It’s hard to know what the Trudeau government was thinking two years ago when it dramatically increased its immigration targets given the added pressure this has put on three issues it says are priorities — housing affordability, improving healthcare and reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions.
A target, a sign of resistance, a badge of honor, a Nazi-era symbol — the inverted red triangle means many things to many people.
The upside-down triangle appeared in videos released by the Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, to mark potential Israeli military targets, such as tanks, shortly after the Israeli invasion of Gaza.
The European Union as well as the United States, Germany and several other countries classify Hamas as a terrorist organization. Following the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023, the German interior minister outlawed all activities of the group in Germany.
There is a very real fear and presentiment across the land that the country is disintegrating, Many Canadians now feel, whether implicitly or overtly, that Canada is on the cusp, teetering on the verge of collapse and dissolution. The National Post reports that “A majority of Canadians looking at the country they see around them say everything seems to be broken. Concerned about rising costs, the state of health care, affordable housing, jobs and more, half of us are also angry about the way Canada is being run.” Similarly, an Ipsos poll found that 7 in 10 Canadians agree that “Canada is broken.” As Lee Harding writes in the Western Standard, our rulers “in our own capital city [are] full of self-aggrandizement, handing out contracts to their friends, serving foreign interests, burying us in public debt, and laying heavy taxes on people.” Sounds like it could be the U.S. under Biden and Harris.

A government department is embroiled in a peculiar row over whether staff can wear ‘fetish gear’ to work following complaints from civil servants about a transgender colleague, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
Employees in the Department for Work and Pensions are objecting to the ‘highly inappropriate’ workwear of a fellow official which last week prompted a Tory peer to ask the Government about its ‘policy on civil servants wearing fetish clothing in the workplace’.
It is understood that Baroness Jenkin of Kennington tabled the unusual question to reflect her general concerns about the dress code and also in response to the specific issues raised by civil servants about one Whitehall diversity ambassador.
Manpreet Gill, the sole passenger in a cargo van involved in a high-speed police chase that ended in a deadly wrong-way crash on Highway 401 east of Toronto in April, has been denied bail and will remain in custody.
Gill, 38, appeared in an Oshawa, Ont., courtroom by video link for the second straight day on Friday from Maplehurst Correctional Complex in Milton.
CNN anchor Michael Smerconish called black men who felt Kamala Harris is not really black ‘low information voters.’
During his show on Saturday, Smerconish played a clip from CBS affiliate WHP filmed at a central Pennsylvania barber shop late last month asking black men what they thought about the vice president.
In the clip, a local journalist was speaking to black men at a barber shop when some said the didn’t think Harris was black.
"Some describe them as low information voters, no different that what you find among whites."

The Canadian Medical Association has called for a ban on payments for procedures long covered by public systems and is warning about contracting services out.
With perhaps 6.5 million Canadians finding themselves without a personal doctor and with seemingly endless waiting times becoming almost a norm for some medical procedures, private medicine is increasingly being pitched as a solution for those and other problems in Canada’s public health system.

Tommy Robinson stokes Southport riots — from holiday in Europe
Tommy Robinson has been stoking tensions over the Southport stabbings from thousands of miles away in southern Europe.

Courts to be open 24 hours to crack down on rioters

Dozens arrested after protest disorder spreads
More than 90 people were arrested after demonstrations organised by far-right groups descended into riots in UK towns and cities on Saturday.
There was unrest in Hull, Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester, Stoke-on-Trent, Blackpool and Belfast, with missiles thrown, shops looted and police attacked in some places. Other smaller demonstrations elsewhere did not turn violent.
Great Britain’s anti-migrant riots must be viewed as class warfare. As in Canada the elites in GB are largely insulated from their callous immigration policy decisions while the proles bear the brunt of that betrayal.
