Surging Canadian pride in face of Trump’s insults sags after Canada’s federal election, poll finds

A surge in Canadian pride when Canada’s sovereignty and dignity were under assault from U.S. President Donald Trump has slumped back to normal levels after the federal election, according to a public opinion poll.

Last year — in May and again in November — 80 per cent of Canadians said they were proud to be Canadian in opinion polls, but patriotism surged this spring, climbing to 86 per cent in early March, during the lead-up to April’s federal election call.

Israel threatens to ‘act accordingly’ as Greta Thunberg frolics on sailing boat heading to Gaza

Israel warned Wednesday that it is “prepared” to “act accordingly” to stop Greta Thunberg’s so-called Freedom Flotilla Coalition from reaching Gaza — as the eco-activist frolicked and filmed smiling social media content on the Mediterranean Sea.

Thunberg, 22, set sail Sunday to bring milk and protein bars to Gaza — with the Swedish campaigner posting images of her glamming it up onboard in a keffiyeh and holding a Palestinian flag.

The RCMP investigation on the Gaza war shows Canada’s approach to Israel could be changing

Canadian authorities are conducting an investigation into war crimes and other potential atrocities committed in the Israel-Hamas war. First reported by journalist Ben Mussett, the news comes amidst mounting evidence of the intentional starvation of civilians in Gaza, the refusal of Hamas to return hostages, moves to build new (and illegal) settlements in the West Bank, and open calls among Israeli leaders to depopulate Gaza. The RCMP investigation marks the first time that Canada has dedicated tangible resources to investigating international crimes in the Palestinian territories and Israel.

June 4 (UPI) — The Sean “Diddy” Combs criminal trial continued Wednesday as prosecutors continue to attempt to fully demonstrate how Combs desperately worked to conceal the crimes of which he’s accused.

German, Norwegian officials urge Canada to join ‘familiar family’ in buying new submarines

Senior German and Norwegian defence officials say they’re confident Canada will sign on to the ReArm Europe plan in the coming weeks and such a move will make it easier for the Liberal government to buy new submarines from allies.

Jasper Wieck, the political director of the German Ministry of Defence, and Norway’s program director of submarines, Capt. (N) Oystein Storebo, spoke with CBC News recently about the pitch for Canada to join their existing partnership, in which the two nations are constructing cutting-edge boats that will begin to enter service in 2028.

Chinese researchers charged with smuggling dangerous biological pathogen into US

Biological Pathogens Smuggled Into the US by China

A pair of Chinese researchers have been charged for allegedly smuggling a biological pathogen into the US to study at the University of Michigan, according to federal authorities.

Yunqing Jian, 33, and Zunyong Liu, 34, have been charged with conspiracy, smuggling, making false statements and visa fraud after authorities found that Liu entered the country last year with a toxic fungus stashed in his backpack.

Liu attempted to smuggle the pathogen through Detroit airport so he could study it at the University of Michigan laboratory where his girlfriend, Jian, worked, the complaint said.

Will the damage ever be undone?

On the anniversary of a national psychotic episode. . .

Four years ago this week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ordered the flags lowered on all federal buildings across Canada. He’d already ordered the flags lowered on Parliament Hill over the weekend before. All the flags remained at half mast for six long months.

There were riots. Statues of Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, John A. Macdonald, Egerton Ryerson, Joseph Hugonard, James Cook and other historical figures were toppled by mobs or formally removed in Charlottetown, Winnipeg, Toronto, Kingston, Hamilton, Lebret and Victoria.

Politicians have their heads in the sand about immigration’s irreversible damages

A new report published by the Centre for Heterodox Social Science has underscored the reality of significant demographic change in modern Britain. Authored by Matthew Goodwin, the research projects that the white-British ethnic majority will become a minority within the next four decades and could fall as low as a third of the UK’s population by the end of the century.

By 2100, the analysis predicts that three in five people will be non-white. Currently standing in the region of seven per cent, the Muslim proportion of the UK’s population could increase to eleven percent by 2050 and as high as one-fifth of it by the 22nd century.

Should Canada build a pipeline to the West or the East?

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith went into the first ministers’ meeting calling for a commitment to an oil pipeline to the northern B.C. coast. Some Eastern Canadian premiers suggested they’re keen on an oil pipeline that would go across the country from west to east.

Neither exists yet. There’s no company proposing to build either. But even as concepts, they are very different. They would serve very different purposes.

Decarbonized? Is that oil gone flat?

Class action bid launched on behalf of refugees denied access to Toronto shelters

Two law firms and a legal clinic have filed a proposal for a multimillion-dollar class action lawsuit against the city on behalf of all refugee claimants who were denied access to shelter system beds between November 2022 and October 2023.

Acting on behalf of Wasiu Adekanmbi, a 40 year-old Nigerian refugee claimant, in a statement of claim filed last Friday, Black Legal Action Centre (BLAC), Lewis Litigation PC and Steiber Berlach LLP argue that the city preventing refugee claimants from accessing municipal shelter beds constituted a violation of Charter rights and freedoms, the Ontario Human Rights Code and amounts to “systemic negligence.”

French police probe possible first ‘anti-migrant terrorist’ killing

French prosecutors are investigating the murder of a Tunisian man by his white neighbour in the south of France, treating it as a suspected racially-motivated terrorist attack.

It is the first time that counterterrorism prosecutors have taken charge of an investigation into a killing allegedly committed by a far-right supporter. It came amid growing concern over hate crimes against Muslims in France after a Malian man was stabbed to death in a mosque in April.

The Tunisian man, Hichem Miraoui, was a 46-year-old hairdresser who had lived in France for 14 years. He was shot five times on Saturday by a 53-year-old boilermaker named as Christophe B in the southern town of Puget-sur-Argens, near the Riviera resort of Saint-Raphaël, prosecutors said. A 25-year-old Turkish man was also shot in the hand.

Things to come …

Toronto, soon …

Feral Cities

Western governments under increasing structural civilisational distress and having squandered their legitimacy are losing the ability to peacefully manage multicultural societies that are terminally fractured by ethnic identity politics. The initial result is an accelerating descent of multiple major cities into marginally ‘feral’ status as defined by Richard Norton in a 2003 essay in this way:

…a metropolis with a population of more than a million people in a state the government of which has lost the ability to maintain the rule of law within the city’s boundaries yet remains a functioning actor in the greater international system.
