Microsoft Pulling Major Conference Out of Seattle Due to Rampant Homelessness and Open-Air Drug Use

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/microsoft-pulling-major-conference-seattle-due-rampant-homelessness/

Public policies have consequences. Microsoft is pulling their major ‘Build’ conference out of Seattle because their members are tired of tripping over homeless people and junkies.

So now the city will lose a major source of revenue because they refuse to enforce laws and keep the city clean and inviting.

Think of all the working people in the city who are going to lose wages and tips because the leaders place more value on the dregs of society who contribute nothing of value. Continue...

If China secures the CopiaPort-E project, it would turbocharge Beijing’s trade in South America—not only enabling CHINAMAX megaships, but allowing all shipping to completely bypass U.S.-controlled chokepoints and dominate hemispheric commerce virtually overnight.

Former U.S. Special Forces Officer Rescues Burmese Families as China-Backed Military Crushes Myanmar Villages

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/former-u-s-special-forces-officer-rescues-burmese/

Inside a concrete schoolhouse that once echoed with children’s laughter, an elderly woman sits against painted yellow walls, tears streaming down her weathered face. Her family members can’t walk, she explains through sobs to the American missionary-soldier kneeling beside her. They need help evacuating before the bombs start falling again.

This heartbreaking scene unfolded yesterday in southern Shan State, Myanmar, as thousands of civilians fled their homes after Burma Army forces launched a systematic assault on villages east of Pekhon Lake. Leading the rescue efforts is retired U.S. Army Major David Eubank, founder of Free Burma Rangers, whose teams of American/international volunteers and ethnic resistance fighters fare risking their lives to evacuate the wounded and displaced.

The House Oversight Committee is turning up the heat on Neville Roy Singham, the shadowy billionaire and alleged Chinese Communist Party asset accused of bankrolling the radical left’s most disruptive street agitators.

In a bombshell move announced on Tuesday, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) confirmed that the Committee will issue a formal document request to Singham over his alleged financial support of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) — the extremist Marxist group believed to be behind the violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.

“Thanks to the investigative work of Data Republican, House Oversight will issue a formal document request to Neville Singham regarding his funding of a communist group linked to the LA riots and the CCP,” Luna wrote on X.

She continued, “IF HE REFUSES TO APPEAR, HE WILL BE SUBPOENAED, AND IF HE IGNORES THAT HE WILL BE REFERRED TO THE DOJ FOR PROSECUTION.” Continue...

After Ukrainian drones attacked the Russian strategic bombers and – most importantly – after Kiev’s intel services collapsed a bridge on top of a civilian passenger train, everyone has been waiting for some major retaliation from Moscow.

A few days ago, a report arose that President Vladimir Putin’s threatened retaliation is likely to be a significant, multi-pronged strike, according to U.S. officials.

Canadian Unemployment Rate Has Now Hit 7%

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/canadian-unemployment-rate-has-now-hit-7

Canada’s unemployment rate rose to 7% in May — its highest in over eight years, excluding the pandemic — with just 8,800 jobs added, according to the Financial Post..

Full-time employment increased by 58,000, offset by a decline in part-time work. Private sector jobs grew by 61,000, while public sector employment fell by 21,000 due to fewer temporary hires after April’s federal election.

The Financial Post writes that manufacturing lost 12,200 jobs last month, contributing to a four-month decline of 55,000. Transportation and warehousing also shed 15,000 positions. Employment grew in wholesale and retail trade, utilities, finance, and real estate but dropped in manufacturing, public administration, and accommodation and food services.

Economists say the rise in unemployment is partly due to U.S. tariffs dampening hiring, with trade-sensitive regions like Windsor (10.8% jobless rate) and Oshawa (9.1%) hit hardest. Indeed Canada noted job postings have remained steady since February but are lower in trade-impacted areas. Continue...

Foreign Meddling: US Ambassador Lobbies Israeli Ultra-Orthodox Against Forcing New Elections

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/foreign-meddling-us-ambassador-lobbies-israeli-ultra-orthodox-against-forcing-new

As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling government coalition stands on the brink of being toppled by a bill that would dissolve the country's parliament and force new elections, US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has controversially inserted himself into the country's domestic affairs by lobbying ultra-Orthodox members of Netanyahu's coalition - urging them to rethink their plans to vote in favor of the measure.

The rebellion by the ultra-Orthodox parties springs from their anger over the prospect of ultra-Orthodox youth being included in the country's military draft - after having been exempt from conscription since Israel's 1948 founding. Last summer, Israel's Supreme Court ruled that the government must start drafting the Haredi men, who typically dedicate their entire lives to religious study. Since then, the ultra-Orthodox have been pushing hard for the Knesset to pass legislation to render the Supreme Court decision on the subject moot. With the IDF poised to conscript 54,000 Haredi yeshiva students in July, the parties have been boycotting various votes and are now poised to tip the scales in favor of new elections.

According to polling, Netanyahu would be thrown to the curb in a new election. Enter Huckabee. The former Arkansas governor and fervent Evangelical Christian Zionist has been meeting with senior Haredi politicians, imploring them to give Netanyahu more time to solve the draft crisis. His pitches reportedly include a caution that “government stability is important for dealing with the Iranian issue.” (Pursuing a resolution of tensions over Iran's nuclear program, Trump administration diplomats will have a sixth round of talks with Iranian counterparts on Sunday in Oman's capital, Muscat.) Another report has Huckabee telling ultra-Orthodox leaders that "Washington will have difficulty supporting Israel during an election period," though it isn't clear what means, exactly. Continue...

Russia's Arrival In Dnipropetrovsk Puts Ukraine In A Dilemma

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russias-arrival-dnipropetrovsk-puts-ukraine-dilemma

It’s very difficult to imagine how Ukraine can prevent any further Russian advances after this...

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Sunday that their forces had entered Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk Region, which Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed is part of Putin’s buffer zone plan. This was foreseen as early as late August once the Battle of Pokrovsk began but has been achieved even without capturing that strategic fortress town. Russian forces simply went around it after breaking through the southern Donbass front. This development puts Ukraine in a dilemma. Continue...

Israeli Navy Conducts Major Strikes On Houthi-Controlled Port For 1st Time

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/israeli-navy-conducts-major-strikes-houthi-controlled-port-first

On Tuesday Israeli Defense minister Israel Katz has warned Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis that they could face a complete naval and air blockade if they do not halt attacks on Israel. This comes after several weeks ago President Trump withdrew American forces from engaging in the Red Sea theatre against the Houthis, having declared a US-Yemen ceasefire.

Israel's military has just conducted its eleventh strike on the Houthis, but in a first of the conflict, this came first by sea rather than air. The Israeli Navy conducted its first-ever large-scale ops against the Houthis, targeting the port of Hodeida in western Yemen with long-range guided missiles fired from Sa'ar 6-class corvettes.

The IDF called the attack "unprecedented" - given that it was carried out from hundreds of kilometers away, or about 1,800 km from Israel, according to local media reports. The Israeli Air Force had long been active in Yemen operations, but not naval assets. Continue...

Mexican Senate President Revives Territorial Claims Amid Los Angeles Civil Unrest

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/mexican-senate-president-revives-territorial-claims-amid-los-angeles-civil-unrest

On Monday, Mexican Senate President Gerardo Fernández Noroña publicly displayed an 1830 map of Mexico during a press conference, emphasizing that Mexico once held sovereignty over California, Texas, and much of the modern-day U.S. Southwest.

Noroña's gesture could be viewed as a nationalist provocation, subtly reinforcing irredentist intentions at a time when foreign nationals and dark-money-funded, Marxist-aligned NGOs are sparking civil unrest in Los Angeles—widespread looting, arson, and violent clashes with both local and federal law enforcement.

"We'll build the wall and pay for it. But we'll do it according to the 1830 map of Mexico... Mexicans were settled in these territories before the U.S. The Mexicans living there are in what has always been their homeland," Noroña emphasized.

U.S. Conservative legal scholar Randy Barnett wrote on X, "So I guess it's an invasion then, and these are enemy aliens. Attention SCOTUS." Continue...

Suicide hotline in Canada encourages disabled woman with PTSD to commit assisted suicide

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/suicide-hotline-in-canada-encourages-disabled-woman-with-ptsd-to-commit-assisted-suicide/

An impoverished survivor of child abuse suffering from PTSD and chronic pain was told by a Canadian suicide hotline operator that assisted suicide is ‘legit’ and maybe ‘something you should consider.’

A jaw-dropping story published by the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition revealed that a disabled woman having suicidal thoughts called a suicide hotline for help – and was told to consider “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAID).

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

A disability rights advocate in Canada says her friend called a suicide hotline during a difficult time because she wanted to live; instead, the operator told her MAID might be a good option for her since the medical system was “failing” her.

Her friend instead turned to others who helped her to receive the care she needed for pain and mental illness, and she did not choose to end her life.

Many Canadians have testified that MAID has been suggested to them as an option when they were seeking financial help, mental help, or even assistance for a disability.

THE DETAILS:

Meghan Schrader, a disability rights self-advocate who regularly campaigns against assisted suicide, said her friend, “Amy” (a pseudonym) – an impoverished survivor of child abuse suffering from PTSD and injuries that cause chronic pain – struggled with suicidal ideations after MAID was legalized in 2021 and had reached out to Schrader. She correctly recognized that MAID would pose a threat to her as a disabled person.

Eventually, Amy was struggling enough to call a suicide crisis hotline for indigent Canadians. Amy wanted to live – but instead of helping her to find support and resources, the operator instead told her:

“Well, MAID is a legit and legal option. Maybe it’s something you should consider. The medical system seems to be failing you. And you are never going to get the opiate pain medication that you think you need.”

Horrified, Amy reached out to Schrader and another disability rights advocate, who stepped up to provide her with the support she needed. That made all the difference, as Schrader explained: Continue...

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/mark-carney-pledges-1-5-million-in-taxpayer-funds-for-lgbt-pride-parades-in-canada/

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced $1.5 million in funding to increase 'safety' at 'pride' parades, as many corporations are pulling funding from LGBT groups.

Liberals under Prime Minister Mark Carney are spending $1.5 million to make LGBT parades “safer.”

During the June 10 “pride” flag raising ceremony on Parliament Hill, Mark Carney lamented backlash against the LGBT movement this June, while promising an additional $1.5 million in funding for pride parades.

“One of the strengths of Canada is recognizing that people can be who they want to be and love who they want to love. The federal government – we are the defenders of those rights,” Carney said.

“Unfortunately, around the world, there’s a backlash struggling against the progress that has been made,” he continued. “In this time, Canada will always stand up for the vulnerable and the equal rights we cherish. We can take pride in how far we’ve come but we should also recognize there’s far more to do.”

As a result, Carney announced he would send $1.5 million taxpayer dollars to Fierté Canada Pride, the organization that represents local groups which organize pride parades across the country. Continue...

Ukraine membership out of NATO summit statement – Bloomberg

https://www.rt.com/news/618974-nato-summit-drop-ukraine-pledge/

The US-led bloc is seeking to limit friction between Washington and other members, the media outlet has reported

The prospect of Ukraine joining NATO will not be mentioned in the declaration at the bloc’s summit later this month, Bloomberg has reported. Kiev has long sought to become a member of the US-led organization, an aim that Russia views as a threat to its national security.

The one-page draft statement, which was seen by the outlet, focuses solely on NATO’s spending goals, Bloomberg reported on Monday. The document could still be subject to change.

The summit in The Hague will reportedly include only a dinner with the king of the Netherlands and a single working session. The “brevity” of both the declaration and the gathering is reportedly designed to minimize potential public disagreements between US President Donald Trump and other NATO leaders.

“Notably absent from the statement is the prospect of Ukraine joining the military alliance,” Bloomberg wrote.

Last year’s military assistance pledge worth $45 billion will not be renewed either, the report added. In July 2024, then-Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg urged the bloc’s members to make a multi-year commitment to keep providing military aid for Kiev. Annual spending across the bloc should have amounted to €40 billion ($45 billion) each year under that scheme. Continue...

Doctor Files Lawsuit Against BC Health Authority, Alleging Unsafe Conditions, Bullying at Work

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/doctor-files-lawsuit-against-bc-health-authority-alleging-unsafe-conditions-bullying-at-work-5870945?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_cnt=b

A B.C. emergency room doctor has filed a lawsuit against her former health authority, alleging she faced unsafe conditions at work and was harassed after posting a sign advising patients about hospital wait times.

