#Canada must vote no to Iran !! @AnitaAnandMP
No joke: Tomorrow at 10 am, the U.N. plans to elect the Islamic regime of Iran to its main subsidiary organ shaping priorities on women's rights, counter-terrorism and peacekeeping. We urge all states who nominated Tehran — 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇪🇸🇳🇱🇳🇴🇫🇮🇨🇭🇦🇹🇦🇺🇨🇭— to reverse course and vote No.

Wow. CEO Roman Shimonov of Roshel just admitted he told the Carney Government months ago they were going to buy the Stellantis Brampton plant, the BNN host say then surprised why are they acting angry over the news? Guess what, that’s exactly what they are doing, ACTING as to not look bad to the 2000 workers out of a job. Our Government pretending to act surprised about all of this is a scandal. They knew full well what was going on.

Naheed Gilani @Etfs4all is the Vancouver based owner of Conscious Wealth, a Private Wealth Consulting company who provides financial advice in exchange for a fee. He holds a CFA certification with @cfavancouver. Naheed Gilani says “the end is coming” for Israelis being welcomed in Canada and wants to “stop applying tax laws to Jewish schools” within Canada including those for children. Naheed Gilani calls for the genocide of nearly 10 million Israelis in Israel writing “Israel does not deserve to exist” and that “Zionist must be eradicated.” Naheed Gilani dehumanizes Israelis stating “Zios are sick fucks” and that Israelis kill dogs despite Hamas being on camera shooting dogs in Israel on October 7th and killing them within Gaza. Naheed Gilani believes Israelis should be called “Judeo-Nazis”, has also referred to them as “rabid, filthy Zionist(s)”, and that “Jewish supremacists” in Canada are those who are “Christian killers” that are “running our country.” Naheed Gilani even calls himself an antisemite. As typically seen with many Pro-Palestine activists, Naheed Gilani refers to Canada as “KKKlanada”, has been seen using Communist slogans such as “No war, but class war” despite running a capitalist company that provides financial advice, and ACAB anti-police messaging. This is a Notice of Public Interest to the Israeli community of Vancouver regarding this radical activist who calls for the elimination of their country. Further, no Israeli or Jewish person is safe getting financial advice from Naheed Gilani’s company Conscious Wealth, and we would even go as far as saying this to anyone who disagrees with Naheed Gilani’s geopolitical views as their investments & personal information could be at risk.

FUCK TRUMP. WHAT THE FUCK ARE JOURNALISTS SUPPOSED TO TOLERATE NOW?! I think it’s time to respond with REAL ACTION. Trump is spitting in the face of democracy and journalism, and there needs to be a response. HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED AT THE WHITE HOUSE ON NOVEMBER 9, 2026. A journalist from MS NOW questioned Donald Trump about Vladimir Putin repeatedly ignoring his demands for a ceasefire and a direct meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. FROM THE OFFICIAL PRESS CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT: JOURNALIST: “Vladimir Putin, you have given Vladimir Putin multiple deadlines over the last 22 months to enter into a cease fire, but also to meet directly with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He has repeatedly ignored your demands…” TRUMP: “Has he been fighting us in the war?” Then Trump demanded to know which network the journalist represented. JOURNALIST: “With MS Now.” TRUMP: “I don’t want to take your question.” He then attacked the network’s ratings, called it fake, and moved on to another journalist. And THIS is what I want to say. EVERY SINGLE JOURNALIST IN THAT ROOM SHOULD HAVE STOOD UP AND WALKED OUT. Just stood up. And walked the fuck out. No arguments. No begging for another question. No sitting there pretending this is normal. Trump spits in the face of journalists, and journalists should be able to respond by refusing to sit there and accept that disrespect. WHY THE FUCK SHOULD YOU LISTEN TO SOMEONE WHO TREATS YOU LIKE SHIT?! Why should you remain in the same room with someone who openly humiliates your profession? And the most outrageous part? THE QUESTION WAS ABOUT PUTIN AND UKRAINE. About a Russian dictator who keeps ignoring Trump’s demands while Ukrainians continue to be killed. Instead of answering, the President of the United States attacks the journalist asking the question. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?! Let him stand there without an audience. Let him get pissed off because nobody wants to listen to his insults anymore. A president is supposed to answer questions, not demand obedience from the press. PRESS FREEDOM DOES NOT MEAN JOURNALISTS MUST QUIETLY ACCEPT HUMILIATION. And democratic accountability cannot exist when legitimate questions are dismissed with personal insults. FUCK TRUMP.

