Pro-LGBT Canadian school counselor charged with sex crimes against a minor

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pro-lgbt-canadian-school-counselor-charged-with-sex-crimes-against-a-minor/

The woman, who has been identified through court documents as 41-year-old Bethany Jean Toombs, is now facing charges from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Major Crimes Unit from the province of Prince Edward Island.

A leading female gender ideology activist, who also worked as a school counsellor, has been charged with grievous sexual offenses involving a minor.

The woman, who has been identified through court documents as 41-year-old Bethany Jean Toombs, is now facing charges from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Major Crimes Unit from the province of Prince Edward Island.

The charges against her were recently filed in PEI provincial court in the capital Charlottetown, and include sexual assault, sexual interference, as well as invitation to sexual touching. All the charges were made known through an investigation which was started by the RCMP’s Major Crime Unit last month.

Along with the sexual assault charges, Toombs is also facing charges of allowing a minor under 19 to consume cannabis. Continue...

Trudeau-appointed senator apologizes for asking media to edit Conservative opponent’s op-ed

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/trudeau-appointed-senator-apologizes-for-asking-media-to-edit-conservative-opponents-op-ed/

Liberal Lucie Moncion disagreed with a piece written by Conservative Donald Plett in the Hill Times about overspending in the Canadian Senate and had her staff submit revisions.

A Trudeau-appointed senator who boasted to colleagues that she was able to successfully get edits made to a commentary piece published by a conservative political rival issued an apology.

“I assure all senators the committee is taking necessary steps to ensure this doesn’t occur again,” said Ontario Senator Lucie Moncion, a former banker and the chair of the Senate committee on internal economy who was appointed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2016. “I wish to offer you my personal, unreserved and unqualified apology.”

Moncion also said that she has “learned from this event,” which made headlines in Canada, after she told the Senate, as reported by LifeSiteNews, that she was able to get a August 21 piece published by Senator Donald Plett, who serves as the Opposition Senate leader, edited from its original form.

Plett, a Conservative, wrote a piece in the Ottawa weekly newspaper the Hill Times titled “Trudeau’s Experimental Senate Changes Are Turning Out To Be A Dud.”

Moncion took issue with what was written in Plett’s piece, telling senators “inaccurate information was presented” and that they had to “remain vigilant.”

According to Moncion, she had members of her staff make the revisions to Plett’s commentary, which included complaints about overspending in the Senate.

Moncion claimed that “(o)nce a newspaper has the facts it is free to change an article, remove it or leave it as is,” adding, “I repeat: The newspaper is free to make corrections.”

Senators were told that the corrections made to Plett’s piece were not due to libel or misstatement but because of a technical aspect, according to Moncion.

The Hill Times is one of Canada’s most heavily subsidized weekly newspapers, receiving more than $1 million in the last 18 months from grants, subsidies, and sole-sourced government contracts.

Plett was not pleased with the changes to his commentary, saying, “This is outrageous. We now have a Senate communications police that will not only ‘fact-check’ what senators say or write outside the chamber, but they will also, in secret, change how you present your thoughts.”

Trudeau has pumped billions into propping up the mostly state-funded Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) as well as providing large payouts for legacy media outlets ahead of the 2025 federal election. In total, the subsidies are expected to cost taxpayers $129 million over the next five years.

We have been following the movement by multiple European nations trying to change their decade-old crippling, insane immigration policies in a variety of ways, but always criticizing the EU for advocating for unchecked mass migration that is ripping their social tissue apart.

Now, under unbearable pressure, the European Commission has decided to FINALLY propose a tightening of the EU’s stance on migration, as the arrivals by illegals have become a major political and security continental issue.

Re-elected commissioner Ursula von der Leyen wrote to EU leaders, who are to gather tomorrow and Friday (17-18) to discuss migration, that she will address 10 issues to help the 27 countries members deal with the migration self-inflicted woes.

Amazon To Invest More Than $500 Million In Small Modular Nuclear Reactors To Power AWS

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/amazon-invest-more-500-million-small-modular-nuclear-reactors-power-aws

It's starting to feel like every single day the embrace of nuclear to power the future of data centers takes hold tighter. Just hours ago, it was Google inking a deal with Kairos Power for small modular reactors.

Today, it's Amazon, putting on display why our "next AI trade" will generate obnoxious amounts of alpha in the coming years, as they commit to investing more than $500 million to develop small module reactors, according to CNBC.

Amazon Web Services is launching three projects from Virginia to Washington State. AWS has partnered with Dominion Energy to explore building a small modular reactor (SMR) near the North Anna nuclear station in Virginia. SMRs, which produce no carbon emissions, have smaller footprints and faster construction times than traditional reactors.

CNBC writes that Virginia hosts nearly half of the U.S. data centers, with Northern Virginia’s "Data Center Alley" in Loudoun County handling 70% of the world’s internet traffic daily.

Dominion Energy, meanwhile, supplies 3,500 megawatts to 452 data centers across Virginia, with most in Data Center Alley. Typical data centers require 30 megawatts or more, and Dominion is now receiving requests for 60 to 90 megawatts. It expects demand to grow by 85% in the next 15 years. AWS’s new SMRs are projected to add at least 300 megawatts of power to the region. Continue...

As the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) carries out widely-criticized responses to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, officials say the agency’s Disaster Recovery Fund is incapable of handling a third major storm. While some are circulating false accusations that disaster funds have been diverted to immigrants or poured into the proxy war in Ukraine, a review of the agency’s 2024 outlays reveals a different, ongoing drain on FEMA’s coffers: Long after the end of the declared Covid-19 emergency, FEMA is still pumping out billions of dollars to pay for pandemic expenses — including, believe it or not, up to $9,000 each for funerals.

A Liberal backbencher is publicly calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down as party leader as other MPs co-ordinate their efforts to force him out.

Sean Casey, the MP for Charlottetown, told CBC News Network's Power & Politics that Trudeau's leadership has become one of the main topics of conversation when he speaks to voters in his riding.

"The message that I've been getting loud and clear — and more and more strongly as time goes by — is that it is time for [Trudeau] to go. And I agree," he told host David Cochrane in an exclusive interview Tuesday.

How relations between India and Canada hit rock bottom

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c89lne2k87vo

India and Canada have expelled their top diplomats amid escalating tensions over the assassination of a Sikh separatist on Canadian soil, marking a new low in a historically cordial relationship. While past disagreements have strained ties, none have reached this level of open confrontation.

In 1974, India shocked the world by detonating a nuclear device, drawing outrage from Canada, which accused India of extracting plutonium from a Canadian reactor, a gift intended solely for peaceful use.

Relations between the two nations cooled considerably – Canada suspended support to India’s atomic energy programme.

Yet neither expelled their top diplomats like they did on Monday as the row intensified over last year's assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canada-based Sikh leader labelled a terrorist by India. Continue...

Alberta launches national campaign to oppose federal oil and gas sector cap

https://tnc.news/2024/10/16/alberta-national-campaign-oppose-federal-cap/

The Alberta government is launching a nationwide advertising campaign to warn Canadians about the consequences of a federal cap on the oil and gas sector.

This isn’t the first time Alberta has spent money on an advertising drive to counter Liberal government policies harmful to the province’s interests.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and various ministers announced the campaign at a press conference on Tuesday.

Smith said that $7 million would be spent on the ad campaign which includes TV, online, video, print, and social media. The ads won’t only reach Alberta but will also be aired in B.C., Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia until the end of November.

Alberta’s strategy cites three previous reports in its press release highlighting the economic damage the proposed cap would inflict on the Canadian economy.

The Conference Board of Canada’s report estimated that the cap would reduce Canada’s GDP by up to $1 trillion between 2030 and 2040 and lead to the loss of 151,000 jobs by 2030.

An S&P study showed that if implemented the cap would cut production by two million barrels of oil daily, resulting in a projected 51,000 lost jobs and $247 billion in lost GDP by 2035.

Similarly, a Deloitte Canada report indicated that the emissions cap would cause Alberta’s GDP to fall by 4.5% by 2040, while the rest of the country would see a 0.4% decline. Continue...

CBC President acknowledges growing support to defund state broadcaster in internal email

https://tnc.news/2024/10/16/cbc-president-acknowledges-defund-internal-email/

CBC President and CEO Catherine Tait acknowledged that the state broadcaster is poised to have its funding cut in the near future as “the defund narrative has picked up momentum,” according to an internal email she sent out earlier this year.

Tait’s email was sent out in January requesting that two staff members volunteer for a committee being organized by the heritage minister to help create a government plan for CBC/Radio-Canada.

The email was later obtained by the National Post through an access-to-information request, however, its two recipients’ names were redacted. Tait said their participation was “critical to the issues on the table.”

