Elon Musk warns contraceptive pills are warping women’s emotions, changing behaviour

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/elon-musk-warns-contraceptive-pills-are-warping-womens-emotions-changing-behaviour/

Tech billionaire Elon Musk highlighted a new study linking hormonal contraceptives to brain changes, depression, suicide, and even population-level behavioral shifts.

Elon Musk has warned about the dangerous side effects contraceptive pills can have on the emotions and behavior of women.

The tech billionaire responded to a post about a new study showing severe side effects of hormonal contraceptives.

“The use of hormonal contraceptives by tens of millions of women could plausibly be having population-level effects on behaviour, including political behavior,” the post stated. “A new study shows that women who use hormonal contraceptives exhibit significantly stronger emotional responses than women who are naturally cycling and they also, interestingly, remember fewer details of negative events.”

Continuing, the post noted that a “study last year showed that hormonal contraceptives shrink the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, a region of the brain involved in fear processing and emotional control.”

“Read the warnings on the box of anything you’re taking,” Musk responded.

The eccentric tech mogul has highlighted the severe side effects of hormonal contraceptives in the past. Last year, he said that “Hormonal birth control makes you fat, doubles risk of depression & triples risk of suicide.”

“This is the clear scientific consensus, but very few people seem to know it,” he concluded. Continue...

Ontario to break interprovincial barriers for regulated professions

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/ontario-to-break-interprovincial-barriers-for-regulated-professions?itm_source=index

Under the current process, the province says certified workers can wait for several months to become registered to begin a job

Ontario is removing interprovincial barriers for workers in regulated professions, allowing them greater mobility when searching for work across the country, the province said Monday.

The Labour Day announcement said the provincial government has signed 10 agreements with provinces and territories to remove barriers to let workers come to Ontario to find work in over 50 “in-demand” professions, including engineers, architects and electricians.

“Our government is leading Canada in our efforts to protect workers by helping them find better jobs and building a more resilient, competitive and united Canadian economy,” said David Piccini, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development. Continue...

Canadian Citizen Indicted for Illegal Voting in U.S. Elections

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/09/canadian-citizen-indicted-illegal-voting-u-s-elections/

A Canadian citizen who has lived in the United States since the 1960s now faces federal charges for illegally registering and voting in multiple American elections, including the 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential race.

A federal grand jury in North Carolina indicted 69-year-old Denis Bouchard this week, revealing he allegedly certified false U.S. citizenship status to cast ballots in New Hanover and Pender County elections.

According to the Department of Justice, Bouchard falsely claimed to be an American citizen on voter registration applications filed in 2022 and 2024.

He is accused of voting in the 2022 congressional election and the 2024 presidential election despite never having obtained U.S. citizenship.

Prosecutors say he had been participating in elections for nearly two decades, raising questions about how long his fraudulent activity went unnoticed by election officials. Continue...

Canada’s six-month period of standing up to U.S. President Donald Trump with trade actions has mostly officially come to a close today.

Duties imposed on the United States in response to Trump’s initial tariffs of 25 percent on Canadian goods have been lifted effective Sept. 1.

As a result, over 1,200 different types of U.S. goods coming into Canada could drop in prices in the coming weeks or months, covering a wide range, from food stuffs to motorcycles, from kitchenware to apparel.

Trump had implemented his first tariffs against Canada and Mexico in March, accusing the two countries of being springboards into the United States for illegal drugs and immigrants.

In response, Ottawa placed a surtax on C$30 billion worth of U.S. goods, the first phase of matching tariffs on C$155 billion worth of U.S. imports, said to be aimed at maximizing the damage to the United States while minimizing the impacts domestically. This was still the objective as of early last month. “We have always said that we will apply tariffs where they have the maximum impact in the United States and a minimum impact in Canada,” Carney said on Aug. 5, echoing statements he had first made in March after winning the Liberal leadership race.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/09/watch-let-this-serve-as-notice-beware-trump/

President Trump on Tuesday provided more details on the strike against a Tren de Aragua drug trafficking boat from Venezuela, “while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, over 4,000 Marines and sailors have been deployed to the waters of the Caribbean as part of a “counter-cartel mission.” We’re already seeing the results.

