Grieving Mother of Noelia Castillo Ramos Using Daughter’s Secret Journal to Try and Hunt Down Gang Rape Attackers After Her Euthanasia Death

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/grieving-mother-noelia-castillo-ramos-using-daughters-secret/

A grieving mother in Spain is now using her late daughter’s secret journal to launch a desperate search for the men, widely reported to have been North African migrants, who gang-raped her years ago.

Yolanda Ramos received the diary from her 25-year-old daughter, Noelia Castillo Ramos, on the day she died by euthanasia in a Barcelona hospital in March.

The journal contains details about the horrific gang rape that Noelia was subjected to when she was 21 in the town of Salou in Tarragona province, along with accounts of other sexual assaults she suffered.

Before her death, Noelia had publicly spoken about surviving multiple sexual assaults in television interviews, including a gang rape at a nightclub and other attacks.

She never named the perpetrators, and Spanish authorities have never identified any suspects.

After reading the diary, her mother said she finally understood many things about what her daughter had endured and decided to take action by filing formal complaints to pursue justice.

The New York Post reports that the diary “recounted meeting a waiter in the town of Salou in Tarragona, being drugged, plied with alcohol, and raped by three men.

“Noelia spoke about the rapes on television, and on the very day she died, she gave me her diary. When I read it, I understood many things,” Yolanda Ramos said in a video about her criminal complaints. Continue'

Unacceptable and Dangerous: Georgetown’s China Initiative Gives CCP-Linked Groups Access to Future US Policymakers

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/unacceptable-dangerous-georgetowns-china-initiative-gives-ccp-linked/

In the latest anti-American move made by American academic institutions, Campus Reform is reporting “Georgetown University has spent the last decade building one of the nation’s most prominent China-focused academic pipelines while receiving tens of millions of dollars in Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-linked funding and nearly $1.5 billion in foreign gifts and contracts since 1992.”

This is outrageous and dangerous in light of President Trump’s address Thursday night to the nation and the revelations of what the CCP engaged in.

President Trump has argued that China interfered in our elections.

The CCP or Chinese Communist Party has sought to undermine America from within at every turn.

Georgetown has raked in billions from foreign governments. Georgetown increased tuition prices for hard-working American families. This fall, undergraduate tuition will cost American students $74,520 before room, board, and fees are factored in, more than doubling since 2006.”

This is outrageous and unacceptable.

“The university has also helped create opportunities for Chinese state-linked institutions and CCP-tied organizations to gain access to the next generation of U.S. policymakers in Washington, D.C.”

If this seems like a recipe for disaster its because it is. Continue…

LONG OVERDUE: State Department to Crack Down on Universities That Take Money From Foreign Entities on Government Watch Lists

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/long-overdue-state-department-crack-down-universities-that/

The State Department and a handful of other government agencies are going to start cracking down on colleges and universities that take money from foreign entities that are on government watch lists.

This is something we should have been doing for years, but better late than never.

Higher education is always looking for new forms of revenue and will take cash from pretty much anywhere. It’s a significant threat to national security.

NEW: DHS Shortens Duration of Visas for Foreign Reporters, Students, and Exchange Visitors

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/new-dhs-shortens-duration-visas-foreign-reporters-students/

The Department of Homeland Security announced a new rule on Thursday, reducing the duration that foreign journalists, students, and cultural exchange visa-holders can stay in the country.

The new rule replaces the previously unspecified period of time that immigrants were admitted to the United States, known as “duration of status,” with a fixed number of days they will be allowed to stay.

“This decisive shift restores integrity to the nation’s immigration system, combats rampant visa abuse, and strengthens national security through regular vetting. A fixed period of admission is currently in place for many other types of nonimmigrant visas,” the Department of Homeland Security said.

With the exception of some Chinese nationals on I visas for representatives of foreign information media, journalists from other countries will be granted “admission for a fixed time period until they complete the activities or assignments consistent with the I classification, not to exceed 240 days.”

Chinese reporters face a much stricter 90-day limit.

According to the final rule’s public inspection version, “There were 37,330 admissions for I nonimmigrant foreign media representatives in the United States in FY 2024, over double the 16,753 admissions into the U.S. in 1985 and a nearly 15 percent increase from the prior fiscal year”

It also places restrictions on student F visas and cultural exchange J visas.