Esto es ALUCINANTE. Broncano, el conductor de un importante programa de izquierdas de la televisión pública española, ha entrevistado a @Santi_ABASCAL y sabe que no ha podido con él. Sabe, más aún, que ha sido un completo desastre. Observen el cierre del programa, que está contenido en este clip. Broncano está tan dominado por sus nervios que apenas consigue articular una frase sin tartamudear. Abascal, impasible, le deja que se pierda en un enredo en el que solo él ha decidido meterse. @davidbroncano se convierte en un conductor de televisión sin palabras: trastabilla en cada frase, no es capaz de completar una idea, simplemente porque no la tiene. Y, de golpe, se le cruza por la cabeza la idea más estúpida de todas: culpar a la tribuna. Así pues, la tribuna, visiblemente favorable a Abascal, con sus aplausos, es responsable de algo sumamente peligroso para la democracia española: legitimar ideas y argumentos de derechas. Porque, para cuidar la democracia, las tribunas deberían ser siempre de izquierdas, por supuesto. Homogeneidad ideológica, ante todo. El pluralismo político no alimenta la democracia, sino que la expone al advenimiento de los malos, los muy malos de @vox_es. Broncano no ha tenido problema alguno con la tribuna habitual, cuya tendencia irrefrenable es la de aplaudir a sus invitados de izquierdas y celebrar hasta las más estúpidas de sus declaraciones. Esa es una tribuna que garantiza el orden democrático. El inconveniente, en esta ocasión, surge del inédito hecho de permitir a los malos de Vox llevar a gente mala a la tribuna. Broncano se arrepiente en voz alta, y trata de justificar su propia idiotez con la excusa más idiota que, entre tartamudeo y tartamudeo, defecaron sus neuronas. Los argumentos son de antología. Broncano le reprocha a Abascal que los aplausos de la tribuna hacen parecer “como si hubiese un apoyo unánime de la población que tú sabes que no tienes”. ¿Desde cuándo sus tribunas fueron configuradas como reflejos representativos, en términos ideológicos, del conjunto de los españoles? ¿Acaso los aplausos de su público habitual a los invitados de izquierdas sí reflejan un apoyo unánime de la sociedad? ¿O es que la exigencia de representatividad solo aparece cuando los aplausos favorecen a la derecha? Pero también los hay morales: Broncano está a punto de decir que le da “miedo” (sí, esa era la palabra que quería escupir pero no podía pronunciar) que su programa haya legitimado la maldad. En efecto, todo salió bien para el malo de Abascal, y todo salió mal para el bueno de Broncano. Ya conocen ustedes cómo funciona la moralina progre. Ahora bien, el tristísimo espectáculo no termina ahí. Broncano no puede contener sus deseos de censurar algunas partes del programa, previsiblemente las más patéticas para su propia imagen y la de sus preferencias políticas. Y en lugar de reprimir sus ganas de reprimir ex post el diálogo, el muy tonto lo confiesa. Le dice a Abascal que van a tener que cortar parte del programa. Broncano, que se supone que es humorista, cierra su programa como si estuviera en un velorio, ante un Abascal que, dándose cuenta de todo, le hace notar que ha perdido la gracia. Y, lo que es mejor, se lo dice con una gracia de la que el propio Broncano se ha quedado desprovisto, coronando así una magistral inversión de papeles Así pues, tenemos a un conductor de televisión tartamudo; un cómico aburrido y sin un ápice de gracia; un demócrata al que le incomoda el pluralismo político; un moralista temeroso de los aplausos del público; y un entrevistador que, antes incluso de despedir a su invitado, ya está hablando de cortar su participación. Broncano, un desastre. Aplausos de pie para Abascal.

