National Post: The Canadian publisher of the Franklin the Turtle children’s book series condemned U.S. Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth’s use of the normally friendly anthropomorphic animal’s image in a “violent” meme posted to social media.

Yet another example of what happens when a bunch of politicians scream “emergency” and a gullible John Q. Public largely falls for it. This reminds me of a Seinfeld episode where Kramer tries to explain to Jerry what happens when a company makes a bad investment decision: “They just write it off, Jerry!”
Ontario wrote off more than one billion items of personal protective equipment at a cost of $1.4 billion since 2021 and is now burning expired products, the province’s auditor general found.
The province signed long-term contracts for PPE between October 2020 and April 2021 that locked it into buying 188 million surgical masks annually. Yet it only distributed 39 million of those masks last year, or 21 per cent.
Blacklock’s- RCMP Drone Fleet Too Risky
The Mounties misspent millions on China-made drones that are now compromised as “high security risks,” says an internal report. Replacing the Chinese fleet would cost taxpayers another $34 million, it said.

In Minnesota, the bear hug of American liberal virtue, with its self-congratulatory sense of generosity and its lack of any serious demands on the people it thinks it’s helping, embraced a community with the mentality, internal coherence, and organization needed to fully exploit its hosts. The Somali enclave rapidly gained in political power, in part because of the ability of various rival clan networks to turn out large numbers of voters in low-margin DFL primaries. The Somalis became an organizing and voting force in the local DFL and began winning elections: to the Minneapolis school board in 2010, to the city council in 2013, and to the state House of Representatives in 2016 — it would take Ilhan Omar just two more years to make it to Congress. Meanwhile, by the late 2010s, the furtiveness and modest scale of existing frauds joined with the in-group discipline of Somalis to create a dense screen of protection for thieves.
How Minneapolis-Saint Paul became the Medicaid fraud capital of the USA
On Parliament Hill this week, Canada’s political class finally said the quiet part out loud: the country’s financial system is a comfortable playground for criminals, professional enablers, and offshore tax cheats and the people running it have no idea, or won’t say, how often anyone is actually held to account.
The House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance reconvened its study on the use of offshore tax havens Monday, grilling senior RCMP officials about money laundering, tax evasion, fraud, and the role of Canada’s own institutions. What unfolded was part confession, part deflection, and part political damage control by a Liberal government desperate to present cosmetic “solutions” to a problem it has clearly failed to contain.
The witnesses were Chief Superintendent Michael Saghbini, director general for financial crime with the RCMP’s federal policing criminal operations, and Acting Staff Sergeant Chad Babin, a subject-matter expert on financial crime. From the outset, Saghbini framed financial crime as a core RCMP priority, stressing their mandate to “protect Canada’s economic integrity” and their supporting role alongside the Canada Revenue Agency.
He reminded the committee that the CRA, not the RCMP, is the “lead department responsible for investigating tax evasion related to offshore tax havens,” with its own Criminal Investigations Directorate. The RCMP, he said, “plays an important support role on this issue,” getting involved when tax matters intersect with broader criminal activity such as money laundering, fraud, and corruption.
The message was unmistakable: if you’re looking for someone to blame for the lack of high-profile offshore prosecutions, don’t start with the Mounties.[…]
The Government of Canada’s own 2025 National Risk Assessment, Saghbini noted in his opening statement, lists tax evasion as a “high money laundering threat” to the Canadian economy. Proceeds of crime “are routinely wired through tax haven jurisdictions whose opaque financial structures, such as offshore banks, shell companies, trusts [and] law firms, decouple illicit wealth from its original owner,” he said.
In other words: the very architecture of the global financial system, banks, law firms, anonymous companies, is being used to hide the identity of the people moving dirty money. Yet in Canada, a government that claims to be cracking down on this has been conspicuously reluctant to name names or produce results.
