$46M lavish office overhaul for executive elite defies Liberals' housing crisis promise

https://www.rebelnews.com/_46m_lavish_office_overhaul_for_executive_elite_defies_liberals_housing_crisis_promise

The National Research Council is spending millions to transform a vacant Ottawa library into a lavish workplace with an executive suite, defying Prime Minister Carney’s order to repurpose unused properties for public housing.

The National Research Council (NRC) has earmarked nearly $46 million to transform a vacant Ottawa library into a lavish "engaging workplace," complete with an executive suite for its $377,500-a-year president, Mitch Davies.

The stunning display of bureaucratic excess was first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter, and comes mere days after Prime Minister Mark Carney ordered federal agencies to repurpose unused properties for desperately needed public housing. Continue…

Muslim Rights Groups: US Army Grooming Standards May Infringe on Religious Freedom

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/09/muslim-rights-groups-us-army-grooming-standards-may/

Muslim rights groups are concerned that new US Army grooming standards will exclude Muslims and Sikhs from serving. There are only about 10,000 – 20,000 US service members who identify as Muslim, and Sikhs appear to number only in the low double digits.

An ancillary effect of the policy is that it reinforces the elimination of accommodations for transgender soldiers, requiring them to dress and meet the standards of their birth gender.

The Army announced updated appearance, grooming, and uniform standards following a force-wide review, emphasizing professionalism and discipline as reflections of Army values. Key changes include clarified rules on hairstyles, cosmetics, fingernails, jewelry, uniforms, insignia, and body composition assessments. Developed with input from leaders across the Army, the policy is intended to realign standards with warfighting priorities and eliminate ambiguity.

The Army also reinforced its facial hair policy in July 2025 through Army Directive 2025-13, requiring soldiers to remain clean-shaven in uniform or while on duty in civilian clothes, with only temporary medical exemptions and permanent religious accommodations. Continue…

Louisiana Issues Arrest Warrant For California Doctor Who Mailed Abortion Pills

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/louisiana-issues-arrest-warrant-california-doctor-who-mailed-abortion-pills

Louisiana has issued a criminal arrest warrant for a California doctor suspected of mailing abortion pills to a patient in the state, in violation of state law, officials confirmed Sept. 29.

The state filed the arrest warrant on Sept. 19 for Dr. Remy Coeytaux, a Northern California physician, accused of violating the state’s abortion ban two years ago by providing abortion pills to a Louisiana woman.

The Louisiana arrest warrant came to light just days before California enacted new laws on Sept. 26, making the practice legal and shielding medical professionals and their attorneys from “adverse legal action.”

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill issued a statement on social media on Sept. 29 vowing to hold people accountable for distributing the pills in the state.

“On multiple occasions, I have raised concerns about the unlawful distribution of these pills in our State and the harm that it does to women,” Murrill stated.

“It’s dangerous, irresponsible, unethical, and illegal to distribute these pills to strangers in violation of the criminal laws of our State, without any relationship whatsoever to the individual who may ultimately be consuming them.”

Murrill added she would enforce and defend the state laws, including suing the governors whose shield laws claim to protect doctors and other medical professionals from criminal conduct in Louisiana.

The Louisiana patient, Rosalie Markezich, said her boyfriend used her email address to order drugs from Coeytaux in 2023 and gave her $150 to send to the out-of-state doctor. The patient said she had no other contact with the doctor, according to court filings. Continue…

DEA Arrests 670, Seizes Nearly 77,000 Kilograms Of Drugs In Operation Targeting Notorious Cartel

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/dea-arrests-670-seizes-nearly-77000-kilograms-drugs-operation-targeting-notorious

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) arrested 670 individuals and seized nearly 77,000 kilograms of narcotics during a five-day operation targeting a Mexican drug trafficking organization, according to an agency statement on Sept. 29.

Agents sought to dismantle the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, designated as a foreign terrorist organization in February with an executive order from President Donald Trump for its role in orchestrating illegal drug distribution.

“Let this serve as a warning: DEA will not relent,” agency administrator Terrance Cole said in a statement.

“Every arrest, every seizure, and every dollar stripped from [the cartel] represents lives saved and communities protected. This focused operation is only the beginning—we will carry this fight forward together until this threat is defeated.”

The cartel operates across the globe in at least 40 countries, with tens of thousands of individuals helping produce, manufacture, and distribute dangerous narcotics, according to the DEA.

Cole said the operation, which ran from Sept. 22 through Sept. 26, involved collaboration between DEA agents in 23 domestic and seven foreign divisions, a Department of Homeland Security Task Force, other federal agencies, and state and local law enforcement partners. Continue…

Spain Blocks US Military From Transferring Arms To Israel Through Its Bases

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/spain-blocks-us-military-transferring-arms-israel-through-its-bases

Spain has continued to be a leading EU nation in ramping up the diplomatic pressure on Israel, and seeking to isolate it. It's government this week has moved to prohibit US military planes and ships from using its territory to transfer weapons and equipment to Israel.

As reported by leading newspaper El País on Monday, the new decision applies specifically to the Rota naval base and the Morón air base, both located in the southwestern part of the country - long used as key Mediterranean region transfer hubs.

There has long existed routine coordination between Spanish and American military officials, however, the relationship is becoming increasingly tense, given the move reflects a serious political divergence amid the ongoing war in Gaza. Continue…

Simon's recent remarks differ from a 2023 speech where she criticized skeptics of residential school accounts.

Governor General Mary Simon's remarks for Truth and Reconciliation Day praised public efforts in learning about the Indigenous experience, contrasting with her 2023 speech that mentioned hidden residential school burials and media “denialism.”

