We’re gonna need a bigger revolving door.

Police say three men have been arrested after a lengthy investigation into an organized human trafficking network operating between Ottawa, the Greater Toronto Area, and communities across the province.

On Monday, the Ottawa Police Service and the Ontario Provincial Police announced the results of a joint investigation into human trafficking that was conducted between 2025 and July 2026.

The investigation originated in Ottawa and London, but was expanded to other communities across Ontario, including Windsor, London, Toronto, and Sarnia, according to police.

Moad Ben Yahya, (aka ‘Benzi’) 28, Abdulaziz Al-Zouaghi, (aka ‘Zee’) 27 and Mohammad Elmuradi, (aka ‘Mur’) 26, were arrested in Ottawa on July 8. The three suspects face numerous human trafficking-related charges.

Global News;

The U.S. said Monday it will be imposing an additional 50 per cent tariff on Canadian imports due to retaliatory and “discriminatory” measures Canada took in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Trump signed three executive orders, each one using a different justification for the new tariff: the provincial and territorial boycotts on American alcohol products, Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on U.S.-made vehicles and auto parts, and quotas on American dairy imports under Canada’s supply management system.

The new tariff will take effect in 30 days and will apply to goods covered by the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on free trade (CUSMA), a senior administration official told reporters on background.

“Over the past year and a half, only two countries have chosen to retaliate against President Trump’s tariffs rather than negotiate a deal with the United States: the People’s Republic of China and Canada,” the White House said in a statement on the new tariff.

Canada exports approximately $1.4 billion worth of alcoholic beverages to U.S. annually. U.S. receives roughly 90% of Canada’s total alcohol exports, with spirits.

Canada exports about $360 million worth of dairy products to the U.S. annually.

Reader Eddie McTier kindly sent copies of two books a few weeks ago as a “thank you”, and I’ve been remiss in not posting this sooner.

(Hidden Lair link fixed, sorry!)

But it’s not too late for summer reading material. Check them out by clicking on the images.

Thanks, Eddie!

“Translated from Korean”

Hyundai Motor is effectively withdrawing its planned 3.4 trillion won hydrogen investment in Canada.

This project wasn’t just a simple overseas investment.

It was one of the key cards in the ‘Team Korea’ package, centered around Hanwha Ocean, aimed at securing the contract for Canada’s next-generation submarine project.

The approach was that if Canada chose Korean submarines, Hyundai Motor would build a large-scale hydrogen ecosystem locally as well.

However, as the submarine project tilted toward Germany, Hyundai Motor no longer had reason to continue the massive local investment.

Antisemitism is in their bones and in their blood.

Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), the top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, voted to defund aid and defense sales to Israel. He also explained his vote, but he dropped an interesting nugget buried within his criticism of Israel:

To date, my family and I have had our home vandalized, a fire has been set in my driveway, my neighbors’ lives have been disrupted by demonstrations in the middle of the night, town halls meant to be forums for dialogue have been shut down, and a staff member has been physically assaulted. Those who engage in this type of behavior model a dangerous form of corrosive politics that seeks to intimidate those who disagree with them. We must be able to have civil discourse if we want to solve difficult problems, and I remain committed to open, respectful engagement.

Seems it worked.

There Goes The Narrative

Ann Widdecombe had a very eventful death.

First she died from natural causes, then she was bludgeoned to death by a white man – let’s be very clear, a white man, we found a white man everyone – during a “bungled burglary” – then another white man, definitely a white man, was arrested who “wasn’t politically motivated” and had just randomly driven 300 miles from Rotherham to Ann’s house and back with a weapon.

Then it turned out that yes, it’s being investigated by counter terror police and the suspect is a man who was reading communist literature and has learning difficulties. To be honest, if he’s a communist, you don’t need to tell me he’s got learning difficulties, because if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be a communist.

Ace: The Lotus Eaters podcast pointed out the UK cops now routinely hide the race of a suspect — unless he’s white, in which case they repeat it endlessly, as they did here.
