In the new year, leaders of nations in Asia, Europe and North America have traveled to China to discuss reinforcing bilateral ties and expanding pragmatic cooperation, and countries such as Finland have confirmed or planned visits to China by their leaders in the near future.Observers said one major reason behind the visits is that Beijing projects great predictability and consistency in its domestic and foreign policy, signaling tangible and continued mutual benefit in a world plagued by soaring geopolitical tensions, unilateralism and hegemony.The next guest will be Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo, who is scheduled to make a four-day official visit to China starting on Sunday.The first head of state and the first foreign minister that Beijing received in 2026 both came from neighboring countries — Republic of Korea President Lee Jae-myung and Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar.After President Xi Jinping's meeting with Lee on Jan 5, the two heads of state jointly witnessed the signing of 15 cooperation documents covering fields including scientific and technological innovation, the environment, transportation and trade.The official visit by Taoiseach of Ireland Micheal Martin, from Jan 4-8, was the first by an Irish prime minister in 14 years, giving fresh momentum to both bilateral and China-EU ties.Last week, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made an official visit to China, and the two sides issued a joint statement of the China-Canada leaders' meeting, vowing to advance outcomes in areas including trade, energy, public security, culture and multilateralism.As reported by the Canadian newspaper Toronto Sun, Melanie Joly, Canada's industry minister, told reporters in Beijing that "the conversations here have been more predictable and stable than sometimes with other countries, including our neighbor".Recently, media outlets in Britain and Germany have reported that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz may visit China later this year.The visits to China have helped nations, and will help more countries, improve their perception of China and rediscover the vast potential of the Chinese market, experts said.Vice-Foreign Minister Sun Weidong told a symposium on Monday that this year marks the first year of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period and that China "will further step up its high-level opening-up".Wang Huiyao, president of the Beijing-based Center for China and Globalization, said the visits to China took place as unilateral bullying practices "have sparked widespread concern in the international community", and "the momentum of unilateralism is on the rise in transatlantic relations".Taking Canada as an example, Wang said the rebound in China-Canada relations "is both a testament to the strategic wisdom of both sides and a natural choice that aligns with public opinion and market realities".Gao Fei, president of China Foreign Affairs University, said countries clearly know who are serving as stabilizers in this volatile world, and "China is the most predictable one among the major countries".As many countries speak positively of China's role in peace, stability and growth, some of their leaders visited in the new year to learn more about China's wisdom and solutions, he added.As part of efforts by working teams from China and these countries to realize the leaders' fresh consensus, Chinese and ROK officials on Monday kicked off the 13th round of follow-up negotiations on services and investment under the China-ROK Free Trade Agreement.Wang Junsheng, a researcher on Northeast Asia studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' National Institute of International Strategy, noted that as the global economy remains sluggish and trade protectionism prevails, countries such as the ROK are grappling with challenges like tariff wars."In this context, maintaining stable economic and trade cooperation with China is crucial for the ROK's economic growth," Wang said."The global industrial supply chain is being disrupted by trade protectionism, so stable cooperation between the ROK and China in supply chain-related sectors is also of the utmost importance," he added.

Lawsuit filings reported by the Toronto Sun allege that Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused and trafficked girls as young as 11 and 13, expanding the known scope of his crimes far beyond previously documented accounts. The complaint describes a pattern in which Epstein and his associates targeted extremely vulnerable children, luring them with promises of help or opportunity before coercing them into sexual acts. According to the suit, the trafficked minors were moved through Epstein's network of homes and transportation assets, including private aircraft, and were subjected to repeated exploitation across multiple jurisdictions.The complaint further asserts that Epstein's wealth and connections allowed this system to operate for years without intervention, even as the alleged abuse spanned state and international borders. The new accusations challenge earlier assumptions about the age range of Epstein's victims and deepen questions about how such a network remained intact despite prior investigations and public scrutiny. If the allegations are validated in court, they would represent some of the most disturbing claims ever tied to Epstein's operation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

As Parliament prepares to resume, a Radio-Canada report says pipelines are nowhere on the Carney cabinet's agenda. That puts Ottawa at odds with Alberta and Saskatchewan, where Premiers Danielle Smith and Scott Moe have been clear: if the federal government wants energy projects to move forward, it must repeal or rewrite C-69, lift the West Coast tanker ban, and scrap the emissions cap. Guest host Kris Sims is joined by Toronto Sun columnist Brian Lilley to break down the politics and the math. Lilley explains why companies won't propose major projects under today's rules — pointing to regulatory uncertainty and past cancellations like Northern Gateway and Energy East — and warns shelving pipelines now would inflame Western alienation and damage national unity. They also dig into the economics: stalled investment, lost revenue, and Canada's widening GDP-per-capita gap with the U.S. Lilley argues predictable rules — not pauses and reviews — are what industry needs across oil and gas, autos, steel and telecom. Finally, the show tackles youth unemployment and immigration policy. After Doug Ford suggested young people should “look harder” for work, Lilley notes Ontario's youth jobless rate is elevated and entry-level markets are squeezed by the temporary foreign worker stream, expanded work rights for international students, and rapid inflows of work-eligible newcomers.