Exchange and student visas will only be granted for the duration of their programs, not to exceed four years.

The public inspection version of the rule reads, Continue…

Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, 86, was charged with a misdemeanor hit-and-run after his car crash in Napa County in California.

The crash happened on July 3 on Yountville Cross Road.

No DUI is suspected.

Fox News asked Nancy Pelosi about her husband’s hit-and-run case on Friday, but the lawmaker refused to engage.

“Ok, that’s enough. That’s enough!” Pelosi’s staffer shouted at the Fox News reporter.

Paul Pelosi damaged a parked Tesla and fled the scene, according to the criminal complaint.

This is the second time Paul Pelosi has been involved in a car crash in the last few years. Continue…

Huge Win for Second Amendment — Federal Appeals Court Strikes Down New Jersey’s Unconstitutional Semi-Automatic Rifle Ban and Magazine Limit

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/huge-win-second-amendment-federal-appeals-court-strikes/

The anti-gun agenda suffered a major legal defeat on Friday after the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that New Jersey’s ban on semi-automatic rifles and its prohibition on magazines holding more than 10 rounds violate the Second Amendment.

In a sweeping 10-5 en banc decision, the Third Circuit held that New Jersey’s so-called “assault firearm” ban cannot survive the constitutional test established by the U.S. Supreme Court in its landmark 2022 New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen decision. The court also struck down the state’s 10-round magazine limit.

The 192-page opinion concluded that New Jersey’s prohibition on semi-automatic rifles, including the popular AR-15 platform, and its restrictions on so-called “large-capacity magazines” infringe on the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

Writing for the majority, the court declared: Continue…

Polish President Karol Nawrocki Vetoes Bills Giving Rights to Same-Sex Couples, Vows To Protect Marriage as ‘Union of a Man and a Woman’

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/polish-president-karol-nawrocki-vetoes-bills-giving-rights/

Nawrocki is fighting the good fight in decaying Europe.

Although Poland is governed by Liberal-Globalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk, the Donald J. Trump-aligned President is using his constitutional powers to good effect, defending the conservative values for which he was elected.

About a month ago, he took up the fight against Ukrainians honoring WW2 Nazi criminals who massacred 100,000 Poles and Jews, going as far as stripping Volodymyr Zelensky of Poland’s highest commendation, the White Eagle award.

Today, it arises that Nawrocki VETOED bills that would give same-sex couples new rights, and unapologetically vowed to protect marriage as ‘a union of a man and a woman’. Continue…

In Speech to European Parliament Cardinal Sarah Warns “Gender Ideology and Islamic Fundamentalism” Are “Apocalyptic Beasts” Seeking to Destroy Humanity (Video)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/07/speech-european-parliament-cardinal-sarah-warns-gender-ideology/

In a speech before the European Parliament, Cardinal Robert Sarah warned that the rise of radical Islam and the push of gender ideology are “apocalyptic beasts” and an attack on the sanctity of life and God.

The event, “Europe and Africa. In conversation with Cardinal Robert Sarah,” was presented as “an opportunity for reflection and dialogue on the relationship between Europe and Africa, with particular attention to Christianity, culture, human dignity, and the future of our societies.”

During his speech, Cardinal Sarah noted, “The crisis of the Church in the West and the crisis of the West itself are, at heart, one and the same crisis.”

“It is because the Church in many European nations has lost its identity, its prophetic voice, that the West itself has lost the meaning of its own civilization.”

Kuwait was bombarded overnight in one of the fiercest Iranian retaliatory strikes since the US-Iran conflict erupted in late February, with missiles and one-way drones targeting power infrastructure and other critical energy assets.

Local outlet Kuwait News Agency reports an unspecified site of the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation suffered "significant material losses" as the week-long flare-up in Gulf tensions has derailed any near-term normalization of tanker flows through the Strait of Hormuz.

There was a report that the Al-Subiya power station was struck. This marks the second attack on Kuwaiti power infrastructure in just days, after a transformer at the Zour South electricity and desalination complex was hit on Friday. Continue…

Air-quality map as of Saturday morning:

"We're going to put sanctions on them, hold their assets, make sure they don't have visas, and impose tariffs because we have to ensure that the people suffering are compensated," Moreno told Ingraham.

