Conrad Black’s Justifiably Harsh Words for Carney & Co.

Baiting The Left Media The Libranos 41 Comments

Conrad Black isn’t buying into any of the B.S. of the Liberal echo-chamber:

It is with great concern for some of my fellow countrymen, inching precariously toward the edge of utter lunacy, that I write this post.

Prime Minister Mark Carney this week, in an interview with the New York Times, went on record saying it would be “irresponsible” not to plan for the possible contingency of a military invasion of Canada by the United States. Unfortunately, Mr. Carney didn’t misspeak or fall victim to a cherry-picked quote taken out of context. His concern was later reiterated by Defence Minister David McGuinty and Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Soloman.

We all know that Donald Trump has a colourful history of spouting off some truly outrageous whoppers from time to time, but even he has never disseminated something as fatuous, dangerous or dishonest as this. And while he seldom backs down from his outrageous claims, whenever he pushes the envelope too far, at least his entourage goes on damage control to walk back some of his excesses – Carney’s guys are doubling down.

Stupid or Liar?

Sorry for the lack of content today, but I was driving to Washington, DC and showing a friend numerous places along the way. Something very bizarre happened in beautiful Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, which still has my brain frazzled. Here’s hoping some of you can explain to me what happened.

A middle-aged couple was walking towards me with their dog. The man had a Baltimore t-shirt on, so I asked him if he was from there. He explained they lived nearby there. I then explained that I spent a month this past summer staying in rural Maryland and added that, while it was very pretty, it was too hot for my Canadian body. The woman suddenly burst out with, “You’re Canadian? I’m so sorry for you.” Given that this was an ambiguous statement, I asked her to explain. A few seconds later, I regretted asking her. She quickly demonstrated that she had full blown TDS and went on an anti-Trump rant. I then politely responded, “Well, I’m not too happy with my government either.” I added that Mark Carney had recently told the New York Times that he feared an invasion from America. She nodded in agreement with Carney’s sentiments. So I asked her, “Do you seriously believe that Canada is at risk of invasion from America?” She nodded in the affirmative. So then I asked, “Do you really fear Donald Trump more than you fear Communist China?!” She once again nodded in the affirmative.

I was about to ask her what her thoughts about Lindsay Clancy were, but strongly suspected I already knew.

She was lying to my face, right? Or is she really as stupid as the Elbows Up Lieberals in Canada?

The 21st century version of the Springfield Tire Fire. I can’t wait for the day when solar arrays dot the landscape. Can you?

A fire at a solar farm in western P.E.I. is out after some battery cells burned, smouldered and flared up for two weeks.

On the day the fire started, which was the Labour Day holiday, a shelter-in-place order was issued, as well as a voluntary evacuation notice, and some roads were closed. Two schools were closed the following day.

 

Things You’re Gonna See On The CBC

CBC Chinada 11 Comments

“Long live Mao!

50 years after his death, the father of Communist China still inspires” was recently published by the French-language arm of the CBC.

It documents Chinese Mao fanatics who gathered in Shaoshan (Mao’s hometown) to publicly revere and remember the architect of the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, which combined claimed the lives of between 40 and 80 million people.

Given the adoration of the people who are the focus of the coverage, the story strikes an undeniably nostalgic, positive tone — which has left many upset — and Conservative MPs were quick to pick up on the story, condemning the state broadcaster for such flagrant pro-Mao/pro-China propaganda.

They know which side their bread is buttered on.

Only 43lbs Of Fentanyl

There Goes The Narrative 11 Comments

As evidence mounts of Chinese, Mexican cartel and Iranian-linked penetration of Canada’s official institutions and its big banks — a dimension still largely unexamined outside testimony in the Cameron Ortis case, in which the RCMP’s intelligence director was convicted of leaking Five Eyes secrets to large-scale Toronto money launderers tied to terror and Iran — a Canadian judge has decided citizens must see the alleged police corruption that York Regional Police merely stumbled upon while investigating a plot to murder a senior jail official.