Dr. Kaitlin Stockton said she lost her job over the sign after it drew negative attention. She has filed a notice of civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court, seeking more than $600,000 for wrongful dismissal, as well as bad faith, aggravated, and punitive damages.

Stockton had worked for more than seven years as an emergency room (ER) physician at two Fraser Health hospitals: Royal Columbian Hospital, and Eagle Ridge Hospital, in the Vancouver suburbs of New Westminster and Port Moody, respectively.

In the lawsuit, Stockton accuses the health authority of creating unsafe conditions for patients and staff, alleging that health-care workers tried to bring attention to the “unsafe” environment and “substandard patient care” resulting from overcapacity and resource shortages.

According to the lawsuit, ER physicians and nurses are “regularly subjected to verbal and physical abuse by patients” and there have been “several instances” of patients bringing weapons into the ER and medical personnel being attacked while walking to and from their vehicles on hospital grounds.

In her lawsuit, Stockton says Fraser Health did not respond to the complaints or make workplace changes. Continue...

Canadian Military Surpassed 2025 Recruitment Goal, 55 Percent Increase Over Year Prior

Canada’s military welcomed 6,706 new regular force members in the 2024-2025 fiscal year, marking a 55 percent increase from the previous year, to exceed its recruitment goal of 6,496.

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) has experienced “significant growth” in recruitment of regular force members compared to the 4,313 members gained in 2023-2024, and the 3,927 members gained in 2022-2023, the Department of National Defence told The Epoch Times in a June 10 email.

The number of regular force members grew by approximately 2,000 members from April 1 last year to March 31 this year when accounting for attrition, the department said. The CAF had 65,154 regular force members and 23,561 primary reserve members on April 30, and it anticipates reaching 71,500 regular force members and 30,000 primary reserve members by 2032.

Personnel shortages have plagued the CAF in recent years, with former Defence Minister Bill Blair calling it a “death spiral” in March 2024. New recruitment policies have been implemented since then, including a probation period for new members while their medical and security assessments are being completed.

While intake has increased, the CAF has faced issues retaining the new members, according to a leaked military report obtained by CBC News and covered in May. The attrition rate of new members is double that of the rest of the force, with recruits expressing frustration about the lengthy wait prior to receiving training.

One the biggest complaints among departing recruits is the perceived misalignment of the organization’s focus on cultural change rather than on operational requirements, the report noted. It also said an office to focus on retention had been defunded. Continue...

VERY SAD: Grok Is Using a Far-Left “Fact Check” website to Smear and Censor Conservative Outlets on X with ‘Low Credibility’ Label – But Lists Far-Left and Liberal Mainstream Outlets as ‘High Credibility’

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/very-sad-grok-is-using-far-left-fact/

For years, several top conservative outlets have been censored and smeared on Twitter and X.

It is clear that X is using algorithms and outside leftist groups to smear and censor conservative websites on X.

The Gateway Pundit may be one of the top censored publications on X today. Before The Gateway Pundit X account was banned in 2021 after the 2020 election, we were one of the most popular conservative accounts on the platform. Then, during COVID and following the 2020 election, we were censored, banned, and silenced.

We asked @Grok, the Twitter X AI program, why we were censored on X back in 2023. Grok responded that it was because The Gateway Pundit is labeled a far-right website known for publishing “controversial” content and “conspiracy theories.” Grok also told us their information came from Media Matters for America – the far-left website whose mission is to eliminate conservative voices on TV, in print media, and on social media. Grok was using a 2017 Media Matters opinion piece that reported on 20 TGP articles to smear us as “controversial” and pushing “conspiracy theory.”

The fact that Twitter-X was using Media Matters to censor conservative websites was surprising to us since Elon Musk and Twitter are suing Media Matters for lying to advertisers about the social media giant.

Recently, Grok and X have apparently turned to a new source to determine which media outlets are blocked and censored and which outlets get the green light.

What we found was very disturbing.

Grok and X are now working with the far-left “fact check” website Media Bias-Fact Check website to determine what outlets are trustworthy versus those that have “low credibility.”

This is just astonishing! Continue...

Attorneys inside the Bondi Justice Department have launched inquiries into one of the Centers for Research in Emerging Infectious Diseases or “CREID grants awarded to Scripps Research Institute scientist Kristian Andersen, by Tony Fauci in 2020.

Anderson is now in the process of fleeing the United States for a position being created for him at the University of Oslo before too many eyes are pointing in his direction.

Dr. Kristian Anderson should be worried.

In 2020, Dr. Tony Fauci bribed Anderson to change his position on the COVID lab leak as the origin of the pandemic. After his call with Dr. Fauci on February 1, 2020, Dr. Anderson was given a $1.88 million grant and $16.5 million in funding from NIAID, Dr. Fauci’s personal piggy bank.

The nation’s largest retail company may be about to receive the Bud Light treatment thanks to a woke billionaire heiress.

As the New York Post reported, Christy Walton, the widow of John T. Walton, who was one of the sons of the Walmart founder Sam Walton, funded a full-page ad in the far-left New York Times promoting a massive protest of President Trump across America.

As TGP readers know, Trump is scheduled to hold a historic military parade on that day to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Army.

The ad calls on Americans to “mobilize” on Saturday, which is both Flag Day and Trump’s birthday, to “reject authoritarianism.” The “No Kings” movement is the group running the ad.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier on Wednesday that entrepreneur and political commentator Patrick Bet-David (PBD) revealed Democrats and their NGO allies are planning over 1,500 coordinated protests across all 50 states—a setup, he warns, designed to sabotage President Trump and ignite another wave of nationwide unrest heading into the midterm election.

Some of these are reportedly tied to Christy Walton. Continue...

These protests, which are expected to become violent, are meant to disrupt law and order, vilify President Trump, and demonize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for doing its job.

Muhammad Shahzeb Khan is charged with supporting ISIS and attempting terrorism on Jews in Brooklyn. He came to Canada in 2023 on a student visa, then filed for asylum as a purported homosexual.

Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, a Pakistani national, was extradited from Canada to the U.S. on Tuesday on charges of supporting ISIS and attempting terrorism.

Last fall, Khan allegedly plotted a mass shooting at a Brooklyn Jewish Center for October 7, 2024, the anniversary of the Hamas attack in Israel. He planned to travel from Canada to New York to carry it out.

"Thankfully, the great work of FBI teams and our partners exposed those plans and shut them down—and Khan was arrested by Canadian authorities on September 4, 2024," wrote FBI Director Kash Patel in a statement on X.

RCMP arrested Khan while he was en route to the U.S. from southern Québec. He came to Canada in June 2023 on a student visa, then filed for asylum as a purported homosexual.

His status was unknown at the time of apprehension. Continue...

Two Trudeau-appointed senators defect to Conservative caucus

https://www.rebelnews.com/two_trudeau_appointed_senators_defect_to_conservative_caucus

Senators Mary McCallum and David Richards join the Conservative caucus after previously sitting as non-affiliated members.

Trudeau appointee Sen. Mary Jane McCallum (Manitoba) joined the Conservative Senate caucus, the second Trudeau-appointed senator to do so this month.

Cree Senator McCallum, of Barren Lands First Nation, joined the Conservative caucus after consulting with chiefs and community leaders. "I feel strongly that this is a crucial step in building bridges."

The defection follows the appointment of Charles Adler, a controversial radio commentator, to the Red Chamber as a Manitoba Senator last September 17. He previously called Indigenous constituents lazy "boneheads," prompting pushback.

New Brunswick Sen. David Richards joined the Conservative caucus last week, reported CBC News.

Opposition Senate Leader Leo Housakos praised Senator McCallum as a principled leader and strong advocate for Indigenous communities. "Her expertise and unique perspective will be invaluable as we work to strengthen the Senate's role as a forum for open debate… and meaningful dialogue reflective of all Canadians."

McCallum, in a statement to the public broadcaster, urged "greater collaboration" and "mutual understanding" of Indigenous perspectives across the political spectrum.

McCallum and Richards joined the Conservative caucus after previously sitting as non-affiliated members. Before 2014, all Senators were party-affiliated. Continue...

150 babies were born alive after botched abortions in Canada the past two years

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/150-babies-were-born-alive-after-botched-abortions-in-canada-the-past-two-years/

In 2023-2024, 150 babies were born alive after botched abortions in Canada, with no clear data on their survival or care, raising concerns about legal protections for infants.

One hundred fifty babies have been born after botched abortions in 2023-2024 in Canada, but it is unknown how many survived.

According to a June report by the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD), Canadian doctors reported 150 live births of babies over 20 weeks resulting from abortions from 2023 to 2024.

The DAD, managed by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), revealed that 112 of the babies, excluding data from Quebec, were between 20 weeks and 24 weeks, the age of viability for an unborn baby.

This means that babies born alive after a botched abortion under 24 weeks were likely left to die as medical interventions would not be able to save them at such a young age.

The records further show that the remaining 11 babies born alive, excluding Quebec numbers, were born between 25 and 29+ weeks. It is not known if these babies were given care or left to die.

In Canada, abortion is legal until the moment of birth, leaving the unborn to the mercy of radical abortion doctors.

According to Section 223(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada, a child becomes a human being “when it has completely proceeded, in a living state, from the body of its mother.”

Once born alive, the infant is legally recognized as a person with the same rights as any other Canadian, including the right to life, liberty, and security under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

However, there are no laws directly protecting babies born alive after a botched abortion. Continue...

Canada issues ‘Places of Pride’ stamps celebrating ‘2SLGBTQIA+’ history

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canada-issues-places-of-pride-stamps-celebrating-2slgbtqia-history/

The stamps were designed by LGBT artist Tim Singleton. His Instagram page includes posts reading 'everyone has an HIV status' and 'there's no place like homo.'

While some organizations are dropping their support for LGBT causes, the Canadian government is pushing full steam ahead by releasing stamps to celebrate “pride.”

On May 29, the Canada Post, a government-run organization, announced it is issuing “Places of Pride” stamps to mark “pivotal moments” in LGBT history.

“Canada Post announces Places of Pride, recognizing four vital places for 2SLGBTQIA+ in Canada,” the group wrote in a press release.

“From early meeting spots to safe spaces for community organizing, these spaces were often the backdrop to pivotal demonstrations and hosted events that shaped 2SLGBTQIA+ communities across the country – and Canadian society,” it continued. Continue...

Canadian man faces no jail time for child pornography, judge says collection ‘modest’ in size

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canadian-man-faces-no-jail-time-for-child-pornography-judge-says-collection-modest-in-size/

Judge Andrew Tam said at sentencing that because Mark Keenan's child porn collection was not large, his case was different from others.

A Canadian judge declined to give a man caught with child pornography on his electronic devices jail time and instead placed him under house arrest because he said the man’s porn collection was “relatively modest” in size.

Mark Keenan, 54, of Kelowna, British Columbia, who had pleaded guilty to possessing and distributing child pornography, was given a conditional sentence of two years minus one day.

However, the man will not serve his sentence in jail but under house arrest for the first 18 months of his sentence. During the remainer of the sentence, Keenan will be bound by a 6 p.m. curfew, meaning he is free to go about in the community during the day. He will also be on probation for a year after his sentence has run out and must also give police a DNA sample.

According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Keenan’s home was searched in 2018 after information about his social media presence on Tumblr was brought forth. After the search, a total of six images of graphic child pornography of boys between nine and 16 were found on his electronic devices. One of the images depicted an adult man touching a child’s genitals. Continue...

Canada takes in record number of asylum seekers

https://www.rebelnews.com/canada_takes_in_a_record_number_of_asylum_seekers

Soaring to fourth among global asylum destinations, Canada’s ranking was unveiled in a recent United Nations Refugee Agency report.

Canada has vaulted to the fourth-largest recipient of asylum seekers worldwide, with a staggering 174,000 new refugee claims recorded in 2024, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR). This record-breaking influx, which pushed Canada up one spot globally, signals a critical juncture for the nation’s immigration policies and its capacity to sustain such volumes.

The UNHCR data paints a stark picture: Canada welcomed over 800,000 newcomers in the first four months of 2025 alone, including 132,100 permanent residents, 194,000 study permits, and 491,400 work permits. While Canada’s humanitarian legacy has historically been admirable, this surge is straining housing, health care, and social services, leaving many Canadians questioning the government’s strategy.

Sabia enforced the 2022 bank account freeze on Freedom Convoy protesters, subsequently ruled unlawful.

Prime Minister Mark Carney appointed Michael Sabia, a former World Economic Forum associate, as the top civil servant, Clerk of the Privy Council. Sabia enforced the 2022 bank account freeze on Freedom Convoy protesters, later deemed unlawful by a 2024 judge.