“Sadly, the ‘defund’ narrative has picked up momentum — especially as it relates to CBC television. I believe the industry must rally if we are to secure Canadian-owned production for the future,” Tait wrote.

The email went on to say that 2025 would be a “big year” for the industry.

True North contacted CBC to further expand on Tait’s email, however, a spokesperson responded by saying “we won’t comment on private correspondence.”

Tait’s contract as CBC’s president and CEO is slated to end in January, with the government expected to announce her replacement this fall.

Additionally, Canadian Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge said she hopes to release the government’s plan to modernize the public broadcaster this fall, including changes to its mandate. Continue...

Canada reveals source for India allegations

https://www.rt.com/india/605825-canada-india-five-eyes-intelligence/

Relations between Ottawa and New Delhi soured after the death of a Sikh independence activist

Canada may have received evidence from ‘Five Eyes’ allies that India was behind the killing of a Sikh separatist leader on Canadian soil, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told a commission of inquiry.

Earlier this week, Trudeau accused India of carrying out a campaign of violence against Sikhs on Canadian soil, as well as assassinating the Khalistan independence movement head in British Columbia last year.

“I was apprised by my intelligence services that there was credible intelligence that agents of the government of India were involved in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar,” Trudeau told the Hogue Commission on Wednesday.

The commission was set up by Ottawa to investigate “foreign interference in federal electoral processes and democratic institutions,” focusing primarily on China and Russia.

“We actually asked intelligence agencies, and it turned out they were doing this anyway, to look in more closely to the circumstances around this particular murder,” Trudeau added. “So in late July, early August, I was briefed on the fact that there was intelligence from Canada, and possibly from Five Eyes allies that made it fairly clear, incredibly clear, that India was involved in this.”

The ‘Five Eyes’ refers to a partnership to share intelligence and surveillance by the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Continue...

The Ukrainian leader’s proposal is a set of “incoherent slogans,” according to Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova

Moscow has dismissed Vladimir Zelensky’s much-touted eight-point ‘victory plan’ as nothing but a “plan for the misfortune of Ukraine,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said in a statement.

On Wednesday, the Ukrainian leader unveiled his long-promised proposal to Western supporters during an extraordinary parliamentary session. Zelensky laid out five points, including an immediate invitation to join NATO, permission to use Western long-range weapons to strike targets deep in Russia, and continued incursions into the neighboring country’s territory. A further three points remain classified but have supposedly been shared with Kiev’s backers.

Spokeswoman Zakharova responded to the five points of Zelensky’s plan at a press conference, calling them nothing more than a “set of incoherent slogans” and “bloody foam on the lips of a neo-Nazi killer.”

Commenting on Kiev’s “hysteria” about being invited into NATO, the she alleged that the only place the West sees for Ukraine in its “security architecture” is “in a coffin and Ukrainian citizens in graves.”

“That is why they brought this clown to power, who was supposed to finish off Ukraine as a state and kill as many Ukrainians as possible,” Zakharova said. Continue...

CANADISTAN OUT OF CONTROL: ‘Doctors’ Repeatedly Push Assisted Suicide to Cancer Patient Even Though She Keeps Refusing It

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/canadistan-control-doctors-repeatedly-push-assisted-suicide-cancer/

As the United Kingdom under the Labour Party falls prey to the ‘culture of death’ and begins discussing legislation allowing ‘assisted suicide for terminal patients’, crazy Canada shows us how things rapidly escalate to the point where it’s almost ‘euthanasia by demand’.

It now arises that a woman undergoing cancer surgery in Canada was repeatedly offered assisted suicide TWICE by doctors before entering the operating room and again during her recuperation.

In Canadistan, the number of people opting for medical assistance in dying (MAID) program has risen thirteen-fold from 1,018 to 13,241 in 2022, and is now the fifth-leading cause of death in the country.

It’s the fastest-growing assisted suicide program in the world.

Already unpopular Sir Keir Starmer is ‘very pleased’ that MPs will get the chance to vote on the issue. The Government pretends to remain neutral on the subject, but the Premier has previously supported an assisted dying bill.

The Canadian patient is a married grandmother set to undergo a mastectomy operation for breast cancer, when a ‘physician’ asked her if she knew about medical assistance in dying (MAID).

“Speaking anonymously, the 51-year-old cancer patient said of the moment she was offered death instead of surgery: ‘It floored me… [it was] the most vulnerable I’ve ever felt in my life. I was sitting in two surgical gowns, one frontways and one backwards, with a cap on my hair and booties on my feet. I was shivering and in a hard plastic chair and all alone in a hallway’, she said in a video for the Christian Medical and Dental Association. ‘The [doctor] sat down and went through all the scary things with me. Then he asked ‘Did you know about medical assistance in dying?’

[…] Despite declining the offer of the MAID program [on her first mastectomy], the woman was asked about assisted dying again before undergoing her second mastectomy nine months later and spoken to a third time while recuperating in the recovery room after that procedure. Continue...

The Biden-Harris regime announced on Wednesday that they were sending another $425 million to Ukraine to fight their losing war against Russia.

As a reminder – none of the money going to Ukraine will be audited.

Via Grok AI – The US has sent at least $174 billion to Ukraine for their war effort. $62 billion was channeled through the Pentagon for military support. Over $46 billion was sent for humanitarian efforts.

The Department of Defense announced $2.4 billion in security assistance to Ukraine in September.

Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris regime has sent $474 million to Americans who survived Hurricane Helene in North Carolina in late September.

Radical EU bureaucrats are weaponizing the Digital Services Act (DSA) to crack down on free speech that doesn't align with government-approved narratives on social media, including Elon Musk's 'free speech' platform X. The EU's attack on free speech online has possibly entered a new chapter, with Musk's entire business empire potentially in the crosshairs of fines.

Bloomberg reported that EU bureaucrats are mulling over how to calculate fines against X for failing to combat what the bloc deems 'illegal content or disinformation' on the social media platform (this spat between EU-Musk has been ongoing for about a year). In other words, EU officials are livid with Musk because X does not censor and/or shadow-ban folks based on political views. So, these bureaucrats must potentially resort to lawfare against their political enemies. Continue...

Slovakia Moves to Ban ‘Dangerous’ Covid ‘Vaccines,’ Declares Pandemic a ‘Fabricated Operation’

https://slaynews.com/news/slovakia-ban-dangerous-covid-vaccines-declares-pandemic-fabricated-operation/?ref=truth11.com

Top government officials in Slovakia are moving to ban “dangerous” Covid mRNA shots from the country after an explosive investigation determined that the pandemic was a “fabricated operation” and the “vaccines” were a resulting “act of bioterrorism.”

The findings were revealed in a Slovak government commission report on the nation’s investigations into the Covid pandemic.

The investigation was led by Commissioner Peter Kotlár.

In releasing his report, Kotlár held a press conference to call for the immediate ban of the Covid mRNA injections and called on governments around the world to do the same.

Due to the severity of the findings detailed in the report, Kotlár has called for an emergency “session of the government” to immediately ban the “vaccines” and to cut the nation’s ties with the globalist World Health Organization (WHO).

While the report has not yet been made public, Kotlár confirmed that it will be released after the “session of the government.”

However, he did reveal that the report details evidence showing that Covid was artificially created in a biolab and deliberately spread worldwide.

“The most serious consequence of the whole fabricated operation called the COVID-19 pandemic is the endangerment of human health and the confirmation of the naivety of the world population to be subconsciously obedient,” Kotlár said.

“Let us at least make the right gesture together by stopping the administration of mRNA preparations until their effectiveness and safety have been proven,” Kotlar demanded when presenting his report. Continue...

Canadian doctors express 'guilt' over euthanizing patients for just being poor or fat

https://thepostmillennial.com/canadian-doctors-express-guilt-over-euthanizing-patients-for-just-being-poor-or-fat

One patient requested MAiD “mostly because he is homeless, in debt and cannot tolerate the idea of [long-term care] of any kind.”

Canadian doctors find it “morally distressing” that the country’s euthanasia program, titled Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), is now available to people who are not just terminally ill but simply unhappy with their life circumstances. Physicians have expressed guilt over the program’s expansion and their participation in it, the Daily Mail reported.

In 2021, Canada allowed more people to be “eligible: for MAiD, including those with incurable but not necessarily terminal illnesses, leading to 30 percent more people requesting physician-assisted suicide."

But documents obtained by the Mail revealed that many doctors are not happy with the program’s continual escalation toward more death. An Ontario doctor shared how one of his patients had a severe lung disease but really requested euthanasia “mostly because he is homeless, in debt and cannot tolerate the idea of [long-term care] of any kind.” Continue...

