Mid-Week Post

Your middle-of-the-week traipse through logic ...



It took months of planning and an iron-clad sudden decision but the forty-seven year old regime that plagued a major player is no more:

It’s gone almost without saying for most of our lives, or at least most of our adult lives for those of us who are more seasoned citizens, that Iran was an imminent threat to American national interests. But if you’re unimpressed by that fairly obvious fact, then there’s this — now that we’ve hit Iran and taken out Khamenei, the defense minister, the head of the country’s judiciary (he signed off on the slaughter of some 30,000 or more political dissidents over the past few weeks), the head of the Revolutionary Guard Corps and a host of others, it’s pretty damned obvious that what’s left of that regime is an imminent threat now.

Including who-knows how many Iranian assets are sitting inside our country right now, waiting to cause mayhem. Or somewhere else where they can attack American interests.




As of this writing, Ali Khamenei and forty-nine of his underlings are dead.



Canada is appalled - APPALLED! - that Trump did not see Canada trustworthy enough to explain the operation beforehand:


It's like trusting Canada is counter-productive:

After a whirlwind few days that saw much of Iran’s line of succession killed in U.S. and Israeli air strikes, a surviving official poised to fill the leadership vacuum happens to have Canadian family connections.

Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, is widely reported as being one of the most powerful surviving members of the Iranian ruling elite following the Saturday assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

He’s one of five Larijani brothers who have served in top posts in the Iranian hierarchy. “The Larijani family is at the head of the Iranian state,” reads a 2016 CSIS analysis.

And at least two of those brothers have spent significant amounts of time on Canadian soil, and allegedly still have Canadian family.

One brother, Fazel Larijani, served as a cultural affairs attaché at Ottawa’s Iranian embassy before Canada severed diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic in 2012.

Larijani would end up attached to a Toronto building that once operated as the Centre for Iranian Studies, and would end up being caught in a Canadian government freeze of Iranian assets in 2012. The building was owned by Farhangeiran Inc., which listed Fazel as president.

Iranian-Canadian activists have alleged that members of Fazel’s family remain resident in Canada.

Canadian taxpayer money intended for humanitarian aid in Gaza was allegedly diverted and exploited by the terrorist group Hamas, according to a shocking new report. The allegations are based on secret Hamas documents recovered by the Israeli military.

The documents originated with the Gaza Interior Security Mechanism, a unit within Hamas’ Ministry of Interior and National Security. This unit is responsible for internal surveillance, counter-intelligence operations, policing political dissent, border oversight, civil defence, enforcement of Islamic law and the administration of detainees in Gaza.

 




Prime Minister Mark Carney and Cameco president Tim Gitzel shared centre stage in Delhi yesterday as the Saskatoon-based uranium producer signed a multibillion-dollar contract with the Indian government, a deal that was brokered by the prime minister.

Carney is man of principle and action - according to him:

Most Canadians questioned in federal focus groups predict the country will fall into recession. The Privy Council had researchers poll the public on fears of rising unemployment and whether Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government was “headed in the right direction.”



It’s an April Fool’s Day tradition. MPs give themselves pay raises every year on April 1 under the Parliament of Canada Act.

But this year, an Oakville, Ont., business and economics teacher has written the parliamentarians — each one of them copied in a group email — to urge them not to take the raise.

“I am writing to ask that you voluntarily forgo this increase, in solidarity with the millions of Canadians currently facing financial hardship,” writes David Suchanek in an email shared with National Post.

“MP Mike Dawson has already set the standard by refusing his hike, proving that true leadership is about more than just optics, it’s about fiscal responsibility and accountability. While some dismiss the $5 million total as a small figure, I see it as a vital test of character for our elected officials.”

Dawson is a small business owner and new Conservative MP from New Brunswick, who represents Miramichi—Grand Lake. In a letter provided to National Post, Dawson told the clerk of the House of Commons on Feb. 10 that he wouldn’t be taking the raise, criticizing it as “distasteful.”

He said the raise is unseemly “when everyday Canadians are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living,” and said he “cannot in good conscience accept the pay increase of nearly $10,000, which every Member of Parliament is set to receive.”




In Canada, there are no property rights but there are new court-appointed landlords:



We don't have to trade with China:

A Chinese-language website named in federal documents at Canada’s Foreign Interference Commission — in connection with a disinformation campaign that targeted Conservative MP Kenny Chiu in the days before the 2021 federal election — has published an anonymous op-ed circulating speculation that Prime Minister Mark Carney is preparing to appoint floor-crossing MP Michael Ma as Canada’s next ambassador to China.