Carney appointed Sabia, citing his extensive public and private sector experience, to help achieve the government's goals of creating the strongest G7 economy and reducing living costs. Sabia will start the $371,000-a year position July 7, according to the Epoch Times.

The Clerk of the Privy Council serves as the head of the federal public service and is also secretary to the cabinet, an advisory role to the prime minister and elected officials.

"Prime Minister Carney asked me to take on this role at a time when the country is facing some unprecedented challenges," said Sabia in a statement. "In that context, I am joining the federal government to tackle these challenge[s] head on." Continue...

Bilderberg Before Budget: Finance minister heads to Stockholm for secretive meetings

https://www.rebelnews.com/bilderberg_before_budget_finance_minister_heads_to_stockholm_for_secretive_meetings

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne will attend the 2025 Bilderberg meetings in Stockholm, Sweden.

While listed as attending the 2025 Bilderberg Meetings, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne would not confirm his participation when questioned in the House of Commons.

“Is the Minister of Finance planning on travelling to the Bilderberg meetings this week using taxpayer dollars?” Conservative MP Dean Allison asked on Tuesday. “I’m very proud to answer questions from my colleague,” replied Minister Champagne, though he proceeded to deflect.

Champagne will attend the Bilderberg meeting in Stockholm, Sweden, from June 12-15, according to the organization's website.

MP Allison questioned the finance minister about prioritizing Bilderberg meetings over budget presentation. “He seems to be very interested [in] where I am going,” replied Champagne.

Cabinet initially stated no budget would be tabled in 2025, having survived a confidence vote on the matter. Prime Minister Mark Carney clarified the budget will be tabled in the fall.

The Prime Minister faced scrutiny regarding his prior involvement with the Bilderberg Group, an exclusive, annual gathering of influential figures that fuels speculation about covert manipulation of global affairs.

Carney, a former Bilderberg steering committee member who claims to be a Liberal outsider, participated in meetings with Henry Kissinger and Jared Kushner, notably at the 2019 Montreux gathering. He also joined Minister Champagne last year in Madrid, Spain.

Though billed as an open forum on world issues, the secretive Bilderberg Meetings have sparked both curiosity and suspicion. While the 2024 agenda covered climate change and the future of warfare, this year emphasizes depopulation and migration, Ukraine, artificial intelligence, and more.

The Bilderberg Meeting, governed by the Chatham House Rule, is an annual gathering of over 150 influential political, financial, and industrial leaders, as reported by True North.

Funded privately with corporate backers, the organization has limited information available, though attendee lists reveal notable figures. Participants can’t be identified by the comments they make.

“Why is Carney’s Finance Minister being so secretive about spending taxpayers’ money to travel to the Bilderberg Conference rather than actually doing his job and tabling a budget?” asked Conservative MP Chris Warkentin on social media.

“This is such an odd exchange,” added MP Aaron Gunn. “Why is he dodging the question?”

Conspiracy theories allege the Bilderberg Group seeks a "New World Order" or global dictatorship, often connected to the UN, WHO, Bohemian Grove, and Club of Rome.

Bilderberg is alleged by some to be a shadow government influencing global affairs, with Mark Carney's ascent to prime minister and his involvement with the World Economic Forum presented as evidence.

Despite claiming to exit international roles like Bilderberg upon taking office, Carney's vague departure has created ambiguity. He also left Brookfield Asset Management in January, shortly before announcing his move to partisan politics.

Social media users on X have accused the Bilderberg Group of orchestrating his leadership, alleging "foreign interference," according to the Western Standard.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/saskatchewan-alberta-to-resume-purchase-distribution-of-us-liquor-5871559?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_cnt=b

Saskatchewan will begin purchasing and distributing U.S. liquor again months after removing products from the shelves in response to U.S. tariffs. The move follows a similar decision made by Alberta where the government said it too would be allowing retailers to stock American products again.

The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) said the move would allow it to both sell current stock and purchase new supplies for alcohol retailers in the province.

Spokesperson David Morris said it would allow for the sale of products that were taken off the shelf after U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs were announced, adding that it would give consumers choice between buying local or buying U.S. liquor.

Ottawa still has a 25 percent tariff on U.S. alcohol, Morris said, adding to the product cost. Continue...

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/g7-nations-favour-canada-as-their-primary-oil-provider-poll-finds-5871950?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_cnt=b

Canada has been named the top preferred oil supplier among G7 nations, according to a newly released poll.

When asked to evaluate eight potential suppliers, participants from G7 countries placed Canada among the top three 68 percent of the time, making it the most frequently ranked supplier out of the options available, the Ipsos poll released on June 11 found.

The results come ahead of the summit next week in Alberta’s Kananaskis Country, which will see leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) nations come together to discuss trade and other political and economic topics. The G7 is made up of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Canada edged out Norway to top the poll, while the nordic country trailed by just two points, garnering 66 percent. It was the only country that came close to matching Canada’s popularity as a supplier.

The Middle East was well behind in third place with 47 percent, followed by Mexico at 40 percent, and the United States at 34 percent. Venezuela was sixth with 26 percent, while Russia took seventh place with 18 percent and China took last place with 17 percent.

Canada’s popularity rose 3 percent since the 2023 poll when it tied for first place with Norway. Only two countries experienced major changes between the two polls. The Middle East’s fortunes rose 12 percent from 35 percent in 2023, while opinions about the United States plummeted nearly 30 percent from the 60 percent it received in 2023. Continue...

Major players on the international stage will be descending on Canada next week for the G7 Summit, which is already rich in storylines before even kicking off.

A sizable amount of new baggage exists between some of the leaders, and the event will also feature many fresh faces.

Among the seven-member countries of the group of advanced economies, there has been significant change since last year’s conference, with five leaders having been replaced in elections.

Only French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni are making a return to the summit this year, to be held in Kananasksis, Alberta, from June 15 to 17.

New governments were elected in the United Kingdom and Germany, and Japan’s ruling party changed its leader in an internal vote.

Closer to home, Prime Minister Mark Carney, who was a regular in international circles and organizations before entering politics and winning the recent federal election, will have the task of hosting the summit and ensuring it runs smoothly while attempting to make progress on some key relationships.

The most consequential election in the G7 was that of U.S. President Donald Trump, and it will no doubt be the objective of Carney and other leaders to work on that relationship as a priority. Trump has upended global trade with his tariffs agenda, and shook some international files by taking a different approach from that of his predecessor.

Close U.S. ally Canada has not been spared, having been hit with three different sets of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Continue...

From manufacturing fentanyl precursors, to operating unofficial Chinese police stations on Western soil, to recruiting academics abroad to gain access to foreign technologies needed to advance Beijing’s goals, China’s infiltration of North America runs “deep,” says a Canadian investigative journalist.

The problem of China’s operations in Canada drew renewed attention last month when FBI Director Kash Patel said Beijing is among the hostile regimes working with cartels to smuggle fentanyl into the United States through Canada.

But this issue has long been simmering, investigative journalist Sam Cooper said in a recent interview with Jan Jekielek, host of The Epoch Times program “American Thought Leaders.”

Cooper said Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members and its proxies have for years been involved in “dark alliances” with global Chinese triad actors, some of them “strongly set up” in cities like Toronto, Vancouver, as well as Markham and Richmond, part of the Greater Toronto Area and Metro Vancouver respectively.

“I’ve been following China’s deep infiltration of North America for years,” Cooper said.

“The CCP is involved in fentanyl trafficking. As I know, and as my elite experts in North America and the West say, no one is like the Chinese Communist Party in terms of the inseparable integration with transnational organized crime.” Continue...

The former CEO of the Canadian subsidiary of China’s largest bank says he was instructed to “ignore” Canadian law and “circumvent” Canadian regulators, alleging he was fired for not following these directions.

Lubin Wang, 51, former head of ICBK, the Canadian subsidiary of the state-owned Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), China’s largest bank, filed a lawsuit in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for wrongful dismissal earlier this year, alleging he was pressured to scale back or abandon efforts to comply with Canadian regulations.

Wang says his efforts to reform ICBK’s operations to comply with recently adopted Canadian legislation—including the Foreign Influence Transparency and Accountability Act, passed in 2024, and a 2023 law expanding federal oversight of regulated institutions—were met with “opposition and obvious discontent” from senior leadership at ICBC, the bank’s parent company in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

According to the lawsuit, a team of foreign nationals from a “special department located in the PRC” audited the Toronto-based ICBK at the end of October 2024.

While interviewing Wang as part of the audit, the group “went from asking questions to criticizing him for not following ICBC’s instructions, which included certain directives to ignore Canadian law and circumvent Canadian regulators,” the lawsuit says.

It adds that “after criticizing Mr. Wang for failing to follow directions from the PRC, [the audit team] then forcefully instructed Mr. Wang to amend the decision-making process of the bank, as well as some other important business procedures, despite the fact that doing so would place ICBK at odds with Canadian regulatory requirements.” Continue...

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/how-government-regulations-have-affected-oil-and-gas-sector-investments-5870872?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_cnt=b

There is currently momentum in Canada to grow the economy through major projects, including around energy, but the jury is still out on whether enough can be done to reform regulations to attract the necessary investments.

While investments in Canada’s oil and gas sector fell alongside oil prices since 2014, investments in the sector didn’t bounce back to the same extent as before even after prices recovered.

The new Liberal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney has shown early signs of flexibility toward the oil and gas sector, by including “conventional energy” in its plan to make Canada an “energy superpower” and by tabling legislation aimed at circumventing—in rare cases—the Impact Assessment Act, a controversial federal legislation which places further regulatory requirements on major projects.

On the other hand, Ottawa has said it won’t veto provincial or First Nations‘ objections to pipeline projects, saying it would work by “consensus.” The comment comes in the context of provinces such as British Columbia and Quebec historically opposing pipeline projects sought by provinces such as Alberta and Nova Scotia.

Pro-pipeline premiers such as Danielle Smith and federal Conservative politicians have said that under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Liberal government enacted laws that impeded the development of resource projects, made it more difficult to export oil to Asia, and increased operating costs for oil companies through carbon pricing. They blame federal policies for the cancellation of billions of dollars in projects in the energy sector. Continue...

Iran has withdrawn from nuclear talks with the United States, which were scheduled to take place on Sunday in Oman.

The meeting was cancelled on Friday in response to Israeli attacks on high-rise buildings and nuclear facilities in and around Tehran.

President Donald Trump and his administration had been working for months to reach a deal with Iran, reportedly urging Israel to hold off strikes as the negotiations were ongoing. The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to strike during a phone call on Monday.

Iranian news outlet Ahram reports that the talks have been suspended “until further notice.”

The Iranian government believes the United States was involved in the attack despite statements to the contrary made by the Trump administration, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Continue...

On Friday morning Israeli military forces attacked several locations in Iran including residential areas in the capital, Tehran. Several explosions were heard across the country.

At the same time, images of several locations in Tehran being targeted were posted on social media. The Israeli Minister of War issued a decree declaring a special state of emergency on Friday morning.

The international news reported Thursday that numerous countries recalled their officials from many embassies in the Middle East prior to the anticipated Israeli strikes.

Video allegedly captured an Israeli jet being refueled over Syria on its way back to Israel.

Israel reportedly hit Iran a second time on Friday. The Israeli attacks could last for two weeks.

Denmark’s Parliament Approves Legislation Authorizing US Military Bases on Danish Soil, as Trump Eyes Greenland Annexation

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/denmarks-parliament-approves-legislation-authorizing-us-military-bases/

The Danish have caved and will allow US bases in their territory.

When US President Donald J. Trump expressed his desire to gain control of the island of Greenland, it took most by surprise, and generated a panic in the kingdom of Denmark.

While the former colony and present semi-autonomous territory has belonged to the Danish for centuries, the geopolitical situation may cause a historical shift.

Greenland is located between North America and Europe, making it vital for monitoring Russian military activities, particularly ballistic missile threats and naval movements through the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom (GIUK) gap.

The U.S. already operates Pituffik Space Base in northwest Greenland for missile defense and space surveillance under a 1951 defense agreement with Denmark.

It provides access to the Arctic Ocean and emerging shipping routes, made accessible by melting ice, with a vital role in tracking Russian and Chinese naval activities.

“For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.” — Donald Trump, statement on Truth Social, December 2024.

And it’s in this context of a Trump pressure to take control of Greenland that Denmark’s Parliament yesterday approved a bill to allow U.S. military bases on Danish soil.

In a new legal memorandum filed with the New York Supreme Court, Fox News accused Smartmatic executives - including CEO Antonio Mugica - of "spoliation of records" related to the high-stakes lawsuit, which stems from Fox’s coverage of the 2020 election.

