I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

?!?!?!

Very useful thread

India still one of the main perpetrators of foreign interference and espionage in Canada, CSIS says Canada's spy agency says India remains one of the main perpetrators of foreign interference and espionage against Canada.

NEW from me: India still one of the main perpetrators of foreign interference and espionage in Canada, @csiscanada tells me.
First time a security agency contradicts a senior government official who earlier this week said that activity from India is “not continuing”.

A fun episode that gets more fun as we go. @christopher.bsky.social is one of Canada’s best journalists covering natsec and shares his view on covering these issues. (Recorded before the Iran chaos, but provides some great background.)

I hate the conversation about “productivity” because no one ever explains what it actually means or what they are talking about.

This is a fantastic explainer.

Good. Will be a formidable challenge for an inquest to deliver findings and recommendations on such a complex of huge issues: mental health, public safety, firearm oversight, and tech company/law enforcement information-sharing.

Headlines moved on quickly from the schoolgirls in Minab. We don’t know their names; no media profiles about their lives and aspirations. No smiling photos attached to quotes from mourning families.

How unfair that some dead are memorialised while others are relegated to ‘estimated casualties.’

by the way, striking iran without congressional (and/or UN, although they're basically irrelevant) authorization is an impeachable offense.

Could is not Would ... For the Iranian, this is a two-front war: one external, the other an internal struggle over who will succeed Khamenei.

Nearly 2 Dozen Retired Harvard Business School Professors Step Into The Democracy Debate Harvard Business School profs urge business leaders to recognize their responsibilities as citizens: 'The cost of silence is incalculable'.

“We are retired Harvard Business School professors. …We ask that the leaders of the business world in the United States — some of whom it has been our privilege to teach — speak out now, act now, in defense of democracy.”

Carney declared the results based international order hypocritical and probably dead at Davos. We are seeing the consequences of what a world without rules looks like.

"The Insider and Novaya Gazeta Europe studied the structure and content of the German-language Telegram ecosystem and found that these channels are part of a single, well-organized disinformation network controlled from the Kremlin and linked to Russian intelligence agencies."

Ahead of Carney trip, Ottawa says India is no longer linked to violent crimes in Canada The federal government now believes India is no longer linked to violent crimes in Canada, a senior official said Wednesday, during a briefing ahead of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s highly

Foreign interference from India, including transnational repression, has been going on in Canada since the 1980s. It did not stop last week. You can agree that stabilization of relations is important with India is important, while not believing this BS. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

With comments from me. It ends with “This seems to be bordering on the politicization of intelligence either from ignorance of the threat or blind opportunism — neither of which is good.”

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.

Mar-A-Lago is repeatedly mentioned in the Epstein files as a scene of criminal activity for an international child trafficking organization and its owner is still the United States president and controls the flow of information surrounding the case.

A screenshot of Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta, during her video provincial address on February 19, 2026 in which she is proposing provincial governments, not the federal government, have the power to select justices appointed to the provincial King's Bench and Appeals courts.

During my announcement yesterday, I LIED when I told Albertans: 80% of Canadian judges donate to the Liberal party.

I said this because I want my UCP gov't appoint federal justices.

This article explains why I lied: www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Amazing to me that that US is just letting this sort of blatant corruption happen

Also Tracey Roseborough looks to have worked in Hong Kong for an executive training company called Corporate Edge International. On a 2018 brochure her name is listed as “Tracey Roseborough Tam” so perhaps she is Lauren Chen/Tam’s mom.

Aikins has the 28th to 30th floor of 360 Main St., so if that business registration references that address, it would be safe to assume that it’s Aikins.

Folks, he believes in the White Genocide Myth

Anti-feminist ideology ‘increasingly relevant’ to national security: CSIS - National | Globalnews.ca Officials with Canada's security and intelligence agency told MPs the ideology 'can function as an enabling factor along pathways to violent extremism' but is not itself a threat.

UK bank bosses plan to set up Visa and Mastercard alternative amid Trump fears Exclusive: First meeting to be held over domestic payments system aimed at reducing reliance on US networks

This is huge news. US credit cards are a major lever for the US in the global financial system. A viable alternative would significantly weaken US financial power (and would greatly help people sanctioned by the US, like ICC judges....)

This is why @hootsuite.com’s actions are so shameful. They are enabling an administration seeking to crack down on lawful speech and protest to terrify those opposing their hateful actions by targeting social media.

Graph showing U.S. consumer goods prices graphed against when Trump's tariffs came into effect. It shows a clear a significant price jump in goods captured by those tariffs, and considerably more stable prices for imports not touched by those imports. Critically, it also shows *domestic* goods unaffected by tariffs increasing in price, suggesting the tariffs are adding more economy-wide inflationary pressure.

Second graph contrasting domestic vs. imported goods price showing there is a +3.64 percentage point deviation from the trend for domestic goods and +6.19 points for imported goods.

Mamma mia. I missed this paper when it came out a couple of weeks ago, but it found Trump's "tariffs led to both rapid and gradual retail price increases." The tariffs are hammering both imports and domestic-made goods — the opposite of what Trump says he wants.
