AGAR: Judges and government going soft on criminals and safety
Canada is soft on violent crime.
That is not to say that the average Canadian wrings their hands over the plight of the criminal. But the courts do.
BUNKER BUSTED: David Frum Claims ‘Trump Always Chickens Out’ Hours Before Iran Strike
Talk about getting Jim Cramered. The Atlantic’s pompous loudmouth of a staff writer David Frum committed an unforced error by publicly showcasing how he literally knows nothing about the Trump Doctrine on military strategy or foreign policy.
Frum attempted to make it seem like Iran had President Trump’s number in a June 21 screed published at 9:00 am ET, “The mullahs of Iran join the bet that Trump always chickens out.”

How two Toronto ridings spelled the end for Justin Trudeau
It was one year ago this week that the unravelling began for Justin Trudeau’s time at the top of the Liberal party — and it is a story that started and ended in two side-by-side ridings in the heart of downtown Toronto.
Tuesday marks the anniversary of the byelection in Toronto—St. Paul’s, a riding that had been held by the Liberals since 1993, and from 1997 on, through five leaders and all the ups and downs for the party, the seat belonged to Carolyn Bennett.
Home Office worker who granted asylum applications in return for cash bungs of up to £3,500 is jailed for more than four years
A Home Office worker who cold-called asylum seekers and offered to grant their UK asylum applications in return for cash has been jailed.
Imran Mulla, 39, can be pictured for the first time by MailOnline today after he was sentenced to four-and-a-half-years in prison for taking a £3,500 bung from a Bangladeshi man.
Mulla, from Blackburn, Lancashire, telephoned asylum seekers who would likely lose their cases and told them he could help get their rejection overturned in return for cash.
‘Sales have stopped’: Ontario developers predict layoffs if cost to build doesn’t fall
A developer lobby group is renewing calls to introduce tax cuts for new projects as housing starts continue to slow, warning that if something doesn’t change, tens of thousands of jobs could be at risk.
On Monday, the Building Industry and Land Development Association released a brief calculation considering how far new home construction could fall and how many jobs could be lost if the sale of new homes remains low.

The Great Unknown About the Damage to Iran’s Nuclear Facilities
Seven B-2 Spirit Stealth bombers dropped 14 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordinance Penetrator (MOP) bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites. All 14 bombs hit their target.
However, since most of the primary targets were underground, it’s unknown how badly the Iranian nuclear program was crippled.
Canadian politicians are using real crises to abuse their power
Prime Minister Mark Carney, along with several provincial premiers, have made the claim that conditions of “urgency,” “necessity” and “unprecedented crisis” justify initiating legislative grants of sweeping discretionary powers to the government to act in times of emergency.
U.S. threats to Canadian sovereignty and chaotic tariffs have been layered onto existing crises of economic insecurity, the housing crisis and the climate emergency — all of which have been harnessed by political leaders to rationalize exceptional treatment for priority infrastructure projects.
Nolte: Most Movie Theater Execs Believe Moviegoing will Die Within 20 Years
A survey of 246 “cinema owners and film professionals affiliated with exhibitors” found that more than half believe the “traditional cinema experience” will be dead as a viable business model within 20 years.
“Among other findings in the poll, nearly 90% of U.S. exhibition executives stated that their revenue has not recovered to pre-COVID levels,” reports the far-left Variety. “An overwhelming majority of them, 81%, also want an exclusive theatrical window on new releases lasting at least six weeks, while 77% believe that day-and-date streaming releases have a negative impact on the theatrical model.”
Canada and E.U. Pull Together as America Pushes Them Away
Canada signed a defense partnership with the European Union on Monday, the latest indication that two of America’s closest allies are deepening their military cooperation as President Trump pulls away and promises to reduce the United States’ role in international security.
Mr. Trump has been pushing for other countries in NATO — which includes Canada and most European Union nations — to invest far more in their militaries, accusing them of relying too much on the United States.
He has called into question America’s commitment to defending some NATO members and has launched a trade war against some of the closest traditional allies of the United States.
Trump is smart to ditch these parasites.
The EU consists of corrupt, preening authoritarians bleating about democratic ideals while lining their pockets.
Carney’s kind of people.

Why Russia Is Giving Iran the Cold Shoulder After Israel Attack
At the start of the year, Russian President Vladimir Putin met his Iranian counterpart at the Kremlin to sign a new strategic partnership to seal the budding alliance between the two countries that had spent the last decade trying to undermine the U.S.-led world order.
Now, after more than a week of punishing Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, that partnership is doing Tehran little good.
When Putin met with Iran’s top diplomat, Abbas Araghchi, on Monday, the Kremlin leader gave a stony-faced assessment of the U.S. strikes. He called the strikes unjustified and unprovoked and said Russia wanted to help the Iranian people.

Rick Seymour: If we want strong national defence, we must support military families
As global instability grows and international threats evolve, Canada can no longer afford to underinvest in its national defence. The government’s renewed commitment to strengthening the Canadian Armed Forces is timely — and long overdue. But as we debate where to allocate dollars, we must remember one fundamental truth: national defence isn’t just about equipment or infrastructure. It’s about people.

As Diddy prosecution rests, how compelling is the case against him?
Prosecutors in New York are set to rest their case in the weeks-long federal sex-trafficking and racketeering trial of rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The 55-year-old music mogul is accused of using his power as the leader of a business empire to facilitate the sex trafficking of women and conceal his crimes.
Mr Combs has admitted to domestic violence – but has pleaded not guilty to the prosecution’s charges, some of which rely on laws once aimed at mob bosses to try and bring him down.
The defence has yet to make its case – which Mr Combs’ attorneys have said will only take a couple days.