The conservative network pointed to explosive internal communications to support its claims.

"On the eve of filing this lawsuit, and while the U.S. Department of Justice was investigating Smartmatic and its executives for bribery and corruption, Smartmatic’s CEO Antonio Mugica, in writing, ordered Smartmatic’s President Roger Piñate Jr. - who has since been federally indicted for those crimes - to delete WhatsApp mobile messages discussing critical damages issues surrounding the outlandish $2.7 billion the company planned to seek from Fox," the filing states.

Just days earlier, Fox alleges, "a top Smartmatic executive, again in writing, directed his subordinates to doctor key customer records to manufacture support for the massive damages case Smartmatic had invented."

The legal salvo also claims Smartmatic employees went on a mass deletion spree. Continue...

Ukraine hasn't yet received 'prohibited' firearms from Canada, says Ottawa

https://www.rebelnews.com/ukraine_hasn_t_yet_received_prohibited_firearms_from_canada_says_ottawa

On December 5, the federal government expanded its prohibited firearms list and vowed to send confiscated firearms to aid Ukraine's war effort against Russia.

Ottawa has yet to deliver confiscated firearms from the federal "buyback" program to Ukraine, despite vowing to do so late last year, according to CBC News.

On December 5, the eve of the Polytechnique massacre anniversary, the federal government expanded its prohibited firearms list by 324 models, bringing the total to roughly 2,500 firearms, parts, and accessories.

The Liberals announced the same day that they would send confiscated firearms to aid Ukraine's "fight for democracy" against Russia. Continue...

Experts urge Canada to halt COVID-19 vaccines

https://www.rebelnews.com/experts_urge_canada_to_halt_covid_19_vaccines

Canadian doctors, scientists, and health professionals call for mRNA COVID-19 injections to be stopped immediately in Canada, as the U.S. is already rapidly changing course.

More than 80 scientists, clinicians, and other health professionals across Canada have signed an Open Letter calling for an immediate halt to the use of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, citing mounting concerns over their safety, quality, and effectiveness.

The letter, which has already drawn over 6,000 public supporters, was sent in recent weeks to public health officials and elected representatives across the country. It demands a full stop to the injections, an independent and transparent public inquiry, and more research into potential health risks.

"Evidence questioning the quality, efficacy and safety of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines continues to mount," the letter states.

The campaign behind the letter, called Call to Halt-19, was organized by two Canadian advocacy groups: the Canadian Citizens Care Alliance (CCCA) and Réinfo Québec. Their goal is to shine a spotlight on what they believe are unresolved scientific and safety issues and to pressure officials into action.

Bernard Massie, PhD, a biotechnologist with experience in vaccine development, one of the letter’s signatories, issued a blunt warning: "These new and ill-tested mRNA vaccines produce more harm than good and need to be promptly recalled and reevaluated." Continue...

Pro-freedom group launches petition to stop Carney’s bill to ban cash donations

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pro-freedom-group-launches-petition-to-stop-carneys-bill-to-ban-cash-donations/

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms said its petition is about keeping 'cash legal and accessible' in Canada.

A new bill from Canada’s Liberal Party under Prime Minister Mark Carney that looks to ban cash payments over $10,000 is facing growing opposition after one of the nation’s top constitutional legal groups launched a petition to stop it.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) said its petition to stop Carney’s Bill C-2, or the Strong Borders Act, is about keeping “cash legal and accessible.”

“Cash is under attack in Canada. When cash is criminalized, governments, banks, and law enforcement can track and interfere with legitimate purchases and donations,” the JCCF said.

The JCCF observed that cash allows Canadians to have “privacy, autonomy, and freedom of expression.”

“Cash means freedom from surveillance: by government, by banks, by credit card companies, and by other businesses,” the group warned.

As for the JCCF petition that can be signed here, it states, “We, the undersigned, call upon the Prime Minister of Canada to introduce legislation that protects Canadians’ right to use cash of any amount for legal transactions.”

Bill C-2 was introduced on June 3 by Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree. Continue...

Trump urged to defend tax exemption status of Christians, pro-lifers in Canada

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/trump-urged-to-defend-tax-exemption-status-of-christians-pro-lifers-in-canada/

The Campaign Life Coalition asked U.S. President Donald Trump to help protect Canadian Christians and pro-life groups from Liberal government legislation threatening their charitable status.

Pro-life organization Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) has called on U.S. President Donald Trump to protect Christians and pro-lifers under attack by Canada’s Liberal government.

During a June 12 press conference in front of the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, CLC appealed to Trump to intervene to prevent Liberals from passing legislation that would strip Christian and pro-life organizations of their charitable status.

“These proposals amount to nothing less than a direct attack on Canada’s religious and pro-life communities,” CLC president Jeff Gunnarson declared.

“If adopted, churches, Christian charities, pro-life groups, and pregnancy care centres could face devastating consequences: loss of charitable status, funding cuts, forced closure — and even a punitive ‘revocation tax’ allowing government seizure of their assets,” he warned.

“Mr. President, we ask that you speak up — clearly and firmly — and take a stand for Canadian citizens whose rights, freedoms, and institutions are under attack,” Gunnarson added.

CLC presented Trump with a public letter asking him to defend Christians and pro-lifers under threatened by the Liberal legislation at the upcoming G7 summit.

CLC also submitted a petition, signed by 20,000 Canadians, “demanding that Prime Minister Mark Carney immediately and unequivocally reject the proposals and protect the rights and freedoms of religious and pro-life organizations.” Continue...

Roger Foley shared that staff at London Health Sciences Centre have repeatedly pressured him to consider euthanasia (MAiD) for nine years despite his objections.

A disabled Canadian man revealed that staff in the hospital where he has been staying for the past nine years are badgering him to end his life through euthanasia.

In a June 13 interview with LifeSiteNews, Roger Foley, a disabled Canadian man, shared his experience at the London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC), where he says staff repeatedly suggest he received Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).

“They (hospital staff) have resumed pressing suicide and MAiD questioning upon me, despite my repeated objections and pleas not to push it on me,” he revealed.

“Staff have become so fixated and inappropriate with pushing suicide-related questions that they’ve asked them while I was undergoing bloodwork and even during the cleaning of a bowel movement from my bed,” Foley shared.

According to Foley, his caregivers regularly ask him if he is “suicidal,” which he says is a leading question to discuss MAiD.

“They try to with suicide questioning every now and then, but I won’t engage with them because I know from my history in the hospital that their suicide questions lead to them bringing up MAiD,” he explained.

Foley, who is well known for speaking out against the injustice of Canada’s euthanasia regime, suffers from spinocerebellar ataxia, an incurable brain disease that makes it difficult to move.

As a result, he requires caregivers to assist him in eating, drinking, and getting up. According to Foley, his caregivers mistreated him while caring for him at his home. In 2016, Foley was admitted to the LHSC for food poisoning and has been there ever since.

Over the past nine years, Foley revealed that he has repeatedly been offered MAiD despite his desire to be released from the hospital and return home with the help of caregivers.

Last month, Foley began enduring even more pain when the LHSC switched out the amber lights in his room for bright bulbs. Foley, who is light sensitive, is now in so much pain that he is unable to be lifted for meals. Continue...

John A Macdonald statue at Toronto park finally uncovered after 5 years despite Indigenous opposition

https://thepostmillennial.com/john-a-macdonald-statue-at-toronto-park-finally-uncovered-after-5-years-despite-indigenous-opposition

The statue of John A. Macdonald at Queen’s Park in Toronto is now visible again after being covered for five years, a move that has drawn criticism from Indigenous leaders.

The wooden boarding that surrounded the monument since 2020 was taken down on Wednesday, following a vote by a legislative committee last month to remove the covering. The statue had been vandalized with pink paint during nationwide protests that targeted symbols linked to Canada’s colonial past as well as the residential school system.

Sol Mamakwa, a residential school survivor and the only First Nations member of the Ontario legislature, has been vocal in opposing the decision. “It's not just a statue,” he said following the committee’s vote, according to the CBC. “It's a statue of oppression. It is a statue of colonialism. It is a statue of Indian residential schools.”

Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister, played a key role in designing the country’s residential school policy, which forcibly separated Indigenous children from their families and communities to assimilate them into Western culture.

Before the boarding was removed, children’s shoes that had been placed at the base of the statue in memory of the alleged unmarked graves at residential school sites. The shoes were “carefully and respectfully” taken away and stored, according to a statement issued by Speaker Donna Skelly.

“As Speaker, I recognize the sensitivities surrounding the history of Canada's first Prime Minister and I welcome all Ontarians to express their views — peacefully,” Skelly said. “Violence and acts of vandalism will not be tolerated, and the Legislative Protective Service will actively monitor the statue and grounds.”

Skelly also said she hopes a committee will approve a new monument to honor residential school survivors and invited Mamakwa to join that committee.

The statue was one of several across the country depicting the nation's first prime minister that was defaced. A notable statue in Montreal's Place du Canada was torn down by anti-Canada protesters who also decapitated the statue.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/judge-rules-alberta-trustees-removal-was-disproportionate-the-board-made-legal-error-5872216?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_cnt=b

An Alberta judge has ruled that a school board’s decision to disqualify a trustee over comments he made toward two school division employees was “disproportionate,” and that the board erred in law by requiring him to issue an apology of a specific nature.

Justice Eleanor J. Funk of the Court of King’s Bench issued a ruling on June 11, saying that the Peace River School Division in northwest Alberta did not have a factual basis to justify its decision to disqualify former trustee Moise Dion.

Dion was disqualified in September 2024 after the board determined he had engaged in “discreditable conduct.” He had faced two separate code of conduct complaints for comments directed at two employees, which the board described as “inappropriate.”

“The Board failed to make any findings regarding what comments Mr. Dion made, other than being ‘inappropriate’ and in a ‘harsh tone,’” reads the decision. “Without making the necessary factual findings to underpin its decision to disqualify Mr. Dion, the Board’s decision was unjust, disproportionate, and excessive.”

While the document does not specify what comments Dion made, his lawyer, James Kitchen, told The Epoch Times the first complaint stemmed from Dion raising concerns about the secretary-treasurer’s performance. The second complaint, meanwhile, was related to Dion questioning the school deputy superintendent’s ability to provide legal advice based on the Education Act, Kitchen said.

The judge also ruled the board erred in law when it required Dion to issue an “appropriate” apology for the comments he made, saying the quality of the apology could not be objectively weighed. Continue...

Elections Canada Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault is being called before the House of Commons Affairs Committee to address irregularities that occurred in the April 28 federal election.

The committee has unanimously passed a motion that requests a review of any changes that may be needed in the implementation and interpretation of the electoral process, along with how the Canada Elections Act is enforced.

The motion, introduced by Bloc Québécois MP Christine Normandin, calls for a thorough assessment of the federal electoral process, including potential changes to the Canada Elections Act, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter. The motion passed without dissent.

Normandin said the Canadian public and party representatives can also testify before the committee if they “noticed something during the election.”

Liberal MP and committee chair Chris Bittle said the committee will seek to have Perrault appear on June 17, noting that “if there are other witnesses we will need to have that as soon as possible.”

A USAID official and three government contractors pleaded guilty to a decade-long bribery scheme involving over $550 million in contracts, according to the Justice Department.

According to court documents, beginning in 2013, USAID official Roderick Wilson agreed with corporate executive Darryl Britt to receive bribes in exchange for Watson’s influence to award contracts to a small business named Apprio and its subcontractor Vistant.

Watson received more than $1 million in bribes to steer no-bid contracts to Apprio and Vistant.

A race-based government program that allowed ‘socially and economically disadvantaged businesses’ to bid on contracts made this massive scheme possible.

“As a certified small business under the SBA 8(a) contracting program, which helps socially and economically disadvantaged businesses, Apprio could access lucrative federal contracting opportunities through set-asides and sole-source contracts exclusively available to eligible contractors without a competitive bid process,” the DOJ said.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/los-angeles-childrens-hospital-shutting-down-transgender-youth/

The Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) has announced that it will shut down the Transyouth Health and Development program by the end of July.

The move comes amid mounting federal pressure to stop mutilating and sterilizing children in the name of “gender science.”

There have been reports that CHLA is under investigation by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for potential violations of new federal guidelines issued by the Trump administration regarding sex changes for minors.

The hospital is one of the few in the nation that will provide sex change surgeries and hormones to kids under 18 who receive taxpayer-funded healthcare.

