On Sunday, March 6, 2022, Russian news agency Ria Novosti released documents they claim show Ukraine was working on “biological weapons” near the Russian border. Ria Novosti accused the US of instructing Ukraine to destroy the biological agents before the Russian invasion.

The Ministry of Health in Ukraine ordered the biological agents be destroyed in a February 24 memo.

Russia also released a list of the biological agents allegedly be stored in the lab for testing. The list included Salmonella and E. Coli.

Update: Upon further review Anthrax and The Plague were not listed in the documents as Russia claimed. However, a US-funded labatory in Odessa, Ukraine was testing Anthrax and The Plague according to Tucker Carlson Tonight.

Hat Tip to CannCon for originally reported on the US-funded labs back on March 1.

And now we know who was funding the Ukrainian Biolabs. It was the US Department of Defense. A document from the US Embassy that was scrubbed from the internet was found in the Wayback Machine.

The document reveals the US Department of Defense was donating to the Ukrainian diagnostic biolabs. Continue…

Missing German Model’s Name Surfaces in Epstein Files 11 Years After Disappearance, Family Fears She Was Killed by Sex Traffickers

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/missing-german-models-name-surfaces-epstein-files-11/

The name of a young German model who vanished without a trace in 2015 has appeared in the Jeffrey Epstein files, raising fresh and disturbing questions about whether she was targeted by the convicted sex offender’s network.

The woman, identified only as “Michele” at her family’s request, was 22 years old when she left her mother’s home in Germany in early September 2015 with a suitcase.

She has not been heard from since.

Michele’s name emerged in emails contained in the Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

The emails involve Daniel Siad, a Swedish-French modeling scout who appears extensively in the documents, more than 1,000 times in some batches.

According to a report from Speigel International, her family only recently learned that her name appears multiple times in U.S. Department of Justice documents connected to Epstein.

In 2014, one year before Michele disappeared, Siad sent Epstein photos of the young German woman.

In one message, he referred to her as “the girl you missed from Germany” and wrote, “You will love her.”

According to reporting by Der Spiegel, Michele had met Siad in Dubai in 2012. She allegedly worked for him as an escort. Siad positioned himself in communications with Epstein as someone who recruited or “caught” young women across Europe for the financier.

Michele had dreams of becoming a famous model and frequently traveled internationally. Continue…

WATCH LIVE: UFC Freedom 250 Holds Pre-Fight Press Conference at the Lincoln Memorial

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/watch-live-ufc-freedom-250-holds/

Fighters in the White House UFC bout on Sunday will gather tonight at the Lincoln Memorial to deliver a press conference ahead of the highly anticipated first-ever fight at the White House.

The fighters will participate in a weigh-in ceremony tomorrow night on the White House Ellipse.

The event, dubbed “UFC Freedom 250,” is scheduled to continue as planned on Sunday despite the left’s attempt to sue the Trump Administration in opposition.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, an Obama-appointed federal judge denied the lawsuit arguing that Trump broke the law by building the 92-foot-tall 600-ton “Claw” fight venue on the White House lawn and is using the fight to enrich himself.

The White House gave reporters access to The Claw on Thursday for a first look ahead of the fight. The massive structure holds an octagon in the center with hundreds of seats and TV screens surrounding it. A giant plaque reads "UFC FREEDOM 250" on the North side, just feet from the White House doors. Continue…

WATCH: Department of War Unveils Epic “Peace Through Strength” Ad That will Debut During Historic Freedom 250 UFC Fight

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/watch-department-war-debut-peace-through-strength-ad/

The Department of War on Friday released a new “Peace Through Strength” ad which will debut during the historic Freedom 250 UFC fight this weekend.

UFC Freedom 250 will be hosted on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14, 2026 to celebrate 250 years of the US.

“Be Part of History UFC Freedom 250 celebrates the 250th birthday of the United States with a once-in-a-generation tribute to the American fighting spirit,” the UFC said in a press release.

“The warrior ethos is back,” Trump said, boasting about the new advertisement.

The Pentagon met its recruitment goals for 2026 several months ahead of its September deadline.

There have been record-breaking enlistments across different branches of the US Military since President Trump took office in 2025 and appointed Pete Hegseth as the Secretary of War.

