Brampton man wants KFC to reconsider going halal in Ontario, eventually Canada

A Brampton resident has launched a Change.org petition urging KFC to reverse its decision to serve exclusively halal meat eventually in all of Canada.

Roop Sandhu says the policy — which the company announced in a memo to franchisees in May for Ontario (except Thunder Bay and Ottawa) with a plan to roll it out nationwide by year’s end — dismisses the dietary preferences of religious communities which prohibit the consumption of halal meat.

SLOBODIAN: Turn off the money taps to these anti-hate, hate-mongers

Trudeau Liberals continue to fund groups that demonize white people, pro-life and pro-parent groups

Enough with the charlatan Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) leeching off $640,000 in taxpayer dollars — a hefty portion of that paid by the white men and Christians it vengefully targets.

Enough of cowardly politicians — from all federal parties — without the backbone to shut down these federally-subsidized radical activists that published a blacklist dripping with hate and promoting unrest under the pretenCe of identifying so-called “haters” without offering evidence to back the claims.

Trump Should Play Hardball in the Debate Standoff with Harris

While the media are reporting that Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will debate on September 10, the truth is that they continue to talk past each other when scheduling their faceoffs. Trump’s slide in the polls is putting some pressure on him to agree to Harris’s and the media’s terms quickly. Trump should resist that pressure because time is on his side.

Notes from Elon Musk’s conversation with Donald Trump

Elon Musk and Donald Trump had scheduled their conversation to begin at 8 p.m. Eastern Time as an X livestream. However, at 8 p.m., millions of the people who went to X found themselves staring at a blank purple square, thanks to a massive DDoS attack.* However, once the interview started, Trump finally had the space to expand on what matters to Americans, with Musk there to corral him gently when he went too far afield.

Harris Campaign Tries to Straddle the Fence on Israel-Hamas War

But it’s obvious which way Kamala leans.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat Party’s nominee for president, is trying to walk a political tightrope on the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. On the one hand, to court as many moderate Jewish voters as possible, she repeats her canned statement of support for Israel’s right to defend itself, even going so far just recently to brand Hamas as “terrorists.” But at the same time, she is also currently entertaining the idea of an arms embargo against the Jewish state, according to pro-Palestinian advocates who spoke with her just before her campaign rally last week in Detroit, Michigan.

To Bolster An Aging U.S. Naval Fleet, It’s Time To Bring Back Privateers

The U.S. Navy isn’t just for fighting overseas or protecting the homeland. It’s also a basic tool of force projection, diplomacy, and protecting and regulating international trade. But today’s Navy is too small to meet the demands placed on it. As a result, traditional Navy tasks, such as enforcing sanctions, are far down the priority list. But this capability gap could be filled if we had the boldness to bring back privateers.

During the long response to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the delusion of the peaceful rise of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the U.S. Navy was allowed to atrophy. One tangible consequence: Today, America reportedly has no aircraft carriers dedicated to deterring an increasingly bellicose China — they’re all either in the Middle East, headed to the Middle East, or in various stages of training or repair.

Meet Britain’s asylum hotel tycoon

Alex Langsam’s holiday empire is shrouded in secrecy

Scarborough’s Grand Hotel isn’t so grand these days. Built in the shape of a V to honour Queen Victoria, this sandy-brick behemoth was billed as “the largest and handsomest hotel in Europe” when its doors opened in 1867. Edward VIII stayed here before ascending the throne. Sir Winston Churchill, the poet Edith Sitwell and Labour’s first prime minister, Ramsay MacDonald, were among the A-listers of yesteryear to visit this 12-floor wonder overlooking the North Sea.

When I arrive for my night at the Grand, my first impression is of the screeching seagulls and weeds that have been allowed to colonise the elegant roof with its four domed towers. Broken eggshells and droppings now pepper the walkways surrounding this once opulent building. A sign on a railing commands passers-by to “stop attacks” by not feeding the birds. Nearby, a dozen refuse bins and a cluster of tradesmen’s vans obscure the still striking entrance.

Random Acts of God? Understanding #EnoughIsEnough

In Britain, we have a borderline treacherous establishment class that is fatally out of touch with the concerns of its own people.

Perhaps there are no more words left to be said about the Southport attack. Three beautiful girls are dead. In hospital, more lie injured, and the strain placed upon witnesses is untold. And yet, protests and riots have been breaking out on the streets of Britain. The online public square is aflame. The hashtag #EnoughIsEnough has been trending on X, formerly known as Twitter, for five days and the rage seems only to intensify with each passing day.

LILLEY: Terror suspect let into Canada because security not a priority

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants you to know that his government is taking the case of Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi very seriously. In case you’ve missed the news, Eldidi is the father part of the father-son duo facing charges after their arrest two weeks ago for what authorities said was a terror plot.

The $22 Billion Plan to Turn a Defunct Airport Into a Small City

Canadian developer aims to preserve airport’s features, including hangars and a runway, to draw residents and businesses to the neighborhood

A planned community for about 55,000 residents in Toronto will include the usual playgrounds, bike paths and shops. It will also feature 11 airplane hangars and more than a mile of airport runway.

That is because the 30 billion Canadian dollar, equivalent to about $22 billion, development will be located at the city’s former Downsview Airport.

Airports have been repurposed as communities and parks before, but developers typically raze the original infrastructure and start from scratch. In this case, Northcrest Developments is betting that by preserving the airport’s main features it can enhance the community’s allure.

City subsidized Slum in 5 years time is my bet.

Inside the pressure campaign on Danielle Smith to make gun ownership (and more) an Alberta right

Premier Danielle Smith intends to strengthen the little-known Alberta Bill of Rights this fall to include protections for people who refuse to be vaccinated, but she’s facing heavy pressure from United Conservative activists to go much farther in her overhaul, CBC News has learned.

A group from the premier’s riding in Medicine Hat, which calls itself the Black Hat Gang, has met with senior government officials and proposed a massive new draft of Alberta’s rights document. The “gang” wants it to enshrine an array of new rights, including confidentiality of health information and “informed consent” to medical care, as well as rights to keep and bear firearms, to use “sufficient force” to defend one’s property, and “freedom from excessive taxation.”