“Federal agencies, including the Department of Justice, Health and Human Services, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, have made it clear there will be consequences, potentially civil and criminal, for entities pushing irreversible procedures on vulnerable minors,” the hospital wrote to staff.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/no-climate-no-gender-canadas-g7-summit-agenda-shows-shift-in-priorities-5872348?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_cnt=b

This year’s agenda reflects a change influenced by Trump’s return to the White House and a renewed focus on the G7’s original mission, experts say.

When President Donald Trump joins world leaders at the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Canada on June 15, he’ll find a different agenda awaiting him. In a significant departure from recent years, the host nation is sidelining climate action and gender equality, issues that were once central to the summit’s mission.

This year’s gathering will prioritize issues such as energy security, artificial intelligence (AI), critical mineral supply chains, and global economic stability, reflecting a shift in priorities driven by Trump’s return to the White House and a renewed focus on the G7’s original mission, according to experts.

Trade tensions, heightened by recent U.S. tariffs, along with geopolitical crises like the Israel–Iran escalation, the Russia–Ukraine war, and the Gaza conflict, will also be key topics in the leaders’ discussions.

Many believe Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, as the host of this year’s summit, is adopting a pragmatic approach to ensure the meeting addresses the most pressing challenges that resonate with all member countries.

If topics such as climate change or gender are raised, leaders are unlikely to go beyond existing agreements or make new commitments, Paul Samson, head of the Centre for International Governance Innovation, a Canada-based think tank, told The Epoch Times.

Many organizations and even some countries are hoping for new commitments on gender and climate, he noted, “but it’s not going to happen at this table.” Continue...

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) was “community noted” on X after apparently presenting eight-month-old footage of bombs raining down on Tel Aviv as new footage of Friday night’s attack.

This comes after Iran reportedly attacked Israel in response to the Jewish state launching a preemptive aerial campaign against Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran issued a response to Israel’s attack on Friday night.

Israel released a video on Friday, supposedly showing the missile barrage they faced, but part of the video appears to be from an October 2024 attack.

“Israel is under attack,” the text read on the footage from almost one year ago. There’s no denying that Israel is facing attacks in response to theirs, but why the need to share a fake video?

After Saturday reports widely said that Israel requested direct US military assistance in attacking Iranian nuclear sites, President Trump in fresh comments to ABC News has begun to change the White House tune a little, as he now says it's 'possible' the US 'could get involved' in the Israel-Iran conflict.

He told ABC's Rachel Scott that "it's possible we could get involved" - however he emphasized that the US military is "not at this moment involved" in the conflict. He pivoted to calling for peaceful resolution, saying the US would be "open" to Russian President Vladimir Putin being a mediator in. "He is ready. He called me about it. We had a long talk about it," Trump said. Of course, he campaigned against new wars starting and said these major conflicts would not have happened if he was president. Continue...

Old White Boomers By Day, Antifa By Night: 'No Kings' Color Revolution

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/old-white-boomers-day-antifa-night-no-kings-color-revolution

Strikes between Israel and Iran have escalated significantly in both scale and lethality, with Tehran deploying hypersonic missiles in direct attacks against Israeli cities. In response, the Israeli Defense Forces have executed a coordinated air campaign targeting key pillars of the Iranian regime's operational capacity—most notably the IRGC's crude oil export infrastructure, high-value military assets, and critical command-and-control facilities (strike roadmap laid out last fall). The scope and precision of these strikes suggest a deliberate strategy to degrade the regime's ability to function both economically and militarily, potentially placing the IRGC on a quick crash course toward systemic failure.

Simultaneously, within the U.S., a separate destabilization force unfolded this weekend. Continue...

The Canada Border Services Agency said it has seized more than $400,000 worth of cocaine hidden in shoes being transported into Canada at the Pearson International Airport.

The agency said the traveller caught with the 3.5 kilograms of drugs was arriving from Guyana, but told The Epoch Times in an email it could not disclose the individual’s citizenship due to the Privacy Act. The street value of the drugs has been estimated at $437,000.

The cocaine was found using contraband detection technology, according to the email from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). It said that some of the technology used by the agency include ion mobility spectrometry, x-rays, and Narcotic Identification Kits.

The traveller and the drugs were handed over to Ontario RCMP, CBSA said.

Earlier this year, CBSA seized more than $11 million worth of cocaine that was being shipped into Canada.

The drugs were discovered in two separate shipments from the United States to Canada, CBSA said at the time. Continue...

Mark Carney’s first big test on the world stage

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/15/mark-carney-g7-alberta-trump-00406353

At a turbulent moment in global geopolitics, Canada’s new prime minister welcomes Trump and G7 leaders to Alberta.

In Canadian diplomatic circles, “Charlevoix” is shorthand for summit disaster. Avoiding a repeat of the 2018 summit that Donald Trump set ablaze is job one for Prime Minister Mark Carney this week as he hosts G7 leaders.

Carney came to power by campaigning openly against Trump’s belligerence. But now he has a direct line to the president, with whom he’s negotiating an economic and security deal.

It’s a high-wire good cop/bad cop routine — and the rookie politician is playing both roles on home soil.

“Carney really does have to square a circle,” said Louise Blais, a senior special adviser on U.S. and international affairs at the Business Council of Canada. “Canadians feel bruised by the president. So he’s got to be nice, but not too nice.”

Blais warned that Trump could easily be distracted by a cold welcome from angry and frustrated Canadians who don’t want him on their side of the border. Even if protesters won’t get near the summit, demonstrations are sure to make news.

“We know that the president pays attention to the media, so I just hope that Canadians give the prime minister a little bit of grace to navigate this summit,” she said.

Carney welcomes his counterparts and a phalanx of other world leaders and influencers amid a swirl of crises in the Middle East and Ukraine, widespread tariff consternation and social unrest on America’s streets.

Add to that list the shocking back-to-back shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers in their homes — and a deadly Air India disaster. There’s a lot to disagree about, and even more to be distracted by. Continue...

Shanghai Billionaire Connected to Chinese Communists and Husband of Code Pink Founder Is Behind the Recent Anti-Ice Riots

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/shanghai-billionaire-connected-chinese-communists-husband-code-pink/

In August 2023, The New York Times published a rare informative and honest journalism. The New York Times wrote exposed the so-called anti-war group Code Pink as a Communist China shill or front group.

Kristinn Taylor reported at the time.

Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans, 68, has deep roots in the Democratic Party, having served as the campaign manager for the 1992 presidential campaign of former California Governor Jerry Brown. In the 2008 presidential campaign, Evans served as a host for Obama fundraisers in Hollywood with her then husband Max Palevsky (who passed away in 2010 at age 85) and as a campaign bundler.

Evans married Singham, 69, in 2017.

Fellow Code Pink co-founder Susan ‘Medea’ Benjamin protested against President Trump at his arraignment in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, reported TGP’s Jordan Conradson.

Trump was the only U.S. president to not start any new wars, yet the so-called antiwar group Code Pink stood against him in his first term – and now in his second term.

It is clear Code Pink is not an “anti-war” group. Instead, Code Pink is a shill for the communists. Continue...

Trump Officially Begins Phasing Out FEMA: ‘We’re Going to Give Out Less’

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/trump-officially-begins-phasing-fema-going-give-less/

One of the more controversial arms of the government under the administration of former President Joe Biden could soon cease to exist as anyone knew it.

Biden’s successor, President Donald Trump, has made that much abundantly clear.

The embattled Federal Emergency Management Agency is going to be “wound down,” per the president’s orders, as described by Reuters.

FEMA, which has an annual budget of about $30 billion, will start being phased out as its responsibilities get doled out to other departments.

For example, federal disaster aid funds will now be distributed directly from the White House.

Trump was speaking to reporters on Tuesday when he made his intentions for FEMA crystal clear.

“We want to wean off of FEMA and we want to bring it down to the state level,” Trump said, according to The Hill. “We’re moving it back to the state so the governors can handle it.” Continue...

How Israel Built a Secret Drone Army Inside Iran That Humiliated the Mullahs and Crippled Their Nuclear Program

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/how-israel-built-secret-drone-army-inside-iran/

Israeli officials have confirmed that Mossad built and operated a secret drone base inside Iran, enabling precision strikes that crippled Iran’s nuclear program and eliminated top IRGC commanders.

On June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a sweeping air and drone strike campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear sites, military assets, and senior leadership. With over 200 aircraft and 330 munitions hitting more than 100 targets, it was the largest attack on Iran since the 1980s. But beyond its scale, the brilliance of the operation lay in its covert dimension: Israeli intelligence had secretly positioned drone systems inside Iran, enabling precision strikes that paralyzed air defenses before the first jets arrived.

The operation followed a three-pronged approach that defense analysts describe as a paradigm shift in modern warfare: Continue...

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/hundred-more-christians-massacred-islamists-nigeria-ongoing-genocide/

Fulani Islamic militants have unleashed another round of unspeakable violence on the village of Yelewata in Nigeria’s Benue State.

Over the weekend, attackers stormed homes, locked families inside, and set them ablaze — killing over 100 civilians, including women and children.

The attack, which began late Friday and stretched into the early hours of Saturday, left dozens missing and hundreds injured. With no access to medical aid, survivors watched their communities reduced to ash.

Benue is located in Nigeria’s “Middle Belt,” an important where the Muslim North meets the Christian South.

Foreign-funded jihadist groups and radicalized Fulani herdsmen are pushing southward in deadly waves, slaughtering Christian farming communities under the banner of conquest.

The Yelewata massacre is not an isolated event, but rather a systematic campaign of genocide and extermination. Continue...

Who are the real heroes of Father’s Day?

Canadian MSM never lets up: on the one day of the year you might think “hey, it’s OK to be male”, Canada’s Toronto Star chimes in with a borderline misandrist screed by way of an “opinion” piece by Mark Bulgutch (a former CBC executive producer) – who lectures us that men, fathers, in particular are “the least important character in the delivery room” and the real heroes of the day, are the mothers.

It’s almost as if Mother’s Day, just last month, doesn’t cut it because “Mother’s Day is a child-parent thing” – so, in lieu of a specific day when men honour their spouses who birthed their children, it should be Father’s Day. Get it?

According to Bulgutch: “Father’s Day is set aside so that children can thank Dad. That is completely unnecessary.”

The scope and sequencing of these strikes—outlined in a Wall Street Journal op-ed in October 2024—suggest objectives that go well beyond deterrence, aiming instead to pave the way for regime change in Tehran.

All Eyes On Trump As G7 Summit Begins Amid Middle East Tensions

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/all-eyes-trump-g7-summit-begins-amid-middle-east-tensions

President Donald Trump arrived in Alberta, Canada, on Sunday for the Group of 7 (G7) summit, marking his first major international leaders’ gathering since beginning his second term in January.

Over the three-day summit, Trump will engage with the leaders of the world’s seven advanced economies to tackle pressing economic challenges and escalating geopolitical crises, particularly in the Middle East given the recent escalation to direct conflict.

Air Force One touched down at Calgary International Airport at 8:36 p.m. local time. Trump stepped off the plane donning an overcoat and a white “Make America Great Again” hat.

Alberta, a conservative, oil-rich province, is an intriguing choice for the summit, given an upcoming 2026 referendum on its potential separation from Canada.

The leaders’ summit, which marks the 50th anniversary of the G7, will be held in Kananaskis, nestled in the Canadian Rockies, from June 15 to June 17. Continue...

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/06/16/g7-summit-in-canada-begins-in-shadow-of-iran-ukraine-wars/

Leftist Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is expecting to welcome a host of world leaders to Kananaskis, Alberta, on Monday for the beginning of the annual G7 Summit – expected to address some of the world’s most pressing emergencies, including the ongoing wars in the Middle East and Ukraine.

The summit formally began on Sunday, though the major meetings and discussion are expected to begin on Monday, and is expected to run through Tuesday. The G7 is an organization bringing together seven of the world’s largest economies – America, Britain, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, and host Canada – to primarily discuss trade and diplomacy.

President Donald Trump is expected to attend and hold his second major meeting with Carney after his Liberal Party comfortably won the April 28 general election, as well as meetings with other heads of state. Canadian news outlets reported that Trump’s first head-of-government meeting will be with Carney on Monday morning and the engagement will mark Trump’s first visit to the country during his second term in office.

G7 still thinks it is running the world. The global majority has moved on

https://www.rt.com/india/619413-g7-unity-tested-again-trump/

As geopolitical rifts deepen, the group struggles to find common ground on Ukraine, Gaza, trade, and the climate – raising doubts about its role

The G7 meeting in Canada is likely to put the internal cohesion of the group, which includes the leading Western economies plus Japan, to a severe test. Trump’s America rarely sees eye to eye with the six other countries regarding most issues on the agenda.