“This Sunday Night, during the historic Freedom 250 UFC Fight at the White House, The Department of War will debut their first TV Ad, entitled “Peace Through Strength,” Trump said.

“WATCH IT BELOW. The Warrior Ethos is BACK at the War Department, and we call on our greatest young Americans to join our Great Fighting (when necessary!) Machine. President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump said on Truth Social. Continue…

After Canadian politicians spent days slamming the United States for denying entry to a Somali FIFA referee with alleged ties to terrorist organizations, and then rolled out the red carpet, inviting him to Canada instead, THEY JUST DENIED A GHANA WORLD CUP PLAYER ENTRY over serious rape and sexual assault charges.

The stunning hypocrisy is on full display. Continue…

SOCIALIST GRIFT: Spanish Court Opens ANOTHER Probe of Former Prime Minister Zapatero After Jewelry Was Found During Search of His House

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/socialist-grift-spanish-court-opens-another-probe-former/

While leftist Pope Leo XIV spent time in Spain, advocating for illegal migrants and treating disgraced Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez like a ‘pop star’, the Spanish Justice continues to demolish the ruling Socialist party with multiple corruption investigations and prosecutions.

Today (12), it arose that a Spanish High Court judge, part of the investigation of former Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero for suspected corruption, has ​opened a separate probe over expensive jewelry found during ‌a search of the politician’s office. Continue…

Michigan Coin Dealer Foils $700,000 Social Security ‘Terrorism’ Scam – Widow Targeted, Courier Gets Chocolate Coins Instead, Lands in Jail with ICE Detainer

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/michigan-coin-dealer-foils-700000-social-security-terrorism/

An alert Michigan coin shop owner just saved a 79-year-old widow from losing her entire life savings in a cruel overseas scam that falsely claimed her Social Security benefits were funding terrorism.

The scheme unfolded in early May when fraudsters – believed to be operating out of India – contacted the Ottawa County widow.

They convinced her that her Social Security number had been linked to terrorism, drug activity, and money laundering. The scammers then ordered her to immediately liquidate nearly $700,000 into gold coins so “law enforcement could track the criminals.”

The panicked widow drove roughly 40 miles to Grand Rapids Coins on 10 Mile Road NE near Rockford and wired the massive sum for 145 one-ounce American Eagle gold coins, according to WOOD TV.

But owner Ben Soldaat immediately smelled a rat.

The woman showed classic scam red flags: extreme urgency, confusion, repeated questions, and almost no real interest in the actual coins. Soldaat has seen this before. He contacted the Kent County Sheriff’s Office right away.

Detectives quickly confirmed it was a sophisticated gold bar scam and set up a sting.

Instead of real gold, an undercover deputy dressed as an elderly woman met the courier at a nearby doughnut shop and handed him a package stuffed with chocolate gold coins.

The courier, 20-year-old Yug B. Chauhan of Elmhurst, Illinois, took the bait. He was arrested on the spot. Continue…

Armed and Dangerous, One of the Suspected Terrorists Who Allegedly Shot at the American Embassy Is on the Run, After Killing Toronto Cop During Gunfire Exchange

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/armed-dangerous-one-suspected-terrorists-who-allegedly-shot/

Things got even more serious now.

We have been reporting here on TGP about the March Shooting outside the U.S. Consulate in Toronto, as you can read in Shots Fired at US Consulate in Toronto, RCMP Confirms it’s a ‘National Security Incident’ (VIDEO).

No one was reportedly injured in the incident, and no serious damage was caused when shots were fired on March 10 – but the perpetrators were said to be linked to ‘Global terror networks’.

And yesterday (12), the case just became even more dramatic after a Toronto police officer was killed during an operation linked to the consulate shooting.

One of the suspects was shot and is hospitalized in custody, while the other has escaped.

He is considered to be ‘armed and dangerous’ and is now the subject of a manhunt. Continue…

No one is buying this.

Barack Obama dropped another video promoting his hideous library.

The Obama Presidential Center, which cost more than $850 million to look like a trash heap on the South Side of Chicago, will open to the public on Juneteenth (June 19).

Barack Obama never even spoke about Juneteenth during his presidency.

