Most Canadians agree that Alberta separatists asking U.S. for help is treasonous: poll

Seventy-one per cent of Canadians agree with B.C. Premier David Eby’s recent statement that “to go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there’s an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason,” according to a new poll from Canada Pulse Insights.
Trump told Palm Beach police chief ‘thank goodness you’re stopping’ Epstein, called Ghislaine Maxwell ‘evil’ in 2006 phone call: FBI document

Donald Trump personally called the police chief of Palm Beach, Fla., in 2006 to thank him for investigating Jeffrey Epstein — and told him to “focus on” the disgraced financier’s “evil” accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, according to a newly released FBI document.
According to the summary of an October 2019 interview of Michael Reiter, who served as the wealthy Florida enclave’s top cop from 2001 to 2009, the future president was “one of the very first people to call when people found out” that authorities were investigating Epstein for sex with girls as young as 14 whom he had hired to give him massages.

The court record laying out 17 charges against Constable Timothy Barnhardt alleges that the 19-year veteran of the Toronto force worked closely with Brian Da Costa, who police accuse of being involved in an international drug-trafficking network.

LILLEY: Olivia Chow promotes her budget, and re-election, using your tax dollars

Toronto has gone from spending money to find out what residents want in their city budget to spending more promoting how great the budget is. In fact, in this election year, the city’s communications efforts on selling Mayor Olivia Chow’s budget, which gets voted on Tuesday, increased by $100,000.
Finally, Some Journalisming! NY Times Front-Pager Exposes Epstein Ties to Clinton Machine

Turns out even a broken clock can get it right twice a day. The New York Times just plastered their front-page with an exposé connecting the sadistic Jeffrey Epstein empire with the politically radioactive Clintons.
Following the release of long-awaited files pertaining to the Epstein case by the Department of Justice, Times investigative reporter Danny Hakim took a detour away from his employer’s never-ending Trump bashing to draft a February 8 story that’s sure to make liberal heads spin: “Epstein Files Reveal Scope of Ghislaine Maxwell’s Role in Clinton Circle.”
Carney speaks to Trump after president erupts over Gordie Howe Bridge

Prime Minister Mark Carney said he spoke to his U.S. counterpart early Tuesday morning about the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which Donald Trump has threatened to block, explaining to him that Canadians paid for the bridge in full and that the Americans already have an ownership stake.
Carney said he told Trump that the federal government paid some $4 billion to build the Windsor-Detroit bridge and that it was built with Canadian and U.S. workers and steel from both countries, despite the president’s bogus claims that there was “virtually no U.S. content” used during construction.
Netanyahu rushes to Washington for talks with Trump over Iran

Spooked by President Trump’s praise of “very good talks” with Iran, Binyamin Netanyahu is rushing to Washington on Tuesday to try to impress upon the US that any deal must curb ballistic missiles as well as Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
The Israeli prime minister requested that a visit due on February 18 be brought forward after Trump touted an imminent follow-up meeting between his envoys and Tehran. Iran insisted that only nuclear issues were on the table.
Conservatives to propose banning foreign predators convicted of crimes from claiming asylum

OTTAWA – The Conservatives are planning to introduce a motion today to bar non-citizens convicted of serious crimes from making refugee claims.
The motion also calls on the government to prevent asylum claims from people whose cases are still working their way through the courts.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said on social media Monday non-citizens who commit serious crimes “must be forced to leave our country.”
So whose lame-brained idea was it to allow asylum claims by foreign predators to begin with?

Braid: Poll shows exodus from separate Alberta would make Quebec flight look minor

The prospect of Alberta leaving Canada is such a hot topic that the other potential “leavers” have been overlooked.
These are folks who would flee the province if independence goes forward in a serious way.
Probably ex-Torontonians who would prefer living in China’s 24th province..

Cowichan decision leads to another claim on private lands in B.C.

An Indigenous group on British Columbia’s central coast is claiming ownership of private lands in a case that relies on a groundbreaking court decision from last summer that opened the door to Aboriginal claims on private property.
The Dzawada’enuxw First Nation is seeking a court declaration that almost 650 hectares of fee simple lands around Kingcome Inlet are rather “Indian settlement lands” that should never have been pre-empted by settlers more than a century ago. (Fee simple lands have long been known in Canadian law as the highest form of private land ownership.)
How Sweden defied liberal outrage to crush the gang violence epidemic

Famed for its openness and slower pace of life, Sweden is one of the last places you might expect to see children being pulled off the streets and searched without a warrant, or having their phones spied on by detectives.
But after four years of gang violence that has seen children as young as 12 recruited on social media to carry out hit jobs against rival gangsters, police say it has become a grim but necessary reality.
In April 2024, Swedish police were handed sweeping new powers to tackle the rise of Middle Eastern drug syndicates who groom boys and girls into being “foot soldiers” by offering them up to 150,000 kroner (£12,500) per job.
