians, including members within his own party.

As Canada’s $27.6-billion counter-tariffs take effect Tuesday, a Truth Social post from Trump sent shock waves through Bombardier’s U.S. workforce — particularly in Wichita, Kan., where the Canadian plane maker has its U.S. headquarters and employs more than 1,200 people.

Satanic Ritual Killer’s Lawyers Claim Death Penalty is Against Her Religion

Satanic Ritual Killer’s Lawyers Claim Death Penalty is Against Her Religion

In 1995, Colleen Slemmer was lured out into the woods, slashed all over her body and beaten to death. The killer called herself ‘Lil Devil’, kept a piece of the murdered woman’s skull as a trophy and a pentagram was carved into the dead woman’s chest. As long as the killer lives, that piece of skull remains evidence and cannot be returned to the victim’s mother and buried.

Every year that pro-crime activists fight for her satanic killer, Colleen cannot be laid to rest.
