FINTRAC’s Referrals to Police for Suspicious Transactions Hit Record in 2025

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/fintracs-referrals-to-police-for-suspicious-transactions-hit-record-in-2025-post-5937394?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=fintrac%E2%80%99s-referrals-to-police-for-suspicious-transactions-hit-record-in-2025-0

Canada’s financial intelligence agency says it sent a record number of cases to police for investigation in the 2025 fiscal year, in addition to issuing the largest number of violation notices in its history.

The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) said in its 2024-25 annual report that it generated over 6,200 financial intelligence reports based on more than 2,700 unique disclosures, which it said supported law enforcement and national security investigations into money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, and threats to Canada’s security.

“This is by far the largest number of disclosures that FINTRAC has generated in a single year,” FINTRAC’s Director and CEO Sarah Paquet wrote in the report released on Oct. 30.

FINTRAC said a disclosure can pertain to an individual or a criminal network, and law enforcement can use disclosures to put together affidavits to obtain search warrants and production orders. Of the 2,730 unique disclosures FINTRAC generated, 2,316 were sent to the RCMP, 982 were sent to municipal police, 886 were sent to provincial police, 844 were sent to the Canada Border Services Agency, and 361 were sent to the Canada Revenue Agency.

The report said FINTRAC played a “key role” in the federal government’s fight against illegal fentanyl and illicit opioids, as the agency generated more than 100 disclosures of intelligence that could be acted upon.

The report said FINTRAC’s financial intelligence contributed to more than 200 “complex” investigations at the municipal, provincial and federal levels, and 96 percent of feedback from law enforcement and national security indicated that this intelligence was actionable. Continue…

Sask. Premier ‘Deeply Concerned’ About Upcoming New Indian Tariffs on Yellow Peas

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/sask-premier-deeply-concerned-about-upcoming-new-indian-tariffs-on-yellow-peas-5937323?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=sask.-premier-%E2%80%98deeply-concerned%E2%80%99-about-upcoming-new-indian-tariffs-on-yellow-peas-0

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says his province is troubled by the new tariffs that India plans to impose on Canadian yellow peas.

Moe said the province took “immediate action” by urging Ottawa to quickly work toward the removal of India’s planned 30 percent duty on yellow peas, noting that the impact will be exacerbated by the 100 percent duty China imposed on Canadian peas in March.

“Saskatchewan is deeply concerned to learn that India will be imposing a 30 percent duty on yellow pea imports,” Moe wrote in an Oct. 30 letter posted on X. “India is an incredibly important market for Saskatchewan, with $480 million of pea exports being shipped into India in 2024.”

The tariffs, announced Oct. 29, are set to go into effect on yellow pea imports into India on Nov. 1. India’s government says the tariffs are being imposed because yellow peas exports, including from Canada, are undercutting the domestic price of yellow peas in India and causing a decline in the production of chickpeas.

Moe’s letter, addressed to Minister of Agriculture Heath MacDonald and Minister of International Trade Maninder Sidhu, asks Ottawa to resolve the issue and restore “certainty” for Saskatchewan and Canada’s producers and exporters.

“Together, the Indian and Chinese markets comprise 71 per cent of our pea exports in 2024. As such, it also remains an urgent priority for Canada to resolve trade issues with China, including reopening that market to Canadian peas,” Moe wrote. “The trade uncertainty with the United States, tariffs imposed by China on agricultural products, and now duties imposed by India are devastating the agriculture industry.” Continue…

Drug Crimes Rose in 2024 After 12 Years of Trending Downward: Statistics Canada

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/drug-crimes-rose-in-2024-after-12-years-of-trending-downward-statistics-canada-5936902?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=drug-crimes-rose-in-2024-after-12-years-of-trending-downward:-statistics-canada-0

Police-reported drug crime has risen for the first time in 12 years, according to a new report by Statistics Canada.

The statistics agency said on Oct. 29 that drug crime rose in 2024 to 128 incidents per 100,000 people, but noted that this “remained well below its historic peak” of 330 incidents per 100,000 people in 2011. StatCan said this decline in drug crime happened because of the legalization of non-medical cannabis and “shifts in police practices.”

