China ‘funding pro-Palestine marches in UK’

China is suspected of funding pro-Palestine marches in the UK, The Telegraph can disclose.

US politicians investigating alleged secret Chinese backing of Code Pink, a far-Left feminist protest group established in the US, are examining its activities in Britain as part of an inquiry into foreign interference.

Code Pink has organised protests in the UK against Britain’s involvement in “the genocide in Gaza”, encouraged its activists to demonstrate outside RAF bases, and issued statements claiming that Britain’s leaders have been “bought by Zionism”.


Canada isn’t mentioned as it’s assumed the LPC is a ChiCom subsidiary.

Ford government accused of xenophobia for going after temporary residents, undocumented migrants on social assistance

The Ford government is fuelling xenophobia by excluding temporary residents and undocumented migrants from accessing Ontario’s social assistance programs, critics say.

On Thursday, Children, Community and Social Services Minister Michael Parsa announced that the new rules, effective immediately, are meant to protect taxpayer dollars, ensuring Ontario Works and the Ontario Disability Support Program are focused on supporting only families and individuals who are legally authorized to live in Canada.

“They are promoting xenophobia with these speeches that migrants are stealing and leeching off the systems, which we are not,” said Luisa Ortiz-Garza, a migrant community co-ordinator at Parkdale Community Legal Services. “I think this is just an openly racist policy.”

US says dozens of countries including Canada helped China dodge Trump’s tariffs

The White House said in a report on Thursday that more than 40 countries had helped China sidestep US tariffs by routing exports through nations that face lower American import duties.

The countries named include Canada, India, Mexico, Japan and South Korea, which the White House said had helped China evade tens of billions of dollars in tariffs, which are levied on companies importing goods.

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said it had cost “American jobs and billions in revenue”.


Given Carney’s love of China it’s no surprise.

Flock boss admits surveillance firm took too long to act over police abuse

Flock, the US surveillance firm, is rolling out new safeguards to prevent police misuse of its technology which, its founder and chief executive admits, should have happened sooner.

Police have used Flock to track romantic partners and stalk strangers, leading to growing public backlash against the company. It has also been used to find stolen cars and missing people.

Asked whether it had taken Flock too long to protect tens of thousands of its cameras, licence plate readers and drones from police abuse, Garrett Langley said: “Yeah… yes.”

“This year we have two and a half less interceptors than we had in 2025,” the Ukrainian president said in an interview with CNN. “Russia has two times more ballistic missiles per month than they had before.”

Conservatives, Bloc want probe into Canadian NATO intern spying allegations

Conservative and Bloc MPs have called for an emergency meeting of the House of Commons public safety committee to probe espionage allegations against a Canadian former intern arrested by Belgian authorities on suspicion of espionage.

“These allegations are deeply concerning and raise serious questions about Canada’s national security screening processes,” Conservative MP Frank Caputo said in a statement on Thursday.

“Parliament must determine whether there were gaps in Canada’s security screening system and whether those gaps could have exposed sensitive information or put the security of Canada and our allies at risk.”
