The CIA might just have given an alarming signal that Putin is about to attack Nato

There aren’t many reasons for Americans to visit Moscow today. Red Square lacks the glamour that the first Pizza Hut and McDonald’s gave it in those days of optimism and openness that followed the Soviet collapse. Visitors today only go to carry a warning.

In 2021, Bill Burns, then head of the CIA, cautioned the Kremlin that the full-scale invasion of Ukraine would be a disaster. It would fail and would leave President Putin’s regime weaker. He was right.

CBC tells staff not to call 9/11 a ‘terrorist attack’

CBC tells staff not to call 9/11 a ‘terrorist attack’

With the 25th anniversary of 9/11 on the horizon, the CBC has circulated a memo to reporters and editors across all its news platforms reminding them not to refer to the attacks that claimed 3,000 lives and changed the modern world as “terrorist attacks.”

The missive from the broadcaster’s journalistic standards and practices office, a copy of which was obtained by National Post, includes a section of the “longstanding language guidance” on the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks carried out by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda.


Don’t put Muslims in charge of anything. They can’t control themselves. Their lives are an acting out of a cultish nightmare.

Hackers Say Rabat Deployed Moroccan Agents to Ceuta Before and During Mass Incursion

A leak involving tens of thousands of members of Morocco’s security apparatus has opened a new chapter in the Ceuta crisis.

The hacker group Jabaroot claims to have published personal and professional information on around 70,000 agents and police officers linked mainly to the domestic intelligence service —DGST— and the General Directorate for National Security —DGSN— and has presented the operation as a “gift to Spain” following the mass entry on July 30.

China is weaponizing the Canada–US trade rift to divide North America: Stephen Nagy for Inside Policy

China is weaponizing the Canada–US trade rift to divide North America: Stephen Nagy for Inside Policy

According to a Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) report released in March 2026, China views Canada as a “high priority” for foreign interference. The strategic rationale is straightforward. Our geographic, institutional, and cultural proximity to the United States means that a compromised Canada is a direct liability to Washington. If Beijing — America’s primary security challenger — can exert enough influence to misalign Canadian domestic and foreign policy from that of the US, it effectively renders North America vulnerable.

MACLEOD: Alberta needs its own trade deal with the United States

MACLEOD: Alberta needs its own trade deal with the United States

For three days, Canada and the United States (US) appeared to have a trade deal. On August 19, President Donald Trump said they probably had one. Canada’s trade minister, Dominic LeBlanc, said the two countries were “very close,” while US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said negotiators had reached an agreement. Then, late on August 21, Prime Minister Mark Carney pulled Canada’s negotiators out of Washington and killed it.

Hasan Piker’s Mocking Of Charlie Kirk Is Part Of The Left’s Assassination Prep Campaign

Hasan Piker’s Mocking Of Charlie Kirk Is Part Of The Left’s Assassination Prep Campaign

When President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania in July of 2024, the moment was assumed (perhaps naively) by some on the right to be a watershed moment. The egregious display of political violence that was the culmination of a years-long assassination prep campaign against the president and more broadly, Republicans, was certainly the last, so many thought.

It was not.

A 121,800-person citizenship queue is punching a hole in Ottawa’s immigration plan

A 121,800-person citizenship queue is punching a hole in Ottawa’s immigration plan

Pending applications for proof of Canadian citizenship stood at roughly 56,000 in April. By May, they had reached 70,400. Today they sit at 121,800, and the posted processing time has doubled since spring, from 12 to 25 months. This is the fastest-growing channel of potential newcomers to Canada, and it appears nowhere in the immigration levels plan the Carney government cites as proof it has the file under control.

Banning cousin marriage won’t make it disappear

Banning cousin marriage won’t make it disappear

Reports today suggest Andy Burnham has been invited to send ministers to cross-party talks on a private member’s bill which would make marriage and sexual intercourse between first cousins illegal. The bill, tabled by Conservative MP Luke Evans in June, follows a similar piece of legislation by fellow Tory MP Richard Holden which received widespread attention last year. But the Evans bill is the first to address not just marriage but sex between first cousins.

A mentally ill asylum seeker lay in wait for a lone woman before slashing her 30 times with a broken bottle.

Ibrahim Albashir, 34, launched the frenzied attack on his victim, now 32, as she walked home from a meal with friends in March 2024.

On Tuesday, as he was jailed for 25 years, Leeds Crown Court heard of the shocking failures on both sides of the Channel that left Albashir able to travel to Britain.

Trade Compliance Word of the Day: ‘Transshipment’

Trade Compliance Word of the Day: ‘Transshipment’

Among the reasons for the most recent blowup in the trade negotiations between the U.S. and Canada is the issue of rampant transshipment, or, the transfer of goods or containers from one transport mode to another at a middle location on their way to a final destination, which Canada is allegedly not only tolerating, but encouraging, at the expense of not just the U.S. but the free world.

This is a challenge, not only because it’s the kind of industry jargon that makes a political issue difficult to discuss, but also because the word has multiple meanings, and not all are bad.