The piece appears on info.51.ca, a Chinese-language community platform largely aimed at readers in Markham and Scarborough. Federal documents tabled before Justice Marie-Josée Hogue’s Foreign Interference Commission identify a WeChat account called “CouponKing51ca” — with the relationship between that account and the broader 51.ca news site and its 602,000-subscriber WeChat account explicitly flagged — as one node in an amplification chain that attacked Conservative leader Erin O’Toole while spreading false narratives about MP Kenny Chiu’s foreign agents registry bill before the September 20, 2021 vote.

Those federal documents tied the disinformation campaign’s origins to Toronto-area media accounts connected to Beijing’s United Front Work Department.

The unsigned op-ed, dated February 25, 2026, argues that appointing Ma — the MP for Markham-Unionville who crossed from the Conservative Party to Mark Carney’s Liberals in December 2025 — would constitute an institutionalized reward for his floor crossing, a “dirty behind-the-scenes political deal” that would trigger a by-election in his riding and signal the imminent launch of a general election campaign.

In making its argument, the article invokes as precedent the case of John McCallum, the longtime Liberal MP who represented the neighbouring riding of Markham-Thornhill before resigning his seat in January 2017 when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed him Canada’s ambassador to China.

That appointment vacated a safe Liberal seat in a majority Chinese-Canadian riding — and Trudeau moved swiftly to fill it, parachuting his own director of appointments from the Prime Minister’s Office, Mary Ng, into the resulting April 3, 2017 by-election. Ng — a Hong Kong-born Trudeau insider — won with just over 51 per cent of the vote.

She went on to serve as Canada’s Minister of Small Business and Export Promotion, and later Minister of International Trade, for seven years, before not seeking re-election in 2025. The McCallum appointment, in other words, did not merely fill a diplomatic post — it simultaneously engineered a parliamentary succession, inserting a senior PMO operative into a safe seat in one of the country’s most strategically significant diaspora communities.

What the 51.ca article does not mention is how the McCallum ambassadorship ended. McCallum was fired by Trudeau in January 2019 after appearing before Chinese-language media in Markham — the same community the 51.ca piece is now addressing — to publicly argue that Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou had strong legal grounds to resist extradition to the United States, a position that aligned with Beijing’s own at a moment of acute Canada-China tension.

The piece purports to weigh arguments for and against the speculated Ma appointment, cautioning that it would reinforce perceptions of political transactionalism, and send ambiguous signals to Beijing.

But in a section cataloguing Ma’s potential advantages and disadvantages as a diplomat, the piece simultaneously acknowledges that his Chinese-Canadian heritage could improve “symbolic aspects of cultural communication” — then undercuts the point by explaining that Beijing “places greater emphasis on decision-making power and institutional signals than on ethnic symbols.”

Was it something they said?:

Zhu, according to Canadian court statements, told a co-conspirator in an earlier theft of U.S. intellectual property that these efforts would help "defeat the American aggressor and wild ambitious wolf!" "The law is strong," he added at the time, "but the outlaws are ten times stronger."

These statements were included in the Las Vegas Declaration of Arrest Report. As a recent analysis states, "the declaration reveals, for the first time, the full scope of what U.S. investigators believe they are dealing with: not merely a rogue lab operator, but a PRC-trained biologist with state-linked corporate ties, a proven history of stealing American technology for Beijing's benefit, and language that investigators now treat as evidence of ideological motivation."

As Weichert said of the Reedley lab two years ago, "It is, I believe, a part of a large Chinese military operation to spread disease throughout the American population."

He is undoubtedly correct. A quarter century ago, General Chi Haotian, China's defense minister and vice chairman of the Party's Central Military Commission, reportedly gave a secret speech advocating the extermination of Americans. "It is indeed brutal to kill one or two hundred million Americans," he said. "But that is the only path that will secure a Chinese century, a century in which the Communist Party leads the world."

Chi's plan was to use disease for this purpose.

Canadian Investigators have discovered that the monks and nuns have come to P.E.I through Canada's "Provincial Nominee Program," which was created, allegedly, to bring talented, specialty workers to Canada.

Here is a list of workers that P.E.I is currently looking for. Most of the offerings seem to be for fairly unskilled laborers. I don't see a calling for Chinese monks and nuns.

The monks of P.E.I. have set up a mafia-like web of shady corporations, so following their chicanery hasn't been easy.  

Foreigners are allowed to own no more than five acres of Canadian soil per person, but the monks and nuns of Bliss and Wisdom have, despite their vow of poverty, thus far accumulated 17,000 acres of the island and about $500 million in assets. The aforementioned authors allege that the monks and nuns are purchasing and/or building enough housing on P.E.I. to house thousands more people.

Chinese "investors" have also been buying Canadian farmland for years, to the point that the Canadian government has taken notice or is at least pretending to.
