Lionel Shriver on the West’s porous borders, the corrosion of citizenship and how the debate turned ‘radioactive’.

The Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc investigation at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School has ruled out some areas on the grounds as areas where potential unmarked graves may be, while data from multiple surveys has identified other areas that “should now be the primary focus” of the search.
It’s been almost five years since the First Nation shared that preliminary findings from a ground-penetrating radar survey found some 200 potential unmarked graves on the grounds of the former residential school.
Nothing but theft.

A police worker who claimed her colleagues were members of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) has lost her race discrimination case.
Neelam Puri, 59, who is from an Indian-Asian background, sued the Scottish Police Authority at an employment tribunal after making the ‘ludicrous’ suggestion that members of the police force were part of the white supremacist group.
Mrs Puri raised concerns after she heard co-workers having a discussion about how ‘the KKK had Scottish roots’, which made her feel ‘unsafe’.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre overwhelmingly won his leadership review in January with 87.4 per cent support of the vote. He will be the party leader for the foreseeable future and into the next federal election.
While most Conservatives are hopeful that Poilievre will become prime minister, there are contenders waiting in the wings if he’s unsuccessful. Ontario Premier Doug Ford may be one of them.

Across Europe, the public celebration of Ramadan has become a focal point for cultural and political tension. From Belgium to Germany, the increasing visibility of Islamic rituals in public spaces, supported by municipal authorities, has led to a series of confrontations.
In Zele, Belgium, the Eyyüp El-Ensari Mosque initiated the hanging of festive Ramadan lights in Zwaanstraat with the approval of the municipality. According to the mosque board, the lighting provides extra connection during Ramadan. The mosque plans to expand the project even further next year.

Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux is joining the Liberal caucus, according to a social media post by Prime Minister Mark Carney.
“Building a stronger, more resilient, and more independent country will require ambition, collaboration, and occasionally, sacrifice,” Carney wrote. “I am grateful to Matt and his family that he will continue his service as a strong voice for Edmonton Riverbend in Parliament.”

Leave it to the Democrats and their regime media flunkies to take the 1 percent side of a 99 percent to 1 percent issue, but a whole bunch of them, including Gavin Hairstyle and Jake Tapper, got into a high dudgeon the other day because normal Americans rejected the demand of radical Muslims to give up our puppies. Given the choice between Fido and Muslims who hate canines, the American people came down four-square in favor of Lassie. This is why you don’t ask a question if you don’t want to hear the answer.

OTTAWA — The diaspora organization that backed Conservative-turned-Liberal MP Michael Ma — and counts him as a former director — is now explicitly named in a landmark new study as part of the Chinese Communist Party’s overseas United Front influence network. The same association orchestrated pressure campaigns to oust two successive Conservative leaders over their stances toward Beijing, and its associates appear in Ma’s own campaign finance filings. The finding raises urgent new questions about one of the most consequential floor crossings in recent Canadian parliamentary history.

There are extensive studies on how to deal with stupidity. Some argue that it’s best to keep idiots hidden to minimize their destructive capacity, while others maintain that it’s better to expose them so everyone understands what they are. AOC has achieved something unprecedented in the history of universal stupidity: she has proven both sides right.
AOC attended the Munich Security Conference last weekend. It’s still unclear whether she went to contribute any ideas on security matters — that is, on how to stop the bad guys — or simply to make herself an easy target.
🚨 LMAO! Top-level Democrats are now referring to AOC’s remarks in Germany as the “DISASTER IN DEUTSCHLAND”
“If she runs for president, she’s given the opposition tons of ammo to destroy her!”
How are they JUST NOW figuring out she’s clueless? 🤣

The Canadian government’s long-awaited defence industrial strategy formally landed on Tuesday and arrives in the shadow of a push by the Trump administration to further make the United States the arms-maker of choice among allies.
The new strategy has been in the works for more than a year and promises to use defence investment to leverage the Canadian economy and jobs.
It sets out a series of important, high benchmarks for the country to achieve over the next decade, including buying and maintaining most of the military’s equipment domestically.

In the gauche caviar, in the end, it was the caviar that prevailed.
Jack Lang, untouchable for half a century, fell because of Jeffrey Epstein. At parties Lang used to say: “French culture is me”.
And now the party is over. Lang tried to save himself by becoming the de facto ambassador of Qatar, praising the role of the emirate-sponsor of Hamas-in “spreading Islam in Europe” and “defending Palestine.”

A transgender woman incarcerated as a dangerous offender since 2001 for sex offences against multiple women wants a judge to order Correctional Service of Canada to transfer her from the men’s prison system to a women’s institution following her recent gender surgery.
Correctional officials have opposed requests from Amanda Joy Cooper, 58, to be moved to a women’s prison, citing in court records her risk to reoffend and history of “obsessive attachments” to female staff, concluding she would pose a “very high risk to the safety” of the other inmates.
Tax dollars paid for this perverts twisted fantasy.

British comic legend John Cleese has asked whether he will be branded a terrorist for simply questioning the role of Islam and mass migration on the future of the country of his birth.
