BARBER: Sadly the ‘genocide’ against white South African farmers is real

Witkruis or Plaasmoorde Monument South Africa

President Trump’s declaration that Afrikaners are refugees has sparked controversy, for it raises several complex issues.

Afrikaners are the descendants of Dutch settlers. The Dutch began settling in small numbers in what is now South Africa in 1652. Later other European groups settled there and intermingled with the Dutch. Many Afrikaners moved to rural areas in the mid-1800s, but a large community continued to live in Cape Town.

WARMINGTON: If a grenade doesn’t go off in a crowd, does it mean it wasn’t real?

Hundreds of armed police officers, 56,000 participating in the Walk With Israel, and one pro-Hamas supporter with a hand grenade.

It was quite a sight — and, thankfully, there was no terror attack.

How Canada’s relationship with Israel went from ‘best friend’ to breakdown

Canada’s relationship with Israel has travelled a long way since 2015, when prime minister Stephen Harper and aspiring rival Justin Trudeau competed to claim the title of best friend of the Jewish state.

After winning his majority in 2011, Harper realigned Canada’s votes at the United Nations, joining a firmly pro-Israel bloc comprised of the U.S. and a group of Pacific island microstates that normally follow Washington’s lead.

That bloc would often be joined by a wider circle of pro-Israel nations; on the most controversial matters, however, its core members voted alone with Israel against overwhelming majorities.

Canada’s youth are staring down the worst summer jobs market in two decades; the latest sign of a Canadian economy whose shortcomings are disproportionately hammering the young.

According to new data published by the job site Indeed, summer job listings are down 22 per cent as compared to this time last year.

The Left’s terrorism problem and the wormy Western apple

The problem is that terrorists are emerging, as they did in the 1960s and 1970s, from the family album of progressivism.

Karl Marx said that the poor have only to lose their chains, but terrorism always comes from the elite of society, from the Tsarist Russia portrayed by Dostoevsky to the present day.

A violent gnosis typical of the wealthy cultural classes and economic elites, contrary to popular belief that terror is a result of poverty and deprivation. They have diplomas from private schools and prestigious degrees, often excellent bank accounts and are committed full time to overthrowing the Western society that generated them and destroying the culture by which they were, in spite of themselves, nourished.

Never Forget What Jon Stewart Did To America

Stewart’s smirk became the face of ‘smart liberalism,’ solidifying distrust in middle America and fostering a culture of ridicule and sanctimony.

Jon Stewart is back at it again, playing the role of political chiropractor, desperately trying to realign the spine of a party he helped fracture. The New Yorker recently offered Democrats a fresh 2028 campaign slogan: “Overcome the stink.”

It’s classic Stewart — sharp, crowd-pleasing, and seemingly wise. The kind of quip you’d see on a bumper sticker next to “Coexist.” And yet, the stench he’s gesturing at — the political decay, the public disillusionment, the loss of coherence on the Left — didn’t just drift in from elsewhere. It festered under his watch. And whether he’ll admit it or not, he helped create it.

The real threat to Canada’s auto industry isn’t Trump. It’s our own government forcing EVs on us

The greatest threat to the Canadian auto industry, the roughly half-million jobs it supports, the $38-billion in exports it generates annually, and the billions in foreign direct investment it accounts for, is not U.S. President Donald Trump. His threat of automotive tariffs is expected to disappear when Canadian-U.S. trade negotiations conclude.

The existential threat to Canada’s auto industry is our electric-vehicle mandate that mimics California’s.

The ‘Two-State Solution’ to Kill Jews, Destroy Israel

As the Hamas-Israel war in the Gaza Strip enters its 20th month, France, Britain and Canada have revived the talk about the need to establish a Palestinian state. In a joint statement in mid-May, the leaders of the three countries proclaimed:

“We are committed to recognizing a Palestinian state as a contribution to achieving a two-state solution and are prepared to work with others to this end.”

Next month, the United Nations is scheduled to host an international conference, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, to advance the idea of a “two-state solution” between Israel and the Palestinians.

Liberals vote against rules to turf their leader on the eve of new spring session

OTTAWA — Despite having complained about the lack of a formal process to eject prime minister Justin Trudeau mere months ago, Liberal MPs voted against the rules that would let them do exactly that with their current leader.

Prime Minister Mark Carney met with his caucus on Sunday afternoon for the first time since the election that brought the Liberal party just a few seats short of a majority.

US, UK and allies to lift all range restrictions on weapons in Ukraine

The US, Britain, France and Germany have agreed to lift all remaining range restrictions on the weapons they have given Ukraine, according to the German chancellor.

The shift, which has yet to be confirmed by Washington, would be not only a symbolic gesture of support from the Trump administration but also a military fillip for Kyiv, which could use western-made cruise missiles to strike up to 200 miles inside Russia instead of confining itself to the border regions.

Friedrich Merz, Germany’s conservative chancellor, said Ukraine would be able to defend itself with “long-range fire”.