On this Labour Day episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims pulls back the curtain on the noisy rhetoric that dominates this holiday. While union bosses lead parades and issue warnings that government services will be “cut to the bone,” Canadians deserve to hear the truth about who really represents workers. Kris explains the key difference between trade unions—the carpenters, boilermakers, and plumbers who work with their hands—and government unions like PSAC, which represent bureaucrats inside Ottawa. Trade unions fight for the people who build and fix things. Government unions fight for bigger bureaucracies, higher taxes, and more members on the payroll. Canadians are already paying a steep price. According to calculations highlighted by the Fraser Institute, the average worker loses more than 40 percent of their paycheque to taxes. That means less money for families to buy food, pay rent, or save for the future—while Ottawa keeps growing larger. Since 2015, the federal bureaucracy has ballooned by nearly 100,000 positions, yet services like passports and immigration processing have only gotten worse. Joining Kris is Brian Lilley, political columnist at the Toronto Sun and host of the Full Comment podcast. Brian has spent decades covering politics in Ottawa and Queen's Park. He explains why skilled trades are shifting away from the NDP and toward the Conservatives, what's really going on with Mark Carney's so-called budget “cuts,” and how government departments use scare tactics—threatening to close libraries, parks, or even the RCMP Musical Ride—to block meaningful restraint. The two also discuss how the CBC continues to dodge accountability—refusing to disclose how much taxpayer money is spent on advertising, and hiding how many Canadians actually subscribe to its Gem streaming app. Brian shares his insights on why CBC stonewalls access-to-information requests and how its management culture differs from standard newsrooms.

Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert are joined by Toronto Sun's Rob Longley to chat about the moral boost coming off a successful return to the mound for Shane Bieber and his new teammates around him, how a ride of good outings from the former Cy Young Award winner could shape the Blue Jays' playoff starters, what is the top concern for John Schneider's club to sharpen before October, Daulton Varsho's batting power, and where we could expect Anthony Santander slot back in once he's healthy. Then, host of the No Challenges Remaining Podcast Ben Rothenberg stops by to discuss the mayhem during Benjamin Bonzi vs. Daniil Medvedev's match, the challenging task playing in New York's environment, if Carlos Alcaraz's new 'haircut' can give him a boost during this tournament, how much stock he'd buy on Ben Shelton, and Victoria Mboko's early exit following a successful National Bank Open.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

Carolyn Adriano died from an accidental drug overdose in May of this year, but in reality it was Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein's abuse that led to her death. After suffering years of abuse at the hands of Maxwell and Epstein, Carolyn was "aged out" because she hit the age of 18 and from there things continued to spiral. Experiencing trauma can have profound and lasting effects on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. Some people who suffer trauma turn to drugs as a coping mechanism, seeking relief from the intense psychological pain and distress that trauma can bring. This summary explores the complex relationship between trauma and substance abuse, shedding light on the factors that drive individuals to self-medicate with drugs.Trauma, whether caused by violence, accidents, natural disasters, or other distressing events, can lead to feelings of helplessness, anxiety, depression, and flashbacks. These emotional responses can be overwhelming, and some individuals may resort to substance abuse as a way to numb their pain and temporarily escape from the traumatic memories.Several key factors contribute to the connection between trauma and drug use:Emotional Relief: Drugs like alcohol, opioids, or stimulants can temporarily alleviate feelings of sadness, fear, and anxiety. Individuals may use drugs to experience emotional relief, even if it's temporary.Self-Medication: Some people turn to drugs as a form of self-medication to cope with their symptoms. They may not have access to or awareness of healthier coping strategies, such as therapy or support groups.Escapism: The effects of certain drugs can create a sense of detachment from reality, allowing those who have experienced trauma to temporarily escape from painful memories and emotions.Peer Pressure: Social environments where drug use is prevalent can encourage individuals to try substances, especially if they are already struggling with the aftermath of trauma. This can lead to a cycle of drug abuse as a means of fitting in or seeking connection.Biological Factors: Trauma can affect brain chemistry and increase the vulnerability to addiction. It can lead to changes in the reward system of the brain, making individuals more susceptible to substance abuse.Risk of Re-traumatization: Engaging in risky behaviors associated with substance abuse can increase the risk of re-traumatization, perpetuating a cycle of trauma and addiction.(commercial at 7:53)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking victim OD'd but really it was murder | Toronto Sun

Today, we're looking at Ron MacLean's latest betrayal of Canadian icon and former Coach's Corner cohost, Don Cherry. MacLean, still with CBC, asserted that Cherry's controversial “you people” rant was an exit strategy for the longtime hockey broadcaster — leading Cherry to refute the claim in an interview with the Toronto Sun's Joe Warmington. Plus, late last week Mark Carney's lengthy list of conflicts of interest was unveiled, with the prime minister having to recuse himself in business connected to over 100 companies. And finally, a new report is shining light on the Liberals' concerns that law-abiding firearms owners will not respect the government's efforts at gun grabbing.

Elliot and Olivia are shocked to learn that not only have Cassandra and Doug been running a con on the unsuspecting victim, they're actually twins committing - as Stabler calls it - "twincest."We're looking at SVU season 12 episode 19 "Bombshell."