It can be recalled that President Trump designated foreign drug cartels, including the Sinaloa Cartel, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, MS-13, and Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations with an executive order on his first day in office.

Eleven terrorists were killed in the strike, Trump said.

“Earlier this morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” he announced.

“TDA is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, operating under the control of Nicolas Maduro, responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence and terror across the United States and Western Hemisphere.”

The President also shared a video of the strike, stating, “Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE!”

RCMP finds ‘no evidence’ of murders, clandestine burials at residential schools

https://www.rebelnews.com/rcmp_finds_no_evidence_of_murders_clandestine_burials_at_residential_schools

Only two allegations of murders were received, which the RCMP investigators found to be baseless, as well as one allegation surrounding clandestine burials, also unsubstantiated.

The RCMP's eight-year investigation into B.C. residential schools confirms no evidence of murders or clandestine burials, according to the Real Indigenous Report. However, 14 men were arrested and faced charges for other abuses investigated by a 1995 task force.

Calvin Swustus, a 17-year veteran of the Vancouver Island RCMP and a task force member, was satisfied that the investigations led to arrests, charges, and convictions, despite being flawed. “I feel good that some people were arrested, charged and convicted.”

Only two allegations of murders were received, which the RCMP investigators found to be baseless, as well as one allegation surrounding clandestine burials, also unsubstantiated.

Keavin Amyot, a convicted child sexual predator, confessed to sexually assaulting a St. Mary’s Indian Residential School survivor in 1997, calling himself a “monster” and a pedophile, according to the Investigative Journalism Foundation.

Further charges were recommended in 2002 after a second victim emerged, but Amyot died before approval.

Efforts led to charges against 14 men; however, only eight of these were directly linked to the team's work after its formation. During its tenure, the team gathered over 4,000 tips, leading to 974 criminal allegations against 129 individuals. Continue...

A U.S. defense review may cut American troop presence in Europe by up to 30%, shifting focus to Asia-Pacific.

European leaders are pledging billions in new defense spending but struggle with slow procurement, recruitment shortages, and strained budgets.

European nations could face a trillion-dollar rearmament bill in the face of a looming Russian threat and an imminent US defense review that could see Washington dramatically draw down forces on the continent, according to a report released on September 3. Continue...

Quebec’s new palliative care home promotes euthanasia for vulnerable patients

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/quebecs-new-palliative-care-home-promotes-euthanasia-for-vulnerable-patients/

Quebec has a staggering euthanasia rate, with the deadly practice accounting for 7.3% of all deaths in the province and claiming the lives of 5,686 people in 2023.

Quebec’s latest palliative care home has highlighted the province’s euthanasia crisis and aging population.

August 28 marked the opening of a new palliative care home in Saint-Charles-Borromée, Quebec, that prides itself on offering assisted suicide or so-called “medical assistance in dying” (“MAID”) to its most vulnerable patients.

“The Pavilion will offer 10 new palliative care beds, in addition to medical assistance in dying (MAID) program, which will complement the existing services in the region,” a press release, translated from French, reads.

The home is one of the first in Quebec to blend palliative care and assisted suicide. The project is funded by the public and private healthcare networks, including the government of Quebec.

“The Pavilion will welcome people at the end of life, whose prognosis is approximately three months, when home care is no longer possible,” the press release reads.

“With the completion of this project, the region is taking a concrete step toward improving access to palliative care in the province, while the use of medical assistance in dying (MAID) in Quebec continues to grow,” it continued.

Quebec, a notoriously liberal province, has the highest rate of assisted suicide in Canada. The province saw a 17-percent increase in euthanasia deaths in 2023 compared to 2022, with the program claiming the lives of 5,686 people. The high figure represents a staggering 7.3 percent of all deaths in the province, putting Quebec at the top of the list worldwide. Continue...

Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that his parliamentary secretary, Liberal MP Kody Blois, will travel to China from Sept. 6 to 9 as part of a trade delegation led by Saskatchewan’s premier to discuss China’s canola tariffs.

