Canada pledged to spend 2% of GDP on its military. Would that transform it? Is it affordable?

For years, Canada and other NATO member countries have faced criticism for falling short of allocating two per cent of their GDP on military spending, a target set in 2014 by the military alliance.

Canada was among the allies who signed on in 2014 to aspire toward that target but has consistently failed to reach it.

However, earlier this month, NATO member leaders pledged to boost spending on national defence, agreeing to make the existing target of two per cent of GDP the minimum spent each year, with one-fifth of that going toward major equipment and research and development.

First Nation spends day in ceremony to launch dig for potential unmarked graves

Before the sun broke through the sky Monday morning, members of a Manitoba First Nation planned to start a critical month-long search in a good way.

Spiritual advisers were to lead a pipe ceremony in Minegoziibe Anishinabe while a sacred fire was to be lit near where potential graves of children forced to attend residential school may be.

The sacred fire is expected to burn for the entirety of the estimated four-week-long excavation of an area underneath the Catholic church where 14 anomalies were detected using ground-penetrating radar last year.

Greta Thunberg Denies Committing Crime

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg appeared before a court in the Southern Swedish city of Malmo on Monday, July 24th, and has been found guilty of disobeying police, Reuters reports.

The 20-year-old refused to comply with police orders to leave the port of Malmo on June 19th, where she and fellow climate alarmists had stopped traffic in the oil terminal of the port. Thunberg and the other activists were detained. They “took part in a demonstration that disrupted traffic” and “refused to obey police orders to leave the site,” according to the charge sheet seen by AFP.

A return to order: Canada is crumbling—And our leaders’ solutions are delusionally wrong

Allowing chaos and criminality is not compassion, no matter what the governing class pretends

Even the dwindling number of partisans who still bristle at the claim that Canada is broken must admit that it sure looks and feels that way. Life in Canadian cities is noticeably coarser, uglier, and more violent than it was just a few years ago. Places once known for their civic beauty like Victoria, where I grew up, are now defaced by parks and city blocks that would be considered embarrassing in the third world. It doesn’t help that this street-level squalor has spread incongruously in the shadow of gleaming new glass and steel apartment towers, which contribute in their own way to a growing feel of social division and alienation in what was, until very recently, still mostly a city of wood, stone, and brick built on a human scale.

Hunter Biden would dial in his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone into meetings with his overseas business partners, according to testimony expected before Congress this week from Devon Archer, the first son’s former best friend.

Archer, 48, who is facing jail for his role in a $60 million bond fraud, is scheduled to testify to the House Oversight Committee about meetings he witnessed that were attended by Joe Biden either in person or via speakerphone when Hunter would call his father and introduce him to foreign business partners or prospective investors.

It’s time to send Justin Trudeau to NATO purgatory

Like some of you, my father would say “it’s time for a frank talk” whenever he needed to tell me something I did not want to hear.

Back then, it was often a reminder that filling the gas tank was part of driving his car on Saturday nights.

Well, it’s time for a little frank talk with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada because he’s been eating too many free lunches lately.

‘Fight for a future’: protests against Netanyahu’s law engulf Israel

Protesters pitched tents and took to the streets of Jerusalem in their thousands on Sunday as part of a last-ditch attempt to halt the plans of Binyamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, to pass a law limiting the powers of the Supreme Court.

In a pilgrimage born of necessity, a throng of demonstrators marched on Jerusalem to set up camp near the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, and take part in a four-day protest along the steep approaches to the city . Hundreds of thousands of others across the country mobilised to protest against the government’s controversial vote on Monday.

China’s Spying in Canada Soars to New Heights

If there is one thing we as Canadians have heard an awful lot about of late it is what has been termed “foreign interference.” This refers to efforts by foreign states to identify those in our land and use them to advance their own interests, or stifle any activity deemed not in those interests. And while several nations have been highlighted as behind this kind of effort, of late the number one country by far is the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

Will Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez be remembered as a politician who decimated Canada’s news industry?

OTTAWA—Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez has a remarkably tricky job.

As Ottawa’s point-person on the troublesome file of online regulation, his role has tripped up everyone who has held the position since Justin Trudeau’s Liberals came to power. Previous ministers have been demoted for policy blunders, or ridiculed for their media gaffes.

Place your bets.

Donald Trump says Europe is ‘getting away with murder’ by not providing more aid to Ukraine

Donald Trump accused Europe of ‘smiling all the way to the bank’ because it has avoided forking over too much cash and military aid to Ukraine during its war with Russia.

Instead, Trump says, the U.S. has been burdened with the brunt of assistance for Ukraine – even coming from a less at-risk area across the ocean from the fighting.