“My wife is super hot,” Barack Obama said as he gushed over Michelle Obama.

“Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center,” Obama said.

MUST SEE: Spencer Pratt GOES OFF Declaring War on “Morons” Karen Bass and Nithya Raman, Says He Has Recordings “That Would Make Her Resign in Shame” (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/must-see-spencer-pratt-goes-declaring-war-morons/

Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt is holding nothing back in the next phase of his mission to save the once-great city of Los Angeles, announcing that he’s staying in LA to retaliate after the rigged election for mayor.

Right-wing Frontrunner for French Presidential Elections, Jordan Bardella Living a Romance With a Gorgeous Italian Princess – But Lying MSM Insists That is a Bad Thing

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/rightwing-frontrunner-french-presidential-elections-jordan-bardella-living/

Bardella’s princess is a good development, not bad.

After years of non-stop crises, the second presidential mandate of French President Emmanuel Macron finally ends in 2027.

And the clear favorite for the Élisée palace is right-wing, anti-Globalist RN’s Jordan Bardella.

In the May polls by Harris Interactive, Ipsos, and Ifop, Jordan Bardella has between 32% and 34%, vastly outpacing the leftist Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the ‘centrist’ Édouard Philippe.

All polls also show Bardella winning all second-round scenarios.

So, now, we know the MSM playbook will be a constant shading of every single move Bardella makes – including his personal life.

The ridiculous fake news is suggesting that Jordan Bardella’s ‘fairytale romance’ with a gorgeous Italian princess is rattling the National Rally.

The premise is that Macron’s much older former teacher wife-handler is a great thing, but a literal princess is bad? Continue…

Sweden Abolishes Permanent Residence Permits for Asylum Seekers After Migration Experiment Turns Into National Crisis

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/sweden-abolishes-permanent-residence-permits-asylum-seekers-after/

Sweden’s parliament, presently controlled by center-right forces, has voted to abolish permanent residence permits for asylum seekers and several other groups with migration backgrounds, a stunning reversal for a country once praised by Europe’s liberal establishment as the moral showcase of mass immigration.

The new law, set to take effect on July 12, will restrict those covered by the reform to temporary residence permits only. Those who already hold valid permanent residence statuses will not be affected.

The government says the reform “eliminates the possibility of granting permanent residence permits to asylum seekers” and other specified groups. With this, Sweden is ending the idea that entry through the asylum system should become a permanent path to settlement by default. Continue…

President Trump Says Iran Peace Deal To Be Signed Sunday, Will Open Strait To All

Summary:

• President Trump confirms that he is expecting to sign the US-Iran peace deal tomorrow (Sunday), opening the Strait to all

• Pakistan PM confirms US and Iran have ​agreed to the final text of the agreement

• IRGC continues to push back against deal

President Trump said a long-awaited deal to end the war in the Middle East is scheduled to be signed on Sunday, paving the way for the opening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

In a statement issued through Truth Social, President Trump first took a shot at President Obama:

Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now.

Then explained why his deal is different:

My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON!

In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement.

The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL.

69 Arrested In 'Operation Hands Down' Targeting Central California Gangs

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/69-arrested-operation-hands-down-targeting-central-california-gangs

Authorities announced dozens of arrests, drug and firearm seizures, and thousands of dollars in cash confiscated in a large-scale operation targeting gangs in California's Central Valley.

The multi-agency effort, dubbed Operation Hands Down, served 43 search warrants at various locations throughout the San Joaquin Valley, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) stated in a June 10 press release.

More than 500 law enforcement members joined the operation, leading to 69 arrests and the confiscation of 73 guns, 55 pounds of methamphetamine, 3 pounds of cocaine, a small amount of powdered fentanyl, and nearly $165,000.

"This marked the culmination of a two-month undercover operation focusing on Mexican Mafia and Sureño gang members committing various crimes," the CDCR stated.

The arrests are expected to lower the amount of gang violence seen across the Central Valley, the department added.