Four more Liberal cabinet ministers announce they won’t be seeking reelection

https://tnc.news/2024/10/17/four-liberal-ministers-wont-seek-reelection/

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will have to reshuffle his cabinet once again in the wake of four cabinet ministers announcing that they won’t be seeking reelection. This comes as Trudeau faces a growing movement within the Liberal caucus calling for him to step down as leader.

Minister of National Revenue Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Sports Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Economic Development for Southern Ontario Filomena Tassi and Minister of Northern Affairs Dan Vandal informed Trudeau that they won’t be running again in the next federal election.

All four were elected in the 2015 election.

Bibeau said she may consider a run for mayor of Sherbrooke when the city has its election next fall.

While Trudeau has yet to announce an exact date, sources told Radio-Canada that a cabinet reshuffle is coming in the next few weeks as all four positions will require replacements.

The prime minister was told by some of his advisors to wait until the U.S. election has concluded before making the new appointments, which would mean a cabinet shuffle wouldn’t occur until at least Nov. 5. Continue...

In a context where thousands of American citizens are struggling in the aftermath of the Helene and Milton hurricanes, it’s outrageous that feeble Joe Biden is still dishing out hundreds of millions of dollars to the ‘world’s greatest salesman’, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zlensky, to bankroll a war effort in a conflict that he has no chance of winning.

Of course, America first leader and Republican Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump has been very critical of this situation, and as election day approaches, he has been stepping up his criticism of Zelensky.

This week, while presenting his ‘victory plan’ to his countrymen, Zelensky went over board and demanded that ‘either Ukraine joins NATO or gets nuclear weapons’, in what many understood as some kind of ultimatum to Trump. Continue…

In a massive human trafficking sting that should shake the nation to its core, more than 150 individuals have been arrested in Polk County, Florida—including a Disney employee and 25 illegal immigrants.

The five-day operation, dubbed “Operation Autumn Sweep,” led to the arrest of 157 suspects involved in prostitution and related crimes, including 47 prostitutes, 96 “Johns,” and 14 others facing various charges, according to FOX 13.

Sheriff Grady Judd emphasized the alarming criminal backgrounds of those arrested, with a staggering 327 prior felony charges and 400 misdemeanor charges among them.

This is not merely a case of isolated incidents; it showcases a systemic issue that demands immediate attention and action. Continue…

Child sex trafficking and forced labor have skyrocketed under the Biden-Harris administration, tripling the levels seen during Donald Trump’s presidency.

A recent report reveals that the number of exploited minors has alarmingly increased due to lax immigration policies, which have allowed criminal networks involved in human trafficking to thrive.

During Trump’s tenure, an average of 562 Letters of Certification and Eligibility for human trafficking victims were issued annually. Under Biden, this average has soared to 1,837 letters per year. Continue…

Confiscation Games: Public Expropriation Of Private Assets

https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/confiscation-games-public-expropriation-private-assets

Throughout history, governments around the world have occasionally resorted to confiscating the assets of their citizens in response to economic crises, political purges, or ideological pursuits. These actions, often justified as necessary for the greater good, have frequently resulted in widespread social disruption and significant hardship for the affected populations.

This report delves into four significant historical episodes of asset confiscation, examining the methods used by governments to seize property and the diverse strategies individuals and communities employed to resist or evade these confiscations. Each case provides insight into the complex relationship between state power and personal property rights, as well as the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Continue…

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/canadas-trudeau-slammed-over-black-justice-proposal-would-decriminalize-drugs-empty-jails

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is being slammed by conservatives over recommendations he seeks to implement from a standing committee on “black justice" in Canada.

The proposal will make crime worse in Canada, conservatives led by MP Jamil Jivani have argued.

Jivani challenged Liberal Diversity Minister Kamal Khera at a heritage committee meeting over the recommendations in "A Roadmap for Transformative Change: Canada’s Black Justice Strategy", according to True North.

Jivani criticized the proposals as "radical," citing calls for a 30% reduction in incarceration over 10 years, decriminalizing a 30-day supply of hard drugs like cocaine, heroin, and meth, and cutting 25% of federal grants to police departments.

Jivani accused Khera of being the "DEI Minister" and asked if she supported such “radical criminal justice policies”. Continue…

CRA fires 330 employees for illegitimately taking CERB payments

https://tnc.news/2024/10/18/cra-fires-330-employees-for-illegitimately-taking-cerb-payments/

The Canada Revenue Agency terminated 330 employees for inappropriately receiving the Canada Emergency Response Benefit during the COVID-19 pandemic, after completing its final internal review on the matter.

The government tax agency launched an internal review in June 2023, after several employees were found to have illegitimately received CERB payments.

The inquiry ultimately led to as many as 600 employees being investigated.

“Starting in July 2024, for individuals who have not responded or co-operated, and who have been determined to have the financial capacity to pay, legal warnings will be issued and legal measures could be taken to recover monies owed,” wrote the CRA in a statement released in June.

According to the agency, only people who have already been contacted about repaying their debt are the ones who should be worried.

“Legal measures are only taken when there is no cooperation from an individual with ability to repay the debt,” reads the release. Continue…

PBO report forecasts deficit to surpass Liberals’ $40 billion promise

https://tnc.news/2024/10/18/pbo-report-forecasts-deficit-surpass-40-billion/

The federal budget watchdog estimates that the Liberal government’s deficit will reach a whopping $46.8 billion this year.

“Based on our analysis, the government will not meet its fiscal commitment to keep the deficit below $40 billion in 2023-24,” said Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux in his latest Economic and Fiscal Outlook report.

However, it won’t be until Giroux publishes the PBO’s annual public accounts report later this fall that the government’s deficit will be fully accounted for.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland vowed to keep the deficit capped below $40 billion last year, stating in her spring budget that the government was on track to keep their promise.

“As bad as the budget was, the independent budget watchdog is showing federal finances are in even worse shape,” said Franco Terrazzano, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation in a statement.

“The Trudeau government continues to mismanage our finances and that means more money wasted on interest charges, higher taxes and more debt that Canadians’ kids and grandkids have to pay back.”

After seeing an increase from Budget 2024’s deficit of $39.8 billion, the CTF is calling on the federal government to “immediately cut spending” now that the deficit is already $6.6 billion over budget.

“The government must cut spending,” said Terrazzano. Continue…

https://breaking-news.ca/an-ontario-man-found-guilty-of-criminal-common-nuisance-for-protesting-covid-restrictions-has-his-charge-dropped-at-appeal-hearing/

Welland, ON — Cullen McDonald, 34, has won a significant legal victory after a Superior Court judge overturned his criminal conviction related to an anti-lockdown protest in St. Catharines while upholding his acquittal in a similar case from Niagara Falls. McDonald, who now lives in Mexico most of the time, flew back to Ontario for the court case.

The ruling concludes a three-year legal battle over McDonald’s participation in protests against COVID-19 restrictions in Ontario and has attracted national attention for its potential implications, particularly regarding the imposition of criminal charges for provincial public health violations.

McDonald was charged with the criminal offense of “common nuisance” in connection with two separate protests in 2021, each of which led to starkly different legal outcomes. Continue…

Trudeau will never talk about the real foreign meddling in Canadian politics

https://www.rt.com/news/605911-trudeau-tucker-carlson-russia-funded/

The prime minister sees interference from abroad everywhere, except right under his own nose – or rather, at his back

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sees foreign interference everywhere, even where Canadian officials say it doesn’t exist. But he can’t for the life of him find the systemic foreign meddling that’s right under his nose, and of personal and political benefit.

During seemingly endless Canadian parliamentary foreign interference inquiries that started in September 2023, Trudeau has just testified (in French) that Russia is everywhere, accusing Moscow of “amplifying” Canada’s problems, like when a bunch of honking Freedom Convoy truckers descended on Ottawa to demand equal treatment for all Canadians regardless of Covid jab status.

Like it was Russia that blocked protesters’ bank accounts at the behest of Team Trudeau, in a move that went globally viral because it confirmed people’s worst fears about a dystopian slide into authoritarianism and social credit-style mass control. Go against the establishment and just try to even survive without access to your own money.

Trudeau was specifically shown and asked about RT headlines criticizing his government’s actions around the Convoy, generally shrugging them off as propaganda and disinformation, even though it turns out that they were really just prescient. Because in January 2024, even the Canadian Federal Court ruled that Team Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act, which is normally reserved for incidents like war and terrorism, and the extraordinary measures taken under it, banking and otherwise, violated the constitutional rights of Canadians. So, is Canadian Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley a Kremlin agent, too?

As for any evidence that the Freedom Convoy was foreign funded? Nonsense, said Canada’s intelligence services at a formal inquiry in 2022. Continue…

Besides the endless problems with its airplanes, workers strikes and charges by whistleblowers, perhaps the most high-profile black eye on the company’s reputation was the endless issues with its spacecraft Starliner.