According to data from the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey, 2024 saw drug crime increase 13 percent from the prior year. There was an increase for most types of drug crime, including 2,272 more cannabis-related incidents, 1,462 more cocaine-related incidents, and 1,105 more non-heroin opioid offences.

Cocaine accounted for 27 percent of drug crimes reported in 2024, followed by cannabis (17 percent), methamphetamine (16 percent), non-heroine opioids like fentanyl and oxycodone (10 percent), and heroin (2 percent).

Drug crime includes the importation and exportation, possession, distribution, sale, and production of drugs.

The report found the Northwest Territories had the highest drug crime rate in 2024 at 2,591 incidents per 100,000 population, which was more than quadruple the next highest rate in Yukon at 555 incidents per 100,000, and more than ten times the rate in British Columbia at 251 per 100,000. The lowest rates were in Ontario (70), Nova Scotia (95) and Prince Edward Island (104). Continue…

Budget Will Crack Down on Trucking Industry Scheme That Aims to Undercut Competition: Finance Minister

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/budget-will-crack-down-on-trucking-industry-scheme-that-aims-to-undercut-competition-finance-minister-5937495?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=budget-will-crack-down-on-trucking-industry-scheme-that-aims-to-undercut-competition:-finance-minister-0

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne says the upcoming Nov. 4 budget will crack down on the “Driver Inc.” trucking industry scheme, which aims to undercut competition by avoiding tax obligations.

“Budget 2025 is cracking down on Driver Inc., closing loopholes, making our roads safer, and standing up for drivers and businesses that play by the rules,” Champagne said in an Oct. 30 statement.

Driver Inc. refers to a practice wherein operators hire workers as independent contractors instead of employees, allowing them to avoid payroll taxes, benefits, overtime, and workplace protections. Industry experts have warned that the rapid spread of such business practices let operators drive down wages and safety standards, threatening the trucking industry’s wages and road safety.

The upcoming federal budget is set to include $77 million in funding over four years, starting in 2026-27, for the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to lift the moratorium on penalties for companies in the trucking industry who fail to report fees for service transactions, the finance department said in an Oct. 30 news release. ;;Continue…''

REPORT: Kash Patel Ousts Special Agent in Charge Who Appeared in Arctic Frost Document Dump

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/10/report-kash-patel-ousts-special-agent-who-appeared/

FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly ousted one of the leading special agents who oversaw the Arctic Frost investigation into President Trump.

“Operation Arctic Frost” was a taxpayer-funded witch hunt launched in April 2022 that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to Trump and Pence while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.

The 2020 Trump alternate electors prompted the Biden DOJ to open the Arctic Frost investigation into Trump and hundreds of other individuals and organizations.

According to MSNBC, Patel is ousting Aaron Tapp, one of the lead agents on Arctic Frost.

Aaron Tapp is a Special Agent in Charge leading the San Antonio Field Office. Continue…

Top Trump Officials Are Moving Into Military Bases Over Assassination Fears

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/10/top-trump-officials-are-moving-military-bases-assassination/

Top Trump officials are moving into military bases near Washington DC over escalating assassination fears.

The move comes amid heightened security fears after the September assassination of Charlie Kirk.

In September TPUSA founder and top conservative Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah at a public event.

Rather than distancing themselves from this gruesome act of violence against a top MAGA mind, many on the left CHEERED and LAUGHED at this brutal murder.

The threats against Trump supporters from the radical left continue to this day. In fact, Democrats are running a candidate in Virginia for Attorney General who fantasized about the murder of Republican children is running for office in Virginia.

Democrats refused to condemn this deadly threat against children! The party was silent.

Democrats refuse to tamp down on the death threats.

In response to the growing threats of violence, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and others also now live in military housing in the DC area.

There’s more…

The New York Times reported:

Daniel P. Driscoll, the Army secretary, has also moved into military housing, as has the Navy secretary, John Phelan, whose home in Washington was damaged in a fire in May, according to a congressional staff member who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Russia Successfully Tests Unmanned Underwater Vehicle 2M39 Poseidon – Capable of Triggering Radioactive Tsunamis

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/10/russia-successfully-tests-unmanned-underwater-vehicle-2m39-poseidon/

On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed a successful test of the ‘2M39 Poseidon’ days after a trial of the new Burevestnik cruise missile, which was followed by nuclear launch drills.