Ceding Ukrainian land for peace is just abstract words. It’s not only about reality, even more about philosophy. Putin was talking about Donbas, but then he decided to occupy Kyiv, our capital. His words were about Donbas, but the reality was about Kyiv. He kept saying he was defending Russian-speaking people and then tortured hundreds and thousands to death in Bucha and other places. So that wasn’t about Russian-speaking people. This is why when Americans asked, “Can you exchange Donbas for security?” I said right there, “Can you tell me what it means? What security? NATO?” “Not NATO, but similar to NATO.” “Similar? But you don't want the answer about Donbas to be ‘similar.’ You want a clear answer about Donbas. This is your goal. And this is Putin’s goal, for today. What will you do if we have security guarantees but not NATO?” They took our nuclear weapons. I'm not a fan of nuclear weapons. I think the world would be a better place without them. But the Russians took our nuclear weapons, didn’t they? They did. Then they stopped our integration into Europe, then prevented us from being in NATO. And in the end they occupied us. This is why it’s an abstract question. Nobody trusts Putin to stop if we leave Donbas. He will pause. Then he will come back in one year, two years, or five years. And who will be guilty? From an interview with DR Nyheder. (2/3)

The last diesel tanker which was still heading for US shores has turned around. So in summary, Trump's diesel deal with Putin caused no diesel to arrive in the US, didn't drop diesel prices, and caused his party to badly lose the US Midterms. The Art Of The Deal indeed. 📉💥

🔥Russians are panicking over Ukraine’s new refinery strike tactics. Drones reportedly switch targets mid-flight, and Trump can no longer simply pull the plug. The Russian Telegram channel *Дневник Разведчика* (Intelligence Officer’s Diary, 147,800 subscribers) describes a major shift in Ukraine’s long-range drone campaign following the strikes on Kstovo, Samara and Yaroslavl. Previously, Ukrainian drones were sent toward predetermined targets. If the first drones successfully hit a refinery unit, the rest continued toward the same target. Now, according to the Russian channel, Ukrainian operators can monitor strikes in real time and redirect incoming drones while they are still in flight. Once a primary distillation unit is hit, subsequent drones can be redirected toward storage tanks, cracking units, electrical substations or other critical equipment. Instead of concentrating an entire wave on one target, Ukraine can distribute the damage across multiple parts of the refinery. The Russians are describing something far more dangerous for their oil industry than simply larger drone attacks: the ability to adapt an entire strike while it is happening. The channel attributes this capability to Israeli HiSKY SmartLight satellite communications terminals, which it says Ukraine is using as an alternative to Starlink. It claims the terminals allow two-way communication over Russian territory, making it possible to adjust flight paths, identify air-defence positions and redirect drones around interception zones. And then comes the most revealing part. The Russian channel argues that American restrictions on Starlink have backfired spectacularly. Its conclusion: "Trump has simply lost his leverage over Kyiv’s long-range strikes." And: "Ukraine has slipped off the American leash and found a commercial alternative that the White House cannot switch off with a phone call." That is coming from a Russian military channel, not Ukrainian propaganda. Moscow is now discussing a scenario in which Ukraine can strike multiple critical refinery units in a single operation, adapt to Russian air defences in real time and continue its campaign without depending on American-controlled communications. Putin has been trying to get Trump to restrain Ukraine’s refinery strikes. Now Russian military commentators are warning that even American pressure may no longer be enough. The irony is extraordinary. Washington reportedly tried to limit Ukraine’s options. The Russians are now complaining that Ukraine has found a way around those limits. The HiSKY deployment, electronic-warfare resistance and real-time retargeting capabilities are claims made by the Russian channel, not independently established technical facts. The attribution in the draft matters, especially for the claims about Trump’s leverage.