Due to Starliner’s embarrassing maiden crewed flight that left two astronauts stranded in space, NASA decided to use SpaceX’s Dragon for the upcoming flights to the International Space Station (ISS) while it decides what to do with Boeing’s trouble-plagued spacecraft.

It only really took one season of voters electing rightwing parties all over Europe – the so-called ‘far-right’ – for the EU leaders to fall into a panic and collectively decide to abandon the suicidal, crippling adherence to unchecked mass migration and rush to update their failed ‘asylum’ policies.

Yesterday (17), European Union leaders used a Brussels summit to advance ways to make the bloc ‘a more hostile destination for migrants and asylum seekers’.

Right at the summit opening, the political leaders are plotting to speed up initiatives to get ‘unwanted’ illegal migrants out of the bloc, while simultaneously processing asylum applications outside Europe, seeking to establish a reputation as ‘Fortress Europe’.

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-poised-cripple-ukraine-steel-industry-seizing-vital-coal-mine

In what promises to be a major milestone in more than two-and-a-half years of war, Russia is closing in on the capture of a vital industrial asset: a Ukrainian coal mine that's a cornerstone of the country's steel industry.

Owned by Ukrainian firm Metinvest, the modern facility opened in 1990 is Ukraine's largest mine for producing coking-coal, a specific grade used to fuel blast furnaces. It's near the village of Udachne, about 10 kilometers west of the city of Pokvrosk, which is itself a key supply hub in Ukraine's Donetsk oblast. Per the latest reports, the Russian army is reportedly just 8 to 12 kilometers east of Pokrovsk. Defensive lines have already been dug to Pokrovsk's west, so Ukrainian units will have positions to drop back to if Pokrovsk falls. Continue…

Communism Failure: Cuba Paralyzed By Massive Power Blackout

https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/communism-failure-massive-power-blackout-hits-cuba

In a post on X, Cuba's Ministry of Mines and Energy announced that the nation's largest power plant has been "completely disconnected," sparking widespread blackouts across the island. While unsurprising for the Communist-run island nation in the northern Caribbean Sea, it's a stark warning for all Americans about how Kamala Harris' proposed Communist policies could rapidly push the US towards third-world conditions if elected next month. We're halfway there with ten-plus million unvetted illegal aliens roaming America's city streets.

"Following the unexpected departure of the Antonio Guiteras CTE, the National Electricity System was completely disconnected at 11 a.m. today. The Unión Eléctrica is working on its restoration," the Ministry of Mines and Energy wrote on X around 1235 ET.

Bloomberg noted that hours before the unexpected failure at the 330-megawatt capacity CTE Antonio Guiteras power plant, the Communist government revealed that it would "paralyze" top industries and divert power for residential customers. Continue…

China's Coal Production Surged in September

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chinas-coal-production-surged-september

Coal production in China rose by 4.4% in the year last month to a total 414.46 million tons, government data showed.

The production rate also rose on the month: the August total stood at 396.55 million tons.

The increase followed the end of safety inspections in coal-producing regions and the return of coal-to-chemicals capacity to normal operation after maintenance, Reuters reported.

“Following the end of maintenance on some coal-based methanol, urea, PVC and other chemical capacity, the capacity utilisation rate has gradually increased,” Reuters quoted analysts with Galaxy Futures, a China-based financial services firm, as saying. Continue…

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/did-cdc-officials-mislead-public-about-covid-vaccine-efficacy-rep-massie-says-yes

When Congressman Thomas Massie (R-KY) contacted officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in December of 2020, he wanted to know if taking the newly released Covid vaccine would benefit him, since he’d already contracted the illness.

After reading the scientific studies himself, and seeing no benefit, Massie contacted the CDC to learn why they were putting out incorrect information which claimed that their studies showed that the Covid vaccine does provide a benefit to those who have previously had Covid.

Massie says those secretly recorded conversations with CDC officials in December of 2020 show that they were lying about their Pfizer Covid vaccine trial data. Continue…

Pentagon tells Ukraine to use drones instead of US missiles

https://www.rt.com/news/605923-austin-pentagon-ukraine-drones/

Lloyd Austin has suggested that Ukraine use its long-range drones

Ukraine’s long-range drones are very effective and cheaper than Western missiles, and Kiev doesn’t need anyone else’s permission to deploy them, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has argued.

Kiev has been clamoring for Western long-range weapons and permission to use them for strikes deep inside Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that this would mean open conflict with the West and proposed changing Moscow’s nuclear doctrine accordingly.

Speaking to reporters after the NATO defense ministers’ meeting in Brussels on Friday, Austin dodged the question about Western long-range missiles that implied Putin’s “nuclear blackmail” was successful.

He also denied that the US may have told Ukraine to stop striking deep into Russia with drones. Continue…

https://expose-news.com/2024/10/18/tedros-the-terrorist-says/

“During the covid-19 pandemic, falsehoods about masks, vaccines and ‘lockdowns’ spread as fast as the virus itself, and were almost as deadly,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at the World Health Summit on Sunday.

These comments come from a man who has been accused of supporting and attempting to procure arms and diplomatic support for a terrorist group in Ethiopia. He is also accused of spreading misinformation about the situation in Ethiopia.

The World Health Summit (“WHS”) is an annual international conference and network that brings together “stakeholders” from politics, science, the private sector and civil society to set the agenda for a “healthier” future. Established in 2009, the summit is held in Berlin, Germany, and also offers online participation.

This year’s WHS was held between 13 and 15 October under the slogan “Building Trust for a Healthier World.” Continue…

https://reclaimthenet.org/bill-gates-doubles-down-on-global-digital-id-push-as-critics-sound-alarm-on-privacy-risks

Bill Gates has voiced strong support for what his foundation, along with the EU, the UN, and the World Economic Forum (WEF) refer to as digital public infrastructure (DPI), and its key parts – digital IDs and payments.

And Gates wants to see them implemented globally.

In a blog post, the Microsoft founder once again attempts to establish his reputation as a visionary on these matters and praises a number of developing countries where the concept of the DPI is currently in various ways, one could say, “trialed for the rest of the world” – India, Kenya, Brazil, Togo.

One of the major criticisms leveled at digital IDs and payments – and the rush to get there, given that the DPI is supposed to see large-scale adoption by 2030 – is that they will lead to “enhanced,” digital government surveillance, and subsequent disenfranchisement of people.

However, Gates does not share these concerns and claims that what he calls “a properly designed” DPI will in fact “enhance” privacy, thanks to “safeguards” he mentions in passing. Continue…

Chinese Communist Leader Xi Jinping Orders Military to Prepare for War

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/chinese-communist-leader-xi-jinping-orders-military-prepare/

Chinese Communist President Xi Jinping ordered the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to ramp up its preparedness for war, as reported by Chinese state media on Saturday, according to Barrons.

Xi’s call for heightened military readiness comes just days after China conducted large-scale military drills surrounding Taiwan.

While visiting a brigade of the PLA Rocket Force on Thursday, Xi Jinping urged troops to “comprehensively strengthen training and preparation for war” and to ensure they possess “solid combat capabilities.”

This latest move demonstrates the growing intensity of China’s military ambitions and its continued focus on Taiwan, which the Chinese Communist Party views as part of its territory.

Xi’s directive comes in the wake of Beijing’s deployment of fighter jets, drones, warships, and coast guard vessels in a show of force aimed directly at Taiwan, according to Barrons.

The exercises mark the fourth major round of war games targeting the island in just over two years. With each military maneuver, China inches closer to its longstanding threat of using force to bring Taiwan under its control. Continue…

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/biden-harris-regime-leaked-israels-potential-strike-plan/

The Biden-Harris regime continues to thwart Israel in its war against Iran and its proxy states.

On Saturday, The Jerusalem Post reported that two US intelligence documents were leaked to a pro-Iranian operation and then posted on a Telegram account linked to Iran.

The documents that were leaked by the Biden-Harris regime to the pro-Iranian operation detailed Israeli plans for a potential strike plan on Iran.

Both the US Defense Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment on the leaked documents.

The leak comes at a time when Israel is plotting a retalitory strike against Iran following its October 1 missile attack on the Jewish state.

This was not the first time the Biden regime was accused of leaking Israeli secrets to the Iranian regime.

Last year, in October 2023, House Republicans accused the US. Special Envoy to Iran Robert Malley “may have had a compromising tie to the Iranian regime.”

Robert Malley, a deranged Trump hater, had already been suspended from his position with the Biden regime at the time. The FBI was investigating him, and whether or not he mishandled classified information at the time.

As usual, the FBI has not offered any updates on this investigation since last year.