Among those arrested was Stefan Coronado from Stockton, California, who was identified as a secretary for the Mexican Mafia, Fresno County Sheriff John Zanoni said during a press conference. Continue…

Anthropic Blocks Foreign Access To Fable 5, Mythos 5 After U.S. National Security Order

https://www.zerohedge.com/ai/anthropic-blocks-foreign-access-fable-5-mythos-5-after-us-national-security-order

About four days after Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, a next-generation "Mythos-class" AI model, the frontier AI lab led by Dario Amodei revealed late Friday that it was disabling foreign customers' access to these cutting-edge models, citing an export-control directive from the federal government.

"The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees," Anthropic wrote on X around 9 p.m. ET.

The AI lab's website stated that the federal directive was received around 5:21 p.m. ET. To ensure compliance, the lab was forced to shut off Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all customers.

Anthropic continued, "The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected."

Britain Goes Full 'Airstrip One'

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/britain-goes-full-airstrip-one

In George Orwell's 1984, Great Britain was just a province of Oceania named "Airstrip One" as a none-too-subtle nod to the U.K.'s role as host to the heavy bombers of U.S. Eighth Air Force during World War II.

Four decades past the real 1984, and there's still no Oceania. But Britain looks more and more like Airstrip One as Parliament considers a bill opening up everyone's smartphone to government supervision — and jail time for tech execs who don't submit.

You had to figure this was probably coming, right?

Right.

Reclaim the Net reports that "Ministers are reportedly drafting a law that would force Apple, Google, and the rest to make it impossible for a child to send, receive, view, or share a single nude image, with the executives who refuse facing up to five years in prison."

That might sound all well and good, but as usual, For the Children™ is little more than the government's justification for total surveillance. Continue…

Sweden Plans To Lower Criminal Age To 14 Amid Rise In Violent Crime By Children

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/sweden-plans-lower-criminal-age-14-amid-rise-violent-crime-children

The Swedish government has announced plans to reduce the age of criminal responsibility to 14 after dropping plans to lock up violent offenders as young as 13 in special prison units.

Earlier this month, Swedish Justice Minister Gunnar Strommer announced plans to cut the age from 15 to 13, but on June 11, he said there was not enough support in parliament for that and that he had agreed to compromise at 14.

"We are going to propose that the age of criminal responsibility should be cut to 14 instead of 13 years old," Strommer told reporters.

Currently, anyone under 15 who is suspected of having committed a serious crime is sent to a youth home, run by social services, and cannot be sentenced to a custodial sentence in prison.

Strommer said in 2025 that more than 50 children under 15 were suspected of murder or attempted murder.

There has been a surge in gang crime and drug-related violence in Sweden over the past 20 years, and it now has one of the highest rates of shootings and bombings in Europe, dozens of which were carried out by minors.

Hungary Backs Away From Crypto Criminalization In Regulatory U-Turn

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/hungary-backs-away-crypto-criminalization-regulatory-u-turn

Hungary is dismantling the restrictive digital asset framework introduced under former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a policy overhaul that will decriminalize crypto trading and eliminate the prison sentences that had driven major platforms from the country, government spokesperson Anita Kobol said Thursday, according to Bloomberg.

The rollback marks a full reversal of legislation that took effect July 1, 2025, after parliament passed rules criminalizing the use of unlicensed exchanges and certain unauthorized high-value crypto transactions.

Those transactions — ranging between 50 million Hungarian forints (roughly $162,000) and 500 million forints (roughly $1.62 million) — subjected individuals to prison terms of up to two or five years, depending on the transaction value.

Service providers operating without a central bank license faced sentences of up to eight years.

The rules required approved validation for both crypto-to-fiat and crypto-to-crypto conversions, a burden that led platforms including Revolut to suspend crypto services in Hungary and triggered an EU probe into whether the restrictions complied with bloc-wide regulations.

Domestic trading volumes fell as local firms absorbed steep compliance costs. Continue…

EU Agrees to Launch Membership Talks with Ukraine Despite War Continuing

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/06/13/eu-agrees-to-launch-membership-talks-with-ukraine-despite-war-continuing/

BRUSSELS (AP) – European Union nations agreed on Friday to open membership talks with Ukraine next week, officially launching the process for the war-torn country to eventually join the world’s biggest trading bloc.

At a meeting in Brussels, ambassadors from the 27 EU nations decided to officially open negotiations with Ukraine as well as with Moldova, which Russia has also tried to drag back into its orbit, on Monday in Luxembourg.

