The British jihadists who could be freed from Syrian camps

Dozens of Isis fighters, brides and children from Britain are still living in the squalid camps and prisons of northeast Syria.

The rebels’ successful march on Damascus has led experts to warn of the security risk to the UK if the remaining adult Britons escape or are freed in the resulting chaos.

Sir Alex Younger, the former head of MI6, said the end of Bashar al-Assad’s regime risked a “serious spike” from the threat of “a very large number” of newly freed Isis prisoners. Experts have also warned that the conditions in the prisons and camps of Kurdish-controlled northeast Syria make them a breeding ground for radicalisation.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Marc Miller ignores potential threat from Syrian refugees

After cheers rang out in Damascus this weekend at the toppling of brutal Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, there came another sound: that of countries slamming the door on Syrian refugees. On Monday, 15 European nations declared that they would no longer grant them asylum. Some, like Austria, are discussing deportations; German politicians are suggesting that the country charter aircraft and offer financial incentives for people to leave. The United Kingdom has similarly put on a pause on asylum claims from Syrian refugees.

Musk’s politics hadn’t seeped into Tesla. Then he axed its eco car of the future.

Earlier this year, top executives at Tesla gathered in Palo Alto to sell CEO Elon Musk on a line of compact cars that would bring the electric-vehicle revolution to budget-conscious consumers across the world. The more affordable car had long been part of Musk’s master plan for Tesla to fight climate change by “accelerat[ing] the world’s transition to sustainable energy.”

But Musk axed the proposal, amid budget constraints, according to two people close to Musk who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations. Instead, the billionaire green-lit a massive purchase of computer chips, in a deal worth billions intended to enhance Tesla’s luxury cars (and a humanoid robot called Optimus) with energy-intensive artificial intelligence capabilities.

The axe fell because of the limited profitability an eco-car offered not politics.

I volunteer at a busy Toronto food bank and I’ve learned something that should make everyone angry

There’s lots of food, as you’d expect, at the food bank where I volunteer on Friday mornings. I’m usually put on the tuna-and-pasta table, so I find myself handing out hundreds of cans of fish and just as many packages of spaghetti. Oh, and tomato sauce too.

But food banks, when you get right down to it, aren’t really about food. The people who turn up at the Fort York Food Bank on College Street in central Toronto, my spot, aren’t hungry in the sense of arriving with growling stomachs from not eating. What they are is struggling to get by in a very expensive city.

This is Trudeau’s fault. Mass migration is killing Canada’s standard of living.

Montreal community centre pilloried for tickets charging extra for white people

A Montreal community centre has cancelled its plans for a “family-friendly” dance party after it was pilloried for stratifying admission pricing based on race.

The Shake La Cabane FAM-JAM – to be held Sunday, Dec. 8, at La Cabane community centre – advertised $25.83 general admission, but only $15.18 if the attendee was “Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Colour.”

An AI companion suggested he kill his parents. Now his mom is suing.

A new Texas lawsuit against Character.ai, alleging its chatbots poisoned a son against his family, is part of a push to increase oversight of AI companions.

In just six months, J.F., a sweet 17-year-old kid with autism who liked attending church and going on walks with his mom, had turned into someone his parents didn’t recognize.

He began cutting himself, lost 20 pounds and withdrew from his family. Desperate for answers, his mom searched his phone while he was sleeping. That’s when she found the screenshots.

Poll suggests 13% of Canadians think Canada should become 51st American state

OTTAWA — President-elect Donald Trump is calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau the governor of the “Great State of Canada” on his social media account.

Trump said in a taunting post to Truth Social early Tuesday it was a “pleasure to have dinner” with Trudeau at his Mar-a-Lago estate and that he looks forward to seeing the “governor again soon” to talk tariffs and trade, the “results of which will be truly spectacular for all.”

I would certainly consider it, many days I am certain I would welcome it.

Terry Newman: ‘Governor Trudeau’ deserves Trump’s trolling Trudeau poisoned the well with Trump long ago

Early Tuesday morning, perhaps from a gold-plated toilet at Mar-a-Lago, American president-elect Donald Trump posted what might be the most epic troll on a Canadian prime minister to date, referring to Justin Trudeau as Governor of the “Great State of Canada.” And it was well-deserved. Trudeau is simply not equipped for a war of wits and he has poisoned the well with Trump beyond repair.

Trump’s new world order: Global leaders are reassessing their position

When Donald Trump first visited Paris when President in 2017, he appeared as something of a passing curiosity; the apparent manifestation of America’s inexorable decline, captured in all its spray-tanned vulgarity. Seven years later he has returned to Paris as emperor, crowned by his client kings in none other than the spiritual home of modern Christendom: Notre-Dame. “It was a coronation,” as one European diplomat put it to me, laughing with incredulity at the spectacle.

What is so striking about this second coming of Trump is not just that the world appears to have accepted his victory this time, but to have actively embraced him as the harbinger of a new age, no longer seeking to protect the old one that has been discredited. The visual proof of this diplomatic embrace was captured in the image of Europe’s leaders in Paris, one after the other, moving to submit themselves at the feet of the new imperator.

The next few years promise a great deal of fun.

Migrant grievance grifter who stalked elderly woman cries about Racist Canada in Star

A wave of South Asian racism is sweeping Canada — and the Liberals’ missteps on immigration helped fuel the problem

Ashwin Annamalai, a housing and transit advocate, is not the type to keep quiet.

But he says he never thought he’d be talking about the racism he’s experienced in 2024.

The 31-year-old software programmer, who moved to Canada from India to study computer science at the University of Waterloo in 2018, has grown accustomed to seeing hateful posts about people of South Asian ancestry online — pointing to a recent post in a Waterloo Facebook group where a user, using a derogatory term for South Asians, says “they will never be Canadian and they all need to go back.”


I feel so sorry for him! An elderly woman he scared abused him! He should go jump on the first boat home!

This guy is hoping to secure a cushy little sinecure on the DEI grievance bandwagon.

The Clock Strikes Thirteen

What happened? It’s like a spell broke. Since November’s election (re-election?) of President Donald Trump, the woke is going away, and all sorts of problems are resolving themselves. But why?

There are several reasons, but basically, it’s a preference cascade.

In law we talk about the proverbial thirteenth chime of the clock, which is not only wrong in itself, but which calls into question everything that has come before. Most of our institutions have been chiming thirteen for quite a while, and people have noticed.
