Poll Shows Growing Support for Sharia Law in France

A new French survey suggests that a third of Muslims living in the country believe Sharia law should be applied worldwide. And just shy of 10% of those who support this think it should be introduced through coercion or force.

While interpretations of such a system differ, its implementation would inevitably bring far-reaching changes—particularly in how Europe approaches women’s rights and, especially, free speech, which is already weakening.

A tariff exemption was Canada’s salvation in 2025. It’s ‘absolutely’ at risk in 2026

OTTAWA – U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff campaign appeared to move at a breakneck pace towards Canada’s economy this year.

But beyond threats of double-digit tariff rates and sharp pain in manufacturing-heavy industries, a key exemption has allowed the majority Canadian goods to continue to cross the southern border duty-free.

Experts who spoke to The Canadian Press warned this saving grace for the economy is at risk in 2026 as North American trade officials prepare for a review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement, or CUSMA.

Another feel-good EV disappears as automakers rethink electric dreams

Volkswagen’s most smile-inducing car — the electric reboot of its iconic hippie camper van — isn’t shipping to US dealerships in 2026.

The German automaker shelved next year’s Buzz for the US, pausing new production after just one full year on sale.

The stoppage comes as automakers reassess which electric vehicles still make sense in a market where federal subsidies of up to $7,500 were cut in September.


This can’t be good for VW’s Canadian EV operations, and all of the money tax payers were made to throw at it.

We can’t fight terrorism if we’re scared of being called Islamophobic

A city council has installed special barriers around the local Christmas market. Yet it’s strangely coy about why

Birmingham City Council has just made a very important announcement. To keep people safe while visiting the local Christmas market, it’s installed “Hostile Vehicle Mitigation” bollards. “These measures,” explained the council in a cheerful video for social media, “stop hostile vehicles from entering pedestrian areas, so you can enjoy the famous Frankfurt Christmas Market with confidence.”

Good to hear. All the same, I do find one aspect of this statement surprising.

I didn’t know vehicles could be hostile.

Jamie Sarkonak: Electric buses are a disaster for every Canadian city that tries them

EV Bus Fire

Regina’s adoption of electric buses has been a disaster for the public. It’s the latest Canadian city to find this out the hard way.

WENZEL: Canadians are exhausted — why 2025 felt like a year of constant ‘pressure’

Alright, here’s the real year-end vibe.

It’s December. The roads are a mess, daylight disappears at four in the afternoon, and everybody’s running on a mix of caffeine, stress, and Christmas to-do lists. And if you’ve felt like this year has been heavier than it should have been, you’re not imagining it.

The theme of 2025 was “Pressure.”

Why Hasn’t Trump’s CDC Ditched This Rule That Punishes Neighborhoods For Being Too White?

White People – The horror!

Yes, so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion is on life support. President Trump’s executive orders have driven a stake through the heart of DEI programs in the federal government, and his agencies are steadily bringing universities, states, and cities to heel.

But woke policymakers are not giving up. A new tool is emerging to steer benefits and spending toward favored racial groups in the name of “equity.” The new tool is geography.

How to destroy a country: Part 1

‘THERE is a revolution coming. It will not be like the revolutions of the past. It will originate with the individual and with culture and will change the political structure only as its final act. It will not require violence to succeed, and it cannot be successfully resisted by violence. This is the revolution of the new generation.’ — Charles Reich, The Greening of America, 1970.

Vancouver Real Estate Saga Worthy of Beijing Opera: A Senior Party Official Accused of Massive Corruption, and His Opera Stagehand Son’s Canadian Fortune Traced After His Death

BRITISH COLUMBIA — It begins, as so many Vancouver real estate stories do, with a fortune that defies the logic of lawful wealth creation—too sudden, too large, too well-traveled, and too entangled with the machinery of China’s one-party state to feel like ordinary success—and hints at the familial web that would later unravel across the Pacific, after duffle bags of Chinese currency were converted into Canadian dollars to fund condo developments in Vancouver.
