The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is limiting the use of its 973 Chinese-made drones to non-sensitive operations, stating the devices present “high security risks, primarily due to their country of origin.”
Chinese drones make up about 80 per cent of the federal police force’s fleet of 1,230 remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS), which are used to monitor the Canada-U.S. border and in various police operations.
Latin American immigrants and their descendants are assimilating to the majority culture.
The 2024 presidential election confirmed a political phenomenon that has been building for years: Hispanics are no longer a reliable Democratic constituency. Donald Trump won 48 percent of the Hispanic vote, just three points shy of Kamala Harris’s share. Perhaps even more striking, he carried 51 percent of foreign-born, naturalized Hispanic immigrants—a direct rebuke to the assumption that immigrants instinctively side with the Left.
The Ontario Provincial Police sergeant who led the investigation into Becky Hamber and Brandy Cooney testified at their first-degree murder trial Monday, outlining evidence collected by police in the case against the couple.
Sgt. Julie Powers told the Milton, Ont., courtroom that she spent weeks reviewing photos, videos, audio recordings, messages and call logs on electronic devices police took from Cooney and Hamber when they were charged in 2023 in relation to two boys they were trying to adopt.
Another day, another massive story of blue-state political malfeasance hidden by the Elitist Media nightly news. This time, there is not a peep about the exploding welfare scandal currently engulfing the state of Minnesota- which directly implicates some of its senior most elected leaders.
OTTAWA — Green Party leader Elizabeth May says supporting the Carney government on the budget vote is a “mistake” she won’t make again.
May told The Canadian Press the memorandum of understanding Prime Minister Mark Carney signed with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith on energy — specifically the part that applies federal tax credits to enhanced oil recovery — amounted to a “significant betrayal and a reversal” which has her questioning the worth of Carney’s word.
“I don’t know if the prime minister lied but I think he needs to consider what his word means when his word was given,” she said.

Even before the dam collapsed, Lamec did not feel safe working at the copper mine.
“If our work protective gear gets damaged, it is not always replaced,” he tells us. “We have to take a risk and use it again.”
He is talking to the BBC in a car on a quiet backroad near a village in northern Zambia, too nervous to speak to us in public or to use his real name, for fear that speaking to the press might cost him his livelihood.
China is the new Honeybadger
For the ninth consecutive month, fewer passengers at Canadian airports are heading to the United States amid the trade war.
New data from Statistics Canada shows total Canadian air passenger traffic in October was up by 4.5 per cent to five million travellers from the same time last year, but the number of people on U.S.-bound trips is down 8.9 per cent to 1.2 million travellers.
You remember last week’s Washington Post report, the one with two anonymous administration sources claiming that in September, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered a second missile strike on a drug boat to ensure that any survivors were killed, “EVEN IF THEY’RE BABIES OR PUPPIES!”
Once again, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is right on target, moving to strengthen self-defence protections and push back against Ottawa’s gun policies — promising new guidance for police and prosecutors on when charges should, and shouldn’t, be laid. While Smith’s agreement with Prime Minister Mark Carney saw some criticism at her weekend United Conservative Party conference, her statements on defending your home and family drew wild applause.
European politicians pitched the continent’s green transition to voters as a win-win: Citizens would benefit from green jobs and cheap, abundant solar and wind energy alongside a sharp reduction in carbon emissions.
Nearly two decades on, the promise has largely proved costly for consumers and damaging for the economy.
Europe has succeeded in slashing carbon emissions more than any other region—by 30% from 2005 levels, compared with a 17% drop for the U.S. But along the way, the rush to renewables has helped drive up electricity prices in much of the continent.
Trump’s halting of asylum claims prompts fresh calls to suspend Safe Third Country Agreement
Lawyers and refugee experts say U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that his country will halt all asylum claims should prompt the Canadian government to suspend the Safe Third Country Agreement, which they say is now unworkable.
The agreement mandates that asylum seekers must make a claim in the first country they arrive in, which allows Canada to turn away potential refugee claimants who enter the country from the United States as it is considered safe there.
“Lawyers and refugee experts” = snakes.
The mass shooting in California that killed four people, including three kids, erupted just as a toddler was cutting cake at her 2nd birthday party, according to her mom — who said the shooters “deserve to go to hell.”
The birthday girl’s mother, Patrice Williams, said partygoers dropped to the floor as soon as the gunshots rang out inside the packed banquet hall in Stockton on Saturday.
… Authorities haven’t identified any suspects but have indicated the shooting was gang-related.
Gang related? That is cartel level violence.
A leading Conservative MP is calling for change after the accused rapist of a 13-year-old Ontario girl was given time to weigh how a guilty plea would affect his immigration status.
The case involves a 47-year-old Bradford resident, and non-citizen, who pleaded guilty last week to “two counts of sexual interference, one charge of child luring and another to breaching his release conditions,” local news outlet BarrieToday reported.
A left-wing church in Illinois put out a Nativity scene with a zip-tied baby Jesus, Roman soldiers depicted as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, and Mary and Joseph wearing gas masks.
Ontarians continue to be using food banks at a record-breaking rate, with a new report warning the number of users grew for the ninth straight year as some families are “barely holding on.”
“What we’re seeing is really a greater depth of need in with the affordability crisis,” said Carolyn Stewart, CEO of Feed Ontario which released the report. “It’s really pushing more families from really that just getting-by area to barely holding on.”
We are being asked to support our replacement. Much pushback in the comments here.
What is rarely revealed is the number of “migrants” , “foreign students”, “TFW’s” etc… who use the foodbanks.
