British soldiers ‘on the ground’ in Ukraine, says German military leak

British soldiers are “on the ground” in Ukraine helping Kyiv’s forces fire long-range Storm Shadow missiles, according to a leak in Russian media of a top-secret call involving German air force officers.

The Kremlin said the leak demonstrated the direct involvement of the “collective west” in the war in Ukraine – while former British defence ministers expressed frustration with the German military in response to the revelations.

Released on Friday by the editor of the Kremlin-controlled news channel RT, Margarita Simonyan, the audio recording – confirmed as authentic by Germany – captures Luftwaffe officers discussing how Berlin’s Taurus missiles could be used to try to blow up the Kerch Bridge connecting Russia with occupied Crimea.

The Post-National Cult of Diversity Promotes Authoritarian Intolerance

“There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada. … Those qualities are what make us the first post-national state.” — Justin Trudeau, 2015.

Throughout history, populations with sufficient historical, geographic, linguistic, economic, religious, and cultural attachments have flourished within the borders of unified nation-states.

Few modern nation-states fit a uniform definition. In countries such as Canada and the United States, two or more nations, regions, colonies, and tribes learned to prosper together within a negotiated constitutional order.

Church of England told to raise £1bn to ‘address past wrongs of slavery’

The Church of England has been told to raise £1 billion from wealthy donors for a fund set up to address its links to transatlantic slavery.

In January last year, the Church Commissioners, who handle more than £10 billion of assets for the Church of England, announced the establishment of a £100 million fund to “address past wrongs of slavery”.

The pledge came following the publication of a report which found that much of the institution’s wealth originates from the slave trade.

CBC stars speak their minds on the spectre of cuts at the public broadcaster, exec bonuses

… Joseph Kay, creator of CTV’s hit procedural “Transplant” and showrunner of CBC’s 2015 drama “This Life,” worried about what the broadcaster’s cuts will mean for the future of original programming in Canada.

“You look at a show like ’Sort Of.’ Would a great show like that be bought by any other network in Canada? I’m not sure.’” he said of the series, starring Bilal Baig, who CBC touted as the first queer South Asian and Muslim actor to lead a Canadian prime time television series.

Massive, destructive wild boars have U.S. on guard against Alberta ‘immigrunts’

Many things might indeed be bigger in Texas, but when it comes to wild boars Alberta’s superpigs are twice the size of those thriving in the Lone Star State.

And that’s got wildlife officials across the U.S. worried these massive northern prairie porkers — with razor-sharp tusks and weighing up to 630 pounds — could soon pose a multi-billion dollar threat if they become unwanted ‘immigrunts’ by crossing the 49th parallel.

Iran elections: Why young Iranians would welcome return of Shah’s son

On Friday, Iran held parliamentary elections for the first time since nationwide protests in 2022-23. No one is holding their breath for the outcome.

Ideological diversity was non-existent: every candidate was vetted by the Islamic Republic’s Guardian Council, an assembly of 12 clerics controlled by the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamanei.

Elections are important for sustaining the regime’s legitimacy, particularly in the eyes of the Western media — CNN looked forward last week to “major elections” in Iran — but they have little actual political influence.

Alberta’s $200 electric vehicle registration tax is sparking debate among owners

Bassam Mahfoud bought a Tesla last December, following other Canadians who are flocking toward zero-emission vehicles.

And while electric vehicle sales in Canada are breaking records every year, Mahfoud said he isn’t surprised by the Alberta government’s recent decision to implement an annual electric vehicle tax.

Electric vehicle owners in the province will need to fork out an extra $200 to pay the new fee, starting as early as January 2025.

No CBC. No one is “flocking toward zero-emission vehicles”.

Germany’s elites run scared as Putin rains down death on Ukraine

A spectre is haunting Europe – the spectre of an unholy alliance of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

What is driving European politics at present is fear. Fear of who Russia might invade next if Ukraine were to collapse. Fear of what might happen if Trump were to abandon Nato and leave Europe to the mercy of Putin.

To adapt Dr Johnson’s adage: depend upon it, sir, when leaders fear they may be invaded in a matter of months, it concentrates their minds wonderfully.

Fear they may have to fund their own defense!

Major Grocers Expanding Discount Footprint as Customers Keep Budgets Tight

Canada’s biggest grocers are investing money and space in discount stores such as No Frills, Food Basics and FreshCo as shoppers look for ways to save on food amid the higher cost of living.

Converting grocery stores to discount is a relatively easy move, experts say, and one that is helping the grocers keep profits steady despite consumers seeking ways to rein in their spending.

“There’s all sorts of things that … people are doing, but one of them is looking for cheaper options. And so they are going to discount stores,” said Michael von Massow, a food economy professor at the University of Guelph.

Protest that prompted cancellation of PM’s reception under review: Toronto Police

Investigators with the Toronto Police are reviewing whether illegal activity occurred during a weekend protest that led to the cancellation of a reception hosted by the prime minister for a visiting G7 leader, the force said Sunday.

The Saturday evening event at the Art Gallery of Ontario was meant to cap off a day of meetings between Justin Trudeau and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Toronto, but it was abruptly cancelled after demonstrators shouting pro-Palestinian slogans blocked entrances to the building and prevented many attendees from getting in.