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) made the announcement on Sept. 4, saying Blois will “engage constructively” with Chinese officials in discussing trade irritants and will “demonstrate” Ottawa’s commitment to supporting Canadian farmers affected by Beijing’s tariffs.

The delegation will be led by Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, who has called China’s tariffs on canola “punitive,” and has urged the federal government to engage with Beijing to have them removed. Canola is one of Saskatchewan’s main exports.

“Canada’s new government will work with provinces, territories, farmers, and businesses to build one Canadian economy and secure reliable trading partnerships for the trade of high-quality Canadian goods,” reads the PMO’s press release.

“We are taking action to protect hard-working canola producers, workers, and exporters, defend their fair access to global markets, and protect Canadian jobs.”

China last month imposed 75.8 percent temporary tariffs on Canadian canola. The tariffs came weeks after Ottawa said it would apply additional 25 percent tariffs on steel imports from all non-U.S. countries containing steel melted and poured in China, citing protection of Canada’s domestic industry.

One of the primary money laundering methods used by Chinese criminal groups is the so-called Vancouver Model.

Last week, the U.S. Treasury Department issued an advisory that described Chinese money launderers as “vital” to cartel fentanyl trafficking, saying that from 2020 to 2024 US$312 billion was found to be linked to such activities.

Although the advisory makes no specific mention of Canada, RCMP and Canadian Armed Forces intelligence veteran Scott McGregor says it’s clear that Canada’s lax laws and enforcement when it comes to such issues make it a “permissive financial junction” enabling the transnational illegal activities.

“Chinese underground bankers provide the circulatory system and our weak anti-money laundering posture supplies the oxygen,” McGregor said in an interview.

“The Chinese and the cartels all conduct operations together, also by themselves and with other entities,” he said, adding that Iranian groups also play a role in the fentanyl trafficking network.

He describes Canada as the “centre of gravity” for transnational organized crime in North America, where major criminal networks, including Chinese regime-backed money laundering groups, concentrate their operations by exploiting loopholes in the country’s legal and judicial systems. Continue...

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/heritage-foundation-chief-cancels-talk-with-carneys-cabinet-on-us-conservative-agenda-5910330?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-1

A prominent American conservative has called off a closed-door meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet that was scheduled for Sept. 4. Neither party has publicly provided a reason for the cancellation.

U.S. political strategist Kevin Roberts was set to brief Carney’s cabinet in a closed door meeting to offer insight on the Trump administration’s agenda and core principles but the Prime Minister’s Office announced to media on Sept. 4 that Roberts was cancelling his Canada trip.

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said Roberts was invited to speak with cabinet because it’s important for Canada’s government to hear a variety of voices. Roberts is the president of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative political think tank.

“When you have sessions you want to hear a different perspective,” Champagne said Sept. 4 prior to the cabinet meeting in the Greater Toronto Area, adding, “I think that you gain from having different perspective[s].”

He said discussions would continue during the two-day Liberal government summit without Roberts, and would concentrate on the budget, economy, and housing.

The PMO said it plans to stay in touch with Roberts and “other leading U.S. policy figures” going forward. The cabinet is still set to meet with former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd who now serves as Australia’s ambassador to the United States, to discuss current geopolitical realities and the rise of China. Cabinet is also meeting with a leading Canadian pollster, an economist, and private sector entrepreneurs. Continue...

The Pentagon issued a warning to the Maduro government in Venezuela Thursday night after two of the regime’s F-16 fighter jets flew near the USS Jason Dunham, an Arleigh Burke-class Aegis guided missile destroyer that is part of a U.S. fleet patrolling off the coast of Venezuela to combat that government’s drug cartel trafficking. (Previous TGP report.)

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced the U.S. had destroyed a boat carrying drugs in international waters off the coast of Venezuela. It was later reported all eleven accused narco-terrorists on board who were killed were members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

Beijing’s Military Parade and the “Axis of Upheaval”

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/09/beijings-military-parade-axis-upheaval/

On September 3, 2025, China staged its largest-ever military parade to mark the 80th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War II. Far from a simple commemoration, the event was a calculated display of power. Beijing used the occasion to showcase its expanding military capabilities and position itself as the leader of a rival order to the U.S.-led system. Just as significant as the weapons on display was the coalition-building that surrounded the parade.

