Florida has designated the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood as domestic terrorist groups, opening the way for sweeping restrictions on their activities across the state, top Indian intelligence sources told CNN-News18.
The move, approved by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet on September 29, comes under the state’s new terrorism law, HB 1471, and places restrictions on funding, contracts and access to state institutions.
Toronto Public Health (TPH) is warning of “increased” mpox activity in the city with 14 new cases confirmed since September.
… The viral infection is spread through close contact or sexual contact with a person who has the virus, including contact with skin lesions, blisters, body fluids or respiratory secretions. TPH said that gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men continue to be the most affected group.
If you’re curious why the media is spreading so much false information about the riots, consider:
— The French Culture Ministry paid €204.7 million in direct aid to the news media in 2023, of which Le Monde received €8.3 million, L’Humanité €6.5 million and Libération €6.3 million
— The @afpfr runs “fact-checks” in 26 languages, received €120 million from the French state in 2025, against €200.3 million in commercial revenue. @AFP is French government propaganda and disinformation
— European governments are committed through a UN agreement to spread pro-mass migration propaganda by funding it directly. The “migration compact,” which 152 governments voted for in the UN General Assembly in 2018, commits them to “stopping allocation of public funding… to media outlets that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism and other forms of discrimination towards migrants,” which is broadly interpreted to cover criticism of mass migration policies
— To maintain control over news media, the European Commission funds a network of 15 fact-checking hubs with tens of millions of euros, and its rules require platforms to give priority to notices from “trusted flaggers.”
— Governments fund think tanks to produce reports, including ones demanding censorship, that the news media cover sympathetically and editorialize in support of.
— The @ISDglobal in London — which demands censorship of people it disagrees with on climate change, gender, and migration, refuses to speak with journalists, and lists a phony address — lists among its funders the British Foreign Office, the U.S. Departments of Homeland Security and Justice, the German Foreign Office and the European Commission, along with Google and Microsoft.

— Public reported in 2024 that ISD and the German fact-checker Correctiv, both government-funded, had spread false claims about German farmers and opposition politicians.

Read the entire thread it helps answer why Carney is hot for the European Union.