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) told FOX News at the time that Malley’s security violations were so serious that he was suspended without pay, and his security clearances were suspended as well. Continue…

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/g7-defense-ministers-gather-naples-as-world-is/

In the ancient northern Italy city of Naples, a very consequential event took place today (19), where the defense ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) opened their meeting with their Italian host warning that ‘the global security framework is growing increasingly precarious’ because of the conflict between ‘two competing visions of the world’.

The G7 is formed by the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan, with European Union and NATO representatives as usual participants and the inevitable Ukrainians crashing the ‘party’.

This year’s G7 meeting is including the first ministerial meeting dedicated solely to defense.

This comes as the war in the Middle East keeps escalating, and just a few days after Israeli forces killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

Italy has the G7 rotating presidency for 2024, in the context of the western powers also having to deal with the war in Ukraine, China’s movement around Taiwan, and much worsened tensions between North and South Korea.

His military has suffered repeated defeats, losing control of much of Myanmar’s borders, despite his efforts to reshuffle leadership and prosecute officers for their failures.

Between next week and next month, the world will Watch two diplomatic summits that will gather some of the planet’s most powerful political leaders.

In both these events, a character is standing out for his relevance and controversy: Russia’s President Vladimir Putin.

Putin has decided not to join the G20 meeting to avoid derailing the important discussions there – and potentially cause chaos in Brazil between Lula da Silva’s administration and those who would defend that Brazilian police try to implement the ICC’s arrest against him.

But to extrapolate that decision into a proof of his isolation would be misguided because next week, he will host 32 countries in the BRICS summit and hold no less than 17 bilateral meetings with other country’s leaders at the event in Kazan.

Having presented his so-called "victory plan" to his European and US allies, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky continues his Dickensian demands for "moar" (but this time with a threat of nukes).

Data from the Ukraine Support Tracker at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy shows that while the governments of the United Kingdom and Germany are certainly pulling their weight in their support of the Ukrainian war effort, France and Italy have fallen somewhat behind as Ukraine's tenth and 14th biggest donors (including pledges) as of August 31.

The countries have so far committed less than 0.2 percent of their 2021 GDPs each to Ukraine wartime aid, compared to around 0.4 percent in the case of the Germany and the United States and even 0.47 percent in the case of the United Kingdom. Continue…

A small Saskatchewan city is reporting a high level of methamphetamine concentrations in its wastewater, based on a per capita wastewater analysis conducted by Statistics Canada between 2022 and 2023.

The City of Prince Albert contained more traces of meth per capita in its wastewater between March 2022 and May 2023 than any other city in the county, and by a long shot, noted the agency.

Researchers discovered anywhere from 935 to 2,406 milligrams of meth per 1,000 people per day in Prince Albert’s sewage.

I recently published an article in The Gateway Pundit titled The All-Too-Short List of Conservative, Anti-Globalist Leaders*, profiling the few world leaders who champion national sovereignty, secure borders, economic protectionism, and oppose globalist institutions like the UN and the EU.

Many are ethnic nationalists and advocates for religious values, traditional family, and cultural preservation.

My original list included Donald Trump, Viktor Orbán, Jair Bolsonaro, Andrzej Duda, Giorgia Meloni, Marine Le Pen, Aleksandar Vučić, Javier Milei, Nayib Bukele, and Benjamin Netanyahu. Based on reader feedback, I’ve added several names, including Vladimir Putin.

Readers asked why I excluded Nigel Farage (UK), André Ventura (Portugal), Tino Chrupalla and Alice Weidel (Germany), Santiago Abascal (Spain), Edmundo Urrutia and Maria Machado (Venezuela), and Maxime Bernier (Canada).

While all of them fit the description of anti-globalist and conservative nationalist, they are not current sitting leaders. The article focused on heads of state, with the exception of Marine Le Pen, who was included due to her recent near-victory in the French elections. Continue…

The most absurd development of recent days in the war in Ukraine was the threat – against the western nations – by President Volodymyr Zelensky that ‘either Kiev is seated on NATO once and for all, or they’ll get nuclear weapons’.

This demented rambling has been walked back repeatedly, but there’s something about it that merits examining, because it may point to Ukraine having decided to use a ‘dirty bomb’, a crude artifact with nuclear waste that could cause radioactive contamination of large sections of territory, and be the catalyst of a worldwide nuclear exchange between the major powers.

The ‘bombshell’ statement (bad pun) from Zelensky came on the sidelines of the EU latest summit in Brussels.

He shockingly clarified: it’s either NATO quickly for Kiev, or Ukraine will once again ‘become a nuclear power’.

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/moldova-eu-referendum-vote-near-tie-president-blames-russian-interference

Update (13:00 ET): Pushed over the top by absentee ballots submitted by expatriates, Moldova's referendum calling for membership in the European Union has passed by a razor-thin margin - 50.46% Yes to 49.54% No.

Moldova's government blamed the unexpectedly close finish on Russian interference. However, Moldova itself has been accused of manipulating the critical expatriate vote with an uneven facilitation of absentee voting. "Moldovan authorities opened only two polling stations in Moscow for 400,000 Moldovan citizens living in Russia (instead of 17 in the past)," tweeted Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia's permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna.

LEVY: Dunlop fails to see how deep the rot goes in the TDSB

https://tnc.news/2024/10/21/levy-dunlop-fails-see-deep-rot-goes-tdsb/

It’s hard to believe there can be an Ontario education minister more disconnected with the reality of what is happening in the province’s classrooms, more uninformed about those who have made racism an industry and more tone-deaf than Stephen Lecce.

But new education minister Jill Dunlop appears to be just that person.

Faced with a genuine opportunity to reform the DEI-induced toxicity at the Toronto District School Board and the pervasive anti-Semitism in far too many Toronto schools, she instead announced that the man who has been a huge part of the problem, race advocate Patrick Case, would be the one to conduct a review of the board’s field trip policies.

This comes in the wake of what was supposed to be an Indigenous field trip on Sept. 18. It was sold to parents as an excursion to bring to light the mercury poisoning on Grassy Narrows community. But students from 15 schools were pressured to march and chant, “From Turtle Island to Palestine, occupation is a crime.”

Some students came home with “Zionist Kills” stickers.

No teachers were disciplined and trustees begrudgingly agreed to the ministry review at a special meeting at the end of September. Continue…

Ottawa to ban flavoured vaping products nationally

https://tnc.news/2024/10/21/ottawa-ban-flavoured-vaping-nationally/

The federal government will soon ban flavoured vape products across Canada, according to Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Ya’ara Saks.

The announcement comes over three years after the Trudeau government first pledged to usher in new restrictions in 2021.

The minister’s promise was in response to a press conference held in Ottawa earlier this month by an anti-tobacco coalition that demanded Saks either resign or immediately implement the ban.

“We have made a commitment from the start to restrict flavours. We haven’t wavered from that,” Ya’ara Saks told CBC News last week. “We will have this in place soon. I don’t anticipate this is going to take much longer.”

However, Saks provided no specific timeline.

The anti-tobacco groups blamed the minister’s failure to finalize regulations planned for earlier this year as the result of Saks succumbing to pressure from the vaping industry.

Health Canada initially pledged to reduce vaping flavours to just mint, menthol and tobacco in June 2021, citing a “rapid increase in youth vaping in Canada,” however, nothing materialized after that. Continue…

65% of Canadians say there are “too many” immigrants: poll

https://tnc.news/2024/10/21/canadians-too-many-immigrants-poll/

The majority of Canadians think that there are “too many” immigrants in Canada, according to a new Leger poll, a sentiment that has steadily been on the rise since 2019.

The Leger survey published on Wednesday was conducted for the Association of Canadians Studies and revealed a rather dramatic national consensus on the issue.

While just over a fifth of respondents said that they thought Canada’s immigration levels were “about the right number,” and around 2% there were “too few” immigrants, 65% said there are too many.

“The rise in the extent to which Canadians believe that there are too many immigrants is continuing and has yet again reached a new height,” chief executive of the ACS Jack Jedwab told the National Post.

“Virtually no one in Canada currently thinks that there are too few immigrants.” Continue…

https://www.rt.com/russia/606042-eu-troops-ukraine-politico/

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis has called on Brussels to revive the idea of putting boots on the ground in Ukraine

The EU should return to the idea of putting boots on the ground in Ukraine, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis has argued in a statement to Politico.

The diplomat insisted that Brussels should revive talks about deploying EU forces in Ukraine in response to reports of North Korean ammunition and soldiers supposedly taking part in the hostilities on the side of Russia.

“If information about Russia’s killing squads being equipped with North Korean ammunition and military personnel is confirmed, we have to get back to ‘boots on the ground’ and other ideas proposed by Emmanuel Macron,” Landsbergis told the outlet.