The parade followed directly on the heels of the largest-ever Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, held in Tianjin from August 31 to September 1, where Xi hosted more than 20 world leaders. The SCO now counts 10 member states, governing 40 percent of the world’s population, and provided the diplomatic foundation for the parade’s show of unity. Notably, India attended the summit but not the parade. Continue...

The Canadian economy lost jobs for the second month in a row as the unemployment rate climbed to its highest level since May 2016, excluding the pandemic period.

Statistics Canada said Friday the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.1 percent in August, its highest level since August 2021, as the economy lost 66,000 jobs for the month.

The report follows the July labour force survey that showed a loss of 41,000 jobs and an unemployment rate of 6.9 percent.

A poll of economists heading into the release had expected August to show a gain of 10,000 jobs and the unemployment rate to rise to seven percent for the month, according to LSEG Data & Analytics.

Statistics Canada said there were 60,000 part-time jobs lost in August, while the economy shed 6,000 full-time jobs.

Employment fell across several industries in August. Continue...

Two Toronto hospital patients have become the first Canadian recipients of the Neuralink brain chip created by American tech billionaire Elon Musk’s neurotechnology company.

Operations carried out on Aug. 27 and Sept. 3 at Toronto Western Hospital make it the first hospital in Canada to successfully implant the wireless brain-computer interface, the University Health Network (UHN) said in a press release.

The surgeries carried out on quadriplegia patients were part of a clinical trial known as the Canadian Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface Study and marked the first Neuralink procedures conducted outside the United States.

“It’s a profound honour to be a part of this breakthrough research and to lead Canada’s first Neuralink surgeries,” Dr. Andres Lozano, a neurosurgeon at Toronto Western Hospital, said in the Sept. 4 press release.

“This milestone represents a convergence of neuroscience, engineering, and clinical care.”

The clinical trial began last November to evaluate the safety and functionality of both Neuralink’s surgical robot and the brain chips that allow quadriplegic individuals to operate external devices through their thoughts, the UHN said. Continue...

Mahmood as Home Secretary is the perfect example of UK Labour’s madness.

As we have reported today in TGP, the unpopular British government of Keir Starmer is in complete turmoil.

His deputy PM Angela Rayner resigned in disgrace after it was revealed she dodged payment of taxes for her second home.

So, Starmer reshuffled his government, enacting 12 cabinet-level changes that have let his own Labour party reeling.

But perhaps the most symbolic change is the change of Yvette Cooper for Shabana Mahmood in the Home Office.

Mahmood is a British politician of Pakistani descent and, by whatever metric you use, an Islamic radical. Continue...

EU Lawmakers Skeptical Of Digital Euro As ECB Renews Pitch

https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/eu-lawmakers-skeptical-digital-euro-ecb-renews-pitch

The European Central Bank (ECB) renewed its push to issue a digital euro, drawing pushback from EU lawmakers over privacy protections and potential risks to commercial banks.

ECB board member Piero Cipollone told a parliamentary economic committee on Thursday that a digital euro “will ensure that all Europeans can pay at all times with a free, universally accepted digital means of payment, even in case of major disruptions.”

Some parliamentarians pushed back over concerns that the digital currency wouldn’t protect user privacy, and that offering accounts backed by the central bank would undercut the private sector.

Legislation for the central bank digital currency (CBDC) has been before the European Parliament since 2023, and has faced delays amid political concerns and the 2024 elections.

Digital euro seen as fallback in crisis

The ECB’s Cipollone said the core of the bloc’s digital payment systems comes from non-EU providers, which could hinder the “capacity to act swiftly and independently — particularly in times of crisis.”

He pitched the digital euro as a fallback in cases of cyberattacks or network outages, and noted US efforts to promote dollar-backed stablecoins. Continue...

Trump threatens EU over ‘unfair’ $3.5bn Google fine

https://www.rt.com/news/624206-trump-threatens-eu-google/

Brussels earlier accused the US company of anti-competitive practices in the ad tech market

US President Donald Trump has threatened the EU with a probe that could lead to higher tariffs after the bloc fined Google for violating antitrust laws.