Ukraine sees EU membership as an important “security guarantee” for a stable future once war with Russia ends.

Its best guarantee would be NATO membership, but the Trump administration insists that cannot happen. Others oppose it joining while fighting continues. Russia is strongly against it, and has cited moves toward NATO membership as a reason for launching its full-scale invasion in 2022, though it has not objected to EU membership for Kyiv.

Countries hoping to join the EU must complete negotiations in 35 policy areas, or chapters, ranging from agriculture to trade, a process which can take years. Continue…

30-Year-Old ‘Pakistani Heritage’ Man Arrested After Teen Girl Stabbed in Neck in English Town

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2026/06/13/30-year-old-man-arrested-after-teen-girl-stabbed-in-neck-in-english-town/

A 30-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly stabbing a teenage girl in the neck in broad daylight on the streets of a Lancashire town on Friday.

UPDATE: Lancashire Police have revealed that the suspect in the stabbing attack in Brierfield is a man of Pakistani heritage who was born in Britain. However, they said that there was no evidence to suggest it was a racially motivated attack, the Lancashire Telegraph reported. The police force also said that the 17-year-old stabbing victim has been released from hospital.

‘Help me!’: Botched euthanasia exposes the horrific reality behind ‘medical aid in dying’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/help-me-botched-euthanasia-exposes-the-horrific-reality-behind-medical-aid-in-dying/

The great victory of suicide activists has been to sanitize and medicalize the killing of human beings. We cannot use words like “suicide” or “killing”; we must instead use false, propagandistic language like “medical aid in dying” or, preferably, the official-sounding acronym “MAID.” Suicide and killing still make us uncomfortable, and so the terms have been whisked carefully out of sight.

The propaganda constantly being pumped into the public is that a death by lethal injection is not only morally acceptable, but beautiful and peaceful. Conversely, dying naturally is presented as grim, painful, and horrible both for the person who is dying and for his or her family. The CBC and other press outlets have consistently presented restrictions on euthanasia as cruel measures that force people to experience awful pain.

Occasionally, we catch glimpses of the truth. “An Ontario man groaned, grimaced and repeated ‘help me’ while undergoing doctor-assisted death after one of the drugs didn’t produce the anticipated level of sedation, initially leaving him conscious,” Sharon Kirkey reported in the National Post on June 3.

The man, referred to as Mr. D., “experienced signs of physical and psychological distress, including groaning, guarding (tensing muscles) and grimacing,” and his “behavioral signs of distress escalated to repeated verbalizations, including ‘help me’ that continued until sedation was achieved with propofol and a comatose state was confirmed.” The family’s final memories of their father are traumatic.

Suddenly, it was clear that Mr. D. was not just dying—he was being killed, and the doctor was botching it. His last words, it seems, were calls to his family for help.

Another example from Kirkey: “Cases of MAID that do not proceed as planned were highlighted last week in media reports involving the 2024 death of Bradley Stewart, an Ontario man who resumed breathing after being pronounced dead by a London, Ont., family doctor and MAID provider — a traumatic experience his siblings who witnessed his mishandled death are still recovering from.” Continue…

WATCH: ‘Transgender’ actress Ellen Page tries to explain her ‘healthy masculinity’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/watch-transgender-actress-ellen-page-tries-to-explain-her-healthy-masculinity/

Oscar-nominated actress Ellen Page—who now goes by the name “Elliot” and identifies as a man—recently told an interviewer that she is now experiencing “healthy masculinity.” Ilana Glazer, host of the “It’s Open” podcast, asked Page about her “gender journey.”

“I’ve been asking people about masculinity and femininity,” Glazer said. “In your gender journey, which to me as someone who knows you but also as someone consuming you as a public figure, to me you appear healthy and continually finding more health and security. What does it mean to you to hear me say ‘healthy masculinity’?”

Page admitted that she struggles with it. “Healthy masculinity to me is or even just something I’ve felt as trans … is like leaning away from whenever there is some sort of impulse or expectation you’ve put on yourself to shut down or conform in a way that usually feels like this, like I am closing off,” she said. “I remember kind of being like, ‘Oh, Elliot, maybe you should, you know, talk with your hands a little less.’”