Simon addressed survivors at Rideau Hall, stating their stories are a “gift” and “an invitation to repair bridges between all communities in Canada.”

“As we all know, many Canadians didn’t know what was happening in our country,” she continued. “I have been told by many Canadians they … never knew about them and only started to realize when former students started talking publicly about the traumas they had experienced.” Continue…

==Ottawa to appeal Cowichan Tribes v Canada ruling

https://www.rebelnews.com/ottawa_to_appeal_cowichan_tribes_v_canada_ruling

The B.C. Supreme Court granted the Cowichan Nation Aboriginal title to approximately 7.5 square kilometers of land in the city of Richmond.

The federal government is appealing a B.C. Supreme Court decision granting land title rights in Richmond, B.C., to a First Nation based on historical ownership.

On August 7, Justice Barbara Young granted the Cowichan Nation title claim to about 7.5 square kilometers of land that encompasses federal and municipal properties.

B.C.'s NDP government will appeal the decision, with Attorney General Niki Sharma citing "significant legal issues" and potential "unintended consequences for fee simple private property rights." Premier Eby stated on September 26 that an appeal is needed for "urgent clarity."

Ian McLeod, a spokesperson with the federal Department of Justice, wrote the Epoch Times that a federal appeal is underway.

Richmond, Tsawwassen First Nation, and Musqueam Indian Band also filed appeals. Continue…

Olivia Chow Mayor of Toronto: Your life needs to be made more un affordable & difficult for people abusing the asylum system.

https://breaking-news.ca/olivia-chow-mayor-of-toronto-your-life-needs-to-be-made-more-un-affordable-difficult-for-people-abusing-the-asylum-system/

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow’s statement about potentially raising property taxes to fund asylum seekers highlights a significant financial strain on the city, with a shortfall of $107 million due to the federal government’s refusal to cover these costs, reflecting broader tensions in Canadian municipal-federal funding dynamics.

The context of Chow’s background as an immigrant and her political history, including her role as a Member of Parliament where she advocated for national policies like childcare and public transit, adds depth to her current stance, suggesting a pattern of addressing systemic issues through local and national policy interventions.

The backlash on social media, as seen in related posts, indicates a polarized public opinion on immigration and asylum policies, with some viewing Chow’s approach as exacerbating local economic burdens, while others might see it as a necessary response to humanitarian needs, aligning with ongoing debates about the sustainability of Canada’s immigration system.

Quadra Homes CEO Shawn Bouchard warns BC’s incoming energy efficiency and carbon reduction rules (Step Code 4) will add $25,000 to the cost of a new home:

“That’s gonna take 114 years to pay back on the energy savings — so why are we doing this?”

A video of Shawn Bouchard, vice-president of Quadra Homes in Abbotsford, B.C., speaking at an event organized by the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA). Bouchard expresses concern over the incoming energy efficiency and carbon reduction rules, specifically Step Code 4, which he notes will add $25,000 to the cost of a new home, taking 114 years to pay back through energy savings.

Bouchard’s speech highlights a broader issue of housing affordability in British Columbia, where the provincial government, under Premier David Eby, has been addressing housing challenges through various initiatives, including curbing speculative demand and building affordable housing units. However, Bouchard argues that such policies, if not well-informed, will exacerbate the problem by increasing costs without tangible benefits. Continue…

Crown Blocks SNC-Lavalin Private Prosecution

https://breaking-news.ca/crown-blocks-snc-lavalin-private-prosecution/

It’s Monday morning in Canada, and the swamp is alive and well. After seven years of stonewalling, weak investigations, and political cover for one of the most explosive scandals in recent history, the Trudeau machine just got what looks like its final shield. Ontario Crown prosecutors quietly stepped in to shut down Democracy Watch’s private prosecution against Justin Trudeau over the SNC-Lavalin affair—yes, the same SNC that got caught bribing Libyan officials and then rebranded itself “AtkinsRéalis” as if a name change erases corruption.

Let me walk you through what’s happening, and how the Crown’s “no reasonable prospect” excuse unravels in the face of Supreme Court doctrine. Continue…

These are comments on CTV’s TikTok channel on a post about Pierre talking about the 100 churches that have burned down. No one believes him

https://breaking-news.ca/these-are-comments-on-ctvs-tiktok-channel-on-a-post-about-pierre-talking-about-the-100-churches-that-have-burned-down-no-one-believes-him/

screenshots of skeptical TikTok comments under a CTV video of Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre claiming over 100 Canadian churches have burned, with users demanding evidence or dismissing it as misinformation, garnering hundreds of likes each.

Data confirms at least 118 church arsons or suspicious fires since May 2021, linked to residential school grave discoveries, per independent trackers like Juno News; broader statistics show 592 arsons at all worship sites from 2010-2022, peaking at 90 in 2021 per government records.

This illustrates a coverage disparity, as mainstream media like CTV provides limited context on the incidents and low prosecution rates (only 12 charges as of 2024), fostering public doubt despite documented evidence from sources like National Post and Catholic Civil Rights League.

Whats more is that many are pretending that they do not believe it because they are anti Christian and want to down play it or in some way cast doubt and about the facts and the truth of the matter and or they are anti conservative and will say almost anything in order to discredit what ever Pierre Poilievre may have to say.

Health Canada dodges accountability on vaccine death claims

https://www.rebelnews.com/health_canada_dodges_accountability_on_vaccine_death_claims

A parliamentary inquiry exposes Health Canada's evasiveness and lack of transparency regarding COVID-19 vaccine injury deaths under the Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP), including deflected questions on claims, approvals, autopsies, causality, and excess mortality.

