Former U.S. president Bill Clinton considers Mark Carney a longtime friend and called the prime minister “about the most well qualified leader in the world.”
Clinton made the remarks Tuesday evening during a campaign event in Florida for David Jolly, the Democratic nominee for governor.
The urban violence that has gripped France over the past week has been wilfully misunderstood.
Some still claim that the widespread rioting is part of a protest about education or the cost of living. Others unthinkingly insist that it is simply part of French people’s long-standing, popular tradition of taking to the streets to make their views known. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leader of the Islamo-leftist La France Insoumise (LFI), has even invoked the spirit of the May 1968 protests – when student revolts and a general strike brought France to a standstill – to justify the riots. Rival politicians and commentators have since rounded on Mélenchon and blamed LFI for encouraging and licensing the violent behaviour of the rioters.
Don’t believe your lyin eyes!

Why do the rioters trashing Paris wave the ‘Palestinian’ flag? Because to them, France is Israel and they’re the ‘Palestinians’ out to destroy it and replace it with their own terrorist state.
The ‘white’ in the ‘Palestinian’ flag represents the Umayyad caliphate which had once invaded France, conquered Narbonne, and genocided its Christian population, until it was thrown back by indigenous Christian resistance at the Battle of Toulouse and the Battle of Tours.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says his government will “not budge” from its commitment to bring immigration to sustainable levels, as Immigration Minister Lena Diab declined to answer reporters’ questions Wednesday morning.
“We are not going to budge from getting immigration levels to sustainable levels,” Carney told reporters while entering the weekly Liberal caucus meeting on Parliament Hill.
“We’re getting them to that level now.”
Carney the inveterate liar has declared war on us.

A ring of steel was placed around French president Emmanuel Macron’s family macaron shop to protect it from rioters and looters as other businesses burned, it emerged today.
Astonishing video shot on the worst day of the current anti-government insurrection shows the confectionery outlet in his home town of Amiens, northern France, surrounded by at least two platoons of CRS police.
🇫🇷 While businesses ACROSS France were left to be looted, 6 police vans sat outside a chocolate shop linked to Brigitte Macron… 🙄
Footage shows police vehicles outside the Trogneux family chocolaterie, which is run by Brigitte Macron’s great-nephew.
A police union is now demanding answers, questioning why so many officers appeared to be stationed there.
The local authorities insist the officers were protecting the wider shopping district, not just that one store.
But you can see why these images have people asking some questions…

The shortest flight path from Russia to the United States would take an enemy bomber over the North Pole and across Canadian airspace. During the Cold War, that simple fact was the impetus for the creation of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, which forged an integrated radar network across the two countries, effectively treating North American airspace as a single defensive zone.

Another fake polling scandal has hit less than two weeks before the midterm elections, ripping open old wounds about the Michigan Democratic Senate primary and renewing skepticism about pollsters as they increasingly forecast a blue wave on Nov. 3.
An outfit called Wedgewood Polls released a statement on social media Tuesday acknowledging most of its results were not legitimate, but rather some kind of experiment designed to show serious problems with how polls are conducted and then reported on by the media.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford both disputed the suggestion of Canadian interference in the U.S. midterms, after the U.S. embassy in Canada released a list of quotes from Canadian politicians which it claims indicate “plans to influence American politics.”
Industry Minister Mélanie Joly is quoted five times in the list the embassy released Wednesday.
The U.S. Embassy in Ottawa has just issued a fact sheet accusing Canadian politicians of trying to influence American politics. It ends with a rather pointed warning: “Americans decide America’s elections.” https://t.co/q5Y72MJMiP

I think the USA is just yanking Joly’s chain.
United States Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said that there will soon be trilateral conversations between Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. in hopes of getting the war to end.
Witkoff and Special Envoy Jared Kushner have been holding conversations with both Ukrainian and Russian representatives, including Russian president Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, even though tensions have recently strained between Trump and Zelensky in light of a recent U.S.-Russia diesel agreement.

Alongside Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced an $8.7-billion support package for steel, critical mineral and auto sectors on Wednesday.
The partnership with the Ontario government earmarks $2.5 billion over two years for the province’s auto industry to build the “connected and electric vehicles of the future.”
Ottawa is providing $1.5 billion of the auto funding with Ontario providing the remaining $1 billion.
The British police are causing me a great deal of anxiety and distress
Could someone please arrest them ?

In Revolutionary France, the guillotine was a privilege reserved for the nobility, though the nobles themselves would surely have preferred a different sort of privilege. Before the Revolution, commoners were simply hanged. But when equality was extended to criminal law, decapitation became the fate of everyone, neatly encapsulating the peculiar humanitarian sensibility of the revolutionaries in their determined pursuit of equality. But beheading people is an expensive business, especially when you are unleashing the Terror and planning to remove the heads of more than a thousand citizens every week. Consider that executioners were paid around $700, and that the axes of the time, as has been documented, lost their edge far too quickly. Whether this was due to the executioners’ incompetence or the stubborn resilience of their victims’ necks, I cannot say. The revolutionaries therefore turned to the famous invention of Joseph-Ignace Guillotin: the guillotine, which P. G. Wodehouse described as the only remedy for grey hair.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is rewriting the rules of its economic immigration system to favour foreign workers in well-paid occupations, allowing employers to bypass looking at the Canadian talent pool first. Returning to a merit-based point system for high-skilled immigrants is a shift economists have long urged after years of high-volume, low-wage intake, but the latest policy change could cause controversy with Canadians given current polling trends.
What Carney tells reporters in French "We want to arrive at sustainable immigration levels. Well, we’ll see"

In 2008, California voters approved funding for a high-speed rail line between San Francisco and Los Angeles. A group of contractors donated tens of thousands of dollars to support the ballot measure. A state program manager projected that the initiative would create more than 100,000 construction jobs.
Eighteen years and more than $15 billion later, not a single mile of high-speed track has been laid. The state hasn’t even laid track on the rump Merced-Bakersfield line that it wants to open in the 2030s. In a recently resurfaced video from his time as lieutenant governor, Gavin Newsom said the full project was unlikely to “materialize in our lifetime.”
Canada’s Alto boondoggle will follow this plan.