Allegations of Pyongyang supplying soldiers and equipment to Russia were originally raised by Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky last week and have been seconded by South Korea. However, neither the US nor NATO has yet been able to confirm any of these reports, while Moscow has dismissed the speculations as a “bogus story.”

Meanwhile, Macron’s continued refusal to rule out the potential deployment of French troops to Ukraine has repeatedly been criticized by other EU leaders who have argued that such a move would lead to a serious escalation of the conflict. Continue…

https://www.rt.com/india/606051-trudeau-made-sure-relations-with/

The Indian high commissioner withdrawn from Ottawa amid a diplomatic rift has accused Canada’s PM of “destroying” ties

Sanjay Kumar Verma, the former Indian High Commissioner to Canada, has slammed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for “destroying” their bilateral relationship for “political” reasons. He has been recalled by New Delhi amid a spiraling diplomatic row between the two nations.

In an interview with Canadian channel CTV News aired on Sunday, Verma denied Ottawa’s allegations against him and the Indian government regarding their alleged involvement in the murder of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil.

Verma, who was recalled after Canada alleged that he and other senior diplomats were “persons of interest” in the Nijjar murder probe, claimed that members of the extremist Khalistan movement, which seeks the creation of a separate nation state for the Sikh community, “are being encouraged all the time” in Canada.

“This is my allegation; I’m not providing any evidence for it, but I also know that some of these Khalistani extremists and terrorists are deep assets of CSIS,” he said in a conversation with the broadcaster. Continue…

The nationalist icon Stepan Bandera and Adolf Hitler are “one and the same,” the Russian FM has said

EU and NATO leaders have disgraced themselves by supporting Ukraine, where the theory and practices of Nazism are being legalized, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

In an interview with Argumenty I Fakty newspaper on Monday, Lavrov reiterated that the “de-Nazification” of Ukraine remains one of the key goals of Russia’s military operation.

“The biggest disgrace for the EU leaders – European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, [former NATO Secretary General] Jens Stoltenberg, the president of the European Council, Charles Michel – is that they have repeatedly stated from Brussels that they must support Ukraine to the end because it is fighting for their European values,” he said.

This backing basically means that top Western officials “are still ready to defend the so-called values of Nazism,” the foreign minister stressed.

He stated that in Ukraine, “along with laws that ban everything Russian on the basis of racism – language, education, culture, the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC)… legislation is being adopted that legitimizes the theory and practices of Nazism.” Continue…

Ukrainians admit they’re running out of troops – Spanish media

https://www.rt.com/russia/606038-ukraine-admits-manpower-shortage/

The manpower shortage is leading to long rotations and extreme exhaustion, frontline officers told El Pais

A lack of manpower has now become the main problem for the Ukrainian army as it is forced to gradually yield ground to the Russian advance, El Pais reported on Monday, citing Defense Ministry officials and battlefield commanders.

The Spanish daily’s reporters traveled to the frontline town of Kurakhovo, which is in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic but currently under Ukrainian control. According to the paper, Russian advances in the area mean that Kiev’s forces will soon have to retreat to avoid encirclement.

The head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s press team on the ground, speaking on condition of anonymity, told El Pais that Kiev’s main problem “is not weapons, it is the people.”

“Nobody wants to go to the army. The brigades tell us they can’t rotate, they’re exhausted. There will be no people to fight soon,” he is cited as saying.

Numerous Ukrainian servicemen interviewed by the outlet shared the same view. “Why are we retreating? Because we don’t have rotations, we don’t rest, we’re demoralized,” one Ukrainian officer fighting in Kurakhovo said. Continue…

BREAKING: Carney intends to run for Liberal leadership

https://www.westernstandard.news/canadian/breaking-carney-intends-to-run-for-liberal-leadership/58776

Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney confirmed his intention to enter elected politics, though he remains vague on specifics.

This announcement comes as several high-profile Liberals are reportedly positioning themselves for potential leadership bids.

Carney, who has been advising Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on economic matters, told a fellow Liberal that "you can't map these things out" when asked about the timing and nature of his political aspirations.

Meanwhile, there's speculation that cabinet ministers François-Philippe Champagne and Mélanie Joly have been discussing potential leadership campaigns with colleagues.

Former British Columbia premier Christy Clark also hinted at her interest in the top job during a Radio-Canada interview.

These developments occur against a backdrop of internal party dynamics, with more than two dozen Liberal MPs reportedly working to persuade Trudeau to step down and make way for new leadership.

Clark's potential candidacy gained attention last June when she said that Trudeau should resign and that others had encouraged her to run.

As speculation grows, the Liberal Party faces a period of uncertainty regarding its future leadership and direction.

OP-ED: Why is the elimination of Yahya Sinwar, the Head of Hamas, so significant?

https://tnc.news/2024/10/21/op-ed-why-elimination-yahya-sinwar-hamas-significant/

Yahya Sinwar has been the leader of Hamas since 2017. His biography reflects the life of an arch-terrorist responsible not only for the deaths of many Israeli civilians but also for the deaths of numerous Palestinians. Sinwar personally oversaw the execution of Palestinians suspected of cooperating with Israel or opposing Hamas. Additionally, he systematically used civilians as human shields, indirectly causing thousands of Palestinian casualties. His removal carries profound consequences for both Hamas and the broader conflict.

Hamas is a highly structured, hierarchical organization where decisions rest almost entirely in the hands of one person. Sinwar’s authority was absolute; he controlled operations and led crucial matters such as ceasefire negotiations and hostage releases. Every summit involving Egypt, Qatar, Israel, and the U.S. ultimately hinged on his word. With his death, the group faces a leadership vacuum that could lead to disarray, disrupt coordination, and spark internal power struggles. This sudden absence of centralized leadership may leave Hamas vulnerable and directionless in a critical moment. Continue…

Susan Holt’s Liberals form majority government in New Brunswick

https://tnc.news/2024/10/21/liberal-susan-holt-new-brunswick-majority1/

Susan Holt’s Liberal Party of New Brunswick has won the province’s 2024 election, marking a significant shift in leadership and ending Blaine Higgs’ pursuit of a third consecutive term.

The victory makes Holt the first female premier in New Brunswick’s history, following a closely contested race.

The Liberal Party’s triumph signals a change in direction for the province after nearly six years of Progressive Conservative governance.

The Liberals secured the required number of seats to form a majority government in the Legislative Assembly leading in 31 ridings. Meanwhile, Higgs’ Progressive Conservatives only won in 16 ridings and the Greens won 2 seats.

Holt was elected in her riding of Fredericton South-Silverwood while Higgs lost to Liberal candidate Aaron Kennedy in Quispamsis.

The Liberals saw a significant increase from the 17 seats the party held after the 2020 provincial election when they were the official opposition to the Conservatives’ majority government.

New Brunswick’s Legislative Assembly consists of 49 seats, with 25 needed to form a majority government. In 2020, Higgs’ party won 27 seats.

Holt’s victory comes after a 33-day campaign where the Liberals emphasized improved access to healthcare, increased affordability measures, a new housing strategy, and a reformed education system.

Holt also promised to introduce climate action measures, enhance economic development, and improve leadership in provincial governance. Continue…

The Battle for Selidovo: Russian Forces Develop Two Pincer Movements and Envelop the City, as Moscow Makes a Play for the Whole Donbas Region, ‘The Cradle of the War’

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/battle-selidovo-russian-forces-develop-two-pincer-movements/

In this new reality of war, where satellite and drone surveillance make the idea of a surprise mass attack an impossibility, Russian Federation forces have found new tactical and strategic solutions to unlock the frontlines and get rapid territorial conquests.

On the one hand, on the macrocosmic approach, Moscow is constantly nibbling at the front in multiple places, probing for weaknesses and developing on any opportunities.

This keeps the Ukrainian defensive reinforcements in a perennial back and forth, depleting it.

On the microcosmic approach, on the many ongoing battles in Donetsk, Zaporozhie or even up north in Kharkiv, Russia is using small groups, often pairs, moving from building to building, slowly pushing out the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

These myriads of small, fast advances are harder to detect and pinpoint with artillery and drones, whereas a mass detachment can be entirely taken out with just one hit.

Right now, this is taking place in Toretsk and also Selidovo (Selydove in Ukrainian), where these small group tactics are dislodging the defenders from their established positions and expanding their control zone.

Russian forces have been fighting street-to-street battles with Ukrainian troops in the outskirts of the eastern Ukrainian town of Selidovo.

This comes as Moscow’s forces are pushing to make territorial gains before the winter, and wrestle control over the whole of the Donbas region from Kiev.

The read army is advancing at their fastest rate since March 2022, focusing on the Donbas region that, after the referendums, Russia now considers its territory.