Moreno continued, "This is an abject, avoidable disaster. And the left, who by the way, talks about climate change every single day, this is the worst environmental disaster you could ever imagine!"

32 Jailed Over 2018 Italian Bridge Disaster That Killed 43

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/32-jailed-over-2018-italian-bridge-disaster-killed-43

An Italian court sentenced 32 people to a total of more than 170 years in prison on July 16, over their role in a 2018 bridge collapse that claimed the lives of 43 people.

The former head of Italian motorway operator Autostrade per l'Italia (ASPI), Giovanni Castellucci, received the longest sentence of 12 years in prison for his role in the disaster, which saw the Morandi motorway bridge near the city of Genoa fall apart during a rainstorm on the morning of Aug. 14, 2018.

Michele Donferri Mitelli, another former senior manager at the publicly traded motorway management company, was given an 11-year sentence, with a further 30 defendants receiving custodial sentences.

Others sentenced included managers and engineers from ASPI's engineering subsidiary SPEA, as well as former officials from Italy's Infrastructure and Transport Ministry.

Of the 57 people who stood trial, a further 25 were either acquitted or cleared due to the statute of limitations, Italian outlet La Repubblica reported.

The Genoa courtroom fell silent as presiding judge Paolo Lepri read the verdicts for around 45 minutes, with 400 relatives of the victims, lawyers, journalists, and members of the public listening, Reuters reported.

Egle Possetti, president of the Committee for the Remembrance of the Morandi Bridge Victims, called the verdicts "important" and "positive."

"We believe the judges have done a thorough job, examining each position in detail," she told Italian public broadcaster RAI. Continue…

Russia Pressing Ahead On Rail Link To Iran & Azerbaijan To Ease Strain On Maritime Routes

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-pressing-ahead-rail-link-iran-azerbaijan-ease-strain-maritime-routes

This week has brought new US attacks on Iranian infrastructure and logistics, including fresh overnight attacks on some half a dozen bridges, and even reports of strikes on rail hubs and airports.

The New York Times observes Friday that "Bridges, rail lines, power and water facilities, and other targets in Iran, Kuwait and elsewhere in the Middle East were attacked in airstrikes on Friday as the United States and Iran escalated their weeklong crisis over the Strait of Hormuz."

Russia has chimed in, reiterating that its close relations with Tehran offer the country which is now under American bombs and important economic lifeline.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in fresh remarks at a press conference following talks with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov reminded his audience that the backbone of Russia-Iran trade remains the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), a network of shipping lanes, railways, and roads linking Russia with more southerly Asian continent allies.

This 'north-south corridor' as it is sometimes reference, will become all the more important as the US-Iran conflict drags on with no end in sight.

"The topic is indeed very important, especially in a situation where the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz is dragging on, as it appears. The global economy and global transport routes are suffering from this," Lavrov stated.

Finnish MEP Warns Britain Is 'Worst Example' Of Free Speech In Europe After Entry Ban

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/finnish-mep-warns-britain-worst-example-free-speech-europe-after-entry-ban

Finnish MEP Sebastian Tynkkynen has warned that Britain is fast becoming the worst example in Europe when it comes to defending free speech after he became the latest elected European politician to be banned from entering the country ahead of his appearance at the inaugural Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Great Britain.

In a video posted on social media, the conservative politician said, “I was just banned from entering the U.K. I am an elected member of the European Parliament and was invited to speak at the very first conservative CPAC conference in the U.K.

“We had the adverts out, flights and hotel booked, and I was supposed to head to the airport in just two hours.

“Then, only moments ago, I was informed that my presence wouldn’t be conducive to the public good.

“Throughout my political career, I have defended our girls and women from the threats posed by mass migration. For some, like U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, this is hate speech.