A recent inquiry in Parliament (Q-223), spearheaded by Conservative MP Dean Allison, further showcases Health Canada’s evasiveness when asked about COVID-19 vaccine injury deaths.

Allison posed pointed questions: How many death claims tied to the mRNA shots have been submitted through the Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP)? How many were approved? Were autopsies required? And who determines causality?

Health Canada’s response was to deflect. They confirm that the third party consultancy firm Oxaro handles all VISP decisions — and any data requests should be directed to the VISP website. But here’s the catch: the site doesn’t actually provide that information. No breakdown of death claims. No payout specifics. Continue…

Carney Liberals announce over $13 million in funding for pro-abortion groups

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/carney-liberals-announce-over-13-million-in-funding-for-pro-abortion-groups/

Campaign Life Coalition's Jeff Gunnarson warned that the Liberal payouts are 'nothing less than the government paying people to destroy Canada’s future.'

The Liberal government has used over $13 million in taxpayer dollars to finance pro-abortion groups which kill off Canada’s future through abortion.

On September 29, Health Canada announced over $13 million in funding for pro-abortion groups under the Sexual and Reproductive Health Fund, which mainly goes to abortions and radical LGBT groups.

“The Access for All Program provides support for under-served populations to access abortion care through emergency funds for travel and logistical support,” reads a press release announcing $2.8 million in funding to Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights.

Similarly, the University of British Columbia’s Contraception & Abortion Research Team received $4.3 million to “address the abortion information, access and appropriate care needs of key groups, including people who are Indigenous, racialized, migrants, homeless, 2SLGBTQI+, youth and those with disabilities and/or complex health concerns.”

Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) President Jeff Gunnarson condemned the funding, arguing that taxpayer dollars supporting “reproductive health” should go towards families having children, not those killing off their children. Continue…

Canada introduces bill against fetal alcohol syndrome despite allowing abortion until ninth month

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canada-introduces-bill-against-fetal-alcohol-syndrome-despite-allowing-abortion-until-ninth-month/

The Canadian Senate's Bill S-234, introduced to combat Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder by promoting education and prevention, inadvertently acknowledges the value of unborn life.

The Canadian Senate admitted that unborn babies deserve protection while presenting legislation to educate citizens on fetal alcohol syndrome.

On September 23, the Senate of Canada introduced Bill S-234 to establish a framework to combat fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, inadvertently admitting that unborn babies deserve protection.

“The national framework must include measures to address the training, education and guidance needs of health care and other professionals regarding the prevention and diagnosis of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and support measures for those who are impacted by it,” the legislation read.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a group of lifelong conditions caused by exposure to alcohol during pregnancy. It affects brain and body development, leading to a range of physical, cognitive, and behavioral challenges. Symptoms can include developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, memory issues, impulsivity, and physical abnormalities like facial deformities or growth deficits.

As a result, pregnant women are instructed not to drink alcohol during pregnancy for the safety of the baby. Continue…

Business Council Warns of ‘Investment Crisis’ in Letter to Ottawa on Budget

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/business-council-warns-of-investment-crisis-in-letter-to-ottawa-on-budget-5923163?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=business-council-warns-of-%E2%80%98investment-crisis%E2%80%99-in-letter-to-ottawa-on-budget-0

The Business Council of Canada (BCC) has warned in an open letter to the federal government that the next budget must tackle the issues of declining investment and growing deficits.

The BCC said in its Oct. 1 letter that the country needs more public and private investment to increase productivity and boost growth, as it is currently “in the midst of an investment crisis.” The letter, written by President and CEO Goldy Hyder, also raises concerns with Canada’s current fiscal situation, as the upcoming budget is expected to present a large deficit.

“We cannot borrow our way to prosperity. If your government decides that deficit-financed investment does need to take place, it must be done responsibly,” the letter states, adding that the government must provide a plan to reduce the deficit year after year.

The letter said the BCC had just completed consultations with Canadian economists and policy experts, as well as conducted a survey of members, and investments and deficits were the top issues raised. BCC noted that even before U.S. President Donald Trump began imposing tariffs on Canada, business investment in Canada had been weakening. Continue…

Shooting at Montreal-Area Starbucks That Left 1 Dead Could Have Organized Crime Ties: Police

Quebec’s provincial police service says a daylight shooting at a Laval Starbucks, north of Montreal, could have connections to organized crime.

Lieutenant Gregory Gomez del Prado told The Epoch Times that police were called out to the area, off Highway 400, around 10:35 a.m. on Oct. 1 for reports of gunshots.

He said officers found three individuals who had been injured at the scene and who were taken to hospital. One of the victims, a man in his 40s, has since died, Gomez del Prado said. The other two victims have non-life threatening injuries.

He also said the shooting was targeted at the three individuals.

Provincial police have taken over the case from Laval police, due to its suspected connections to organized crime, he said. No suspects have been identified or arrested. Continue…

Weaker Canadian Economy, End of Counter-Tariffs Led to Interest Rate Cut: Bank of Canada

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/weaker-canadian-economy-end-of-counter-tariffs-led-to-interest-rate-cut-bank-of-canada-5923226?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=weaker-canadian-economy,-end-of-counter-tariffs-led-to-interest-rate-cut:-bank-of-canada-0

Canada’s weakening economy and the lifting of most of the retaliatory tariffs on the United States contributed to the Bank of Canada’s decision to cut its interest rate, according to a recently released notice.

The Bank of Canada released a summary of the governing council deliberations that led the organization to cut its rate to 2.5 percent on Sept. 17.