Glazer nods and mhmms affirmingly throughout Page’s answer, no doubt eager to prove that she is an ally. In Hollywood, it is considered entirely sane to ask a young woman who was sexually assaulted and harassed as a young actress, had her breasts amputated, and now identifies as a man, what “healthy masculinity” looks like. Aside from the fact that Page often looks depressed and sad, asking a woman to define her “masculinity” is obviously a self-defeating proposition. Continue…

Abortion pill use is surging across Canada despite its dangers

https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/abortion-pill-use-is-surging-across-canada-despite-its-dangers/

Last year, a Nova Scotia mother was admitted to the hospital after taking abortion pills at home. She was bleeding to death. “It was heartbreaking because it felt like a nightmare,” she said at the time. “You’re in a crowded room with all these professionals crying, begging for help, and nobody’s helping you. I was begging for help, crying, pleading. I’m like looking down (at the blood), traumatized. I’m screaming at the top of my lungs, and nobody’s listening to me.” She was fortunate. She survived.

Only one mainstream media outlet—Global News—covered the story. And yet, tens of thousands of dangerous pill abortions happen every year in Canada, and politicians, activist organizations, and healthcare professionals are constantly pushing to increase access to these drugs and ensure that any woman, anywhere in Canada, can procure them. (A recent American study indicated that 11 percent of women who take the abortion pill experience a medical incident.)

Saskatoon Sexual Health announced that their “abortion patient navigator” program, which works to connect Saskatchewanians—especially those in rural areas—with “terminations” and abortion pills is once again fully funded. SSH, which used to be Planned Parenthood Saskatoon before rebranding in 2007 (and again in 2016), issued a public plea for donations earlier this month, resulting in $20,000 in funds in days.

Executive director Candice Klein told the CBC that abortion is in growing demand in the province. “We are seeing an increase in unplanned pregnancies across the province,” she said. “It’s not just our clinic. I’ve been talking with other clinics, with other physicians, with surgeons. It’s an actual issue and we’re not entirely sure why.” Continue…

Honda Canada CEO Says Government Policies Make Canada Less Competitive

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/honda-canada-ceo-says-government-policies-make-canada-less-competitive-6047437?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

Honda Canada President and CEO Dave Jamieson says low-cost, state-subsidized cars entering the country and government policies are making Canada less competitive, while emphasizing that access to the U.S. market is essential.

His comments come as Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government signed a deal in January to allow 49,000 Chinese EVs into Canada at a reduced tariff rate of 6.1 percent from the previous 100 percent rate.

Speaking at the 2026 Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association Summit on June 9, Jamieson warned that Canada is at a “crossroads,” and the decisions made in the coming months or years will determine whether the country remains a global leader in auto manufacturing or becomes a market for others to sell into.

The auto manufacturing industry is “one of Canada’s most important economic engines,” he said, but noted that the past year has been “difficult” as the industry manages a shift toward electrification, trade pressures, and challenges from foreign automakers entering the Canadian market.

Honda Canada announced in May that it was “indefinitely” suspending its plans to build a $15 billion electric vehicle plant in Ontario. The company said this would not affect current employment or production levels at its factory in Alliston.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has ruled that Parliamentary security violated an organization’s Charter rights by prohibiting it from displaying anti-abortion signs depicting aborted fetuses at a 2023 event on Parliament Hill.

The court found on June 11 that the security’s decision infringed on Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) members’ freedom of expression under section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and was not justified under section 1 of the Charter.

During a press conference held on the Parliament Hill lawn on May 10, 2023, Parliamentary Protective Service (PPS) inspected CLC signs depicting aborted fetuses, and told the organizers that the images were too graphic and violated Parliament Hill’s rules that govern demonstrations. The press conference was held a day before the CLC’s annual March For Life through the streets of Ottawa, attended by thousands of people.

The judge found that PPS relied on a rule that prohibited “obscene messages or messages promoting hate or violence,” but said this seemed “problematic” because the signs would not have met the Criminal Code definition of obscenity.

The judge also said that while PPS brought in an expert to demonstrate that the images on the signs could have been traumatizing for children and women who had undergone abortions, there were no “children or vulnerable individuals present at the time in question.”

