An Islamic State financier from Toronto has admitted he used online fundraising platforms to collect tens of thousands of dollars for the terrorist group’s fighters overseas.
At the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Monday, Khalilullah Yousuf pleaded guilty to terrorist financing and participating in terrorist group activity.
Officials in South Carolina are investigating the death of a man who was believed to have been killed while fighting a kangaroo in an enclosure at a children’s petting zoo.
Eric Slate, 52, died of “multiple blunt [force] injuries”, according to Tamara Willard, the chief deputy coroner of Horry county, as reported by WPDE News.
Local officials said Slate, brother of 5 Star Farm’s owner, Robert Slate, liked to enter the enclosure containing kangaroos and wallabies and “roughhouse” with a kangaroo named Jack.
Police are searching for two men, one of whom was armed with a sledgehammer, after they say that anti-Muslim slurs were “etched” into a parked vehicle outside a home in Etobicoke last month.
Toronto police say they were called to the area of Steeles Avenue West and Martin Grove Road at around 3:35 a.m. on April 26.
According to police, the victim’s vehicle was parked in the driveway and was vandalized by two suspects. Police say that the suspects were captured on the vehicle’s video camera. The damage included paint and anti-Muslim slurs etched into the vehicle, police say.
The government shouldn’t be paying lawyers to sue the government.
That it’s even necessary to write that sentence is absurd. Worse, taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to secretly fund lawsuits that try to make their lives more expensive.
But newly re-elected Prime Minister Mark Carney intends to do even more of that. The 2025 Liberal platform contained a commitment to “expand” the Court Challenges Program.
Or is the far-left media trying to provoke such a break?
Is Donald Trump really preparing to recognize a Palestinian state? The news hit like a thunderbolt on Saturday, amid an avalanche of stories claiming that Trump is angry with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and is changing course from his previous wholehearted support of Israel’s defense against Hamas and the other jihadist entities that are determined to destroy it. As is so often the case in such matters, however, there was decidedly less to the story than there initially appeared to be.
We Catholics have had a few days since Thursday to reflect on the appointment of our new leader Pope Leo XIV. The cardinals have flown home, St Peter’s Square is less crowded and tourists will be back in the Vatican Museum surreptitiously photographing the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
The election was mercifully quick, Cardinal Robert Prevost chose a significant Papal moniker. Reflecting one of our greatest popes who established a significant aspect of Catholic social teaching with Rerum Novarum (1891) on the proper relationship between capital and labour, his demeanour and mode of address when he appeared on the Vatican balcony were encouraging.
An Elections Canada judicial recount flipped a riding back to the Liberals over the weekend, but the results of three more recounts yet to be completed won’t give Prime Minister Mark Carney and his party the 172 seats needed for a majority government.
In fact, the Liberals could lose two seats to the Conservative Party of Canada and drop to 168 members of parliament if the count doesn’t go their way.
A mirror of crisis, there is an ongoing debate in the news media and various podcasts about what it actually means to be “British” (i.e. beyond the possession of a passport). A particularly sensitive topic in that connection is the right of a nation to demarcate itself from the rest of the world. (In the United States, the political conflict is symbolized by a border wall.)
In a trivial sense, we are all equally human, belonging to the same humanity. However, it goes against the ordinary meaning of the word to claim that we all equally belong to the same “nation”. Arising from Judeo-Christian faith, Greco-Roman philosophy-oratory, and Enlightenment ideals, neither British nor broader Western values are universal.
MODERN feminists have waged war against traditional gender roles and masculinity. They have said that conventional masculine roles are built into the patriarchy and are responsible for war and widespread violence. This has led men to look for role models who accentuate these ‘traditional’ roles. These role models portray the worst forms of masculinity and misogyny, creating the manosphere. Let us examine the feminist rebellion against gender roles and how that gave rise to a countermovement.
President Trump had one big question on his mind as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney headed to Washington last week.
“I very much want to work with him, but cannot understand one simple TRUTH,” Mr. Trump said in a social media post, reiterating several of ways he believes Canada benefits unfairly from its trade relationship with United States.
The president also repeated his incorrect claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada to the tune of $200 billion, alluding to the country’s trade deficit with Canada, which is the value of what the United States imports minus its exports.
HBO’s Real Time host Bill Maher recently plastered the Democrat Party for catering to antisemitic young people in universities and claimed that the Party has gone from “men can have babies” to “we like the terrorists.”
Then came a warning to Democrats about where their base is headed.
“The problem is, the energy of the party is with the young—and the young are with the terrorists. That’s not good. So talk to your children and remind them: you don’t really want to live like your heroes in… pic.twitter.com/KLYRE0oNIk

Rise in gun ownership and stand-your-ground laws drives a lucrative new market to insulate shooters from criminal and civil liability
Just after 2 a.m. on a November night, police were called to the home of Joshua Huston to respond to a shooting. Huston had camped out with his AR-15 rifle on a lot he owned next to his Florida home, hoping to catch the person who had been stealing from the property.
Manitoba Daily, a newspaper that led the national campaign for a $595 million government media bailout, claimed the “uncertainty of the political landscape” is impacting subsidized outlets.
The publisher of the Winnipeg Free Press did not identify any political party by name but noted the loss of taxpayers’ aid would hurt the business, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
For decades, a small circle of government officials and academics have periodically debated whether Canada should establish a foreign human intelligence service. Proponents have argued that, as the only G7 member state without such a body, Canada needs to set up its own version of an American CIA or British MI6. Opponents have responded that Canada’s secure position in North America and the important benefits it already derives from intelligence partnerships, such as the Five Eyes, have made the many challenges of creating a separate foreign intelligence agency unnecessary.
It is time to revisit this debate.
Recent advertisements and public art drip with the hatred that Hollywood and Madison Ave. have for natural male desire.
Historians analyzing the first quarter of the 21st Century will have many anomalous riddles to ponder about the no longer ruling class. Did they really believe defunding the police would lower crime? That employment based on race, sex, or sexual orientation rather than merit would produce a higher standard, including for the military? That black lives mattered more than others? That climate change would destroy the planet by — just pick a date and push it back a decade. That importing millions of anti-Western immigrants would strengthen Western Europe — and those who refuted this online should be arrested? That preborn infanticide was a woman’s right? That bodily butchery could turn boys into girls — and those who denied it should be banned or expelled? And that fat black women represented the zenith of beauty after 5,000 years of white-privileged sexism?