“For me, it is simply what all politicians should be doing: addressing the problem, changing the legislation and sending them home.” Continue…

"Just The Beginning": Japan Buys Billions In Nvidia Rubin Chips To Power Humanoid Robots

https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/just-beginning-japan-plays-24-billion-nvidia-rubin-chip-bet-power-humanoid-robots

Japan plans to acquire 27,500 Nvidia Rubin chips as part of a $2.4 billion, government-backed push to develop domestic humanoid robotics models and reduce its dependence on foreign AI. This major effort comes as physical AI comes after data center buildouts, with global shipments of humanoid robots expected to surge next year.

Bloomberg reports that the newly formed Noetra Corp. will oversee the project and build an estimated 140-megawatt data center, scheduled to begin operating in about two years.

Sony, SoftBank, NEC, Fujitsu, and Toyota-backed Preferred Networks are among the top companies supporting the domestic AI push, which seeks to consolidate Japan's fragmented AI programs under one roof.

Noetra plans to release the first AI model tailored for industrial robots in Q1 2027. Japan is positioning itself to capture 30% of the expected $370 billion global robotics market by 2040. Continue…

When Socialists Tell You Who They Are, Believe Them

In a Zoom video call in 2023, a leader of the Democratic Socialists of America said, “Our goal is communism.” It was published as part of a compilation in April 2026.

None of the Democratic Socialists disavowed it. Nobody posted a “clarifying statement” distancing the DSA from that statement.

So that’s who they are. Their goal is communism.

The name of that leader is David Jenkins. He’s a member of the DSA’s National Political Committee, so he ought to know.

Israel Advances Plan For Palestinian Prisons With Crocodile-Filled Moats

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/israel-advances-plan-palestinian-prisons-crocodile-filled-moats

The Israeli government has stripped Nile crocodiles of their protected status, paving the way for a proposal to build a detention facility for Palestinians surrounded by the reptiles, Israeli media reported on Thursday.

Environment Minister Idit Silman signed a decree on Wednesday reclassifying Nile crocodiles as a "specially managed wild animal" - a new legal category that allows the state to keep the animals for security purposes, according to Israeli news site Ynet. In the decree, Silman said Israel's security forces could now keep crocodiles under specific conditions.

According to Ynet, the move went against the advice of the Environment Ministry's legal adviser and environmental groups. The decision follows months of pressure from National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who in December proposed building a prison encircled by crocodiles.

Ben Gvir, who oversees the Israel Prison Service (IPS), said he was inspired by Florida's controversial immigration detention centre, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz". Continue…

$100 Billion & Climbing: Iran War Price Tag Believed Far Higher Than WH Estimates

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/100-billion-climbing-iran-war-price-tag-believed-far-higher-wh-estimates

While the Pentagon publicly clings to a $30 billion price tag for its war against Iran, internal Defense Department assessments (unsurprisingly) paint a far more staggering picture: the true cost is rapidly closing in on the $80 billion to $100 billion range, according to NBC News.

The Pentagon's Office of Management and Budget told Congress on June 30 that US military operations against Iran so far is $30 billion: "We’ve spent about $30 billion," OMB Director Russel Vought told the House Appropriations Committee.

NBC's new assessment bluntly states the following, however: "The cost of the war with Iran could be more than triple the most recent estimate of roughly $30 billion, according to three U.S. officials and three people familiar with the internal cost estimates."

The lower figure was reportedly initially floated based a classic Washington accounting trick which only evaluates the cost of expended missiles and munitions while conveniently ignoring the charred remnants of American hardware and damaged bases littering the Gulf states after Iranian retaliatory attacks, the report explains.

Organized Insanity: Why ICE Shootings Are Usually Justified

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/organized-insanity-why-ice-shootings-are-usually-justified

It has been noted by many deportation advocates that the enforcement of basic immigration laws has always been a responsibility of government. It's not a new, unique, bizarre or despotic policy - It's simply common sense. However, in the past decade, the common sense enforcement of the law is being treated like a humanitarian crisis akin to slavery, ethnic cleansing and genocide. Why?

It's not because the general public sees it that way. The citizenry did not suddenly change their views on mass immigration overnight. Most Americans are not particularly enthusiastic about "multiculturalism" or ethnic replacement and they never have been. The big change was the focus of the progressive spin machine.

