Vienna Teachers Warn Of Rising Radical Attitudes Among New Immigrant Students

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/vienna-teachers-warn-rising-radical-attitudes-among-new-immigrant-students

 

Viennese teachers are reporting growing challenges with students from immigrant backgrounds who are increasingly unwilling to learn German or adapt to local values, according to teachers’ union representative Thomas Krebs of the Christian Trade Unionists Group (FCG).

 

Speaking to Heute, Krebs said many of those arriving from conflict or crisis regions now bring radical beliefs that pose problems in Austrian classrooms.

 

“In the past, people fled from extremism. Now, many people come to us radicalized by extremism and spread these ideas here as well,” said Krebs.

 

He cited incidents of female teachers being disrespected or assaulted by male students and parents, saying such behavior reflects imported attitudes that reject gender equality.

 

“This disrespect ranges from refusing to shake hands to insults and physical assaults,” he added.

 

Krebs said the problem also affects staff relations, with reports of some male teachers refusing to shake hands with female colleagues for similar reasons. He warned that children from Western or secular families are sometimes treated as inferior by classmates, while those from conservative backgrounds who wish to integrate face pressure to conform.

 

“Students from Western cultural backgrounds are not seen as equals,” Krebs said, adding that liberal democratic values are often dismissed in favor of religious rules.

 

According to the union, teachers frequently encounter resistance to Austria’s educational standards. Continue…

Chinese-Owned Trailer Park Near US Stealth Bomber Base Linked To Suspicious Vancouver Activity

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/chinese-owned-trailer-park-lines-us-stealth-bomber-base-linked-suspicious-vancouver

 

A sprawling U.S. investigative report has placed a Richmond, B.C., couple already identified in a high-profile Chinese-diaspora repression case at the center of an even more explosive national-security controversy south of the border: they are linked to a web of shell companies that own a trailer park beside Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri — home to the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and launch point for the June 2025 strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.

 

The same couple are named in B.C. court filings and appear in video evidence from a saga outside Vancouver journalist Bingchen Gao's home, where activists aligned with Miles Guo — a New York–based tycoon with reported Chinese intelligence ties — staged repeated demonstrations in a siege-like campaign.

 

Taken together, the property records unearthed by the Daily Caller News Foundation, along with court and corporate documents reviewed by The Bureau to verify the American reporting, outline a cross-border pattern of potential Chinese state activity, echoing past cases of high-profile actors using Vancouver as a base for operations into the United States.

 

Raising the stakes, The Bureau has also identified a former Vancouver business entity tied to the couple, involved in hard-rock lithium exploration in Canada's Northwest Territories — an alarming detail suggesting their network could intersect with China's drive for critical minerals supply chains in North America.

 

The real estate thread south of the border is clear. Missouri business and environmental filings assembled by investigative reporter Philip Lenczycki show the Knob Noster Trailer Park is registered to Property Solutions 3603 LP, with a state operating permit locating the property directly north of Whiteman — roughly a mile from the runway. Companion filings in Utah and Georgia connect similarly named entities to the Richmond residents, Esther Mei and Cheng Hu. The couple, who share a Richmond home according to court documents, did not respond to repeated requests for comment, Lenczycki reported. Continue…

iIndigenous People Gone Wild: Protesters Storm Globalist COP30 Climate Summit In Brazil

 

http://zerohedge.com/political/indigenous-people-gone-wild-protesters-storm-globalist-cop30-climate-summit-brazil

 

TeleSURtv reporter André Vieira captured video showing dozens of what he described as "indigenous people" breaking through barriers and storming the UN's annual global climate summit in Belém, Brazil. The summit brings together globalist world leaders, left-wing climate activists, and "trust-the-science" researchers to discuss climate pledges that they aim to transform into enforceable actions.

 

"Indigenous people occupied the #COP30 on the night of this Tuesday to demand that negotiators place them at the center of the debates," Vieira wrote on X, adding, "Nearly 3,000 indigenous people are in Belém to participate in the activities over the coming days."

 

Vieira's X post also featured a video of indigenous people storming COP30, the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Continue…

China Unveils Its GJ-11 Drone: A Strategic Warning to the Free World

 

https://gatewayhispanic.com/video/china-unveils-its-gj-11-drone-strategic-warning/

 

The Chinese government has released a high-production official video showing its advanced stealth flying-wing drone, the GJ-11 “Sharp Sword,” also known as Xuanlong . Although the clip avoids providing concrete technical details, it sends a clear message of power projection and strategic ambition.

 

According to defense analysts, the GJ-11 has moved from testing to operational deployment. Satellite imagery confirms that the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) has stationed the platform at bases near conflict-prone regions — a signal that China aims to gain military advantage through emerging technologies ahead of its Indo-Pacific rivals.