As it stands, the relevant weight of this group in providing stability to the global financial system was affected by the 2008 financial crisis, which led to the creation of the G20.

This group of Western powers (with Japan co-opted) that had traditionally dominated the global economic and financial system realised that they could no longer do so on their own, as other economies had emerged whose cooperation to maintain the existing system had become necessary. The goal still was to maintain the global pre-eminence of the G7 by incorporating the emerging economies into the existing globalised system fostered by them.

However, with the geopolitical rivalry with Russia (expelled in 2014 from what had become the G8) becoming intense after its military operation in Ukraine, and China declared as the principal long-term adversary of the US, this goal of preserving the hegemony of the West as much as possible by broadening the base of cooperation through the co-option of select non-Western countries is no longer realistic.

According to a reports, according to Axios, Israel has asked for the US to get directly involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran; however, the president is reportedly not considering direct involvement, as the US has supported Israel indirectly.

An Israeli official earlier told the outlet that the president suggested he would do so if necessary when speaking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, that was disputed by a White House official who said that the administration is not currently considering joining in directly.

Canadian fighter jets were sent to intercept a private civilian plane that breached restricted airspace over Kananaskis, Alta., where the G7 summit is currently taking place.

The fixed-wing Canadian aircraft entered the no-fly zone shortly after 11 a.m. on June 15, prompting NORAD’s Canadian region (CANR) to deploy CF-18 Hornet fighter jets to intercept it, the RCMP said in a press release.

CANR implemented final warning protocols following several attempts to capture the pilot’s attention to ensure the plane could land safely under its own power, the RCMP said, noting that the incident was taken “very seriously.”

Const. Lauren Mowbray said those protocols included the jets firing warning flares at the pilot. The plane was then met on the ground by the RCMP and its partners. Mowbray did not say if the pilot will face charges.

Two NOTAMs (Notice to Airmen) of temporary air restrictions over Calgary and Kananaskis were put in place on June 14 at 6 a.m., and will remain in effect until June 17 at 11:59 p.m., police said.

The RCMP did not disclose the origin or landing location of the plane, saying the investigation is still in progress. Continue...

A church is taking legal action against the city of Saguenay, Que., for evicting the Christian congregation from a public rental space on the grounds of adhering to the province’s secularism law.

The Church of Two Shores had leased a public basement rental space from the city since 2024. City officials recently terminated the lease while referencing the Act Respecting the Laicity of the State, Quebec’s secularism law, according to a June 11 news release from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), which is providing legal support to the church.

City officials had informed the church in March that the city did not authorize religious activities in its rental spaces in order to comply with the secularism act, and notified the church that it must stop religious activities in the public building or face eviction.

When the church told the city it could not gather as a church without engaging in religious activities, the city decided to terminate the rental agreement.

JCCF, a charity founded in 2010 to defend Canadians’ constitutional freedoms, says it is providing legal support to the Church of Two Shores in order to challenge the decision, whose outcome it says could set a “significant precedent” for religious freedom in Quebec. The group is challenging the city’s interpretation of the law.

Passed in 2019, the secularism law aims to confirm the province’s secular status, as well as to prohibit the wearing of religious symbols by civil service employees in positions of authority and by teachers in the public sector. Continue...

Former MP Han Dong and Global News say they have settled their lawsuit concerning allegations that Dong was involved with the Chinese consulate in Toronto.

Amid a flurry of intelligence leaks in the media on Beijing interference in Canada in 2023, Global News reported that Dong told the People’s Republic of China (PRC) that the detention of Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor should be extended.

Dong, who was the MP for the Toronto riding of Don Valley North at the time, subsequently left the Liberal Party caucus and sued Global for defamation.

Global “recognizes the findings of the Final Report of the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference, including that the classified information reviewed by Justice Marie Josee Hogue corroborates that Mr. Dong did not suggest that the PRC extend the detention” of Kovrig and Spavor, a June 15 statement by the media company says.

Global said it published content based on confidential intelligence sources to report on “matters of significant public interest,” adding that it had explained the allegations were “unproven and subject to different interpretations.”

“Mr. Dong has always denied the accuracy of this intelligence,” Global said.

Dong, who did not seek re-election in April, confirmed in a statement the lawsuit has been settled. “After two long years, finally my family and I can move on,” he said.

Dong sued Global in April 2023, seeking $15 million in damages for libel. His lawyers accused the media firm of publishing “malicious, false, and defamatory articles and broadcasts” about Dong. Continue...

Canada’s minister responsible for trade negotiations with the United States says discussions about tariff removal are not advancing quickly enough, casting doubt on the possibility of a deal being announced during this week’s G7 summit.

Trade talks with the United States are “frequent and constructive” but not enough progress has been made since U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canada earlier this year, Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said in a June 15 interview on Global News’ “The West Block.”

“I’m hopeful we'll get there, but it’s not fast enough,” said LeBlanc, who is one of the several key ministers engaged in negotiations with the Trump administration. “Our hope was that we would have made more progress before the president arrived in Alberta for the G7. We haven’t yet hit that sweet spot.” Continue...

Moscow has downplayed the move’s potential impact on the Russian economy.

The European Commission (EC) this week proposed an 18th sanctions package against Russia targeting the country’s energy, banking, and military-industrial sectors.

With the aim of driving down Russian oil revenue, the proposed sanctions package also calls for a further reduction of the G7’s price cap on Russian oil from $60 to $45 per barrel.

The G7 group of nations comprises the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan.

Speaking to reporters on June 10, EC President Ursula von der Leyen said the proposed price-cap reduction would be discussed at an upcoming meeting of G7 leaders in Canada.

“My assumption is that we [reduce the price cap] together as the G7,” von der Leyen said. “We started that as G7, it was successful … and I want to continue this measure as G7.”

Julien Mathonnière, an oil markets economist at the U.S.-based Energy Intelligence Group, said that Brussels is “essentially waging a war of attrition against Russia by adding layer after layer of sanctions, hoping that when critical mass is reached, they will eventually be effective.” Continue...

The prime minister will continue to push the case against tariffs and a defence pact with the European Union.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has raised the prospect of Canada joining Pillar II of the AUKUS pact—the wing of the high-level security agreement focused on sharing advanced military technologies such as quantum capabilities, hypersonic missiles, and artificial intelligence.

“I think that Australia always has a case for maximising our defence and security relationships in what is an uncertain world,” Albanese told reporters in Canada, where he is attending the G7 summit.

“We’re also both Five Eyes countries so there’s a lot of cooperation that occurs already in intelligence,” he said. “What people are looking for is certainty in trusted relationships. Australia and Canada are just such partners.”

Albanese met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to discuss expanding defence ties, including Canada’s proposed purchase of Australian over-the-horizon radar technology.

The pundits, voters and strategists who enabled the Liberals' dishonest campaign must be held to account

The last federal election was not an honest conversation about Canada’s place in the world. It was a performance — slick, poll-tested, and ultimately hollow. Mark Carney presented himself as a principled adversary to Donald Trump, a steward of Canadian sovereignty who would stand up to a dangerous and unpredictable United States. And now, just months into his premiership, he insists “the G7 is nothing without U.S. leadership,” his government has resisted retaliating against American tariffs, and has even expressed desire to join Trump’s Golden Dome missile defence program.

Let’s dispense with the polite fiction: Carney never meant what he said. The campaign rhetoric wasn’t just exaggerated, it was fabricated. There was no principled foreign policy vision, no doctrine of Canadian independence. It was anti-American cosplay, staged for a segment of the electorate that wanted to feel morally superior to our southern neighbours without having to actually think seriously about Canada’s strategic position in the world.

Bank of Canada lost billions for second consecutive year: report

https://www.rebelnews.com/bank_of_canada_lost_billions_for_third_consecutive_year_report

Canada's central bank lost $3.079 billion in 2024, preceded by $5.749 billion in 2023 and $705 million in 2022 — its first record of losses in 88 years.

The Bank of Canada's 2024 annual report reveals ongoing economic uncertainty for the third consecutive year, despite reduced interest rates. It faced significant losses of $3.079 billion in 2024, preceded by $5.749 billion in 2023 and $705 million in 2022, marking its first losses in 88 years.

According to the most recent annual report, the extensive losses transpired because the interest incurred on deposits exceeded the interest earned on investments.

Following a 4.75% increase in the benchmark interest rate from Q1 2022 (0.25%) to Q3 2023 (5.00%), the Bank of Canada (BoC) gradually lowered it to 3.25% by Q4 2024, leading to increased interest expenses on deposits.

The central bank's increased government bond purchases during the pandemic, funded by creating settlement balances, led to asset expansion that costs more than it earns.

In January 2023, C.D. Howe Institute estimated the total losses over the next two to three years would add up to between $3.6 and $8.8 billion. Continue...

Is Washington Preparing for War? U.S. Air Force Reportedly Sends Out Two Mysterious Encrypted Nuclear Emergency Codes

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/is-washington-preparing-war-u-s-air-force/

Over the weekend, the U.S. Air Force dropped not one but two enigmatic Emergency Action Messages (EAMs).

On June 14, a 246-character encrypted code blasted across the High‑Frequency Global Communications System (HFGCS)—the same system used to transmit emergency alerts to our nuclear-capable bombers, missiles, and subs.

The very next day, June 15, another code—this time clocking in at nearly 290 characters—was broadcast .

EAMs usually top out at around 30 characters. These extended transmissions are, quite frankly, unprecedented, according to The Express.

Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) are not casual communications—they are highly encrypted, time-sensitive directives used to convey nuclear-launch orders.

According to U.S. military doctrine, EAMs can initiate Major Attack Options (MAOs) or Limited Attack Options (LAOs), and are cryptographically secured to prevent interception or tampering.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Monday that the FBI has located documents that detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election, including allegations of interference by the CCP.

According to Kash, the communist Chinese were involved in a plot to create thousands of fake mail-in ballots in 2020 using fake voter registrations.

And, it should be clear that China was not creating fake ballots to assist Donald Trump. The Chi-Coms detested Trump and what he had done to their economy. Trump was the only US president in decades to take on the Chinese Communist Party.

Kash tweeted out this report from Just The News on Monday afternoon.

This information was disregarded by the FBI in August 2020.

The stunning success of Israel’s June 2025 “Operation Rising Lion” against Iran revealed the devastating potential of systematic infiltration executed after years of patient preparation. While the world focused on Israeli capabilities, a far more sophisticated campaign has been unfolding on American soil. Mounting evidence suggests that China is conducting operations against the United States on a scale that dwarfs Mossad’s penetration of Iran, creating a vast network of pre-positioned assets that could be activated in a future war with potentially catastrophic consequences for U.S. national security.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/3500-year-history-china-ccp-how-gettr-are/

The China of the modern world that is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is very different from the China of history. In fact the history of China is over three millennia old...

...Conclusion

The CCP’s rise has been defined by its ruthless suppression of free speech and control over information, using fear and censorship to dominate Chinese society. Its infiltration of US and UK institutions, from universities to media, extends this control globally, exploiting democratic freedoms to advance its agenda. Platforms like GETTR, by opposing the CCP and understanding its tactics, offer a counterforce, championing free expression in the face of authoritarianism. As the CCP’s influence grows, the battle for open discourse remains critical to preserving democratic values worldwide.

According to Fox News, President Trump will be meeting with the National Security Council tonight in the Situation Room.

On Monday evening, President Trump issued a terrifying warning to the people in Tehran.

“Iran should have signed the “deal” I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!” Trump said on Truth Social.

At the G7 in Canada, President Trump didn’t just speak—he delivered a headline-making indictment.

Standing alongside Canada’s Prime Minister, he directly blasted Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau, accusing them of committing a “very big mistake” by booting Russia out of the G8. He warned that this move didn’t deter conflict—it unleashed it, and he insists it paved the way for the war in Ukraine.

Before the working sessions began, the two leaders fielded questions. The first topic: the ongoing trade negotiations between the U.S. and Canada. Trump didn’t hesitate to point out that the issue wasn’t personal—it was philosophical. Continue...

TV Networks Face Advertising Apocalypse After Trump Admin Mulls Pharma Restrictions

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tv-networks-face-advertising-apocalypse-after-trump-admin-mulls-pharma-restrictions

Last week independent Senators Bernie Sanders (VT) and Angus King (ME) introduced legislation that would ban pharmaceutical companies from promoting prescription drugs directly to consumers - including through television, radio, print, digital platforms, and social media.

oday, Bloomberg reports that the Trump administration is now 'discussing policies that would make it harder and more expensive for pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to patients.'

