Strong leadership or political theatre? Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s attack Tuesday on international booze corporation Diageo can be seen either way.
The premier was in a fury over the company’s plan to eliminate a Crown Royal whisky bottling plant in Amherstburg, Ont. at the cost of about 200 local jobs, most of them unionized.
A group of Navy SEALs emerged from the ink-black ocean on a winter night in early 2019 and crept to a rocky shore in North Korea. They were on a top secret mission so complex and consequential that everything had to go exactly right.
The objective was to plant an electronic device that would let the United States intercept the communications of North Korea’s reclusive leader, Kim Jong-un, amid high-level nuclear talks with President Trump.
The mission had the potential to provide the United States with a stream of valuable intelligence. But it meant putting American commandos on North Korean soil — a move that, if detected, not only could sink negotiations but also could lead to a hostage crisis or an escalating conflict with a nuclear-armed foe.
The most shockingly disturbing issue out of this leak to @nytimes revealing a SEAL raid on NK is what it shows about the national security state’s willingness to strategically leak highly classified info (clearly a hugely sensitive op) to push its own destructive narrative… https://t.co/3MEM9AbOgd

Canadian economy bled 66,000 jobs in August as unemployment rate at its highest since ‘pandemic days’
Canada’s unemployment rate reached nearly its highest point since 2016 as the economy shed 66,000 jobs in August, according to new data from Statistics Canada.
The unemployment rate rose 0.2 percentage points in August to 7.1 per cent, a level last seen in May 2016 if the COVID-19 years of 2020 and 2021 were excluded, the data agency said.
The unemployment rate, or the number of people unemployed out of the total population, has been rising consistently this year, up from a 6.6 per cent rate in January.

Returning to the White House this year, President Trump said he wanted to go down in history as a “peacemaker”.
On Friday he was set to announce that the Department of Defense would revert to its original name, the Department of War — an exercise that is expected to cost billions of dollars in signage, stationary and uniform.
The Department of War name was in use from 1789, shortly after the founding of the United States, until the late 1940s, after the Second World War.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday that the Justice Department will expand Joint Task Force (JTF) Alpha to cover the U.S. northern border with Canada and all maritime borders.
“We will receive more resources to prosecute these cases and key figures in cartel, human trafficking and transnational criminals,” Bondi said at a press conference. “We will strengthen our collaboration with foreign law enforcement throughout this world to protect not only their citizens but ours and return these criminals to American soil for prosecution.”

Information collected during the yearslong Salt Typhoon attack could allow Beijing’s intelligence services to track targets from the United States and dozens of other countries.
China has hacked into American power grids and companies for decades, stealing sensitive files and intellectual property such as chip designs as it seeks to gain an edge over the United States.
But a sweeping cyberattack by a group known as Salt Typhoon is China’s most ambitious yet, experts and officials have concluded after a year of investigating it. It targeted more than 80 countries and may have stolen information from nearly every American, officials said. They see it as evidence that China’s capabilities rival those of the United States and its allies.
When one of the best writers on anti-white racism feels the need to write a column about a noble immigrant, we have to wonder if America’s ethno-masochism has gone too far.
Has it been mandated by law that everyone have a heartwarming story about a plucky, hardworking immigrant?
Liberals don’t like Americans, so they’re left out of this question. But Jeremy Carl? He wrote the excellent book “The Unprotected Class: How Anti-White Racism Is Tearing America Apart.” And his article came out the same week that sensible economist Tyler Cowen uttered his own lunacy about our marvelous immigrants.
No doubt many Canadians will be surprised to learn that, according to Prime Minister Mark Carney, Canada has already achieved, “the best trade deal of any country in the world” with U.S. President Donald Trump.
The reason, Carney said on Wednesday, is that. “We have a team, a very senior team, the clerk of the Privy Council is there in Washington as we speak, that is meeting with U.S. counterparts”, plus his own constructive conversations with Trump, including, the PM revealed, their latest “at length” talk on Monday which he described as a “good” conversation.
QUEBEC — Jean Charest says Canada will eventually thank U.S. President Donald Trump for providing the country with a much-needed economic shakeup.
The Quebec premier between 2003 and 2012 told business leaders in Quebec City on Tuesday that Trump is pulling Canada out of its “lethargy” and forcing its leaders to rethink the economy.
Charest is now a member of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s council on Canada-U.S. relations.
Crony Capitalism has taken a hit in the balls. But Canada being Canada they will remain an important part of our corrupt self serving political class.
An international law enforcement operation called Operation Box Cutter has shut down a major criminal enterprise that was supplying precursor drugs that were used in the manufacture of fentanyl.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced that 22 Chinese nationals, four Chinese pharmaceutical companies, and three Americans had been arrested in what Patel referred to as an “unprecedented” operation.
A prominent conservative figure in American politics and the mastermind behind Project 2025 — the infamous policy blueprint that proposed a drastic overhaul of the U.S. government — will speak to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet behind closed doors Thursday.
Carney and his ministers are in the Greater Toronto Area for two days of meetings ahead of the fall parliamentary sitting. According to the list of guest speakers, the Liberal team is hearing from Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank that has shaped Republican administrations since the 1980s.
It’s the group that spearheaded Project 2025, a 900-page manifesto meant to usher in a new ultra-conservative administration supported by more than 100 like-minded organizations.
Remember this the next time the CBC cries “foreign interference” or some such nonsense when the Conservatives invite a US speaker.
The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, issuing subpoenas as part of an inquiry into whether she submitted fraudulent information on mortgage applications, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
The initial scrutiny has centered on Cook’s properties in Ann Arbor, Mich., and Atlanta, with investigators using grand juries as part of the probe, the officials said.
Nigel Farage said Britain was at “war with freedom” as he prepared to testify in US Congress over limits to free speech.
The Reform UK leader is at a hearing this morning in Washington, raising concerns about British restrictions on freedom of speech in the US.
Mr Farage has raised the case Graham Linehan, the Father Ted creator, who was arrested by five armed officers over posts he made on X about transgender people. Mr Farage earlier described Linehan’s arrest as a “war on freedom”.
More than 50 people were shot in Chicago this past weekend — 8 of whom were killed. Instead of addressing the bloodshed, Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson spent his time telling residents to be ready to “defend this land” from the National Guard, anticipating President Donald Trump may deploy the National Guard to crack down on rampant crime in the Windy City.
President Trump was already scaring the hell out of the leftists, but they’re absolutely terrified now that he’s taking aim at their control of the institutions that manage our history; the skinsuit is coming off, and the castrated commie emperorhas been exposed as having no clothes. They hate America, and they hate our history, and they want to twist it into a garotte to strangle our patriotism. No thanks. Our history is our history, not theirs, and from here on in, we’re going to tell our story, not them.