Putin described the Poseidon as a nuclear-powered super-torpedo designed to create radioactive tsunamis and wipe out coastal cities.

President Putin says Russia successfully tested its nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed unmanned underwater vehicle, the 2M39 Poseidon.

According to the Telegraph, The Poseidon has its roots in Soviet plans for a weapon that would be able to render coastal cities on the shores of the United States uninhabitable.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev says its new ‘Poseidon’ nuclear torpedo capable of triggering radioactive tsunamis “can be considered a true doomsday weapon.”

Lavrov says “everyone’s gone quiet” following the successful test of the Poseidon missile.

German 'Anti-Greta' Activist Seeks Asylum In The US After Antifa Death Threats

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/german-activist-seeks-asylum-us-after-antifa-death-threats

Today, I met with and reviewed documentation regarding Naomi Seibt’s asylum case. It is clear that, due to her support for President Trump and her refusal to conform to leftist ideology, she has been targeted and could face imprisonment/physical danger if she returns to Germany—simply for rejecting the groupthink that is currently dominating the country and destroying its economy.

I will be personally assisting with her case and writing to the Secretary of State regarding what she is facing as well as the german government’s prosecution of its own citizens for fighting western ideology and their culture. What is even more alarming is that she was targeted by German intelligence and government officials for advocating on behalf of the German people and supporting the AfD. Continue…

Jamaica's Catastrophe Bond Poised For Big Payout Within Weeks After Hurricane Melissa's Insane Strength

https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/jamaicas-catastrophe-bond-poised-big-payout-within-weeks-after-hurricane-melissas-insane

Hurricane Melissa was the most powerful storm to make landfall in Jamaica in over 170 years, ripping through the Caribbean island's western region with 185 mph winds and leaving widespread destruction to infrastructure, towns, resorts, and farmland. The storm's central pressure is likely to have fallen below the threshold that would trigger a $150 million catastrophe bond designed to offset weather-related losses through the capital markets.

According to CNBC, the government of Jamaica's $150 million cat bond was structured by insurance broker Aon using the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development's "capital at risk" program and could be triggered as soon as next month.

For the island nation's government to receive funds, the storm's central pressure must be less than 900 millibars upon landfall. Early indications from the National Hurricane Center show the Category 5 hurricane with 185 mph winds met that threshold in several regions in the western part of the island.

Poland, Slovakia, Hungary Defy EU By Keeping Bans On Ukraine Imports

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/poland-slovakia-hungary-defy-eu-keeping-bans-ukraine-imports

A new European Union deal to liberalize trade with Ukraine took effect Wednesday, but Poland, Hungary and Slovakia are defying it, maintaining their protectionist bans on imports from the country. Their defiance comes amid mounting grievances over EU prioritization of the West's proxy war on Russia over the prosperity of EU member states and their citizens.

Approved on Oct 13, the new EU arrangement expands tariff-free Ukrainian access to European markets, replacing a temporary lowering of trade barriers adopted after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. “We believe (the agreement) is a stable, fair framework, that can be reliable both for the EU and for Ukraine, to ensure a gradual integration in our single market, while providing stable trade flows," said European Commission spokeswoman Ariana Podesta. The European Commission (EC) is the EU's principal executive branch.

Rebelling against the Brussels regime, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia say they will maintain the bans on agricultural imports from Ukraine they put in place in 2023. The three countries' bans were a reaction to a wartime glut of Ukrainian products, which resulted from Black Sea ports being disrupted by the war with Russia. The glut sank prices and hammered domestic producers. Continue…

'Military Psychosis': Kremlin Responds To Belgian Minister's "Wipe Moscow Off The Map" Rhetoric

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/military-psychosis-kremlin-responds-belgian-ministers-wipe-moscow-map-rhetoric

Earlier this week Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken issued some stark - and some might say, irresponsible - words directed at Moscow, warning that any missile strike on Brussels would trigger an overwhelming NATO response.

"If Putin launches a missile at Brussels, we will wipe Moscow off the map," Francken told the De Morgen daily on Monday. It's unclear what precisely prompted such an aggressive warning, coming after Russia's own 'red line' type rhetoric seeking to dissuade Washington from arming Kiev with long-range Tomahawk missiles.