The European Commission on Friday ordered the US company to pay a €2.95 billion ($3.5 billion) fine for allegedly abusing its dominant position in the advertising technology market by favoring its own display services.

Regulators said the practice allowed Google to charge high fees, harming rivals and online publishers. The company was told to stop the “self-preferencing” practices, address conflicts of interest, and present a compliance plan within 60 days or face further penalties.

Trump blasted the ruling in a post on Truth Social, calling it “unfair” and “discriminatory.”

Europe today hit another great American company, Google, with a $3.5 Billion Dollar fine, effectively taking money that would otherwise go to American Investments and Jobs,” he wrote.

“We cannot let this happen to brilliant and unprecedented American Ingenuity and, if it does, I will be forced to start a Section 301 proceeding to nullify the unfair penalties.”

Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act allows Washington to penalize foreign countries for practices deemed harmful to US commerce, including through tariffs.

Trump has criticized the EU for targeting US tech giants with privacy and antitrust rules stricter than those in America. His latest warning comes weeks after securing a trade deal that imposed a 15% tariff on most EU exports while scrapping tariffs on US industrial goods. The deal drew backlash from EU officials, who said it favored Washington.

Google rejected the commission’s ruling and vowed to appeal.

Google reported $264.6 billion in ad revenue in 2024 – 75.6% of its total income – cementing its status as the world’s largest advertising firm. The latest fine is the fourth penalty the EU has levied against it since 2017. Google also faces a trial in the US later this month over a separate Justice Department case in which a judge found it held illegal monopolies in online advertising technology.

BC Ferries denies freedom of information request on Chinese shipyard contract

https://www.rebelnews.com/bc_ferries_denies_freedom_of_information_request_on_chinese_shipyard_contract

BC Ferries has denied an FOI request regarding the Chinese shipyard contract and bidder details, citing security and financial concerns.

BC Ferries withheld all records requested by the manager of information and privacy, Shauna Rasmussen, exercising the maximum 30 business days permitted by law, citing security and financial concerns

TheBreaker.news requested the contract, draft, or term sheet with China Merchants Industry (CMI) Weihai Shipyard for BC Ferries' four new major vessels on July 22, preceding a 5-4 Commons Committee vote for confidential records.

BC Ferries CEO Nicolas Jimenez stated that in mid-to-late April, he informed the Federal Department of Transportation of the impending close of procurement, specifying the chosen shipyard and country of origin.

The private company awarded the contract to China Merchants Industry Weihai Shipyards on June 10, citing no Canadian bids after a five-year procurement process. The Canada Infrastructure Bank financed the project but wasn't involved in contract decisions.

A censored BC Ferries report, obtained by TheBreaker.news through a freedom of information request, led to a complaint filed with the OIPC to uncover redacted contract and bidder details. Continue...

For much of the past two months, ever since the historic loss of Japan's LDP in July's parliamentary elections, we have mocked the highly unpopular Japanese PM Shigeru Ishiba, who was clinging to the post despite record disapproval and a clear shift in popular sentiment that had clearly stripped him of mandate to be Japan's leader.

America's Jr Partners, Canada & Australia, Flex With Warships In Taiwan Strait

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/americas-jr-partners-canada-australia-flex-warships-taiwan-strait

Two warships from Canada and Australia sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Saturday, and were closely monitored by the China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA), according to an announcement by Chinese state media.

State-run Global Times identified that the Canadian frigate Ville de Quebec and the Australian guided-missile destroyer Brisbane were the vessels that made the provocative transit.

"On September 6, the Canadian frigate 'Quebec' and the Australian destroyer 'Brisbane' transited the Taiwan Strait, causing trouble and provoking," a statement from the the Eastern Theatre Command of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) said.

"The People's Liberation Army (PLA) maintained full surveillance and monitoring throughout the transit, with the situation fully under control," it said further, at a moment the Australian and Canadian militaries withheld any initial comment.

Typically it is the US military which leads these kind of semi-routine "freedom of navigation" passages, even as the last several years have seen the Chinese military step up war games and patrols around Taiwan and in the contested strait.

