Activists attack Crown Jewels with apple crumble and custard at the Tower of London

Four people have been arrested after activists smothered apple crumble and custard over a glass case containing the Crown Jewels inside the Tower of London, this morning.

The campaigners, who have identified themselves as members of Take Back Power, then unfurled a sign saying: ‘Democracy has crumbled – tax the rich’.

Take Back Power said it is a new, nonviolent civil-resistance group demanding the UK government establishes a ‘permanent citizen’s assembly – a House of the People, which has the power to tax extreme wealth and fix Britain’.

Rosie O’Donnell’s life in exile: She moved to Ireland to escape Trump. Did it work?

DUBLIN — “Welcome to Ireland, Rosie,” said the woman walking toward her as she headed back from the store on Halloween night with candy. The passerby — a total stranger to Rosie O’Donnell — added blithely: “We hate him, too.”

Everyone here seems to recognize the American entertainer and know why she left the United States to move here in January.

“I felt on the verge of crying when I was there, when he got elected,” O’Donnell told an Irish television audience during a talk show appearance in March.

GUNTER: Federal workforce reduction plans show Carney Liberals won’t bring spending under control

Ontario Conservative MP Vincent Ho asked a simple question in the House of Commons. He received a simple (yet horrifying) answer.

Ho asked, “With regard to the federal public service, how many employees had an annualized salary of over $150,000?” The Treasury Board told Ho the number was 12,971 which works out to 3.5 per cent of the total federal workforce.

No One Want’s Your Stupid “National Immigration Month” How About “Remigration Month” Instead?

Senators say immigration bill meant to push back against rising ‘xenophobic rhetoric’

A Liberal-appointed group of senators says a seemingly harmless bill to mark Canada’s history of immigration is actually aimed at countering what they describe as growing “xenophobic rhetoric” in the national debate.

Blacklock’s Reporter says senators told the social affairs committee the proposal was timed to influence public discussion around annual immigration targets.

Somali fraud in Minnesota is the ‘biggest theft of taxpayer dollars in US HISTORY’, White House says

Somali refugees in Minnesota have committed the ‘biggest theft of taxpayer dollars in US history’ and local Democratic officials were ‘fully complicit’ in the scheme, White House officials declared Friday night.

Federal authorities announced this week that at least 86 people – mostly within small Somali communities in the state – have stolen more than $1 billion in public funds from programs meant to feed children, assist the homeless and provide autism therapy.

The suspects allegedly ran companies that billed Minnesota state officials for millions of dollars in social services that were never actually rendered in three separate fraud schemes.

This is quite a read …

Young Canadians increasingly tie immigration to home affordability problems, survey finds

Canadians’ attitudes toward immigration are the most negative they have been since the early 1990s, driven particularly by young people linking high migrant inflows to the affordability crisis and a housing shortage.

A new report from the Institute for Research on Public Policy, written by University of Toronto researchers, shows just how suddenly and dramatically sentiment toward immigration has changed in recent years. The report is based on 26 surveys produced by the Environics Institute between 1981 and 2024.

Caroline Elliott: The extreme ideology behind B.C.’s radical reconciliation agenda

British Columbians are understandably perplexed as to why their provincial government is going headlong down an economically devastating, undemocratic and divisive “reconciliation” path that is so obviously counter to the public interest.

But the reason is simple, and it’s in plain view for anyone who cares to look. Premier David Eby has surrounded himself with advisors who fervently believe in a radical ideology that sees the drastic reshaping of our society as a moral imperative.

The Pope asks Europe to follow Lebanon. Good luck!

We hear the sound of the wall when it collapses, not the sound of the ivy as it takes over.

On the plane returning from Lebanon to Rome, Pope Leo XIV urged Catholics concerned about the West to be “less afraid” of Islam, promoting “coexistence” and “friendship” between Christians and Muslims.

All well and good so far. Look closer.

WTF?

Is the HiLux Coming to America?

President Trump appeared to say that Americans are going to be allowed — isn’t it great? — to buy small, inexpensive vehicles that are not currently available for sale in America, because it is illegal to sell them in America. Models such as the little pickup made by Toyota — the HiLux — being one of them. Also, the so-called “Kei” cars, which are abundant in Japan but unavailable here.

Iran’s Regime Is on Its Knees — Why for God’s Sake Revive It?

The European Union is reportedly preparing to sit down with Iran to negotiate on its nuclear program — again. Even Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) — the UN’s nuclear watchdog — seems interested in engaging Iran in “diplomacy” again.

Iran’s regime, not surprisingly, appears more than happy to accept these overtures. On the surface, this international charm offensive may appear to be a constructive effort toward dialogue, but a dryer analysis suggests that such negotiations risk handing a monumental victory to a vicious regime that is vulnerable and weak — and rabidly opportunistic. By offering Iran another platform for legitimacy, the EU and the UN are shoring up a monumentally brutal regime at a time when, for the West’s own good, it should be applying pressure, not extending a hand.

Feds’ backtracking on climate action is ‘fuelling’ Quebec separatism, ex-minister Guilbeault says

The federal government is stoking Quebec separatism by walking back its climate commitments — including in its recent deal with Alberta — Liberal MP and former cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault says.

“There is a feeling right now that by abandoning our climate goals we are fuelling the separatist movement,” Guilbeault said in an interview airing Sunday on CBC’s Rosemary Barton Live.


He is a climate psycho and lies about the colour of the sky.