The document notes there were three developments that occurred over the summer that led the council to decide it was the right time to drop the rate, including a weakening economy and a softening of the labour market; signs that pressure on inflation may be easing; and the removal of most retaliatory tariffs, which means less risk to future inflation.

“In reviewing all these factors, Governing Council judged that the balance of risks had shifted in favour of cutting the policy rate,” the summary said. “The economy was weaker and, while there were still some mixed signals, inflationary pressures appeared more contained.”

The council noted that the economy contracted in the second quarter due to tariffs and trade uncertainty, adding that exports had declined by 27 percent, while business investment was negative.

“Businesses reported that they are in a wait-and-see mode, given the unpredictability of US trade policy,” the summary said. Continue…

Ontario Man Sentenced to Life in Prison for ‘Merciless’ Attack on 5-Year-Old in Revenge Against Ex-girlfriend

An Ontario man has been sentenced to life in prison for the attempted murder of a 5-year-old child, in what the province’s Superior Court of Justice described as a “merciless” act of revenge against his former girlfriend seven years ago.

Dyon Smart, 35, who was found guilty in 2022 of attempted murder, aggravated assault, and breaching bail conditions, has been sentenced to life in prison for the violent attack on the son of his ex-partner on July 19, 2018, Justice James Stribopoulos said in a Sept. 24 court document detailing his reasons for judgement.

Following heated arguments with the child’s mother the night before, Smart lured the boy into a wooded area on the morning of July 19, near his ex-girlfriend’s townhouse where he was temporarily staying. In the isolated area, he “brutally” assaulted the child by repeatedly stomping on his face, head, and torso, and later attempted to asphyxiate him using a rope-like cloth, according to the court document.

He then left the boy’s “seemingly lifeless” body concealed in an area shrouded by trees and bushes. The child, identified only as D due to a publication ban, was 5 years old at the time and weighed less than 50 pounds.

“For the offence of attempted murder (count one), the court sentences Mr. Smart to life imprisonment,” Stribopoulos wrote.

“Mr. Smart’s behaviour associated with his attempt to murder D undoubtedly meets the brutality threshold,” he added. “Terms such as merciless, cruel, unfeeling, ruthless, vicious, and inhumane fairly describe Mr. Smart’s behaviour associated with his ghastly crime.” Continue…

A Saskatoon teenager has been sentenced to 18 months in supervised custody for the fatal shooting of his 12-year-old friend.

In her Oct. 1 decision, Judge Lisa Watson ruled that the youth, who was 13 at the time, accidentally shot his friend while posing with a sawed-off rifle and pretending to be a gangster, mistakenly believing the gun’s safety was on.

Watson sentenced the teenager, now 15, to one year in open custody in a supervised residence, six months under community supervision, and 18 months of probation.

“I do wish you the best. I know this is a difficult day for you and your family, difficult for [the victim’s] family and loved ones,” Watson said during the Oct. 1 sentencing. “I expect you to do something with your life. I expect you to move forward in a positive way and I very much hope not to ever see you back in this court building.”

International Student Pleads Guilty to Drug Trafficking, Sentenced to 11 Years

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/international-student-pleads-guilty-to-drug-trafficking-sentenced-to-11-years-5923041?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-2

A Saskatchewan judge has sentenced a former international student from India to 11 years in prison after he pled guilty to drug trafficking and possessing proceeds of crime charges.

Jatinderpal Singh, 27, was an international student at an Ontario university where he finished his first year, but said he couldn’t afford to continue his second year and turned to drug trafficking to pay off his debts, Saskatoon provincial court Judge Lisa Watson’s Sept. 4 written decision says.

Since Singh was no longer attending university, his visa expired, and he had to take out loans and borrow money from friends and family to get by, according to the agreed statement of facts presented before the court.

He was planning to return to India in 2024, but wanted to pay off his debts first and heard from a “friend of a friend” that he could make money by selling drugs.

He contacted a drug trafficking group on the Signal app in mid-late July 2024 and was sent to Saskatoon by the end of the month, where he was instructed to sell drugs such as fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine, the agreed facts in the decision say.

Saskatoon police arrested Singh on Aug. 30, 2024, after surveilling him at the hotel he was staying at. He had been selling drugs in the area for approximately four weeks. Singh said he told the drug trafficking group he was being surveilled the day before he was arrested, but the group told him “he was probably imagining this and told him to keep selling,” the decision says.

Police seized from Singh more than two kilograms of fentanyl, more than five kilograms of methamphetamine, more than half a kilogram of cocaine, and $77,546 in cash. Continue…

China’s Reach in Canada: Former RCMP National Director Calls for Urgent Action

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/chinas-reach-in-canada-former-rcmp-officer-calls-for-urgent-action-5923154?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-0

Despite years of Beijing’s efforts to expand its influence in Canada, the country has yet to fully recognize or counter the threat the communist regime poses to its future, according to a former RCMP officer.

Garry Clement, former national director for the RCMP’s Proceeds of Crime program, has been investigating transnational crime for decades. He describes the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as the “biggest transnational organized crime group in the world,” and says that despite growing evidence of its operatives, many in positions of authority in Canada appear unwilling to acknowledge the threat or take action.

“Because we are such a kind and gentle country, we dismiss it and allow it to go, but it’s going to come back and bite us,” Clement told The Epoch Times in a recent interview, citing as an example China’s use of international students to steal intellectual property from other countries or to conduct sensitive research clandestinely using North American facilities.

Grieving family calls on government to add 911 dispatchers to first responder grant program

https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/grieving-family-calls-on-government-to-add-911-dispatchers-to-first-responder-grant-program?itm_source=canada

The federal Memorial Grant Program for First Responders recognizes the 'service and sacrifice' of first responders who died as a result of their duties

Days before Christmas in 2022, Georgia Kerhoas was home playing cards with family when her son Chris showed up unexpectedly with news that would upend all their lives.