OTTAWA — A proposed Canadian law would penalize social media platforms for failing to crack down on content that promotes self-harm and disordered eating to a child.
But what if that child went elsewhere on the internet, and found a pro-suicide forum offering advice on how to take their own life?
“It’s hard to speculate on what would and wouldn’t be done. I think there’s some clear things that would be covered” under the law, said Culture Minister Marc Miller, who introduced the Carney government’s Safe Social Media Act back in June.
They want you dead faster.
Sometimes, a simple I-told-you-so just won’t do. Some failures are so massive and utterly predictable that they call for an I-told-you-so dance, or better yet, an entire I-told-you-so song-and-dance number from a 1950s Hollywood Technicolor musical, complete with a chorus line, water skiers, and possibly an elephant in a tutu.
“Babies,” which recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, tells the story of a longtime married couple deciding not to have children. The comedy is the definitive answer to the question the celebrity couple, director Lauren Miller Rogen and husband Seth Rogen, have fielded for years: when are you going to have a baby?
The decision whether to have children is rather personal, and it is easy to empathize with a couple who have faced scrutiny over their decision. Even so, the cultural norm of associating babies with marriage is a good thing.
Warner Bros. went all in on star Tom Cruise and director Alejandro G. Iñárritu by pouring about $250 million down the shitter into Digger, which is now not only a confirmed flop, but a historical flop.
With a production budget rumored to be around $180 million and a promotion budget that must have grazed at least $70 million, Digger opened to a dreadful $8 million despite a massive release into over 3,300 theaters.
Imagine a diet where you only count calories at lunch and dinner. The weekend brunch, the post-work beers and the midnight tub of ice cream don’t count. And when you do track your fries, you label them as vegetables.
DUBAI—Before Hamam al-Hammami stood behind his captain on FlyDubai Flight 1073 and raised an emergency ax to begin the assault that nearly brought down the plane, there had been ample opportunity for authorities in three countries to keep him from getting anywhere near that cockpit.
Oman had scrutinized his online habits and decided he showed too much interest in radical ideology to trust as a pilot at state carrier Oman Air, where he worked. They banned him from flying, sent him to a deradicalization program and put him in a desk job but didn’t flag their concerns more broadly, people familiar with the matter said.
When FlyDubai hired him in February, it didn’t contact Oman to vet his experience. The company did do a criminal-background check, a person familiar with the process said. The airline later put him on the sensitive route to Tel Aviv, where he flew multiple times, people familiar with the matter said.
I had an epiphany the other day about life in Canada. It came to me, of all places, in a grocery store, holding an $11 carton of milk. The shop in question was Summerhill Market, an upscale store in an upscale part of Toronto, with prices to match: $10.49 for a dozen eggs, $14.36 for a single chicken breast, $20 for a small bag of rice. At 37 years old, I’m doing all right—I no longer worry about paying the rent every month—but I still only go to Summerhill to scan the aisles for clearance stickers. Otherwise, I retreat to the nearby No Frills. I used to marvel at how Summerhill stayed afloat during an affordability crisis—until I started paying attention to the other shoppers. Most are seniors, filling their baskets with $20 bags of potato chips and other little luxuries I could never imagine buying.
I get the feeling Carney’s LPC is softening us up to accept the elite’s enjoyment of communism while we enjoy the tyranny.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Dozens of countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, France and Australia, are failing to assist nationals as young as 12 who are detained in Iraq over alleged links to the Islamic State (ISIS), despite risks of torture, ill-treatment and possible execution, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Monday.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) transferred around 5,700 ISIS detainees from prisons in the Kurdish-held northeast Syria (Rojava) to Iraqi custody in January and February as clashes intensified between Damascus and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Good. Leave them there.
Since assuming office a year and a half ago, Prime Minister Mark Carney has repeatedly promised that his government would “build Canadian and buy Canadian.”
But American-controlled multinational corporations have dominated the most lucrative federal contracts under Carney’s leadership, a Toronto Star analysis of government data shows. The share of government contract dollars going to U.S. companies also increased.
Since Carney was sworn in as Prime Minister in March 2025 and up to the end of July 2026 — the latest available data — Ottawa awarded $25 billion in contracts to buy everything from cloud services to military vehicles and office furniture.
I never thought we would see another government so ready to lie about everything.
Iran’s national security adviser has warned that the rapidly deteriorating economy has plunged the country into one of the most difficult periods in its history.
Mohsen Rezaei, Iran’s top security official, made the rare admission on Saturday at a high-level government meeting about how to stabilize the economy after more than seven months of war.
Iran’s currency, the rial, has plummeted since the United States and Israel launched the war on Iran in February. The decline has accelerated sharply in recent weeks, since the United States ratcheted up sanctions and enforced a naval blockade. That has made imports more expensive and deepened a longstanding cost of living crisis that sparked nationwide protests last December that the security forces crushed with deadly force.
Iran is hitting a wall. Every day the Rial falls to a new low. That’s a major vindication for the blockade and US sanctions. Iran’s economy is imploding, even as it’s lost its stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has played its cards very poorly…

A series of internal Department of National Defence documents suggest Canadian troops were ill-prepared and occasionally ill-equipped for the harsh conditions they faced last winter during a major training exercise with American forces in Alaska.
The evaluation reports, obtained by CBC News, show the military has a lot to learn and a long way to go to rebuild its capability to defend the Arctic.
The US has withdrawn all of its bombers from RAF Fairford, the UK military base at the centre of an incident being investigated by counter-terror police.
A statement from a Pentagon official confirmed on Sunday it had removed its bombers – thought to be about a dozen B-1s – from the base back to their home stations in America.
US media reported a new threat led to the bombers being removed, which follows a major incident on 27 September when police were alerted to three “suspicious vehicles” near the airbase.
Everyone arrested has been released. One of the “Terrorists” called 999 themselves.
