UK takes control of British Steel under emergency powers to prevent China shutting plants down

The UK government is taking control of Chinese-owned British Steel after emergency legislation was rushed through Parliament in a single day.

Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds told MPs the government’s likely next step would be to nationalise the Scunthorpe plant, which employs 2,700 people.

But he said he was forced to seek emergency powers to prevent owners Jingye shutting down its two blast furnaces, which would have ended primary steel production in the UK.

Don’t do business with the Chicoms like Carney does.

English Heritage claims Easter is not originally Christian

English Heritage has claimed that Easter was not originally Christian.

The charity is accused of “whitewashing” the holiday by claiming its roots lie in a pagan festival celebrating the start of Spring.

A booklet about Easter’s origins given out at several of its historic sites says that the word comes from the name of the goddess Eostre while failing to mention Christianity at all.

GOLDSTEIN: Reckless Liberal spending compromised our ability to fight tariff war

Liberal government misspending has left us ill-equipped to fight a tariff war with the U.S. – and one of the only alternatives the government has will be to increase taxes to do so.

But don’t take my word for it.

Those warnings came from Chrystia Freeland when she was finance minister and from parliamentary budget officer Yves Giroux.

North Korea’s horrifying human experiments

‘It would be a total lie for me to say I feel sympathetic about the children dying such a painful death,’ says Kwon Hyuk, as he remembers his time running a concentration camp in North Korea.

‘Under the society and the regime I was in at the time, I only felt that they were the enemies. So I felt no sympathy or pity for them at all.’

As chief of management at Camp 22, buried in the remote mountains of North Hamgyong, it was once his job to watch the cruel experiments on political prisoners.

GELEYNSE: Canadians’ free speech rights are under attack, again

If Canadians wish to ensure the preservation of individual liberty and free speech, we must get back to first principles — and the medieval wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas.

The Online Harms Act died when Parliament was prorogued late last year. It would have broadened the definition of hate crimes, empowered the state to impose house arrest to forestall possible future hate crimes, established a Digital Safety Commissioner to enforce social media regulations, and raised the maximum penalty for any offence found to be motivated by hate to life imprisonment.

Dozens of illegal magic mushroom dispensaries operating in major Canadian cities with no guardrails: study

More than 50 shops selling illegal magic mushrooms are operating in major cities in Canada and most of them make unsubstantiated health claims that could cause harm, according to a study by Canadian researchers published last week.

Of the 57 dispensaries found selling psilocybin as of May last year, 55 were located in Ontario or British Columbia, with 35 in the Toronto area and 15 around Vancouver. Hamilton had four and the Ottawa-Gatineau area had six.

So should we all just adopt an illegal side hustle to help pay the bills? No repercussions are evident.

Cost of living, housing the top priority for young voters, not Trump

Young voters’ top priorities are not being addressed by federal leaders most focused on proving their party is best equipped to tackle the Canada-U.S. trade war and sovereignty threats, observers say. While those issues are a main concern for middle-aged and older Canadians, they aren’t shared to the same degree among Canada’s youngest generation of voters, a recent Abacus Data poll reveals.

Generation Z—which Abacus classifies as voters under the age of 30—places cost of living as a top issue (46 per cent), followed by housing affordability (33 per cent), according to a survey tracking more than 3,200 respondents released on April 5. Dealing with U.S. President Donald Trump ranks a distant third in importance among 23 per cent—which amounts to a 15-point gap between generation Z and other voters polled, with baby boomers listing Trump as their top issue by a significant margin.

Trump Authorizes Military Occupation Of Public Land Along Southern Border To Repel Migrant ‘Invasions’

President Donald Trump signed a memorandum authorizing a “military mission for sealing the southern border of the United States and repelling invasions,” giving the U.S. military the ability to occupy public land along the border in order to secure it.

The directive, released late Friday, allows the military to use federal lands for military activities, including constructing border barriers and using “detection and monitoring equipment” to deter would-be migrant invaders.

As WorldPride DC approaches, international LGBTQ+ groups voice concerns

WorldPride, the LGBTQ+ festival celebrating “diversity, equality and love on a global scale,” is expected to bring 2 to 3 million people to Washington beginning May 17. But a number of international groups, worried about the Trump administration’s attacks on diversity, inclusion and equity efforts and its targeting of transgender rights in the United States, say they are planning to stay away.

The executive director of the Capital Pride Alliance, which is hosting the 23-day WorldPride festival, says he doesn’t blame them.

Liberal candidate accepted invitation from China to celebrate People’s Liberation Army event

A Liberal candidate running in a Greater Toronto Area riding, whose candidacy has come under scrutiny for ties to pro-Beijing groups, accepted an invitation from China to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army victory over Japan in the Second World War.

Peter Yuen, who has also been linked to Toronto’s Chinese consulate, joined a group of about 70 Chinese Canadians for the Tiananmen Square celebration in September, 2015.

How ‘positive action’ in police recruitment became anti-white discrimination

I was a special constable with Devon and Cornwall Constabulary for five years, giving me a front-line view of policing as I simultaneously worked as a senior civil servant at the Home Office.

You very quickly learn two things about “the job”. First, that when people are having the worst day of their lives the quality of your response makes a profound difference. Second, when the wheels fall off, you need a person in uniform standing next to you who can have your back. When you strip away all the progressive verbiage pumped out by policing quangos on what matters, the public expects two things, above all: moral and physical courage.

How young men are changing what conservatism looks like in Canada

Adam Beattie was walking with a friend in downtown Vancouver on a rainy winter day in 2023 when a stranger, who appeared to be high on fentanyl, punched him in the head.

They reported the attack to police, but Beattie says he was told that even if arrested, the attacker would likely be released a few hours later.

Beattie dropped the matter, but ended up moving to a Vancouver suburb where the rent was cheaper and he would feel safer.