Franckena further said that any conventional attack on Brussels would also result in Moscow getting "flattened."

Again, the words were ultra-provocative given it is only one country currently seeing its territory regularly attacked with the help of NATO, and that's Russia. Continue…

Orban Hints At Ukrainian Sabotage Behind Hungary Refinery Fire

https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/orban-hints-ukrainian-sabotage-behind-hungary-refinery-fire

A lot of questions and suspicions were immediately raised when on October 21 explosions and fires occurred at large oil refineries in Hungary and Romania. Eyebrows were raised given that both sites have links to Russia.

The Petrotel-Lukoil refinery in Ploiesti (owned by Russian company Lukoil) in southern Romania was damaged, while in Hungary a 'mystery' fire also occurred at the country's largest oil refinery (the MOL-operated Danube Refinery), located in the city of Szazhalombatta - some 17 miles from Budapest - which receives crude oil from Russia.

Despite long efforts of the European Union to phase out Russian energy, a tiny number of states still receive supplies. This is why many have suspected sabotage, possibly linked to Ukrainian intelligence, was behind the twin refinery fires, which had occurred within less than 24 hours apart.

But now, over a week later, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has revealed in a social media statement that authorities haven't ruled out the possibility of an external attack in investigating the fire at Százhalombatta.

"The investigation is in full swing. We still do not know whether it was an accident, malfunction or outside attack," Orbán said. Continue…

Shocking Stats: Syrians Commit Crimes Every 39 Mins In Germany For Past Ten Years

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/shocking-stats-syrians-commit-crimes-every-39-mins-germany-past-ten-years

The German government has disclosed that a total of 135,668 crimes have been committed by Syrian suspects between 2015 and 2024, amounting to one every 39 minutes over the past 10 years.

The figures, released by the Federal Ministry of the Interior in response to a parliamentary inquiry from the AfD, have reignited the party’s demands for tougher migration controls and deportations.

The data, obtained by Freilich magazine, also shows large numbers of victims of crimes committed by suspects from other countries of origin, including 82,960 linked to Afghanistan, 69,946 to Iraq, 39,918 to Morocco, and 32,383 to Algeria. Altogether, more than 460,000 crimes were recorded in the 10-year period involving suspects from the 10 main countries of origin: Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Morocco, Algeria, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, and Eritrea.

In respect to Afghan suspects, that’s one crime every 63 minutes; for Iraqis, one every 75 minutes; for Moroccans, one every 132 minutes; and for Algerians, one every 162 minutes. Continue…

France: An Islam-Friendly Mayor's Attempt To Squash A Catholic Film Backfires Badly

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/france-islam-friendly-mayors-attempt-squash-catholic-film-backfires-badly

An attempt to ban a movie seen as in breach of France’s long-cherished separation of Church and State has turned the film into a box-office success.

“Sacre-Coeur: Son regne n’aura pas de fin” (“Sacred Heart: His reign will have no end”) tells the story of the Sacred Heart devotion through the centuries, up until modern times. A devotion in Catholicism entails prayer, receiving communion, and making acts of reparation for sins. The Sacred Heart devotion revolves around such practices in the name of the heart of Jesus Christ, which serves as a symbol of his divine love, mercy, and compassion for humanity.

At first, the mayor of Marseille, Benoît Payan (Socialist Party), sought to ban any promotion of the film in spaces managed by the SNCF (French National Railway Company) and the RATP (Parisian public transport operator).

He then banned a screening of the film in a local municipal cinema — all in the name of secularism.

The issue was that Payan has always seemed far more open to anything related to Islam. In fact, the mayor has set aside land for the building of mosques, made sure Muslim celebrations have adequate venues, and even visited high schools with Muslim Brotherhood ties, reports France Catholique, citing a report out of Frontières magazine on “mayors complicit with Islamism.” Continue…

Massive Ultra-Orthodox Rally In Israel Protests Arrest Of Draft Dodgers

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/massive-ultra-orthodox-rally-israel-protests-arrest-draft-dodgers

Hundreds of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Israelis, known as the Haredim, gathered in Jerusalem on Thursday for a mass rally against the arrests of yeshiva students accused of evading military service.

