Impeccable vetting: Former CIA official arrested after feds find $40M worth of gold bars stashed at his home
Smoke Signals
When Winnipeg police laid out the largest drug seizure in Manitoba history last week — more than 525 kilograms of cocaine, methamphetamine and fentanyl, 14 firearms, and $825,000 in cash — the bricks of narcotics and the row of guns drew the cameras. A quieter item in the evidence locker did not: 1.35 million contraband cigarettes.
To a former senior Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) organized crime investigator who has spent decades tracing the illicit tobacco trade, that detail was perhaps the most revealing thing in the multi-agency probe. Illegal cigarettes, he told The Bureau, are the connective tissue of the networks that flood hard drugs from China and Mexico into Canadian communities. If tobacco produced on Indigenous lands fueling fentanyl production does not register with citizens, he says, the one billion in tax dollars lost every year in Ontario alone should at least raise eyebrows.

Good Riddance To Bad Rubbish
These days I’ll take any sign of improvement within the Federal government as a victory. The by-election, being in Montreal, will be a slam dunk for the Libs nonetheless.
Earlier in the day, Carney said he wishes Guilbeault “all the best” in whatever he chooses to do with his career next.
Carney said he understands that “things change.”
New Governor, Same As The Old Governor
@ezralevant – 93 different Tim Hortons are looking for Temporary Foreign Workers RIGHT NOW.
The Doctor Will Kill You Now
A double double with a side of blue needle;
A London, Ont., doctor who assessed a patient with inflammatory bowel disease and a history of mental health issues for MAID outside a Tim Hortons location and later personally drove the man to the place his life was ended has agreed to a minimum six months’ supervision.
In another case, Dr. James MacLean failed to administer one of three drugs used in assisted deaths — one that paralyzes the body’s muscles, including the muscles involved in breathing. The patient resumed spontaneously breathing again after initially being pronounced dead, and after MacLean had already left the home.
My goodness, he agreed to a supervision. That’ll teach him.

Important to note regarding Mark Carney’s renewal of a law enforcement agreement with China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS):
A document from August of 2023 states that the RCMP did not want to renew the agreement with the MPS after it expired.
“While the RCMP continues to seek ways to mitigate and navigate the current reality of the Canada-China bilateral relationship, in order to progress on law enforcement issues of mutual concern, it does not envision renewing its expired Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) in the immediate future.”
Revenge Of The Normals
Don Surber: For RINOs this year, May was the cruelest month as MAGA voters primaried those who defied their orders.
And more.
Ken Paxton's victory in Texas has, I think, interesting implications for the national political scene.
Coming on top of a string of similar events, this is very bad news for anybody who wants to think MAGA is declining in influence or Trump is a spent force.
I'm not MAGA – I'm…

Canada’s Journalists Are Hard Up For a Hero
The entirety of this post was shared by an SDA regular who wishes to remain anonymous, but I cannot take credit for his excellent research and writing:
Two days ago Canadian dailies were headlining this story, as if this fellow was some kind of true grit hero.
But you can’t expect a subsidized media to spoil the narrative with the truth.
It’s easy to be an elbows-upper when taxpayers foot your bills.

I tried to warn them about that old, romantic view, and as you know, I’m usually right about nearly everything.
The old, romantic view of multiculturalism was food, festivals and colourful clothes.
The new, realistic view of multiculturalism is grooming gangs, cousin marriage, polygamy, child rape, self-imposed segregation, tribal feuds, honour killings, and filth.
