I don’t know the truth about Epstein but I will say this. Anyone who thinks “transparency” is easy does not understand the system. Every legal matter in this country is a thicket of barriers to disclosure: confidentially agreements, attorney/client privilege, non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreements, and classified information in cases like this the disclosure of which involves criminal penalties.
The result is an unfathomably large underworld of legal machinations about which the public knows nothing. And never will. This is true in every sector, to say nothing of the classified sector. Transparency is a slogan, something easy to expect and demand, but the reality is impenetrably complicated and fraught with grave consequences all around.
Every bit of litigation means burying facts deep within this substructure of public life, everything mediated by lawyers and judges and settlements with infinitely complicated terms that are valid in perpetuity. The long case of Epstein must face a thicket more complicated than any in human history.
oh then there are gag orders for any existing litigation!This is why whenever Bondi speaks about this, she chooses her words extremely carefully and looks rattled and nervous. Of course she is hiding information, not because she is guilty but because she is coached by dozens of lawyers. This is probably why Trump is sick of it.
A senior Indo-Canadian gangster from an ultra-violent British Columbia–based fentanyl trafficking gang with ties to Latin cartels, Chinese Triads, and Hezbollah was taken down in a stunning U.S. government sting that saw a thick-accented Chinese narco casually promise an undercover agent at a Vancouver café that he could ship 100 kilograms of fentanyl precursors per month from Vancouver to Los Angeles, using his trucking company fronted by an Indo-Canadian associate.
The case is detailed in a sprawling DEA probe spanning Turkey, Mexico City, Dubai, Australia, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Hong Kong, and Los Angeles — all captured in a 29-page affidavit with scenes so surreal they could rival a Hollywood script, complete with underworld nicknames like “Burger,” “Queen,” and “Darth Vader.”
At the center is Opinder Singh Sian, a Canadian national and longtime Lower Mainland underworld figure who survived targeted shootings and reportedly leads the Brothers Keepers gang — a key proxy for the Sinaloa cartel in Canada, interoperable with other Latin American cartels, Chinese Communist Party chemical suppliers, and working alongside the Kinahans, a notorious Irish crime family now based in Dubai and closely linked to Hezbollah finance networks.

Sun- Cherry sets record straight on MacLean’s claim ‘Poppygate’ was TV exit strategy
The one thing Don Cherry learned this summer is his longtime television sidekick is no longer in the Coach’s Corner. And Ron MacLean hasn’t been since he abandoned on a Saturday night in 2019, leaving Grapes to take the full force of woke Canada while saving his own skin. But, still, the legendary former Boston Bruins coach was shocked with what he read on Friday.

Adam Zivo- The Left Thinks Drug Criminalization Is Racist. Minorities Disagree
Notably, Indigenous respondents seemed to be the most anti-drug ethnic group: only 20 percent agreed (weakly or strongly) with the “criminalization is racist” narrative, while 61 percent disagreed. Once again, those who disagreed were much more vehement than those who agreed.
We saw similar outcomes for other minority groups, such as South Asians, Southeast Asians, Latinos, and blacks.
Canadian trade policy is now so contradictory that I’ll admit to not being able to keep things straight anymore. I thought the whole purpose of the “Elbows Up” campaign was to demonstrate that we could replace declining trade with the US by increasing trade with other nations. Now we appear to be doing our level best to shut the trade door with everyone else. Go figure.
The federal department of finance says it will limit the amount of foreign steel coming into the country by placing a tariff on imports that exceed a certain threshold from countries that do not have a free trade agreement with Canada.
The policy, known as a “tariff rate quota,” announced on Friday allows non-free trade countries to send the same volume of steel to Canada that they sent in recent years, but applies a 50 per cent tariff if they exceed a designated threshold in any single quarter.

Dan Knight- Carney’s Digital Tax Debacle: How Ottawa Triggered a Trade Fallout with Washington
The Digital Services Tax, passed by the Liberal government and implemented under Mark Carney’s leadership, applies a 3% levy on revenue—not profits—earned by large digital firms operating in Canada. And it’s retroactive. That means it’s being applied to earnings from as far back as January 1, 2022, with companies forced to make lump-sum payments by June 30, 2025.
The elbows are flapping now – Canada rescinds digital services tax to advance broader trade negotiations with the United States (update by Kate)
It’s often said that certain services like public transit have to be publicly owned allegedly because they are “common pool goods”. Most of these services run at a considerable financial loss as well. Rather than turn a profit, the response is almost always to force taxpayers to cover the deficits, however much they grow. But it doesn’t have to be that way. As the folks at the Mises Institute point out, private ownership of mass transit was actually a reality at one time:
For example, the golden age of the New York City subways was at the beginning in 1904. That’s when a private management company built much of the system—because the city was at its debt limit and couldn’t do it—and made a lot of money, helped clear slums in Lower Manhattan, and created what was called “an engineering marvel” by author Robert Caro in the book The Power Broker, a biography of uber-builder Robert Moses.
Later the subway system was taken over by the government because the private management system—over 37 years—was never able to raise the nickel fare. The government took over and started to wreck the system.
Now we know why the Minnesota assassin story disappeared overnight.
“I’m just surprised at the number of the people at the front of the parade who were watching, cheering and then would come and ask to take a selfie,” MSNBC’s Ali Velshi said. “This is a very different mood here. People seem to be going out of their way to say that they’re here to celebrate the Army’s 250th birthday.”

Blacklock’s- Carney Flees Gaza Protestors
Carney joined eight Liberal MPs in attending Eid al-Adha observances in Ottawa. “All of us must come together around the values of Eid, the values of community, of generosity and yes, of sacrifice,” said Carney. “These are Muslim values. These are Canadian values.”
The Prime Minister was scheduled to tour a Muslim Association bazaar. Carney instead cut short his visit without comment as protestors began chanting, “Free Palestine.”

Now that the election is over and the culture is safe from the predations of those nasty conservatives, the mainstream financial media can now openly admit what most SDA readers have known for months: the Canadian economy is headed for the dumpster.
TD expects another 100,000 Canadian jobs could be lost through the third quarter, bringing the unemployment rate to a peak of 7.2 per cent, a full percentage point higher than the bank’s December forecast.
The bank has also downgraded its forecast for gross domestic product and is now calling for a contraction in the second and third quarters of this year.

Globe and Mail- Carney’s cabinet: a familiar mix of quotas, duplication and pork-barrel politics
Ladies and gentlemen, we have been had.
Cast your mind back two months, to March 14. On that day, just five days after he had won the Liberal leadership, Mark Carney was sworn in as Prime Minister, at the same time appointing a new cabinet. The air was thick with talk of “new realities” and “existential crises.”
