What happens when Prime Minister Mark Carney’s promise of massive new federal spending on public infrastructure and speedy approval of “nation building projects” runs into the fact the federal public service routinely ignores the rules for spending public money and approving such projects?
The Kremlin is using nuns at a remote convent in the Baltic region to spread pro-Russian propaganda for its hybrid war on Europe, Estonia’s government has warned.
Estonian officials say the Pühtitsa Convent in eastern Estonia, which claims it has renounced all worldly affairs, is promoting a pro-Putin narrative that claims religious freedoms are under threat in the West.
Nuns at the Russian Orthodox convent are in an ongoing dispute with the Estonian government over a new law that requires them to sever ties with Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, the church’s spiritual leader and an ardent supporter of the war on Ukraine.
The US military dropped six “bunker buster” bombs on Iran’s Fordow nuclear enrichment plant Saturday night — with President Trump declaring the facility hidden beneath a mountain “is gone.”
Trump announced the airstrikes days after Israel initiated extensive attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and military.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space,” Trump posted on Truth Social just before 8 p.m. Saturday — marking the first-ever US strike on Iranian territory.

After sitting in jail since February 13, pro-life grandmother Linda Gibbons, 76, was freed last Monday when found not guilty of breaking the law by protesting outside Toronto’s Morgentaler Clinic abortion mill.
Did she stop traffic? Burn the Canadian flag? Shoot up or smash windows? Throw Molotov cocktails? Set vehicles ablaze? Get in cops’ faces to defiantly taunt them? Perhaps chant vicious death threats?
When I finished reading Left Behind, I was fully convinced of the central role Israel played in God’s plan for the nations. I was only 15 years old, but my imagination had been captured. Israel, in my mind, was the ticking clock of prophecy. To question this was to question God Himself.
Fast forward 23 years.
A concise explanation of a contentious topic concerning Israel and Protestantism.
I asked Grok …. What is the Catholic Church’s view of Israel? Is it dispensationalist?
The Catholic Church’s view of Israel is rooted in its theological understanding of salvation history, the covenant, and the relationship between Judaism and Christianity. It is not dispensationalist, as dispensationalism is a Protestant theological framework that the Catholic Church does not endorse.
From the very git-go, and certainly after a few days of Israel’s attack on Iran’s military and nuclear leaders and infrastructure, it was fully obvious and well-known that no “deal” could resolve the Iran nuke problem. Given what we have come to understand about Donald Trump’s modus operandi, he probably knew this also.
But despite the irrelevance of a “deal,” there was widespread and abundant confidence in Trump’s ability to get the job done, and this was confirmed by the Day Three announcement that the IDF had achieved air superiority over Iran.
We are at a decisive moment in the history of the Jews. “Never Again!” was the rallying cry of the Jewish people after approximately half the world’s Jews were gassed and incinerated in the death camps of the Third Reich, six million Jews, along with at least six-million non Jews who were also murdered by the Nazis (including three million Soviet POWs and as many as 500,000 Romani). The Jews did not have a state in the 25 centuries between the Persian occupation of the kingdom of Judea of Saul and David and Solomon, and the creation of the State of Israel as an explicitly Jewish country in 1948. For all of that time, the Jews were reviled as “rootless cosmopolitans, usurers and sharpers” because they were excluded from the professions. They had no place of safety from the perennial evils of antisemitism. As Jewish scholar Dara Horn has written, the world “loves dead Jews.” Those that retained a sense of optimistic goodwill, like Anne Frank, expiated the rest of us.
As Israel’s shadow war with Iran finally ignited into the open this month, the so-called progressives of the Western left were in no doubt where their allegiances lay. Not with the liberal democracy of Israel, but with the repressive autocracy of Iran.
On the streets of Western cities, self-identified radicals have been flying the flags of the Islamic Republic, while on the highways of social media, they have been indulging in their ritualistic denunciation of the ‘genocidal regime’ of Israel. No doubt they have also been cheering on every successful Iranian missile strike, just as some of them celebrated Hamas’s orgy of slaughter and rape in southern Israel on 7 October 2023.
Welcome to the bastardization of history.
Mob violence recently took place in L.A. and hundreds of other cities over Donald Trump’s efforts to obey the Constitution and “faithfully execute” the duties of the president, and carry out the laws by deporting illegal aliens. At the same time, Israel began a massive attack on Iran’s weapons and leaders in order to prevent that regime from acquiring nuclear weapons––which Iran now has a “zero- breakout-time” for achieving–– and fulfill the jihadists’ genocidal oath to “wipe Israel off the map,” as Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in 2003.
Monday, June 23, marks the 40th anniversary of the bombing of Air India Flight 182 — the deadliest terrorist attack in Canadian history, and the most lethal act of aviation terrorism in the world prior to 9/11. The bombing left 329 people dead, including 268 Canadians. The investigation into the attack is still “active and ongoing,” and is considered “one of the most complex domestic terrorism investigations” undertaken by the RCMP.
They are the first words uttered by boat migrants to British authorities after they set foot on our soil: ‘Where is the hotel?’
It is what they invariably say when they get off buses at the giant migrant reception camp on a former RAF base in Manston, Kent – the centre that processes all who arrive on traffickers’ boats.
We know this because, for the first time, whistleblowers at Manston have talked to the Mail in an investigation that lays bare in terrifying detail how overwhelmed staff struggle to adequately process the sheer numbers of migrants arriving on peak crossing days at Manston’s doors.
The parents of a schoolgirl in Berlin have filed a lawsuit against the state authorities for allowing the rainbow-coloured Pride flag to fly on top of the after-school care centre, which the girl attends.
The parents argue that the use of political symbols is not permitted in state education institutions, and they see the flag as part of a “politicised” agenda that is not suitable for children.
The Bank of Canada says creating a digital version of the dollar is technically feasible, but public distrust and limited interest make broad adoption unlikely.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the bank emphasized that it has no current plans to launch a central bank digital currency despite completing a feasibility study showing it could work for basic payments.
The elite want this. For you.
In 1991, I spent most of a day with officers huddled over banks of computers and green-glowing radar screens deep within Cheyenne Mountain, 600 metres below a rough-hewn granite peak near Colorado Springs, Col.
My tour was impressive but tranquil until suddenly a buzzer sounded, a bell rang, and a wall light flashed red. An unidentified blip had popped onto a screen in the missile warning centre, a 10-by-10 metre low-ceilinged room at North American Aerospace Defence Command (Norad).
The duty officer snatched a beige phone from its cradle and was instantly linked to the command post, another nearby room within the mountain’s hardened core.
Carney prefers the EU as a partner. He and his WEF colleagues are well ensconced and know how to exploit the system for profit.
A little surprised the Star would publish this.