The multiculturalists turned up the heat on their propaganda from moderate to full-blown "we are the world" cult insanity, and they did this in the span of a few years. In other words, the pro-mass immigration movement is not a real movement; it's astroturf largely created by an army of non-profit organizations with wealthy globalist backers.

Without these NGOs, "anti-ICE" protests and disruption groups would not exist. These people get compensated for the things they do. That's how they're able to spend most of their day tracking ICE agents without losing their jobs - because provocation is their job. Continue…

California Grocery Stores Use Facial Recognition Technology To Combat Theft

https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/california-grocery-stores-use-facial-recognition-technology-combat-theft

Faced with a shoplifting epidemic that has battered California retailers for years, Grocery Outlet is fighting back with technology.

Customers are not thrilled about it.

The Emeryville-based discount grocery chain has begun installing facial recognition software called SAFR at a handful of Bay Area stores, including its Pleasant Hill “Bargain Market” location, CBS News San Francisco reported.

Customers walking through the doors will find signs warning them the system is in use, a disclosure the company says is meant to keep shoppers informed.

The rollout comes as California tries to combat a shoplifting problem that has spiraled out of control.

FBI data cited by CBS shows theft in the state has jumped 50 percent since the COVID-19 pandemic, a surge that has forced retailers from big-box chains to neighborhood grocers to spend millions on security measures, or in some cases, shutter stores altogether. Continue…

Jim Jordan Warns Canada’s Censorship Push Could Come for Americans Next

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/07/17/jim-jordan-canada-censorship-surveillance-americans/

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) said Friday that he is “very concerned” Canada’s expanding censorship and surveillance laws could erode the free-speech and privacy rights of Americans.

Jordan made the comments in a sit-down with Elie Cantin-Nantel of EMCN Media, an independent Canadian digital media venture. The interview came weeks after he and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast (R-FL) sent a letter to Canada’s public safety minister raising the same concerns.

The Ohio Republican said Canada’s Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, would reach beyond Canadian borders because Americans routinely communicate with and travel to the country.

“Are Americans in jeopardy of their privacy, their communications, their Fourth Amendment liberties that we have under our Constitution?” Jordan said. “We’re seeing this infringement on American liberties and, frankly, American companies being required to do things.” Continue…

Trump ‘betrayal’ puts US on path to revolution – Tucker Carlson

https://www.rt.com/news/643173-tucker-carlson-us-trump-revolution/

The US is on the path to revolution because President Donald Trump has betrayed Americans by putting foreign interests ahead of those of his own country, journalist Tucker Carlson has said.

In an interview on Bloomberg’s The Mishal Husain Show aired on Friday, the conservative commentator – once among Trump’s most prominent supporters – accused the president of being “totally disloyal” to the US, saying he had “cheated on the United States with a foreign power.”

“This is why countries have revolutions,” Carlson said, adding: “I don’t want revolution, but we’re going to get a revolution if this continues.”

The former Fox News host, who backed Trump’s 2024 reelection campaign before breaking with him over Iran, argued that many Americans no longer believed the political system represented their interests. He said Republicans had failed to fulfill promises to dismantle the “deep state,” citing the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files as evidence of why many supporters had lost faith in the party.

Carlson has become increasingly critical of US backing for Israel’s war in Gaza and publicly urged Trump not to attack Iran during Israel’s 12-Day War with the Islamic Republic in June 2025. Their rift deepened after the US joined Israel’s strikes on Iran in late February, with Carlson accusing Trump of putting Israeli interests ahead of America’s. He also described Trump’s “true religion” as “Israelism” and called the Iran war “disgusting and evil.” Continue…

Canadian Attorney General wants to make 'residential school denialism' illegal despite mass graves hoax

https://thepostmillennial.com/canadian-attorney-general-wants-to-make-residential-school-denialism-illegal-despite-mass-graves-hoaxv

British Columbia’s attorney general says the provincial NDP government is urging Ottawa to change the Criminal Code to criminalize what it calls “residential school denialism.” Niki Sharma made the comments Thursday during an event in Surrey where the province demanded the designation of a site for ash scattering. She was asked about a recent Assembly of First Nations resolution calling on the federal government to treat residential school denialism as hate speech.

