Conservative voters less likely to say they’re proud to be Canadian, survey suggests

Canadians’ pride in their nationality, like most things these days, seems to be divided down partisan lines, a new poll suggests.

While a strong majority of the 1,512 respondents to the survey by Leger said they were proud to be Canadian — 81 per cent — the poll suggests the feeling is less common among Conservative supporters than their Liberal counterparts.

Experts say that while the results of the survey may be surprising given Conservatives’ reputation as a patriotic party, it reflects their discontent with the direction in which Canada is headed.

New RAF head ‘sorry we discriminated against white men’

The new head of the RAF has apologised unreservedly for a diversity drive that illegally discriminated against white men, in his first comments since taking the job.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton admitted the force’s recruitment and selection process wrongly “accelerated” 161 enlisted aviators, who were either women or from ethnic minority backgrounds, onto initial training ahead of other candidates between 2020 and 2021.

Pierre Poilievre has a likability challenge. Here’s what Conservative insiders say he should do about it — and where he’s going wrong

OTTAWA—Glasses or no glasses?

Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has hit the road for his first full summer as party boss, having shaken off the shackles of the House of Commons after a sitting that insiders say saw him finally settling into the job.

But top of mind for Conservatives is how Poilievre is faring as he prepares for the job he wants — being prime minister.

Canadian Soldier’s Refusal of COVID Vaccination Not a ‘Conduct Deficiency,’ Grievance Committee Rules

An independent military administrative tribunal has determined that a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) veteran had not shown a “conduct deficiency” in refusing COVID-19 vaccination and was therefore wrongfully expelled from the organization.

“I find that refusing vaccination should not have been considered a conduct deficiency since it was an exercise of a right protected by the Charter and recognized by existing laws and regulations,” wrote Nina Frid of the Military Grievances External Review Committee (MGERC) in a June 20 decision.

Europe, the La La Land continent of immigration

Sweden is a monument to European naivete that believes open immigration of Muslims can lead to integration with post-Christians.

“Free Derry” is a famous area that declared itself “autonomous” in Northern Ireland’s second city between 1969 and 1972. The term originates from the writing painted on the wall of a building:

“You are now entering Free Derry”. The name derives from its status as a “closed” area (no-go area) to British forces (British and Protestants called it Londonderry).
Who would have thought, fifty years later, that there would be other “no-go areas” in Europe?

Embassy stormed after Sweden Quran-burning protest

President Erdogan of Turkey has vowed to teach “arrogant westerners” a lesson as he condemned Sweden for allowing the public burning of a copy of the Quran outside the central mosque in Stockholm.

The stunt by an Iraqi national has prompted condemnation from across the Islamic world. Protesters massed outside the Swedish embassy in Baghdad, while Morocco and Jordan followed Russia in recalling their ambassadors from Sweden.

Dutch farmers’ party calls for refugee cap as it soars in the polls

The Dutch farmers’ party has called for a cap on asylum seekers in the Netherlands as polls predicted it would challenge the prime minister’s party to become the country’s strongest political force in a general election.

The Farmers-Citizen Movement (BBB) came from nowhere to become the largest party in all 12 Dutch provinces in regional elections in March after a campaign dominated by large-scale tractor protests against compulsory farm buy-outs to hit EU climate change targets.

German Catholic church ‘dying painful death’ as 520,000 leave in a year

The Catholic church in Germany has revealed it is losing followers like never before, with more than half a million people deciding to renounce their membership last year.

According to the Bonn-based German Bishops’ Conference, 522,821 people left the church in 2022, a number far surpassing predictions made by the institution itself and higher than most observers had expected. The previous record year for departures was in 2021, when just under 360,000 people left.

China’s Saboteurs Are Coming to America

There is now a Chinese invasion of the U.S. homeland.

“The jungle is filled with Chinese marching to America,” said war correspondent Michael Yon to Gatestone.

Chinese migrants are entering the United States on foot at the southern border. Almost all are desperate, seeking a better life for themselves and their children. Some, however, are coming to commit acts of sabotage.

Netherlands euthanizing autistic and intellectually handicapped people, researcher finds

Netherlands programs have euthanized otherwise healthy individuals with autism and intellectual handicaps in recent years, researchers have found.

Five individuals under the age of 30, who cited autism as a factor in their decision to seek legal euthanasia, are among the cases reviewed by specialists at the U.K.’s Kingston University.

I’m sure Canada’s Suicide Saviors will top that shortly.

Google to block access to Canadian news for anyone living in Canada

OTTAWA—Google has followed fellow tech giant Meta in announcing it will block Canadian news content from its search engine in Canada after days of negotiations with the Liberal government hit an impasse over its recently passed online news bill.

“We have been saying for over a year that this is the wrong approach to supporting journalism in Canada and may result in significant changes to our products,” a blog post from Kent Walker, the company’s president of global affairs, read Thursday.

Chaos erupts as daycare worker accused of sending nude photos of children to trans New Hampshire Democrat appears in court

Chaos erupted at a Massachusetts courtroom during the first court appearance of a daycare worker accused of sending photos of naked children to a trans former politician.

Prosecutors say the New Hampshire resident took the photos in a private bathroom during breaks before nap time and texted them to someone ‘with whom she was previously in an intimate relationship’ and shared 2,500 texts with.