The judge wrote that while Parliament Hill is subject to rules and reasonable limits, Charter protections still apply to political expression taking place at the site. The judge said that the CLC had only sought a declaration that the citizens’ Section 2 Charter rights were infringed upon, and that this was “appropriate” to declare. Continue…

Defence Official Fired After Criticizing Anti-US Rhetoric Sues for Wrongful Dismissal

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/defence-official-fired-after-criticizing-absurd-anti-us-rhetoric-sues-for-wrongful-dismissal-6047364?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

A former Department of National Defence executive who was dismissed after criticizing Western leaders’ rhetoric toward the United States is suing the federal government.

Raquel Garbers filed a statement of claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ottawa on June 11. Garbers is seeking roughly $2 million for lost benefits and punitive damages.

“DND deliberately or negligently assisted in destroying Ms. Garbers’ career and well-being as a respected federal executive and defence expert,” the claim says.

The complaint filed against the Attorney General of Canada alleges that the Department of National Defence (DND) also humiliated Garbers during the months between when she received a termination notice and her last day at work.

Garbers worked at DND as director general of Strategic Defence Policy, and at the time of her firing she had been on an assignment with the Centre for International Governance and Innovation (CIGI), a Canadian think tank.

While on assignment for CIGI, Garbers published an op-ed in a newspaper titled, “Indulging in absurd anti-US rhetoric? You’re doing a solid for Moscow or Beijing.” The article appeared in The Hill Times on Oct. 15, 2025. The Ottawa-based publication caters principally to parliamentarians and politicos. Continue…

Washington Postpones Annual Joint Canada–US Military Officer Summit

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/washington-postpones-annual-joint-canada-us-military-officer-summit-6047433?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

The U.S. Army National Guard has postponed an upcoming joint military summit featuring senior Canadian and American army officers, saying the meeting will be rescheduled.

The news was confirmed by Canada’s Department of National Defence (DND), which said this year’s Canada–U.S. Reserve General Officers Advisory Board (GOAB) summit has been postponed and that a future meeting will be planned, although no date has yet been determined.

The U.S. Army National Guard says the decision to delay the meeting is not related to any debate over aircraft purchases, as Ottawa considers a mixed fighter-jet fleet of both U.S.-made F-35s and Swedish-made Gripen fighters.

News of the postponement comes only weeks after U.S. Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby announced that the Pentagon is pausing participation in the Permanent Joint Board on Defense, another longstanding Canada–U.S. defence forum.

The joint board is an advisory body dating back to 1940. In outlining the reasons for the decision, Colby said Canada had “failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments” and that Washington was reassessing the board’s role in boosting North American defence cooperation.

The Pentagon has not responded to requests for comment regarding the postponement of the GOAB meeting and DND has also not offered further details apart from confirming it will be postponed. Continue…

Carney says his middle-powers doctrine is 'gaining real traction,' announces intel-sharing pact with France

https://nationalpost.com/news/carney-says-his-middle-powers-doctrine-is-gaining-real-traction-announces-intel-sharing-pact-with-france

On a visit to Paris, Prime Minister Mark Carney said he believes the notion is catching on for middle powers to unite against “hegemons,” as he laid out in his attention-grabbing speech in Davos, Switzerland, earlier this year.

“It is gaining real traction,” said Carney during a press conference in the French capital on Friday. “You see it in the agreements we have, you see … those translating into specific business-to-business and research arrangements that are coming forward.”

Carney met with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace, where both leaders announced a new general security of information agreement, designed to deepen defence ties between the two countries and facilitate the exchange of classified information.

The prime minister described Canada’s relationship with France as more than just friendship, and reiterated comments made last month that he believes the international order would be rebuilt out of Europe.

“Canada, France and Europe are poised to be a powerful force for good, in the century ahead,” said Carney.

Carney’s visit to Paris is part of a weeklong trip that will end at the annual G7 Summit at Evian-Les-Bains, France, with a stopover in Ireland.

Macron holds the G7 presidency this year, after Carney held it in 2025 and hosted the summit last year in Kananaskis, Alta.

Macron said France serves as a key bridge between Canada and Europe. Continue…
