Canada’s costly NATO reminder: membership doesn’t come cheap

Membership has its privileges, as the old American Express advertisement promised. But it also has steep costs.

Canada faced a potential multibillion reminder of this as defence ministers gathered Thursday at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

They had come to set the stage for annual leaders’ summit in The Hague later this month where talk of defence spending will dominate the agenda.

ABC News: Musk Killed 300,000 Kids, Knows How Trump Stole Election

You would think that an ABC News program like The View would have some sort of journalistic standard they needed to meet, but that clearly wasn’t the case during Wednesday’s episode. In their opening segment flinging crud at Elon Musk, co-host Sunny Hostin claimed he had killed nearly 300,000 children and co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar hinted that he knew how President Trump stole the 2024 presidential election.

Carney and Trump are holding direct talks to drop tariffs: sources

Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump are having direct discussions to reach a trade deal and lift tariffs, according to sources with knowledge of their talks.

It is unclear how often the two have communicated since Carney’s visit to the White House last month, but a source with direct knowledge of the calls said the conversations are aimed at reaching an agreement on the trade war launched by the U.S. against Canada.

Mexico Sued the U.S. Gun Industry. Supreme Court: Absolutely Not

We all know that Mexico has become an incredibly violent place, especially over the last decade, due to a rise in cartel activity and organized crime. So, what has the Mexican government done to combat this? Well, not much, but back in 2021, it decided it would sue several gun makers and distributors here in the United States for at least $10 billion.

Canadian cities are becoming more lawless than the U.S.

Despite Canada’s reputation as a safer version of the U.S., newly compiled data is showing that crime has worsened to the point where, on some metrics, Canadian cities are becoming more lawless than the U.S.

Americans are still getting shot and murdered at higher rates than Canadians, but when it comes to theft, carjackings and break-ins, figures show that some Canadian cities are doing worse than their American counterparts.

Sacked police officer: ‘I saved a drowning woman. I feared they’d arrest me for it’

Four months before the arrest that led to his dismissal, Lorne Castle plunged into a freezing river in the middle of the night.

In the centre of the in-flood River Avon a vulnerable elderly woman clung to a small outcrop.

Police regulations dictated he should not enter the water, but Mr Castle ignored the rules to wade into the ice cold torrent, stripped off his stab vest, and began swimming into the current while trying to throw a life ring to the woman as her family watched from the riverbank.

JAY GOLDBERG: Canada Post and illicit drugs: another reason to privatize a failing Crown corporation

There are many reasons to private Canada Post. The fact that cartels use the postal service to help facilitate the contraband drug trade should be one of them.

As Canadian consumers and small businesses are left in limbo about whether mail delivery will once again be interrupted by a strike for a lengthy period, as was the case last November, a new report shows a lesser-known danger of leaving Canada Post with a government-mandated monopoly.

US Supreme Court sides with Ohio woman in ‘reverse discrimination’ case

The US Supreme Court has sided with an Ohio woman who alleged she was discriminated against at her job because she was heterosexual.

The justices voted unanimously in a ruling focused on evidence standards that could make it easier to file similar “reverse discrimination” cases.

Marlean Ames said that despite working for the Ohio Department of Youth Services for more than 20 years, she was denied a promotion and then demoted. She had appealed to the court to challenge the standards required to prove her case.

The decision effectively lowers the burden of proof required for people who are members of a majority group – such as white or heterosexual people – to make discrimination claims.

About time.

Alberta is the answer to American energy dominance

In a world increasingly defined by energy affordability, geopolitical instability and economic uncertainty, the United States is once again talking about energy dominance.

President Trump has made it a central pillar of his agenda, vowing to “unleash American energy” to lower prices, strengthen the economy and restore U.S. global leadership. National Energy Dominance Council Chair Doug Burgum echoed that vision recently, arguing that U.S. energy dominance is the “foundation of American prosperity.”

Trump Orders Investigation of Biden and His Aides

President Trump ordered his White House counsel and the attorney general on Wednesday to investigate former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his staff in Mr. Trump’s latest attempt to stoke outlandish conspiracy theories about his predecessor.

In an executive order, Mr. Trump put the power and resources of the federal government to work examining whether some of Mr. Biden’s presidential actions were legally invalid because his aides had enacted those policies without his knowledge.


How could anyone at the NYTimes write this with a straight face? The executive order is the latest effort by President Trump to stoke outlandish conspiracy theories about his predecessor and question the legality of his actions in office.

Sabrina Maddeaux: The U.K. Labour Party is finally doing something on immigration. Why can’t Canada?

Across the Atlantic, an unlikely beacon of hope has emerged for correcting Western immigration excesses: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who leads the U.K.’s centre-left Labour Party. This May, he announced sweeping new rules that should set a new standard for serious immigration reform regardless of political ideology.

In Canada, though most politicians will now admit we’ve massively messed up the immigration file, their vision for fixing the problem lacks clarity and sufficient ambition. Canadian leaders would be wise to take inspiration from Starmer’s immigration overhaul for an urgent made-in-Canada reset.


There’s a reason Muslims own our streets.

Their votes certainly count.

But there’s more.

Canada is run by criminals.

Our elites deliberately imported incompatible cultures as a divide and conquer tactic to ease the way for their mass immigration scam.

They criminalized citizens labeling them Racists and Islamophobes for objecting to having their country stolen from them.

This was done so our political class and our corporate class could exploit for personal gain the shortages created by the chaos of mass immigration.

The elites know they are guilty of a heinous crime.

The Jewish community is just collateral damage, an easy sacrifice to keep the Muslims and their useful idiots onside.

The elites will use the Mohammedans as their thugs while the Great Replacement continues apace.

Your replacement.

Elon Musk wanted to stay in White House but was rejected

Elon Musk wanted his work at the White House to be extended but was rebuffed, according to two sources close to the world’s richest man.

The billionaire’s designation as “special government employee” to lead a cost-slashing initiative came with a 130-day time limit.

He was given an Oval Office send-off last week as he stepped down as head of the Department of Government Efficiency but has since lashed out at Donald Trump’s signature “big, beautiful bill,” dismissing it as a “disgusting abomination”.
