Le boycott: French customers shun McDonald’s, Coca Cola and Tesla to protest against Trump

On the rainy Grands Boulevards in Paris on Friday, the branches of McDonald’s and KFC were doing brisk business.

There was little sign of “le boycott” – a movement among French customers to reject American brands and products made in the US, in protest at Donald Trump’s trade tariffs and anti-Europe rhetoric.

A poll, which splashed the front page of the Libération newspaper last week, found that more than six out of 10 French people support shunning American products, and almost one in three are already avoiding them.

A Labour MP for a city plagued with bin strikes and piled high with rubbish has backed calls for a new airport to be built in Kashmir.

Bad news if true …

IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION: Is a Secret UFO Program Hidden in the White House?

It’s been around five months since IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION—an alleged covert UFO program—entered the public lexicon.

Publicly, it began with a scoop on 8 October 2024, when investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger revealed details of an alleged shadowy Unacknowledged Special Access Program (uSAP) tasked with tracking advanced craft with extraordinary capabilities.

These were categorised as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and Reproduction Vehicles (RVs)—the former believed to be non-human in origin, the latter tied to foreign states or unknown entities, representing craft reverse-engineered from non-human technology.

According to the report, U.S. military intelligence can distinguish between UAP and RVs.

The implication was staggering: that nations like China or Russia—or even rogue private actors—may have reverse-engineered non-human technology, unlocking game-changing propulsion systems, such as anti-gravitic lift and instantaneous acceleration.

Bloc unveils no-pipeline platform as federalist parties rise in Quebec

QUEBEC CITY – The Bloc Québécois platform, unveiled Saturday, brings back the word “independence.” It’s only used once, but the spirit is clear.

The Bloc’s 35 pages of proposals are “made out of love for our nation, but also out of duty” to “build the Quebec of tomorrow: an independent Quebec,” it reads.

Yet, today’s Quebec seems to be looking somewhere else to park its vote, and Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet senses it. He hears it on the ground: Quebecers are overwhelmingly leaning toward the Liberals. Some are looking to vote Conservative.

American invasion of Canada would spark decades-long insurgency, expert predicts

CAF Transgender Tank

HALIFAX – If U.S. President Donald Trump fails in his stated goal of annexing Canada through economic force, what would happen if he ordered the world’s most powerful military to invade?

Some experts and academics say it’s a notion too preposterous to even contemplate. But Aisha Ahmad isn’t one of them.

“When you look at the power (imbalance) between the U.S. and Canada, an invasion would immediately result in the defeat of the Canadian Armed Forces,” said the University of Toronto political science professor, who last month published an essay on the subject in The Conversation.

SKY news network is ripped apart for blaming TRUMP and DOGE for suffering in Myanmar earthquake

Sky News is coming under fire from Trump supporters after the news network published a column linking the devastation caused by Myanmar’s catastrophic earthquake and humanitarian crisis to President Trump and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

At the heart of the uproar is a 1,200-word dispatch filed by International Affairs Editor Dominic Waghorn, whose commentary argued how the US government’s dismantling of USAID under Trump had compounded the disaster’s fallout.

‘The Myanmar quake is the first major disaster to suffer the brunt of Donald Trump’s USAID cuts,’ Waghorn wrote, pointing to the administration’s controversial closure of America’s international aid agency as a contributing factor to the scale of the suffering.

Explicit Canadian emails target bourbon maker as Trump’s trade war intensifies

Standing next to half a dozen white oak barrels full of aging Kentucky bourbon, on the floor of his small Louisville, Ky., distillery, Victor Yarbrough holds up his laptop and starts reading his emails.

As the co-founder of Brough Brothers Distillery, he’s visibly taken aback by what’s landed in his inbox. And as a polite businessman, there’s some of it he will not say out loud.

There are roughly 50 emails in total, and most of them negative. Some of them are angry; a few are even explicit.

Should Canada explore developing a nuclear weapons program?

Amid a changing global security landscape and ongoing sovereignty taunts from U.S. President Donald Trump, one military expert says Canada may need to reconsider its position on nuclear weapons.

In the current geopolitical environment, Canadians need to start thinking about “difficult questions” around national security, Jean-François Bélanger, assistant professor of Military Operations at the Royal Danish Defence College, said in a Tuesday interview with BNN Bloomberg.

“What does it mean when our Number 1 ally in the first place decouples from European security and also mentions that they’re tired of paying for Canadian security collaboration, and on the other hand threatens annexation?” he said.