The conspiracy, allegedly directed from a jail cell, linked an accused Toronto fentanyl trafficker, a Toronto police officer accused of dealing drugs, and Gurpreet Singh, an alleged cocaine distributor for Ryan Wedding. Singh was being held in Toronto while fighting extradition to face trial with Wedding in the United States. According to separate police filings, he had also been held captive in 2024 by cartel members in Sinaloa, purportedly over a $600,000 drug debt.

Toronto Const. Timothy Barnhardt, who is accused of drug trafficking, allegedly exploited sensitive databases to sell the addresses of people targeted for murder and other violence by Toronto criminal networks linked to Wedding. The former Canadian Olympian has become a significant player for Latin American cartels, according to the U.S. government.

“The importance of public scrutiny in this case cannot be overstated,” Ontario Superior Court Justice Laura Bird wrote in reasons released September 16. “What is, perhaps, most concerning about the allegations of widespread police corruption in this case is the fact that the York Regional Police only stumbled upon it in the course of their investigation into the conspiracy to murder the correctional officer. They conducted a search to determine who may have recently queried the victim’s address and learned that Mr. Barnhardt had. There is no evidence that anyone was suspicious of Mr. Barnhardt or his associates until that moment.”

“That is something that should be of tremendous concern to the public,” she continued, “because it demonstrates that a trusted public official can engage in widespread illegal conduct and go undetected.”

They regret the error.

“Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this article included a statement that was intended to convey Israelis’ perception of the government’s military response to the Oct. 7 terror attack in relation to the attacks, but inadvertently suggested that Israelis’ experience as terror victims was a matter of perception. It has been removed from the article,” the note said.

How it started.

Following a comprehensive, nation-wide, five-month search process, Chief Farooq Hassan Sheikh has been named the 15th Chief of the Regina Police Service.

Chief Sheikh (pronunciation, SHAKE) comes to the Regina Police Service from the Alberta Sheriff’s Service where he’s held the position of Chief since 2021. The Alberta Sheriff’s Service has over one thousand employees, who perform a wide range of law enforcement and public safety activities across the province of Alberta.

Chief Sheikh has over 31-years experience in law enforcement, serving in senior leadership roles for the London Metropolitan Police and West Midlands Police in the United Kingdom and as a member with both the Calgary and Central Saanich Police Services, among others. He has his Masters Degree in Criminology and is passionate about crime prevention through proactive policing. Employee health and well-being is also a priority for him, as policing becomes increasingly dangerous and complex.

“Chief Sheikh is honoured to be serving the citizens of Regina, and leading the incredible employees of the Regina Police Service,” says Board Chair, Jada Yee. “His extensive work with diverse communities and his passion for collaboration will serve our city well.”

The Bureau;

In the escalating controversy over CBC News guidance directing journalists not to describe the al-Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001, as terrorism, FBI personnel assigned to American diplomatic posts in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver were instructed to leave their workplaces and go home, according to a U.S. law-enforcement source with knowledge of interagency communications surrounding the incident.

When The Bureau presented the account to the FBI and asked detailed questions about its scope and operational consequences, the agency neither confirmed nor denied it.

“We will let the Director’s post speak for itself and have nothing additional to provide,” the FBI National Press Office responded.

[…]

On August 27, FBI Director Kash Patel issued an explicit public threat to Canadian agencies that did not repudiate CBC’s guidance:

“Any agency in Canada that doesn’t publicly reject this bastardization of history, and an insult to the souls lost during our largest terrorist attack in US history will no longer have friend in this FBI.”

The following day, Hoekstra reposted Patel’s warning and referenced the FBI’s direct intervention against significant terrorist and violent criminal organizations operating within Canada.

“Just this year, FBI has been instrumental in or directly responsible for multiple disruptions of significant terrorist and violent criminal organizations operating within Canada,” Hoekstra’s post said. “Failure to recognize and confront radical and terrorist ideologies significantly endangers our efforts to establish and harmonize a shared national and economic security partnership.”

Taken together, the two posts show that serious concerns were circulating at senior levels of U.S. law enforcement and diplomacy. The FBI maintains its Canadian legal-attaché headquarters at the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, with suboffices at the American consulates in Toronto and Vancouver.