When Vice President Kamala Harris congratulated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week on a huge victory over the Hamas terrorist group, she never mentioned that it came as a direct result of Netanyahu ignoring her advice.

On Wednesday, Israeli soldiers eliminated the Hamas terrorist leader Yahya Sinwar in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, Fox News reported.

Sinwar was the mastermind the massacre on Oct. 7, 2023 in which more than 1,200 victims, including 46 Americans, were murdered.

Harris and President Joe Biden congratulated Netanyahu on Sinwar’s death.

“Today, Israel confirmed that Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, is dead,” Harris said at a news conference Thursday. “And justice has been served, and the United States, Israel and the entire world are better off as a result.” Continue…

Chinese Drone Maker DJI Sues Pentagon Over Military Designation

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/chinese-drone-maker-dji-sues-pentagon-over-military-designation

Chinese drone giant DJI sued the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) on Oct. 18 for including the company in the department’s list of Chinese military companies.

DJI, which makes up more than half of the U.S. commercial drone market, said it’s “neither owned nor controlled by the Chinese military.”

The company also said it’s not a contributor to China’s military-civil fusion strategy or its military modernization.

The China-based company argued that the DOD’s designation is “arbitrary and capricious” and asked a district court in Washington to order its deletion from the list.

In 2021, Congress passed legislation requiring the Pentagon to compile a list of Chinese military companies operating in the United States.

DJI was added to the list in October 2022. According to the DJI complaint, the Pentagon renewed the designation in January this year despite the company’s 16-month effort seeking removal from the list.

The drone maker said the designation has “caused significant and ongoing harm,” reflected in canceled contracts and “pervasive stigmatization” of the company and its employees.

The DOD did not respond to The Epoch Times’ request for comment by publication time. Continue…

Bill Gates loses groundbreaking lawsuit and must appear before a Dutch court

Bill Gates, philanthropist and founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, recently filed “an incident” against the seven Dutch plaintiffs who want to take him to court because they accuse him of a “tortious act” as a participant in the project “The Great Reset”. The hearing was on September 18, 2024 in the District Court of Leeuwarden in Friesland (Netherlands) and the verdict was on October 16 2024.

Gates, who did not appear before the Leeuwarden District Court on September 18, but was represented by a lawyer from PelsRijcken, stated that he believes that a Dutch judge is not competent to judge him because Gates is an American citizen.

Canada’s OECD tax competitiveness ranking suffers due to capital gains rates, other taxes

https://tnc.news/2024/10/22/canadas-oecd-tax-competitiveness-ranking-suffers1/

Canada’s high capital gains rates, corporate and digital service taxes could be driving investment away, according to an international report that ranks tax competitiveness among developed nations.

According to the International Tax Foundations’ 2024 International Tax Competitiveness Index, Canada’s tax competitiveness fell two ranks down to 17th out of 38 other Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries.

The study examined changes in each country’s tax systems and graded each based on its competitiveness and neutrality.

“A competitive tax code is one that keeps marginal tax rates low,” the report said. “If a country’s tax rate is too high, it will drive investment elsewhere, leading to slower economic growth. In addition, high marginal tax rates can impede domestic investment and lead to tax avoidance.”

The report defines a neutral tax system as one that raises revenue but minimizes economic distortions in the market.

“This means that it doesn’t favour consumption over saving, as happens with investment taxes and wealth taxes,” the report said. “It also means few or no targeted tax breaks for specific activities carried out by businesses or individuals.”

When a tax system influences investors and businesses to make decisions they otherwise wouldn’t make without those taxes, it causes economic distortions. Continue…

https://tnc.news/2024/10/22/parental-backlash-pushes-ddsb-trustees-to-cement-right-of-public-participation-at-meetings/

Following an outpouring of emails from concerned parents, the Durham District School Board rejected a motion to remove public questions during meetings and instead passed a motion for a report defining the public’s right to participate.

A September Governance and Policy Committee meeting caught the attention of a local parental rights activist group after it caught wind of a recommendation to amend bylaws and remove the question period from the school board meeting agendas.

The DDSB Concerned Parents Facebook group urged its community members to attend the next meeting on Monday when the proposal was up for a vote. The group told its members to send letters to the trustees to vote against removing sections 5.12.13 to 5.12.16 of the DDSB bylaws, which would eliminate “the taxpayers right to ask questions at school board meetings.”

“While I may not attend every meeting or regularly pose questions, I have exercised my right to do so in the past, and I fully intend to protect this right going forward,” the letter said. “As a taxpayer, I believe this proposal infringes on my rights, including my Charter Rights to freedom of expression, which takes precedence over any such policy changes.”

Ontario laws on school board committee meetings include the right for the public to participate in public meetings. However, the laws do not specify that this must be done during a question-and-answer period during meetings.

None of the trustees voted to second the motion to remove the question period from the bylaws, defeating the motion. Continue…

He was in town Monday night and Tuesday to share ideas on how to deal with rampant Jew hatred on our campuses and on our streets.

Minorities less likely than white counterparts to view drug criminalization as racist

https://tnc.news/2024/10/22/minorities-less-likely-drug-criminalization-racist/

The narrative that criminalizing drugs is rooted in racism has been flipped on its head, according to a recent poll conducted in British Columbia with fewer minorities thinking that treating drug use as a crime was racist than their white counterparts.

Mainstreet Research conducted a survey in B.C. last month for the Centre For Responsible Drug Policy and the MacDonald-Laurier Institute asking residents three questions, one of which was “Do you agree or disagree that criminalizing drugs is racist?”

Of the more than 12,000 British Columbians who participated, Indigenous respondents were the most likely to disagree that such a policy was racist, according to the poll’s preliminary findings.

The Drugs and Racial Justice Report has thus far arrived at the opposite conclusion claimed by harm reduction activists and many public health officials as non-white British Columbians overwhelmingly don’t perceive the criminalization of drugs to be racially motivated.

Only 26% of non-white respondents agreed that drug criminalization is racist, compared to the 55% who disagreed. Continue…

Digital ID project Worldcoin introduces new version of tool that scans people’s eyeballs

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/digital-id-project-worldcoin-introduces-new-version-of-tool-that-scans-peoples-eyeballs/

The startup behind the controversial digital ID project Worldcoin, recently rebranded to 'World,' recently presented a new version of 'Orbs,' a tool designed to scan people's eyeballs (irises) in order to identify them.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman isn’t giving up on his controversial digital ID project, Worldcoin. He, or, rather, formally – the startup behind it, that he is behind, i.e., Tools for Humanity – has instead gone for a rebrand.

Worldcoin is now called “World” – so good luck (re)searching that online. Still, “world” combined with the concept of “proof of personhood” and Altman’s name should return some interesting results.

What we already know is that World(coin) works by hoovering up people’s most sensitive, unique biometric data, particularly that contained in their eyes. The original idea was to incentivize people to participate by offering some crypto change in return.

But now, the focus is reported to have moved away from that (apparently failed) direction to producing iris-scanning devices. The task of those is still “proof of personhood” – tech that provides digital ID. And a recent event held in San Francisco heard all about it.

Tools for Humanity presented a new version of “Orbs” – a tool designed to scan people’s eyeballs (irises) in order to identify them. Continue…

RCMP and DEA investigations linked Wedding's networks to Iranian encryption communications and Venezuela's Margarita Island, a command center for Hezbollah's narco-terror operations

Ryan James Wedding’s reputation as a daring Canadian Olympic snowboarder, with the imposing frame of an NFL linebacker—6-foot-3 and 240 pounds—only heightened his powerful aura as he descended into a deadly new career as a violent cocaine smuggler for the Sinaloa Cartel.

Operating under aliases like “Giant” and “Public Enemy,” Wedding is accused of orchestrating drug trafficking operations across North America, coordinating vast shipments of cocaine from Latin America to Canada. However, focusing solely on his outlaw-biker physique overlooks the true source of his stature in transnational criminal networks.

According to The Bureau's investigations, Wedding’s turn from world-class athlete to Northern Narco in the early 2000s was facilitated by his intimate connections to elite Iranian money launderers in Vancouver. These ties positioned him within a nexus of Hezbollah-linked networks and Latin American cartels, leveraging bases of operation in Canada and South America to threaten American security while moving cocaine and methamphetamines through cities from Miami to Los Angeles.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/nonpartisan-bill-gates-pours-50-million-back-kamala/

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has quietly funneled a staggering $50 million into a nonprofit backing Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign.

According to the far-left New York Times, Gates’ donation to Future Forward USA Action, a “dark money” group that doesn’t disclose its donors, is his largest political contribution yet.

Despite his ‘bipartisanship and neutrality’ claims, it seems Gates, who has been busy talking about climate change and vaccines, is suddenly very interested in the outcome of the upcoming election—especially after Elon Musk’s recent bombshell statements about why billionaires are so keen to back Harris.