Although the US is the only place, besides New Zealand, where pharma companies can directly advertise, banning pharma ads outright could make the administration vulnerable to lawsuits, so it’s instead focusing on cutting down on the practice by adding legal and financial hurdles, according to people familiar with the plans who weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

The two policies the administration has focused in on would be to require greater disclosures of side effects of a drug within each ad — likely making broadcast ads much longer and prohibitively expensive — or removing the industry’s ability to deduct direct-to-consumer advertising as a business expense for tax purposes, these people said.

Two Chinese nationals accused of smuggling restricted biological materials into the United States will remain in custody after waiving their right to a hearing in separate court appearances in Detroit on June 13.

Han Chengxuan, a doctoral candidate from China’s Huazhong University of Science and Technology in central China’s Wuhan city, and Jian Yunqing, a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Michigan, allegedly smuggled the materials for use at the University of Michigan.

On Friday, the two defendants said they would not challenge prosecutors’ request to keep them in detention while their cases progress.

“This is a constantly evolving situation involving a large number of factors,” Han’s attorney, Sara Garber, told a judge. Garber didn’t elaborate and later declined to comment.

Russia overnight unleashed one of its largest and sustained attacks on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv in recent months, resulting in 15 people killed and over one hundred wounded.

The assault, which lasted some ten hours, involved a coordinated barrage of drones, ballistic, and cruise missiles - and severely impacted residential areas, including a direct hit on a nine-story apartment building in the city's Solomyanskyi district.

Part of the building collapsed after being struck by Shahed drones and a ballistic missile. Emergency crews were responding to the smoke-filled scene through the morning hours.

BritCard: Inside Labour's "Progressive" Digital ID

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/britcard-inside-labours-progressive-digital-id

A new report from a British government think tank offers some clear insights into the Starmer administration’s plan to introduce a universal digital ID.

That digital ID – in one form or another – is a major part of the endgame is not any kind of revelation. We’ve known that was the plan for years, but the report tells us quite a lot about how it’s going to be sold to the public.

I guess we should go ahead and dive in.

The Thinktank

The report was published just this week by Labour Together – formerly “The Common Good” – a thinktank founded in “Labour’s wilderness years” to help “make Labour electable again”, according to their about page.

Translation: They’re centrist globalist Blairite shills who helped undermine and destroy the only vaguely genuine movement in the last 50 years of British “democracy” and now publish reports to push a globalist agenda.

According to the Electoral Commission, they received over £ 9 million in donations last year (from only 234 donors), much of which seems to have been “donated” by Labour Together Limited, a for-profit company. The murky world of Westminster finances is not my focus, however, and I’m sure it’s at least passably legal and no more corrupt than is standard practice in those circles.

Exactly how a think tank with eighteen employees, ten advisors, four policy fellows and five board members manages to spend 9 million pounds writing a newsletter a week, a report every two months and doing some online polls I have no idea.

It’s a good question for another time, perhaps. For now, we know everything we need to know – Labour Together are old-fashioned New Labour types shilling for globalist tyranny. Continue...

Trump Dings France’s Macron: ‘Emmanuel Always Gets it Wrong’

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/06/17/trump-dings-frances-macron-emmanuel-always-gets-it-wrong/

President Donald Trump said France’s Emmanuel Macron was “publicity seeking” for speculating on the purpose of his early departure from the G7 conference in Canada.

Emmanuel Macron was “wrong!” for speculating President Trump excused himself from the G7 meeting in Canada a day early because he was going to deal with Isreal-Iran. Macron had said on Monday: “There is indeed an offer to meet and exchange… U.S. assured they will find a ceasefire and since they can pressure Israel, things may change.”

Firing off a statement on Truth Social while returning to the United States, Trump decried Macron for being “publicity seeking” with his speculation on the President’s agenda. He wrote: “Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!”.

The rebuke may be keenly felt, given President Macron is one of those European leaders who has sought to portray himself as a ‘Trump whisperer’, uniquely well placed to achieve sympathetic outcomes for Europe from America-first. Indeed, in contrast to the first Trump Presidency when Euro leaders defaulted to condescending him, these days it is such a highly valued quality former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte was practically offered the NATO Secretary General position for it.

Chaotic G7 Says Goodbye to Trump, Welcomes Zelensky and Modi

https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2025/06/17/chaotic-g7-says-goodbye-to-trump-welcomes-zelensky-and-modi/

The G7 Summit, hosted this year by Canada, is scheduled to continue on Tuesday with the arrivals of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and focus heavily on the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Iran.

Summit attendees published a statement late on Monday expressing support for the state of Israel following its announcement of “Operation Rising Lion” last week, military actions intended to prevent neighboring Iran from attacking Israel with a nuclear weapon. The operation began shortly after the United Nations, through the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), passed a resolution condemning Iran for violating international legal standards on nuclear development. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi revealed prior to the passing of the resolution that his agency had reason to believe Iran was running illicit uranium enrichment facilities and attempting to hide them from IAEA inspectors by “sanitizing” them.

The G7 summit took an unexpected turn on Monday evening as President Donald Trump departed host city Kananaskis, Alberta, reportedly to return to Washington and address Iran’s counterattacks against Israel and the potential escalation of the conflict.

“President Trump had a great day at the G7, even signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State.”

As the news broke of Trump’s departure, the G7 countries issued a statement on the conflict between Iran and Israel, decisively backing Israel’s right to self-defense.

“Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon,” the statement read. “We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.”

“We will remain vigilant to the implications for international energy markets and stand ready to coordinate, including with like-minded partners, to safeguard market stability,” the statement concluded.

Invitees who are not officially members of the G7 — such as Modi, Zelensky, and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung — thus will no longer have an opportunity to meet with the American president. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, hosting his first major international event since winning the April general election, is reportedly scheduled to meet privately with these leaders. Continue...

https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2025/06/16/trump-refuses-to-sign-g7-statement-on-iran-wants-total-end-to-nuclear-enrichment/

President Donald Trump rejected the G7’s proposed statement on Iran because it called for monitoring of Iran’s nuclear activities, rather than an outright halt to Iran’s program of nuclear enrichment.

The Trump administration has been demanding that Iran halt all uranium enrichment, since enrichment past a certain level has no purpose other than developing the unique isotope necessary for nuclear weapons.

Iran has refused to agree, leading to the impasse in nuclear talks — and leading Israel to attack Iran last Friday rather than face the prospect of an imminent Iranian nuclear weapon.

https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2025/06/16/canadian-sikhs-outraged-by-indian-prime-ministers-invitation-to-g7-summit/

Sikhs in Canada were angered by Prime Minister Mark Carney’s invitation to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend this weekend’s G7 summit in Alberta as a guest.

Carney’s predecessor, Justin Trudeau, publicly accused Modi’s government of assassinating Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Vancouver in June 2023.

“‘Outrage’ is the kind of term that I’ve heard from people,” Sikh activist Moninder Singh, a personal friend of Nijjar, told Reuters on Saturday. He said Sikh groups would protest Modi’s presence all the way through the end of the G7 summit.

Those protests started early in Ottawa on Saturday, as hundreds of Sikhs demonstrated against Modi on Parliament Hill. Many of them waved kirpans, the traditional Sikh ceremonial knife, and waved flags of the Khalistani Movement, which seeks to carve an independent homeland for Sikhs from India’s state of Punjab.

Moinder Singh, who was among the Parliament Hill demonstrators, said Modi’s attendance at the G7 summit was a threat to Canadian sovereignty.

“We want everyone in Canada to know that this is not just a Sikh issue. This is actually a Canadian issue, and India using violence, intimidation, threats, and coercion to force Canadians to bend the knee to them and to toe the line that they want toed, whether it’s our politicians, our media, or the average citizen,” he said.

The summits of the group looked like a crowd of “zombies” even a decade ago, the former Russian president has said

The G7 has long lost its relevance and cannot provide a sufficient answer to existing challenges, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said. He also praised US President Donald Trump’s conduct at the latest summit of the group in Canada and his decision to leave early.

“Well Done!” Medvedev wrote in an X post on Tuesday, referring to the American’ president’s actions during the meeting. Trump “scolded” the European members of the group “for kicking out Russia, refused to discuss sanctions, and left,” he said.

During the meeting, Trump stated that removing Russia from the group that was called G8 at the time was a mistake, arguing that the nation’s presence could have helped prevent the Ukraine conflict.

“You spend so much time talking about Russia, and [Russian President Vladimir Putin is] no longer at the table,” Trump told the meeting, arguing that it only “makes life more complicated.”

The US president left the event early, despite having a scheduled meeting with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky, to address the escalation between Israel and Iran, according to the White House. Trump was also skeptical about EU and UK calls for more sanctions against Russia. Continue...

British secondary school teacher Jamie Varley has been charged with the murder and sexual assault of a 13-month-old boy that he and his boyfriend John McGowan-Fazakerley were in the process of adopting.

The couple appeared in Preston Crown Court on Monday, nearly two years after the baby boy, Preston Davey, was pronounced dead at Blackpool Victoria Hospital in 2023. Both defendants were initially arrested, but later released on bail.

Lancashire Police later re-arrested and charged Varley with a slew of offenses including murder, two counts of assault by penetration of a male child under 13 and five counts of child cruelty. He also stands accused of multiple counts of taking indecent photographs, distributing an image and possession of an extreme pornographic image of the victim, as well as other offenses.

His co-defendant McGowan-Fazakerley has been charged with causing and allowing the death of a child, sexual assault of a child, and two counts of cruelty to a child, the police said.

The authorities noted that all of the charges were related to the 13-month-old victim. Continue...

Excess Deaths Still Surging in Nations with Highest Covid ‘Vaccine’ Rates

https://www.truth11.com/excess-deaths-still-surging-in-nations-with-highest-covid-vaccine-rates/

A new analysis of official government data from around the world has revealed that excess deaths are skyrocketing in nations with the highest rates of Covid mRNA “vaccination.”

Excess deaths remain significantly elevated in most Western countries, five years after the pandemic began.

Dr. John Campbell, a medical commentator, is one of the few medical experts asking why.

Campbell raised the alarm on his YouTube show, analyzing excess death data from Our World in Data for 20 countries.

His conclusion: Western nations with high mRNA COVID-19 vaccine usage continue to see unusually high death rates, while countries with lower vaccine uptake or different vaccine strategies are seeing fewer deaths.

“It’s the end of May 2025, and we’re still seeing excess deaths in most Western countries, but not in Eastern countries,” Campbell said.

“What could the difference possibly be?”

According to the CDC, “excess deaths” are the number of deaths above what would be expected based on historical trends.

In the U.S., from 2020 through early 2025, excess deaths remained at least 10% higher than the pre-pandemic average.

In the second half of 2021 through early 2022, they spiked to a shocking 46%.

However, they only started surging after Covid “vaccines” were rolled out for public use in early 2021, and not before.

“We see excess deaths in the United States a bit above the 10% mark for quite a long period of time,” Campbell said.

“This is an ongoing issue compared to 2015 to 2019 levels.”

Western countries such as Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Singapore, and the U.K. also saw death rates hovering around 10% above normal.

Meanwhile, Canada and Ireland faced even worse rates at between 10% and 20%. Continue...

Pro-life heroine Linda Gibbons has been acquitted after she was arrested for witnessing outside a Toronto abortion facility in February.

Alberta pro-life group says health officials admit many babies are left to die after failed abortions

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/alberta-pro-life-group-says-health-officials-admit-many-babies-are-left-to-die-after-failed-abortions/

Alberta’s abortion policy allows babies to be killed with an ‘induced cardiac arrest’ before a late-term abortion and left to die without medical care if they survive.

A Canadian provincial pro-life advocacy group says health officials have admitted that many babies in the province of Alberta are indeed born alive after abortions and then left to die, and because of this are they are calling upon the province’s health minister to put an end to the practice.

Official data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), which is the federal agency in charge of reporting the nation’s health data, shows that in Alberta in 2023-2024, there were a staggering 133 late-term abortions. Of these, 28 babies were born alive after the abortion and left to die.

As noted by Prolife Alberta’s President Murray Ruhl in a recent email, this means the reality in the province is that “some of these babies are born alive… and left to die.”

“Babies born alive after failed late-term abortions are quietly abandoned—left without medical help, comfort, or even a chance to survive,” noted Ruhl.

This fact was brought to light in a recent opinion piece published in the Western Standard by Richard Dur, who serves as the executive director of Prolife Alberta.