The rally is described by Israeli media as a ‘rare show of unity’ between the divided Haredi factions, who are often in opposition regarding politics and state relations. The demonstration, named "Cry of the Torah," was endorsed by nearly all ultra-Orthodox leaders, who instructed followers to attend and maintain order.

Only the Jerusalem Faction, led by Rabbi Azriel Auerbach, refused to participate, accusing organizers of failing to demand the full reinstatement of the long-standing Torato Omanuto exemption system that allows Torah students to defer military service. Continue…

Did The CIA Discover How To Manifest Your Best Life?

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/did-cia-discover-how-manifest-your-best-life

It’s 1983. Shoulder pads are high, hair is higher, and somewhere deep within the corridors of the CIA, a few serious-looking men in polyester suits are asking themselves: what if we could leave our bodies on purpose and go spying through the astral plane? Thus was born the Gateway Process, a top-secret attempt to weaponise meditation.

The 29-page report, “Analysis and Assessment of the Gateway Process,” is a combination of science, séance, and Cold War madness. It reads like Stephen Hawking fell asleep on a yoga mat and woke up in a pyramid scheme.

Courtesy of TikTok, the Gateway Process is back, because nothing says global awakening like Gen Z explaining quantum physics between mascara tutorials.

What is the Gateway Process?

In essence, it’s the CIA’s attempt to figure out whether humans can think their way out of space and time. Yes, really. Think mind flight.

The Gateway Process was inspired by Robert Monroe, a former radio executive who discovered that specific sound frequencies could sync the brain’s left and right hemispheres—a state he called hemi-sync.

The idea was that when both halves of your brain were in harmony, your consciousness could detach from your body and go exploring. Continue…

How Dare You: U.N. Warns U.S. Attacks on Cartel Drug Boats ‘Unacceptable’

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/10/31/how-dare-you-u-n-warns-u-s-attacks-on-cartel-drug-boats-unacceptable/

U.S. military strikes against cartel drug boats in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean journeying from South America are “unacceptable” and must stop, the U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk warned Friday.

Türk, an Austrian-born career U.N. bureaucrat, called for an immediate investigation into the strikes against narco terrorists in what is the first such condemnation of its kind from the globalist organization.

AP reports Ravina Shamdasani, a spokeswoman for Türk’s office, relayed his message on Friday at a regular U.N. briefing:

These attacks and their mounting human cost are unacceptable. The U.S. must halt such attacks and take all measures necessary to prevent the extrajudicial killing of people aboard these boats.

She said Türk believed “airstrikes by the United States of America on boats in the Caribbean and in the Pacific violate international human rights law.”

President Donald Trump has justified the attacks on the boats as a necessary escalation to stem the flow of illicit drugs by criminal cartels into the United States. Continue…

Supreme Court rules against mandatory minimum sentences for child sex crimes

https://www.rebelnews.com/supreme_court_rules_against_mandatory_minimum_sentences_for_child_sex_crimes

The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, struck down mandatory minimum sentences for two child pornography offenses as unconstitutional.

Canada's top court narrowly struck down the one-year mandatory minimum sentence for child pornography possession and access, citing its potential impact on an 18-year-old sexting case.

The nine-judge panel heard the case of two Quebec men challenging sentencing rules. They earlier plead guilty, arguing mandatory minimum sentences violated their Charter right against cruel and unusual punishment.

The Crown appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that child pornography access and possession must be strongly condemned. It stated that sentences should reflect the severity of these offences and the harm caused to victims, families, and society.

The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, struck down mandatory minimum sentences for two child pornography offenses as unconstitutional, upholding the Quebec Court of Appeal's decision, as first reported by the National Post.

Justice Mary Moreau, writing for the majority, detailed the court's decision by assessing the constitutionality of minimum sentences through “reasonably foreseeable” hypothetical scenarios. Continue…

Taxpayer watchdog slams Liberals for spending millions on promotional merchandise

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/taxpayer-watchdog-slams-liberals-for-spending-millions-on-promotional-merchandise/

The Canadian Taxpayer Federation found that the government spent $13 million on promotional items such as 'climate change card games,' 'laser pens and flying saucers' since 2022.

Canada’s premier taxpayer watchdog group blasted the Liberal federal government of Prime Minister Mark Carney for spending $13 million on promotional merchandise such as “climate change card games,” “laser pens and flying saucers,” and “Bamboo toothbrushes” since 2022.