But increasingly these junior partners of the US have sought to step up and flex their muscles. But one wonders why Canada, with a comparably weak military (to China's) would be impelled to sail half a world away through waters which Beijing sees as its domain. Continue...

Chinese Government Appears to Have Stolen Data From Nearly Every North American in Yearslong Cyberattack: Report

https://breaking-news.ca/chinese-government-appears-to-have-stolen-data-from-nearly-every-north-american-in-yearslong-cyberattack-report/

Chinese cyber group Salt Typhoon may have stolen data on nearly every American. The cyberespionage campaign was global, affecting over 80 countries. Stolen data could let Chinese intelligence track targets via telecom networks—politicians, spies, activists.

Countering Chinese State-Sponsored Actors

Compromise of Networks Worldwide to Feed Global

Espionage System

Executive summary

People’s Republic of China (PRC) state-sponsored cyber threat actors are targeting networks globally, including, but not limited to, telecommunications, government, transportation, lodging, and military infrastructure networks. While these actors focus on large backbone routers of major telecommunications providers, as well as provider edge

(PE) and customer edge (CE) routers, they also leverage compromised devices and trusted connections to pivot into other networks. These actors often modify routers to maintain persistent, long-term access to networks.

This activity partially overlaps with cyber threat actor reporting by the cybersecurity industry—commonly referred to as Salt Typhoon, OPERATOR PANDA, RedMike, UNC5807, and GhostEmperor, among others. The authoring agencies are not adopting a particular commercial naming convention and hereafter refer to those responsible for the cyber threat activity more generically as “Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actors” throughout this advisory. This cluster of cyber threat activity has been observed in the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and other areas globally.

This Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) includes observations from various government and industry investigations where the APT actors targeted internal enterprise environments, as well as systems and networks that deliver services directly to customers. This CSA details the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) leveraged by these APT actors to facilitate detection and threat hunting, and provides mitigation guidance to reduce the risk from these APT actors and their TTPs.

This CSA is being released by the following authoring and co-sealing agencies: Continue...

Missing Canadian soldier on NATO mission in Latvia found dead

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/missing-canadian-soldier-dead-nato-latvia?itm_source=top-news

Warrant Officer George Hohl was deployed on Operation Reassurance as part of the Aviation Battalion under the NATO Multinational Brigade-Latvia

A Canadian Armed Forces member deployed to Latvia, who was missing since earlier this week, was found dead Friday.

A news release from the Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces says Warrant Officer George Hohl was deployed on Operation Reassurance as part of the Aviation Battalion under the NATO Multinational Brigade-Latvia.

Hohl was a vehicle technician based in Edmonton and had served in the Canadian Armed Forces for almost 20 years.

The department says the Canadian Forces Military Police, with the support of Latvian authorities, are investigating the circumstances surrounding Hohl’s death.

The news release did not offer information about those circumstances, but says there was no indication the incident poses an increased threat to the safety and security of deployed Canadians.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was deeply sad to learn about Hohl’s death.

In a social media post, Carney shared that last month he had the honour of spending time with the brigade that Hohl was part of.

“On behalf of all Canadians, I offer my deepest condolences to Warrant Officer Hohl’s family, friends, and to all those who served with him,” Carney wrote on X.

General Jennie Carignan, Chief of the Defence Staff, expressed her condolences, saying, Hohl will be remembered for his many years of dedicated service.

Crossroads for Macron as French Gov’t Collapses over Budget Battle, Le Pen Calls for Fresh Elections

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/09/08/crossroads-for-macron-as-french-govt-collapses-le-pen-calls-for-fresh-elections/

Paris politics has once again descended into chaos, as the government of Prime Minister François Bayrou collapsed on Monday after the National Assembly overwhelmingly voted against a confidence measure brought forward by the embattled PM in a last-ditch effort to pass through a national budget.

The deadlock over the budget came in large part as a result of President Macron’s Machiavellian move during last summer’s legislative elections to form a pact between his centrist coalition and the leftist New Popular Front (NFP) in the second round of voting after Marine Le Pen’s National Rally looked to be on the cusp of taking power. The move resulted in a three-way split within the National Assembly, with no faction able to govern effectively.