Ruhl observed that Dur’s opinion piece has “got the attention of both Alberta Health Services (AHS) and Acute Care Alberta (ACA),” whom he said “confirmed many of the practices we exposed.”

Alberta’s policy when it comes to an abortion committed on a baby older than 21 weeks allows that all babies are killed before being born, however this does not always happen. Continue...

More surgeries are being conducted in Canada now than before the pandemic but wait times have increased, a new report suggests.

The newly released report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information examined the wait times for hip and knee replacements, cataract surgeries, cancer operations, MRIs, and CT scans for the years 2019 to 2024.

It found that increasing health care demands due to population growth and aging, as well as health workforce shortages have led to the increase in wait times. A shortage of health-care personnel, particularly surgical staff, is another element leading to extended wait times.

“Provinces are using many strategies to provide faster access to surgeries, yet wait times for some procedures are still longer than they were before the pandemic,” the report’s authors wrote.

The total number of surgeries across all categories in 2023 increased by 5 percent compared to 2019, the report said. However, this increase failed to keep pace with the 7 percent rise in population and the 10 percent escalation in surgical demand for those aged 65 or older.

Some patients continue to wait longer than the recommended time frames for surgery as a result. Continue...

The joint investigation was conducted by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) and the United Kingdom Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) after a cyber attack affected nearly 7 million 23andMe customers worldwide, including almost 320,000 Canadians and 155,600 people in the UK.

“We decided to launch this joint investigation in light of the international impact of the breach and the highly sensitive nature of the personal information involved,” Canada’s Privacy Commissioner Philippe Dufresne said at a joint press conference with the UK information commissioner in Ottawa on June 17.

The investigation found that a hacker targeted 23andMe’s platform using a “lengthy credential-stuffing attack”—a cyberattack method in which attackers use lists of compromised user credentials to breach into a system.

The attack allowed the hacker to access and download personal information directly from thousands of customers’ accounts on the platform between April 2023 and September 2023, due to a lack of adequate security to protect against unauthorized access to sensitive customer information, Dufresne said.

The compromised data included “highly sensitive” information related to customers’ health, race and ethnicity, geographic location, information about relatives, date of birth, and gender. The investigation also found that the stolen data was offered for sale online. Continue...

Tory MP Kurek Resigns House Seat, Starting Process for Poilievre’s Return

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/tory-mp-kurek-resigns-house-seat-starting-process-for-poilievres-return-5874435?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_cnt=b

Conservative MP Damien Kurek said June 17 will be his last day in Parliament, having advised the House Speaker of his resignation.

Kurek had announced his intention to step down shortly after the April 28 general election. The Alberta MP said on May 2 he would leave the House of Commons to allow Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to run in a byelection in his rural riding of Battle River-Crowfoot.

“I will continue to work with our incredible local team to do everything I can to remain the strong voice for you as I support Pierre in this process, and then run again here in Battle River-Crowfoot in the next general election,” Kurek said in a statement.

Poilievre has remained party leader after losing his long-held Ottawa-area riding of Carleton to the Liberals in the election. He will face a leadership review next year.

Following Kurek’s resignation, Prime Minister Mark Carney will need to set the date for the byelection. He previously said he would not play “games” over the matter and will call it as early as possible. Carney is currently hosting the G7 leaders’ summit in Alberta.

Kurek, who was first elected in 2019, would have been eligible to receive his MP pension had he stayed in the role until October. Kurek has said he will take care of the family farm during his time away from politics. Continue...

A Canadian embassy employee survived a weekend missile strike in Tel Aviv after being pulled from a building located in the Israeli city.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand took to social media to offer thanks to the firefighters who assisted the woman in escaping from one of the numerous buildings that sustained heavy damage in the recent Iranian missile strikes.

“Thank you to the brave firefighters who helped a Canadian embassy staff member in a building that was struck by a missile in Tel-Aviv,” she wrote in an X post. “She was eventually rescued, along with other occupants of the building, and is safe and sound.”

Anand also noted she had a conversation with Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Gideon Sa’ar, adding that “Canada firmly supports Israel’s right to defend itself in the face of Iranian attacks.”

Foreign Policy Canada, which operates under Global Affairs Canada, said in a separate social media post on June 15 that Anand had also spoken with her counterparts in Europe, Jordan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Oman regarding Middle East peace talks.

“She voiced the importance of restraint, de-escalation, and a return to diplomacy,” the June 15 post said. Continue...

Conservatives Vote With Government to Fast-Track Bill C-5 Through House

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/conservatives-vote-with-government-to-fast-track-bill-c-5-through-house-5874394?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_cnt=b

The Conservatives have voted alongside the Liberal government to quickly push legislation through the House of Commons aimed at speeding up major project approvals and reducing interprovincial trade barriers.

The June 16 vote saw 305 Liberal and Conservative MPs vote to limit debate on the legislation, while 30 Bloc Québécois, NDP, and Green MPs voted against it. One Liberal MP, Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, also voted against the motion fast-tracking the bill.

The motion puts forth a rapid timeline for the legislation, passing it to the Transport Committee and giving MPs just three days to debate it, submit amendments, and vote on it before third reading.

Bill C-5 aims to bring down federal barriers to interprovincial trade by stipulating that, when a barrier exists, a good or service that complies with “comparable provincial or territorial rules” will be deemed to satisfy the federal trade requirements in Canada. Businesses that follow comparable provincial and territorial rules will also see costs and delays reduced, and a new framework will be created to recognize provincial and territorial licences and certifications for workers.

The second part of the bill seeks to support the development of major projects that align with national interests, contingent upon discussions with the provinces, territories, and indigenous peoples. The bill would create a single assessment for projects and improve coordination of permitting alongside the provinces and territories, aiming to reduce approval times from five years to two.

Liberal MPs have said the legislation must be passed before July 1, which is a promise Prime Minister Mark Carney made during the election campaign. Continue...

Mark Carney is demanding power to suspend all federal laws. What will he use it for?

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jamie-sarkonak-mark-carney-is-demanding-power-to-suspend-all-federal-laws-what-will-he-use-it-for

Federal fast-tracking bill would allow cabinet to exempt favoured companies from any federal law, opening a massive door to corruption

Mark Carney’s election platform did not include giving himself the power to suspend the entirety of federal law and, by extension, democracy. But that’s what he aims to do with Bill C-5, which he hopes to ram through by Canada Day.

Conservatives, astonishingly, haven’t ruled out helping the prime minister on this front, which is a royal shame since they’re our last line of defence.

Introduced to the House of Commons on June 6, the bill would create a Building Canada Act to fast-track any project the feds consider to be in the national interest. The act would do this by allowing the Liberal government to completely bypass parliamentary scrutiny.

The act would give cabinet the power to add any project it likes to a list of “national interest projects” by issuing an order-in-council. Cabinet would also have the power to make a list of federal laws that can be suspended at any time, with the stroke of a pen, with respect to any designated national interest project. Continue...

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/presidential-e-4b-doomsday-plane-lands-near-d/

A U.S. Air Force E‑4B “Doomsday Plane” (also called “Nightwatch” or the National Airborne Operations Center) landed at Joint Base Andrews near Washington, D.C., on Tuesday night, after flying from Barksdale AFB in Louisiana, i24News reported.

The E‑4B serves as a high-altitude, nuclear-hardened airborne command center for the U.S. President, Secretary of Defense, and Joint Chiefs.

Outfitted with EMP shielding, hardened communications, and room for dozens, it is designed to maintain continuity of government in worst-case scenarios—and stay aloft for days via in-flight refueling.

Historically, the only other publicly known occasion an E‑4B landed near Washington in response to a crisis was on September 11, 2001, following the terrorist attacks.

That day, an E‑4B (callsign VENUS77 or ADDIS77) was airborne and circled near D.C., preparing for contingencies during the Pentagon attack. It’s widely recognized as the only other occasion prompting such a deployment.

HORROR: Nearly 800 Infant Remains Discovered in Septic Tank at Irish Catholic Facility for Unwed Mothers

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/horror-nearly-800-infant-remains-discovered-septic-tank/

Forensic teams have begun exhumations at the former Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, Ireland, once overseen by devout Catholic nuns.

What investigators believe to be nearly 800 infants and toddlers, aged from 35 weeks in utero to about three years old, were discovered buried in an old septic tank.

Operating between 1925 and 1961, the home served as a forced hideaway for unwed pregnant women.

These young mothers, dismissed as moral failures by both Church and State, were reportedly interned for months, compelled into slave labor, and then stripped of their infants—many boys and girls who would perish from malnutrition, disease, or sheer neglect.

Local historian Catherine Corless painstakingly revealed that out of 798 recorded deaths, only two had proper burials; the remains of the rest were never accounted for—until now.

Excavations began June 16 under the Office of the Director of Authorised Intervention in Tuam (ODAIT), and are expected to last up to two years, with painstaking DNA identification and dignified reinterment underway.

NAACP Hits Trump with a Snub Not Seen in 116 Years

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/naacp-hits-trump-snub-not-seen-116-years/

In a historic snub, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has announced that it will not be inviting President Donald Trump to its annual national convention.

The NAACP made the announcement Monday and denigrated Trump’s character in doing so.

“For 116 years, the NAACP has invited the sitting president of the United States to address the NAACP National Convention — regardless of their political party,” NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson said in a statement.

“There is a rich history of both Republicans and Democrats attending our convention — from Harry Truman to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and beyond.

“We’re nonpartisan and always welcome those who believe in democracy and the Constitution.

“But right now, it’s clear — Donald Trump is attacking our democracy and our civil rights. Continue...

Customers are reporting widespread outages at Iran’s Bank Sepah withdrawal stations. The terminals are out of money.

Many believe the Iranian Revolutionary Guard took the money and left nothing for the people.

Iran Novin Party reported: “There is a serious possibility that the bank is facing a liquidity crisis because the IRGC leaders have already withdrawn their assets and fled the country. The body of the system is now facing empty accounts and an uncertain future.”

Strait Of Hormuz Disruption Fears Surge After Former Iranian Minister Threatens Transit Restrictions

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/strait-hormuz-disruption-fears-surge-after-former-iranian-minister-threatens-transit

JPMorgan's forecast of triple-digit Brent crude prices could soon be a reality as conflict risk in and around the Strait of Hormuz intensifies. The waterway, which handles roughly 20% of global oil trade, remains one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints. Any disruption, particularly amid growing military escalation between Iran and Israel, could impact energy flows worldwide and send prices soaring.

The most concerning sign of potential maritime disruption in the Strait of Hormuz emerged in the overnight hours via a statement on X by former Iranian Economy Minister Ehsan Khandouzi. While unofficial, the timing and seniority of the comment may reflect broader regime sentiment—or serve as a warning of what's to come. Continue...

Trump Says Iran Reached Out, But It's 'Very Late To Be Talking'

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-says-iran-reached-out-its-very-late-be-talking

President Donald Trump on Wednesday fielded reporters' questions on the Iran crisis, but refused to answer whether the US military will directly enter the war, amid Israeli requests that the Pentagon assist in striking Iran's nuclear facilities.

"There's a big difference between now and a week ago," Trump told reporters outside the White House, and added curiously: "Nobody knows what I'm going to do."

He indicated that the Iranians had reached out but he feels "it's very late to be talking." But he also threw out the possibility: "We may meet. It's, I don't know, there's a big difference between now and a week ago," he said on the White House lawn.

"I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate. And I say, 'Why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction?'" And more: Continue...

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/reports-warplanes-seeking-strike-ayatollah-israel-has-hit-1100-iranian-targets-friday

More waves of missiles and strikes were exchanged between Israel and Iran overnight, with Israeli's military announcing that 1,100 Iranian targets were hit since Friday.

The Israeli Air Force affirmed Wednesday that it is currently striking "military targets belonging to the Iranian regime in Tehran." The war shows no signs of abating, and as yet there are no announcements that Iranian and US negotiators plan to meet.

Despite more waves of Iranian missiles having pummeled Israel in the overnight and early morning hours, Israeli leaders are trying to present normalcy and are telling the population not to panic.

"Alongside intensified combat against Iran to remove threats — we will reopen the economy, gradually release the public, and return Israel to a path of activity and security," Defense Minister Katz said, given schools and public venues have been closed, and airspace shut for days.

On the other side, Iranians say they are living through "a nightmare" after Israel's latest attacks, which involved more than 50 aircraft on Iranian centrifuge and missile production sites overnight.

Hebrew social media accounts are now widely claiming that Israeli jets are going after locations where they believe Ayatollah Khamenei could be hiding. Though is bunker is likely only known to his closest aides. Continue...