“We’ve also been calling on the federal government to take action through the criminal code,” Sharma said. She added: “We have seen an unprecedented and terrible rise in residential school denialism here in the legislature and in Victoria. We as a government have solidly condemned it.”

The comments come after British Columbia controversy over statements made by independent MLA Dallas Brodie and other former Conservative MLAs regarding the Kamloops Indian Residential School site and the 2021 ground-penetrating radar findings.

Brodie has publicly said the number of confirmed child burials at the former school site is zero and questioned aspects of media coverage surrounding the findings. Indigenous organizations and government officials have described similar claims as residential school denialism.

The AFN passed an emergency resolution this week calling on Canada to create stand-alone legislation making residential school denialism a criminal offence under hate speech laws. BC Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief Terry Teegee said there has been an “exponential” increase in anti-Indigenous hate across British Columbia and Canada according to The Western Standard.

Previous attempts to introduce similar measures at the federal level include private members’ bills from NDP MP Leah Gazan. Those proposals sought to amend the Criminal Code to make publicly denying, downplaying, condoning, or justifying the residential school system a form of willful promotion of hatred against Indigenous peoples.

A proposed amendment to the federal Combatting Hate Act that would have criminalized residential school denialism was defeated in the Senate in June.

Senator Patti LaBoucane-Benson, who opposed the amendment, said it risked “watering our wine and not going for the full force of what should happen with residential school denialism.”

The BC government has not introduced its own provincial legislation on the issue. Canada spent about $8 million previously to try to discover the "heartbreaking truth" about mass graves, or unmarked graves at the Indian Residential School in Kamloops, British Columbia, only to find that there were no bodies recovered at all. The publicly confirmed number from these investigations is 0 recovered bodies as of 2026. Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations Carolane Gratton said that the substantial funding was used for fieldwork, records searches, and securing the grounds of the school, Western Standard reports, but no remains were ever uncovered.

In 2021 the First Nations in BC announced that they had discovered the graves of 215 children on the grounds of the school. International criticism of Canada and their residential school system was swift and furious. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau even went out to the site with a teddy bear to express his compassion. "What happened decades ago isn’t part of our history, it is an irrefutable part of our present," Trudeau said.

Dollarama Recalls Spice Sold Nationwide Due to ‘Microbial Contamination’

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/dollarama-recalls-spice-sold-nationwide-due-to-microbial-contamination-6063794?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

A spice sold at a Canadian discount chain is being recalled across the country due to a “microbial contamination.”

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) published a recall notice this week for canisters of garlic powder sold at Dollarama.

The retail chain is pulling the spice, part of the Heavenly Spices line, from its shelves because of bacillus cereus contamination, the notice said. The spice is sold in a 70-gram container and was available in stores both across Canada as well as online.

The recall was initiated by the company, and has been categorized as Class 2 by the CFIA, indicating a moderate risk that consuming the food may lead to short-term or non-life-threatening health problems.

“Do not use, sell, serve or distribute the affected product,” the recall notice said.

Dollarama said on its website that customers can contact customer service at client@dollarama.com with a picture of the product and its lot number to get information about a refund. Continue…

Convoy Organizer Pat King’s Partial Acquittal Overturned by Appeal Court

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/convoy-organizer-pat-kings-partial-acquittal-overturned-by-appeal-court-6063839?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

The Ontario Court of Appeal has convicted Freedom Convoy organizer Pat King for intimidation, and ordered him to return for a re-sentencing hearing at a later date.

King was previously convicted of several offences related to the 2022 trucker protests in downtown Ottawa, and received a conditional sentence and probation, but was acquitted of intimidation charges.

However, prosecutors appealed one of the acquittals, arguing that King’s sentence was too lenient, resulting in the appeal court’s ruling released July 17.

The Freedom Convoy was a loosely affiliated protest movement that saw participants park hundreds of trucks and vehicles in downtown Ottawa in early 2022 to demonstrate against restrictions and vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The blocking off of areas of downtown Ottawa by protesters lasted for about three weeks from late January until mid-February.

Then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau broke up the protest by invoking the Emergencies Act. Continue…

Anand Hosts Mexican Counterpart Amid Uncertainty Over CUSMA

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand hosted Mexican Foreign Secretary Roberto Velasco in Ottawa this week where the two discussed strengthening trade and defence relations.

