Britain is quietly bringing Isis brides back home

Britain has quietly repatriated Islamic State-linked women and children who were held alongside Shamima Begum in Syria, according to a director of the camp that holds the so-called Isis brides.

Six women in camps held by the western-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have been sent back to Britain without fanfare, along with nine children.

There have been concerns that Isis prisoners might escape in the chaos engulfing eastern Syria as the central authorities begin to reclaim territory from the Kurdish-led SDF.

Top Trump Official Alarmed by ‘Horror’ of Canada’s Euthanasia Organ Harvesting

A senior U.S. health official is sounding the alarm after explosive revelations that Canada’s government-run euthanasia program is now intertwined with organ harvesting, calling it a “strange new horror” that should terrify the world.

Jim O’Neil, the Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, blasted Canada’s so-called Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program.

O’Neil responded after reports confirmed that organs are being taken from patients who are medically euthanized.

Is Canada on Trump’s Hit List? Let’s Do the Math

U.S. President Donald Trump’s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his declaration that the United States will now “run” Venezuela are deeply concerning on a number of levels: political, legal and moral.

But we should not forget, either, about the environmental cost of Trump’s plan to ramp up production of Venezuelan oil. Nor should we ignore what Trump’s growing hunger for other countries’ natural resources might mean for Canada in the coming years.

I think it will be a relatively painless and selective annexation if it happens.

Man is stabbed as cars and businesses are trashed when Kurd and Syrian factions battle each other on British streets

A man was stabbed and cars and businesses were smashed up as fights broke out between groups of people of Syrian and Kurdish heritage in Manchester this week.

At least four people were arrested after hundreds descended on the city’s iconic Curry Mile for a second night of protests, led by the local Kurdish community, on Wednesday.

Disorder first broke out on Tuesday following a protest in the Rusholme area of the city, with police putting in place a Section 34 dispersal order.

Note to Mr. Carney, China is not our friend

Well, who saw that coming? Yesterday’s threat from President Donald Trump – that Canada would face 100% tariffs on all exports to the United States (US) if it “does a deal with China” – was widely reported and widely derided in Canadian political circles.

Yet if you strip away the hyperbole and the social media grandstanding, Trump’s response was both predictable and in a narrow strategic sense, reasonable. Think about it; to establish a continental security perimeter against Russia and China, he’s trying to get his hands on Greenland. But even as he’s doing that, the Government of Canada is opening up a backdoor entry point to China.

Federal government to introduce grocery rebate among other Elbowzo bribes

Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to announce an increase to the GST credit on Monday, as part of a larger suite of affordability measures intended to offset the rising cost of groceries.

Two senior government sources speaking on the condition they not be named say that quarterly GST payments will increase by 25 per cent over the next five years, and the measure is expected to affect approximately 12 million Canadians.

It will also include a one-time top-up of 50 per cent in June. The program will be called the “Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit.”

Trump Says Administration Is ‘Reviewing Everything’ About Minneapolis Shooting

WASHINGTON—President Trump declined to say whether the federal officer who fatally shot a man in Minnesota this weekend had acted appropriately and said the administration was reviewing the incident.

In a five-minute telephone interview with The Wall Street Journal on Sunday, Trump didn’t directly answer when asked twice whether the officer who shot Alex Pretti had done the right thing.

Pressed further, the president said, “We’re looking, we’re reviewing everything and will come out with a determination.” Administration officials have publicly defended the officer.

The president criticized Pretti—the 37-year-old who was killed by a federal Border Patrol agent Saturday morning on a Minneapolis street—for carrying a gun during protest activity.

What’s eating Canadian consumers the most? Try grocery prices

To many economists, the affordability crisis is an illusion.

The financial pressure weighing so heavily on Canadian households over the cost of living doesn’t really show up in the numbers.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, incomes have grown faster than inflation. Average weekly wages have risen by 29 per cent since the end of 2019, according to Statistics Canada. The Consumer Price Index is up by 21 per cent over the same period.

Furious protesters hammered on the gates of a small boat migrant processing centre chanting ‘send them back’ in Dover this afternoon.

There were tense scenes as around 50 demonstrators – many of them women and some accompanied by their children – confronted police guarding the Western Jet Foil facility opposite Lord Warden House.

The processing centre, which serves as an entry point where health checks are conducted before the migrants are moved to Manston asylum centre in Kent, has been closed for days for urgent repairs.