“I support candidates who demonstrate a clear commitment to improving health care, reducing poverty, and fighting climate change in the U.S. and around the world,” Gates told the NY Times.

“I have a long history of working with leaders across the political spectrum, but this election is different, with unprecedented significance for Americans and the most vulnerable people around the world.”

Deeply Unpopular Canadian PM Trudeau Now Faces a Rebellion in His Own Party – Pressured To Resign, He Struggles To Remain at the Helm Until Next Year’s Elections

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/deeply-unpopular-canadian-pm-trudeau-now-faces-rebellion/

Globalist poster boy and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is having to use his considerable skills as a political survival in an almost daily base now, as his government is floundering in the polls.

After overcoming two non-confidence votes in Parliament in the last weeks, Trudeau now will face an internal rebellion by MPs from his own Liberal party.

Canada’s deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland has come public yesterday to say that she believes Justin Trudeau has the support of a majority of Liberals in Parliament.

Freeland and other Cabinet members voiced support for the prime minister on Tuesday ahead of a broader – and potentially troublesome – meeting with colleagues, after a number of Liberals have signed a letter hoping to persuade Trudeau to step down before the next election.

At this point it is unclear how many MPs signed the letter.

Eastern Europe is on the move, with some heads of state bucking the globalist trends emanating from Brussels and Strasbourg.

The BBB format – meaning Belgrade, Bratislava and Budapest – has gathered, with Serbia’s Aleksandar Vucic, Slovak Roberto Fico and Hungarian Viktor Orbán showing a unified front on many issues, from migration to the war in Ukraine.

The three leaders affirmed today their efforts to curb illegal migration into the European Union, once again stating that ‘protecting the bloc’s external borders was the best defense’ and that more EU funds were needed for this work.

The illegal crossings through the western Balkans fell 79% year-on-year to just under 17,000 in the 2024.

ELECTION INTERFERENCE: Team Kamala Harris Colluding with Far-Left British Political Operatives to “Kill Musk’s Twitter”- Musk Responds with Fiery Message

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/election-interference-team-kamala-harris-colluding-far-left/

The real foreign interference in this election is not coming from Russia but rather from Harris campaign officials colluding with political operatives from arguably America’s closest ally, The United Kingdom. And the world’s richest man is right in the bullseye.

As The Gateway Pundit has tirelessly reported, the Harris-Biden regime has been relentlessly trying to put Musk ‘in his place.’ Biden-Harris’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been baselessly investigating Elon Musk’s lawful purchase of X/Twitter in 2022 and is also suing him.

To make matters worse, the SEC announced last month they would sanction Musk after he refused to appear in court for testimony regarding his acquisition of X/Twitter, even though his testimony had already been rescheduled for early October.

Paul Thacker and Matt Taibbi have now exclusively obtained documents that reveal that British political operatives advising Kamala Harris’s campaign have launched plans to destroy X/Twitter because Elon Musk has dared to make the social media platform a place where free speech can flourish. This explosive expose was published on Thacker’s substack The DisInformation Chronicle.

Internal documents from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) demonstrate that the group plans in writing to “kill Musk’s Twitter” while deepening relationships with the Harris-Biden regime. They are also aligning themselves with pro-censorship Democrats like Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, who has introduced multiple bills to destroy Internet free speech under the guise of stopping “misinformation” and “fake news.” Continue…

In a huge and surprise development, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has specified and verbalized what could be a first concrete step toward ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

He told journalists in Kiev this week that both sides should mutually agree on halting all aerial attacks on energy targets and cargo ships, and that this could pave the way for negotiations to end the war.

The comments were first reported by Financial Times on Tuesday, which quoted the Monday remarks as follows: "when it comes to energy and freedom of navigation, getting a result on these points would be a signal that Russia may be ready to end the war." Continue…

New Zealand In The Crosshairs Of US Intelligence Leak Investigation

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/new-zealand-crosshairs-us-intelligence-leak-investigation

New Zealand has been implicated in the leak of classified documents which outline the United States’ assessment of Israel’s plan to attack Iran.

According to White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, President Joe Biden is “deeply concerned” about the leak.

One of the documents says it was compiled by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), while the other appears to have originated from the National Security Agency (NSA).

The two documents, marked “top secret,” were shared within the Five Eyes intelligence alliance of the United States, Britain, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.

They include the acronym FGI, standing for Foreign Government Intelligence.

They were published on an Iranian-aligned Telegram account called “Middle East Spectator” last week, but Kirby said there was no “indication” that any additional documents will “[find] their way into the public domain.”

New Zealand has recently been the victim of several successful hacks by foreign powers. The Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB), the country’s intelligence agency, recently suffered a $7 million (US$4.7 million) budget cut.

Iran has a large and sophisticated cyber-warfare capability, so the possibility of a hostile hack is being investigated by U.S. intelligence agencies and the FBI. Continue…

In keeping up with the global easing frenzy, and also in keeping with its promises from last month when it said to "expects further cuts", moments ago the Bank of Canada - home of what may be the world's biggest housing bubble - stepped up the pace of interest-rate cuts and signaled that the post-pandemic era of high inflation is over when the central bank cut the benchmark overnight rate to 3.75% on Wednesday, the biggest reduction in borrowing costs since March 2020 during the early days of the pandemic.

The Bank of Canada started easing borrowing costs with a quarter percentage-point reduction in June. It cut again by 25 basis points at each meeting in July and September. The next and final rate decision for this year is on Dec. 11, when some economists already project another 50 basis-point cut.

One week after China's military launched massive encircling drills around Taiwan, widely dubbed in international press reports as 'record-setting', another round of smaller drills has kicked off Tuesday.

Importantly, Niushan Island is the closest point between China's coast and Taiwan, lying about 66 miles from the self-ruled island. The timing is also just two days after the US and Canada each sent a warship through the Taiwan Strait on Sunday. Continue…

The University Health Network (UHN) is making masks mandatory as respiratory illness season ramps up.

Starting on Oct. 28, visitors to UHN sites will need to wear a mask when receiving or waiting for care.

“This requirement applies to patients, visitors, and staff. You must also still wear a mask in areas where many patients may be at a higher risk of illness,” the hospital network said in a note posted on its website.

Masks will still be optional in common areas such as lobbies and food courts.

UHN includes Toronto General Hospital, Toronto Western Hospital, Toronto Rehab, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and other sites.

Dr. Susy Hota, medical director of infection prevention and control at UHN, told CP24 Monday that the masking policy is aimed at trying to head off the next wave of infection going into winter. Continue…

Free speech for terrorists: How Canada shields dangerous extremists

https://www.rt.com/india/606045-india-canada-rift-western-double-standards/

The diplomatic standoff between New Delhi and Ottawa highlights the bias of Western powers, which advocate security cooperation globally while harboring elements that openly threaten other nations

India-Canada ties have seriously broken down. The responsibility for this lies squarely on the shoulders of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. And the spokesperson of India’s External Affairs Ministry has said so officially.

In September 2023, Trudeau stated on the floor of the Canadian Parliament that there were “credible allegations” that agents of the Indian government were involved in the killing on Canadian soil of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, an individual who was declared a terrorist by the Indian government. Nijjar had an Interpol red notice issued against him, was on the no-fly list in Canada, and had his bank accounts frozen there.

Nijjar had sought Canadian nationality based on a forged passport since 1997. His application was rejected three times, but eventually he obtained it in 2007. His terrorist affiliations can be judged from the fact that he celebrated on video about the killing of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, a former Indian army chief, the former chief minister of Punjab and others. He is believed to have links with Pakistan, where he was photographed carrying an AK-47.

India has remonstrated with Canada time and again about its indifference to New Delhi’s persistent pleas to control these violent extremists on its soil who threaten India’s security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. These people have held referendums for an independent country carved out of India’s Punjab state. They have issued death threats against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and burnt him in effigy. They have also issued death threats against the Indian ambassador in Ottawa, and displayed his photograph ridden with bullet holes. Continue…

Ottawa held a ceremony to honour the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack on Parliament Hill on Tuesday as well as a moment of silence in the House of Commons.

The attack left a young reservist dead and happened only days after a warrant officer was killed in Quebec.

Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was shot to death on Oct. 22, 2014 at the age of 24 while guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Parliament Hill. He was a member of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.

He was murdered by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, a terrorist who also shot at Cpl. Branden Stevenson, who was a long-time close friend who was also guarding the site with Cirillo that morning.

Zehaf-Bibeau injured several others before storming inside Parliament Hill’s Centre Block, firing off dozens of rounds before he was eventually gunned down by Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers and six other RCMP officers. Continue…