Her son Lee Herriot, a longtime correctional services officer and then 911 dispatcher for the Toronto Fire Service who had recently gone on medical leave, had taken his own life. His passing would eventually be recognized as an on-duty death.

Her son’s work as a first responder has since been recognized countless times, including at a memorial for fallen firefighters in June. His name is etched onto both the Canadian Firefighters Memorial in Ottawa and the Fallen Firefighter Memorial in Toronto.

But in January, the grieving mother and her family got more bad news.

The federal Memorial Grant Program for First Responders — which recognizes the “service and sacrifice” of first responders who died as a result of their duties — would not recognize Herriot.

As a 911 dispatcher, Herriot did not fit the program’s definition of a first responder and his family was ineligible for the $300,000 grant, Public Safety Canada wrote to the family in a one-page refusal letter.

Now Herriot’s family is pushing the federal government to change the memorial grant’s terms and conditions so that emergency dispatchers — widely recognized as first responders in Canada — can be eligible. Continue…

'They're having a hard time up there in Canada now because, as you know, with tariffs, everyone's coming into our country,' Trump told hundreds of military officials in Virginia

After months without rhetoric and outright trolling about Canada becoming the 51st state, U.S. Donald Trump brought it up again on Tuesday.

Approaching the halfway mark of a 72-minute address to hundreds of U.S. military officials summoned to Virginia, Trump claimed work on the “Golden Dome Missile Defence Shield” was proceeding and that Canada had recently contacted him to say “they want to be a part of it.”

“To which I said, ‘Well, why don’t you just join our country? You become the 51st state and you get it for free,” he suggested.

“I don’t know if that made a big impact, but it does make a lot of sense, because they’re having a hard time up there in Canada now because, as you know, with tariffs, everyone’s coming into our country.”

National Post has contacted the Prime Minister’s Office for more comment and more information. A spokesperson for Global Affairs Canada, meanwhile, promised a response by the end of the week. Continue…

The projects are in the following states: CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, MD, MA, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OR, VT, and WA.

This comes after Vought announced this morning on X that he had frozen about $18 BILLION in infrastructure projects for New York City, saying he was trying to ensure such funding would not go to fund DEI projects.

“Roughly $18 billion in New York City infrastructure projects have been put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles,” Vought wrote.

Intel Reportedly In Early Stage Talks To Make Chips For AMD

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/intel-jumps-7-after-report-company-early-stage-talks-make-chips-amd

Intel’s stock jumped over 7% Wednesday after Semafor reported the company is in early talks to make chips for longtime rival AMD in its foundry business. AMD shares also ticked higher, up more than 1% on Wednesday - and is up nearly 4% in Thursday trade.

Such a deal would be a major boost for Intel’s relatively new manufacturing arm, which has struggled to attract big customers and has been one of the key reasons Wall Street has had trouble getting behind Intel as an investment.

Analysts say landing AMD would not only validate Intel’s technology but also “send a signal to other chip companies” that the firm can handle large-scale production. AMD, for its part, would be entrusting critical chipmaking to its direct competitor—an unusual move given both companies battle in the x86 PC and server markets.

It remains unclear how much manufacturing AMD would shift from TSMC, its current supplier. Both Intel and AMD declined to comment. Continue…

Boeing Gets Contract To Replace Bunker Busting Bombs The US Dropped On Iran

https://www.zerohedge.com/military/boeing-gets-contract-replace-bunker-busting-bombs-us-dropped-iran

Boeing is set to receive a contract worth up to $123 million to replace the massive 30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs that the US dropped on Iranian nuclear facilities in June as part of the 12-day US-Israeli war against Iran, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.

On June 22, US B-2 Spirit bombers dropped 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bombs on Iran’s Fordow and Natanz nuclear sites, marking the first time the weapon was used in combat. A US submarine also fired Tomahawk missiles in strikes on an Iranian nuclear facility in Isfahan.

The attack, dubbed "Operation Midnight Hammer," was launched on behalf of Israel. The Bloomberg report said that a Pentagon budget document from August says that funds are being shifted from operations and maintenance accounts to Air Force munitions procurement as "funds are required to replace GBU-57 munitions expended in Operation Midnight Hammer in support of Israel."

Replacing the MOPs is just a fraction of the cost of the war against Iran, as the US used a significant number of interceptors to defend Israel throughout the 12 days.

US officials told The Wall Street Journal that the US fired more than 150 THAAD interceptors during the war, accounting for about one-quarter of the Pentagon’s total stock of the interceptors and costing about $2 billion.

The US military also engaged in its largest use of Patriot missiles to repel the Iranian attack on the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which Iran launched in retaliation for the bombing of its nuclear sites.

Bloomberg previously reported that the Pentagon was planning to spend at least $3.5 billion replenishing weapons it had used defending Israel before the 12-Day War.

Most of the cost was related to the US defense of Israel when Iran launched an attack in April 2024 in retaliation for Israel bombing its consulate in Damascus.

Medvedev Again Trolls Trump: US Submarines A 'Black Cat In A Dark Room'

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/medvedev-again-trolls-trump-us-submarines-black-cat-dark-room

Outspoken Russian hawk and firebrand Dmitri Medvedev has not stopped trolling Trump over the US nuclear submarine deployment, and the US President's annoyance over the issue continues to show.

The former Russian president and current Security Council Deputy Chairman has said in fresh remarks tinged with sarcasm that the situation brings to mind the saying about a black cat in a dark room.

