(Bloomberg) -- Canada is deploying what it calls an “aerial intelligence task force” as part of a new C$1.3 billion ($908 million) plan to address US President-elect Donald Trump’s concerns about migrants and fentanyl flowing across the northern border. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police will operate the task force, made up of helicopters, drones and mobile surveillance towers. It’s one of multiple measures unveiled by the Canadian government on Tuesday in an effort to avert Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs on all goods from the country unless it boosts border security. The announcement comes a day after the country’s finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, abruptly resigned, accusing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of failing to seriously prepare for a Trump presidency. She was replaced by Dominic LeBlanc, the public safety minister who released the border plan on Tuesday. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/2024/12/17/canada-expands-aerial-border-surveillance-to-pacify-trump/

Before President-elect Donald Trump could say "You're Fired!" - FBI Director Christopher Wray has resigned, and will leave his post at the end of President Joe Biden's term. Wray's decision comes weeks after Trump nominated Kash Patel as his replacement. Patel, a fierce critic of the FBI, has said he would seek to shrink the agency's power, close its Washington headquarters, fire its top ranks, and prosecute corrupt agents. While Wray's departure was always in the cards, the move comes two days after Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) wrote an 11-page letter to Wray asking him to step down, accusing him of mismanagement and "failure to take control of the FBI." https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fbi-director-chris-wray-resigns

Elon and Vivek cannot clean house soon enough: A bombshell probe into Tennessee’s Mountain Home VA Medical Center reveals a wild workplace culture, including a 12-person orgy and one employee who bedded 32 coworkers. Some of these activities occurred on VA hospital grounds, with participants bragging on government communication channels. The scandal breaks as Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency [DOGE] eyes federal waste. Talk about timing—while Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy prep their cost-cutting crusade on Capitol Hill, VA officials are resigning over sex romps. Trump’s VA pick, Doug Collins, might have more cleanup than cost-cutting ahead. Source: New York Post

Have fun with 'Net Zero', you Brit greenies . . . What Net Zero Means: Rationing, Blackouts and Travel Restrictions in the Next Five Years Earlier this week the Labour backbencher and Chairman of the U.K. Parliament’s Energy Committee Bill Esterson noted that ​people will have to adjust their habits to meet Net Zero emission goals for 2030. Such honesty, emerging as it does from the Parliament of Net Zero nodding donkeys, is to be applauded. What does it mean? Try this: * A 30% reduction in energy demand. After 2030, consider that all beef, lamb and dairy will be banned and “replaced by new diets”. * A massive 45% cut in most common building materials such as cement, along with a similar reduction in road freight traffic. * An attack on farming which will be remorseless with fertiliser restriction halving “direct emission” from the soil. To sum it all up: widespread rationing and blackouts along with food, holiday and travel restrictions, all within about 60 months.​ https://dailysceptic.org/2024/11/28/time-for-starmer-to-be-honest-about-what-net-zero-means-rationing-blackouts-and-travel-restrictions-in-the-next-five-years/