ARE YOU FUCKING OUT OF YOUR MINDS?! According to a report attributed to The Economist, the United States has proposed changing the administrative boundaries of Ukrainian regions to allow Putin to declare that Russia has achieved its territorial objectives — without Ukraine having to surrender cities it still controls. The reported proposals also include potentially allowing Russia to return to European energy markets. Meanwhile, Russia continues demanding Ukrainian neutrality, restrictions on Ukraine’s armed forces, and opposition to multinational security forces being stationed in Ukraine. Washington is reportedly considering security arrangements resembling NATO’s Articles 4 or 5, but questions remain about how reliable those guarantees would be. SO LET ME GET THIS FUCKING STRAIGHT. You’re discussing ways to let Putin declare victory, potentially restore Russia’s access to European energy markets, and negotiate Ukraine’s future while Russia continues attacking and killing Ukrainians?! I MEAN, EXCUSE THE FUCK OUT OF ME, BUT HAVE YOU COMPLETELY LOST YOUR FUCKING MINDS?! I understand that you’re playing your little games with Trump, but you’re doing it in front of the entire world, while dealing with RUSSIA — OUR TORTURER, OUR RAPIST, OUR ABUSER, OUR FUCKING MURDERER! DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND THAT?! Imagine if Britain or France came to the United States and decided to take a few states back, along with the people living there, simply because those territories had once been under their control. WOULD YOU FUCKING CONSIDER THAT NORMAL?! THIS IS NOT A FUCKING QUESTION OF TERRITORY. THIS IS A QUESTION OF PROTECTION. Protection so Russia can no longer go BOOM! BOOM! with missiles against us. So Russian occupiers can no longer come and STAB! STAB! us with knives when they occupy our homes. RUSSIA IS FUCKING KILLING US! WHAT THE FUCK IS SO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND?! Russia’s violence and imperial domination of Ukrainians did not begin yesterday. This history stretches back to the Russian Empire. And now Putin and Trump are treating Ukraine’s future as another game of political egos. Instead of inventing ways to reward the aggressor, how about a plan to dismantle Russia’s imperial system and free people from its oppression?! Because apparently, you people are such FUCKING HUMANITARIANS. UKRAINIANS ARE HUMAN BEINGS. OUR LIVES ARE NOT YOUR FUCKING NEGOTIATING CHIPS. #Ukraine #RussiaIsTheAggressor #UkrainianSovereignty #StopRussianTerror #HumanRights

Minuto de oro en La Revuelta: Abascal le da el zasca de su vida a Broncano, que tendrá que buscar trabajo el 30N. Lo tiene crudo, porque ha demostrado que no sirve como entrevistador serio ni como payaso. @Santi_ABASCAL ha justificado los 70 escaños que le dan las encuestas.