The meeting comes just a few weeks after the July 1 deadline for reviewing the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) lapsed, and as Mexico has advanced further in talks with the U.S. administration than Canada.

Anand told reporters on July 17 that it was “very difficult” to compare the progress of U.S.-Mexico trade talks with those involving Canada because Ottawa and Mexico City are negotiating different issues with Washington.

“But the starting point for Canada is very much that with both the United States and Mexico, the trade and investment relationship is fundamentally important, and we are committed to protecting and strengthening those relationships, both bilaterally and trilaterally,” she said.

Following the two foreign ministers’ meeting in Ottawa, Anand announced that Canada would provide $12.1 million in funding for projects in Mexico and other Latin American countries.

When asked by a reporter if Mexico would be willing to make a bilateral deal with the United States that leaves Canada out, Velasco responded by shaking his head no. Continue…

MP, Activists Say Ottawa Must Help Stop Forced Repatriation of Canada-Bound Chinese Dissident Detained in Thailand

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/mp-activists-say-ottawa-must-help-stop-forced-repatriation-of-canada-bound-chinese-dissident-detained-in-thailand-6063917?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=section-1

NDP MP Jenny Kwan and democracy and human rights activists are urging Ottawa to step in to prevent the forced return of a UN-registered Chinese dissident who fled persecution by Beijing and was detained in Thailand in May, just ahead of her reportedly planned resettlement in Canada.

Zhang Xinyan was elected last year to the Toronto-based “Hong Kong Parliament,” established by Hong Kong democracy activists overseas in response to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) control of Hong Kong.

Zhang, who is a Falun Dafa practitioner, fled China to Thailand in 2014. Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is a spiritual meditation practice that is persecuted by China’s communist regime. Practitioners of the discipline in China are subjected to arbitrary arrests, torture, killings, and even live forced organ harvesting.

After Zhang was elected to the “Hong Kong Parliament” in 2025, Hong Kong police issued an arrest warrant for her and placed a HK$200,000 (US$25,000) bounty on her and other members of the Parliament, charging them under the notorious National Security Law. The law, enacted by the CCP in Hong Kong in 2020, has been used by authorities to arrest and imprison protesters and pro-democracy activists.

While in Thailand, Zhang obtained refugee status with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Toronto-area based Chinese democracy activist Sheng Xue says she helped send Zhang’s case to Global Affairs Canada last year, and Zhang was approved for resettlement in Canada. However, Thai authorities detained her in May, alleging that she had overstayed her visa.

Sheng, who is in touch with Zhang, says she was scheduled to fly from Bangkok to Vancouver on July 8, but was blocked from leaving. Continue…

A Century of Remembrance and Service: Royal Canadian Legion Marks 100 Years

The skirl of bagpipes has accompanied Canadian remembrance ceremonies for generations.

For Laurie Duncan, the sound is deeply personal—her grandfather played soldiers into battle during World War I. Today, she is helping celebrate the Royal Canadian Legion’s 100th anniversary as pipe major of a Legion Centennial Band.

As the Legion commemorates its own history—it was formally incorporated on July 17, 1926—it’s reflecting on a century of helping veterans while adapting to a rapidly changing Canada. It is also working to attract younger veterans and remain relevant to Canadians. Continue…

How Ontario First Nation escaped raging wildfire that burned down their community

Chief Helen Paavola was on a plane to Ottawa when the fire reached her community. She spent the morning calling for help and was told the smoke was coming from a wildfire that was still at a safe distance. Before long, the fire was on top of the community.

Namaygoosisagagun First Nation, also known as Collins, is north of Lake Nipigon. Its members got themselves out Monday in a handful of small boats.

The evacuation was done by them. There was no federal, provincial help. There was no other ministry or any entity or whatever you want to call it out there to help them. They did this on their own,” Paavola said.

“The bravery that they showed is incredible. And they deserve to have the recognition for their bravery.”

Every home is gone. Everyone in the community survived.

Paavola spoke to National Post by phone from Thunder Bay, where her community is now staying. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity and length.

How did you first hear about the fire? Continue…