 

The release of the video coincides with a series of troubling developments. China not only unveiled the aircraft but also presented it in a promotional piece that hints at deeper ambitions — stealth strike capability, autonomous missions, and integration into mixed aerial fleets (manned and unmanned). Analysts describe this as part of Beijing's transition toward what it calls “intelligentized warfare,” driven by drones, artificial intelligence, and interconnected command systems. Continue…

South Korean Far-Left Leader Announces Criticism of China or Its Ruling Communist Party Will Be Treated as a Criminal Offense

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/south-korean-far-left-leader-announces-criticism-china/

 

According to a report by Munhwa Ilbo (Nov 11 2025), South Korean President Lee Jae-myung’s administration has announced a series of measures aimed at “eliminating hate speech and misinformation.”

These include a proposed Hate-Speech Prevention Law, mandatory removal of “hateful content” from social media platforms such as YouTube, and even the automatic dismissal of public officials who express so-called “hate speech.”

While no country was explicitly mentioned, many observers note that these moves are clearly intended to target the growing anti-China sentiment among Korean citizens.

The ruling party is also pushing a “Ban on Anti-China Protests” bill, criminalizing criticism or mockery of a foreign nation or its citizens, with penalties of up to five years in prison or ₩10 million in fines. Continue…

UK Balks At EU Demand Of Nearly $8BN To Join European Joint Defense Fund

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/uk-balks-eu-demand-nearly-8bn-join-european-joint-defense-fund

 

Early this week the UK government rejected a request from the European Commission for up to €6.75 billion ($7.8 billion) to join the EU’s flagship defense program, which marks a significant setback for post-Brexit relations under Prime Minister Keir Starmer and seen as another blow to European unity in efforts to counter Russia.

 

The European Commission reportedly proposed that the UK contribute between €4 billion and €6.5 billion to take part in the Security Action for Europe (SAFE) initiative, and pay in an additional €150 million to €250 million in administrative fees.

 

"We will only agree to deals that deliver value for the UK and its industry," the UK government said in a statement of ongoing, secretive discussions. "Nothing has been finalized, and we will not provide a running commentary on ongoing discussions."

 

British defense companies could gain access to the €150 billion SAFE program if an agreement is reached, which is seen as a vital part of the EU strengthening collective defense readiness. A few select non-EU countries including the UK and Canada, and even Turkey, are invited to participate. Continue…

A second acknowledgment sought to honour those who came both by choice and “involuntarily, particularly as the result of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and slavery.”

 

As Toronto's Cenotaph stood solemn on Remembrance Day, the city's official ceremony began with all the obligatory trappings of modern Canadian virtue-signalling.

 

Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington captured the moment on video; amid wreaths and poppies, a cadet flight sergeant was “invited to share the ancestral acknowledgment” with the crowd. Continue…

Man shouts in apparent condemnation of land acknowledgement during Remembrance Day ceremony

 

https://www.rebelnews.com/man_shouts_in_apparent_condemnation_of_land_acknowledgement_during_remembrance_day_ceremony

 

…Video shows a man shouting out following the 'ancestral acknowledgement', with several police officers being seen following the man as he walked away from the crowd at the ceremony.

 

Sa'd discussed why land acknowledgements are increasingly becoming empty platitudes that can spark controversey.

 

"I think what's happened with land acknowledgements is that they've become rote and pretty much boilerplate. And they start off everything from school board meetings, police meetings, and obviously this Remembrance Day ceremony," she said.

 

"And I think that diminishes the effect that would otherwise be intended," Sa'd continued. The independent journalist also discussed an online poll she conducted on her X account asking for people's opinions about the Remembrance Day land acknowledgement.

 

"The general consensus seems to be that this is a distraction and they would prefer to see less of these performative types of actions and a return to a focus on the core of what this day has always been about," she said.

 

It is currently unclear exactly what the man was opposing when he shouted out, but Ezra suspects the individual was condemning the land and ancestral acknowledgements.

Quebec has the highest euthanasia rate in the world at 7.4% of total deaths

 

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/quebec-has-the-highest-euthanasia-rate-in-the-world-at-7-4-of-total-deaths/

 

Quebec's 2024–2025 report reveals MAiD accounts for 7.4% of all provincial deaths, driven by feelings of being a burden and loneliness.

 

The province of Quebec has the highest euthanasia rate in the world.

 

On October 30, the Quebec 2024–2025 Report of the Commission on End-of-Life Care revealed that deaths by Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) have reached 7.4 percent of the total provincial deaths and have increased 9% since last year.

 

“The Commission notes that MAiD is in increasing demand and occupies an important place in the public sphere in Quebec,” the report asserts.

 

“The Commission rigorously and vigilantly fulfills its mandate to ensure that MAiD requirements are properly applied in Quebec and that MAiD is not chosen as a treatment option when other [sic] curative, palliative, or end-of-life care options are unavailable,” it continued.

 

Despite its promise, the commission reported that 50 percent of the MAiD requests were from those who felt they were a burden to family, friends, or caregivers. Twenty-four percent of those killed cited loneliness and isolation as reasons to end their lives.

 

Additionally, the report found an alarmingly short period of time between MAiD requests and doctors administering the lethal drugs. According to the report, 4 percent of requests for MAiD were fulfilled on the same or next day. Continue…

More Than 300,000 Without Power After First Snowstorm Hits Quebec

Hundreds of thousands of Quebecers were without power on Nov. 11 after the first snowstorm of the season hit over the weekend.

