Lack of working Cyclones frustrates Canada’s top sailor: ‘The helicopter has been letting us down’

Canada’s top sailor is so fed up with the dearth of Cyclone helicopters available to fly off this country’s warships, he’ll replace them with drones if he must.

The fleet of 26 CH-148 helicopters was grounded for most of last month due to spare parts problems. And, as of Thursday, only three of the choppers were available to fly off the country’s warships as the problems persist.

3 are working? That’s a record isn’t it?

The opening of an Islamic center associated with the Canadian chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood front group, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), has been delayed due to a funding shortfall of about $1 million.

Located in Yellowknife, the capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories, the long-awaited Islamic Centre of Yellowknife (ICYK) was expected to open in March 2025, but it is now unlikely to open until later this year.

Prohibited Access: A Cache of FBI Corruption?

A secret FBI document cache—“Prohibited Access”—may hold explosive evidence of political cover-ups, misconduct, and a decade of justice corrupted from within.

We recently learned of a previously concealed tranche of documents likely to shed new light on the past decade of American political controversies. This potentially earth-shaking information is known as “Prohibited Access.”

It was only recently discovered that the FBI’s information system, called Sentinel, had a level of access previously unknown to anyone outside the Bureau and known only to a select few inside. In essence, this was a concealed cache used to hide documents the FBI wanted hidden from discovery.

There is one part of the Sentinel system that is devoted to classified and confidential information, termed “Restricted Access.”

Anti-Regime Iranians Speak Out, Discuss Widespread Discontent With the Mullahs’ Rule

The American Spectator spoke to multiple sources from the Iranian opposition. These include a former and current resident of Iran, both of whom relayed to us information from extensive contacts in the country. These sources include Iranians “living in the center of Tehran” and across the country. Coming from a regime stained with blood, our sources provided this information, and information from their families and contacts, with great courage.

The Iranian regime has taken action to block the internet in the country. Few Iranians are able to reach friends outside their country’s borders. Those who are able to access the internet rely on Elon Musk’s Starlink service.

Trump’s Churchillian Decision: Eliminating Iran’s Nuclear Sites Means No One Can Use Them Later

President Donald J. Trump has a problem. If he leaves Iran’s major nuclear research and centrifuge sites, such as the Fordow uranium enrichment plant or Natanz, under their protective mountains, the countless centrifuges sheltered there will remain a permanent temptation — an “attractive nuisance” — for the Iranian regime to resurrect to terrorize its neighbors with again.

Joe Oliver: Having silenced critics, university admins think they can do no wrong

Elite American universities have been the brunt of severe criticism by alumni, donors, the public and politicians in a culture war that could have profound implications not only for academia, but for broader societal values and democratic politics. These issues are relevant in Canada because of the obvious parallels.

Some of the resulting penalties imposed on American colleges are overwrought — especially U.S. President Donald Trump’s policies barring foreign students from attending Harvard and defunding research. However, elite universities brought this existential crisis on themselves by failing to respond meaningfully to legitimate concern about civil rights violations and a lack of viewpoint diversity.

Up to 4.8 million new homes needed over next decade to restore affordability: CMHC

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. says up to 4.8 million new homes will need to be built over the next decade to restore affordability levels last seen in 2019 based on projected demand.

The national housing agency released its latest supply gaps estimate report today, which says between 430,000 and 480,000 new housing units are needed per year across the ownership and rental markets by 2035.

That would represent around double the current pace of home construction in Canada, with 90,760 housing starts recorded so far this year through May.


Canada can’t build that many homes.

FBI emails expose Biden DOJ’s obsession with piling on Trump charges

Internal FBI emails reveal that rogue agents and prosecutors in the Biden DOJ were looking for ways to pile on new criminal charges against Donald Trump over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — this time over his involvement with the J6 prisoner choir, based on a single partisan news article.

The 2023 emails obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and revealed exclusively to The Post are an example of the nitpicking malice of anti-Trump lawfare that tainted special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, during Joe Biden’s presidency.

Trump Gives Iran 2 Weeks Grace

Trump Gives Iran 2 Weeks Grace

Target: Iran. US forces are ready to deliver the second heaviest bunker buster ever made

The US armed forces have made various significant moves in recent days and months, clearly in preparation for strikes on Iran.

First, in March, B-2 Stealth bombers were deployed to Diego Garcia in the middle of the Indian Ocean – a good base for operations against Iran. The B-2s cost more than a billion dollars each and the US only has 19 of them (21 were built but two have been wrecked in accidents): they are only used for the most important operations.