Macron first turned to former EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier; however, despite his reputation as a firm hand, his government collapsed in just over three months after the Eurocrat attempted to push through budget measures without a vote in the parliament. Unable to dissolve the National Assembly for a year after the previous election, Macron then turned to long-time ally and Mayor of Pau, François Bayrou, in a second attempt at bridging the divided legislature.

Facing soaring debt and budget deficits — the consequences of which may result in economic sanctions from the European Union or a downgrading of the nation’s credit — Bayrou has proposed a series of tax hikes on top earners, welfare cuts, and a reduction in the number of public holidays to help balance the books. Yet, he was unable to convince either the left wing or Le Pen’s National Rally to support his budget. Facing the prospect of defeat, Bayrou took a risky gamble of attempting to call their bluff by demanding a vote of confidence himself. Continue...

Nepal Protests Against Social Media Ban Leave 19 Dead, 150 Injured

https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2025/09/08/nepal-protests-against-social-media-ban-leave-19-dead-150-injured/

Police reportedly opened fire on demonstrators in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, after protests against a government ban on most social media platforms swelled to enormous size on Monday. The official casualty count included 19 dead and 150 injured as of Monday afternoon.

The Nepalese government announced late last week that it would ban most of the big social media platforms – including X, Facebook, and YouTube – because they missed a deadline to “register” with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.

Only five platforms had complied as of Monday, and only one of them was a household name: China’s controversial TikTok. TikTok was among the first social media platforms to register with the Nepalese government, in order to get back online after it was banned for spreading “hateful content” in late 2023.

Roughly 90% of the Nepalese population is online, and their favorite platform is Facebook, by a wide margin. Many small businesses use social media for advertising and sales, so the ban will inflict tremendous financial damage upon them. Continue...

China slams Canada and Australia over Taiwan Strait warship transit

https://www.rt.com/news/624261-china-slams-canadian-australian-warship/

Beijing has denounced the passage of the vessels, calling it a provocation

The Chinese military has condemned the passage of Canadian and Australian warships through the Taiwan Strait, calling it a provocation.

China considers Taiwan – self-ruled since 1949 when nationalist forces retreated after losing the Chinese Civil War – as part of its territory under the One-China principle.

It also claims the strait as its own. While neither Canada nor Australia formally recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state, many, including the US, Canada, the UK, France, and Australia, view the strait as an international channel and conduct regular transits.

The Canadian frigate HMCS Ville de Quebec and the Australian destroyer HMAS Brisbane entered the strait early Saturday, a day after Beijing accused both nations of stoking tensions with military drills in the South China Sea.

China said its forces tracked and warned the vessels, describing the operation as “trouble-making and provocation.” Continue...

Canadian and U.S. intelligence partners have issued a warning to Western technology startups of potential exploitation in pitch competitions organized by Chinese regime entities.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and its U.S. intelligence partners issued a bulletin on Sept. 4 to advise technology startups that while international pitch competitions can provide exposure and funding opportunities, they can also lead to “exploitation by foreign entities looking to acquire Western innovation and skills for economic and military advantage.”

“CSIS actively works with its partners, including the U.S., Five Eyes and others around the world in order to identify threats, inform Canadians and share mitigation measures,” CSIS Director Dan Rogers said in a Sept. 4 news release. “Canadian tech startups are essential to the Canadian economy and should protect themselves from potential threats or exploitation by threat actors.”

International pitch competitions affiliated with the Chinese regime or Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can pose “significant risks” to Western tech startups’ intellectual property, data, and talent, the bulletin says.

The CCP has organized pitch competitions in cities across Canada, the United States, and other nations over the last several years, the CSIS and its U.S. partners say. The competitions encourage startups to pitch their innovative projects with the goal of winning paid trips to China to compete for cash awards, subsidies, investment, preincubation support, and market-entry opportunities, among other benefits.

Although these competitions are advertised as “lucrative opportunities” for startups, intelligence agencies have found evidence indicating that the competitions primarily intend to attract Western technology and talent to China to “benefit China’s technology hubs and to advance China’s stated goals of achieving global leadership in key technology sectors.” Continue...

The south Asian Republic of Nepal is currently engulfed in total chaos, as the widespread, unstoppable protests, led primarily by Gen Z activists, turned to violence and destruction.

