A Ukrainian woman who immigrated to Nova Scotia says she could not keep up with the high cost of living.
Tetiana Melnyk moved to the province in March 2023 and took on three jobs so should she could begin to build a life for her two children.
After working for five months, she was able to bring them to Canada.
Seventy-one percent of Palestinians in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank believe Hamas made the right decision in attacking Israel on October 7, according to a new poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research.
The percentage of West Bank residents who support the Hamas attack has decreased slightly since December, when 82 percent of West Bank respondents said they agreed with the decision, though support for the terror attack has increased in Gaza, rising from 57 percent in December to 71 percent in March.
I am standing on the 26th floor of a skyscraper in Tel Aviv with views over the city and out to the Mediterranean, clutching a bottle of red wine from a Portuguese vineyard that doesn’t exist.
The wine certainly looks convincing. The bottle has an artful label with an etching of vines stretching across a hillside, a farmhouse in the distance. The vineyard also apparently bottles a sauvignon blanc and an aged ruby port, and reviews of its wine have featured on an established website, Vivino. ‘Another great wine from Alcantara,’ says one. ‘A soft fresh and fruity blend that pairs nicely with dessert. I was happily surprised with the tartness of the cranberries that was nicely balanced with the sweetness of the plum.’
US Senator Chuck Schumer stood at the Senate podium and laid out his vision of the “four obstacles to peace”. These, according to the Senate Majority Leader were, Hamas, “right wing Israelis”, PLO terrorist leader Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Having equated Israeli conservatives with Hamas, Schumer demanded that Israel call a new election and remove its current government from power. And if Israelis did not choose to obey, he warned that the “United States will have no choice but to play a more active role in shaping Israeli policy by using our leverage to change the present course.”
That is an obvious euphemism for anything from the withdrawal of aid to economic sanctions.
Never mind the masterful storytelling and thrill of a well-done plot like Richard Connell’s The Most Dangerous Game, because Hollywood isn’t interested in quality; instead, studio executives prefer to push out the Democrat left’s narrative of a white-on-black “racism” dystopia, which is why their new movie labeling white people the “most dangerous animal[s]” flopped at the box office, barely breaking the $1 million mark despite showing in more than 1,100 theaters across the nation.
The Great Escape wasn’t so great in the end. Almost all the Allied participants in the famous breakout from a German prisoner-of-war camp were captured and most were killed.
It has always looked as if the plan went wrong — but what if something more sinister was at work? Had the Great Escapers been betrayed?
A newly uncovered document in the National Archives has revealed that Flight Lieutenant Desmond Plunkett, the map-maker and unlucky 13th man out of the camp, believed the Great Escape had been brought down — by its own side.
‘Diversity’ and ‘multiculturalism’ have never been in such low water.
On Monday night, it became clear to a sizeable Westminster audience that the case for mass immigration is dead. The venue was the Emmanuel Centre, the occasion a public debate put on by Touchpoint Politics: “Is Immigration Good for Britain?” Moderated by The Spectator’s Katy Balls, anyone willing to cough up £20 or so was entitled to watch the comedian Konstantin Kisin and the political scientist Matthew Goodwin, both opposing the motion, go up against co-founder of Novara Media Aaron Bastani and Polly Toynbee of the Guardian.
Neither side said anything new, ground-breaking, or particularly radioactive. But while this created no hiccups so far as Kisin and Goodwin were concerned, for Bastani and Toynbee the lack of novelty was quite fatal.
The world population is expected to fall for the first time since the Black Death because of plummeting birth rates, a Lancet study has found.
The decline in the number of children women are having has started to slow the growth of the global population, which stands at just over eight billion, and could mean it starts to fall within decades.
It would be the first time that the number of people on the planet has decreased since the Black Death bubonic plague pandemic killed as many as 50 million people in the mid-1300s, including up to a third of the population in Europe.
Canada’s “Freedom to Read” week was all about promoting censorship.
As Big Brother says, “Ignorance is Strength.”
… “Second,” he continued, “you didn’t pay attention to what’s happening to men. The Canadian media spent years talking about Pierre Poilievre’s problem with women voters. No one seemed to notice Justin Trudeau’s problem with men voters. I have never seen male voters, or any voting bloc, form up so monolithically. And that is happening elsewhere, including in the U.S. Men love Pierre Poilievre so much that there basically aren’t enough women voters left to counteract that,” he quipped. “And that was something you could have seen.” He then added, “And it’s not over. You know what’s happening right now? For generations, French-Canadian men have voted like French-Canadians. Now they’re starting to just resemble other Canadian men. And if that happens, that’s a game-changer. It’s happening at the provincial level, too, but I don’t think Trudeau or other progressives thought through the long-term impact of telling millions of men that they’re privileged, no matter their life circumstances. Right now, millions of those voters are shrugging and saying, ‘Well, okay. Fuck you. Me and my privilege will vote for the other guy.’”

The Toronto Catholic District School Board has quietly dissolved its race relations committee, a controversial move one former member called a “slap in the face.”
The board voted on Feb. 15 to end the committee, which trustee Maria Rizzo told the Star is a “relic of the past” and made redundant by other ethnic advisory committees and a new equity action plan the board approved in 2023.
But a letter to the board, written by non-voting members of the committee, is calling for the decision to be reversed.
The secret to lasting political popularity is to lose an election, then retire.
As Brian Mulroney once pointed out, it was all downhill after he won 50 per cent of the popular vote in 1984.
Eight years in office later, his approval rate was just 12 per cent.
Not gonna happen. I will never like Trudeau.

I feel genuinely sorry for this kid.
