100+ Babies Referred to UK‘s De-Radicalisation Programme ‘Prevent‘

Hundreds of very young children have been referred to the UK government’s counter-extremism programme before they’ve even had a chance to start school, the vast majority for “Islamist Extremism” concerns, figures reveal.

388 children of pre-school age were referred to the Prevent deradicalisation programme in the eight years leading to 2024, including 45 babies under one-years-old and 138 aged two or younger. The vast majority of these referrals are for “Islamist Extremism”.

Trump’s trade war is pushing Canada closer to China

It is an image that just a year ago would have seemed unfathomable: the Canadian and Chinese leaders standing side by side, shaking hands and grinning.

Ties between the two countries cratered in 2018 when Canadian police arrested Chinese technology executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver on US fraud charges. Days later, Beijing locked up two Canadians, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, on spying charges that Canada slammed as bogus. (Kovrig and Spavor were released nearly three years later after the US dropped the extradition request for Meng).

The diplomatic tussle soured the relationship and engendered a deep mistrust between Ottawa and Beijing. But as President Donald Trump escalates his trade war with one of the US’s closest allies, Canada has looked to a longtime foe for some common ground.

Carney wants this.

The Luxury Electric Vehicle Is in Trouble

Just a few years ago, Ford Motor thought it had a big hit on its hands with the F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck.

But as of the end of September, Congress and President Trump eliminated federal tax credits for the purchase of electric vehicles, leading to a steep drop in sales, especially for large, pricey models like the Lightning.

Now, the Lightning’s future is in doubt. Ford has stopped making the truck, whose price starts at $55,000 and can rise to more than $85,000 for premium versions with added features, and it won’t say when or whether production will restart.

Zelenskyy fires ministers accused of involvement in bribery scheme as public outrage grows

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has moved to contain growing public outrage in Ukraine over a corruption scandal in the energy sector by firing two ministers who are accused of involvement in a large-scale bribery scheme.

Ukraine’s president said the justice minister Herman Halushchenko and energy minister Svitlana Grynchuk could no longer remain in their jobs. He also called for personal sanctions against his friend and former business partner Timur Mindich, the scheme’s alleged organiser.

Acknowledging popular anger, Zelenskyy said: “There must be maximum integrity in the energy sector, in absolutely all processes. I support every investigation carried out by law enforcement and anti-corruption officials. This is an absolutely clear and consistent position for everyone.”

If Canada is thrust into an election next week, it will be one of the strangest in living memory

If Canada is plunged into an election next week, we can already call it one of the most unwanted campaigns this country has ever seen.

Gord Johns, one of the New Democrat MPs who gets a vote on that matter next week, said it bluntly to the Star this week: “I know certainly Canadians don’t want an election,”

Yet Johns’ own party is looking seriously at getting itself election-ready, as my colleague Mark Ramzy reported. And what the NDP is contemplating would make this not just the most unwanted campaign ever, but also one of the weirdest.

Half of young Canadian men are at risk of ‘problem anger,’ survey finds … the other half haven’t read this article yet

You’d be angry too if you were made of pixels

Half of young Canadian men risk letting their anger interfere with their daily life, relationships and work, new research suggests.

A survey conducted by Intensions Consulting and the Canadian Men’s Health Foundation (CMHF) found that 50 per cent of men between the ages of 19 and 29 are at risk of “problem anger,” compared to just 22 per cent of all Canadian men.

The findings reveal a “troubling reality” and warn of “deeper stress and disconnection from support systems” for young men, the CMHF said in a Wednesday press release.


Take Away: Just because the government destroyed your economic future and trashed your society through mass immigration from incompatible cultures is no reason to be angry!

Paris marks 10 years since deadly Muslim terror attacks

France will commemorate on Thursday the November 13, 2015 terror attacks in which more than 130 people were killed and over 400 were injured when militants loyal to the so-called ‘Islamic State’ (IS) group attacked several sites in Paris.

“The 10th anniversary is here and emotions and tension are everywhere for us survivors,” said Arthur Denouveaux, president of victims’ association Life for Paris. “That kind of shields us from the world in a way, because we’re so focused on the grief and on remembering those who lost their lives.”

Another Alberta separatist leader is courting U.S. conservatives in Washington and Mar-a-Lago

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Another Alberta separatist has travelled south of the border to woo American conservatives.

In recent months, members of the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP), a separatist organization, have boasted of meetings in Washington, D.C., with senior-level officials from the U.S. administration. Now, the only political party affiliated with Alberta’s independence movement, the Republican Party of Alberta (RPA), is making its own waves south of the border.