Order broke down erupted in Kathmandu after the government tried to enact a social media ban – but is rooted in unrest over rampant government corruption.

The demonstrations turned violent when police used tear gas, rubber bullets, and live ammunition, resulting in at least 19 deaths and hundreds of injuries.

SHOCKER: Nobody wants ventilators from ex-Liberal MP’s company

https://www.rebelnews.com/nobody_wanted_ventilators_from_ex_liberal_mps_company

Of 10,000 Baylis ventilators received, only 260 went to provinces/territories and 839 abroad as foreign aid; the rest are stored federally.

Former Liberal MP Frank Baylis stated that a sole-sourced contract for ventilators saved his company, Baylis Medical Technologies Inc., during the pandemic. Records indicate this order resulted in a surplus of ventilators, which proved difficult to distribute.

“It will be impossible to divest all the surplus Baylis units, several thousands,” the Public Health Agency (PHAC) wrote in a 2023 staff email. “The Agency needs to determine how long they are willing to continue paying for storage and maintenance costs.”

On April 10, 2020, the Agency awarded FTI Professional Grade Inc. of Guelph, Ontario a $237 million contract for 10,000 Baylis Medical ventilators, despite Baylis lacking a federal manufacturing license, Blacklock’s reported. Continue...

The Taiwanese government says it welcomes the recent passage of Canadian and Australian naval vessels through the disputed Taiwan Strait, calling it a show of support for regional peace and stability.

Canada’s HMCS Ville de Québec vessel and Australia’s HMAS Brisbane ship recently conducted a routine transit through the Taiwan Strait “in line with international law,” the Canadian Joint Operations Command said in a Sept. 7 statement, adding that Canada “supports a free, open Indo-Pacific.”

The Taiwan Strait is part of the South China Sea and separates the island of Taiwan from the Asian mainland, specifically China’s Fujian province.

The region has been a flashpoint for years, due to communist China’s claims that Taiwan is part of its territory—along with its use of economic and military coercion to reinforce that position—and the democratic island’s continued defence of its sovereignty.

The recent passing of the Canadian and Australian vessels through the strait was noted positively by Taiwan’s ministry of foreign affairs. Continue...

The report drew on data from Statistics Canada and essentially concluded that thousands died not from the COVID-19 virus but because of public health rules.

A new report released by one of Canada’s leading constitutional freedom groups has raised alarm bells over the “harms caused” by COVID-19 lockdowns and injections imposed by various levels of government as well as a rise in unexplained deaths and bloated COVID-19 death statistics.

The report, titled “Post-COVID Canada: The rise in unexpected deaths,” was released September 3 by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF). It found three key findings that arose from various Canadian governments’ handling of COVID.

“The report raises urgent concerns about the accuracy of Covid death reports, the harmful impacts of lockdowns and vaccine mandates, and the ongoing trend of unexplained deaths in Canada,” the JCCF noted.

The report drew on data from Statistics Canada and essentially concluded that thousands of Canadians died not from the COVID-19 virus itself but rather because of public health rules and vaccine mandates put in place. Continue...

The level of debt that Canadians owe in relation to their income rose in the second quarter, as the increase in debt outpaced income growth, new data from Statistics Canada suggests.

The proportion of household credit market debt relative to disposable income increased to 174.9 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis, marking an increase of 1.1 percent, StatCan reported this week.

“In other words, there was $1.75 in credit market debt for every dollar of household disposable income in the second quarter, considerably lower than the record $1.86 in the fourth quarter of 2021,” the agency said.

The household debt service ratio, which is defined as the total required payments of principal and interest on credit market debt relative to disposable income, grew to 14.41 percent during the quarter, up from 14.37 percent.

The findings indicated that household credit market borrowing slowed to a seasonally adjusted $31.6 billion during the quarter, a decline from $34.5 billion in the first three months of 2025.

The total amount of household credit market debt, seasonally adjusted and including consumer credit, mortgage, and non-mortgage loans, saw a 1 percent increase, exceeding $3.1 trillion in the second quarter, with mortgages making up nearly 75 percent of the total. Continue...
