Head of Defence Investment Agency to step down after one year in job, sources say

Head of Defence Investment Agency to step down after one year in job, sources say

Former banker Doug Guzman is expected to depart as head of the federal government’s newly created Defence Investment Agency after only a year on the job, two sources say.

The sources told The Globe and Mail that Mr. Guzman is frustrated by the slow pace of government bureaucracy in getting defence procurement projects moving and approved.

Mr. Guzman was an important player in the July decision to purchase 12 conventionally powered submarines from German company TKMS for the Royal Canadian Navy, one source said, and has demanded quicker action on procurement files during his tenure.

The LPC strategy is to wait out Trump and then resume Canada’s deadbeat on defence status.

Massachusetts Court Says Town Can’t Build Statues Of Christian Heroes Because They’re Christian

Massachusetts Court Says Town Can’t Build Statues Of Christian Heroes Because They’re Christian

Massachusetts’ highest court just handed the ACLU a powerful new tool for scrubbing religious references from public life, and it did so by inventing an injury nobody has suffered.

The Supreme Judicial Court blocked Quincy, Massachusetts, from installing two bronze statues of St. Michael the Archangel and St. Florian outside its new public safety building, not because the city coerced anyone into worship, funded a church, or discriminated against a resident, but because the statues are new, large, and “closely affiliated with a particular religion.” That’s the entire violation: bronze that might make someone think of Catholicism. If that reasoning survives, it won’t stop at two statues in Quincy.

Carney’s Critical-Minerals Pitch Draws Protest Coalition With CODEPINK Ties

Carney’s Critical-Minerals Pitch Draws Protest Coalition With CODEPINK Ties

OTTAWA — The Ring of Fire sits about 500 kilometers northeast of Thunder Bay in the muskeg of Ontario’s James Bay Lowlands, on Treaty 9 territory. Prospectors found it in 2007 and named it after a Johnny Cash song.

Beneath the peat moss lies the Canadian Shield, deeply seamed with nickel and cobalt for batteries used in electric vehicles and smart phones, copper for the grids that power data centers, titanium, platinum and palladium for aerospace, and the largest deposit of chromite — critical to stainless steel — in North America.

Satanic Ritual Killer’s Lawyers Claim Death Penalty is Against Her Religion

Satanic Ritual Killer’s Lawyers Claim Death Penalty is Against Her Religion

In 1995, Colleen Slemmer was lured out into the woods, slashed all over her body and beaten to death. The killer called herself ‘Lil Devil’, kept a piece of the murdered woman’s skull as a trophy and a pentagram was carved into the dead woman’s chest. As long as the killer lives, that piece of skull remains evidence and cannot be returned to the victim’s mother and buried.

Every year that pro-crime activists fight for her satanic killer, Colleen cannot be laid to rest.

Net Zero is leaving Britain defenceless

Net Zero is leaving Britain defenceless

Russian threats to attack British factories producing drones and missile components for Ukraine are a reminder that the industrial base is once again becoming part of the battlefield.

In a way, this has always been the case. In an attritional conflict, the ability to produce, replace and sustain military capability matters as much as the weapons a country starts with. Military power has always depended on productive force. It was Paul Kennedy who documented the relationship between economic power and military power across five centuries of great-power competition in his magnum opus, The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers. In December 2024, John Bew, former chief foreign-policy adviser to No10, gave this logic a new name – ‘machinepolitik’. He argued we are returning to an era of ‘raw power’ in which the ability to harness productive force, from armaments to energy to technology, will increasingly determine which countries shape events.

FBI Says Chinese National Studying In Canada Took Paid Taskings to Photograph Airplanes In Toronto and Chicago

FBI Says Chinese National Studying In Canada Took Paid Taskings to Photograph Airplanes In Toronto and Chicago

OTTAWA — While the case of Biwei Zhang moves through the courts in Brussels, where an appeals court has extended the detention of the Canadian intern from China accused of espionage inside the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s military high command, a second file involving a Chinese national living and studying in Ontario — whose phone, United States officials found, held photographs of himself and others in tactical formations holding rifle-styled firearms, after he was caught photographing American aircraft in Chicago and admitted to a similar operation at Toronto’s airport — is opening in federal court in Michigan.

Seems the LPC is a ChiCom subsidiary.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Liberal byelection sweep cements Carney’s flag-rallying strategy

“It’s a great time to be a Liberal in Canada.”

Those were the words of a smiling Tanveer Shahnawaz, the Liberal candidate in Beaches—East York, celebrating his victory Monday night. They may also be the political understatement of the year. Shahnawaz was one of three Liberals who swept Monday’s federal by-elections, winning his Toronto riding with 56 per cent of the vote. The party also held North Vancouver—Capilano in B.C. and took Chicoutimi—Le Fjord from the Conservatives in Quebec.

Sweden: Man Beaten to Death After Defending Daughter Against Gropers

A man in his 50s has died after being seriously assaulted outside a restaurant in Sweden after trying to defend his daughter from a group of young men who had been groping her.

Authorities have not yet released information about the suspects’ nationality, ethnicity, or background, raising the suspicion among social media users that the perpetrators may be migrants.

Police were called to the centre of the Swedish city of Karlstad at about 1.25 a.m. on Sunday, August 30th after a violent disturbance broke out outside a fast food restaurant.
