Scott Adams gives solid words of wisdom after revealing his cancer diagnosis.

As US President Donald J. Trump was being hosted in Saudi Arabia by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto ruler of the kingdom, the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen fired another ballistic missile at Israel.
The missile, which flew over Saudi Arabia on its way to Israel, was fortunately intercepted by the Israel Defense Forces before reaching its intended target.
The Houthis, in fact, fired three ballistic missiles at Israel, right over the Crown Prince’s head.
Man who absconded from CAMH has history of murder, violence
The man wanted by police for walking away from a downtown psychiatric ward is responsible for the death of two people — including the 2019 stabbing death of his father.
An Islamist extremist working at one of London’s most famous hospitals has been suspended after being accused of issuing a fatwa-style death threat for blasphemy.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that NHS employee Omar Abdallah Mansuur, 39 – an influential imam – faces claims that he decreed a fellow Muslim should get the death penalty for insulting the Prophet Mohammed.
His broadcast was made to tens of thousands of followers and is thought to be the first time a cleric in Britain has made such a threat.
The Alberta government is launching a new research centre to study the political and economic dynamics between Canada and the United States, as U.S. President Donald Trump‘s trade war and 51st-state rhetoric have upended the previously close relationship between the two countries.
The New North American Initiative, led by the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy, will receive $6.5-million over three years from the province. Post-secondary institutions and universities on both sides of the border will share expertise on navigating the new Canada-U.S. landscape.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to strip legal protections from 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially exposing them to deportation.
The court’s order, with only one noted dissent, puts on hold a ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco that kept in place Temporary Protected Status for the Venezuelans that would have otherwise expired last month. The justices provided no rationale, which is common in emergency appeals.
For Finland’s small city of Kouvola, the centre would bring money and jobs. But the social media giant as the tenant poses a political headache for Helsinki
Kouvola needs all the jobs it can get. Young Finns who have not already left a small city so drab it could be stuck in the Soviet Union struggle to find work.
So when an international company called Hyperco announced it would exploit the freezing north’s temperatures and ready access to cold water to build a data centre in the area, there was general acceptance of it being a pretty good thing.
After all, the few million euros paid for a parcel of empty land seemed a good deal for everybody.
A longtime Manitoba construction business owner is sounding the alarm about a growing financial crisis that could eliminate small and mid-sized builders across Canada. The warning comes after more than 30 discussions with banks, credit unions, and private investors, all of whom have significantly reduced their construction lending. Despite strong demand for housing and infrastructure, industry insiders state that most builders can no longer access credit to keep projects moving.
The long rows of tiny Victorian terraced houses are like hundreds of others around the Midlands, the North and any of the towns and cities whose occupants powered Britain’s industrial past.
But Mornington Street, in St Matthew’s, Leicester, can ‘boast’ something the others cannot.
It is, according to official statistics, the road with the lowest proportion of English speakers in the UK. It’s hardly a surprise to find that dubious title is claimed by a street in Leicester.
Over the past 19 months, on several occasions, Toronto Police Service has published figures showing an alarming surge in antisemitic hate crimes in our city. Just this month, the TPS released data showing a historic high in reported hate crime incidents in 2024, with Jews the most targeted.
While the Jewish community represents less than 4 per cent of Toronto’s population, anti-Jewish hate crimes accounted for 40 per cent of all reported incidents.
Remarkably, even in the face of incontrovertible, well-documented facts, some people seek to diminish or rationalize this sobering situation. They insist it’s not about Jews, it’s about Israel. But the reality on the ground tells a very different story, as Jewish individuals and institutions continue to face an onslaught of hate, as documented by the recent police statistics.
The author ends with a plea for non-Jews to take action especially our public officials.
Beyond lip service nothing will happen.
Our public officials are part of the problem. It was they who imported the Islamists.
Years of conditioning Canadians as racist settler Islamophobes has paid off thanks to DEI and CRT.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke for more than two hours Monday, after the White House said the U.S. leader has grown “frustrated” with the conflict and planned a separate call with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy in hopes of making progress toward a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine.
Moscow is ready to work toward ending fighting in Ukraine, Putin said following the call. He said Russia was in favor of a “peaceful settlement” and that compromises would need to be found to suit both parties. He also described the conversation with Trump as “frank and meaningful.”
The new Ontario budget foresees a slow pace for housing construction over the next three years, making it increasingly unlikely that Premier Doug Ford’s government will achieve its target of 1.5 million new homes by 2031.
The budget forecasts 71,800 housing starts in 2025, followed by 74,800 next year and 82,500 in 2027.
There have been 260,000 actual housing starts in the three years since the target was set. So if you add in the projections for 2025 and 2026, the province would only be about one-quarter of the way toward its goal at the end of next year, the halfway point of the target timeline.

Researchers: Extremism in Germany’s military remains threat
An internal survey about extremist attitudes in the German military now found that it does not have “systemic” extremism in the ranks. But some researchers are skeptical of the safeguards in place.
… Despite these safeguards, Hoffstadt does not believe that the Bundeswehr is doing enough to keep extremist attitudes out of the military, especially in the context of a wider society where right-wing attitudes have become increasingly normalized — as shown by the success of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD).
“There have been too many ‘isolated cases’ in the military to trust in the power of this gatekeeping,” she said. “They have a lot of seminars and meetings and political education, but in the bases, there is not a very close awareness of the complexity of the modern right-wing mindset.”
These are the same jackasses that tried to have the AfD banned because they criticized Islam, Globalists and immigrant crime.
I expect the Carney Liberals will attempt a similar assault on freedom soon.
It invites adversaries to believe that Canada’s leadership can be pressured or swayed by asymmetric warfare and media optics
Practically the first words out of Anita Anand’s mouth after she became Canada’s new foreign affairs minister were not about reaffirming alliances, protecting Canadian citizens abroad or defending democratic norms. Instead, she chose to cast immediate blame on Israel for the devastating conditions in Gaza — without acknowledging, let alone condemning, Hamas’s horrific October 7 massacre, which precipitated this war.
It’s not a blunder.
It’s just a reflection of our modern political landscape which now resembles a map of Middle Earth with Mordor menacing in the distance.
Media Optics? Canada’s government paid media are too often just typists serving up Liberal Party positions as news.
Thanks to a demographic tainted by criminally bad immigration policy the Liberal Party has chosen to side with the Islamists a vote bloc considerably larger than Canada’s Jewish community.
LPC lip service to the Zionist bloc will continue as required.
