Culture warriors are losing the battle for civilisation

There are many contenders to be the world’s predominant civilisation in the remainder of the 21st century. In Moscow in March, a group of top clergy and pious entrepreneurs from the Kremlin’s inner circle lauded their country’s role as creators of the so-called Russian World. This was defined as a “spiritual and cultural-civilisational phenomenon” stretching far beyond the state’s legal borders, embracing all those who recognised the Russians’ self-imposed mission, which was to restrain evil across the globe.

Sleeping with the Enemy: Swedish Police Staff Leaked Deadly Info to Gang Members

Some 30 police officers in Sweden provoked public outrage in yet another major scandal involving gang activity. It appears that law enforcement officials allowed themselves to be seduced and exploited by gangsters to whom they gave information that later led to several deadly altercations on the streets.

The shocking details were first revealed in an extensive investigation published by the local daily Dagens Nyheter (DN), which found over 500 instances of Swedish police personnel leaking classified information. Gang members were briefed regarding ongoing investigations, upcoming raids, or competing gangs.

Terry Glavin: Group banned in Germany gets carte blanche in Canada to glorify Hamas massacre

“We stand with the Palestinian resistance and their heroic and brave action on October 7. Long live October 7.”

It doesn’t get much clearer than that.

It was yet another harangue from Charlotte Kates, international co-ordinator for the Samidoun Prisoners Solidarity Network, one of the main groups behind the dozens of “pro-Palestine” rallies and demonstrations across Canada since the Hamas atrocities of October 7 last year. The savageries of that day led to the war in Gaza that has so far cost the lives of perhaps 30,000 Palestinians.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was told Monday by a top union leader that grave concerns remain about the hiring of foreign workers at a flagship EV battery plant in Windsor, Ont., when skilled Canadians are available to do the jobs.

Justice minister says protest over Israel-Hamas war at his home crossed a line … So what’s the point of Junior vote whoring the Islamists?

OTTAWA – Justice Minister Arif Virani says protesters who took their cause to his home over the weekend crossed a line.

A few dozen pro-Palestinian protesters showed up at Virani’s Toronto-area home on Saturday, waving flags and placards with his photo on them at the edge of his driveway.

Virani told reporters on his way into a cabinet meeting Tuesday that he believes in the right to “lawful and peaceful protest,” which the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees.

America’s Sydney Sweeney Crisis

Our nation is divided over these two big issues.

War in the Middle East, surging inflation, the Republican Speaker of the House clinging to a one-vote majority, a presidential election campaign stumbling toward what is certain to be a photo-finish conclusion, with one candidate doddering in senility and the other being hounded in courtrooms by witch-hunt persecutors — these are but a few of the many crises facing the United States in the Year of Our Lord 2024. The list could be almost infinitely extended, but we ought to at least mention rampant crime, an unprecedented influx of illegal aliens, and fentanyl overdoses soaring to catastrophic levels. Amid all these woes and worries, however, it would be negligent to overlook the two most important issues in America, Sydney Sweeney.

Electric cars could sink Tesla – not even Elon can stop it

There is a long-running debate about whether Tesla is a car or a technology company. For a while this was largely an academic question related to future potential and therefore valuation. But now Elon Musk’s baby has reached a crunch point and the search for an answer has become existential.

There are no prizes for guessing which side Musk comes down on. “If you value Tesla just as an auto company, you fundamentally have the wrong framework,” he said last week. “If someone doesn’t believe Tesla is going to solve autonomy, they should not be an investor in the company.”

CHARLEBOIS: The missed opportunity of the Loblaw boycott

For months now, we have heard rumblings of a Loblaw boycott organized by a clandestine group aiming to penalize grocers for their perceived profiteering. This alleged boycott is set to start on May 1, with participants calling for a reduction in food prices. However, it’s important to note that many food prices have already been declining for weeks, rendering the movement somewhat misguided in achieving its purported goals.

China Humiliated Blinken But Blinken Kept Begging

It is not clear whether a Chinese official was at the Beijing airport to bid farewell to Secretary of State Antony Blinken as he ended his three-day visit to China on Friday, but the send-off was in any event low-key and Chinese leader Xi Jinping slighted America’s top diplomat at the end of his troubled stay.

Also, China, literally and figuratively, did not roll out the red carpet for his arrival in Shanghai on Wednesday. Only a low-level official was on hand to greet Blinken as he stepped off the plane.