"Donald Trump is once again talking about the submarines he moved ‘over to the coast of Russia," this time noting that they are 'totally' undetectable," he wrote on social media.

That's when he joked: "It's hard to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if there is no cat" - suggesting the notion that American nuclear subs are patrolling waters off Russia is a ruse. Continue…

Canadian doctor Charles Hoffe says Canada is in ‘spiritual war’ against abortion and euthanasia

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canadian-doctor-charles-hoffe-says-canada-is-in-spiritual-war-against-abortion-and-euthanasia/

The prominent physician urged Canadians 'to fight back against the tyranny plaguing Canada, saying God is the answer.'

A prominent Canadian doctor, who in the past was persecuted for speaking out against COVID mandates, said Canada is in a “spiritual war” in a fight against rampant abortion and euthanasia taking place across the nation.

While speaking to a crowd at We Unify’s 2025 Reclaiming Conference in Calgary, Alberta, on September 20, Dr. Charles Hoffe said there needs to be a “spiritual solution” to stop abortion and euthanasia.

“A spiritual war doesn’t have a political solution; it has a spiritual solution,” he told conference goers.

Hoffe urged everyone to fight back against the tyranny plaguing Canada, saying God is the answer.

“Ask for His mercy on this nation that has shaken its fists at God,” he said, adding, Canada has ‘killed its unborn’ to the tune of over 100,000 babies a year.”

Hoffe also called out Canada’s government-sanctioned assisted-suicide regime, or Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).

“Doctors are not supposed to be hurting their patients, whether they’re in the womb or whether they’re elderly,” he said. Continue…

Canada’s space agency staff will be asked to declare LGBT or black status under DEI action plan

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canadas-space-agency-staff-will-be-asked-to-declare-lgbt-or-black-status-under-dei-action-plan/

An agency report states that 'We are committed to prioritizing members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in our initiatives.'

Canada’s Space Agency will soon be asking all of its employees to “self-declare” whether or not they are LGBT or black in what it says will allow it to drive “organizational success” so it can “promote” these individuals through “inclusivity.”

An agency report titled Employment Equity, Diversity And Inclusion Action Plan 2025-2028 noted that to “promote inclusivity through concrete action terms,” it has updated its “internal self-declaration forms to enable employees to self-declare as members of the two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual community and as Black employees for human resources-related opportunities.”

While the report is not legally mandated, the report, as noted by Blacklock’s Reporter, suggests the Canadian Space Agency seek out employees who are LGBT or black, so that it might potentially promote those people to more senior roles. Continue…

Bernier slams Truth and Reconciliation Day, calls residential school ‘genocide’ narrative a ‘hoax’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/maxime-bernier-slams-truth-and-reconciliation-day-calls-residential-school-genocide-narrative-a-hoax/

Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada, condemned the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, stressing that ‘no bodies were found’ at residential schools.

People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier has condemned the residential school “genocide” narrative as a “hoax” on Truth and Reconciliation Day.

On September 30, as Canada observed the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Bernier pointed out the absurdity of celebrating a holiday based on the residential school “genocide” narrative, which has since been proven false.

“On this ‘National Day for Truth and Reconciliation,’ let’s remember that no bodies were found, that the residential schools ‘genocide’ is a hoax, and that reconciliation requires an end to the bs, the victim mentality, the fake white guilt, and the grifting based on it,” he posted on X.

Many Canadians commented under his post, thanking Bernier for his post and voicing their support of abandoning the holiday. Continue…

B.C. Conservative staffer fired for comments on reconciliation shirt, flag

https://www.rebelnews.com/b_c_conservative_staffer_fired_for_comments_on_reconciliation_shirt_flag

Lindsay Shepherd exposed the distortions in Canada's so-called "reconciliation" symbols last week, arguing that the orange shirts and survivors' flag perpetuate harmful falsehoods about Canadian history.

The B.C. Conservatives have terminated a communications officer over a post criticizing the province's use of "reconciliation" symbols, which she claimed spread "untruths" regarding the unproven allegation of 215 unmarked graves at the Kamloops Residential School.

“It is a disgrace that this fake flag flies in front of the provincial parliament buildings,” wrote B.C. Conservative staffer Lindsay Shepherd, “and it is a disgrace to see the shirt of lies framed prominently and permanently beside the coat of arms so that locals and tourists cannot view our insignia without having their eye drawn and redirected to the Orange shirt.”

She faced criticism last week for claiming that orange shirts and survivors' flag spread falsehoods about Canadian history. Continue…

Woke candidate pushes ‘hate tracking’ in Calgary mayoral race

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/woke-candidate-pushes-hate-tracking-in-calgary-mayoral-race/

Calgary mayoral candidate Jeromy Farkas is advocating for 'hate-tracking' and progressive policies to combat discrimination, aligning with controversial Liberal internet regulations.

Calgary mayoral candidate Jeromy Farkas is pushing for “hate-tracking” throughout the city to combat so-called discrimination.

In a September 22 question-and-answer session on Reddit, Farkas repeated his dedication to restricting Calgarians’ free speech in the name of alleged inclusivity.

“What are you going to do with all of the racism, bigotry, and xenophobia you’ve associated yourself with within conservative circles?” a Reddit user asked Farkas, an independent. “Are you going to distance yourself from all of that or will you use it when it best suits your needs?”

In response, Farkas promised to “fight racism, bigotry, and xenophobia wherever and whenever I see it. It doesn’t belong here.”

He also pointed the user to his platform, which outlines his plan to ensure that everyone has “a place at the table.”

