Others were at the beach.
If U.S. President Donald J. Trump was upset about Premier Doug Ford telling him to “kiss” his behind, there’s no telling how he may react to an Ontario judge saying the man charged in shooting up the American consulate in downtown Toronto does not have to sit in jail and is free to wait at home until his trial. […]
Just steps from where the March 10 shooting occurred, Jabbi strolled into the courtroom to face the Crown’s office challenging his July 7 strict conditions bail release. Later in the day, he walked right out those doors free of shackles or handcuffs and on release after a judge dismissed the attempt to keep him incarcerated. The judge also implemented a publication ban that does not allow reporting of the reasons.
Incidentally, he’s also linked to the murder of Toronto Police Const. Marc Pinizzotto in June, so there’s that.
SDA regular ‘Orson’ has brought this to our attention:
The United States’ Agency for International Development’s Inspector General’s office announced Wednesday that it has referred more than 100 current or former employees of a United Nations relief agency to the State Department over their participation in the October 7 terror attacks in Israel.
The referrals include three people they suggested be debarred by the department, including a former United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees school teacher and Hamas operative who allegedly received and held civilian hostages beginning on October 7, 2023.

Sorry Antifa, these are the new rules.
In a recent post (seen below) circulating widely on Instagram, Antifa and anarchist accounts appear to admit that Plan R* was never intended for the full legal force of the U.S. government’s sanctions regime.
It notes that the sanctions schema targets not the digital infrastructure but “The world around it” preventing the collective from banking, accepting donations, purchasing domains, or acquiring bandwidth. It goes on to warn U.S.-based supporters against attempting to circumvent sanctions without qualified legal advice, providing a list of “dos and don’ts” including “Do Not: Improvise donations, reroute funds, disguise payments, access private data, promise direct services, guess at sanctions law.”
Indeed, U.S. persons are prohibited from either receiving or providing any services to or from A/I Collective at all. That means hundreds of violent far-left actors in the United States may be scrambling to find new digital homes, or else face potential criminal investigation and liability.
There seems to be some surprise within the Antifa/Anarchist networks that the Trump administration has been successful in landing a genuine blow. After decades of hiding behind the legal fiction that “Antifa doesn’t exist,” the idea that the government might successfully target not just a handful of individual anarchists but elements of the network apparatus upon which they rely seems to have come as something of a shock.

Trump announces major Venezuela oil deal, and what it means for Canada
The timing of this, in the midst of a major trade dispute between Canada and the US, as well as the impending Alberta independence referendum, if likely no coincidence. Trump may have just played his trump card, as it were. If our biggest customer of our most valuable product no longer needs or wants it, what are we to do?
CBC reversed its 9/11 language guidance Friday, allowing journalists to describe the attacks as terrorism without attribution after the leaked directive sparked widespread backlash.
The change came amid criticism from FBI Director Kash Patel, who threatened ties with Canadian agencies that refused to reject the policy, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre demanded CBC retract it and apologize.
CBC said the change applies specifically to 9/11, while its broader attribution policy for other acts of politically or ideologically motivated violence remains intact.
This is the state broadcaster. Patel should follow through.

Got some raw news tips that will shock or delight us? Please do share!
A day after the federal government unveiled its new retaliatory measures against the US amid the trade war, NDP Leader Avi Lewis is calling on the Liberals to tax energy and critical mineral exports to the US.
There has been growing momentum across the political spectrum behind the idea of using Canadian exports as leverage in the dispute. In recent days, several politicians including Jean Chrétien, Jason Kenney, and David Eby have called on the Carney government to impose or consider imposing an export tax as an option for responding to US tariffs.
The Trump administration is in talks with Venezuela’s interim government about taking an ownership stake in the South American country’s enormous oil resources, two U.S. officials tell Axios.
Why it matters: The historic deal would more than double U.S. oil reserves by drawing from a country that has the world’s largest proven reserves.
