HEINRICHS: ‘Drill baby drill’ vs. net zero — is Canada becoming America’s poor cousin?

According to the US government, climate change from man-made greenhouse gases is fake news. Lee Zeldin, director of the Environmental Protection Agency, brands it as nothing but “climate change religion,” while President Trump calls it a hoax and “perhaps the biggest scam in history.” The climate-change debate is dead and over — at least under one roof.

On this track, the US government is now shredding a tall stack of greenhouse-gas regulations. It’s being called the “single largest regulatory action in US history.”

AfD Set To Double Its Share of the Vote in Sunday’s Regional Election

The regional elections taking place this weekend in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate have become a more significant political event than usual.

Pre-election polls suggest that Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) could obtain around one fifth of the vote, more than double the result achieved in 2021, when it remained at around 8%.

Should Canada Support Cuba’s Ruthless Regime Asks Star?

As Cuba faces mounting crises, should Canada increase its foreign aid and should Ottawa support U.S. efforts to force a regime change?

U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to take over Cuba — “friendly” or “not friendly” — have landed like a grenade in a debate Canadians thought they understood. For decades, Ottawa’s approach to Havana has been built on engagement, not confrontation. Now Washington is demanding a harder line, tightening sanctions, threatening tariffs on countries that ship oil to the island and dangling the prospect of regime change.

But within Canada, the choice is not simple. Most Canadians who follow Cuba closely agree the communist government has a dismal human-rights record and that ordinary Cubans are suffering. They disagree sharply on whether pressure and sanctions will liberate those Cubans — or bury them.


I doubt many Canadians are worrying about Cuba other than where to go for their next vacay.

The global crime network funding Hezbollah’s defiance of Israel

Millions made from drug trafficking and illicit diamond trading mean the militant group will remain a threat unless its financial infrastructure is dismantled

One of the first targets Israel struck in its renewed war on Hezbollah this month was a bank branch in Beirut. Lebanese television carried images of the aftermath, showing scorched $100 bills fluttering along the street. This was not a misdirected missile and in the days that followed the Israelis would strike again at 30 other bank branches across Lebanon, all belonging to Al-Qard al-Hassan, a financial institution with links to Hezbollah.

GOLDSTEIN: Mark Carney government all over the map on foreign interference by India

What in heaven’s name is going on in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government with regard to the threat posed to Canada’s national security by India?

It’s as if the Liberals have learned nothing from the foreign interference inquiry in which Justice Marie-Josee Hogue concluded, “the government has proven to be a poor communicator and insufficiently transparent when it comes to foreign interference.”

Sandalista lefties arrive in Cuba, sing ‘Guantamanera’ boarding the tour buses to go look at poor people

Some things I can’t unsee.

Such as the sight of left-wing Sandalista supporters of Cuba’s heinous communist regime, boarding red tour buses in Havana while singing ‘Guantamanera’ together like it’s ‘Day-O’ in Jamaica on a Caribbean Cruise line vacay and driving off to see the poor people.


Not to be outdone …

Iran’s Kill Network Ran Through Toronto: Affidavit Reveals Canadian Web Infrastructure, Hong Kong Crypto Links, and Terror Financing Behind Cartel Plot Targeting Ottawa Politician

OTTAWA/WASHINGTON — Before the United States government seized four websites operated by Iran’s intelligence ministry and dismantled a network that had directed the Jalisco New Generation Cartel to behead a former Ontario politician at her Ottawa home, two of those sites were registered through a Toronto company that enables website owners to cloak their identities.

Law of the land

Twenty years ago this month, the Supreme Court of Canada cracked open a new fault line between Quebec and rest of the country, one that would put the French-speaking province on a trajectory diametrically at odds with the multicultural values Canada had come to embody and disrupt Quebec politics for years to come.

In quashing a Quebec Court of Appeal decision that had prohibited a Sikh boy from wearing a kirpan, or ceremonial dagger, at school, the country’s top court came down squarely on the side of religious freedom as guaranteed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and against Quebec’s vision of la laïcité, then an emerging doctrine of separation of church and state in a province that had gone to great pains since the Quiet Revolution to replace its dominant Catholic institutions with unsparingly secular ones.

Trafalgar Square takeover – another expression of power and intimidation

Muslims descrate Trafalgar square with Satanic cult rituals

THIS IS where we are in the UK. Muslims take over Trafalgar Square for open-air prayers. It’s a display designed to intimidate all non-Muslims. It’s a ritual of conquest. It’s saying ‘we control this country’. It’s a warning to anyone who isn’t Muslim.

The Muslim Mayor of London gives this official support and protection. Of course he does. Taxpayers’ money is spent protecting these people as they take over one of the most iconic public spaces in London.
