There are a great many things that the current US administration is doing that don't seem to make any sense.

FAFO time for Auntie Beeb...
Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against the BBC over its editing of a speech he made to supporters in Washington before they stormed the US Capitol in 2021, requesting up to $10bn in damages.
The US president alleged the broadcaster “intentionally, maliciously, and deceptively” edited his 6 January speech before the insurrection, in an episode of Panorama just over a year ago.
In a complaint filed on Monday evening, Trump sought $5bn in damages each on two counts: alleging that the BBC defamed him, and that they violated Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
The Panorama edit, taken from sections of his speech almost an hour apart, suggested Trump told the crowd: “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be there with you, and we fight. We fight like hell.”
The BBC did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit. It has previously acknowledged the editing was an “error of judgment” and apologized to Trump, but insisted there was no legal basis for a claim.

Meanwhile, in Canada, politicians won't even touch restoring 24 Sussex Dr for fear of the optics.

Doesn't have to make sense with this Administration.
Obviously this is support for Russia (Russian potash designated as Belarus). There is got to be undisclosed money make with this deal.

Dishonest media has done the most damage to the West. I hope the BBC takes a massive hit for that.

It always was. The WH and its property is easier to secure than a hotel or convention centre, and they're unsatisfied with using tents on the property.

We do the same. There has to be a real and substantial connection. In this case the plaintiff resides in Florida, claims he suffered financial, reputational and material damages in Florida, the BBC is carried on Florida networks and is accessible on the internet from Florida, Trump did not enter UK jurisdiction at any time during the activities complained of. More generally the civil US Courts in Florida (like courts in Ontario) often assert jurisdiction over matters regardless of where the parties might reside as long as there is a real and substantial connection and prima facie, there appears to be just that. Second, no court in the world other than a US court has jurisdiction over the domestic activities of the head of state of another country. In the same regard, no court other than a Canadian court has jurisdiction over the office of the executive branch of Canada.
On the other hand, it is a very high bar to argue another alternative forum is available: Forum Non Conveniens – When Our Courts Pass The Buck - Kornfeld LLP
Courts usually do not like to pass the buck, especially to a jurisdiction of foreign law that might disfavour the plaintiff.

Honestly, I think Pierre did the right thing by offering to Trudeau to agree to hear about tearing the place down and rebuilding it with a reasonable budget appropriate for a Prime Ministers home station. No idea why that did not proceed other than costs and fear of public backlash. The security costs for constructing such a building - in effect a facility - would be both enormous and necessary. Perhaps 24 Sussex property and area is no longer an appropriate or secure location???
Carney needs to open that line of discussion, it’s a relatively easy one. (Expensive but it has to be done). Likely a $500,000,000 project.

I've always maintained that the leader of the opposition should be in charge of 24 Sussex.
They want to live there eventually so they want it to be maintained, and if they have the PM living in a run down shack it looks bad on them

A lengthy article on how the FBI’s counterintelligence branch was rebuilt post 9/11 but is now being redirected to immigration and street crime by Kash Patel. The same guy to got FBI tactical teams to provide bodyguard services (which they’re not trained for) to his girlfriend.

The FBI Spent a Generation Relearning How to Catch Spies. Then Came Kash Patel.
As China’s spies grow more aggressive, the FBI is distracted and off-balance.

A quick about face.
Coast Guard reverses course on policy to call swastikas and nooses 'potentially divisive'
The U.S. Coast Guard has released a new, firmer policy addressing the display of hate symbols like swastikas and nooses just hours after it was publicly revealed that it made plans to describe them as “potentially divisive” — a term that prompted outcry from lawmakers and advocates.
And now it's a full 360, wow.
