Canada says it will get a powerful under-ice sub force. Its money isn’t where its mouth is

The Canadian government has announced an ambitious – and expensive – plan to triple the size of the Royal Canadian Navy’s submarine fleet.

Expect setbacks. Ottawa has struggled to maintain its existing undersea warfare capability, and does not spend much money on defence. Hugely expanding its submarine force could prove … difficult.

Does Joe Biden’s departure change things? Justin Trudeau has a plan, and he’s standing his ground

Justin Trudeau kept it simple with his statement on Joe Biden’s decision to bow out of the U.S. presidential race, calling him a “true friend” and thanking him for the many years they’ve worked together.

Canada’s prime minister has had much in common with the beleaguered U.S. president over the past month — mounting cries to step down and clear the field for someone in a better position to fight back against the threats to his continued power.

Lack of motive in Trump attack frustrates public, but fits a pattern

In the week since the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, details have emerged about sniper positions and Secret Service agents, witnesses and warnings.

But the answer to the biggest question remains elusive: Why?

So far, investigators say, they have found little evidence of an ideology driving the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old nursing home aide who was killed at the scene. The information gleaned from his phone, family and friends doesn’t offer a motive, national security analysts say, and the absence of a quick explanation has left room for the rapid-fire spread of partisan and conspiratorial theories shaping how millions of Americans view the attack.

Bad traffic causing locals to consider leaving Toronto: survey

A new survey commissioned by the Toronto Region Board of Trade shows a majority of respondents have considered moving away from the city due to congestion.

The board says the survey provides data on a sentiment that’s popular throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA): congestion is getting out of hand. That’s why, according to an infrastructure expert and a cycling advocate, there needs to be a focus on giving people options outside of cars to move around the city.

The survey conducted by Ipsos heard from 1,000 people in Toronto, Hamilton, Durham, Halton, Peel and York between June 7 and 14.

They should do a survey on the diversity of driving habits motorists face in Shithole city.

Bear in mind Chairman Chow views personal transportation as evil and she will go out of her way to run the city into the ground by making driving as difficult as possible.

WARMINGTON: Cops should drop van probe, focus on kids used in protests instead

Al Quds Day, Queens Park, Toronto, July 26 2014

Seeing a small child heading up a anti-Israel protest was almost as shocking as seeing kids holding up swastikas.

A small child, whose face is covered with a red and white keffiyeh, was leading a Gaza resistance march Saturday on Yonge St. About five years old and riding on the shoulders of a keffiyeh-wearing adult, the child was speaking into a microphone to marshal a large crowd on Yonge, chanting in Arabic to the beat of a drummer.

It was surreal.


Yes it is surreal but nothing new, as indicated the pic above is from 2014.

Our leadership needs to understand that Islam is a death cult.

Think of fighting the Emperor God worshipping Japanese in WW II.

That is the only way to defeat them.

‘STUPID AMOUNTS OF MONEY’: State Department Official Admits ‘Mistakes’ in Ukraine; U.S. Funding ‘Unaccounted For’

While everyday Americans face ongoing economic challenges and sky high inflation at home, a current Country Coordinator for the U.S. State Department stated in a Project Veritas undercover recording that most Americans are unaware of the “stupid amounts of money” flowing from U.S. taxpayers to Ukraine – “billions” he admits is used to prop up the Ukrainian electrical grid and pay handsome salaries.

Benjamin Netanyahu rejects ceasefire demands that would ‘leave Hamas intact’ – as Israeli cabinet votes to close Al Jazeera office

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected ceasefire proposals because he says Hamas’s call for a withdrawal of all troops from Gaza and an end to the war is unacceptable.

Mr Netanyahu said agreeing such proposals would “leave Hamas intact” and leave the possibility of another attack in future.

“Surrendering to the demands of Hamas would be a terrible defeat for the State of Israel,” he said in a video statement.

Love the idea or hate it, experts say federal use of notwithstanding clause would be a bombshell

Could be twins, at least on spiritual plain says CBC

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s suggestion this week that he would use the notwithstanding clause to push through criminal justice reforms would be a landmark moment in the history of the controversial mechanism, experts say.

In an interview on CBC Radio’s The House airing Saturday, defence lawyer Lindsay Board said federal use of Section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, known as the notwithstanding clause, would be historic.

“It’s only been done a handful of times at the provincial level. It is incredibly politically significant and would perhaps set a precedent if that were invoked,” she told The House.

Really? A Bombshell? Nope.
