  • With China’s economy reeling from weak job growth, a real estate slump, falling investment, and shrinking exports, the CCP has leaned harder on national security and social order. That stance now extends to drug crime, but only selectively. Trafficking that harms Chinese citizens is met with unforgiving severity. But the country’s role as a major exporter of fentanyl precursors to North America is a revealing glimpse into what the CCP chooses to police and what it allows to pass.

    Essentially how every dictatorship operates – if it makes the gov’t money it’s fine, but if it damages or kills a citizen slave it’s bad for the country.




  • French President Emmanuel Macron spoke of wanting to recognize a Palestinian state as part of a ceasefire deal as recently as June.

    When comments like this coming from the French government, Oweida said, it’s surprising that France has succeeded in getting students out of Gaza while Canada has not.

    “I think it says volumes, even though we don’t really understand what is going on at the level of the Canadian government, but the observations that we’re seeing speak volumes and of themselves,” he said.

    “How could France, who’s been quite critical of Israel, evacuate?”

    … and, by extension, Canada not?

    sigh

    We’re doing absolutely nothing to help Palestinians.