Farkas’ agenda includes “strongly condemning discrimination against vulnerable communities by investing in community-led education and hate tracking.” The website did not elaborate on how the “hate-tracking” system would work. Continue…

Alberta Leads the Country for ‘Social Mobility’ Opportunities, Quebec at Bottom of List: Study

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/alberta-leads-the-country-for-social-mobility-opportunities-quebec-at-bottom-of-list-study-5923728?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=alberta-leads-the-country-for-%E2%80%98social-mobility%E2%80%99-opportunities,-quebec-at-bottom-of-list:-study-0

Albertans lead the country when it comes to moving up on the social and economic ladder, while Quebec ranks at the bottom of the list for “social mobility,” according to results of a new study.

The study Barriers to Social Mobility Across Canada, from the public policy think tank MEI, looked at metrics like occupational licensing, business regulations, school quality, and tax rates among the provinces. Researchers used a scoring system where zero provided the lowest opportunity for social mobility and 100 was the highest.

Social mobility refers to an individual’s ability to “climb up the socio-economic ladder,” according to MEI.

“Social mobility is what makes the difference between having agency in moving up the income ladder, or being stuck in inherited poverty,” said Justin Callais, associate researcher at the MEI and co-author of the report.

Researchers found that those in Alberta have the best chance to improve their income and earnings with a score of 57.4 percent, while those in Quebec have the least likely chance of improving their social standing at 39.7 percent.

The numbers consider factors like occupational licensing, which can create barriers for those looking to get into the field by requiring people to take expensive courses, complete lengthy apprenticeships, and pay registration fees, the report authors said. Continue…

Alberta Separatist Group Says It Met With Senior US Officials During 2nd Washington Visit

An Alberta sovereignty group says three of its members travelled to Washington earlier this week for meetings with senior U.S. officials to discuss the prospects of the province separating from Canada.

The Alberta Prosperity Project (APP) said its representatives Mitch Sylvestre, Dennis Modry, and Jeffrey Rath met with senior U.S. officials in Washington on Sept. 29 to provide an update on the progress of Alberta’s separation initiative. This was the second time the group sent a delegation to Washington, with the first meeting taking place in April.

The APP said its recent meeting resulted in “even stronger commitments” from U.S. officials, whom the group did not name but described as senior members of President Donald Trump’s administration. In the April meeting, the officials had recognized the initiative and expressed “full support” for it, the group said.

“The purpose of this trip was to follow up on our April 2025 meeting, specifically to update the US administration on where APP is at in the quest for Alberta sovereignty, and to elaborate on the substantive mutual benefit to both US citizens and Alberta citizens consequent to Alberta becoming a sovereign country,” said Modry, the APP’s chair and co-founder.

NS Legislation Permits Military Members to Wear Uniforms in Public Spaces

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/ns-legislation-permits-military-members-to-wear-uniforms-in-public-spaces-5923836?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=ns-legislation-permits-military-members-to-wear-uniforms-in-public-spaces-0

Nova Scotia has passed legislation that permits military members to wear their uniforms in public spaces, including schools, following controversy in 2024 where an elementary school asked members and veterans not to wear uniforms to a school Remembrance Day service.

The Honouring Canadian Armed Forces Members Act, introduced on Oct. 2 and passed later that day, says that current and retired military members are permitted to wear their uniforms in all places that are owned by the provincial government, such as parks, hospitals, and schools, according to an Oct. 2 government press release.

Minister Responsible for Military Relations Barbara Adams said the legislation honours those who serve.

“Nova Scotians are proud of our military heritage, with many thousands of Nova Scotians who have served or are serving now, and just about everyone knows someone who has served,” Adams said. She added that “those who are brave enough to put on a uniform wear it with pride” and deserve respect.

“This legislation recognizes all who serve and reminds people what the uniform truly means.”

The province says that the Canadian Forces Base (CFB) in Halifax is the largest military base by population in Canada, noting that Nova Scotia has the highest concentration of military assets in Canada at 40 percent. Continue…

Conservative MP, MLA Speak Out on Free Speech as BC Tories Expel Staffer

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/conservative-mp-mla-speak-out-on-free-speech-as-bc-tories-expel-staffer-5923662?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-3

A federal Conservative MP is condemning “cancel culture” after the B.C. Conservatives dropped a staffer over online comments about the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

MP Aaron Gunn’s comments come after the recent firing of B.C. Conservative communications staffer Lindsay Shepherd, who says she was dismissed Oct. 1 as a result of a Sept. 25 social media post in which she disagreed with B.C.’s provincial legislature flying an orange flag ahead of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation marked on Sept. 30.

The day has been observed since a B.C. First Nation claimed ground-penetrating radar had found the remains of children at a former residential school in 2021, with similar announcements following across the country afterward.

“The most embarrassing form of ‘cancel culture’ is when it’s practiced by conservatives who spent their entire careers bemoaning its existence, or even being a victim of it, only to turn around and do it themselves,”

Conservative MP Aaron Gunn posted Oct. 1 on X, without referring directly to Shepherd’s dismissal.

Gunn’s comment about victims of cancel culture becoming its practitioners appeared to refer to B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad, who was kicked out of the B.C. Liberal Party in the summer of 2022 after reposting a social media post expressing doubt about human causation of climate change. Continue…

Enbridge CEO Calls for End to Tanker Ban Off BC Coast, Says It Discourages Pipeline Investment

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/enbridge-ceo-calls-for-end-to-tanker-ban-off-bc-coast-says-it-discourages-pipeline-investment-5923874?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-2

The CEO of Canada’s largest pipeline company is calling for the removal of the oil tanker ban off British Columbia’s northwest coast, saying it deters pipeline investment and holds back Canada’s economic potential.