🇨🇦 The Billionaire Who Loved Flying With Canada's Prime Minister Met the head of a luxury in-flight catering company at a hotel in Toronto. I asked him whether the airline catering business was profitable. He smiled. “Depends who’s flying.” I said, “Business class passengers?” He laughed. “Think bigger.” “Private jets?” “Bigger.” “Billionaires?” He shook his head. “Politicians.” I was confused. He pulled out his phone and showed me a government spending report. “Between March 2025 and March 2026, flights carrying Prime Minister Mark Carney and his entourage recorded nearly $963,000 in catering costs.” I nearly spilled my coffee. “NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS? FOR AIRPLANE CATERING?” He nodded. “That’s the reported bill.” I asked what they were eating. He showed me menus reported from one international trip. Beef tenderloin. Truffle risotto. Veal escalope. Salmon. Crème brûlée. Chocolate mousse. I stared at him. “Are they flying Air Canada or operating a Michelin-starred restaurant at 35,000 feet?” He laughed. I pulled out Canada’s 2026 Food Price Report. “An average family of four is expected to spend $17,572 on food this year.” He nodded. “So?” “That $963,000 catering bill is equivalent to the annual food budget of almost 55 Canadian families.”📌 “Interesting comparison.” “That’s 220 people eating for an entire year!” He ordered another espresso. I asked how airplane catering could possibly cost so much. “You’re not just paying for the food. There’s handling, delivery, storage, security, airport charges, waste disposal and other costs.” “So it’s not just the Prime Minister’s personal dinner?” “Of course not. These are delegation-wide expenses.” Fair enough. But then I asked the question that bothered me. “Shouldn’t a government constantly asking Canadians to be patient about affordability demonstrate restraint with public money?” He put down his cup. “That’s a question for the people approving the spending.” The next morning, I watched another speech about building a more affordable Canada. Then I checked my grocery receipt. $94. Two bags. No truffle risotto. No crème brûlée. Not even complimentary peanuts. And suddenly, I remembered something. Ordinary Canadians are calculating whether they can afford beef this week. Ottawa is being asked to explain six-figure catering bills on official flights. One family is comparing prices at No Frills. The other is representing Canada at 35,000 feet. I always thought the most expensive meal in Canada was at a luxury restaurant. Apparently, some of the most interesting restaurant bills arrive without the restaurant. And the customer paying the bill never even gets a seat at the table. 🇨🇦

@NYPDnews @NYPDChiefPatrol @NYPD17Pct @NYPDPC @CCRB_NYC Well, that's 16 minutes and twenty-two seconds of our lives we're never getting back. As a former law enforcement officer in New York City (NYS Tax Enforcement police officer), I can tell you I believe that was clearly an illegal stop. IMO, there was no "reasonable suspicion" here. I believe she was illegally detained, unlawfully touched, which constitutes use of force as a matter of the police use-of-force-continuum, and unreasonably separated from her dog without cause, which clearly caused her anxiety and emotional distress that made her get upset. It apparently takes the officer fifteen whole mintutes to figure out that jaywalking was DECRIMINALIZED in 2025. He can't then lawfully cite her for disorderly conduct if her conduct (her reaction to--and protest of-- the injustice of being illegally stopped and harassed over walking her dog) was actually caused by his illegal stop in the first place under the 'fruit of the poisonous tree' doctrine. So, no matter what you see on the video as far as him issuing a tickey, he's got nothing on her and was just trying to cover his ass. She said she has a law degree, so she probably already knows she probably has a Federal cause of action under 'Bivens' to sue the officers personally alleging violation of her 1st & 4th Amendment rights. Furthermore, they knew they were being filmed and the video would likely be released yet allowed the stop to go on for more than 16 minutes instead of dropping this and allowing her to continue on her way unobstructed, arguably causing her shame, ridicule, reputational harm, and/or public embarrassment, which give rise to a state civil tort claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress. My Masters Degree from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in NYC tells me this was not legitimate policing. It appears the Dynamic Islamic Duo let their misogynistic, anti-dog culture override an American citizen's civil rights and protections under the US Constitution, specifically the Bill of Rights. As much as I back the blue in most cases, and give them the benefit of the doubt until the courts rule, I am calling this "conduct unbecoming of a New York City police officer," which warrants immediate suspension and possible removal from the force for abuse of power. Citizens must not tolerate this wanton abuse and harassment grounded in apparent religious discrimination. Speak out loud and clear, America! DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer and this should not be construed as legal advice. I just play one on @X.

Two Muslim cops in New York stopped a nurse for no apparent reason other than that she was walking her dog. They cornered her and threatened to seize her dog. When confronted, they got angry and couldn’t say what law she had broken. This is what happens when you give these people power. All I can say is that she was lucky there were passersby, because it was 3 AM and things could’ve ended much worse.