In a press release sent to LifeSiteNews, Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) federal director Franco Terrazzano spared no words in calling out the Carney Liberals for wasting taxpayer money while many Canadians struggle to feed their families.

“It’s like the government had a contest to see which department could come up with the dumbest way to spend taxpayers’ money, and they all won,” Terrazzano said.

“This is what happens when you have too many bureaucrats with too many tax dollars.” Continue…

Quebec Government Bans Students From Covering Their Faces as Part of Secularism Law Expansion

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/quebec-government-bans-students-from-covering-their-faces-as-part-of-secularism-law-expansion-5937602?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=quebec-government-bans-students-from-covering-their-faces-as-part-of-secularism-law-expansion-0

Quebec has expanded its secularism law to now prohibit any school worker from wearing religious symbols and to forbid students from covering their faces.

The province first introduced its secularism law in 2019, banning public employees in positions of authority—such as teachers, judges, and police officers—from wearing religious symbols.

The government has now extended that ban to include all school staff, such as psychologists, janitors, and cafeteria workers. The ban now also applies to those who are not employees of the school but may work with students, such as library volunteers. The government is also forbidding students from wearing face coverings as part of its secularism requirements.

Quebec’s government also said this month that it will ban the wearing of religious symbols in daycares. Secularism Minister Jean-François Roberge said the ban would apply to all staff working in early childhood centres and subsidized daycare facilities.

Roberge said that Quebecers want the government to “strengthen secularism,” saying it was part of the provincial identity and there would be “no compromise on our values.”

Premier François Legault previously said in a Sept. 30 speech at the National Assembly that the province was under threat from “radical Islamists.” He said they were trying to impose their values on Quebecers, adding that his government would do everything it could to counter “attacks against our common values.” Continue…

Russia is stoking a 'humanitarian crisis' with attacks on Ukrainian natural gas infrastructure, G7 ministers told

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/russia-is-stoking-a-humanitarian-crisis-with-attacks-on-ukrainian-natural-gas-infrastructure-g7-ministers-told

Moscow has consistently attacked civilian energy infrastructure since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years ago

Russian attacks on Ukraine’s natural-gas system are a deliberate bid to create a “humanitarian crisis,” Ukraine’s energy minister charged Friday as Canada pledged speeded-up support for the nation’s battered heating and lighting grid.

Moscow has consistently attacked civilian energy infrastructure since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years ago, noted Svitlana Grynchuk, the energy minister. But earlier this year it started hitting natural-gas production and other parts of the gas system, crucial to civilian homes.

“It’s not about military targets,” Grynchuk said at a news conference with Canadian cabinet ministers during a G7 ministerial conference in Toronto. “They attack directly the civilian infrastructure and they know very well what they want. They want to put Ukraine in the dark, they want to freeze Ukrainians and they want to create a humanitarian crisis.”

Global Affairs Minister Anita Anand said Ottawa would accelerate payment of the final $10 million of $70-million in aid the federal government earlier promised to shore up the Ukrainian natural-gas system. About $50 million already handed over is paying for new gas compressors in Kharkiv, the major eastern Ukrainian city that is close to the war’s front lines. Compressors help to maintain pressure in gas pipelines and speed its flow. Continue…

Trump says Carney 'apologized' for Ontario's anti-tariff ad during Asia trip

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/trump-says-carney-apologized-for-ontarios-anti-tariff-ad-during-asia-trip?tbref=hp

I like (Carney) a lot but what they did was wrong,' said Trump of Ontario’s commercial

U.S. President Donald Trump said that Prime Minister Mark Carney has “apologized” for the Ontario government’s anti-tariff television ad featuring Ronald Reagan that reportedly derailed trade talks between both countries.

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Friday as he was heading back to the U.S., Trump was asked if he was going to resume negotiations with Canada and said “no.” The president however sung Carney’s praises, saying that they have a “very good relationship.”

“I like him a lot but what they did was wrong,” said Trump of Ontario’s commercial.

“(Carney) was very nice and he apologized for what they did with the commercial because it was a false commercial. It was the exact opposite: Ronald Reagan loved tariffs, and they tried to make it look the other way. And he did apologize and I appreciate it,” he said. Continue…