Enbridge CEO Gregory Ebel made the comments on Oct. 2 while addressing the Empire Club of Canada, a Canadian speakers’ forum, in Toronto. He said Canada is at a decisive moment to capitalize on its natural resources and boost competitiveness through energy infrastructure, but that government regulations, such as the B.C. oil tanker ban, have created uncertainty and discouraged investment.

“There is a good reason the Alberta government has become the proponent of a pipeline to the north coast of BC,” Ebel said, referring to the province’s recent announcement that it will act as proponent and submit an application to the federal government’s Major Projects Office for a new bitumen pipeline to B.C.’s northwest coast.

“The previous government’s tanker ban effectively makes that export pipeline illegal. No company would build a pipeline to nowhere,” he added. “The tanker ban is a great example of how things will have to change to allow our country to maximize its economic potential.”

Ottawa in 2019 implemented a ban on the traffic of large oil tankers off British Columbia’s north coast, citing environmental concerns. The ban ended prospects for the previously proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, which would have transported oil from Alberta to Kitimat on B.C.’s north coast. Continue…

Cross-Canada Tour to Ensure Access to Natural Health Products Set for Oct. 4

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/cross-canada-tour-to-ensure-access-to-natural-health-products-set-for-october-5922833?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-0

A Canada-wide tour to advocate for reversal of new regulations for natural health products is set to launch in October.

The tour, put together by the Natural Health Product Protection Association (NHPPA), begins Oct. 4 in Victoria and makes several stops en-route to Ottawa, where the organizers intend to submit a petition and a “Charter of Health Freedom.” The organization says its petition will be presented in the House of Commons by Conservative MP Blaine Calkins.

The tour includes two other groups travelling from the Maritimes and Quebec, as well as a flight from Whitehorse, with the goal of converging at the nation’s capital on Oct. 25.

When the federal government passed Bill C-47 in 2023, Health Canada was given more jurisdiction for the oversight and regulation of natural health products (NHPs). This included a redefinition of therapeutics, the authority to impose increased fees and testing protocols, and the discretion to levy considerably larger fines for non-compliance.

According to the president and founder of the NHPPA, the changes could mean “life or death” for many consumers of natural health products if the products they rely on become more restricted or expensive.

“We’re talking between being totally disabled and being perfectly healthy,” Shawn Buckley, a constitutional lawyer and founder and president of NHPPA, said in an interview with The Epoch Times. Continue…

Netflix Hemorrhages $15 BILLION in Just One Week After Elon Musk Calls for Boycott Over Woke Cartoon Pushing Trans Agenda to Kids (Videos)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/10/netflix-hemorrhages-15-billion-just-one-week-after/

Netflix is in free fall.

The streaming giant lost more than $15 billion in market value in just one week, according to Forbes, after Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk urged his 227 million followers to cancel their subscriptions “for the health of your kids.”

Musk’s call to action came after he blasted a Netflix cartoon, Dead End: Paranormal Park, which features a gay transgender teenage boy and a bisexual girl with autism as main characters, a show that has been marketed to children as young as seven, according to Newsmax.

The boycott gained traction after the conservative account Libs of TikTok exposed the show’s content and resurfaced disturbing allegations about its creator, Hamish Steele. Continue…

Hurting someone’s feelings could be punishable under Canadian hate crime bill: legal expert

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/hurting-someones-feelings-could-be-punishable-under-canadian-hate-crime-bill-legal-expert/

Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms president John Carpay said that Bill C-9 in effect seeks to make it the law to 'punish the emotion of hate.'

One of Canada’s leading constitutional law experts blasted a new Liberal “hate crime” bill as something that would “empower police” and the government to go after those it deems have violated a person’s “feelings” in a “hateful” way.

In a recent commentary piece posted by The Epoch Times, Canadian legal expert and lawyer John Carpay, founder and president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), observed that the Liberals’ Bill C-9, or Combating Hate Act, is dangerous.

“Canada’s Criminal Code should punish bad behaviour, not bad feelings. Canadians need protection from crime, not from offensive opinions that might be considered ‘hateful’ by some but not by others,” Carpay wrote.

Carpay said that it seems the Liberals are “fixated on further criminalizing feelings of hatred that criminals may have had when carrying out their crimes.”

“Defining hate is near-impossible, as can be seen whenever politicians and judges attempt to do so,” he wrote. Continue…

Thousands to join National Life Chain in Canada to defend unborn babies on October 5

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/thousands-to-join-national-life-chain-in-canada-to-defend-unborn-babies-on-october-5/

Pro-lifers across Canada will participate in the National Life Chain next Sunday, standing along roadways to pray and hold signs advocating for the sanctity of human life and an end to abortion.

Pro-lifers will defend life in the womb along roadways and intersections at the National Life Chain this Sunday.

On October 5, Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) is hosting Life Chain, an annual public witness to the sanctity of human life that will gather thousands of pro-lifers to pray for an end to abortion while holding pro-life signs.

“Life Chain is such an important ministry because in many communities, it is the only time the pro-life message is shared with residents,” CLC Director of Education & Advocacy Josie Luetke told LifeSiteNews.

“Life Chain ensures that at least once per year a busy family may witness to their pro-life convictions, no matter where they live in Canada,” she continued. “It’s a simple and accessible starting point for pro-life action.”

This year, there are over 350 locations across Canada. CLC has published a map with rally locations, including rallies in Yukon and Northwest Territories. Pro-lifers will stand along roadways, holding pro-life signs. Many also spend the time praying for an end to abortion. Continue…