 

About 316,000 homes and businesses across Quebec were without electricity around noon after the storm, which created hazardous conditions across the province.

 

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) said a low pressure system in the region that began Sunday brought a mix of freezing rain and snow to the southern part of the province. It knocked down trees, created slippery road conditions, and caused schools closures.

 

Hydro-Québec, the government-owned electrical utility, said the weight of wet leaves and snow caused branches to break and land on power lines. Continue…

Health Canada Recalls ‘Laughing Gas’ Products It Says Lack Authorization

Health Canada has issued a recall for “laughing gas” that it says is being sold without authorization and presents a serious safety risk.

 

Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is legal in Canada when it is administered by a health care professional, such as for dental surgery or medical procedures for sedation or pain relief. The gas is also found in cream dispensers and some food tools but is not mean to be inhaled, Health Canada said.

 

The products being recalled, nitrous oxide chargers, have been sold for inhalation without being authorized, according to Health Canada.

 

The agency has warned Canadians not to inhale nitrous oxide products for recreational purposes, and advised those who have done so and experienced side effects to seek medical attention immediately.

 

The brands selling the impacted products include Bamboozle, Best Whip, Gold Whip, GreatWhip, Prime Whip, and Whip-It! Some of the items have flavours like lemon mint ice, strawberry, and pineapple, among others, while other products are unflavoured.

 

The recall follows a warning issued by Health Canada in June about similar products. Continue…

BC Government Reaches Out to Richmond Residents Potentially Affected by Cowichan Land Title Ruling

The provincial government is contacting landowners in Richmond, B.C., whose properties may be impacted by the recent decision that awarded aboriginal title to Cowichan Nation for approximately 750 acres of land.

 

BC Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough Steve Kooner shared a flyer Nov. 9 on social media that he said is being circulated by the B.C. premier’s office to local residents to provide contact information for anyone with concerns about their property or mortgages in the wake of the Cowichan ruling.

 

The letter posted by Kooner is from a “community contact” with the B.C. premier’s office identified as Kristine, who says she will be available throughout November to answer any questions or concerns about the Cowichan ruling.

 

“My role is to work directly with Richmond residents and small businesses potentially affected by the recent Cowichan land title decision,” the flyer reads, adding that support is available to “listen to your experiences—including any impacts on mortgages refinancing, property sales, or permits.”

 

The flyer adds that it will keep residents updated “as the province moves forward on next steps” and connect landowners with the right contacts within the provincial government to address their specific situations.

 

The B.C. premier’s office did not respond to a request for comment or to validate the authenticity of the flyer by time of publication. Kooner was also not available for comment as of publication time. Continue…

Finance Minister Says Refining Critical Minerals Is ‘Key’ to Becoming a Competitive Supplier

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne says his goal is to make Canada “the NATO partner of choice,” noting that refining critical minerals is “the name of the game” for becoming a competitive supplier.

 

“Exploration, extraction is something, but what we need is refining. That’s the key,” Champagne told a business audience in Calgary on Nov. 10, while answering questions about the Liberal government’s recently tabled budget. “Refining is the name of the game.”

 

The minister noted that refining critical minerals is essential for defence, and said Canada has refineries for minerals like titanium, which is needed to build submarines and other defence systems.

 

Champagne said that while there are other countries that can provide critical minerals, Canada can offer more with “proximity to resources, market, and refinery.”

 

“My goal is … if Canada could become the NATO partner of choice,” the minister said, adding that critical minerals are becoming a “decisive” product for the “competitiveness” of countries.

 

Champagne told the business audience that “mentalities are evolving” when it comes to developing oil and gas resources and ensuring they can get to market. He said Prime Minister Mark Carney has “changed the tone” by describing Canada as an “energy superpower in both clean and conventional energy,” which he said has changed how people perceive these things.

Canada Slaps New Sanctions on Russia, Targeting Its Drone Program

 

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/canada-slaps-new-sanctions-on-russia-targeting-its-drone-program-5943674?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-0

 

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand announced Canada has imposed more sanctions on Russia while attending a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in Ontario’s Niagara region.

 

“We firmly believe that continued collective pressure on Russia is necessary… So today, we are announcing a new package of sanctions to further increase the economic costs to Russia of waging war,” Anand said at a press conference in Niagara-on-the-Lake on Nov. 12.

 

The sanctions, which came into force on Nov. 6, target 13 individuals and 11 entities, including several that are involved in the development and deployment of Russia’s drone program in its war against Ukraine, according to a release from Global Affairs Canada.

 

The sanctions also target entities supplying the cyber infrastructure Russia has used in cyberattacks against Ukraine, and a Kyrgyzstan-owned financial institution that has been enabling Russia to evade sanctions.

 

Also included in the sanctions are several Russian liquefied natural gas entities that provide energy revenues allowing Moscow to fund its war against Ukraine, the statement says, as well as 100 vessels from Russia’s “shadow fleet” used to transport oil while evading Western sanctions.

 

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said during the press conference alongside Anand that the G7 meeting was “important for our peace efforts.” He said Ukraine wants to see an end to the war, and the leaders will be discussing “practical steps to bring it to a close.” Continue…
