A Second World War bomber, shot down by the Nazis with a British airman aboard, has been found after 82 years.
Leslie Norman Row, from Gravesend, Kent, was flying a mission over the Mediterranean when his Baltimore Bomber was attacked. The aircraft, part of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), crashed off the Greek island of Antikythera, with Mr Row and two comrades losing their lives.
After almost 82 years of uncertainty, divers discovered the bomber 61 metres beneath the Aegean Sea.
Far-left, billionaire-funded NGOs—closely aligned with the rudderless and imploding Democratic Party—have been waging a psychological warfare operation against the American people. Framed as “grassroots,” the party of hate and violence—evident in their “Tesla Takedown” color revolution aimed at killing Tesla to pressure Elon Musk on DOGE—has been building momentum in recent weeks to segue into anti-Trump protests this weekend. The goal is to manufacture the illusion that Trump is wildly unpopular, leveraging a vast network of dark money-funded NGOs that supply rent-a-protesters to rallies nationwide.
Cards on the table, I’m skeptical of the current state of the polling in this election. My sense is that Mark Carney and the Liberals’ numbers are, at least in part, a byproduct of sympathetic pollsters over-sampling their key demographics, and those being trumpeted to high heaven by the publicly-funded media. That, coupled with voters’ justifiable annoyance at Donald Trump’s “51st State” cracks and tariff threats, has contributed to an illusion of enthusiasm, a sense that they are running away with this thing.
That said, one polling data point has struck me as being both real and important. A recent Abacus Data poll showed that, when you cut out all the distractions, Canadians’ biggest concern remains our inflated cost of living. And that is an issue which clearly favors Poilievre and the Conservatives.
Pierre Poilievre took flak this week for speaking out about couples who want to have children but who are running out of time. His critics are dead wrong.
Economic challenges and government policies are making it harder than in the past for couples who want children to have them. Political leaders should be trying to overcome those challenges, rather than waving them away or fussing over the words we use to talk about them. Canada’s fertility crisis should also not exclusively be a concern of the Right. It should be mainstream.
Pay attention to who is melting down the most over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump implemented this week. It’s the same wealthy Wall Street elites and career politicians who have been exploiting American workers and pillaging the middle class for decades.
America has gotten unbelievably wealthy in recent decades. Not the working class, who have been systematically pillaged by the asset rich. Trump just took on the entire international global order on behalf of our abandoned working class. Thank you @RCamposDuffy for having me! pic.twitter.com/TgcBoAWGVF

This is the region I report out of— there are great big swaths of this country whether it is the Appalachian Midwest, Plains cattle ranchers or manufacturers everywhere — they have a very different worldview than those melting down over tariffs—they are more than willing to wait… https://t.co/p3q9IWFeXC

Water boy Carney’s backers are scared they’ll lose their spot at the public trough.
A few weeks ago, I argued that the strongest political opposition to Donald Trump resided right here in Canada.
Turns out, that’s an increasingly dangerous place to be.
As the latest round of tariffs on our automotive sector prove, it’s an increasingly economically painful place to be.
And if Donald Trump’s musings over a third term are to be believed — and they should — that may be the case not just for four years, but for at least eight. A near decade more of economic coercion and geopolitical volatility.
Less deranged than is usual for the Star.

People who choose to live in Ottawa tend to dislike Preston Manning. The city’s disdain for him is on the same scale as Western Canada’s anger at the memory of Pierre Trudeau.
When the Globe and Mail published the former Reform leader’s warning that Mark Carney poses a threat to national unity on Wednesday, that vitriol arose once again, scolding him for failing to toe the Team Canada line. That does not change the fact that Manning has a point.

There is a crisis of belief in the Catholic Church. Will the priests and bishops of America remedy that?
American Catholics ought to be alarmed but, in a way, inspired by some recent statistics on the Catholic faith in the U.S. The Pew Research Center published its Religious Landscape Study recently, including an analysis of the habits, beliefs, and religious practices of Catholics in the U.S. Although nearly a fifth (19 percent) of Americans identify as Catholics, that’s down from nearly a quarter (24 percent) in 2007. It doesn’t get much better.
Will the “Liberation Day” tariff policies of Donald Trump work or end in failure? Whenever there’s a question that cannot categorically be answered by physics or mathematics, the only recourse is to wait and see. Most human actions, operating as they do against the complex background of history and human society, cannot be easily predicted. No one on June 6, 1944, knew for sure if D-Day would succeed. In the lead-up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, most observers thought Kyiv’s goose was cooked. As the New York Times said in “The Secret History of the War in Ukraine”:
If you want an indication of how little things would change with a Carney government (versus a Trudeau one), just look at a promise new Liberal leader Mark Carney made about CBC funding during a French-language interview in Montreal on Friday.
France’s far-right National Rally (RN) leader Marine Le Pen has called a court ruling banning her from running for office for five years a “witch hunt”.
“I won’t give up,” she told thousands of flag-waving supporters in Place Vauban, close to the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Sunday.
She was on Monday found guilty of helping to embezzle €2.9m (£2.5m) of EU funds between 2004 and 2016 for use by her party. Le Pen has appealed.
At the rally on Sunday she claimed the ruling was a “political decision”, adding: “We are not asking to be above the law, but to not be below the law.”
